Executive Overview and Business Update
Over the past year, Pembina delivered strong financial and operational results, advanced major strategic projects, and strengthened its long‑term competitive position in a rapidly evolving North American energy landscape. Reliable, cost‑effective, and responsibly developed and operated infrastructure that supports access to high value markets has never been more essential. Pembina is meeting this need with an integrated value chain that continues to demonstrate resilience, efficiency, and the ability to convert Western Canada’s resource strength into durable value for its customers, employees, communities, and investors.
The Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB") is one of the world’s most prolific hydrocarbon regions and continues to experience production growth driven by dynamic new catalysts. The development of LNG export facilities, including Pembina and the Haisla Nation's Cedar LNG Project, continues to unlock new global markets for Canadian natural gas, creating long-term demand and incentivizing production growth. New pipeline capacity improves crude oil egress and drives the need for incremental condensate production. Expanding petrochemical facilities in
Supporting this growth outlook, Pembina has observed a shift in tone from government policy makers that could positively impact how the Canadian energy industry evolves. At both the federal and provincial level, there is momentum building towards reshaping Canada’s energy strategy in a way that could unlock its abundant and diverse energy resources. Recent policy signals and regulatory initiatives demonstrate a renewed commitment to supporting responsible energy infrastructure development, recognizing the vital role Canadian energy plays in global supply security and economic prosperity.
Pembina stands at the heart of the WCSB and is responding to growing production and an evolving energy landscape with a clear and focused strategy - to provide safe, reliable, responsible, and cost-effective energy infrastructure solutions that connect producers to high value global markets.
Pembina is the only Canadian energy infrastructure company with an integrated value chain providing a full suite of midstream and transportation services across all commodities - natural gas, NGL (ethane, propane and butane), condensate, and crude oil. Pembina's scope, scale, and access to premium North American and global markets, differentiate the Company and uniquely position it to capture incremental new volumes in the WCSB, while unlocking new avenues for sustainable growth beyond its strong legacy businesses.
Further, Pembina's approach to capital allocation remains disciplined, targeting investments that enhance long‑term fee‑based cash flow per share growth and support a sustainable and growing dividend. The Company is focused on ensuring the long-term resilience of the business and providing investors with visibility to attractive long‑term fee‑based EBITDA per share growth through the end of the decade and beyond.
2025 Accomplishments
-
Strong Financial and Operational Results: adjusted EBITDA of
, within the Company's original 2025 guidance range; achieved record Pipelines and Facilities volumes of 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.$4.3 billion
- Safety & Environment: strong execution with Pembina exceeding its internal 2025 targets, highlighted by improved performance across key safety and environmental indicators relative to 3-year averages.
-
Pipeline Contracting Success Supports Long-Term Resilience: renewed existing contracts, and executed incremental new contracts, totaling over 200,000 bpd of conventional pipeline transportation capacity; significantly strengthened Alliance's long-term contractual profile as shippers elected a new 10-year toll option on approximately 96 percent of available capacity; and contracted the remaining capacity available on the 100,000 bpd Nipisi Pipeline, which was reactivated in 2023 to serve the growing
Clearwater heavy oil play.
-
Responding to Growing Demand for Condensate and NGL Transportation: progressed development of a multi-year plan that includes up to approximately
of potential conventional pipeline expansions to reliably and cost-effectively meet rising transportation demands from growing production in the WCSB.$1 billion
-
Enhanced Propane Exports: Through a new 30,000 bpd LPG export agreement with AltaGas at its West Coast terminals, and the sanctioning of the Prince Rupert Terminal Optimization project, Pembina ensured access to 50,000 bpd of highly competitive propane export capacity to premium price markets, including in
Asia , for Pembina's own and customers’ propane.
-
Cedar LNG Construction and Commercial Execution: advanced construction of the floating LNG vessel to over 35 percent complete; significantly progressed onshore construction activities; and completed remarketing of Pembina's 1.5 mtpa of Cedar LNG capacity with PETRONAS, an LNG industry leader, and Ovintiv, one of the largest, liquids-rich natural gas producers in
Canada's Montney play. The Cedar LNG contracting resulted in a 10 percent increase in Pembina's expected base adjusted EBITDA contribution from the Cedar LNG project, providing a higher base level of secured cash flow and incremental upside participation without commodity downside risk.
-
Greenlight Electricity Centre: Pembina and its partner, Kineticor, made significant progress in the development of the Greenlight Electricity Centre ("Greenlight"), including securing a 907 MW power grid allocation, which was subsequently assigned to a potential customer of Greenlight, completing a land sale agreement with the potential customer, and ensuring the availability and delivery timing of two turbines to support the approximately 900 MW first phase of Greenlight. Greenlight represents an extension of Pembina’s existing value chain and an opportunity to enhance growth by investing in long-term contracted infrastructure with an investment grade counterparty, while diversifying its customer base, and would create incremental demand for natural gas and associated liquids production within western
Canada .
Business Updates
-
In service of growing condensate and NGL volumes from northeast
British Columbia andAlberta , that are anticipated to ramp up through the end of the decade, Pembina and its subsidiaries1 are proceeding with two conventional pipeline expansions totalling .$425 million
The Birch-to-Taylor Expansion includes a new 95-kilometre pipeline and facility upgrades that will add approximately 120,000 bpd of propane-plus and condensate capacity in that corridor. Pembina2 has obtained all necessary permits to begin preliminary construction activities. The project has an estimated cost of approximately , and an anticipated in-service date in the fourth quarter of 2027. The expansion will be supported by a cost-of-service commercial structure.$310 million
"This milestone reflects strong collaboration with both Indigenous and local communities built on trust and open engagement," said Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer. "It also reflects strong engagement with the Government ofBritish Columbia and the BC Energy Regulator, whose guidance and regulatory oversight have helped establish a clear and responsible path forward for this project and for sustainable development in the region in the future."
Pembina is also proceeding with a phased approach to theTaylor -to-Gordondale Expansion, which is being optimized to meet customers' near-term transportation needs while maintaining Pembina's track record of disciplined capital investment.
Pembina3 has sanctioned the initial scope of theTaylor -to-Gordondale Expansion, which includes new and upgraded pump stations downstream ofTaylor, British Columbia and a new 16-kilometre pipeline connecting production inAlberta to the Gordondale pump station. The initial scope of the project has an estimated cost of approximately , with an anticipated in-service date in the first quarter of 2027, subject to regulatory approval. The expansion will be supported by long-term take-or-pay and other commercial agreements.$115 million
The remaining scope of theTaylor -to-Gordondale Expansion includes a new approximately 89 kilometer, 16-inch pipeline being proposed by Pembina4 to connect mostly condensate volumes fromTaylor, British Columbia to the Gordondale,Alberta area. On February 10, 2026, the Canada Energy Regulator ("CER") issued a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the CER regulatedTaylor -to-Gordondale Pipeline Project. This was the final federal regulatory approval required for the pipeline. Pembina will continue to evaluate the incremental scope in conjunction with the timing of customers’ egress requirements.
These two newly sanctioned expansions are in addition to the previously announced$200 million Fox Creek -to-Namao Expansion, which will add approximately 70,000 bpd of propane-plus market delivery capacity to theFox Creek, Alberta toNamao, Alberta segment of the Peace Pipeline System. In total, Pembina has now recently sanctioned more than of conventional pipeline projects in response to anticipated volume growth in the WCSB.$600 million
- In the first quarter of 2026, Pembina and PGI entered into long-term, take-or-pay agreements with Tourmaline Oil ("Tourmaline") that include renewals of 270 mmcf/d of gas processing at PGI's Cutbank Complex and Resthaven Facility, as well as transportation on the Peace Pipeline, and fractionation at the Redwater Complex.
- PGI has begun commissioning the Wapiti Expansion and K3 Cogeneration Facility. Both projects are expected to be placed in service by the end of the first quarter of 2026. The Wapiti Expansion is on time and on budget, and will increases natural gas processing capacity at the Wapiti Plant by 115 mmcf/d (gross to PGI). The K3 Cogeneration Facility is on time and trending under budget, and will reduce overall operating costs by providing power and heat to the gas processing facility, while reducing customers' exposure to power prices.
-
On January 29, Dow Inc. ("Dow") reaffirmed that it will proceed with its Path2Zero project, a new integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives facility in
Fort Saskatchewan , which Dow stated is a unique opportunity and an advantaged, first-quartile global asset. Further, Dow provided a revised timeline that includes a Phase 1 start-up by year-end 2029, and a Phase 2 start-up by year-end 2030.
As part of Dow's broader portfolio of assets and ethane supply requirements, the Path2Zero project supports Pembina's previously announced long-term agreement with Dow to supply up to 50,000 bpd of ethane. Pembina continues to evaluate its options to invest in new infrastructure required to meet its ethane supply commitments in the most capital efficient manner, given the revised Path2Zero timing. A final investment decision on new ethane supply infrastructure is expected in 2026.
Path2Zero is a positive development for WCSB producers as it will catalyze significant new ethane demand, the extraction of which is expected to also increase the supply of other associated NGL - propane, butane and condensate. The resulting volume growth across the WCSB is expected to benefit Pembina by supporting higher utilization and potential expansions of its assets.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as earnings before net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (included in gross profit and general and administrative expense), and unrealized gains or losses from derivative instruments. The exclusion of unrealized gains or losses from derivative instruments eliminates the non-cash impact of such gains or losses.
Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments to earnings for non-controlling interest, losses (gains) on disposal of assets, transaction costs incurred in respect of acquisitions, dispositions and restructuring, impairment charges or reversals in respect of goodwill, intangible assets, investments in equity accounted investees and property, plant and equipment, certain non-cash provisions and other amounts not reflective of ongoing operations. These additional adjustments are made to exclude various non-cash and other items that are not reflective of ongoing operations. Following completion of Pembina acquiring a controlling ownership interest in Alliance and Aux Sable on April 1, 2024, Pembina revised the definition of adjusted EBITDA to deduct earnings for the 14.6 percent non-controlling interest in the Aux Sable
Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of Pembina's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities and equity accounted investees. Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of operating income generated from capital expenditures, which includes operational finance income and gains from lessor lease arrangements. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing Pembina, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. Management utilizes adjusted EBITDA to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's success. Pembina presents adjusted EBITDA as management believes it is a measure frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the Company's financial performance. The most directly comparable financial measure to adjusted EBITDA that is specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP and disclosed in Pembina's financial statements is earnings.

Adjusted EBITDA from Equity Accounted Investees
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's joint ventures are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are presented net in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, "Investments in Equity Accounted Investees". Earnings from investments in equity accounted investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income "Share of Profit from Equity Accounted Investees". The adjustments made to earnings, in adjusted EBITDA above, are also made to share of profit from investments in equity accounted investees. Cash contributions and distributions from investments in equity accounted investees represent Pembina's share paid and received in the period to and from the investments in equity accounted investees.
To assist in understanding and evaluating the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with non-GAAP proportionate consolidation of Pembina's interest in the investments in equity accounted investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in equity accounted investees has been included in adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities per Common Share
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a non-GAAP measure which is defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusting for the change in non-cash operating working capital, adjusting for current tax and share-based compensation payments, and deducting distributions to non-controlling interests and preferred share dividends paid. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities deducts distributions to non-controlling interest and preferred share dividends paid because they are not attributable to common shareholders. The calculation has been modified to exclude current tax expense and accrued share-based payment expense, and to include the impact of cash paid for taxes and share-based compensation, as it allows management to better assess the obligations discussed below.
Management believes that adjusted cash flow from operating activities provides comparable information to investors for assessing financial performance during each reporting period. Management utilizes adjusted cash flow from operating activities to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's ability to meet interest obligations, dividend payments and other commitments. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share is a non-GAAP financial ratio which is calculated by dividing adjusted cash flow from operating activities by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Following completion of Pembina acquiring a controlling ownership interest in Alliance and Aux Sable on April 1, 2024, Pembina revised the definition of adjusted cash flow from operating activities to deduct distributions related to non-controlling interest in the Aux Sable
