Earnings Coverage Ratio
The following earnings coverage ratio for Enbridge Gas Inc. (the Company) has been calculated on a consolidated basis for the 12 month period ended June 30, 2020 and is derived from unaudited financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Adjustments for normal course issuances and repayments of debt subsequent to June 30, 2020 have been made to the ratio. The earnings coverage ratio set forth below does not purport to be indicative of the earnings coverage ratio for any future periods.

The Company evaluates its performance using a variety of measures. The earnings coverage ratio discussed above is not defined under U.S. GAAP and, therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, earnings as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of the Company's financial performance or liquidity. This measure is not necessarily comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company.
The Company’s interest requirements amounted to approximately $448 million for the 12 month period ended June 30, 2020. The Company’s earnings before interest and income taxes for the 12 month period ended June 30, 2020 were approximately $926 million, which is 2.1 times the Company’s interest requirements for this period.
