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 transition and lower-carbon energy, and our approach thereto; environmental, social, governance and 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, including the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions of three US gas utilities (US Gas Utilities) from Dominion Energy, Inc. (the Acquisitions); expected future actions of regulators and courts, 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 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; our ability to successfully integrate the US Gas Utilities; expected closing of acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions and the timing thereof; toll and rate cases discussions and proceedings and anticipated outcomes, timelines and impacts therefrom, including those relating to the Gas Transmission and Gas Distribution and Storage 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 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 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, including the Acquisitions; 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
4
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 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 (including the anticipated benefits from the Acquisitions); 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 insurance in the future at commercially reasonable rates and terms; political decisions; global geopolitical 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, Enbridge assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement 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 United States of America (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, 2024. 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, 2024. 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
Income Tax Disclosures
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09 was issued in December 2023 to improve income tax disclosures by requiring specified categories in the annual rate reconciliation that meet quantitative thresholds and further disaggregation on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective January 1, 2025 and should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application being permitted. The effects of the new standard on the presentation of our income tax note disclosures will be reflected in our December 31, 2025 annual consolidated financial statements.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
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. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2027 and on our interim disclosures beginning in 2028.

3. REVENUE
Change in Revenue Classification
To better align the classification of revenues resulting from our acquisitions of the United States (US) Gas Utilities (Note 6), we have made adjustments to Gas distribution sales and Transportation and other services revenues. Revenues generated from customers who procure their own gas but use our distribution system for delivery to the end use location have been reclassified to Gas distribution sales revenue from Transportation and other services revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and reclassified to Gas distribution sales from Transportation revenue in the Revenue from Contracts with Customers tables below. Our prior period comparable results have been recast to reflect the change in revenue classification. This change did not have an impact on our Total operating revenues.

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 has 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. Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period were $
Performance Obligations
There were no material revenues recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 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 is $
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 excluded from the amounts above due to the uncertainty of the associated consideration, which is generally resolved when actual volumes and prices are determined. For example, we consider interruptible transportation service revenues to be variable revenues since volumes cannot be estimated. Additionally, the effect of escalation on certain tolls which are contractually escalated for inflation has not been reflected in the amounts above as it is not possible to reliably estimate future inflation rates. Revenues for periods extending beyond the current rate settlement term for regulated contracts where the tolls are periodically reset by the regulator are excluded from the amounts above since future tolls remain unknown. Finally, 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
BASIC
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
DILUTED
The treasury stock method is used 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.
Weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:

6. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
We accounted for each of the acquisitions discussed below 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.
The fair values of regulatory assets and liabilities, which are subject to rate-setting and cost recovery mechanisms under ASC 980 Regulated Operations, are equal to their carrying values at acquisition. The recognition of regulatory assets and liabilities is based on the actions, or expected future actions, of the regulator. To the extent that the regulator's actions differ from our expectations, the timing and amount of recovery or settlement of regulatory balances could differ significantly from those recorded at acquisition.
Questar Gas Company
On May 31, 2024, through a wholly-owned US subsidiary, we acquired all of the membership interests of Fall West Holdco LLC which owns

Upon completion of the EOG Acquisition, we began consolidating EOG. For the period beginning March 6, 2024 through to June 30, 2024, EOG generated $

10. 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.
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, cash flows and OCI 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
27
Our earnings and cash flows 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 credit exposure 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, US and Canadian treasury bills, and investments in exchange-traded funds held by our captive insurance subsidiaries. We also have restricted long-term investments in exchange-traded funds and common shares held in trust in accordance with the regulatory requirements of the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) under the Land Matters Consultation Initiative (LMCI) and to cover future pipeline decommissioning costs in the state of Minnesota.
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.
33
We have also categorized the fair value of our long-term debt, investments in debt securities held by our captive insurance subsidiaries, 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.
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.

Net Investment Hedges
We currently have designated a portion of our US dollar-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment in US dollar-denominated investments and subsidiaries.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized unrealized foreign exchange gains of $
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
Certain long-term investments in other entities with no actively quoted prices are classified as Fair Value Measurement Alternative (FVMA) investments and are recorded at cost less impairment. The carrying value of FVMA investments totaled $
We have restricted long-term investments and cash held in trust for the purpose of funding pipeline abandonment in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements under the LMCI, to cover future pipeline decommissioning costs in the state of Minnesota and to satisfy retirement obligations as Wexpro properties are abandoned. These investments are classified as available-for-sale, recognized at fair value and included in Restricted long-term investments and cash in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As at June 30, 2025, the fair value of investments in Level 1 and Level 2 was $

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities other than derivative instruments, certain long-term investments in other entities, restricted long-term investments, investments held by our captive insurance subsidiaries and long-term debt described above approximate their carrying value due to the short period to maturity.
11. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were
The period-over-period decreases in the effective income tax rates were primarily due to higher US investment tax credits, lower US minimum tax, the prior year write-down of non-deductible goodwill on the Gas Transmission segment, partially offset by the prior year tax benefits relating to the state apportionment income tax rate change due to the Acquisitions (Note 6) and the non-taxable portion of the gain on the disposition of Alliance Pipeline and Aux Sable (Note 6) relative to the increase in earnings over the comparative periods.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions. As the legislation was enacted after the reporting period, the financial results for the period ended June 30, 2025, do not reflect the impact of this new law. We do not expect the changes from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to have a material impact on our consolidated financial results.

13. 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.
TAX MATTERS
We and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, if challenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.
INSURANCE
We maintain an insurance program for us, our subsidiaries and certain of our affiliates to mitigate a certain portion of our risks. However, not all potential risks arising from our operations are insurable or are insured by us as a result of availability, high premiums and for various other reasons. We self-insure a significant portion of certain risks through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries, which requires certain assumptions and management judgments 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 insurance coverage is also subject to terms and conditions, exclusions and large deductibles or self-insured retentions which may reduce or eliminate coverage in certain circumstances.
Our insurance policies are generally renewed on an annual basis and, depending on factors such as market conditions, the premiums, terms, policy limits and/or deductibles can vary substantially. We can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates or on other terms we consider commercially reasonable. In such cases, we may decide to self-insure additional risks.
In the unlikely event multiple insurable incidents occur which exceed coverage limits within the same insurance period, the total insurance coverage will be allocated among entities on an equitable basis based on an insurance 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, 2024.
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
NONCONTROLLING INTEREST INVESTMENT
BC Pipeline System
On July 2, 2025, Stonlasec8 Indigenous Alliance Limited Partnership (the First Nations Partnership), an entity representing 38 First Nations in British Columbia (BC), invested approximately $736 million in our Westcoast Energy Inc. BC natural gas pipeline system, resulting in the First Nations Partnership owning a 12.5% interest in that system.
Subsequent to the First Nations Partnership's investment, we will hold an 87.5% controlling interest in these assets, which are included in our Gas Transmission segment, and continue to manage and operate the pipeline system.
GAS TRANSMISSION RATE PROCEEDINGS
Algonquin

GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE RATE APPLICATIONS
Enbridge Gas Ontario
In October 2022, Enbridge Gas Inc. (Enbridge Gas Ontario) filed its application with the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to establish a 2024 through 2028 Incentive Regulation (IR) rate setting framework. The application initially sought approval in two phases to establish 2024 base rates (Phase 1) on a cost-of-service basis and to establish a price cap incentive rate-setting (Price Cap IR) mechanism (Phase 2) to be used for the remainder of the IR term (2025–2028). A third phase (Phase 3) was established with the OEB in 2023. Phase 3 addresses cost allocation and the harmonization of rates and rate classes and is anticipated to be completed in 2025.
In December 2023, the OEB issued its Decision and Order on Phase 1 (Phase 1 Decision). Enbridge Gas Ontario initiated various appeals of select aspects of the Phase 1 Decision, including a review motion with the OEB that concluded in April 2025 with the OEB denying its motion to vary the Phase 1 Decision which disallowed recoverability of certain undepreciated capital. Enbridge Gas Ontario continues to pursue appeal and judicial review applications to the Ontario Divisional Court that challenge some of the OEB’s Phase 1 findings with respect to depreciation, equity thickness and undepreciated capital. These proceedings are at the stage of written submissions and no hearing dates have been scheduled yet.
In November 2024, the OEB issued its Decision approving the Phase 2 Partial Settlement Proposal (Phase 2 Settlement). The Phase 2 Settlement establishes a Price Cap IR mechanism to be used for determining rates for 2025-2028. The Price Cap IR mechanism includes the continuation and establishment of certain deferral and variance accounts, as well as an earnings sharing mechanism that requires Enbridge Gas Ontario to share equally with customers any earnings in excess of 100 basis points over the allowed return on equity (ROE), and 90% of any earnings in excess of 300 basis points over the allowed ROE. Issues not addressed as part of the Phase 2 Settlement proceeded to hearing in December 2024 and the OEB rendered its Decision in May 2025. Rates effective January 1, 2025 were set using the Price Cap IR mechanism.
In March 2025, the OEB released its decision in the Generic Cost of Capital proceeding. The OEB determined that Enbridge Gas Ontario's equity thickness would remain at 38% as approved in the Phase 1 Decision. The OEB also revised the formula for calculating ROE by reducing flotation costs by 25 basis points. The new formula will be applicable to Enbridge Gas Ontario at its next rebasing expected in 2029. Until then, rates will continue to reflect the embedded 2024 ROE formula value of 9.21%.
Enbridge Gas Ohio
In October 2023, Enbridge Gas Ohio filed its first rates application with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (Ohio Commission) since 2007 proposing a base rate annual revenue increase (compared to current rates) of US$212 million, to be effective January 2025. The base rate increase was proposed to recover the significant investment in distribution infrastructure for the benefit of Ohio customers, including an ROE of 10.40%. The application was subsequently amended to reduce the annual revenue increase from US$212 million to US$60 million.
41
In June 2025, the Ohio Commission issued an order approving an annual revenue decrease (compared to current rates) of US$26.3 million, including an ROE of 9.79%, an increase to the equity thickness to 51.9%, and the continuation of the Pipeline Infrastructure Replacement and Capital Expenditure Programs. The order also resulted in disallowances of $330 million (US$240 million) including regulatory assets related to pension balances of $280 million (US$204 million) and other disallowances of $50 million (US$36 million) and the subsequent impairments recognized for the period ended June 30, 2025.
In July 2025, Enbridge Gas Ohio filed an application for rehearing regarding certain aspects of the order and continues to assess legal options.
Enbridge Gas North Carolina
On April 1, 2025, Enbridge Gas North Carolina filed its first rates application since 2021 with the North Carolina Utilities Commission. This rate case aims to reflect the costs of delivering natural gas to customers and recover investments in infrastructure to support service reliability and customer growth. Enbridge Gas North Carolina is proposing a 12% increase to its residential natural gas rates.
Enbridge Gas Utah
On May 1, 2025, Enbridge Gas Utah filed its first rates application since 2022 with the Utah Public Service Commission. This rate case aims to reflect the costs of delivering natural gas to customers and recover investments in infrastructure to support service reliability and customer growth. Enbridge Gas Utah is proposing a 9.5% increase to its residential natural gas rates.
FINANCING UPDATE
On February 25, 2025, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. redeemed below par all of the outstanding $100 million 4.10% medium-term notes that carried an original maturity date in July 2112.
In February 2025, we closed a five-tranche offering consisting of three-year floating medium-term notes, three-year medium-term notes, five-year medium-term notes, 10-year medium-term notes and re-opened existing 30-year medium-term notes for an aggregate principal amount of $2.8 billion, which mature in February 2028, February 2028, February 2030, February 2035, and August 2054, respectively.
In June 2025, Enbridge Gas Ohio closed a two-tranche offering consisting of 10-year senior notes and 30-year senior notes for an aggregate principal amount of US$500 million, which mature in June 2035 and June 2055, respectively.
In June 2025, we closed a four-tranche offering consisting of three-year senior notes, five-year senior notes, 10-year senior notes and re-opened existing 30-year senior notes for an aggregate principal of US$2.3 billion, which mature in June 2028, June 2030, June 2035 and April 2054, respectively.
In July 2025, we renewed approximately $8.8 billion of our 364-day extendible credit facilities, extending the maturity dates to July 2027, which includes a one-year term out provision from July 2026. We also renewed approximately $7.8 billion of our five-year credit facilities, extending the maturity dates to July 2030. Further, we extended the maturity dates of our three-year credit facilities to July 2028.
In July 2025, Enbridge Gas Ontario and Enbridge Pipelines Inc. extended the maturity dates of their $2.5 billion and $2.0 billion 364-day extendible credit facilities, respectively, to July 2027, which includes a one-year term out provision from July 2026.
On July 28, 2025, Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (EEP) redeemed at par all of the outstanding US$500 million 5.88% senior notes that carried an original maturity date in October 2025.
These financing activities, in combination with the financing activities executed in 2024, provide significant liquidity that we expect will enable us to fund our current portfolio of capital projects and other operating working capital requirements without requiring access to the capital markets for the next 12 months, should market access be restricted or pricing be unattractive. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources.
42
As at June 30, 2025, after adjusting for the impact of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap hedges, approximately 7% of our total debt is exposed to floating rates. Refer to Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 10. Risk Management and Financial Instruments for more information on our interest rate hedging program.

EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS
Three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2024
Earnings attributable to common shareholders were positively impacted by $159 million due to certain infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by the following:
43
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 factors above, the remaining $170 million increase in earnings attributable to common shareholders is primarily explained by:
The factors above were partially offset by:

RENEWABLE POWER GENERATION
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, fund debt retirements and pay common and preference share dividends. We target to maintain sufficient liquidity through securement of committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and financial institutions to enable us to fund all anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets.
We have signed capital obligation contracts for the purchase of services, pipe and other materials totaling approximately $3.1 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 ensure access to capital markets, subject to market conditions, through maintenance of shelf prospectuses that allow for issuances of long-term debt, equity and other forms of long-term capital when market conditions are attractive.
51
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 June 30, 2025:

In July 2025, we renewed approximately $8.8 billion of our 364-day extendible credit facilities, extending the maturity dates to July 2027, which includes a one-year term out provision from July 2026. We also renewed approximately $7.8 billion of our five-year credit facilities, extending the maturity dates to July 2030. Further, we extended the maturity dates of our three-year credit facilities to July 2028.
In July 2025, Enbridge Gas Ontario and Enbridge Pipelines Inc. extended the maturity dates of their $2.5 billion and $2.0 billion 364-day extendible credit facilities, respectively, to July 2027, which includes a one-year term out provision from July 2026.
In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $1.5 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $932 million was unutilized as at June 30, 2025. As at December 31, 2024, we had $1.4 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $931 million was unutilized.
As at June 30, 2025, our net available liquidity totaled $12.7 billion (December 31, 2024 - $14.4 billion), consisting of available credit facilities of $11.5 billion (December 31, 2024 - $12.6 billion) and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 billion (December 31, 2024 - $1.8 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 June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all such debt covenant provisions.

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.
There are no material restrictions on our cash. Total restricted cash of $83 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had negative working capital positions of $577 million and $2.9 billion, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the major contributing factor to the negative working capital position was due to settlement of current liabilities, while during the year ended December 31, 2024, the major contributing factor to the negative working capital position was the current liabilities associated with our growth capital program.

Significant sources and uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 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 decrease in cash used in investing activities period-over-period was primarily due to the acquisitions of EOG, Questar and Tomorrow RNG in 2024; partially offset by the absence of proceeds received from the disposition of our interests in the Alliance Pipeline, Aux Sable and NRGreen in 2024 and higher capital expenditures in 2025.
54
Financing Activities
Cash used in 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, share redemptions and common share repurchases under our normal course issuer bid. Cash used in financing activities is also impacted by changes in distributions to, and contributions from, noncontrolling interests. Factors impacting the increase in cash used in financing activities period-over-period primarily include:
The factors above were partially offset by net draws of short-term borrowings in 2025 when compared to net repayments during the same period in 2024.
SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On January 22, 2019, Enbridge entered into supplemental indentures with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Spectra Energy Partners, LP (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. 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 senior 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.
57
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
MICHIGAN LINE 5 DUAL PIPELINES - STRAITS OF MACKINAC EASEMENT
Michigan Attorney General Lawsuit
In 2019, the Michigan Attorney General initiated legal action in the Michigan Ingham County Circuit Court (Michigan Circuit Court) seeking to invalidate the 1953 easement that authorizes the operation of Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac. The Attorney General’s case was later moved to U.S. federal court in December 2021, following a November 16, 2021 ruling which held that the similar (and now dismissed) 2020 lawsuit brought by the Governor of Michigan to force the shutdown of Line 5 raised important federal issues that should be heard in federal court.
In June 2024, the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (Sixth Circuit) ruled that the case should proceed in state court. Enbridge’s request for a rehearing was denied in August 2024. Oral argument on long-standing cross motions for summary disposition was held in January 2025 in the Michigan Circuit Court. We anticipate a decision on the motions for summary disposition in 2025.
Separately, in January 2025, Enbridge petitioned the US Supreme Court to review the Sixth Circuit’s decision. The Court granted the petition in June 2025 and is expected to hear the case in late 2025, with a decision anticipated in the first half of 2026. In the interim, Enbridge requested that the Michigan Circuit Court pause proceedings pending the US Supreme Court’s ruling.
In parallel, the US Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) announced in April 2025 that the Line 5 Tunnel Project qualifies for review under emergency and special processing procedures, potentially expediting federal permitting.
Enbridge Lawsuit
On November 24, 2020, Enbridge filed in the US District Court a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief, seeking to prevent the Governor of Michigan and Director of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (Michigan State Officials) from interfering with the continued operation of Line 5. The Government of Canada has reiterated its support for the pipeline, emphasizing the relevance of the 1977 Transit Pipelines Treaty and the matter’s importance to Canada. The case remains in federal court.
58
In January 2022, Michigan State Officials moved to dismiss the case, while Enbridge filed for summary judgment. On July 5, 2024, the US District Court denied the state’s motion to dismiss, prompting an immediate appeal to the Sixth Circuit. The US District Court stayed the case pending the outcome of the appeal.
On April 23, 2025, the Sixth Circuit affirmed the US District Court’s ruling and a petition for rehearing en banc was denied on June 16, 2025. On June 24, 2025, the case was administratively transferred back to the US District Court and Michigan State Officials filed their Answer to Enbridge’s complaint.
A case management order was issued on July 14, 2025, setting out a briefing schedule for Enbridge’s summary judgment motion and the state’s motion to abstain. Briefing is expected to conclude by September 22, 2025.
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 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 on December 13, 2023, and a final EIS is expected in 2025. DAPL remains operational during this process.
Separately, on October 15, 2024, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed a new complaint in the District Court seeking to permanently enjoin DAPL’s operation, alleging 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. The Tribe filed a notice of appeal on May 27, 2025. The appeal process is expected to take 6-12 months.
OTHER LITIGATION
We and our subsidiaries are subject to various other 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 consolidated financial position or results of operations.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Refer to Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 2. Changes in Accounting Policies.
59
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk is described in Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We believe our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since then.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed with, or submitted to, securities regulatory authorities, including under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under Canadian and US securities law. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as at June 30, 2025, and based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file with or submit to the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated changes in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 and found no change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
60
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. 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 consolidated financial position or results of operations. Refer to Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Legal and Other Updates for discussion of certain legal proceedings with recent developments.
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.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our financial condition or future results. There have been no material modifications to those risk factors, other than as set forth below.
The effects of US, Canadian and other governments' policies on tariffs and trade relations remain uncertain and could significantly adversely impact our business, operations or financial results.
The announcement and imposition of tariffs by the US, together with potential, announced or implemented retaliatory tariffs by other governments on imports from the US, and other potential measures, including duties, fees, economic sanctions or other trade measures, as well as the potential impacts of these tariffs and trade measures, present significant risks to our business operations and financial results. Tariffs announced by the US (which are in addition to any pre-existing tariffs) include, among others:
61
Several of the US tariff announcements have been followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses on implementation dates. In response to the US tariff announcements, certain governments have threatened or announced retaliatory measures against the US, including increased tariffs on US goods. For instance, effective March 13, 2025, the Canadian federal government imposed 25% tariffs on a list of products imported from the US. These announcements have led to significant uncertainty and market volatility during the first half of 2025. If maintained, such trade measures, the nature, extent and timing of which are uncertain, and the potential for escalation of trade disputes, including retaliatory measures, could lead to, among other things, worsening of macroeconomic conditions, inflationary pressures, increased construction costs, costs to maintain our assets and other costs and expenses, as well as potential reductions in demand for Canadian energy. The measures also introduce uncertainty in North American energy and capital markets and have the potential to disrupt supply chains and access to capital markets and jeopardize our competitiveness. The US Government has also stated its interest in renegotiating and altering the USMCA, which could further impact the energy market and our business.
Any of the foregoing could significantly adversely impact our business, operations or financial results.
