NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| (unaudited) |
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Enbridge Inc. ("we", "our", "us" and "Enbridge") have been prepared in accordance with general y accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and Regulation S-X for interim consolidated financial information. They do not include al of the information and notes required by US GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements contain al normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported. These interim consolidated financial statements fol ow the same significant accounting policies as those included in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the adoption of new standards (Note 2). Amounts are stated in Canadian dol ars unless otherwise noted. |
Our operations and earnings for interim periods can be affected by seasonal fluctuations within the gas distribution utility businesses, as wel as other factors such as supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and may not be indicative of annual results. |
Certain comparative figures in our interim consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. |
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDSDisclosures About Government AssistanceEffective January 1, 2022, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-10 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in November 2021 to increase the transparency of government assistance to business entities. The ASU adds new disclosure requirements for transactions with governments that are accounted for using a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The required disclosures include information about the nature of transactions, accounting policy applied, impacted financial statement line items and significant terms and conditions. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
Accounting for Certain Lessor Leases with Variable Lease PaymentsEffective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-05 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in July 2021 to amend lessor accounting for certain leases with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate and would have resulted in the recognition of a loss at lease commencement if classified as a sales-type or a direct financing lease. The ASU amends the classification requirements of such leases for lessors to result in an operating lease classification. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
Accounting for Modifications or Exchanges of Certain Equity-Classified ContractsEffective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-04 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in May 2021 to clarify issuer accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written cal options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The ASU requires an issuer to determine the accounting for the modification or exchange based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
| | 6 |
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own EquityEffective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06 on a modified retrospective basis. The new standard was issued in August 2020 to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. The ASU eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The ASU also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. The ASU amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use if-converted method for al convertible instruments and an update for instruments that can be settled in either cash or shares. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

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. |
Contract Balances |
| Contract | Contract | Contract |
| Receivables | Assets | Liabilities |
(mil ions of Canadian dol ars)Balance as at March 31, 2022 |
| | | | | 2,784 | 216 | 1,913 |
Balance as at December 31, 2021 | | | | | 2,369 | 213 | 1,898 |
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 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, 2022 included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period is $61 mil ion. Increases in contract liabilities from cash received, net of amounts recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $97 mil ion. |
Performance ObligationsThere was no material revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2022 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 $58.3 bil ion, of which $5.5 bil ion and $6.1 bil ion are expected to be recognized during the remaining nine months ending December 31, 2022 and year ending December 31, 2023, 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. |
| | | | 8 |
Variable ConsiderationDuring the three months ended March 31, 2022, 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 decision and potential customer negotiations, interim tol revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is considered variable consideration. |

5. 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. On December 30, 2021, we closed the sale of our minority ownership of Noverco Inc. (Noverco). For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding was reduced by our pro-rata weighted average interest in our own common shares of approximately 3 mil ion, resulting from our reciprocal investment in Noverco. |
DILUTEDThe treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive impact of stock options. This method assumes any proceeds from the exercise of stock options 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, |
| | 2022 | 2021 |
(number of shares in mil ions) | | | |
Weighted average shares outstanding | | 2,026 | | 2,022 |
Effect of dilutive options | | 3 | 1 |
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | | 2,029 | | 2,023 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 12.9 mil ion and 27.6 mil ion, respectively, of anti-dilutive stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $56.09 and $51.42, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per common share calculation. |

8. 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 US dol ar denominated debt. |
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 program to mitigate the impact of short-term interest rate volatility on interest expense via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 2.1%. |
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt that arise as a result of the changes in market interest rates. Pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swaps are used, when applicable, to hedge against future changes to the fair value of fixed rate debt which mitigates the impact of fluctuations in the fair value of fixed rate debt via execution of fixed to floating interest rate swaps. As at March 31, 2022, we do not have any pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swaps outstanding. |
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 mitigate our exposure to long-term interest rate variability on select forecast term debt issuances via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 2.1%. |
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 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. |
| 15 |
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 revaluation of the outstanding units every period. We use equity derivatives to manage the earnings volatility derived from one form of stock-based compensation, restricted share units. 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. 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. |

Fair Value DerivativesFor foreign exchange derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is included in Net foreign currency gain or Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is included in Net foreign currency gain in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Any excluded components are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. |

We estimate that a gain of $3 mil ion of AOCI related to unrealized cash flow hedges wil be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months. Actual amounts reclassified to earnings depend on the foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices in effect when derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature. For al forecasted transactions, the maximum term over which we are hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows is 45 months as at March 31, 2022. |

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. We also maintain current shelf prospectuses with securities regulators which enables 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 are in compliance with al the terms and conditions of our committed credit facility agreements and term debt indentures as at March 31, 2022. As a result, al credit facilities are available to us and the banks are obligated to fund and have been funding 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 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. |

| | | | | | 1,584 | | | 887 |
| 1 Other is comprised of commodity clearing house and physical natural gas and crude oil counterparties. |
As at March 31, 2022, we provided letters of credit totaling nil in lieu of providing cash col ateral to our counterparties pursuant to the terms of the relevant International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements. We held no cash col ateral on derivative asset exposures as at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. |
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, assessment of credit ratings and netting arrangements. Within Enbridge Gas Inc., 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 derivative 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, as wel as restricted long-term investments in Canadian equity securities that are held in trust in accordance with the Canada Energy Regulator's (CER) regulatory requirements under the Land Matters Consultation Initiative (LMCI). |
| | | | | | 20 |
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 available-for-sale preferred share investment, long-term debt and restricted long-term investments in Canadian government bonds held in trust in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements under the LMCI as Level 2. The fair value of our available-for-sale preferred share investment is based on the redemption value, which equals the face value plus accrued and unpaid interest periodical y reset based on market interest rates. 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 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. |

If adjusted, the significant unobservable inputs disclosed in the table above would have a direct impact on the fair value of our Level 3 derivative instruments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 derivative instruments include forward commodity prices. Changes in forward commodity prices could result in significantly different fair values for our Level 3 derivatives. |
Changes in net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy were as fol ows: |

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 as at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. |
NET INVESTMENT HEDGESWe currently have designated a portion of our US dol ar denominated debt, as wel as a portfolio of foreign exchange forward contracts in prior periods, as a hedge of our net investment in US dol ar denominated investments and subsidiaries. |
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $133 mil ion and $105 mil ion, respectively, on the translation of US dol ar denominated debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized nil on the change in fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts in OCI and nil in OCI associated with the settlement of foreign exchange forward contracts or with the settlement of US dol ar denominated debt that had matured during the period. |
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 $52 mil ion as at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. |
We have Restricted long-term investments held in trust totaling $213 mil ion and $217 mil ion as at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. We also have Restricted long-term investments held in trust totaling $381 mil ion and $413 mil ion as at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 and Level 2 Restricted long-term investments are recognized at fair value. These securities are classified as restricted funds which are col ected from customers and held in trust for the purpose of funding pipeline abandonment in accordance with regulatory requirements. There were unrealized holding losses of $60 mil ion and $45 mil ion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
| | | | 24 |
As at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our long-term debt had a carrying value of $75.2 bil ion and $74.4 bil ion, respectively, before debt issuance costs and a fair value of $75.5 bil ion and $82.0 bil ion, respectively. We also have non-current notes receivable carried at book value and recorded in Deferred amounts and other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the non-current notes receivable had a carrying value of $0.9 bil ion and $1.0 bil ion, respectively, which also approximates their fair value. |
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. |
9. INCOME TAXES |
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were 22.4% and 19.3%, respectively. The period-over-period increase in the effective income tax rate is due to the effect of rate-regulated accounting for income taxes relative to earnings and an increase in US minimum tax. |
