CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 7, 2007) - Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB):
Highlights
- Nine month earnings of $451.6 million increased from $444.3 million in the prior year
- Nine month adjusted operating earnings increased 4% to $437.9 million
- Third quarter earnings decreased 18% to $78.1 million; and adjusted operating earnings decreased 14% to $79.0 million
- Construction activities continue on Southern Access Expansion, Southern Lights Pipeline, Waupisoo Pipeline, the Line 4 Extension and Ontario Wind Project
- Enbridge entered an agreement to develop pipeline and terminal facilities for Phase 1 and subsequent phases of the Fort Hills oil sands project at a preliminary cost estimate for the initial facilities of $2 billion
"Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased from the prior year and met our expectations," said Patrick D. Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar and producer start-up delays on our Long Lake and Surmont lateral facilities, we expect to be within our previously communicated full year guidance of $1.75 to $1.85 adjusted operating earnings per share, most likely within the lower half of the range.
"The Company is well into the construction phase on many of the new pipeline projects which we have characterized as the first wave of growth. These pipelines are expected to come into service, and start generating positive cash flows, from mid-2008 through 2010. After that, we see another wave of potential pipeline projects, including the recently announced Fort Hills Pipeline, and we intend to work hard to win that business."
On November 6, 2007, the Enbridge Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.3075 per common share and $0.34375 per Series A Preferred Share. Both dividends are payable on December 1, 2007 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2007.
The Board of Directors announced the appointment of Catherine L. Williams as a director of the Company, effective November 1, 2007. Ms. Williams has extensive business and finance experience, most recently with Shell Canada Ltd., where she was Chief Financial Officer.

Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $78.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, or $0.22 per share, compared with $95.5 million, or $0.28 per share, in 2006. Earnings decreased primarily because of a lower contribution from Aux Sable, a natural gas liquids extraction and fractionation plant, as well as the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $451.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, or $1.27 per share, compared with $444.3 million, or $1.31 per share, in 2006. Earnings per share in 2007 reflected the dilutive effect of the issuance of 15 million common shares in February 2007. While earnings for the nine month period were consistent with the prior year, there were a number of offsetting factors.
Factors increasing earnings included:
- Colder than normal weather at Enbridge Gas Distribution (EGD) during 2007 compared with 2006, which was significantly warmer than normal.
- Receipt of insurance proceeds in Enbridge Offshore Pipelines (Offshore).
- A dilution gain from Enbridge Energy Partners' (EEP) issuance of partnership units in the second quarter of 2007.
Factors decreasing earnings included:
- Reductions in federal future income tax rates in the second quarter of both years. However, the reduction was higher in 2006 and therefore the benefit in 2006 was much larger.
- Aux Sable derivative losses in 2007 while 2006 was unhedged.
- Increased operating costs in the Enbridge and Athabasca Systems.
- The weakened U.S. dollar which reduced earnings by about $5.0 million in the third quarter, primarily in the Gas Pipelines segment and EEP.
Earnings from the Company's foreign currency denominated investments were lower in 2007 compared with 2006. These earnings are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars as well as Euro earnings from Compania Logistica de Hidrocarburos CLH, S.A. (CLH). To manage its foreign currency risk, the Company has entered into long-term derivative contracts to hedge the carrying values of these investments. These derivative contracts are accounted for as net investment hedges and, to the extent that they are effective in offsetting the impact of changes in exchange rates on the carrying values of these investments, the derivative contracts are revalued through other comprehensive income. Cash settlements on these derivative contracts are recognized through the balance sheet and do not impact earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company received foreign currency denominated cash distributions and settled associated hedge transactions resulting in a $12.5 million (2006 - $9.7 million) after-tax cash benefit related to hedging, which was not included in earnings.

Adjusted operating earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $13.3 million primarily due to a lower contribution from Aux Sable and the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.
The $17.4 million increase in adjusted operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was largely due to:
- Improved operating margins and customer growth at EGD.
- Lower interest expense in the Corporate segment.
- The Company's increased ownership interest in EEP.
- Stronger performance from Olympic and Spearhead pipelines.
These increases were partially offset by:
- Aux Sable derivative losses realized in earnings.
- Increased costs within the Enbridge and Athabasca Systems.
Non-GAAP Measures
This news release contains references to adjusted operating earnings, which represent earnings applicable to common shareholders adjusted for non-operating factors. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted operating earnings provides useful information to investors and shareholders as it provides increased predictive value. Management uses adjusted operating earnings to set targets and assess performance of the Company. Also, the Company's dividend payout target is based on adjusted operating earnings. Adjusted operating earnings is not a measure that has a standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and is not considered a GAAP measure. Therefore, this measure may not be comparable with a similar measure presented by other issuers.
Liquids Pipelines Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enbridge System 46.4 49.0 140.6 149.9 Athabasca System 10.8 14.0 37.4 40.1 Olympic Pipeline 2.5 2.2 7.7 4.8 Spearhead Pipeline 1.6 0.4 6.0 3.1 Feeder Pipelines and Other 1.1 2.5 5.4 5.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 62.4 68.1 197.1 203.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Enbridge System earnings decreased from the prior year due to the impact of a strong labour market on compensation expense, higher pipeline integrity costs and increased taxes in the Terrace component, partially offset by lower oil loss costs.
- Athabasca System earnings decreased from the prior year due to higher property taxes and the costs of minor leak remediation in 2007.
- Olympic Pipeline was acquired on February 1, 2006. Earnings for 2007 reflected a full nine months of operations as well as higher tolls in 2007 to compensate for under shipments in 2006. Olympic's cost of service tolling methodology requires annual toll adjustments for over or under collections in prior years.
- Spearhead Pipeline commenced operations in early March 2006. Earnings for 2007 reflected a full nine months of operations as well as increased throughput. The third quarter of 2006 reflected higher operating costs due to timing.
- Feeder Pipelines and Other earnings in the third quarter of 2007 were reduced by increased business development costs on projects in the early development stage.
Gas Pipelines Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alliance Pipeline US 6.6 7.8 21.4 22.3 Vector Pipeline 3.8 2.5 10.7 9.3 Enbridge Offshore Pipelines 1.5 4.8 18.9 15.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11.9 15.1 51.0 47.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Alliance Pipeline US earnings reflected the weaker U.S. dollar in the third quarter of 2007.
- Vector Pipeline earnings were higher in the third quarter of 2007 due to lower scheduled integrity costs, partly offset by the weaker U.S. dollar in 2007.
- Enbridge Offshore Pipelines earnings for the nine month period included $11.3 million of insurance proceeds for both property insurance recoveries and business interruption resulting from the 2005 hurricanes. The final insurance claim settlement is expected in late 2007 or early 2008.
- Enbridge Offshore Pipelines earnings also reflected the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, continuing repair and inspection costs and expected continuing natural production declines on deliveries to the pipelines in 2007. Start up issues experienced by producers on key production platforms, resulting from the effects of the extreme 2005 hurricane season, continue to delay new sources of volumes.
Sponsored Investments Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enbridge Energy Partners 12.2 12.1 32.6 31.5 Enbridge Income Fund (EIF) 9.2 9.8 28.5 27.8 Dilution gain in EEP - - 11.8 - Revalue future income taxes due to tax changes in EIF - - (0.3) 6.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21.4 21.9 72.6 65.3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- EEP's nine month 2007 earnings, after adjusting for unrealized derivative fair value losses, reflected the increase in Enbridge's ownership interest from 10.9% to 16.6% during the third quarter of 2006. EEP's earnings increased compared with the prior year as increased throughput on principal natural gas and liquids systems was partially offset by higher operating expenses. Nine month results were also negatively impacted by higher natural gas measurement losses and a processing plant temporary shutdown for maintenance, as well as the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar.
- EEP issued partnership units in the second quarter of 2007 and, because Enbridge did not fully participate, a dilution gain resulted and Enbridge's ownership interest decreased from 16.6% to 15.0%.
- In 2007, EIF recognized future taxes within entities that will become taxable in 2011 as a result of the enactment of Bill C-52 "The Tax Fairness Plan". This future tax increase was partially offset by the revaluation of future income tax obligations previously recorded as a result of tax rate reductions. The prior year included the impact of larger tax rate reductions.
Gas Distribution and Services Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enbridge Gas Distribution (29.5) (27.8) 74.3 25.4 Noverco (5.8) (3.9) 10.2 11.2 CustomerWorks/ECS 1.0 5.7 6.5 16.0 Enbridge Gas New Brunswick 3.1 2.8 9.0 7.1 Other Gas Distribution (0.9) (1.2) 5.2 4.1 Energy Services 3.8 (0.6) 4.3 3.1 Aux Sable 4.7 14.9 (3.5) 16.1 Other (1.1) (1.3) (1.4) (3.3) Revalue future income taxes due to tax rate changes - - 3.8 28.9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (24.7) (11.4) 108.4 108.6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- EGD's earnings improved from the prior year primarily due to the impact of colder weather. In 2006, weather was significantly warmer than normal, resulting in lower earnings, whereas in 2007 weather has been colder than normal. Earnings also increased because of customer growth and higher operating margins. The third quarter is seasonally warm and therefore fixed costs are typically not covered during this quarter, resulting in losses.
- CustomerWorks/ECS earnings decreased because, pursuant to an OEB recommendation, CustomerWorks transitioned customer care services related to EGD to a third party service provider.
- Energy Services earnings, after adjusting for unrealized fair value losses and gains on derivative instruments, were stronger in 2007 due to increased optimization of Enbridge assets, improved market fundamentals for crude oil and increased transportation and storage volumes, all at Tidal Energy. Energy Services includes Gas Services and Tidal Energy. Tidal Energy was included in Other in prior years.
- Aux Sable earnings, on a reported basis and after adjusting for unrealized fair value losses on derivative instruments, were lower than 2006 due to risk management activities. The Company has entered into derivative transactions to mitigate the uncertainty of the Company's share of the contingent upside sharing mechanism which allows Aux Sable to share in natural gas processing margins in excess of certain thresholds. These risk management strategies provide cash flow predictability which is important to the Company in this period of significant project financing. These derivative financial instruments target full year 2007 adjusted operating earnings of approximately $10 million, of which approximately $8.6 million were recorded during the nine month period. Aux Sable earnings were also negatively impacted by the weakened U.S. dollar in 2007.
International Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLH 15.3 14.5 46.5 42.5 OCENSA/CITCol 8.1 8.4 24.5 24.7 Other (0.8) (1.8) (2.4) (3.0) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22.6 21.1 68.6 64.2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- CLH earnings increased due to higher transportation tariffs, higher volumes and the impact of a stronger Euro.
- Other includes lower business development costs in 2007 due to a de-emphasizing of business development activities in the International segment.
Corporate Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 2006 2007 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corporate (15.5) (19.3) (46.1) (57.8) Revalue future income taxes due to tax rate changes - - - 14.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (15.5) (19.3) (46.1) (43.8) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Corporate costs, before the revalue of future income taxes due to tax rate changes, decreased primarily due to decreased interest expense resulting from lower levels of corporate debt during the first half of 2007. Debt was repaid from the proceeds of the $566.4 million issuance of equity on February 2, 2007. Interest expense in Corporate was also lower in the second and third quarters of 2007 because of higher interest capitalization related to projects under construction.

(3) Gas Distribution and Services volumes and the number of active customers are derived from the aggregate system supply and direct purchase gas supply arrangements. (4) Degree-day deficiency is a measure of coldness which is indicative of volumetric requirements of natural gas utilized for heating purposes. It is calculated by accumulating for each day in the period the total number of degrees each day by which the daily mean temperature falls below 18 degrees Celsius. The figures given are those accumulated in the Greater Toronto Area. (5) Given that degree days are largely ineffective during the non-heating season, there was no measurable impact on earnings in the third quarter. Degree days are fully effective, typically in the peak winter months, when their occurrence directly impacts the consumption pattern by a similar magnitude. ENBRIDGE INC.
