THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2015


Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements
(unaudited)
 
1. Basis of presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements of TransCanada Corporation (TransCanada or the Company) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those outlined in TransCanada’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, except as described in Note 2, Changes in accounting policies. Capitalized and abbreviated terms that are used but not otherwise defined herein are identified in TransCanada’s 2014 Annual Report.
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments, all of which are normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2014 audited consolidated financial statements included in TransCanada’s 2014 Annual Report. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
 
Earnings for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year in the Company’s Natural Gas Pipelines segment due to the timing of regulatory decisions and seasonal fluctuations in short-term throughput volumes on U.S. pipelines. Earnings for interim periods may also not be indicative of results for the fiscal year in the Company’s Energy segment due to the impact of seasonal weather conditions on customer demand and market pricing in certain of the Company’s investments in electrical power generation plants and non-regulated gas storage facilities.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

In preparing these financial statements, TransCanada is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the amount and timing of recording assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses since the determination of these items may be dependent on future events. The Company uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgement in making these estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the Company’s significant accounting policies included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, except as described in Note 2, Changes in accounting policies.

2. Changes in accounting policies

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR 2015

Reporting discontinued operations
In April 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance on the reporting of discontinued operations. The criteria of what will qualify as a discontinued operation has changed and there are expanded disclosures required. This new guidance was applied prospectively from January 1, 2015 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of applying this new standard.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Revenue from contracts with customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. This guidance supersedes the current revenue recognition requirements and most industry-specific guidance. This new guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB agreed to defer the effective date of this new standard to January 1, 2018, with early adoption not permitted before January 1, 2017. There are two methods in which the amendment can be applied:



TRANSCANADA [ 50
THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2015


(1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or (2) retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU and has not yet determined the effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Extraordinary and unusual income statement items
In January 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on extraordinary and unusual income statement items. This update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. This new guidance is effective from January 1, 2016 and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation
In February 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on consolidation analysis. This update requires that entities reevaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities and eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. This new guidance is effective from January 1, 2016 and will be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU and has not yet determined the effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Imputation of interest
In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on simplifying the accounting for debt issuance costs. The amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability consistent with debt discounts or premiums. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2016 and will be applied retrospectively. The application of this amendment will result in a reclassification of debt issuance costs currently recorded in intangible and other assets to an offset of their respective debt liabilities.

Inventory
In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. The amendments in this update specify that an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using Last In First Out or the retail inventory method. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2017 and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging
In August 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on the application of the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception to certain electricity contracts within nodal energy markets. The amendments in this update apply to entities that enter into contracts for the purchase or sale of electricity on a forward basis and arrange for transmission through or delivery to a location within a nodal energy market whereby one of the contracting parties incurs charges (or credits) for the transmission of that electricity based in part on locational marginal pricing differences payable to (or receivable from) an independent system operator. This new guidance was effective upon issuance, was applied prospectively and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations
In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the accounting for measurement-period adjustments in business combinations. The new guidance in this update eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2016 and will be applied prospectively on future business combinations.

4. Pipeline abandonment costs

As a result of the NEB’s Land Matters Consultation Initiative (LMCI), TransCanada is required to collect funds to cover estimated future pipeline abandonment costs for all NEB regulated Canadian pipelines. Amounts collected are included in regulatory liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As at September 30, 2015, regulatory liabilities included $188 million (December 31, 2014 - nil) of estimated future abandonment costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. 

Collected funds are placed in trusts that hold and invest the funds and are accounted for as restricted investments. As at September 30, 2015, intangible and other assets included $188 million (December 31, 2014 - nil) of LMCI restricted investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For more information on the fair values of these investments which are classified as available for sale refer to Note 11.

5. Income taxes
 
At September 30, 2015, the total unrecognized tax benefit of uncertain tax positions was approximately $18 million (December 31, 2014 - $18 million). TransCanada recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax uncertainties in income tax expense. Included in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 is nil and $1 million for the reversal of interest expense and nil for penalties (September 30, 2014 - nil of interest expense and nil for penalties). At September 30, 2015, the Company had $4 million accrued for interest expense and nil accrued for penalties (December 31, 2014 - $5 million accrued for interest expense and nil for penalties).
 
The effective tax rates for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 32 per cent and 30 per cent. The higher effective tax rate in 2015 was primarily the result of an increase in the Alberta statutory tax rate and changes in the proportion of income earned between Canadian and foreign jurisdictions.

The Junior subordinated unsecured notes are subordinated in right of payment to existing and future senior indebtedness or other obligations of TCPL and are callable at TCPL's option at any time on or after May 20, 2025 at 100 per cent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
2
The Junior subordinated notes were issued to TransCanada Trust. The interest rate is fixed at 5.875 per cent per annum and will reset starting May 2025 until May 2045 to the three month LIBOR plus 3.778 per cent per annum; from May 2045 to May 2075 the interest rate will reset to the three month LIBOR plus 4.528 per cent per annum.
TransCanada Trust (the Trust), a 100 per cent owned financing trust subsidiary of TCPL, issued US$750 million Trust Notes - Series 2015-A (Trust Notes) to third party investors with a fixed interest rate of 5.625 per cent for the first ten years converting to a floating rate thereafter. All of the proceeds of the issuance by the Trust were loaned to TCPL in US$750 million junior subordinated notes of TCPL at a rate of 5.875 per cent which includes a 0.25 per cent administration charge. While the obligations of the Trust are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by TCPL on a subordinated basis, the Trust is not consolidated in TransCanada's financial statements because TCPL does not have a variable interest in the Trust and the only substantive assets of the Trust are receivables from TCPL. 

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Notes and related agreements, in certain circumstances (1) TCPL may issue deferral preferred shares to holders of the Trust Notes in lieu of interest; and (2) TransCanada and TCPL would be prohibited from declaring or paying dividends on or redeeming their outstanding preferred shares (or, if none are outstanding, their respective common shares) until all deferral preferred shares are redeemed by TCPL. The Trust Notes may also be automatically exchanged for preferred shares of TCPL upon certain kinds of bankruptcy and insolvency events. All of these preferred shares would rank equally with other outstanding first preferred shares of TCPL. Further details regarding the terms of the Trust Notes and the related agreements entered into by TransCanada and TCPL can be found in the prospectus in respect of the Trust Notes and other documents filed under the Trust's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

8. Equity and share capital

In June 2015, holders of 5.5 million Series 3 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares exercised their option to convert to Series 4 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares and receive quarterly floating rate cumulative dividends at an annual rate equal to the applicable 90-day Government of Canada treasury bill rate plus 1.28 per cent which will reset every quarter going forward. The fixed dividend rate on the remaining Series 3 preferred shares was reset for five years at 2.152 per cent per annum.

In March 2015, TransCanada completed a public offering of 10 million Series 11 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares at $25 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $250 million. The Series 11 preferred shareholders will have the right to convert their Series 11 preferred shares into Series 12 cumulative redeemable first preferred shares on November 30, 2020 and on November 30 of every fifth year thereafter. The holders of Series 12 preferred shares will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative dividends at an annual rate equal to the applicable 90-day Government of Canada treasury bill rate plus 2.96 per cent.

Losses related to cash flow hedges reported in AOCI and expected to be reclassified to net income in the next 12 months are estimated to be $64 million ($39 million, net of tax) at September 30, 2015. These estimates assume constant commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates over time, however, the amounts reclassified will vary based on the actual value of these factors at the date of settlement.

11. Risk management and financial instruments
 
RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

TransCanada has exposure to market risk and counterparty credit risk, and has strategies, policies and limits in place to manage the impact of these risks on earnings, cash flow and, ultimately, shareholder value.

COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK

TransCanada’s maximum counterparty credit exposure with respect to financial instruments at September 30, 2015, without taking into account security held, consisted of accounts receivable, available for sale assets recorded at fair value, the fair value of derivative assets and notes, loans and advances receivable. At September 30, 2015, there were no significant amounts past due or impaired, and there were no significant credit losses during the period.
 
The Company had a credit risk concentration due from a counterparty of $248 million (US$185 million) and $258 million (US$222 million) at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. This amount is expected to be fully collectible and is secured by a guarantee from the counterparty’s investment grade parent company.
 
NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The Company hedges its net investment in foreign operations (on an after-tax basis) with U.S. dollar-denominated debt, cross-currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Non-derivative financial instruments

Fair value of non-derivative financial instruments
The fair value of the Company's notes receivable is calculated by discounting future payments of interest and principal using forward interest rates. The fair value of long-term debt and junior subordinated notes is estimated using an income approach based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments from external data service providers.

Available for sale assets are recorded at fair value which is calculated using quoted market prices where available. Certain non-derivative financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, intangible and other assets, notes payable, accounts payable and other, accrued interest and other long-term liabilities have carrying amounts that approximate their fair value due to the nature of the item or the short time to maturity and would also be classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy.

Credit risk has been taken into consideration when calculating the fair value of non-derivative instruments.

The following table details the fair value of the non-derivative financial instruments, excluding those with carrying amounts that approximate fair value, that would be classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy:

Long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost except for US$750 million (December 31, 2014 - US$400 million) that is attributed to hedged risk and recorded at fair value.
3
Consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included unrealized losses of $9 million and $9 million (2014 - gains of $2 million and losses of $3 million) for fair value adjustments attributable to the hedged interest rate risk associated with interest rate swap fair value hedging relationships on US$750 million of long-term debt at September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - US$400 million). There were no other unrealized gains or losses from fair value adjustments to the non-derivative financial instruments.

Derivative instruments

Fair value of derivative instruments
The fair value of foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives has been calculated using the income approach which uses period end market rates and applies a discounted cash flow valuation model. The fair value of power and natural gas derivatives has been calculated using quoted market prices where available. In the absence of quoted market prices, third-party broker quotes or other valuation techniques have been used. The fair value of options has been calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Credit risk has been taken into consideration when calculating the fair value of derivative instruments.

In some cases, even though the derivatives are considered to be effective economic hedges, they do not meet the specific criteria for hedge accounting treatment or are not designated as a hedge and are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income in the period of change. This may expose the Company to increased variability in reported earnings because the fair value of the derivative instruments can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate and foreign exchange derivative instruments held for trading are included net in interest expense and interest income and other expense, respectively. The effective portion of the change in fair value of derivative instruments in hedging relationships is initially recognized in OCI and reclassified to energy revenues, interest expense and interest income and other expense, as appropriate, as the original hedged item settles.
6
All hedging relationships are designated as cash flow hedges except for interest rate derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges with a fair value of $12 million and a notional amount of US$750 million as at September 30, 2015. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, net realized gains on fair value hedges were $4 million and $8 million and were included in interest expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company did not record any amounts in net income related to ineffectiveness for fair value hedges.
7
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were no gains or losses included in net income for discontinued cash flow hedges where it was probable that the anticipated transaction would not occur.

Offsetting of derivative instruments
The Company enters into derivative contracts with the right to offset in the normal course of business as well as in the event of default. TransCanada has no master netting agreements, however, similar contracts are entered into containing rights to offset. The Company has elected to present the fair value of derivative instruments with the right to offset on a gross basis in the balance sheet.

Amounts available for offset do not include cash collateral pledged or received.
 
With respect to all financial arrangements, including the derivative instruments presented above as at September 30, 2015, the Company had provided cash collateral of $468 million (December 31, 2014 - $459 million) and letters of credit of $28 million (December 31, 2014 - $26 million) to its counterparties. The Company held nil (December 31, 2014 - $1 million) in cash collateral and $2 million (December 31, 2014 - $1 million) in letters of credit from counterparties on asset exposures at September 30, 2015
 
Credit risk related contingent features of derivative instruments
Derivative contracts entered into to manage market risk often contain financial assurance provisions that allow parties to the contracts to manage credit risk. These provisions may require collateral to be provided if a credit-risk-related contingent event occurs, such as a downgrade in the Company’s credit rating to non-investment grade.
 
Based on contracts in place and market prices at September 30, 2015, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $15 million (December 31, 2014 - $15 million), for which the Company had provided collateral in the normal course of business of nil (December 31, 2014 - nil). If the credit-risk-related contingent features in these agreements were triggered on September 30, 2015, the Company would have been required to provide additional collateral of $15 million (December 31, 2014 - $15 million) to its counterparties. Collateral may also need to be provided should the fair value of derivative instruments exceed pre-defined contractual exposure limit thresholds.
 
The Company has sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and undrawn committed revolving bank lines to meet these contingent obligations should they arise.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized into three categories based on a fair value hierarchy.
Levels
How fair value has been determined
Level I
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level II
Valuation based on the extrapolation of inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level I, for which all significant inputs are observable directly or indirectly.
 
Inputs include published exchange rates, interest rates, interest rate swap curves, yield curves and broker quotes from external data service providers.
 
This category includes interest rate and foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using the income approach and power and natural gas commodity derivatives where fair value is determined using the market approach.
 
Transfers between Level I and Level II would occur when there is a change in market circumstances.
Level III
Valuation of assets and liabilities are measured using a market approach based on extrapolation of inputs that are unobservable or where observable data does not support a significant portion of the derivative's fair value. This category includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low and inputs may include long-term broker quotes. Valuation of options is based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.
 
Long-term electricity prices may also be estimated using a third-party modeling tool which takes into account physical operating characteristics of generation facilities in the markets in which the Company operates. Model inputs include market fundamentals such as fuel prices, power supply additions and retirements, power demand, seasonal hydro conditions and transmission constraints. Long-term North American natural gas prices might be estimated on a view of future natural gas supply and demand, as well as exploration and development costs. Significant decreases in fuel prices or demand for electricity or natural gas, increases in the supply of electricity or natural gas, or a small number of transactions in markets with lower liquidity are expected to or may result in a lower fair value measurement of contracts included in Level III.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value can fluctuate between Level II and Level III depending on the proportion of the value of the contract that extends beyond the time frame for which significant inputs are considered to be observable. As contracts near maturity and observable market data becomes available, they are transferred out of Level III and into Level II.
 
The fair value of the Company’s derivative instrument assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, including both current and non-current portions, are categorized as follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, energy revenues include unrealized losses of $2 million and gains of $6 million attributed to derivatives in the Level III category that were still held at September 30, 2015 (2014 - gains of $2 million and nil).
 
A 10 per cent increase or decrease in commodity prices, with all other variables held constant, would result in a $2 million increase or decrease in the fair value of outstanding derivative instruments included in Level III as at September 30, 2015

12. Sale of GTN Pipeline to TC PipeLines, LP

On April 1, 2015, TransCanada completed the sale of its remaining 30 per cent interest in Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN) to TC PipeLines, LP for an aggregate purchase price of US$446 million plus a purchase price adjustment of US$11 million. Proceeds for the US$457 million sale were comprised of US$264 million in cash, the assumption of US$98 million in proportional GTN debt and US$95 million of new Class B units of TC PipeLines, LP.

13. Contingencies and guarantees
 
TransCanada and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

14. Restructuring costs
 
During 2015, TransCanada commenced a business restructuring and transformation initiative to reduce overall costs and maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of its existing operations. At September 30, 2015, TransCanada had incurred $36 million before tax, mainly related to severance costs, of which $20 million before tax was included in plant operating costs and other on the income statement, $8 million was capitalized to projects impacted by the restructuring and $8 million is recoverable through regulatory and tolling structures. The total restructuring charges will be determined once the scope of the expected changes is known, which is anticipated to occur in fourth quarter 2015. The Company expects further restructuring initiatives to be undertaken in fourth quarter 2015 and to continue into 2016.

15. Subsequent events
 
On October 6, 2015, TCPL completed an offering of $400 million, 4.55 per cent Medium Term Notes due November 15, 2041.

On October 8, 2015, TransCanada entered into an agreement to acquire the Ironwood natural gas fired, combined cycle power plant in Pennsylvania for US$654 million. At closing, US$42 million in debt will be assumed and repaid within 45 days of closing out of funds placed into escrow by the seller. The transaction is expected to close in first quarter 2016, subject to certain conditions being satisfied.
