CALGARY, ALBERTA--(CCNMatthews - Nov. 1, 2006) - Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) -
Highlights
- Adjusted operating earnings for the third quarter increase 25% to $92.3 million
- Adjusted operating earnings for the nine months increase 12% to $420.5 million
- Ownership interest in EEP increases with US$250 million investment
- Construction continues on Athabasca lateral pipelines and terminals
- Construction commences on the Southern Access pipeline expansion
"Enbridge delivered a 12% increase in adjusted earnings per common share in the first nine months of 2006," said Patrick D. Daniel, President & Chief Executive Officer of Enbridge Inc. "In light of this strong earnings performance we expect full year 2006 adjusted operating earnings to be within our previously noted $1.65 to $1.75 per share range." Mr. Daniel concluded, "This continued earnings growth, combined with our new infrastructure projects already under construction and the many other attractive opportunities currently under development, will create value for customers and shareholders."
On October 31, 2006, the Enbridge Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.2875 per common share and $0.34375 per Series A Preferred Share. Both dividends are payable on December 1, 2006 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2006.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $444.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, or $1.31 per share, compared with $382.0 million or $1.13 per share in 2005. The $62.3 million increase in earnings was attributed to strong performances from the Enbridge crude oil mainline system and the Aux Sable natural gas fractionation facility as well as $48.9 million from the revaluation of future income tax balances due to tax rate reductions. These positive factors were partially offset by a lower contribution from the gas distribution utility, as weather in the Ontario market area was significantly warmer than normal.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $95.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, or $0.28 per share, compared with $67.8 million, or $0.20 per share in 2005. The Aux Sable natural gas fractionation facility and Enbridge Energy Partners contributed to the $27.7 million increase in earnings. In contrast, two severe hurricanes in 2005 weakened the earnings contribution from the natural gas gathering and transmission assets in the Gulf of Mexico in the prior year.
Consolidated Earnings Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 2006 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liquids Pipelines 68.1 61.6 203.0 168.2 Gas Pipelines 15.1 9.9 47.0 46.9 Sponsored Investments 21.9 11.4 65.3 44.3 Gas Distribution and Services (11.4) (20.8) 108.6 109.9 International 21.1 21.0 64.2 59.6 Corporate (19.3) (15.3) (43.8) (46.9) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 95.5 67.8 444.3 382.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Significant operating factors affecting consolidated earnings in 2006 included the following:
- Enbridge crude oil mainline system earnings were higher primarily due to lower oil loss costs, higher earnings from Terrace and the Incentive Tolling Settlement (ITS).
- Enbridge Energy Partners earnings have increased significantly with higher crude oil throughput, strong margins and increased volumes in the natural gas gathering and processing businesses.
- Aux Sable has experienced strong natural gas processing margins throughout the year and earnings under the upside sharing agreement were recorded in the third quarter.
Non-GAAP Measures
This news release contains references to adjusted operating earnings, which represent earnings applicable to common shareholders adjusted for non-operating factors. This 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. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted operating earnings provides useful information to investors and shareholders as it provides increased predictive value and performance trends.

Significant after-tax non-operating factors and variances affecting consolidated earnings were as follows:

The Company has foreign currency denominated earnings, primarily from U.S. based operations and investments, as well as its Euro investment in CLH. The Company uses long-term derivative contracts to economically hedge a significant portion of the cash distributions from these long-term investments. However, this does not eliminate the GAAP earnings volatility caused by exchange rate differences. During nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company received foreign currency denominated cash distributions and settled associated hedge transactions resulting in $13.8 million (2005 - $9.9 million) of incremental cash flows, which were not included in reported earnings.
Liquids Pipelines Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 2006 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enbridge System 49.0 45.4 149.9 123.8 Athabasca System 14.0 13.1 40.1 36.8 Spearhead Pipeline 0.4 (0.2) 3.1 (0.8) Olympic Pipeline 2.2 - 4.8 - NW System 1.5 2.0 4.1 5.7 Feeder Pipelines and Other 1.0 1.3 1.0 2.7 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 68.1 61.6 203.0 168.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Enbridge System reflected higher earnings from a number of factors including lower oil losses, favourable ITS performance and, within Terrace, lower taxes, higher toll revenues and the impact of higher volumes generating surcharge revenue.
- Athabasca System earnings continued to grow as infrastructure additions contributed positively, but were partially offset by higher operating expenses.
- Spearhead Pipeline commenced commercial operations in early March, 2006. While volumes have remained strong and consistent with the prior months, third quarter earnings were negatively impacted by the timing of operating costs.
- Olympic Pipeline was acquired effective February 1, 2006 and is performing as expected.
Gas Pipelines Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 2006 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alliance Pipeline US 7.8 8.0 22.3 24.4 Vector Pipeline 2.5 3.6 9.3 11.6 Enbridge Offshore Pipelines 4.8 (1.7) 15.4 10.9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15.1 9.9 47.0 46.9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Alliance Pipeline US earnings were lower in 2006 primarily due to the stronger Canadian dollar.
- Vector Pipeline earnings were also impacted by the stronger Canadian dollar and higher operating costs in the second and third quarters of 2006 due to scheduled integrity inspections required by the regulator within the first six years of operation.
- Enbridge Offshore Pipelines earnings were negatively impacted by two severe hurricanes in the third quarter of the prior year. Volumes have returned to pre-hurricane levels in 2006, however, the stronger Canadian dollar, among other factors, has also reduced earnings.
Sponsored Investments Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 2006 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enbridge Income Fund (EIF) 9.8 9.1 27.8 25.8 Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP) 12.1 2.3 31.5 13.9 Dilution gains in EEP - - - 4.6 Revalue future income taxes due to tax rate changes - - 6.0 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21.9 11.4 65.3 44.3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- EIF's contribution was comparable with the prior year and reflected modest growth at EIF.
- EEP's 2006 results improved significantly, despite the stronger Canadian dollar, and reflected considerably higher liquids throughput on the Lakehead System, higher margins and increased volumes in the natural gas gathering and processing businesses in addition to a higher Enbridge ownership interest. The nine months of 2006 also included $5.1 million (net to Enbridge) of unrealized mark-to-market gains on derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (gain of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2006 and a loss of $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2005).
- EEP issued partnership units in the first quarter of 2005 and because Enbridge did not fully participate in these offerings, dilution gains resulted. While new units were issued by EEP in the third quarter of 2006, no dilution gains resulted as Enbridge participated in the offering, increasing Enbridge's ownership interest in EEP from 10.9% to 16.6%.
Gas Distribution and Services Three months ended Nine months ended (millions of Canadian dollars) September 30, September 30, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 2006 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enbridge Gas Distribution (EGD) (27.8) (32.9) 25.4 55.4 Noverco (3.9) 1.9 11.2 21.7 CustomerWorks/ECS 5.7 6.6 16.0 18.9 Other Gas Distribution (1.2) (1.0) 4.1 4.9 Enbridge Gas New Brunswick 2.8 1.8 7.1 3.8 Gas Services (0.9) (0.8) (1.2) (0.9) Aux Sable 14.9 2.4 16.1 6.2 Other (1.0) 1.2 1.0 (0.1) Revalue future income taxes due to tax rate changes - - 28.9 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (11.4) (20.8) 108.6 109.9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- EGD's distribution volumes and earnings in 2006 were impacted by warmer weather in Ontario which reduced earnings by $30.2 million, whereas weather was colder than normal and increased earnings by $1.5 million in the prior year. Weather in the third quarter did not significantly impact earnings in either year.
- EGD earnings were also reduced by a lower rate of return on common equity, partially offset by a higher rate base. These factors had a more pronounced effect in the first quarter given it is a high volume distribution period.
- EGD's earnings are also affected by variances from the forecast cost of service, including operating and maintenance costs. EGD's costs can vary from quarter to quarter due to many factors including weather, project timelines and the timing of operating and capital expenditures. This provided a slight positive earnings effect in the second and third quarters of 2006.
- Noverco earnings were lower in the third quarter as the prior year included a future income tax recovery stemming from the receipt of a significant cash dividend. In addition, the first quarter of the prior year included a $7.3 million dilution gain from a Gaz Metro LP unit issuance in which Noverco did not participate.
- Aux Sable entered into an output arrangement effective January 1, 2006, that substantially eliminates all negative earnings variability. Aux Sable now receives a fixed annual fee and upside sharing above a certain margin level measured on an annual basis. Fractionation margins have been positive throughout 2006, and in the third quarter, earnings were recorded under the upside sharing agreement that met the accounting criteria for contingent revenue recognition.

The increase in Corporate costs was primarily due to higher interest expense as a portion of the Company's floating rate debt was repaid through the issuance of long-term fixed rate debt.
