1 Includes realized and unrealized gains and losses from our hedging program which for the three months ended March 31, 2023 |
were a net $55 mil ion loss (2022 - $94 mil ion gain). |
2 Includes revenues from lease contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 of $144 mil ion and $164 mil ion, |
respectively. |
We disaggregate revenue into categories which represent our principal performance obligations within each business segment. These revenue categories represent the most significant revenue streams in each segment and consequently are considered to be the most relevant revenue information for management to consider in evaluating performance. |

| | | | | 3,186 | 232 | 2,328 |
Balance as at December 31, 2022 | | | | | 3,183 | 230 | 2,241 |
Contract receivables represent the amount of receivables derived from contracts with customers. |
Contract assets represent the amount of revenue which has been recognized in advance of payments received for performance obligations we have fulfil ed (or have partial y fulfil ed) and prior to the point in time at which our right to the payment is unconditional. Amounts included in contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when our right to the consideration becomes unconditional. |
Contract liabilities represent payments received for performance obligations which have not been fulfil ed. Contract liabilities primarily relate to make-up rights and deferred revenue. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $36 mil ion. Increases in contract liabilities from cash received, net of amounts recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $124 mil ion. |
Performance ObligationsThere was no material revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. |
Revenue to be Recognized from Unfulfilled Performance ObligationsTotal revenue from performance obligations expected to be fulfil ed in future periods is $60.0 bil ion, of which $6.0 bil ion and $6.7 bil ion are expected to be recognized during the remaining nine months ending December 31, 2023 and the year ending December 31, 2024, respectively. |
The revenues excluded from the amounts above, based on optional exemptions available under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, as explained below, represent a significant portion of our overal revenues and revenues from contracts with customers. Certain revenues such as flow-through operating costs charged to shippers are recognized at the amount for which we have the right to invoice our customers and are excluded from the amounts for revenue to be recognized in the future from unfulfil ed performance obligations above. Variable consideration is excluded from the amounts above due to the uncertainty of the associated consideration, which is general y resolved when actual volumes and prices are determined. For example, we consider interruptible transportation service revenues to be variable revenues since volumes cannot be estimated. Additional y, the effect of escalation on certain tol s which are contractual y escalated for inflation has not been reflected in the amounts above as it is not possible to reliably estimate future inflation rates. Revenues for periods extending beyond the current rate settlement term for regulated contracts where the tol s are periodical y reset by the regulator are excluded from the amounts above since future tol s remain unknown. Final y, revenues from contracts with customers which have an original expected duration of one year or less are excluded from the amounts above. |
Variable ConsiderationDuring the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue for the Canadian Mainline has been recognized in accordance with the terms of the Competitive Tol ing Settlement, which expired on June 30, 2021. The tol s in place on June 30, 2021 continue on an interim basis until a new commercial arrangement is implemented and are subject to finalization and adjustment applicable to the interim period, if any. Due to the uncertainty of adjustment to tol ing pursuant to a Canada Energy Regulator (CER) decision, interim tol revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 is considered variable consideration. |

4. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE |
BASICEarnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. |
DILUTEDThe treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive impact of stock options and RSUs. This method assumes any proceeds from the exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. |
Weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share are as fol ows: |
| Three months ended |
| | March 31, |
| | 2023 | 2022 |
(number of shares in mil ions) | | | |
Weighted average shares outstanding | | 2,025 | | 2,026 |
Effect of dilutive options and RSUs | | 3 | 3 |
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | | 2,028 | | 2,029 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 16.7 mil ion and 12.9 mil ion, respectively, of anti-dilutive stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $55.62 and $56.09, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per common share calculation. |
DIVIDENDS PER SHAREOn May 2, 2023, our Board of Directors declared the fol owing quarterly dividends. Al dividends are payable on June 1, 2023 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2023. |

7. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
MARKET RISKOur earnings, cash flows and other comprehensive income/(loss) (OCI) are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and our share price (col ectively, market risks). Formal risk management policies, processes and systems have been designed to mitigate these risks. |
The fol owing summarizes the types of market risks to which we are exposed and the risk management instruments used to mitigate them. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage the risks noted below. |
Foreign Exchange RiskWe generate certain revenues, incur expenses and hold a number of investments and subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than Canadian dol ars. As a result, our earnings, cash flows and OCI are exposed to fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variability. |
We employ financial derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency denominated earnings exposure. A combination of qualifying cash flow, fair value and non-qualifying derivative instruments is used to hedge anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses and to manage variability in cash flows. We hedge certain net investments in United States (US) dol ar-denominated investments and subsidiaries using foreign currency derivatives and US dol ar-denominated debt. |
The foreign exchange risks inherent within the Competitive Tol Settlement framework are not expected to be present in the negotiated settlement. Accordingly, our foreign exchange hedging program related to the Canadian Mainline wil no longer be required, and the related derivatives were terminated in the first quarter of 2023 for a realized loss of $638 mil ion. |
Interest Rate RiskOur earnings and cash flows are exposed to short-term interest rate variability due to the regular repricing of our variable rate debt, primarily commercial paper. We monitor our debt portfolio mix of fixed and variable rate debt instruments to manage a consolidated portfolio of floating rate debt within the Board of Directors' approved policy limit of a maximum of 30% of floating rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. We primarily use qualifying derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk. Pay fixed-receive floating interest rate swaps may be used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have implemented a hedging program to partial y mitigate the impact of short-term interest rate volatility on interest expense via the execution of floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. These hedges have an average fixed rate of 4.1%. |
On March 8, 2023, we issued US$700 mil ion three-year fixed rate notes which includes the right for us to cal at par after the first year. A corresponding fix-to-floating cancel able swap was also executed which gives the swap counterparty a similar right to cancel the swap after the first year. This swap has a fixed rate of 6.0%. This instrument is our only pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swap outstanding as at March 31, 2023. |
Our earnings and cash flows are also exposed to variability in longer term interest rates ahead of anticipated fixed rate term debt issuances. Forward starting interest rate swaps are used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have established a program including some of our subsidiaries to partial y mitigate our exposure to long-term interest rate variability on forecasted term debt issuances via the execution of floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 2.5%. |
| 15 |
Commodity Price RiskOur earnings and cash flows are exposed to changes in commodity prices as a result of our ownership interests in certain assets and investments, as wel as through the activities of our energy services subsidiaries. These commodities include natural gas, crude oil, power and natural gas liquids (NGL). We employ financial and physical derivative instruments to fix a portion of the variable price exposures that arise from physical transactions involving these commodities. We use primarily non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk. |
Equity Price RiskEquity price risk is the risk of earnings fluctuations due to changes in our share price. We have exposure to our own common share price through the issuance of various forms of stock-based compensation, which affect earnings through the revaluation of outstanding units every period. We use equity derivatives to manage the earnings volatility derived from one form of stock-based compensation, RSUs. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage equity price risk. |
TOTAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTSWe general y have a policy of entering into individual International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) agreements, or other similar derivative agreements, with the majority of our financial derivative counterparties. These agreements provide for the net settlement of derivative instruments outstanding with specific counterparties in the event of bankruptcy or other significant credit events and reduce our credit risk exposure on financial derivative asset positions outstanding with the counterparties in those circumstances. |
The fol owing table summarizes the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position location and carrying value of our derivative instruments, as wel as the maximum potential settlement amounts, in the event of the specific circumstances described above. Al amounts are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. |

LIQUIDITY RISK |
| Liquidity risk is the risk that we wil not be able to meet our financial obligations, including commitments and guarantees, as they become due. In order to mitigate this risk, we forecast cash requirements over a 12-month rol ing time period to determine whether sufficient funds wil be available and maintain substantial capacity under our committed bank lines of credit to address any contingencies. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are funds generated from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and draws under committed credit facilities and long-term debt, which includes debentures and medium-term notes. Our shelf prospectuses with securities regulators enable ready access to either the Canadian or US public capital markets, subject to market conditions. In addition, we maintain sufficient liquidity through committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and institutions which, if necessary, enables us to fund al anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets. We were in compliance with al the terms and conditions of our committed credit facility agreements and term debt indentures as at March 31, 2023. As a result, al credit facilities are available to us and the banks are obligated to fund us under the terms of the facilities. |
CREDIT RISK |
| Entering into derivative instruments may result in exposure to credit risk from the possibility that a counterparty wil default on its contractual obligations. In order to mitigate this risk, we enter into risk management transactions primarily with institutions that possess strong investment grade credit ratings. Credit risk relating to derivative counterparties is mitigated through the maintenance and monitoring of credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, netting arrangements and ongoing monitoring of counterparty credit exposure using external credit rating services and other analytical tools. |

We have credit concentrations and credit exposure, with respect to derivative instruments, in the fol owing counterparty segments: |

As at March 31, 2023, we did not provide any letters of credit in lieu of providing cash col ateral to our counterparties pursuant to the terms of the relevant ISDA agreements. We held no cash col ateral on derivative asset exposures as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. |
Gross derivative balances have been presented without the effects of col ateral posted. Derivative assets are adjusted for non-performance risk of our counterparties using their credit default swap spread rates and are reflected at fair value. For derivative liabilities, our non-performance risk is considered in the valuation. |
Credit risk also arises from trade and other long-term receivables, and is mitigated through credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, the assessment of credit ratings and netting arrangements. Within Enbridge Gas, credit risk is mitigated by the utility's large and diversified customer base and the ability to recover an estimate for expected credit losses through the ratemaking process. We actively monitor the financial strength of large industrial customers and, in select cases, have obtained additional security to minimize the risk of default on receivables. General y, we utilize a loss al owance matrix which contemplates historical credit losses by age of receivables, adjusted for any forward-looking information and management expectations to measure lifetime expected credit losses of receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk related to non-derivative financial assets is their carrying value. |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTSOur financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivatives and other financial instruments. We also disclose the fair value of other financial instruments not measured at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments reflects our best estimates of market value based on general y accepted valuation techniques or models and is supported by observable market prices and rates. When such values are not available, we use discounted cash flow analysis from applicable yield curves based on observable market inputs to estimate fair value. |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSWe categorize our financial instruments measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. |
Level 1Level 1 includes financial instruments measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. An active market for a financial instrument is considered to be a market where transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Our Level 1 instruments consist primarily of exchange-traded derivatives used to mitigate the risk of crude oil price fluctuations, US and Canadian treasury bil s, investments in exchange-traded equity funds held by our captive insurance subsidiaries, as wel as restricted long-term investments in Canadian equity securities that are held in trust in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements under the Land Matters Consultation Initiative (LMCI). |
| | | | | | 21 |
Level 2Level 2 includes financial instrument valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Financial instruments in this category are valued using models or other industry standard valuation techniques derived from observable market data. Such valuation techniques include inputs such as quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors and broker quotes that can be observed or corroborated in the market for the entire duration of the financial instrument. Derivatives valued using Level 2 inputs include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts, interest rate swaps, physical forward commodity contracts, as wel as commodity swaps and options for which observable inputs can be obtained. |
We have also categorized the fair value of our long-term debt, investments in debt securities held by our captive insurance subsidiaries, and restricted long-term investments in Canadian government bonds held in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements under the LMCI as Level 2. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for instruments of similar yield, credit risk and tenor. When possible, the fair value of our restricted long-term investments is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and, if not available, based on broker quotes. |
Level 3Level 3 includes derivative valuations based on inputs which are less observable, unavailable or where the observable data does not support a significant portion of the derivatives' fair value. General y, Level 3 derivatives are longer dated transactions, occur in less active markets, occur at locations where pricing information is not available or have no binding broker quote to support Level 2 classification. We have developed methodologies, benchmarked against industry standards, to determine fair value for these derivatives based on the extrapolation of observable future prices and rates. Derivatives valued using Level 3 inputs primarily include long-dated derivative power, NGL and natural gas contracts, basis swaps, commodity swaps, and power and energy swaps, as wel as physical forward commodity contracts. We do not have any other financial instruments categorized in Level 3. |
We use the most observable inputs available to estimate the fair value of our derivatives. When possible, we estimate the fair value of our derivatives based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, we use estimates from third party brokers. For non-exchange traded derivatives classified in Levels 2 and 3, we use standard valuation techniques to calculate the estimated fair value. These methods include discounted cash flows for forwards and swaps and Black-Scholes-Merton pricing models for options. Depending on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying risk, we use observable market prices (interest, foreign exchange, commodity and share price) and volatility as primary inputs to these valuation techniques. Final y, we consider our own credit default swap spread, as wel as the credit default swap spreads associated with our counterparties, in our estimation of fair value. |

FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSCertain long-term investments in other entities with no actively quoted prices are classified as Fair Value Measurement Alternative (FVMA) investments and are recorded at cost less impairment. The carrying value of FVMA investments totaled $209 mil ion and $102 mil ion as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. |
As at March 31, 2023, we had investments with a fair value of $646 mil ion included in Restricted long-term investments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (December 31, 2022 - $593 mil ion). These securities are classified as available-for-sale and represent restricted funds which are col ected from customers and held in trust for the purpose of funding pipeline abandonment in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements. |
We had restricted long-term investments held in trust totaling $249 mil ion as at March 31, 2023, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (December 31, 2022 - $236 mil ion).

There were unrealized holding gains of $34 mil ion on these investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (2022 - losses of $60 mil ion). |
| | | | 25 |
We have whol y-owned captive insurance subsidiaries whose principal activity is providing insurance and reinsurance coverage for certain insurable property and casualty risk exposures of our operating subsidiaries and certain equity investments. As at March 31, 2023, the fair value of investments in equity funds and debt securities held by our captive insurance subsidiaries was $351 mil ion and $309 mil ion, respectively (December 31, 2022 - $335 mil ion and $298 mil ion, respectively). Our investments in debt securities had a cost basis of $303 mil ion as at March 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $295 mil ion). These investments in equity funds and debt securities are recognized at fair value, classified as Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, respectively, and are recorded in Other current assets and Long-term investments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities other than derivative instruments, long-term investments, restricted long-term investments, long-term debt and non-current notes receivable described above approximate their carrying value due to the short period to maturity. |
8. INCOME TAXES |
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 21.5% and 22.4%, respectively. |
The period-over-period decrease in the effective income tax rate is due to higher investment tax credits available on certain capital projects in the US, and the effects of rate-regulated accounting for income taxes relative to earnings. |

LITIGATIONWe and our subsidiaries are subject to various legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and chal enges to regulatory approvals and permits. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings wil not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
TAX MATTERSWe and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While ful y supportable in our view, these tax positions, if chal enged by tax authorities, may not be ful y sustained on review. |
INSURANCEWe maintain a comprehensive insurance program for us, our operating subsidiaries and certain equity investments. This program includes insurance coverage in types and amounts and is subject to certain deductibles, terms, exclusions and conditions that are general y consistent with coverage considered customary for our industry, however insurance does not cover al events in al circumstances. We self-insure a significant portion of expected losses relating to certain insurance property and casualty risk exposures in the US and Canada through our whol y-owned captive insurance subsidiaries. |
In the unlikely event multiple insurable incidents occur which exceed coverage limits within the same insurance period, the total insurance coverage wil be al ocated among entities on an equitable basis based on an insurance al ocation agreement we have entered into with us and other subsidiaries. Insurance estimates include certain assumptions and management judgments regarding the frequency and severity of claims, claim development and settlement practices and the selection of estimated loss among estimates derived using different methods. |
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT |
