Enbridge Q3 earnings rise to C$1.29B in 2026
Commodity sales were C$14.851 billion in the quarter, while nine-month earnings attributable to common shareholders totaled C$4.355 billion.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Enbridge Inc. (ENB) reported third-quarter operating revenue of C$21.077 billion, versus C$14.639 billion a year earlier, and earnings attributable to common shareholders of C$1.288 billion, versus C$682 million. Commodity sales were C$14.851 billion, compared with C$8.396 billion; transportation and other services were C$4.888 billion, compared with C$4.940 billion.
For the first nine months, revenue was C$72.752 billion versus C$48.017 billion, while earnings attributable to common shareholders were C$4.355 billion versus C$5.120 billion. Operating cash flow was C$9.156 billion, compared with C$9.159 billion, and capital expenditures were C$8.856 billion versus C$5.944 billion.
On October 9, 2026, Enbridge acquired all membership interests in FS Crude for approximately C$892 million (US$625 million); its systems include approximately 500 miles of crude-oil gathering infrastructure. A public offering that closed September 14, 2026, issued 44,735,000 shares at C$66.85 per share for C$3.0 billion in gross proceeds, used partly to fund the acquisition. KKR, with funds and affiliates managed by Apollo, invested C$729 million for Westcoast Expansion Class II units; KKR also committed approximately C$2.0 billion to fund the Aspen Point and Sunrise expansion programs.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Forward-looking information, or forward-looking statements, have been included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to provide information about us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, including management’s assessment of our and our subsidiaries’ future plans and operations. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "intend", "likely", "plan", "project", "target" and similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. Forward-looking information or statements included or incorporated by reference in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the following: our corporate vision and strategy, including strategic priorities and enablers; expected supply of, demand for, exports of and prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL), liquefied natural gas (LNG), renewable natural gas (RNG) and renewable energy; energy evolution and lower-carbon energy, and our approach thereto; our sustainability goals, practices and performance; industry and market conditions; anticipated utilization of our assets; dividend growth and payout policy; financial strength and flexibility; expectations on sources of liquidity and sufficiency of financial resources; expected strategic priorities and performance of the Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission, Gas Distribution and Storage, and Renewable Power Generation businesses; the characteristics, anticipated benefits, financing and timing of our acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions; expected future actions of regulators and courts; government trade policies and potential impacts of potential and announced tariffs, duties, fees, economic sanctions, or other trade measures and the timing thereof; expected costs, benefits and in-service dates related to announced projects and projects under construction; expected capital expenditures; investable capacity and capital allocation priorities; expected equity funding requirements for our commercially secured growth program; expected future growth, development and expansion opportunities; expected optimization and efficiency opportunities; expectations about our joint venture partners' ability to complete and finance projects under construction; toll and rate case discussions and proceedings and anticipated timeline and impact therefrom, including those relating to the Gas Distribution and Storage and Gas Transmission businesses; operational, industry, regulatory, climate change and other risks associated with our businesses; and our assessment of the potential impact of the various risk factors identified herein.
Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the date such statements are made and processes used to prepare the information, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions include the following: the expected supply of, demand for, export of and prices of crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG, RNG and renewable energy; anticipated utilization of our assets; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; tariffs and trade policies; availability and price of labor and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; operational reliability; maintenance of support and regulatory approvals for our projects and transactions; anticipated in-service dates; weather; the timing, terms and closing of acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions; the realization of anticipated benefits of transactions; governmental legislation; litigation; estimated future dividends and impact of our dividend policy on our future cash flows; our credit ratings; capital project funding; hedging program; expected earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); expected earnings/(loss); expected future cash flows; and expected distributable cash flow. Assumptions regarding the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG, RNG and renewable energy, and the prices of these commodities, are material to and underlie all forward-looking statements, as they may impact current and future levels of demand for our services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation, interest rates and tariffs impact the economies and business environments in which we operate and may impact levels of demand for our services and cost of inputs and are therefore inherent in all forward-looking statements. The most relevant assumptions associated with forward-looking statements regarding announced projects and projects under construction, including estimated completion dates and expected capital expenditures, include the following: the availability and price of labor and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; the effects of inflation and foreign exchange rates on labor and material costs; the effects of interest rates on borrowing costs; the impact of
4
weather; and customer, government, court and regulatory approvals on construction and in-service schedules and cost recovery regimes.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the successful execution of our strategic priorities; operating performance; legislative and regulatory parameters; litigation; acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions and the realization of anticipated benefits therefrom; evolving government trade policies, including potential and announced tariffs, duties, fees, economic sanctions or other trade measures; operational dependence on third parties; dividend policy; project approval and support; renewals of rights-of-way; weather; economic and competitive conditions; public opinion; changes in tax laws and tax rates; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; commodity prices; access to and cost of capital; our ability to maintain adequate self-insurance in the future at commercially reasonable rates and terms; political decisions; global geopolitical conflicts and conditions; and the supply of, demand for and prices of commodities and other alternative energy, including but not limited to, those risks and uncertainties discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with Canadian and US securities regulators. The impact of any one assumption, risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent, and our future course of action depends on management’s assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q makes reference to non-GAAP and other financial measures, including EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Management uses EBITDA to assess performance of Enbridge and to set targets. Management believes the presentation of EBITDA gives useful information to investors as it provides increased transparency and insight into the performance of Enbridge.
The non-GAAP and other financial measures are not measures that have a standardized meaning prescribed by the accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) and are not US GAAP measures. Therefore, these measures may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of historical non-GAAP and other financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is set out in this MD&A and is available on our website. Additional information on non-GAAP and other financial measures may be found on our website, www.sedarplus.ca or www.sec.gov.

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 (US GAAP) and Regulation S-X for interim consolidated financial information. They do not include all 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, 2025. 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, 2025. 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 supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas and may not be indicative of annual results.
Certain comparative figures in our interim consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03 was issued in November 2024 to improve financial reporting by requiring entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The ASU requires entities to disclose 1) the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, (e) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities, (f) expense reimbursements included in a relevant expense caption, and (g) selling expenses, and 2) a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU 2024-03 is effective January 1, 2027, with interim period disclosure requirements effective after January 1, 2028, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The additional note disclosures will be included in our December 31, 2027 annual consolidated financial statements and in our interim financial statements beginning in 2028.

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.

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 fulfilled (or have partially fulfilled) 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 fulfilled. Contract liabilities primarily relate to make-up rights and deferred revenues. Revenues recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period were $
Performance Obligations
There were no material revenues recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.
Revenues to be Recognized from Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
Total revenues from performance obligations expected to be fulfilled in future periods are $
13
The revenues excluded from the amounts above based on optional exemptions available under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, as explained below, represent a significant portion of our overall revenues and revenues from contracts with customers. Certain revenues such as flow-through operating costs charged to shippers are recognized at the amount for which we have the right to invoice our customers and are excluded from the amounts for revenues to be recognized in the future from unfulfilled performance obligations above. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only when a significant reversal of cumulative revenue is not probable. 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, revenues 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
NUMERATOR
The numerator used in calculating both basic and diluted earnings per share equals Earnings attributable to common shareholders per the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, including the Redemption value adjustment attributable to Redeemable noncontrolling interests (NCI) per the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.
DENOMINATOR
The denominator of the basic earnings per common share calculation represents the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
16
The denominator of the diluted earnings per common share calculation uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive impact of stock options and share-settled RSUs. This method assumes any proceeds from the exercise of stock options and vesting of share-settled RSUs would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The basic weighted average shares outstanding are adjusted by this dilutive impact to derive the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:

6. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITIONS
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method as prescribed by ASC 805 Business Combinations. In accordance with valuation methodologies described in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement, acquired assets and assumed liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair values as at the date of acquisition.
Salt Creek Midstream Crude Acquisition
The purchase price for the Salt Creek Crude Acquisition was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at acquisition date. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of approximately $
FS Crude's property, plant and equipment constitute crude oil gathering systems, comprised of pipelines, a terminal, land and right-of-ways. The depreciated replacement cost approach was adopted as the primary valuation methodology to determine the fair value of property, plant and equipment. In determining replacement cost, both indirect costing using relevant inflation indices and direct costing using relevant market quotes were utilized.
The purchase price allocation for the Salt Creek Crude Acquisition was prepared on a preliminary basis and is subject to change as additional information becomes available regarding the fair values and tax bases of assets and liabilities acquired. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be made as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the date of acquisition.

REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST INVESTMENTS
Westcoast Expansion Financing Limited Partnership
On July 30, 2026, Westcoast Energy LP Inc. (WELP), our wholly-owned subsidiary, transferred certain of its non-participating Class C units in Westcoast Energy Limited Partnership (Westcoast LP) to a newly formed limited partnership, Westcoast Expansion Financing Limited Partnership (Westcoast Expansion), in exchange for Class I and Class II units. The remaining Class C units were retained by WELP to meet our obligations to Stonlasec8 Indigenous Investments Limited Partnership (the First Nations Partnership), an entity representing 38 First Nations in British Columbia (BC), under the Class C purchase option.
The Class C unitholders fund designated capital programs within Westcoast LP, which owns and operates our Westcoast Energy Inc. (Westcoast) BC Pipeline system. Westcoast Expansion has committed to invest in our Aspen Point and Sunrise Expansion Programs (the Expansions) in exchange for additional non-participating Class C units in Westcoast LP.

Following the transactions discussed above, we continue to manage and operate the BC Pipeline system through our ownership interest in Westcoast LP. Refer to Note 9 - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests.
7. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Our consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs) consist of legal entities of which we are the primary beneficiary. We are the primary beneficiary when our variable interest(s) provide(s) us with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: decision-making responsibilities, the VIE capital structure, risk and reward sharing, contractual agreements with the VIE, voting rights and level of involvement of other parties.
Westcoast Expansion Financing Limited Partnership
Westcoast Expansion is a BC limited partnership which holds an ownership interest in Westcoast LP for the purpose of funding construction costs associated with the Expansions. The limited partners, WELP and Tuscan Issuer Ltd. (an affiliate of KKR), hold
Westcoast Expansion is considered a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and its limited partners lack substantive participating rights and kick-out rights. In addition to having the obligation to absorb losses and the right to expected returns, we, through WELP's direct interests and the provisions of the limited partnership agreement, have the ability to direct the activities of Westcoast Expansion's principal operations, thereby making us the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Westcoast Expansion is a consolidated VIE of Enbridge.
The assets of Westcoast Expansion primarily consist of its investment in Westcoast LP, which eliminates upon Enbridge's consolidation. We did not provide any additional financial support to Westcoast Expansion during the period ended September 30, 2026.

Westcoast Expansion Financing Limited Partnership
In addition to funding the Expansions, Westcoast Expansion has committed to make contributions to Westcoast LP for capital costs for other than designated capital programs in exchange for Class B units. These contributions would be funded by WELP and KKR through additional investments in Westcoast Expansion in exchange for additional Class I and Class II units, respectively.
The Class II units entitle KKR to receive contingently required distributions if certain events occur, including delays in the Expansions commencing commercial operations, force majeure and regulatory disallowances. WELP may also repurchase KKR's Class II units under certain circumstances or during designated call periods, with the repurchase price determined in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement.
As a result of these contingently required distributions, we have classified KKR's Class II units as Redeemable NCI within the mezzanine equity section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As at September 30, 2026, the Redeemable NCI was recognized at its carrying value as redemption is not probable.

11. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
MARKET RISK
Our 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 (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.
23
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 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 US dollar-denominated investments and subsidiaries using US 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 have a policy of limiting the maximum floating rate debt to
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt that arise as a result of 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 fair value. Executed fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps have an average swap rate of
Our earnings, cash flows and OCI are also exposed to variability in longer term interest rates ahead of anticipated fixed rate term debt issuances. A combination of qualifying and non-qualifying forward starting interest rate swaps is used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have established a program including some of our subsidiaries to partially mitigate our exposure to long-term interest rate variability on forecasted term debt issuances via execution of floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings, cash flows and OCI are exposed to changes in commodity prices as a result of our ownership interests in certain assets and investments, as well as through the activities of our energy marketing subsidiaries. These commodities include natural gas, crude oil, power and natural gas liquids (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. For our US Gas Utilities, changes in derivatives' fair values are deferred as regulatory assets or liabilities until settlement. We use primarily non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk.
Equity Price Risk
Equity 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 the revaluation of outstanding units every period.
TOTAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
We have a policy of entering into individual International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) 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 in those circumstances.
The following tables summarize the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position location and carrying value of our derivative instruments, as well as the maximum potential settlement amounts, in the event of the specific circumstances described above.

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
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 the maintenance and monitoring of credit exposure limits, contractual requirements and netting arrangements. We also review counterparty financial strength using external credit rating services and other analytical tools to manage credit risk.
We have credit concentrations and credit exposure, with respect to derivative instruments, in the following counterparty segments:

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, the assessment of counterparty credit ratings and netting arrangements. Within the Gas Distribution and Storage segment, credit risk is mitigated by the utilities' large and diversified customer base and the ability to recover 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. Generally, we utilize a loss allowance 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 MEASUREMENTS
Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivatives and other financial instruments. We also disclose the fair value of other financial instruments not measured at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments reflects our best estimates of market value based on 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 INSTRUMENTS
We categorize our financial instruments measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement.
Level 1
Level 1 includes financial instruments measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. An active market for a financial instrument is considered to be a market where transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Under the fair value hierarchy, cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1. Our Level 1 instruments consist primarily of exchange-traded derivatives used to mitigate the risk of crude oil price fluctuations and US and Canadian treasury bills. We also hold restricted long-term investments in exchange-traded funds and common shares in trusts in accordance with the regulatory requirements of the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) under the Land Matters Consultation Initiative (LMCI), to cover future pipeline decommissioning costs in the state of Minnesota and to satisfy retirement obligations as Wexpro Company (Wexpro) properties are abandoned.
Level 2
Level 2 includes financial instrument valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Financial instruments in this category are valued using models or other industry standard valuation techniques derived from observable market data. Such valuation techniques include inputs such as quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors and broker quotes that can be observed or corroborated in the market for the entire duration of the financial instrument. Derivatives valued using Level 2 inputs include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over-the-counter foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts, interest rate swaps, physical forward commodity contracts, as well as commodity swaps and options for which observable inputs can be obtained.
We have also categorized the fair value of our long-term debt, investments in debt securities held by our captive insurance subsidiary, and restricted long-term investments in Canadian government bonds held in trust in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements under the LMCI as Level 2. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for instruments of similar credit risk and tenor. When possible, the fair value of our restricted long-term investments is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and, if not available, based on broker quotes.
29
Level 3
Level 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 derivative's 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 the 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, physical forward commodity contracts, as well as options. We do not have any other financial instruments categorized in Level 3.
We use the most observable inputs available to estimate the fair value of our derivatives. When possible, we estimate the fair value of our derivatives based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, we use estimates from third-party brokers. For non-exchange-traded derivatives classified in Levels 2 and 3, we use standard valuation techniques to calculate the estimated fair value. These methods include discounted cash flows for forwards and swaps and Black-Scholes-Merton pricing models for options. Depending on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying risk, we use observable market prices (interest, foreign exchange, commodity and share price) and volatility as primary inputs to these valuation techniques. 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.

14. CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
We and our subsidiaries are subject to various legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges 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 will not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial position or results of operations.
INSURANCE
Not all risks are insurable or are insured by us. For those risks that we do insure, the majority are self-insured through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, which requires certain assumptions and management judgment regarding the frequency and severity of claims, claim development and settlement practices and the selection of estimated loss among estimates derived using different methods. Our self-insurance coverage is also subject to terms and conditions, exclusions and large deductibles which may reduce or eliminate coverage in certain circumstances. Our self-insurance coverage is generally renewed annually and premiums, terms, policy limits and/or deductibles can vary substantially based on factors like market conditions.
We can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate self-insurance coverage in the future at rates or on other terms we consider commercially reasonable. In such a case, we may decide not to insure those risks.
In the unlikely event multiple insurable incidents occur which exceed coverage limits within the same insurance period, the total coverage will be allocated among entities on an equitable basis, based on an allocation agreement we have entered into with us and other subsidiaries.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on and should be read in conjunction with our interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
We continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer for purposes of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as determined annually as of the end of our second fiscal quarter. We intend to continue to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K with the United States (US) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers. We also intend to maintain our Form S-3 registration statements.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
ACQUISITIONS
Tallgrass Energy Crude Acquisition
On September 9, 2026, Enbridge announced that, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we entered into a definitive agreement with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tallgrass Energy, LP (Tallgrass) to acquire its crude oil business for total cash consideration of approximately $3.62 billion (US$2.55 billion), subject to customary closing adjustments (the Tallgrass Crude Acquisition). The business comprises a 75% interest in Pony Express Pipeline (Pony Express), a 51% interest in the Powder River Gateway system, approximately 8.4 million barrels of crude oil storage capacity across nine terminals and 100% of Stanchion Energy, a crude marketing business. The transaction includes the PXP2 growth project, an approximately $0.4 billion (US$0.3 billion) expansion of Pony Express expected to increase the system's transportation capacity. The PXP2 project is expected to enter service in 2027. The Tallgrass Crude Acquisition will expand our presence in the Bakken, Powder River and Denver-Julesburg basins through Cushing, Oklahoma, complementing our Express-Platte and Seaway pipeline systems. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
Salt Creek Midstream Crude Acquisition
On October 9, 2026, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we acquired from Salt Creek Midstream (Salt Creek) all of the membership interests of FS Crude Holdings, LLC (FS Crude) for total cash consideration of approximately $892 million (US$625 million) (the Salt Creek Crude Acquisition). FS Crude owns 100% of the Orla and Wink North systems and 50% of the Delaware Crossing system, which combined include approximately 500 miles of crude oil gathering infrastructure located in the Delaware Basin. The Salt Creek Crude Acquisition is expected to strengthen our crude oil value chain in the Permian Basin by providing a strategic connection between crude oil production and our Gray Oak and Cactus II Pipeline systems, as well as our Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center.
36
Wexpro Gas Supply Acquisition
On August 25, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Laramie Energy, LLC (Laramie) for cash consideration of approximately $689 million (US$485 million) plus up to approximately $92 million (US$65 million) in contingent payments. The acquisition will expand Wexpro's natural gas production platform and provide stable, cost-of-service natural gas supply for Enbridge Gas Utah. Upon closing, the transaction is expected to increase Wexpro's contribution to Enbridge Gas Utah's supply portfolio and support long-term customer affordability and reliability. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
NONCONTROLLING INTEREST INVESTMENT
BC Pipeline System
On September 3, 2026, KKR & Co. Inc. (KKR), in collaboration with funds and affiliates managed by Apollo, invested $729 million in Westcoast Expansion Financing Limited Partnership (Westcoast Expansion) in respect of expenditures previously funded by Westcoast Energy LP Inc. Westcoast Expansion holds an ownership interest in Westcoast Energy Limited Partnership, which owns and operates our Westcoast Energy Inc. British Columbia (BC) Pipeline system. In addition to the initial cash consideration, KKR has committed to contribute approximately $2.0 billion to fund the Aspen Point and Sunrise Expansion Programs.
Subsequent to this investment, we hold a controlling interest in these assets, which are included in our Gas Transmission segment, and continue to manage and operate the pipeline system. Upon the Sunrise Expansion Program entering service, KKR and Apollo are expected to hold a 29% indirect, cumulative interest in the BC Pipeline system.
GAS TRANSMISSION RATE PROCEEDINGS
East Tennessee
East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC (East Tennessee) filed a rate case on April 29, 2025 and a settlement in principle was reached with all active participants in April 2026. The settlement agreement was filed in May 2026 and approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on August 3, 2026 with rates effective retroactively to November 1, 2025.
BC Pipeline System
The 2022-2026 toll settlement agreement for our BC Pipeline system is expiring in December 2026. We anticipate a settlement will be finalized early in 2027. We expect to file interim tolls for our BC Pipeline system with the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) in the fourth quarter of 2026, with interim tolls effective January 1, 2027, pending regulatory approval.
GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE RATE APPLICATIONS
Enbridge Gas Ontario
In relation to Enbridge Gas Inc. (Enbridge Gas Ontario)'s application with the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to establish a 2024-2028 Incentive Regulation rate setting framework, undertaken in three phases, Enbridge Gas Ontario continues to appeal the OEB's Phase 1 findings on depreciation, equity thickness, and undepreciated capital through the Ontario courts. The Phase 1 judicial review and appeal hearing took place in the second quarter of 2026.
In March 2026, the OEB issued a decision approving the settlement proposal for Phase 3 of Enbridge Gas Ontario's application, which addressed cost allocation and the harmonization of rates, rate classes, and services. The remaining non-ratemaking Phase 3 matters were addressed through a written hearing process, with a decision expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
37
Enbridge Gas Ohio
In September 2026, Enbridge Gas Ohio filed a stipulation addressing the issues raised in its December 2025 rate case, which proposed a rate increase to recover Enbridge Gas Ohio's investment in distribution infrastructure and other costs to serve. The stipulation provides for a revised annual revenue increase of US$145 million, with a return on equity of 9.59% and equity thickness of 52.87%. The stipulation supports continued investment in the safety, reliability and modernization of our system. It also provides an increased contribution to the low-income energy assistance fund and contains multiple commitments to expand Enbridge Gas Ohio’s customer outreach and affordability support initiatives.
A decision on the filing is expected in or before the first quarter of 2027, with new rates expected to be effective on March 1, 2027.
FINANCING UPDATE
We completed long-term debt issuances totaling $3.0 billion and US$2.0 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources.
During our annual renewal process, we renewed and extended approximately $22.3 billion of our credit facilities with maturities ranging from 2027-2031.
On May 11, 2026, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (EPI) redeemed, at par, all of the outstanding $400 million 3.00% medium-term notes that carried an original maturity date in August 2026.
On June 16, 2026, we completed an exchange of all outstanding series of EPI medium term notes (EPI Notes) for an equal principal amount of newly issued medium term notes of Enbridge Inc. (Enbridge Notes), with financial terms identical to those of the EPI Notes (the Note Exchange Transaction) and which are unconditionally guaranteed by Spectra Energy Partners, LP (SEP) and Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P (EEP).
On September 14, 2026, we closed a public offering of 44,735,000 common shares of Enbridge at a price of $66.85 per share for gross proceeds of $3.0 billion. Net proceeds from the sale of common shares will be used to partially fund the Tallgrass Crude and Salt Creek Crude Acquisitions, with the remaining proceeds available to fund future growth opportunities. Refer to Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 6 - Acquisitions and Dispositions.
In October 2026, Public Service Company of North Carolina, Incorporated (Enbridge Gas North Carolina) closed a two-tranche offering consisting of ten-year and thirty-year senior notes for an aggregate principal amount of US$500 million which mature in October 2036 and October 2056, respectively.
These financing activities, in combination with the financing activities executed in 2025, are expected to provide sufficient liquidity to enable us to fund our current portfolio of capital projects and other operating working capital requirements through potential periods of extended market disruption without requiring access to the capital markets, should market access be restricted or pricing be unattractive. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources.

EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS
Three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2025
Earnings attributable to common shareholders were positively impacted by $529 million due to certain infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by:
The non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value gains and losses discussed above generally arise as a result of our comprehensive economic hedging program to mitigate foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity price risks. This program creates volatility in reported short-term earnings through the recognition of unrealized non-cash gains and losses on derivative instruments used to hedge these risks. Over the long-term, we believe our hedging program supports the reliable cash flows and dividend growth upon which our investor value proposition is based.

After taking into consideration the non-operating factors above, the remaining $77 million increase in earnings attributable to common shareholders is primarily explained by:

Eliminations and Other includes operating and administrative costs that are not allocated to business segments, and the impact of foreign exchange hedge settlements and the activities of our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. Eliminations and Other also includes our natural gas and power marketing businesses and the impact of new business development activities and corporate investments.

Three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2025
EBITDA was positively impacted by $457 million due to certain infrequent or non-operating factors, primarily explained by a non-cash, net unrealized gain of $84 million in 2026, compared with a net unrealized loss of $397 million in 2025, reflecting changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange and commodity price risks.
After taking into consideration the non-operating factor above, the remaining $29 million decrease in EBITDA is primarily explained by higher realized foreign exchange losses on hedge settlements in 2026.
Nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025
EBITDA was negatively impacted by $1.6 billion due to certain infrequent or non-operating factors, primarily explained by a non-cash, net unrealized loss of $528 million in 2026, compared with a net unrealized gain of $962 million in 2025, reflecting changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange and commodity price risks.
After taking into consideration the non-operating factor above, the remaining $163 million increase in EBITDA is primarily explained by lower realized foreign exchange losses on hedge settlements in 2026.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The maintenance of financial strength and flexibility is fundamental to our growth strategy, particularly in light of the significant number and size of capital projects currently secured or under development. Access to timely funding from capital markets could be limited by factors outside our control, including but not limited to, financial market volatility resulting from economic and political events both inside and outside North America. To mitigate such risks, we actively manage financial plans and strategies to help ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity to meet routine operating and future capital requirements.
In the near term, we generally expect to utilize cash from operations together with commercial paper issuances and/or credit facility draws and the proceeds of capital market offerings to fund liabilities as they become due, finance capital expenditures and acquisitions and fund debt retirements. We seek to maintain significant liquidity through access to committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and financial institutions to enable us to fund all anticipated requirements through periods of extended market disruptions without accessing the capital markets.
We have signed contracts committing to the purchase of services, pipe and other materials totaling approximately $5.7 billion, which are expected to be paid over the next five years.
Our financing plan is regularly updated to reflect evolving capital requirements and financial market conditions and identifies a variety of potential sources of debt and equity funding alternatives.
CAPITAL MARKET ACCESS
We enable access to capital markets, subject to market conditions, through maintenance of shelf prospectuses in the US and Canada that allow for issuances of long-term debt, equity and other forms of long-term capital when market conditions are attractive.
Credit Facilities and Liquidity
To ensure ongoing liquidity and to mitigate the risk of capital market disruption, we maintain access to funds through committed bank credit facilities and actively manage our bank funding sources to optimize pricing and other terms. The following table provides details of our committed credit facilities as at September 30, 2026:

In July 2026, we renewed our committed credit facilities. Refer to Financing Update.
In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $1.5 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $776 million was unutilized as at September 30, 2026. As at December 31, 2025, we had $1.6 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $932 million was unutilized.
47
As at September 30, 2026, our net available liquidity totaled $11.8 billion (December 31, 2025 - $10.8 billion), consisting of available credit facilities of $6.9 billion (December 31, 2025 - $9.7 billion) and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $4.9 billion (December 31, 2025 - $1.1 billion) as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Our credit facility agreements and term debt indentures include standard events of default and covenant provisions whereby accelerated repayment and/or termination of the agreements may result if we were to default on payment or violate certain covenants. As at September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all such debt covenant provisions.
LONG-TERM DEBT ISSUANCES

Cash flow growth, ready access to liquidity from diversified sources and a stable business model have enabled us to manage our credit profile. We actively monitor and manage key financial metrics with the objective of sustaining investment grade credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and ongoing access to bank funding and term debt capital on attractive terms. Key measures of financial strength that are closely managed include the ability to service debt obligations from operating cash flow and the ratio of debt to EBITDA.
48
There are no material restrictions on our cash. Total Restricted cash of $98 million, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, primarily includes reinsurance security, cash collateral, future pipeline abandonment costs collected and held in trust, amounts received in respect of specific shipper commitments and capital projects. Cash and cash equivalents held by certain subsidiaries may not be readily accessible for alternative uses by us.
Excluding current maturities of long-term debt, as at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had positive and negative working capital positions of $2.5 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. The positive working capital position at September 30, 2026 was primarily driven by the increase in cash associated with the partial pre-funding of the Tallgrass Crude and Salt Creek Crude Acquisitions, while the negative working capital position at December 31, 2025 was driven by current liabilities associated with our growth capital program.

Significant sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are summarized below:
Operating Activities
The primary factors impacting cash provided by operating activities period-over-period include changes in our operating assets and liabilities in the normal course due to various factors, including the impact of fluctuations in commodity prices and activity levels on working capital within our business segments, the timing of tax payments and cash receipts and payments generally. Cash provided by operating activities is also impacted by changes in earnings and certain infrequent or other non-operating factors, as discussed in Results of Operations, as well as Distributions from equity investments.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities includes capital expenditures to execute our capital program, which is further described in Growth Projects - Commercially Secured Projects. The timing of project approval, construction and in-service dates impacts the timing of cash requirements. Cash used in investing activities is also impacted by acquisitions, dispositions and changes in contributions to, and distributions from, our equity investments. The increase in cash used in investing activities period-over-period was primarily due to higher capital expenditures, partially offset by a decrease in contributions to equity investments.
49
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities primarily relates to issuances and repayments of external debt, as well as transactions with our common and preference shareholders relating to dividends, share issuances, and share redemptions. Cash provided by financing activities is also impacted by changes in distributions to, and contributions from, noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests. The increase in cash provided by financing activities period-over-period was primarily due to:
SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On January 22, 2019, Enbridge entered into supplemental indentures with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SEP and EEP (together, the Partnerships), pursuant to which Enbridge fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the payment obligations of the Partnerships with respect to the outstanding series of notes issued under the respective indentures of the Partnerships. Concurrently, the Partnerships entered into a subsidiary guarantee agreement pursuant to which they fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the outstanding series of senior notes of Enbridge. The Partnerships have also entered into supplemental indentures with Enbridge pursuant to which the Partnerships have issued full and unconditional guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis, of senior notes issued by Enbridge subsequent to January 22, 2019. On June 16, 2026, all outstanding series of EPI Notes were exchanged for an equal principal amount of newly issued Enbridge Notes, with financial terms identical to those of the EPI Notes and which are unconditionally guaranteed by the Partnerships. As a result of the guarantees, holders of any of the outstanding guaranteed notes of the Partnerships (the Guaranteed Partnership Notes) are in the same position with respect to the net assets, income and cash flows of Enbridge as holders of Enbridge's outstanding guaranteed notes (the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes), and vice versa. Other than the Partnerships, Enbridge subsidiaries (including the subsidiaries of the Partnerships, collectively, the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors), are not parties to the subsidiary guarantee agreement and have not otherwise guaranteed any of Enbridge's outstanding series of notes.

Under US bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee can be voided, or claims may be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee or, in some states, when payments become due under the guarantee:
The guarantees of the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes contain provisions to limit the maximum amount of liability that the Partnerships could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under the guarantee to be a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under US federal or state law.
Each of the Partnerships is entitled to a right of contribution from the other Partnership for 50% of all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Partnership in discharging its obligations under the guarantees for the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes.
52
Under the terms of the guarantee agreement and applicable supplemental indentures, the guarantees of either of the Partnerships of any Guaranteed Enbridge Notes will be unconditionally released and discharged automatically upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
The guarantee obligations of Enbridge will terminate with respect to any series of Guaranteed Partnership Notes if that series is discharged or defeased.
The Partnerships also guarantee the obligations of Enbridge under its existing credit facilities.
LEGAL AND OTHER UPDATES
LINE 5 EASEMENT (BAD RIVER BAND)
This is a federal lawsuit in the US District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (the Court) brought on July 23, 2019 by the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians of the Bad River Reservation (the Band) against Enbridge and certain of its pipeline subsidiaries. The case concerns Enbridge’s continued operation of Line 5 across the Bad River Reservation after certain easements expired in 2013.
The Band asserts claims in trespass and public nuisance and seeks ejectment (removal of the pipeline), along with monetary compensation for past and ongoing use of Reservation lands. Enbridge disputes the trespass finding, the availability of shutdown and removal remedies and asserts, among other things, that federal pipeline safety law preempts such relief, that continued operations do not present an imminent threat, and that treaty‑ and foreign‑affairs considerations limit the remedies available.
In September 2022, the Court issued summary‑judgment rulings that resolved several claims and determined that Enbridge was trespassing on certain Reservation parcels, while declining to order an immediate shutdown or removal of the pipeline. A bench trial was held in October 2022 on the remaining issues, including nuisance, injunctive relief, and the appropriate monetary remedy for trespass.
In June 2023, the Court issued a final order awarding US$5.1 million as compensation for past trespass, requiring ongoing quarterly payments while Line 5 operates without valid rights‑of‑way, imposing monitoring and shutdown requirements, and ordering Line 5 to cease operating on any parcel lacking a valid right‑of‑way by June 16, 2026.
Enbridge and the Band have filed a consolidated appeal and cross-appeal in the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Seventh Circuit) addressing liability and remedies. Upon request by the Seventh Circuit, the US Government filed a brief in the appeal as amicus curiae to address the effect of the 1977 Transit Pipelines Treaty. The Court stayed the shutdown order, which was to have taken effect in June 2026, pending the appellate decision.
53
On July 30, 2026, the Seventh Circuit issued its decision in this litigation. The Seventh Circuit confirmed that Enbridge is trespassing on the Bad River allotted parcels but rejected the Band's nuisance claim and an immediate shutdown of Line 5. The Seventh Circuit remanded the trespass damages and injunction issues back to the Court for further proceedings, directing it to recalculate any restitution and develop a remedy that provides Enbridge a reasonable opportunity to complete the Line 5 reroute around the Bad River Reservation. In overturning the Band's nuisance claim, the Seventh Circuit vacated the related monitoring and shutdown requirements, finding that pipeline safety matters fall within the jurisdiction of federal regulators under the Pipeline Safety Act.
On September 14, 2026, Enbridge filed a petition for rehearing to the Seventh Circuit, which was denied on September 30, 2026. The Court set a scheduling conference for December; we expect legal proceedings to continue through 2027.
DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE
We hold an effective 27.6% interest in the Bakken Pipeline System, which includes the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe filed lawsuits in 2016 with the US Court for the District of Columbia (the District Court) challenging the US Army Corps of Engineers' (the Army Corps) easement for DAPL, citing concerns over the adequacy of the Army Corps' environmental review and tribal consultation process. The Oglala Sioux and Yankton Sioux Tribes also filed lawsuits alleging similar claims in 2018. In 2017 and again in 2020, the District Court found deficiencies in the Army Corps’ environmental assessments and ordered the preparation of a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
In July 2020, the District Court vacated the easement and ordered the pipeline shut down, but that order was stayed by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. In January 2021, the US Court of Appeals upheld the requirement for an EIS and confirmed the easement’s vacatur, though it ruled that DAPL could continue operating absent an injunction. The US Supreme Court declined to review the case, and the Army Corps indicated it would not seek to halt operations during the review process.
On September 8, 2023, the Army Corps released a draft EIS evaluating five alternatives, including continued operation, shutdown, rerouting, and removal of the pipeline. No preferred alternative was identified. The public comment period closed in December 2023.
In December 2025, the Army Corps published the final EIS for DAPL. The final EIS includes an extensive analysis of spill risks from the pipeline, including the pipeline safety record of Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline. The final EIS identified continued operation of the existing pipeline with additional conditions as the preferred alternative. On May 21, 2026, the Army Corps issued the final Record of Decision. The final decision included the additional conditions set out in the preferred alternative, including groundwater monitoring and leak detection.
Separately, on October 15, 2024, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed a new complaint in the District Court seeking a permanent injunction against DAPL’s operation, alleging that the Army Corps is unlawfully allowing continued operations without a valid easement or compliant Facility Response Plan. Dakota Access, LLC and 13 states intervened in support of continued operations. On March 28, 2025, the District Court dismissed the complaint. On May 27, 2025, the Tribe filed a notice of appeal, which was dismissed on the Tribe’s own motion on June 23, 2026.
On October 8, 2026, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed a new complaint in District Court against the Army Corps and the PHMSA, seeking vacatur of the Army Corps and PHMSA approvals, and requesting the shutdown of DAPL. Unless extended, the Army Corps and PHMSA have 60 days to respond to the complaint.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.

SEC regulations require the disclosure of any proceeding under environmental laws to which a governmental authority is a party unless the registrant reasonably believes it will not result in monetary sanctions over a certain threshold. Given the size of our operations, we have elected to use a threshold of US$1 million for the purposes of determining proceedings requiring disclosure. We have no such proceedings to disclose in this quarterly report.
