CONVENTIONS
The terms "we", "our", "us" and "Enbridge" as used in this report refer collectively to Enbridge Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any separate legal entity within Enbridge.
Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, all references to "dollars" or "$" are to Canadian dollars and all references to "US$" are to United States (US) dollars. All amounts are provided on a before-tax basis, unless otherwise stated.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Forward-looking information, or forward-looking statements, have been included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to provide information about us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, including management’s assessment of our and our subsidiaries’ future plans and operations. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as ‘‘anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “intend”, “likely”, “plan”, “project”, “target” and similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. Forward-looking information or statements included or incorporated by reference in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the following: our corporate vision and strategy, including strategic priorities and enablers; expected supply of, demand for, exports of and prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL), liquified natural gas (LNG) and renewable energy; energy transition and lower-carbon energy, and our approach thereto; environmental, social and governance goals, practices and performance; industry and market conditions; anticipated utilization of our assets; dividend growth and payout policy; financial strength and flexibility; expectations on sources of liquidity and sufficiency of financial resources; expected strategic priorities and performance of the Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Midstream, Gas Distribution and Storage, Renewable Power Generation and Energy Services businesses; expected costs, benefits and in-service dates related to announced projects and projects under construction; expected capital expenditures; investable capacity and capital allocation priorities; share repurchases under our normal course issuer bid; expected equity funding requirements for our commercially secured growth program; expected future growth, development and expansion opportunities; expected optimization and efficiency opportunities; expectations about our joint venture partners’ ability to complete and finance projects under construction; expected closing of acquisitions and dispositions and the timing thereof; expected benefits of transactions; expected future actions of regulators and courts, and the timing and impact thereof; toll and rate cases discussions and proceedings and anticipated timeline and impact therefrom, including Mainline Tolling and those relating to the Gas Transmission and Midstream and Gas Distribution and Storage businesses; operational, industry, regulatory, climate change and other risks associated with our businesses; and our assessment of the potential impact of the various risk factors identified herein.
Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the date such statements are made and processes used to prepare the information, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions include assumptions about the following: the expected supply of, demand for, export of and prices of crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG and renewable energy; anticipated utilization of assets; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; availability and price of labor and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; operational reliability; maintenance of support and regulatory approvals for our projects; anticipated in-service dates; weather; the timing and closing of acquisitions and dispositions; the realization of anticipated benefits of transactions; governmental legislation; litigation; estimated future dividends and impact of our dividend policy on our future cash flows; our credit ratings; capital project funding; hedging program; expected earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); expected earnings/(loss); expected future cash flows; and expected distributable cash flow. Assumptions regarding the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG and renewable energy, and the prices of these commodities, are material to and underlie all forward-looking statements, as they may impact current and future levels of demand for our services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation and interest rates impact the economies and business environments in which we operate and may impact levels of demand for our services and cost of inputs, and are therefore inherent in all forward-looking statements. The most relevant assumptions associated with forward-looking statements regarding announced projects and projects under construction, including estimated completion dates and expected capital expenditures, include the following: the availability and price of labor and construction materials; the stability of
our supply chain; the effects of inflation and foreign exchange rates on labor and material costs; the effects of interest rates on borrowing costs; and the impact of weather and customer, government, court and regulatory approvals on construction and in-service schedules and cost recovery regimes.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the successful execution of our strategic priorities, operating performance; legislative and regulatory parameters; litigation; acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions and the realization of anticipated benefits therefrom; operational dependence on third parties; dividend policy; project approval and support; renewals of rights-of-way; weather; economic and competitive conditions; public opinion; changes in tax laws and tax rates; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; commodity prices; access to and cost of capital; political decisions; global geopolitical conditions; and the supply of, demand for and prices of commodities and other alternative energy, including but not limited to, those risks and uncertainties discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with Canadian and US securities regulators. The impact of any one assumption, risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and our future course of action depends on management’s assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Enbridge assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q makes reference to non-GAAP and other financial measures, including EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Management uses EBITDA to assess performance of Enbridge and to set targets. Management believes the presentation of EBITDA gives useful information to investors as it provides increased transparency and insight into the performance of Enbridge.
The non-GAAP and other financial measures are not measures that have a standardized meaning prescribed by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and are not US GAAP measures. Therefore, these measures may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of historical non-GAAP and other financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is set out in this MD&A and is available on our website. Additional information on non-GAAP and other financial measures may be found on our website, www.sedar.com or www.sec.gov.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Enbridge Inc. ("we", "our", "us" and "Enbridge") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and Regulation S-X for interim consolidated financial information. They do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those included in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Our operations and earnings for interim periods can be affected by seasonal fluctuations within the gas distribution utility businesses, as well as other factors such as supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and may not be indicative of annual results.
Certain comparative figures in our interim consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Contract receivables represent the amount of receivables derived from contracts with customers.
Contract assets represent the amount of revenue which has been recognized in advance of payments received for performance obligations we have fulfilled (or have partially fulfilled) and prior to the point in time at which our right to the payment is unconditional. Amounts included in contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when our right to the consideration becomes unconditional.
Contract liabilities represent payments received for performance obligations which have not been fulfilled. Contract liabilities primarily relate to make-up rights and deferred revenue. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $36 million. Increases in contract liabilities from cash received, net of amounts recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $124 million.
Performance Obligations
There was no material revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.
Revenue to be Recognized from Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
Total revenue from performance obligations expected to be fulfilled in future periods is $60.0 billion, of which $6.0 billion and $6.7 billion are expected to be recognized during the remaining nine months ending December 31, 2023 and the year ending December 31, 2024, respectively.
The revenues excluded from the amounts above, based on optional exemptions available under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, as explained below, represent a significant portion of our overall revenues and revenues from contracts with customers. Certain revenues such as flow-through operating costs charged to shippers are recognized at the amount for which we have the right to invoice our customers and are excluded from the amounts for revenue to be recognized in the future from unfulfilled performance obligations above. Variable consideration is excluded from the amounts above due to the uncertainty of the associated consideration, which is generally resolved when actual volumes and prices are determined. For example, we consider interruptible transportation service revenues to be variable revenues since volumes cannot be estimated. Additionally, the effect of escalation on certain tolls which are contractually escalated for inflation has not been reflected in the amounts above as it is not possible to reliably estimate future inflation rates. Revenues for periods extending beyond the current rate settlement term for regulated contracts where the tolls are periodically reset by the regulator are excluded from the amounts above since future tolls remain unknown. Finally, revenues from contracts with customers which have an original expected duration of one year or less are excluded from the amounts above.
Variable Consideration
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue for the Canadian Mainline has been recognized in accordance with the terms of the Competitive Tolling Settlement, which expired on June 30, 2021. The tolls in place on June 30, 2021 continue on an interim basis until a new commercial arrangement is implemented and are subject to finalization and adjustment applicable to the interim period, if any. Due to the uncertainty of adjustment to tolling pursuant to a Canada Energy Regulator (CER) decision, interim toll revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 is considered variable consideration.

4. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
BASIC
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
DILUTED
The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive impact of stock options and RSUs. This method assumes any proceeds from the exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
Weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three months ended March 31, |
| | | | 2023 | 2022 |
(number of shares in millions) | | | | | |
Weighted average shares outstanding | | | | 2,025 | | 2,026 | |
Effect of dilutive options and RSUs | | | | 3 | | 3 | |
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | | | | 2,028 | | 2,029 | |
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 16.7 million and 12.9 million, respectively, of anti-dilutive stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $55.62 and $56.09, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per common share calculation.
DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

7. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
MARKET RISK
Our earnings, cash flows and other comprehensive income/(loss) (OCI) are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and our share price (collectively, market risks). Formal risk management policies, processes and systems have been designed to mitigate these risks.
The following summarizes the types of market risks to which we are exposed and the risk management instruments used to mitigate them. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage the risks noted below.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We generate certain revenues, incur expenses and hold a number of investments and subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. As a result, our earnings, cash flows and OCI are exposed to fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variability.
We employ financial derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency denominated earnings exposure. A combination of qualifying cash flow, fair value and non-qualifying derivative instruments is used to hedge anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses and to manage variability in cash flows. We hedge certain net investments in United States (US) dollar-denominated investments and subsidiaries using foreign currency derivatives and US dollar-denominated debt.
The foreign exchange risks inherent within the Competitive Toll Settlement framework are not expected to be present in the negotiated settlement. Accordingly, our foreign exchange hedging program related to the Canadian Mainline will no longer be required, and the related derivatives were terminated in the first quarter of 2023 for a realized loss of $638 million.
Interest Rate Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to short-term interest rate variability due to the regular repricing of our variable rate debt, primarily commercial paper. We monitor our debt portfolio mix of fixed and variable rate debt instruments to manage a consolidated portfolio of floating rate debt within the Board of Directors' approved policy limit of a maximum of 30% of floating rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. We primarily use qualifying derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk. Pay fixed-receive floating interest rate swaps may be used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have implemented a hedging program to partially mitigate the impact of short-term interest rate volatility on interest expense via the execution of floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. These hedges have an average fixed rate of 4.1%.
On March 8, 2023, we issued US$700 million three-year fixed rate notes which includes the right for us to call at par after the first year. A corresponding fix-to-floating cancellable swap was also executed which gives the swap counterparty a similar right to cancel the swap after the first year. This swap has a fixed rate of 6.0%. This instrument is our only pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swap outstanding as at March 31, 2023.
Our earnings and cash flows are also exposed to variability in longer term interest rates ahead of anticipated fixed rate term debt issuances. Forward starting interest rate swaps are used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have established a program including some of our subsidiaries to partially mitigate our exposure to long-term interest rate variability on forecasted term debt issuances via the execution of floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 2.5%.
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to changes in commodity prices as a result of our ownership interests in certain assets and investments, as well as through the activities of our energy services subsidiaries. These commodities include natural gas, crude oil, power and natural gas liquids (NGL). We employ financial and physical derivative instruments to fix a portion of the variable price exposures that arise from physical transactions involving these commodities. We use primarily non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the risk of earnings fluctuations due to changes in our share price. We have exposure to our own common share price through the issuance of various forms of stock-based compensation, which affect earnings through the revaluation of outstanding units every period. We use equity derivatives to manage the earnings volatility derived from one form of stock-based compensation, RSUs. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage equity price risk.
TOTAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
We generally have a policy of entering into individual International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) agreements, or other similar derivative agreements, with the majority of our financial derivative counterparties. These agreements provide for the net settlement of derivative instruments outstanding with specific counterparties in the event of bankruptcy or other significant credit events and reduce our credit risk exposure on financial derivative asset positions outstanding with the counterparties in those circumstances.
The following table summarizes the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position location and carrying value of our derivative instruments, as well as the maximum potential settlement amounts, in the event of the specific circumstances described above. All amounts are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Fair Value Derivatives
For foreign exchange derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is included in Other income or Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is included in Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Any excluded components are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

We estimate that a gain of $20 million from AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months. Actual amounts reclassified to earnings depend on the foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices in effect when derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature. For all forecasted transactions, the maximum term over which we are hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows is 33 months as at March 31, 2023.

LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations, including commitments and guarantees, as they become due. In order to mitigate this risk, we forecast cash requirements over a 12-month rolling time period to determine whether sufficient funds will be available and maintain substantial capacity under our committed bank lines of credit to address any contingencies. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are funds generated from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and draws under committed credit facilities and long-term debt, which includes debentures and medium-term notes. Our shelf prospectuses with securities regulators enable ready access to either the Canadian or US public capital markets, subject to market conditions. In addition, we maintain sufficient liquidity through committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and institutions which, if necessary, enables us to fund all anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets. We were in compliance with all the terms and conditions of our committed credit facility agreements and term debt indentures as at March 31, 2023. As a result, all credit facilities are available to us and the banks are obligated to fund us under the terms of the facilities.
CREDIT RISK
Entering into derivative instruments may result in exposure to credit risk from the possibility that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations. In order to mitigate this risk, we enter into risk management transactions primarily with institutions that possess strong investment grade credit ratings. Credit risk relating to derivative counterparties is mitigated through the maintenance and monitoring of credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, netting arrangements and ongoing monitoring of counterparty credit exposure using external credit rating services and other analytical tools.
We have credit concentrations and credit exposure, with respect to derivative instruments, in the following counterparty segments:
| | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 |
(millions of Canadian dollars) | | |

Other1 | 88 | | 105 | |
| 949 | | 1,584 | |
1Other is comprised of commodity clearing house and physical natural gas and crude oil counterparties.
As at March 31, 2023, we did not provide any letters of credit in lieu of providing cash collateral to our counterparties pursuant to the terms of the relevant ISDA agreements. We held no cash collateral on derivative asset exposures as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Gross derivative balances have been presented without the effects of collateral posted. Derivative assets are adjusted for non-performance risk of our counterparties using their credit default swap spread rates and are reflected at fair value. For derivative liabilities, our non-performance risk is considered in the valuation.
Credit risk also arises from trade and other long-term receivables, and is mitigated through credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, the assessment of credit ratings and netting arrangements. Within Enbridge Gas, credit risk is mitigated by the utility's large and diversified customer base and the ability to recover an estimate for expected credit losses through the ratemaking process. We actively monitor the financial strength of large industrial customers and, in select cases, have obtained additional security to minimize the risk of default on receivables. Generally, we utilize a loss allowance matrix which contemplates historical credit losses by age of receivables, adjusted for any forward-looking information and management expectations to measure lifetime expected credit losses of receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk related to non-derivative financial assets is their carrying value.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivatives and other financial instruments. We also disclose the fair value of other financial instruments not measured at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments reflects our best estimates of market value based on generally accepted valuation techniques or models and is supported by observable market prices and rates. When such values are not available, we use discounted cash flow analysis from applicable yield curves based on observable market inputs to estimate fair value.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We categorize our financial instruments measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement.
Level 1
Level 1 includes financial instruments measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. An active market for a financial instrument is considered to be a market where transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Our Level 1 instruments consist primarily of exchange-traded derivatives used to mitigate the risk of crude oil price fluctuations, US and Canadian treasury bills, investments in exchange-traded equity funds held by our captive insurance subsidiaries, as well as restricted long-term investments in Canadian equity securities that are held in trust in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements under the Land Matters Consultation Initiative (LMCI).
Level 2
Level 2 includes financial instrument valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Financial instruments in this category are valued using models or other industry standard valuation techniques derived from observable market data. Such valuation techniques include inputs such as quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors and broker quotes that can be observed or corroborated in the market for the entire duration of the financial instrument. Derivatives valued using Level 2 inputs include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts, interest rate swaps, physical forward commodity contracts, as well as commodity swaps and options for which observable inputs can be obtained.
We have also categorized the fair value of our long-term debt, investments in debt securities held by our captive insurance subsidiaries, and restricted long-term investments in Canadian government bonds held in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements under the LMCI as Level 2. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for instruments of similar yield, credit risk and tenor. When possible, the fair value of our restricted long-term investments is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and, if not available, based on broker quotes.
Level 3
Level 3 includes derivative valuations based on inputs which are less observable, unavailable or where the observable data does not support a significant portion of the derivatives' fair value. Generally, Level 3 derivatives are longer dated transactions, occur in less active markets, occur at locations where pricing information is not available or have no binding broker quote to support Level 2 classification. We have developed methodologies, benchmarked against industry standards, to determine fair value for these derivatives based on the extrapolation of observable future prices and rates. Derivatives valued using Level 3 inputs primarily include long-dated derivative power, NGL and natural gas contracts, basis swaps, commodity swaps, and power and energy swaps, as well as physical forward commodity contracts. We do not have any other financial instruments categorized in Level 3.
We use the most observable inputs available to estimate the fair value of our derivatives. When possible, we estimate the fair value of our derivatives based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, we use estimates from third party brokers. For non-exchange traded derivatives classified in Levels 2 and 3, we use standard valuation techniques to calculate the estimated fair value. These methods include discounted cash flows for forwards and swaps and Black-Scholes-Merton pricing models for options. Depending on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying risk, we use observable market prices (interest, foreign exchange, commodity and share price) and volatility as primary inputs to these valuation techniques. Finally, we consider our own credit default swap spread, as well as the credit default swap spreads associated with our counterparties, in our estimation of fair value.

If adjusted, the significant unobservable inputs disclosed in the table above would have a direct impact on the fair value of our Level 3 derivative instruments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 derivative instruments include forward commodity prices. Changes in forward commodity prices could result in significantly different fair values for our Level 3 derivatives.
Changes in net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 as at March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
NET INVESTMENT HEDGES
We currently have designated a portion of our US dollar-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment in US dollar-denominated investments and subsidiaries.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized unrealized foreign exchange gains of $59 million and $133 million, respectively, on the translation of US dollar-denominated debt, in OCI. No unrealized gains or losses on the change in fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts were recognized in OCI during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. No realized gains or losses associated with the settlement of foreign exchange forward contracts were recognized in OCI during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized a realized loss of $44 million and nil, respectively, associated with the settlement of US dollar-denominated debt that had matured during the period, in OCI.
FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Certain long-term investments in other entities with no actively quoted prices are classified as Fair Value Measurement Alternative (FVMA) investments and are recorded at cost less impairment. The carrying value of FVMA investments totaled $209 million and $102 million as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
As at March 31, 2023, we had investments with a fair value of $646 million included in Restricted long-term investments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (December 31, 2022 - $593 million). These securities are classified as available-for-sale and represent restricted funds which are collected from customers and held in trust for the purpose of funding pipeline abandonment in accordance with the CER's regulatory requirements.
We had restricted long-term investments held in trust totaling $249 million as at March 31, 2023, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (December 31, 2022 - $236 million). We also had restricted long-term investments held in trust totaling $397 million (cost basis - $451 million) and $357 million (cost basis - $437 million) as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There were unrealized holding gains of $34 million on these investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (2022 - losses of $60 million).
We have wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries whose principal activity is providing insurance and reinsurance coverage for certain insurable property and casualty risk exposures of our operating subsidiaries and certain equity investments. As at March 31, 2023, the fair value of investments in equity funds and debt securities held by our captive insurance subsidiaries was $351 million and $309 million, respectively (December 31, 2022 - $335 million and $298 million, respectively). Our investments in debt securities had a cost basis of $303 million as at March 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $295 million). These investments in equity funds and debt securities are recognized at fair value, classified as Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, respectively, and are recorded in Other current assets and Long-term investments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. There were unrealized holding gains of $15 million and losses of $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our long-term debt had a carrying value of $79.5 billion and $79.3 billion, respectively, before debt issuance costs and a fair value of $74.9 billion and $73.5 billion, respectively. We also have non-current notes receivable carried at book value and recorded in Deferred amounts and other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the non-current notes receivable had a carrying value of $691 million and $752 million, respectively, which also approximates their fair value.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities other than derivative instruments, long-term investments, restricted long-term investments, long-term debt and non-current notes receivable described above approximate their carrying value due to the short period to maturity.
8. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 21.5% and 22.4%, respectively.
The period-over-period decrease in the effective income tax rate is due to higher investment tax credits available on certain capital projects in the US, and the effects of rate-regulated accounting for income taxes relative to earnings.

10. CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
We and our subsidiaries are subject to various legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges to regulatory approvals and permits. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial position or results of operations.
TAX MATTERS
We and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, if challenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.
INSURANCE
We maintain a comprehensive insurance program for us, our operating subsidiaries and certain equity investments. This program includes insurance coverage in types and amounts and is subject to certain deductibles, terms, exclusions and conditions that are generally consistent with coverage considered customary for our industry, however insurance does not cover all events in all circumstances. We self-insure a significant portion of expected losses relating to certain insurance property and casualty risk exposures in the US and Canada through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries.
In the unlikely event multiple insurable incidents occur which exceed coverage limits within the same insurance period, the total insurance coverage will be allocated among entities on an equitable basis based on an insurance allocation agreement we have entered into with us and other subsidiaries. Insurance estimates include certain assumptions and management judgments regarding the frequency and severity of claims, claim development and settlement practices and the selection of estimated loss among estimates derived using different methods.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
TRES PALACIOS HOLDINGS LLC
On April 3, 2023, we acquired Tres Palacios Holdings LLC (Tres Palacios) for US$335 million of cash, subject to customary closing adjustments. Tres Palacios is a natural gas storage facility located in the US Gulf Coast and its infrastructure serves Texas gas-fired power generation and liquefied natural gas exports, as well as Mexico pipeline exports.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on and should be read in conjunction with our interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
We continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer for purposes of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as determined annually as of the end of our second fiscal quarter. We intend to continue to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K with the United States (US) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers. We also intend to maintain our Form S-3 registration statements.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
MAINLINE TOLLING AGREEMENT
Enbridge Inc. (Enbridge) has reached an agreement in principle on a negotiated settlement (the settlement) with shippers for tolls on its Mainline pipeline system. The settlement covers both the Canadian and US portions of the Mainline and would see the Mainline continuing to operate as a common carrier system available to all shippers on a monthly nomination basis. The settlement is subject to regulatory and other approvals and the term is seven and a half years through the end of 2028, with new interim tolls to take effect on July 1, 2023.
The settlement will include:
•an International Joint Toll (IJT), for heavy crude oil movements from Hardisty to Chicago, comprised of a Canadian Mainline Toll of $1.65 per barrel plus a Lakehead System Toll of US$2.57 per barrel, plus the applicable Line 3 Replacement surcharge;
•toll escalation for operation, administration, and power costs tied to US consumer price and power indices;
•tolls will continue to be distance and commodity adjusted, and will utilize a dual currency IJT; and
•a financial performance collar providing incentives for Enbridge to optimize throughput and cost, but also providing downside protection in the event of extreme supply or demand disruptions or unforeseen operating cost exposure. This performance collar is intended to ensure the Mainline will earn 11% to 14.5% returns, on a deemed 50% equity capitalization, which is similar to the returns earned on average during the previous tolling agreement.
Approximately 70% of Mainline deliveries are tolled under this settlement, while approximately 30% of deliveries are tolled on a full path basis to markets downstream of the Mainline. The other continuing feature is that the Mainline toll will flex up or down US$0.035 per barrel for 50,000 barrel per day changes in throughput.
The expected financial outcome from this settlement is in line with previously reported financial results after taking into consideration the previously recognized provision, inflationary cost adjustments and increased volumes.
As part of the settlement, Enbridge will be settling its previously filed Lakehead cost of service application, currently before the US' Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
ACQUISITIONS
Tres Palacios Holdings LLC
On April 3, 2023, we acquired Tres Palacios Holdings LLC (Tres Palacios) for US$335 million of cash, subject to customary closing adjustments. Tres Palacios is a natural gas storage facility located in the US Gulf Coast and its infrastructure serves Texas gas-fired power generation and liquefied natural gas exports, as well as Mexico pipeline exports. Tres Palacios is comprised of three natural gas storage salt caverns with a total FERC-certificated working gas capacity of approximately 35 billion cubic feet (Bcf) and also owns an integrated 62-mile natural gas header pipeline system, with eleven inter- and intrastate natural gas pipeline connections.
Aitken Creek Gas Storage
On May 1, 2023, we announced that Enbridge has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 93.8% interest in Aitken Creek Gas Storage Facility and a 100% interest in Aitken Creek North Gas Storage Facility (collectively, Aitken Creek) for $400 million of cash plus payment for derivative contracts and gas inventory, subject to other customary closing adjustments. Aitken Creek is a natural gas storage facility located in British Columbia, Canada with a working gas capacity of approximately 77 Bcf. The transaction is expected to close later in 2023, subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAM RATE PROCEEDINGS
Texas Eastern Transmission
The Stipulation and Agreement for Texas Eastern Transmission, LP’s (Texas Eastern) consolidated 2021 rate cases was approved by the FERC on November 30, 2022, and became effective on January 1, 2023. Texas Eastern received FERC approval on April 3, 2023 to implement the settled rates and other settlement provisions.
Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline
The current toll settlement agreement for the Canadian portion of Maritimes & Northeast (M&N) Pipeline expires in December 2023. Settlement negotiations with M&N Pipeline shippers are planned throughout 2023 with the objective of reaching a toll settlement which would be effective January 1, 2024. It is expected that a settlement agreement will be filed in the fourth quarter of 2023 with the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) for review and approval. A CER decision is expected in the first quarter of 2024.
GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE RATE APPLICATIONS
Incentive Regulation Rate Application
In October 2022, Enbridge Gas Inc. (Enbridge Gas) filed its application with the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to establish a 2024 through 2028 Incentive Regulation (IR) rate setting framework. The application and framework seeks approval in two phases to establish 2024 base rates (Phase 1) on a cost-of-service basis and to establish a price cap rate setting mechanism (Phase 2) to be used for the remainder of the IR term (2025 – 2028). An OEB decision is expected on Phase 1 of the application in the second half of 2023.
Purchase Gas Variance
The Purchase Gas Variance Account (PGVA) captures the difference between actual and forecasted natural gas prices reflected in rates. Account balances are typically recovered or refunded over a prospective 12-month period through Quarterly Rate Adjustment Mechanism (QRAM) applications.
In March 2023, the April 1, 2023 QRAM application was filed and approved by the OEB, which included an adjustment to the prior mitigation approved as part of the July 1, 2022 QRAM. The recovery of the outstanding PGVA balance from the extended recovery period approved as part of the July 1, 2022 QRAM will now be completed by March 31, 2024.
As at March 31, 2023, Enbridge Gas' PGVA receivable balance was $287 million.
FINANCING UPDATE
In March 2023, we closed a two-tranche US debt offering consisting of three-year senior notes, callable at par after one year at our option, and 10-year sustainability-linked senior notes, for an aggregate principal amount of US$3.0 billion. Each tranche is payable semi-annually in arrears and matures in March 2026 and March 2033, respectively.
In March 2023, Enbridge Gas increased its 364-day extendible credit facility from $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion.
On April 15, 2023 call date, we redeemed at par all of the outstanding US$600 million five-year callable, 6.38% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that carried an original maturity date of April 2078.
These financing activities, in combination with the financing activities executed in 2022, provide significant liquidity that we expect will enable us to fund our current portfolio of capital projects and other operating working capital requirements without requiring access to the capital markets for the next 12 months, should market access be restricted or pricing be unattractive. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As at March 31, 2023, after adjusting for the impact of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap hedges, less than 5% of our total debt is exposed to floating rates. Refer to Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 7 - Risk Management and Financial Instruments for more information on our interest rate hedging program.

EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS
Three months ended March 31, 2023, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022
Earnings attributable to common shareholders were negatively impacted by $215 million due to certain infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by the following:
•a realized loss of $638 million ($479 million after-tax) due to termination of foreign exchange hedges, reflecting changes in the key settlement terms under the Competitive Toll Settlement (CTS); partially offset by
•a non-cash, net unrealized derivative fair value gain of $532 million ($399 million after-tax) in 2023, compared to a net gain of $433 million ($331 million after-tax) in 2022, reflecting changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange risks;
•a non-cash, net positive equity earnings adjustment of $8 million ($6 million after-tax) in 2023, compared to a net negative adjustment of $63 million ($47 million after-tax) in 2022 relating to our share of changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments of our equity method investee, DCP Midstream, LP (DCP);
•the receipt of a litigation claim settlement of $68 million ($52 million after-tax) in 2023;
•the absence of a $44 million ($33 million after-tax) impairment of lease assets in 2022;
•a non-cash, net unrealized gain of $8 million ($6 million after-tax) in 2023, compared to a net loss of $21 million ($16 million after-tax) in 2022, reflecting the revaluation of derivatives used to manage the profitability of transportation and storage transactions, as well as manage the exposure to movements in commodity prices; and
•a net unrealized gain of $13 million ($11 million after-tax) in 2023, reflecting changes in the mark-to-market value of equity fund investments held by our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries.
The non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value gains and losses discussed above generally arise as a result of our comprehensive economic hedging program to mitigate foreign exchange and commodity price risks. This program creates volatility in reported short-term earnings through the recognition of unrealized non-cash gains and losses on derivative instruments used to hedge these risks. Over the long-term, we believe our hedging program supports the reliable cash flows and dividend growth upon which our investor value proposition is based.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $21 million increase in earnings attributable to common shareholders is primarily explained by:
•higher contributions from our Liquids Pipelines segment due to increased ownership of the Gray Oak Pipeline and Cactus II Pipeline acquired in the second half of 2022 and higher volumes from the Flanagan South Pipeline;
•higher contributions from Mainline System and Line 9 in our Liquids Pipelines segment driven by increased crude demand, net of a lower Line 3 Replacement (L3R) surcharge and the recognition of a higher provision against the interim Mainline IJT;
•recognition of revenues in our Gas Transmission and Midstream segment attributable to the Texas Eastern rate case settlement, which we did not begin recognizing until the second half of 2022; and
•the favorable effect of translating US dollar earnings at a higher average exchange rate in 2023 compared to the same period in 2022; partially offset by
•a reduction in earnings from our Gas Transmission and Midstream segment primarily due to our decreased interest in DCP as a result of a joint venture merger transaction with Phillips 66 that closed in the third quarter in 2022;
•lower commodity prices impacting the DCP and Aux Sable Canada LP, Aux Sable Liquid Products LP and Aux Sable Midstream LLC (collectively, Aux Sable) joint ventures in our Gas Transmission and Midstream segment; and
•higher Interest expense primarily due to higher interest rates and higher average principal.

EBITDA was negatively impacted by $103 million due to certain infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by:
•a realized loss of $638 million due to termination of foreign exchange hedges, reflecting changes in the key settlement terms under the CTS; partially offset by
•a non-cash, net unrealized gain of $613 million in 2023, compared with a net gain of $122 million in 2022, reflecting changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange risks; and
•the receipt of a litigation claim settlement of $68 million in 2023.
After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $137 million increase is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
•higher contributions from the Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent Systems due primarily to increased ownership of the Gray Oak Pipeline and Cactus II Pipeline acquired in the second half of 2022 and higher volumes from the Flanagan South Pipeline;
•higher Mainline System ex-Gretna average throughput of 3.1 million barrels per day (mmbpd) in 2023 as compared to 3.0 mmbpd in 2022, and higher Line 9 deliveries to eastern Canada driven by increased crude demand, net of a lower L3R surcharge and the recognition of a higher provision against the interim Mainline IJT;
•higher contributions from certain Bakken pipelines due to higher volumes; and
•favorable effect of translating US dollar earnings at a higher average exchange rate in 2023 compared to the same period in 2022; partially offset by
•lower contribution from Seaway Crude Pipeline System due to lower volumes in 2023 and higher expiration of customer make-up rights in the same period of 2022; and
•higher power costs as a result of increased volumes and power prices.

Eliminations and Other includes operating and administrative costs that are not allocated to business segments, and the impact of foreign exchange hedge settlements and the activities of our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries. Eliminations and Other also includes the impact of new business development activities and corporate investments.
Three months ended March 31, 2023, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022
EBITDA was negatively impacted by $316 million due to certain infrequent or non-operating factors, primarily explained by:

A full description of each of our projects is provided in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. No significant updates have occurred since the date of filing of our Form 10-K.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The maintenance of financial strength and flexibility is fundamental to our growth strategy, particularly in light of the significant number and size of capital projects currently secured or under development. Access to timely funding from capital markets could be limited by factors outside our control, including but not limited to financial market volatility resulting from economic and political events both inside and outside North America. To mitigate such risks, we actively manage financial plans and strategies to help ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity to meet routine operating and future capital requirements.
In the near term, we generally expect to utilize cash from operations together with commercial paper issuance and/or credit facility draws and the proceeds of capital market offerings to fund liabilities as they become due, finance capital expenditures, fund debt retirements, share redemptions, execute share repurchases under our normal course issuer bid (NCIB) and pay common and preference share dividends. We target to maintain sufficient liquidity through securement of committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and financial institutions to enable us to fund all anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets.
We have signed capital obligation contracts for the purchase of services, pipe and other materials totaling approximately $881 million, which are expected to be paid over the next four years.
Our financing plan is regularly updated to reflect evolving capital requirements and financial market conditions and identifies a variety of potential sources of debt and equity funding alternatives. Our current financing plan does not include any issuances of additional common equity.
CAPITAL MARKET ACCESS
We ensure ready access to capital markets, subject to market conditions, through maintenance of shelf prospectuses that allow for issuance of long-term debt, equity and other forms of long-term capital when market conditions are attractive.
Credit Facilities and Liquidity
To ensure ongoing liquidity and to mitigate the risk of capital market disruption, we maintain ready access to funds through committed bank credit facilities and actively manage our bank funding sources to optimize pricing and other terms. The following table provides details of our committed credit facilities as at March 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Maturity1 | Total Facilities | Draws2 | Available |
(millions of Canadian dollars) | | | | |
Enbridge Inc. | 2023-2027 | 9,623 | | 7,053 | | 2,570 | |

In March 2023, Enbridge Gas increased its 364-day extendible credit facility from $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion.
In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $1.3 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $720 million was unutilized as at March 31, 2023. As at December 31, 2022, we had $1.3 billion of uncommitted demand letter of credit facilities, of which $689 million was unutilized.
As at March 31, 2023, our net available liquidity totaled $12.6 billion (December 31, 2022 - $10.0 billion), consisting of available credit facilities of $11.6 billion (December 31, 2022 - $9.1 billion) and was inclusive of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $976 million (December 31, 2022 - $861 million) as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Our credit facility agreements and term debt indentures include standard events of default and covenant provisions whereby accelerated repayment and/or termination of the agreements may result if we are to default on payment or violate certain covenants. As at March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenant provisions.

If the target is not met, on September 8, 2031, the interest rate will be set to equal 5.70% plus a margin of 50 basis points.
2We have the option to call the notes at par after one year from issuance. Refer to Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 7 - Risk Management and Financial Instruments.
LONG-TERM DEBT REPAYMENTS
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we completed the following long-term debt repayments totaling US$513 million and $275 million:

1The notes carried an interest rate set to equal the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin of 40 basis points.
On the April 15, 2023 call date, we redeemed at par all of the outstanding US$600 million five-year callable, 6.38% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that carried an original maturity date of April 2078.
Strong internal cash flow, ready access to liquidity from diversified sources and a stable business model have enabled us to manage our credit profile. We actively monitor and manage key financial metrics with the objective of sustaining investment grade credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and ongoing access to bank funding and term debt capital on attractive terms. Key measures of financial strength that are closely managed include the ability to service debt obligations from operating cash flow and the ratio of debt to EBITDA.
There are no material restrictions on our cash. Total restricted cash of $75 million, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, primarily includes reinsurance security, cash collateral, future pipeline abandonment costs collected and held in trust, amounts received in respect of specific shipper commitments and capital projects. Cash and cash equivalents held by certain subsidiaries may not be readily accessible for alternative uses by us.
Excluding current maturities of long-term debt, as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had positive and negative working capital positions of $576 million and $2.1 billion, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the major contributing factor to the positive working capital position was due to settlement of current liabilities, while during the year ended December 31, 2022, the negative working capital position was due to current liabilities associated with our growth capital program. We maintain significant liquidity in the form of committed credit facilities and other sources as previously discussed, which enable the funding of liabilities as they become due.
SOURCES AND USES OF CASH
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three months ended March 31, |
| | | | 2023 | 2022 |
(millions of Canadian dollars) | | | | | |
Operating activities | | | | 3,866 | | 2,939 | |
Investing activities | | | | (1,437) | | (1,318) | |
Financing activities | | | | (2,289) | | (1,483) | |
Effect of translation of foreign denominated cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | | | | 4 | | (4) | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | | | | 144 | | 134 | |
Significant sources and uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are summarized below:
Operating Activities
Typically, the primary factors impacting cash flow from operating activities period-over-period include changes in our operating assets and liabilities in the normal course due to various factors, including the impact of fluctuations in commodity prices and activity levels on working capital within our business segments, the timing of tax payments, as well as timing of cash receipts and payments generally. Cash provided by operating activities is also impacted by changes in earnings and certain infrequent or other non-operating factors, as discussed in Results of Operations.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to capital expenditures to execute our capital program, which is further described in Growth Projects - Commercially Secured Projects. The timing of project approval, construction and in-service dates impacts the timing of cash requirements. The increase in cash used in investing activities period-over-period was also due to the acquisition of an additional 10.0% ownership in the Gray Oak Pipeline, partially offset by net receipts of long-term notes receivable from affiliates, in the first quarter of 2023.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities primarily relates to issuances and repayments of external debt, as well as transactions with our common and preference shareholders relating to dividends, share issuances, share redemptions and common share repurchases under our NCIB. Cash flow from financing activities is also impacted by changes in distributions to, and contributions from, noncontrolling interests. Factors impacting the increase in cash used in financing activities period-over-period primarily include:
•higher net commercial paper and credit facility repayments in 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022;
•net repayments of short-term borrowings in 2023 when compared to net issuances during the same period in 2022; and
•common share dividend payments increased period-over-period primarily due to the increase in our common share dividend rate.
The factors above were partially offset by:
•higher long-term debt issuances in 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022, as well as lower repayments of long-term debt made during the first quarter of 2023; and
•the absence in 2023 of the redemption of Preference Shares, Series 17 and the repurchase and cancellation of 950,024 common shares under our NCIB for approximately $50 million in the first quarter of 2022.
SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On January 22, 2019, Enbridge entered into supplemental indentures with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Spectra Energy Partners, LP (SEP) and Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (EEP) (the Partnerships), pursuant to which Enbridge fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the payment obligations of the Partnerships with respect to the outstanding series of notes issued under the respective indentures of the Partnerships. Concurrently, the Partnerships entered into a subsidiary guarantee agreement pursuant to which they fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the outstanding series of senior notes of Enbridge. The Partnerships have also entered into supplemental indentures with Enbridge pursuant to which the Partnerships have issued full and unconditional guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis, of senior notes issued by Enbridge subsequent to January 22, 2019. As a result of the guarantees, holders of any of the outstanding guaranteed notes of the Partnerships (the Guaranteed Partnership Notes) are in the same position with respect to the net assets, income and cash flows of Enbridge as holders of Enbridge's outstanding guaranteed notes (the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes), and vice versa. Other than the Partnerships, Enbridge subsidiaries (including the subsidiaries of the Partnerships, collectively, the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors), are not parties to the subsidiary guarantee agreement and have not otherwise guaranteed any of Enbridge's outstanding series of senior notes.

The Guaranteed Enbridge Notes and the Guaranteed Partnership Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness of the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors in respect of the assets of those Subsidiary Non-Guarantors.
Under US bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee can be voided, or claims may be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee or, in some states, when payments become due under the guarantee:
•received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee and was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;
•was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
•intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.
The guarantees of the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes contain provisions to limit the maximum amount of liability that the Partnerships could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under the guarantee to be a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under US federal or state law.
Each of the Partnerships is entitled to a right of contribution from the other Partnership for 50% of all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Partnership in discharging its obligations under the guarantees for the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes.
Under the terms of the guarantee agreement and applicable supplemental indentures, the guarantees of either of the Partnerships of any Guaranteed Enbridge Notes will be unconditionally released and discharged automatically upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
•any direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger, sale or transfer of equity interests or otherwise, to any person that is not an affiliate of Enbridge, of any of Enbridge’s direct or indirect limited partnership of other equity interests in that Partnership as a result of which the Partnership ceases to be a consolidated subsidiary of Enbridge;
•the merger of that Partnership into Enbridge or the other Partnership or the liquidation and dissolution of that Partnership;
•the repayment in full or discharge or defeasance of those Guaranteed Enbridge Notes, as contemplated by the applicable indenture or guarantee agreement;
•with respect to EEP, the repayment in full or discharge or defeasance of each of the consenting EEP notes listed above;
•with respect to SEP, the repayment in full or discharge or defeasance of each of the consenting SEP notes listed above; or
•with respect to any series of Guaranteed Enbridge Notes, with the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of that series of Guaranteed Enbridge Notes.
The guarantee obligations of Enbridge will terminate with respect to any series of Guaranteed Partnership Notes if that series is discharged or defeased.
The Partnerships also guarantee the obligations of Enbridge under its existing credit facilities.
LEGAL AND OTHER UPDATES
Michigan Line 5 Dual Pipelines - Straits of Mackinac Easement
In 2019, the Michigan Attorney General (AG) filed a complaint in the Michigan Ingham County Circuit Court (the Circuit Court) that requests the Circuit Court to declare the easement granted in 1953 that we have for the operation of Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac (the Straits) to be invalid and to prohibit continued operation of Line 5 in the Straits. On December 15, 2021, we removed the case to the US District Court in the Western District of Michigan (US District Court), where it was assigned to Judge Janet T. Neff. The removal of the AG’s case to federal court follows a November 16, 2021 ruling which held that the similar (and now dismissed) 2020 lawsuit brought by the Governor of Michigan to force Line 5’s shutdown raised important federal issues that should be heard in federal court. On December 21, 2021, the AG made a request to file a remand motion and on December 28, 2021, we responded to her request to file that motion. On January 5, 2022, the court issued an Order allowing the AG to file a motion to remand the 2019 case. The motion was fully briefed in March 2022. On August 18, 2022, Judge Neff denied the AG’s motion to remand and on August 30, 2022, the AG filed a motion to certify the August 18 Order, in order to pursue an appeal on the jurisdictional issue and Enbridge opposed that motion. On February 21, 2023, the Court granted the AG’s motion to certify the August 18, 2022 Order. On March 2, 2023, the AG filed her Petition for Permission to Appeal in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. Enbridge’s Response was filed on March 13, 2023. We anticipate a response from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals within the next few months. In the meantime, this case will remain on hold in US District Court. If the Court of Appeals hears the appeal, it will likely take 12-18 months for briefing a decision.
On May 21, 2021, the District Court dismissed the plaintiff Tribes’ request for an injunction enjoining Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) from operating until the Army Corps has completed its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The right of the plaintiff Tribes to appeal the denial of the injunction request expired on July 20, 2021. The Army Corps earlier indicated that it did not intend, at that time, to exercise its authority to bar DAPL’s continued operation, notwithstanding the absence of an easement and that it anticipates completion of the EIS process.
On July 22, 2021, the Army Corps filed a notice with the District Court advising that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a notice asserting violations of federal safety regulations resulting from the operation of DAPL. The Army Corps stated that it would consider PHMSA’s notice as part of its ongoing consideration of whether and how the Army Corps will enforce its rights on property crossed by the pipeline and in the context of the ongoing EIS. The Army Corps also granted the request from the Tribes to extend the draft EIS completion date to September 2022. The Army Corps now expects to complete the draft EIS in the spring of 2023.
OTHER LITIGATION
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various other legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges to regulatory approvals and permits. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
TAX MATTERS
We and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, if challenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk is described in Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We believe our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since then.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as at March 31, 2023, and based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file with or submit to the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated changes in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 and found no change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Refer to Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Legal and Other Updates for discussion of other legal proceedings.
SEC regulations require the disclosure of any proceeding under environmental laws to which a governmental authority is a party unless the registrant reasonably believes it will not result in monetary sanctions over a certain threshold. Given the size of our operations, we have elected to use a threshold of US$1 million for the purposes of determining proceedings requiring disclosure.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which could materially affect our financial condition or future results. There have been no material modifications to those risk factors.
