CALGARY, ALBERTA--(CCNMatthews - Nov. 3, 2005) - Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB)
Highlights
- Adjusted operating earnings increase 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
- Adjusted operating earnings for the third quarter increase 17% to $73.9 million
- Continued progress on multiple liquids pipeline development projects
- Recent hurricanes cause temporary volume declines for offshore gas transmission assets
- Board of Directors approves an increase in common share dividends of 15%
"This has been another strong quarter for Enbridge, notwithstanding the effects of two severe hurricanes and the resulting stress on our employees," said Patrick D. Daniel, President & Chief Executive Officer of Enbridge Inc. "While our offshore assets will continue to be negatively affected in the fourth quarter, Enbridge's full year performance and longer term outlook remain very bright, due to the diversity and quality of our asset base. Enbridge continues to anticipate full year 2005 adjusted operating earnings will be within the previously noted $1.60 to $1.65 per share range."
"Enbridge continues to actively develop and advance an unprecedented number of organic growth projects totaling more than $8 billion. During a busy quarter, we achieved some key milestones, evidencing our progress. We announced founding shipper agreements underpinning our $400 million Waupisoo oil sands feeder pipeline to Edmonton and successfully completed our shipper open season processes for the $1.3 billion Southern Access pipeline expansion to the U.S. Midwest and the $1.7 billion Gateway import condensate pipeline from Kitimat, B.C. to Edmonton, Alberta".
Mr. Daniel concluded, "As a result of this tremendous portfolio of opportunities, we are very confident that we will achieve organic growth rates on average over the next five years of 6% or more. We will continue to pursue accretive acquisitions on an opportunistic basis, as a supplementary source of growth, acknowledging that the current M&A price environment is challenging."
Based on this positive outlook, and taking into consideration the increased attractiveness that many investors are assigning to dividend income, the Board of Directors has approved a revised dividend policy for Enbridge. Going forward, Enbridge will target to pay out approximately 60%-70% of earnings, an increase from the recent 50% to 60% target range. The Board also determined that it would be appropriate to adjust the quarterly dividend immediately to bring it into alignment with the new target range. Enbridge retains ample balance sheet capacity, together with internally generated funds and access to capital markets, to maintain our strong credit rating and fund our large portfolio of organic growth projects as they are put in place, plus opportunistic acquisitions. The resulting combination of strong long term growth and favourable near term cash payout will provide our investors with an attractive value proposition and one that is unparalleled in our industry."
On November 2, 2005, the Enbridge Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.2875 per common share reflecting a 15% increase and $0.34375 per Series A Preferred Share. Both dividends are payable on December 1, 2005 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2005.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders are $382.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, or $1.13 per share, compared with $540.5 million, or $1.62 per share, in 2004. The $158.5 million decrease in earnings is primarily the result of the prior year including an after tax $97.8 million gain on the sale of Altagas Trust Units as well as the resulting absence of earnings from this investment in 2005. In addition, the 2004 earnings were higher as a result of the previously announced change in the year-end of the gas distribution operations that creates a lack of comparability between periods. Positive factors in 2005 include the earnings contribution from the recently acquired Enbridge Offshore Pipelines and lower interest expense.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders are $67.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, or $0.20 per share, compared with $179.7 million, or $0.54 per share, in 2004. The third quarter results reflect similar factors as the nine month results with the largest item being the $97.8 million gain on the sale of AltaGas in the prior year.

Operations on a calendar year basis for the three and nine months

earnings from EGD, Noverco and Other Gas Distribution Operations
on a quarter-lag basis for the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2004. Effective December 31, 2004, EGD changed its
fiscal year-end for financial reporting purposes from September
30 to December 31. Accordingly, the 2004 earnings from EGD,
Noverco and Other Gas Distribution Operations are not comparable
to earnings for 2005. Reconciliations are provided below.
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 to 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 clear earnings trends and increased predictive value.

(1) Effective December 31, 2004, EGD's fiscal year-end changed from
September 30 to December 31 and EGD is no longer consolidated on
a quarter-lag basis. In order to compare 2004 earnings to 2005,
the 2004 earnings for EGD, Noverco and Other Gas Distribution
Operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004,
have been eliminated and earnings, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2004, have been added. Other non-operating
factors and variances that affected these businesses in 2004 are
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, as was
reported in the Company's fourth quarter results for 2004.
Significant operating factors affecting consolidated earnings in 2005 include the following:
- Enbridge Offshore Pipelines, acquired December 31, 2004, contributes positive earnings.
- There are no earnings from AltaGas in 2005 as the investment was sold in 2004.
- Corporate costs are lower primarily as a result of lower interest expense.
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 related to these long-term investments. However, this does not eliminate the earnings volatility caused by exchange rate differences. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company received foreign currency denominated cash distributions and settled associated hedge transactions resulting in $9.9 million (2004 - $5.1 million) of incremental cash flows, which is not included in reported earnings.

- Enbridge System earnings include a lower earnings base from the Incentive Tolling Settlement (ITS) component of the Enbridge System reflecting the terms of the ITS memorandum of understanding, recently negotiated with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and filed with the National Energy Board. Also contributing to the earnings variance in the Enbridge System are increased oil losses, predominantly in the first quarter, and higher taxes relating to Terrace.
- Increased earnings from the Athabasca System are consistent with the overall return underpinning the long-term take or pay contract with its major shipper as well as lower operating costs due to leak remediation in the prior year.
- The year to date earnings variance in Feeder Pipelines and Other is the result of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ordered reparations on the Frontier Pipeline recorded in the first quarter of 2004.

- Alliance Pipeline (US) earnings variance primarily reflects the impact of the stronger Canadian dollar in 2005.
- Enbridge Offshore Pipelines was acquired on December 31, 2004. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have negatively affected transmission volumes and the results of this business. The quarterly result includes property insurance deductibles as well as lost revenue on various systems prior to the commencement of contingent business interruption insurance coverage. The combined effect of the property damage deductibles and the estimated lost revenue reduced expected third quarter earnings by approximately $10 million.
- Vector Pipeline earnings reflect the positive effect of continued growth in short haul firm transportation volumes offset by the negative impact of the stronger Canadian dollar in 2005.

- The 2005 results from EIF include higher preferred unit distributions as well as higher incentive income consistent with EIF's cash distribution increases in 2004. EIF's operating results benefited from enhanced performance at both Alliance Canada and the Saskatchewan System.
- EEP's 2005 results reflect a number of factors including positive contributions from natural gas systems offset by lower Lakehead System volumes, a stronger Canadian dollar, a lower ownership interest and $5.9 million (net to Enbridge) of unrealized mark-to-market losses on derivative financial instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. While Enbridge believes the hedging strategies are sound economic hedging techniques, they do not qualify for hedge accounting and must be accounted for on a mark-to-market basis through earnings.
- EEP issued partnership units in 2005 and 2004 and because Enbridge did not fully participate in these offerings, dilution gains resulted.

- EGD's 2005 regulatory decision eliminated seasonal distribution rates, which were higher in the winter months and lower in the summer months, and replaced them with a uniform annual rate. Commencing in 2005, this shifts a portion of earnings from the winter months to the summer months. The seasonal distribution rate variance, noted in the above table, is the effect of applying the uniform rate to 2004 results and volumes.
- EGD earnings are consistent with the prior year. The third quarter variance at EGD reflects the timing of various expenses as compared to the forecast cost of service that is included in revenues, and is a reversal of the trend identified in the prior quarter.

- During the year, the Company received a $70 million cash dividend from Noverco and recorded a $50 million adjustment for reciprocal dividends, both of which affect the accounting base of the investment and create a net future income tax recovery. Half of the dividend, and the related future income tax recovery, was recorded in the third quarter, resulting in increased earnings compared to the prior year. The net income tax recovery in the nine month period includes the future income tax expense recorded in respect of these items in the second quarter.

- The decrease in corporate costs is primarily the result of lower interest expense in 2005 and higher business development activity in 2004. The lower interest expense is a function of lower interest rates and lower average debt balances, including the December 2004 redemption of preferred securities with the proceeds from the AltaGas disposition.

(1) Gas Distribution and Services results for 2004 were consolidated
on a one-quarter-lag basis and therefore reflect the three and
nine month periods ended June 30, 2004. Starting at the end of
2004, EGD changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to
December 31. Therefore, the quarter lag basis of consolidation
was eliminated. Gas Distribution and Services results for 2005
reflect the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2005.
