Key Terms

comparable ebitda, non-gaap, take-or-pay, schedule 13g, +1 more

5 terms

comparable ebitda financial

"Strong asset availability and reliability drove a 13 per cent year-over-year increase in fourth quarter comparable EBITDA1"

Comparable EBITDA is a measure of a company’s underlying operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to remove one-time items or irregular costs so different periods or companies can be compared evenly. Investors use it like comparing the cleaned-up scores of two teams after removing unusual events — it helps judge ongoing performance and cash-generating ability without being misled by temporary gains or losses.

non-gaap financial

"Comparable EBITDA, comparable earnings and comparable earnings per common share are non-GAAP measures used throughout this news release."

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

take-or-pay financial

"With 98 per cent of comparable EBITDA underpinned by rate regulated or long-term take-or-pay contracts"

A take-or-pay clause is a contract term that requires a buyer to either take delivery of an agreed amount of a product or pay a penalty if they do not. For investors, it matters because it creates predictable revenue for the seller—like a subscription fee that must be paid whether fully used or not—reducing sales volatility but also introducing counterparty risk if the buyer’s ability to pay is uncertain.

schedule 13g regulatory

"filed a Schedule 13G reporting beneficial ownership of 53,294,607.28 common shares"

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.

form 40-f regulatory

"The company files annual reports under Form 40-F rather than Form 20-F"

A Form 40-F is a standardized annual filing used by certain Canadian companies that trade in U.S. markets to give U.S. regulators and investors the same core financial statements and key disclosures they file in Canada. Think of it as a translated, formally packaged annual report that lets investors in a different marketplace compare a company’s results, governance and risks more easily, which reduces uncertainty and helps investment decisions.

CEO Message
This was a defining year for TC Energy. Our 2025 performance demonstrates the strength of our strategy and reflects disciplined execution against a clear set of strategic priorities. During a period marked by heightened geopolitical risks, trade policy uncertainty and market volatility, our utility‑like, low‑risk business model continues to prove resilient. With 98 per cent of comparable EBITDA underpinned by rate regulated or long-term take-or-pay contracts, we maintain limited commodity exposure and strong visibility to stable, long-term cash flows. For the three months ending Dec. 31, 2025, comparable EBITDA increased approximately 13 per cent, and segmented earnings increased by approximately 15 per cent compared to the same period in 2024. For the twelve months ending Dec. 31, 2025, comparable EBITDA increased approximately nine per cent and segmented earnings increased by approximately one per cent compared to the same period in 2024.

Our financial results are directly enabled by our strongest safety performance in the last five years. This focus is driving exceptional performance from our operations and has allowed us to set 15 delivery records across our systems in 2025. In the fourth quarter 2025 and early 2026, record power demand from data centres, coal-to-gas conversions and LNG exports drove all-time delivery records across our U.S. and Canadian Natural Gas Pipeline Systems of 39.9 Bcf and 33.2 Bcf, respectively. The strong availability and reliability of our assets enable us to consistently meet incremental customer demand and underscores the value of our commitment to safety and operational excellence.

In 2025 we successfully placed $8.3 billion of projects into service on time, over 15 per cent under budget – demonstrating our ongoing commitment to project execution excellence. During the fourth quarter, we placed critical infrastructure projects into service, including the VR project on our Columbia system and the WR project on our ANR system in Wisconsin. Following our ninth consecutive year of fully contracted storage capacity, we added incremental value by placing the ANR Storage Optimization project into service. This enhancement expands our ability to respond to rising power generation demand in the U.S. Midwest, strengthening system flexibility and reinforcing the long‑term value of our storage portfolio. Looking ahead to 2026, we continue to expect to place approximately $4 billion of capital into service. This includes the Bison XPress Project on our Northern Border Pipeline, the remainder of the Valhalla North and Berland River Project on the NGTL System, as well as Bruce Power Unit 3 as part of the MCR program. Bruce Power’s consistent and strong track record of execution continue to position the asset to deliver stable, enduring value while meeting Ontario’s growing need for affordable, non-emitting, reliable power.

Strong results and consistent delivery on our capital program continue to strengthen our financial position and enhance our flexibility. We remain on track to deliver our long-term debt-to-EBITDA¹ target. We believe this continued discipline positions us to capture meaningful growth opportunities emerging from our differentiated exposure to the fastest growing segments of the energy market – natural gas and power. Our outlook for North American natural gas demand expects an increase of 45 Bcf/d to approximately 170 Bcf/d between 2025 and 2035, driven by LNG exports, rising power generation and increasing reliability needs from local distribution companies. Building on these favourable underlying fundamentals, we are advancing opportunities to deploy capital and unlock incremental value across our existing footprint.

As commercial discussions advance across a diverse set of high-quality opportunities, we remain confident in our ability in 2026 to fully allocate $6 billion of net annual capital expenditures through 2030 and have greater visibility to potentially surpass this level of investment in the latter part of the decade. We will remain disciplined in our capital allocation, targeting build multiples in the five to seven times range, and continue to de-risk these opportunities ahead of sanctioning. This further strengthens our conviction in announcing additional projects in 2026.

Reflecting the sustained increase in natural gas demand, in the fourth quarter we sanctioned $0.6 billion of in-corridor projects that strengthen the long-term visibility of our growth profile and exemplify our disciplined approach to capital allocation. Building on this progress, we are also advancing early-stage commercial initiatives supported by growing market interest. On Jan. 9, 2026, we successfully closed a non-binding expansion project open season on our Columbia Gas Transmission system for up to 0.5 Bcf/d of incremental capacity to serve the Columbus area, including New Albany. Robust demand from power‑load growth driven by data centres resulted in approximately 1.5 Bcf/d of total bids – three times the proposed project capacity – highlighting the strength of the market and the value of our strategic footprint. In addition, on Feb. 9, 2026, we launched a non-binding expansion project open season on our Crossroads Pipeline system for up to 1.5 Bcf/d of capacity. The potential Crossroads Expansion project would serve growing markets in Northern Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and South Dakota, in response to recently announced power generation and data centre developments in the U.S. Midwest. The open season is expected to close in mid-March 2026. These developments reinforce our visibility into durable, long-term value creation.

Through disciplined capital allocation and consistent project execution, TC Energy has built a differentiated portfolio supported by diversified, low-risk growth opportunities that extend through the end of the decade and beyond. As we turn to 2026, we will build on this momentum with the same discipline that delivered results in 2025. Our priorities remain unchanged: delivering solid growth, low risk and repeatable performance by maximizing the value of our assets through safety and operational excellence, executing our selective portfolio of growth projects, and ensuring financial strength and agility.

Non-GAAP and Supplementary Financial Measure
This release contains references to the following non-GAAP measures: comparable EBITDA, comparable earnings, comparable earnings per common share and comparable funds generated from operations. It also contains references to debt-to-EBITDA, a non-GAAP ratio, which is calculated using adjusted debt and adjusted comparable EBITDA, each of which are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. These non-GAAP measures are calculated by adjusting certain GAAP measures for specific items we believe are significant but not reflective of our underlying operations in the period. These comparable measures are calculated on a consistent basis from period to period and are adjusted for specific items in each period, as applicable except as otherwise described in the Condensed consolidated financial statements and MD&A. Refer to: (i) each business segment and the discontinued operations section for a reconciliation of comparable EBITDA to segmented earnings (losses); (ii) Consolidated results section and the discontinued operations section for reconciliations of comparable earnings and comparable earnings per common share to Net income attributable to common shares and Net income per common share, respectively; and (iii) Financial condition section for a reconciliation of comparable funds generated from operations to Net cash provided by operations. Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section of the MD&A in our most recent quarterly report for more information about the non-GAAP measures we use. The MD&A is included with, and forms part of, this release. The MD&A can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca under TC Energy's profile.

With respect to non-GAAP measures used in the calculation of debt-to-EBITDA, adjusted debt is defined as the sum of Reported total debt, including Notes payable, Long-term debt, Current portion of long-term debt and Junior subordinated notes, as reported on our Consolidated balance sheet as well as Operating lease liabilities recognized on our Consolidated balance sheet and 50 per cent of Preferred shares as reported on our Consolidated balance sheet due to the debt-like nature of their contractual and financial obligations, less Cash and cash equivalents as reported on our Consolidated balance sheet and 50 per cent of Junior subordinated notes as reported on our Consolidated balance sheet due to the equity-like nature of their contractual and financial obligations. Adjusted comparable EBITDA is calculated as the sum of comparable EBITDA from continuing operations and comparable EBITDA from discontinued operations excluding Operating lease costs recorded in Plant operating costs and other in our Consolidated statement of income and adjusted for Distributions received in excess of (income) loss from equity investments and a Loan from affiliate as reported in our Consolidated statement of cash flows which we believe is more reflective of the cash flows available to TC Energy to service our debt and other long-term commitments. Beginning in 2025, we entered into a subordinated demand revolving credit facility to borrow funds from the Sur de Texas joint venture and received proceeds totaling $111 million during the year. We believe that debt-to-EBITDA provides investors with useful information as it reflects our ability to service our debt and other long-term commitments. See the Reconciliation section for reconciliations of adjusted debt and adjusted comparable EBITDA for the years ended Dec. 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

This release contains references to build multiple, which is non-GAAP ratio which is calculated using capital expenditures and comparable EBITDA, of which comparable EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. We believe build multiple provides investors with a useful measure to evaluate capital projects.

This release also contains references to net capital expenditures, which is a supplementary financial measure. Net capital expenditures represent capital costs incurred for growth projects, maintenance capital expenditures, contributions to equity investments and projects under development, adjusted for the portion attributed to non-controlling interests in the entities we control. Net capital expenditures reflect capital costs incurred during the period, excluding the impact of timing of cash payments. We use net capital expenditures as a key measure in evaluating our performance in managing our capital spending activities in comparison to our capital plan.
