Enbridge Reports First Half Earnings of $348.8 Million

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(CCNMatthews - Aug. 2, 2006) - Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB)

Highlights

- Adjusted operating earnings for the second quarter increase 24% to $118.7 million

- Adjusted operating earnings for the first half increase 9% to $328.2 million

- US$920 million Southern Lights diluent pipeline receives commitments exceeding the planned capacity

- US$350 million Southern Access Extension Project receives shipper support

- $250 million contract storage terminal to be constructed at Hardisty, Alberta

"Our financial results are again very strong, with second quarter adjusted operating earnings per share increasing markedly, which leaves us well positioned to meet our previously stated objectives for the year," said Patrick D. Daniel, President & Chief Executive Officer of Enbridge Inc. "Over the last few years we have announced a large number of projects that respond to increasingly strong industry fundamentals. These projects span an array of oil and gas transportation and storage opportunities and are in various stages of development."

Mr. Daniel added, "Most notably, Enbridge continues to develop new crude oil market access pipelines including our Gateway, Alberta Clipper and Southern Access projects as well as a variety of alternatives to move Canadian oil sands crude oil to the Gulf of Mexico. These initiatives and projects will ensure that our customers have sufficient access to the right markets at the right time. This robust slate of projects provides us with significant growth opportunities in our existing lines of business, where we have historically been very successful, and will enable us to generate superior returns to shareholders."

On August 1, 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 September 1, 2006 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2006.

The Board of Directors also announced that it had accepted, with regret, the resignation of William R. Fatt, a Director since 2000, due to increasing commitments associated with Mr. Fatt's role as Chief Executive Officer of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Inc.

Earnings applicable to common shareholders were $348.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, or $1.03 per share, compared with $314.2 million or $0.93 per share in 2005. The $34.6 million increase in earnings was attributed to strong performance from the Enbridge crude oil mainline system and $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 $157.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, or $0.47 per share, compared with $93.6 million, or $0.27 per share in 2005. The $64.3 million increase in earnings reflected similar factors as those identified in the six month analysis except the weather impact at the gas distribution utility was less significant as the second quarter is seasonally a quarter in which lower volumes are distributed.

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 operating factors affecting consolidated earnings in 2006 included the following:

- Enbridge crude oil mainline system earnings were higher primarily due to lower oil losses, 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.

- Corporate costs increased as certain floating interest rate financings were replaced with longer term fixed rate debt.

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 the first half of 2006, the Company received foreign currency denominated cash distributions and settled associated hedge transactions resulting in $9.8 million (2005 - $5.4 million) of incremental cash flows, which were not included in reported earnings.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The Enbridge System reflected higher earnings from a number of factors including lower oil losses, performance incentives under the ITS and, within Terrace, lower taxes, higher toll revenues and the impact of higher volumes on the 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.

- Olympic Pipeline was acquired effective February 1, 2006.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Alliance Pipeline US earnings were lower due to the stronger Canadian dollar in the first half of 2006 in comparison with the first half of 2005.

- Vector Pipeline earnings were also impacted by the stronger Canadian dollar and higher operating costs in the second quarter of 2006 due to scheduled integrity inspections required by the regulator within the first six years of operation.

- Enbridge Offshore Pipelines earnings are lower than the prior year; however, volumes returned to pre-hurricane levels during the second quarter of 2006. The stronger Canadian dollar also reduced earnings.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- EEP's contribution to 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. The first half of 2006 also included $2.4 million (net to Enbridge) of unrealized mark-to-market gains on derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2006).

- EEP issued partnership units in the first quarter of 2005 and because Enbridge did not fully participate in these offerings, dilution gains resulted. There were no unit issuances in the first half of 2006.

- EGD's distribution volumes and earnings in 2006 were impacted by warmer weather. The weather in Ontario was warmer than normal in 2006 and reduced earnings by $30.7 million ($9.4 million in the second quarter) whereas weather was colder than normal and increased earnings by $1.7 million in the prior year ($2.0 million warmer than normal in the second quarter). EGD earnings were also reduced by a lower regulated rate of return on common equity, partially offset by a higher regulator approved rate base. The timing of operating and maintenance activities also increased earnings in the second quarter of 2006.

- Noverco earnings were higher in the second quarter as the prior year included increased future income tax expense due to adjustments for reciprocal dividends and 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 earnings were lower despite positive fractionation margins during the first half of 2006. Aux Sable entered into an output arrangement effective January 1, 2006, that eliminates substantially all negative earnings variability. Aux Sable now receives a fixed annual fee and upside sharing above a certain fractionation margin level. As the upside sharing is an annual measure, earnings in the first half of 2006 reflect only the fixed fee portion of the payment. Any upside sharing will be recorded when earned, in accordance with accounting rules for 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.

(1) Liquids Pipelines operating highlights include the statistics of the
10.9% owned Lakehead System and other wholly- owned liquid pipeline
operations, excluding Spearhead Pipeline and Olympic Pipeline.
(2) Gas Distribution and Services volumes and the number of active
customers are derived from the aggregate system supply and direct
purchase gas supply arrangements.
(3) 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.
