CEO COMMENT
Greg Ebel, President and CEO commented the following:
"Energy demand continues to grow in North America and beyond. Throughout North America, we have an abundant supply of natural resources. Enbridge is the only company with a large incumbent footprint positioned to deliver gas, liquids and renewable power to customers across the continent and to new markets. Our 'all-of-the-above' approach enables us to capitalize on growing demand for all forms of energy, providing first-choice service for customers both today and in the future.
"During the quarter, high utilization across our systems resulted in record Q3 EBITDA, and we're well set up to achieve our financial guidance for the 20th consecutive year. We also sanctioned $3 billion of attractive projects, leveraging our footprint, scale and diversification.
"In Liquids, we reached a positive final investment decision on the Southern Illinois Connector project, which is backed by 100 kbpd of long-term contracts for full-path service from Western Canada to Nederland, Texas. The project includes a 30 kbpd expansion of Express-Platte and 56 miles of new pipe that connects Wood River to Patoka, Illinois, as well as utilization of 70 kbpd of existing capacity on Spearhead Pipeline. Looking ahead, we are also advancing another 400 kbpd of expansion opportunities to add incremental Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin egress to key North American refining markets. Mainline Optimization Phase 1, which will add 150 kbpd, is in the final stages of customer negotiations and we expect to make an announcement this quarter. The team is also actively advancing Mainline Optimization Phase 2. Utilizing the existing Mainline system, in combination with the Dakota Access Pipeline([1]) , Mainline Optimization Phase 2 would add another 250 kbpd of incremental full-path capacity before the end of the decade. Enbridge will continue to provide quick-cycle, capital efficient expansions to support our customers' growth.
"In Gas Transmission, we sanctioned $2 billion of investment across our footprint to support growing natural gas, power, and LNG demand. Following two successful gas storage open seasons, we are proceeding with a 7 bcf expansion of Moss Bluff and a 16 bcf expansion of Egan. Upon completion, these projects will further enhance Enbridge's storage presence which already provides critical flexibility for the tightening U.S. Gulf Coast gas market. We are also expanding the Canyon System offshore pipeline project that was previously announced to support bp's Kaskida development, tying to bp's recently sanctioned Tiber development. Earlier in the quarter, we announced the AGT Enhancement, which is expected to deliver approximately 75 Mmcf/d of incremental natural gas under long-term contracts to the U.S. Northeast. This US$0.3 billion project is designed to increase reliable supply and improve affordability by reducing winter price volatility for customers. Finally, through our Matterhorn joint venture, we reached a final investment decision on the Eiger Express Pipeline, an up to 2.5 bcf/d pipeline from the Permian Basin to the Katy, Texas area to serve the growing U.S. Gulf Coast LNG market.
"In Gas Distribution, we completed our first full year of ownership of the three U.S. gas utilities acquired in 2024. We remain very pleased with their performance and have now completed rate cases in all three major jurisdictions. During the third quarter, Enbridge Gas North Carolina and Enbridge Gas Utah both reached positive rate settlements, and new rates are effective November 1, 2025, and expected to be effective January 1, 2026, respectively. As data center investment continues to accelerate, we see more avenues for growth in our utility franchise than originally anticipated. Our Gas Distribution teams are now advancing more than $4 billion of data center and power generation opportunities across 60 different projects to serve our customers' growing energy needs through the end of the decade.
"In Renewable Power, we have more than 1.4 GW of solar projects expected to enter service through 2027. Enbridge will continue to invest opportunistically, providing power to a growing list of technology and data center players that include Meta and Amazon. We are continuing to monitor the policy environment, but don't expect any of our sanctioned or late-stage development projects to be impacted by legislative changes to renewable tax credits.
"All four of our premier franchises continue to deliver strong results and generate new growth opportunities, reinforcing our ability to win in multiple ways. Year-to-date, Enbridge has added approximately $7 billion to its secured project backlog. We now have $35 billion of sanctioned growth capital entering service through 2030, as we continue to add visibility to our post-2026 5% annual growth outlook for EBITDA, EPS and DCF/share. Looking ahead, we remain committed to disciplined capital allocation, protecting the balance sheet and growing our dividend. We believe that our formula of steady cash flow growth and annual dividend increases will continue to drive strong shareholder returns and positions Enbridge as a first-choice investment."

Appendices.
GAAP earnings attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2025 decreased by $0.6 billion, or $0.29 per share, compared with the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to non-cash, unrealized changes in the value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity price risks as well as the quarterly operating performance factors discussed below.
The period-over-period comparability of GAAP earnings attributable to common shareholders is impacted by certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors which are noted in the reconciliation schedule included in Appendix A of this news release. Refer to the Company's Management's Discussion & Analysis for Q3 2025 filed in conjunction with the quarter-end financial statements for a detailed discussion of GAAP financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2025 increased by $0.1 billion compared with the same period in 2024. This was due primarily to contributions from the acquisition of Enbridge Gas North Carolina in the fourth quarter of 2024, favorable contracting and rate case settlements on U.S. Gas Transmission assets, and placing Texas Eastern Venice Extension in service. These factors were partially offset by lower contributions from the Liquids Pipelines Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent segment.
Adjusted earnings in the third quarter of 2025 decreased by $0.2 billion, or $0.09 per share, compared with the same period in 2024, due to EBITDA factors discussed above offset by higher financing costs and depreciation expense from the acquisition of Enbridge Gas North Carolina and other capital investments.
DCF for the third quarter of 2025 was comparable with the same period in 2024, primarily due to EBITDA factors discussed above, offset by higher financing costs.
Detailed financial information and analysis can be found below under Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
The Company reaffirms its 2025 financial guidance for adjusted EBITDA between $19.4 billion and $20.0 billion and DCF per share between $5.50 and $5.90.
The Company also reaffirms its financial outlook presented at its Investor Day on March 4, 2025;
-- 2023 to 2026 near-term growth of 7-9% for adjusted EBITDA, 4-6% for
adjusted earnings per share (EPS) and approximately 3% for DCF per share;
and
-- Post 2026; adjusted EBITDA, EPS and DCF per share are all expected to
grow by approximately 5% annually.
Enbridge does not expect tariffs to have a material impact on our current operations or deployment of capital, though the Company will continue to monitor developments.
FINANCING UPDATE
In September 2025, Enbridge Inc. completed a $1.0 billion offering consisting of 30-year hybrid subordinated notes. Proceeds from this offering were used to pay down existing indebtedness, fund capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.
In September 2025, Enbridge Gas Inc. completed an $800 million medium-term note offering consisting of $500 million of 10-year notes and $300 million of 30-year notes. Proceeds from these offerings were used to refinance maturing debt at Enbridge Gas Inc.
The Company's rolling 12 month Debt-to-EBITDA metric at the end of the quarter was 4.8x.
SECURED GROWTH PROJECT EXECUTION UPDATE
Enbridge added approximately $3 billion of new projects to its secured growth backlog this quarter:
-- Southern Illinois Connector; US$0.5B -- Canyon System Pipelines; US$0.3B -- USGC Storage Growth Program; US$0.5B -- AGT Enhancement; US$0.3B -- Pelican CO2 Hub; US$0.3B -- Eiger Express Pipeline
The secured growth backlog now sits at approximately $35 billion. Financing of the secured growth program is expected to be provided through the Company's anticipated $9-10 billion of annual growth capital investment capacity.
THIRD QUARTER BUSINESS UPDATES
Liquids Pipelines: Southern Illinois Connector
Enbridge has sanctioned the construction of the Southern Illinois Connector, connecting the Platte Pipeline to our jointly owned Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline (ETCOP). Once complete, the project will offer 100 kbpd of long-haul, contracted service to shippers, including 30 kbpd of incremental egress out of the WCSB via an expansion on Express-Platte and utilizing 70 kbpd of existing capacity on Spearhead Pipeline. A new 24-inch pipeline will connect 56 miles from Wood River, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois, offering service to Nederland, Texas in the Gulf Coast and will be 50% jointly owned with Energy Transfer. In addition, new pump stations will add incremental capacity to the Platte system. The 100 kbpd is secured under long-term take-or-pay agreements with investment grade customers. The project is expected to cost US$0.5 billion and enter service in 2028.
Liquids Pipelines: Pelican CO(2) Hub
Enbridge has entered into a definitive agreement with a subsidiary of Oxy to design, construct and operate a 2.3 MTPA CO(2) transportation and sequestration hub in the Louisiana Mississippi River corridor. The transaction has been structured as a 50/50 joint venture, with Enbridge managing the pipeline and Oxy managing the sequestration portions of the CO(2) Hub. The project is supported by a 25-year take-or-pay offtake agreement with an investment grade counterparty. Enbridge expects its share of the project to cost approximately US$0.3 billion, and enter service in 2029.
Gas Transmission: Tiber Offshore Extension to Canyon Pipelines
Enbridge has expanded its Canyon System Pipelines project to serve bp's Tiber offshore production facility in the U.S. Gulf Coast. This project will include both crude oil and natural gas pipeline extensions and is underpinned by long-term contracts. The Canyon Systems Pipelines project was previously sanctioned to support bp's Kaskida offshore development and now includes 24/26" oil pipeline which will connect to Shell Pipeline Company LP's Green Canyon 19 Platform and a 12" gas pipeline connecting to Enbridge's existing Magnolia Gas Gathering Pipeline for both Tiber and Kaskida. The project extension is expected to cost US$0.43 billion, bringing the combined system cost to US$1.0 billion, and enter service in 2029.
Gas Transmission: USGC Storage Growth Program
Enbridge has sanctioned the expansion of two natural gas storage facilities in the US Gulf Coast to support the growing power demand and LNG market. Egan Storage will be expanded over two phases, with the first 8 Bcf phase expected to enter service in 2030. Construction will involve the addition of nearby caverns, adding 16 Bcf of total capacity by 2033. Enbridge has also sanctioned an expansion of Moss Bluff Storage, which is expected to increase storage capability by 7 Bcf and enter service in 2028. Together, these expansions will offer vital storage capacity to Gulf Coast LNG and power generation facilities during periods of high demand. The total cost of both projects is expected to be US$0.5 billion.
Gas Transmission: Eiger Express Pipeline
Enbridge announced it would participate in the construction of the Eiger Express Pipeline via its interest in the Matterhorn joint venture. Eiger is an up to 2.5 Bcf/d pipeline from the Permian Basin to the Katy area and will serve the growing U.S. Gulf Coast LNG market. The project is complementary to the Whistler JV assets and is backed by long-term contracts with predominantly investment grade counterparties. The project is expected to enter service in 2028.
Gas Transmission: AGT Enhancement
Enbridge has sanctioned the Algonquin Gas Transmission Reliable Affordable Resilient Enhancement project (AGT Enhancement), which will deliver approximately 75 Mmcf/d of incremental natural gas to the U.S. Northeast under long-term contracts with investment-grade counterparties. The expanded system will enhance supply reliability and improve affordability by reducing winter price volatility for customers. The project is expected to cost US$0.3 billion and enter service in 2029.
Gas Distribution & Storage: Enbridge Gas North Carolina Rate Settlement
Enbridge has filed a joint stipulated settlement on the Enbridge Gas North Carolina rate case and is pending approval from the North Carolina Utilities Commission. Interim rates were approved and effective November 1, 2025. As a result of the settlement, return on equity increased from 9.60% to 9.65% and equity thickness increased from 52% to 54% resulting in an increase to the annual revenue requirement of $34 million.
Gas Distribution & Storage: Enbridge Gas Utah Rate Settlement
Enbridge has filed a settlement on the Enbridge Gas Utah rate case, increasing the annual revenue requirement by $62 million. A decision on the filing is expected from the Public Service Commission of Utah before the end of the year with new rates expected to take effect on January 1, 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA for Enbridge Gas Ontario, Enbridge Gas Utah and Enbridge Gas North Carolina typically follows a seasonal profile. EBITDA is generally highest in the first and fourth quarters of the year. Seasonal profiles for Enbridge Gas Ontario, Enbridge Gas Utah and Enbridge Gas North Carolina reflect greater volumetric demand during the heating season and the magnitude of the seasonal adjusted EBITDA fluctuations will vary from year-to-year in Ontario reflecting the impact of colder or warmer than normal weather on distribution volumes. Enbridge Gas Ohio's earnings are largely decoupled from volumes and less impacted by weather fluctuations. Enbridge Gas Utah and Enbridge Gas North Carolina have revenue decoupling mechanisms that are not impacted by weather or gas volume variability, but revenues are shaped to align with the seasonal usage profile. Enbridge Gas Ontario revenue is affected by weather variability.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter increased $38 million compared with the third quarter of 2024 primarily related to:
-- full-quarter contributions from the acquisition of Enbridge Gas North
Carolina; and
-- increased revenue requirement from contributions from capital investments
at Enbridge Gas Ohio.
When compared with the normal forecast embedded in rates, the impact of weather to Adjusted EBITDA for Enbridge Gas Ontario was negligible in both the third quarter of 2025 and the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted earnings decreased $197 million and adjusted earnings per share decreased by $0.09 when compared with the third quarter in 2024 primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA driven by operational factors discussed above, offset by:
-- higher depreciation and amortization related to recently acquired and
in-service assets;
-- higher debt principal, resulting in higher interest expense; and
-- higher non-controlling interests related to the sale of interest in
the Westcoast system.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Forward-looking information, or forward-looking statements, have been included in this news release to provide information about Enbridge and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including management's assessment of Enbridge and its 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 our strategic priorities and enablers; 2025 financial guidance and near term outlook, including projected DCF per share, EPS and adjusted EBITDA and expected growth thereof; expected dividends, dividend growth and payout policy; 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; industry and market conditions; anticipated utilization of our assets; expected EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA; expected earnings/(loss) and adjusted earnings/(loss); expected DCF and DCF per share; expected future cash flows; expected shareholder returns and asset returns; expected performance of Enbridge's businesses; financial strength, capacity and flexibility; financing costs and plans;
expectations on leverage, including Debt-to EBITDA ratio; expectations on sources of liquidity and sufficiency of financial resources; expected costs, benefits and in-service dates related to announced projects and projects under construction; investable capacity and capital allocation priorities; impact of weather and seasonality; expected future growth, development and expansion opportunities, including with respect to the Southern Illinois Connector, Canyon System Pipelines expansion, USGC Storage Growth Program, AGT Enhancement and Pelican CO(2) Hub; the characteristics, anticipated benefits, financing and timing of our acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions, including the Acquisitions; government trade policies, as well as possible impacts of potential and announced tariffs, duties, fees, economic sanctions, or other trade measures and the timing thereof; expected future actions and decisions of regulators and courts and the timing and impact thereof; and toll and rate case discussions and proceedings and anticipated outcomes, timelines and impacts therefrom, including those relating to the Gas Distribution and Storage business.
Although Enbridge believes 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 assumptions about 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 labour and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; operational reliability and performance; maintenance of support and regulatory approvals for our projects and transactions; anticipated in-service dates; weather; the timing, terms and closing of announced and potential acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions and projects and the anticipated benefits thereof; governmental legislation; litigation; credit ratings; capital project funding; hedging program; expected EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA; expected earnings/ (loss) and adjusted earnings/(loss); expected earnings/(loss) or adjusted earnings/(loss) per share; expected future cash flows; expected future DCF and DCF per share; estimated future dividends; financial strength and flexibility; debt and equity market conditions; and general economic and competitive conditions. 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 labour and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; the effects of inflation and foreign exchange rates on labour and material costs; the effects of interest rates on borrowing costs; the impact of weather; and customer, government, court and regulatory approvals on construction and in-service schedules and cost recovery regimes.
Enbridge's forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the successful execution of our strategic priorities; operating performance; legislative and regulatory parameters and decisions; litigation; acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions and the realization of anticipated benefits therefrom, including the Acquisitions; evolving government trade policies, including potential and announced tariffs, duties, fees, economic sanctions or other trade measures; operational dependence on third parties; project approval and support; renewals of rights-of-way; weather; economic and competitive conditions; global geopolitical conditions; political decisions; public opinion; dividend policy; changes in tax laws and tax rates; exchange rates; interest rates; inflation; commodity prices; access to and cost of capital; our ability to maintain adequate insurance in the future at commercially reasonable rates and terms; and supply of, demand for, and prices of commodities and other alternative energy, including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this news release and in Enbridge's other filings with Canadian and U.S. 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, Enbridge assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this news release 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 RECONCILIATIONS APPENDICES
This news release contains references to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per common share (EPS) and DCF per share. Management believes the presentation of these metrics gives useful information to investors and shareholders, as they provide increased transparency and insight into the performance of the Company.
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors on both a consolidated and segmented basis. Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to set targets and to assess the performance of the Company and its business units.
Adjusted earnings represent earnings attributable to common shareholders adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors included in adjusted EBITDA, as well as adjustments for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors in respect of depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests on a consolidated basis. Management uses adjusted earnings as another measure of the Company's ability to generate earnings and uses EPS to assess performance of the Company.
DCF is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities before the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities (including changes in environmental liabilities) less distributions to noncontrolling interests, preference share dividends and maintenance capital expenditures and further adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors. Management also uses DCF to assess the performance of the Company and to set its dividend payout target.
This news release also contains references to Debt-to-EBITDA, a non-GAAP ratio which utilizes adjusted EBITDA as one of its components. Debt-to-EBITDA is used as a liquidity measure to indicate the amount of adjusted earnings to pay debt, as calculated on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), before covering interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios to comparable GAAP measures are not available due to the challenges and impracticability of estimating certain items, particularly certain contingent liabilities and non-cash unrealized derivative fair value losses and gains subject to market variability. Because of those challenges, a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios is not available without unreasonable effort.
Our non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios described above are not measures that have standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not U.S. GAAP measures. Therefore, these measures may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.
The tables below provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures.
