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, 2020. 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, 2020, 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. |
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDSReference Rate ReformFor eligible hedging relationships existing as at January 1, 2021 and prospectively, we have applied the optional expedient in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04 whereby the modification of the hedging instrument does not result in an automatic hedging relationship de-designation. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
Clarifying Interaction Between Equity Securities, Equity Method Investments and DerivativesEffective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2020-01 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in January 2020 and clarifies that observable transactions should be considered for the purpose of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 321 Investments - Equity Securities immediately before the application or upon discontinuance of the equity method of accounting. Furthermore, the ASU clarifies that forward contracts or purchased options on equity securities are not out of scope of ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging guidance only because, upon the contracts’ exercise, the equity securities could be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or fair value option. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
Accounting for Income TaxesEffective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-12 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued in December 2019 with the intent of simplifying the accounting for income taxes. The accounting update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 Income Taxes as wel as provides simplification by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
| | 6 |
FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGESAccounting for Certain Lessor Leases with Variable Lease PaymentsASU 2021-05 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. ASU 2021-05 is effective January 1, 2022 and can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. |
Accounting for Modifications or Exchanges of Certain Equity-Classified ContractsASU 2021-04 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. ASU 2021-04 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. |
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own EquityASU 2020-06 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. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a ful or modified retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. |
Accounting for Contract Assets and Liabilities from Contracts with Customers in a Business CombinationASU 2021-08 was issued in October 2021 to amend business combination accounting specific to contract assets and contract liabilities resulting from contracts with customers, requiring measurement in accordance with ASC 606. The ASU is also applicable to contract assets and contract liabilities from other contracts to which ASC 606 applies, such as contract liabilities from the sale of nonfinancial assets within the scope of ASC 610-20. ASU 2021-08 is effective January 1, 2023 and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. Early adoption requires retrospective application for business combinations with an acquisition date in the year of early application. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. |

| | | | | | | | We disaggregate revenues 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. |

| | 1,673 | 212 | 1,842 |
Balance as at December 31, 2020 | | 2,042 | 226 | 1,815 |
Contract receivables represent the amount of receivables derived from contracts with customers. |
Contract assets represent the amount of revenues which have 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 payment is unconditional. Amounts included in contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when our right to receive 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 revenues. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $44 mil ion and $269 mil ion, respectively. Increases in contract liabilities from cash received, net of amounts recognized as revenues, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $154 mil ion and $299 mil ion, respectively. |
Performance Obligations There were no material revenues recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. |
Revenues to be Recognized from Unfulfilled Performance ObligationsTotal revenues from performance obligations expected to be fulfil ed in future periods are $55.6 bil ion, of which $1.7 bil ion and $5.6 bil ion are expected to be recognized during the remaining three months ending December 31, 2021 and the year ending December 31, 2022, respectively. |
The revenues excluded from the amounts above based on optional exemptions available under ASC 606, as explained below, represent a significant portion of our overal revenues and revenue 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 revenues 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, revenue from contracts with customers which have an original expected duration of one year or less are excluded from the amounts above. |

Variable Consideration During the three months ended September 30, 2021, 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 Canadian Mainline 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, the interim tol revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 is considered variable consideration. We do not expect a significant adjustment to revenue when the uncertainty is resolved. |

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. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been reduced by our pro-rata weighted average interest in our own common shares of approximately 2 mil ion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 5 mil ion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting from our reciprocal investment in Noverco Inc. (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 | Nine months ended |
| September 30, | September 30, |
| | | 2021 | 2020 | 2021 | | | 2020 |
(number of shares in mil ions) | | | | | | | | | |
Weighted average shares outstanding | | 2,024 | | | 2,021 | 2,023 | | | 2,020 |
Effect of dilutive options | | | 2 | — | | 2 | 1 |
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | | 2,026 | | | 2,021 | 2,025 | | | 2,021 |
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 13.3 mil ion and 34.1 mil ion, respectively, of anti-dilutive stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $56.16 and $50.55, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per common share calculation. |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 20.5 mil ion and 28.5 mil ion, respectively, of anti-dilutive stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $52.19 and $51.85, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per common share calculation. |

We also extended approximately $10.0 bil ion of our 364-day extendible credit facilities to July 2022, which includes a one-year term out provision to July 2023. |
In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $1.3 bil ion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $868 mil ion was unutilized as at September 30, 2021. As at December 31, 2020, we had $849 mil ion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $533 mil ion was unutilized. |
Our credit facilities carry a weighted average standby fee of 0.1% per annum on the unused portion and draws bear interest at market rates. Certain credit facilities serve as a back-stop to the commercial paper programs and we have the option to extend such facilities, which are currently scheduled to mature from 2022 to 2026. |
As at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings and non-revolving credit facilities that mature within one year, of $8.3 bil ion and $9.9 bil ion, respectively, were supported by the availability of long-term committed credit facilities and, therefore, have been classified as long-term debt. |

8. IMPAIRMENT OF EQUITY INVESTMENTS |
PennEast Pipeline Company, L.L.C.PennEast Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (PennEast) is a joint venture formed to develop a natural gas transmission pipeline to serve local distribution companies and power generators in Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is owned 20% by Enbridge, and is recorded as an equity method investment. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, PennEast determined further development of the project was no longer viable and further development of the project has ceased. As a result, we recorded an other than temporary impairment loss of $111 mil ion on our investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 based on the estimated fair value of our share of the net assets. The carrying value of this investment as at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $11 mil ion and $116 mil ion, respectively. |
Steckman Ridge, LPSteckman Ridge, LP (Steckman) is engaged in the storage of natural gas, is owned 50% by Enbridge, and is recorded as an equity method investment. In the third quarter of 2020, Steckman’s forecasted performance was adjusted for the expectation that future available capacity wil be re-contracted at lower than expected rates and an other than temporary impairment loss on our investment of $221 mil ion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was recorded based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The carrying value of this investment as at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $88 mil ion and $90 mil ion, respectively. |
Southeast Supply Header, L.L.C.Southeast Supply Header, L.L.C. (SESH) provides natural gas transmission services from east Texas and northern Louisiana to the southeast markets of the Gulf Coast. SESH is owned 50% by Enbridge and is recorded as an equity method investment. In the third quarter of 2020, SESH's forecasted performance was revised to reflect downward revisions to future negotiated rates as wel as higher than expected available capacity levels, caused primarily by a significant contract expiry. An other than temporary impairment loss on our investment of $394 mil ion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was recorded based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The carrying value of this investment as at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $83 mil ion and $84 mil ion, respectively. |
DCP Midstream, LLCDCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream), a 50% owned equity method investment of Enbridge, holds an equity interest in DCP Midstream, LP. A decline in the market price of DCP Midstream, LP’s publicly traded units during the first quarter of 2020 resulted in an other than temporary impairment loss on our investment in DCP Midstream of $1.7 bil ion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, we incurred losses of $324 mil ion through our equity earnings pick up in relation to asset and goodwil impairment losses recorded by DCP Midstream, LP during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The carrying value of our investment in DCP Midstream as at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $298 mil ion and $331 mil ion, respectively. |

9. 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. |
| 19 |
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. |
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 significantly 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 3.2%. |
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 September 30, 2021, 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 within 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 1.9%. |
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. 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. |
| 20 |
COVID-19 PANDEMIC RISK The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility in Canada, the US and international markets. While we have taken proactive measures to deliver energy safely and reliably during this pandemic, given the ongoing dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, including ongoing uncertainty as to the duration of the pandemic and corresponding public health measures, the impact of this pandemic and the ongoing recovery on our business remains uncertain. |
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 maximum potential settlement amounts in the event of these specific circumstances. Al amounts are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. |

We estimate that a loss of $59 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 27 months as at September 30, 2021. |

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 September 30, 2021. 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. |
| | | | | | | 24 |
We have credit concentrations and credit exposure, with respect to derivative instruments, in the fol owing counterparty segments: |

| | 1,035 | | 872 |
| 1 Other is comprised of commodity clearing house and physical natural gas and crude oil counterparties. |
As at September 30, 2021, 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. |
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 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 derivative 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 derivatives 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 derivative 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. |
| | | | | 25 |
Level 2Level 2 includes derivative valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Derivatives 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 derivative. 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 and long-term debt 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. |
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. 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) 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. |

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 as at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. |
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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $18 mil ion and a loss of $226 mil ion, respectively, on the translation of US dol ar denominated debt and unrealized gain of nil and $13 mil ion, respectively, on the change in fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts in OCI. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized realized losses of nil and $15 mil ion, respectively, 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. |
We have Restricted long-term investments held in trust totaling $575 mil ion and $553 mil ion as at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which are recognized at fair value. |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sel our 38.9% noncontrol ing interest in Noverco, which is comprised of both common shares and preferred shares. Historical y, the preferred shares have been classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. As a result of our intent to sel our interest in Noverco, the preferred shares were reclassified from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale at fair value during the second quarter of 2021. The fair value of the preferred shares was $580 mil ion and $567 mil ion as at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There were no gains or losses recognized in OCI on reclassification. |
| | | | 29 |
As at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our long-term debt had a carrying value of $70.0 bil ion and $66.1 bil ion, respectively, before debt issuance costs and a fair value of $76.5 bil ion and $75.1 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the non-current notes receivable had a carrying value of $1.0 bil ion and $1.1 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. |
10. INCOME TAXES |
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 19.6% and 17.3%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 18.0% and 15.3%, respectively. |
The period-over-period increases in the effective income tax rates are due to the effect of rate-regulated accounting for income taxes, the benefit of foreign tax rate differentials and an adjustment related to regulatory balances from prior year. The increase is partial y offset by a reduction in US minimum tax and the release of previously recognized uncertain tax positions. |

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred nil and $236 mil ion in severance costs related to our voluntary workforce reduction program. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no such costs incurred. Severance costs are included in Operating and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. |
12. CONTINGENCIES We and our subsidiaries are involved in 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. |
