Consolidated Financial Statements (prepared in US$)

 

 


 

Third quarter report
for the period ended September 30, 2010
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(All amounts in $ millions unless otherwise specified)
1. Basis of Presentation
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Encana Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Encana” or the “Company”), and are presented in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Encana’s operations are in the business of the exploration for, the development of, and the production and marketing of natural gas and crude oil and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”).
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, except as noted below. The disclosures provided below are incremental to those included with the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain information and disclosures normally required to be included in the notes to the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, the interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009.
On November 30, 2009, Encana completed a corporate reorganization (the “Split Transaction”) to split into two independent publicly traded energy companies — Encana Corporation, a natural gas company, and Cenovus Energy Inc. (“Cenovus”), an integrated oil company.
In conjunction with the Split Transaction, on September 18, 2009, Cenovus completed a private offering of senior unsecured notes for net proceeds of $3,468 million. The net proceeds from the private offering, together with amounts on deposit, were held in escrow as restricted cash for the benefit of the note holders until the Split Transaction was completed.
Encana’s 2009 comparative results in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows include Cenovus’s upstream operations prior to the November 30, 2009 Split Transaction in continuing operations, while the U.S. Downstream Refining results are reported as discontinued operations.
2. Changes in Accounting Policies and Practices
On January 1, 2010, Encana adopted the following Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook sections:
 
“Business Combinations”, Section 1582, which replaces the previous business combinations standard. The standard requires assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies to be measured at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. In addition, acquisition-related and restructuring costs are to be recognized separately from the business combination and included in the statement of earnings. The adoption of this standard will impact the accounting treatment of future business combinations entered into after January 1, 2010.
 
“Consolidated Financial Statements”, Section 1601, which, together with Section 1602 below, replace the former consolidated financial statements standard. Section 1601 establishes the requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on Encana’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
“Non-controlling Interests”, Section 1602, which establishes the accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. The standard requires a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary to be classified as a separate component of equity. In addition, net earnings and components of other comprehensive income are attributed to both the parent and non-controlling interest. The adoption of this standard has had no material impact on Encana’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
The above CICA Handbook sections are converged with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Encana will be required to report its results in accordance with IFRS beginning in 2011. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS on Encana’s financial results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

3. Segmented Information
The Company’s operating and reportable segments are as follows:
 
Canada includes the Company’s exploration for, and development and production of natural gas, crude oil and NGLs and other related activities within the Canadian cost centre.
 
USA includes the Company’s exploration for, and development and production of natural gas, NGLs and other related activities within the U.S. cost centre.
 
Market Optimization is primarily responsible for the sale of the Company’s proprietary production. These results are included in the Canada and USA segments. Market optimization activities include third-party purchases and sales of product that provide operational flexibility for transportation commitments, product type, delivery points and customer diversification. These activities are reflected in the Market Optimization segment.
 
Corporate and Other mainly includes unrealized gains or losses recorded on derivative financial instruments. Once amounts are settled, the realized gains and losses are recorded in the operating segment to which the derivative instrument relates.
Market Optimization sells substantially all of the Company’s upstream production to third-party customers. Transactions between segments are based on market values and eliminated on consolidation. The tables in this note present financial information on an after eliminations basis.
In conjunction with the Split Transaction, the assets formerly included in Encana’s Canadian Plains Division and Integrated Oil Division were transferred to Cenovus. As a result, the former Canadian Foothills Division is reported as the Canadian Division and the Canadian Plains Division and Integrated Oil — Canada are presented as Canada — Other. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this presentation.
Encana has a decentralized decision-making and reporting structure. Accordingly, the Company reports its divisional results as follows:
 
Canadian Division, formerly the Canadian Foothills Division, which includes natural gas development and production assets located in British Columbia and Alberta, as well as the Deep Panuke natural gas project offshore Nova Scotia. Four key resource plays are located in the Division: (i) Greater Sierra in northeast British Columbia, including Horn River; (ii) Cutbank Ridge on the Alberta and British Columbia border, including Montney; (iii) Bighorn in west central Alberta; and (iv) Coalbed Methane in southern Alberta.
 
USA Division, which includes the natural gas development and production assets located in the U.S. Five key resource plays are located in the Division: (i) Jonah in southwest Wyoming; (ii) Piceance in northwest Colorado; (iii) East Texas in Texas; (iv) Haynesville in Louisiana and Texas; and (v) Fort Worth in Texas.
 
Canada — Other includes the combined results from the former Canadian Plains Division and Integrated Oil — Canada.
Operations that have been discontinued are disclosed in Note 4.

11. Capital Structure
The Company’s capital structure consists of Shareholders’ Equity plus Debt, defined as Long-term Debt including the current portion. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital structure are to:
  i)  
maintain financial flexibility to preserve Encana’s access to capital markets and its ability to meet its financial obligations; and
 
  ii)  
finance internally generated growth, as well as potential acquisitions.
The Company monitors its capital structure and short-term financing requirements using non-GAAP financial metrics consisting of Debt to Capitalization and Debt to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). These metrics are measures of the Company’s overall financial strength and are used to steward the Company’s overall debt position.
Encana targets a Debt to Capitalization ratio of less than 40 percent. At September 30, 2010, Encana’s Debt to Capitalization ratio was 30 percent (December 31, 2009 — 32 percent) calculated as follows:
                 
    As at     As at

Encana has a long-standing practice of maintaining capital discipline, managing its capital structure and adjusting its capital structure according to market conditions to maintain flexibility while achieving the objectives stated above. To manage the capital structure, the Company may adjust capital spending, adjust dividends paid to shareholders, purchase shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids, issue new shares, issue new debt or repay existing debt.
The Company’s capital management objectives, evaluation measures, definitions and targets have remained unchanged over the periods presented. Encana is subject to certain financial covenants in its credit facility agreements and is in compliance with all financial covenants.

12. Share Capital (continued)
Stock Options
Encana has stock-based compensation plans that allow employees to purchase Common Shares of the Company. Option exercise prices approximate the market price for the Common Shares on the date the options were granted. Options granted under the plans are generally fully exercisable after three years and expire five years after the date granted. Options granted under predecessor and/or related company replacement plans expire up to 10 years from the date the options were granted.
As at September 30, 2010, Encana had no stock options outstanding and exercisable (2009 — 256,294 outstanding and exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of C$11.84 per stock option). These stock options do not have Tandem Share Appreciation Rights (“TSARs”) attached.
Encana Share Units Held by Cenovus Employees
As part of the Split Transaction on November 30, 2009, each holder of Encana share units disposed of their right in exchange for the grant of new Encana share units and Cenovus share units. The terms and conditions of the new share units are similar to the terms and conditions of the original share units. Additional information is contained in Note 17 of the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Refer to Note 13 for information regarding share units held by Encana employees.
With respect to the Encana share units held by Cenovus employees and the Cenovus share units held by Encana employees, both Encana and Cenovus have agreed to reimburse each other for share units exercised for cash by their respective employees. Accordingly, for Encana share units held by Cenovus employees, Encana has recorded a payable to Cenovus employees and a receivable due from Cenovus. The payable to Cenovus employees and the receivable due from Cenovus is based on the fair value of the Encana share units determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model (See Note 14). There is no material impact on Encana’s net earnings for these share units held by Cenovus employees. No further Encana share units will be granted to Cenovus employees.
As Cenovus employees may exercise Encana TSARs and Encana Performance TSARs in exchange for Encana Common Shares, the following table is provided as at September 30, 2010:

13. Compensation Plans (continued)
E) Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)
In February 2010, PSUs were granted to eligible employees which entitle the employee to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to the value of one Common Share of Encana for each PSU held, depending upon the terms of the amended PSU plan. PSUs vest three years from the date of grant, provided the employee remains actively employed with Encana on the vesting date.
The ultimate value of the PSUs will depend upon Encana’s performance measured over the three year period. Each year, Encana’s performance will be assessed by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to determine whether the performance criteria have been met. Based on this assessment, up to a maximum of two times the original PSU grant may be awarded. The respective proportion of the original PSU grant for each year will be valued, based on an average share price, and the notional cash value deposited to a PSU account, with payout deferred to the final vesting date. The following table summarizes information related to the PSUs at September 30, 2010:

14. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Encana’s financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, investments and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, risk management assets and liabilities and long-term debt. Risk management assets and liabilities arise from the use of derivative financial instruments. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities, summarized information related to risk management positions, and discussion of risks associated with financial assets and liabilities are presented as follows:
A) Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term maturity of those instruments except for the amounts associated with new share units issued as part of the November 30, 2009 Split Transaction as discussed in Notes 12 and 13.
Risk management assets and liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair value based on the mark-to-market method of accounting, using quoted market prices or, in their absence, third-party market indications and forecasts.
The fair value of investments and other assets approximate their carrying amount due to the nature of the instruments held.
Long-term debt is carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method of amortization. The estimated fair values of long-term borrowings have been determined based on market information where available, or by discounting future payments of interest and principal at estimated interest rates expected to be available to the Company at period end.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities were as follows:

14. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
C) Risks Associated with Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company is exposed to financial risks arising from its financial assets and liabilities. Financial risks include market risks (such as commodity prices, foreign exchange and interest rates), credit risk and liquidity risk. The fair value or future cash flows of financial assets or liabilities may fluctuate due to movement in market prices and the exposure to credit and liquidity risks.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk arises from the effect that fluctuations of future commodity prices may have on the fair value or future cash flows of financial assets and liabilities. To partially mitigate exposure to commodity price risk, the Company has entered into various financial derivative instruments. The use of these derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board. The Company’s policy is to not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Natural Gas — To partially mitigate the natural gas commodity price risk, the Company has entered into swaps which fix the NYMEX prices. To help protect against widening natural gas price differentials in various production areas, Encana has entered into swaps to manage the price differentials between these production areas and various sales points.
Crude Oil — The Company has partially mitigated its commodity price risk on crude oil with swaps which fix WTI NYMEX prices.
Power — The Company has in place two Canadian dollar denominated derivative contracts, which commenced January 1, 2007 for a period of 11 years, to manage its electricity consumption costs.
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the potential that the Company may incur a loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligation in accordance with agreed terms. This credit risk exposure is mitigated through the use of Board-approved credit policies governing the Company’s credit portfolio and with credit practices that limit transactions according to counterparties’ credit quality. At September 30, 2010, cash equivalents include high-grade, short-term securities, placed primarily with Governments and financial institutions with strong investment grade ratings. Any foreign currency agreements entered into are with major financial institutions in Canada and the United States or with counterparties having investment grade credit ratings. A substantial portion of the Company’s accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. As at September 30, 2010, approximately 97 percent (93 percent at December 31, 2009) of Encana’s accounts receivable and financial derivative credit exposures are with investment grade counterparties.
At September 30, 2010, Encana had three counterparties (2009 — four counterparties) whose net settlement position individually account for more than 10 percent of the fair value of the outstanding in-the-money net financial instrument contracts by counterparty. The maximum credit risk exposure associated with accounts receivable and accrued revenues and risk management assets is the total carrying value.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting a demand to fund its financial liabilities as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk through cash and debt management. As disclosed in Note 11, Encana targets a Debt to Capitalization ratio of less than 40 percent and a Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of less than 2.0 times to steward the Company’s overall debt position.
In managing liquidity risk, the Company has access to cash equivalents and a wide range of funding at competitive rates through commercial paper, capital markets and banks. As at September 30, 2010, Encana had available unused committed bank credit facilities totaling $4.9 billion which include a C$4.5 billion ($4.3 billion) revolving bank credit facility and a U.S. subsidiary revolving bank credit facility for $565 million that remain committed through October 2012 and February 2013, respectively.

14. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
C) Risks Associated with Financial Assets and Liabilities (continued)
Encana also had unused capacity under two shelf prospectuses for up to $6.0 billion, the availability of which is dependent on market conditions, to issue up to C$2.0 billion ($2.0 billion) of debt securities in Canada and up to $4.0 billion of debt securities in the United States. These shelf prospectuses expire in June 2011 and May 2012, respectively. The Company believes it has sufficient funding through the use of these facilities to meet foreseeable borrowing requirements.
The timing of cash outflows relating to financial liabilities are outlined in the table below:
                                         
    Less Than 1 Year     1 - 3 Years     4 - 5 Years     Thereafter     Total

*  
Principal and interest, including current portion.
Encana’s total long-term debt obligations were $14.2 billion at September 30, 2010. Further information on Long-Term Debt is contained in Note 9.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial assets or liabilities. As Encana operates primarily in North America, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S./Canadian dollar can have a significant effect on the Company’s reported results. Encana’s functional currency is Canadian dollars; however, the Company reports its results in U.S. dollars as most of its revenue is closely tied to the U.S. dollar and to facilitate a more direct comparison to other North American oil and gas companies. As the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations are embedded in the Company’s results, the total effect of foreign exchange fluctuations are not separately identifiable.
To mitigate the exposure to the fluctuating U.S./Canadian exchange rate, Encana maintains a mix of both U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar debt. At September 30, 2010, Encana had $5.4 billion in U.S. dollar debt issued from Canada ($5.6 billion at December 31, 2009) subject to foreign exchange exposure.
Encana’s foreign exchange (gain) loss primarily includes foreign exchange gains and losses on U.S. dollar cash and short-term investments held in Canada, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation of U.S. dollar debt issued from Canada, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation of U.S. dollar denominated risk management assets and liabilities held in Canada and, in the prior year, foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation of the U.S. dollar partnership contribution receivable issued from Canada. A $0.01 change in the U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate would have resulted in a $46 million change in foreign exchange (gain) loss at September 30, 2010 (2009 — $22 million).
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from changes in market interest rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows from the Company’s financial assets or liabilities. Typically, the Company partially mitigates its exposure to interest rate changes by maintaining a mix of both fixed and floating rate debt.
At September 30, 2010, the Company had no floating rate debt. Therefore, the increase or decrease in net earnings for each one percent change in interest rates on floating rate debt was nil (2009 — $3 million).
15. Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various legal claims associated with the normal course of operations. The Company believes it has made adequate provision for such legal claims.
16. Reclassification
Certain information provided for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in 2010.
