| 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and Regulation S-X for interim consolidated financial information. They do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. 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, 2019. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements contain all 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 follow the same significant accounting policies as those included in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new standards (Note 2). Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Our operations and earnings for interim periods can be affected by seasonal fluctuations within the gas distribution utility businesses, as well as other factors such as the 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 STANDARDS Clarifying Interaction between Collaborative Arrangements and Revenue from Contracts with CustomersEffective January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-18 on a retrospective basis. The new standard was issued in November 2018 to provide clarity on when transactions between entities in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under the new revenue standard, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606. In determining whether transactions in collaborative arrangements should be accounted for under the revenue standard, the update specifies that entities shall apply unit of account guidance to identify distinct goods or services and whether such goods and services are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. ASU 2018-18 also precludes entities from presenting transactions with a collaborative partner which are not in scope of the new revenue standard together with revenue from contracts with customers. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
| Disclosure EffectivenessEffective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-13 on both a retrospective and prospective basis depending on the change. The new standard was issued to improve the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by eliminating and modifying some disclosures, while also adding new disclosures. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
6 |
| Accounting for Credit LossesEffective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis. |
| The new standard was issued in June 2016 with the intent of providing financial statement users with more useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The previous accounting treatment used the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses that delayed the recognition until it was probable a loss had been incurred. The accounting update adds a new impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model, which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the Financial Accounting Standards Board believes results in more timely recognition of such losses. |
| Further, ASU 2018-19 was issued in November 2018 to clarify that operating lease receivables should be accounted for under the new leases standard, ASC 842, and are not within the scope of ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. |
| For accounts receivable, a loss allowance matrix is utilized to measure lifetime expected credit losses. The matrix contemplates historical credit losses by age of receivables, adjusted for any forward-looking information and management expectations. Other loan receivables and off-balance sheet commitments in scope of the new standard utilize a discounted cash flow methodology which calculates the current expected credit losses based on historical default probability rates associated with the credit rating of the counterparty and the related term of the loan or commitment, adjusted for forward-looking information and management expectations. |
| On January 1, 2020 we recorded $66 million of additional Deficit on our Statements of Financial Position in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-13. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income or Cash Flows during the period. |
| FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES Reference Rate ReformASU 2020-04 was issued in March 2020 to provide temporary optional guidance in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles when accounting for contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions impacted by rate reform, subject to meeting certain criteria. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard and the rate reform on our consolidated financial statements. |
| Clarifying Interaction between Equity Securities, Equity Method Investments and DerivativesASU 2020-01 was issued in January 2020 and clarifies that observable transactions should be considered for the purpose of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321 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 guidance only because, upon the contracts’ exercise, the equity securities could be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or fair value option. ASU 2020-01 is effective January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted and is applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. |

| 1 Includes mark-to-market gains/(losses) from our hedging program for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 of $1,106 |
| million loss and $258 million gain, respectively. |
| 2 Includes revenues from lease contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 of $158 million and $164 million, |
| respectively. |
| We disaggregate revenues into categories which represent our principal performance obligations within each business segment because these revenues categories represent the most significant revenue streams in each segment and consequently are considered to be the most relevant revenues information for management to consider in evaluating performance. |

| Balance as at March 31, 2020 | | | | | | 2,287 | 224 | | | 1,500 |
| Contract receivables represent the amount of receivables derived from contracts with customers. |
9 |
| Contract assets represent the amount of revenues which has been recognized in advance of payments received for performance obligations we have fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) 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 fulfilled. Contract liabilities primarily relate to make-up rights and deferred revenues. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $86 million. Increases in contract liabilities from cash received, net of amounts recognized as revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $76 million. |
| Performance Obligations There were no material revenues recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2020 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. |
| Revenues to be Recognized from Unfulfilled Performance ObligationsTotal revenues from performance obligations expected to be fulfilled in future periods is $68.0 billion, of which $5.5 billion and $6.4 billion is expected to be recognized during the nine months ending December 31, 2020, and the year ending December 31, 2021, 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 overall 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 unfulfilled performance obligations above. Variable consideration is excluded from the amounts above due to the uncertainty of the associated consideration, which is generally 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. Additionally, the effect of escalation on certain tolls which are contractually 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 tolls are periodically reset by the regulator are excluded from the amounts above since future tolls remain unknown. Finally, revenue from contracts with customers which have an original expected duration of one year or less are excluded from the amounts above. |

| 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 6 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, resulting from our reciprocal investment in Noverco Inc. |
11 |
| 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 follows: |
| | Three months ended |
| | | March 31, |
| | | 2020 | 2019 |
| (number of common shares in millions)Weighted average shares outstanding |
| | 2,019 | | 2,016 |
| Effect of dilutive options | | 2 | 3 |
| Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 2,021 | | 2,019 |
| For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 16.7 million and 10.5 million, respectively, anti-dilutive stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $56.26 and $55.32, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per common share calculation. |
| DIVIDENDS PER SHAREOn May 5, 2020, our Board of Directors declared the following quarterly dividends. All dividends are payable on June 1, 2020, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2020. |

| 1 The quarterly dividend per common share was increased 9.8% to $0.81 from $0.738, effective March 1, 2020. 2 The quarterly dividend per share paid on Series C was increased to $0.25458 from $0.25305 on March 1, 2020 due to reset on a |
| quarterly basis following the date of issuance of the Series C Preference Shares. |
| 3 The quarterly dividend per share paid on Series 11 was decreased to $0.24613 from $0.275 on March 1, 2020, due to the reset of |

| 9. IMPAIRMENT OF EQUITY INVESTMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a loss of $1,736 million resulting from an other than temporary impairment to the carrying value of our equity method investment in DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream). DCP Midstream holds a limited partner interest in and is the owner of the general partner of DCP Midstream, LP. The impairment in our equity investment is related to a decline in the market price of DCP Midstream, LP publicly-traded units as at March 31, 2020. In addition, we recorded a loss of $324 million from our equity pick up of the loss recorded by DCP Midstream in relation to DCP Midstream, LP's asset and goodwill impairment. This is recorded within Income from Equity Investments in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Our investment in DCP Midstream is part of the Gas Transmission and Midstream segment and our carrying value of the investment as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $341 million and $2,193 million, respectively. |
| 10. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
| MARKET RISKOur earnings, cash flows and Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and our share price (collectively, market risks). Formal risk management policies, processes and systems have been designed to mitigate these risks. The following 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 Risk We generate certain revenues, incur expenses, and hold a number of investments and subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. 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 dollar denominated investments and subsidiaries using foreign currency derivatives and United States dollar denominated debt. Interest Rate Risk Our 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 2.9%. |
| 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, 2020, we do not have any pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swaps outstanding. |

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

| of Earnings. |
| 2 Reported within Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. 3 Reported within Operating and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. |
| We estimate that a loss of $164 million of AOCI related to unrealized cash flow hedges will 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 all forecasted transactions, the maximum term over which we are hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows is 21 months as at March 31, 2020. |

| 4 Reported within Operating and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. LIQUIDITY RISK |
| |
| Liquidity risk is the risk that we will 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 rolling time period to determine whether sufficient funds will 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 United States 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 all anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets. We are in compliance with all the terms and conditions of our committed credit facility agreements and term debt indentures as at March 31, 2020. As a result, all 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 will 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. |
23 |
| We have credit concentrations and credit exposure, with respect to derivative instruments, in the following counterparty segments: |
| | March 31, | | December 31, |
| | | 2020 | | 2019 |
| (millions of Canadian dollars)Canadian financial institutions |
| | | 128 | | 146 |
| United States financial institutions | | 310 | | 40 |
| European financial institutions | | 165 | | 3 |
| Asian financial institutions | | 76 | | 92 |
| Other1 | | 798 | | 113 |
| | | 1,477 | | 394 |
| |
| 1 Other is comprised of commodity clearing house and physical natural gas and crude oil counterparties. As at March 31, 2020, we provided letters of credit totaling nil in lieu of providing cash collateral to our counterparties pursuant to the terms of the relevant International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements. We held no cash collateral on derivative asset exposures as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Gross derivative balances have been presented without the effects of collateral 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, credit risk is mitigated by the utilities' large and diversified customer base and the ability to recover an estimate for doubtful accounts 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. Generally, we classify and provide for receivables older than 30 days as past due. 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 generally 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. |
24 |
| 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 well as commodity swaps and options for which observable inputs can be obtained. |
| We have also categorized the fair value of our held to maturity preferred share investment and long-term debt as Level 2. The fair value of our held to maturity preferred share investment is primarily based on the yield of certain Government of Canada bonds. 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. Generally, 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, crude, NGL and natural gas contracts, basis swaps, commodity swaps 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. 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. Finally, we consider our own credit default swap spread as well 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 follows: |

| There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 as at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019. FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSOur other 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 other long-term investments totaled $56 million and $99 million as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We have Restricted long-term investments held in trust totaling $443 million and $434 million as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which are recognized at fair value. We have a held to maturity preferred share investment carried at its amortized cost of $566 million and $580 million as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These preferred shares are entitled to a cumulative preferred dividend based on the yield of 10-year Government of Canada bonds plus a margin of 4.38%. The fair value of this preferred share investment is $566 million and $580 million as at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our long-term debt had a carrying value of $68.1 billion and $64.4 billion, respectively, before debt issuance costs and a fair value of $65.9 billion and $70.5 billion, 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the non-current notes receivable had a carrying value of $1,130 million and $1,026 million, 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. NET INVESTMENT HEDGESWe have designated a portion of our United States dollar denominated debt, as well as a portfolio of foreign exchange forward contracts, as a hedge of our net investment in United States dollar denominated investments and subsidiaries. |
28 |

| On May 4, 2020, a rupture occurred on Line 10, a 30-inch natural gas pipeline that makes up part of the Texas Eastern natural gas pipeline system in Fleming County, Kentucky. There have been no reported injuries or damaged structures as a result of the rupture. Texas Eastern crews are on site and have secured the area. The impacted section of pipe was shut-in following the incident and remains isolated. The National Transportation Safety Board has assumed control of the site and is working with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and Enbridge to investigate. |
| The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility in Canada, the United States and international markets. We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced crude oil demand and reduced commodity prices on our results of operations. These demand effects coincided with decisions by various global producers, including the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil producing nations (OPEC+) to increase global production levels, putting severe downward pressure on prices. As a result, prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and other commodities whose prices are highly correlated to crude oil have decreased substantially. Given the many outstanding questions as to the length and depth of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current low commodity price environment, the impact on us is uncertain; however, it is possible that they may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations in the future. |
