FIRST QUARTER 2020

Notes to Condensed consolidated financial statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation
These Condensed consolidated financial statements of TC Energy Corporation (TC Energy or the Company) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those outlined in TC Energy’s annual audited Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as described in Note 2, Accounting changes. Capitalized and abbreviated terms that are used but not otherwise defined herein are identified in the 2019 audited Consolidated financial statements included in TC Energy’s 2019 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 2019 audited Consolidated financial statements included in TC Energy’s 2019 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 certain of the Company’s segments due to:
Natural gas pipelines segments the timing of regulatory decisions and seasonal fluctuations in short-term throughput volumes on U.S. pipelines 
Liquids Pipelines fluctuations in throughput volumes on the Keystone Pipeline System and marketing activities
Power and Storage 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 JUDGMENTS
In preparing these financial statements, TC Energy 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 judgment 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 annual audited Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as described in Note 2, Accounting changes.

FIRST QUARTER 2020

2. Accounting changes
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR 2020
Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other financial instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance amends the impairment model of financial instruments, basing it on expected losses rather than incurred losses. These expected credit losses will be recognized as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2020 and was applied using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 12, Risk management and financial instruments, for additional information related to the Company's updated accounting policy on impairment of financial assets.
Implementation costs of cloud computing arrangements
In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance requiring an entity in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance for internal-use software to determine which implementation costs should be capitalized as an asset and which costs should be expensed. The guidance also requires the entity to amortize the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement over the term of the arrangement. This guidance was effective January 1, 2020 and applied prospectively. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Consolidation
In October 2018, the FASB issued new guidance for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests for indirect interests held through related parties under common control. This new guidance was effective January 1, 2020 and was applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Reference rate reform
In response to the expected cessation of LIBOR, in March 2020, the FASB issued new optional guidance that eases the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients for contracts and hedging relationships that are affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Each of the expedients can be applied as of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. For eligible hedging relationships existing as of January 1, 2020 and prospectively, the Company has applied the optional expedient allowing an entity to assume that the hedged forecasted transaction in a cash flow hedge is probable of occurring. As reference rate reform is still an ongoing process, the Company will continue to evaluate the timing and potential impact of adoption for other optional expedients when deemed necessary.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Defined benefit plans
In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance which amends and clarifies disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. This new guidance is effective for annual disclosure requirements at December 31, 2020 and is expected to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


TC ENERGY [46
FIRST QUARTER 2020

Income taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance that simplified the accounting for income taxes and clarified existing guidance. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2021, however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of the adoption of this guidance and has not yet determined the effect on its consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, $3 million (2019 $6 million) of revenues were recognized that were included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period.
Contract assets and long-term contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s right to revenues for services completed but not invoiced at the reporting date on long-term committed capacity natural gas pipelines contracts. The change in contract assets is primarily related to the transfer to Accounts receivable when these rights become unconditional and the customer is invoiced, as well as the recognition of additional revenues that remain to be invoiced. Contract liabilities and long-term contract liabilities primarily relate to force majeure fixed capacity payments received on long-term capacity arrangements in Mexico.    
FUTURE REVENUES FROM REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
Capacity Arrangements and Transportation
As at March 31, 2020, future revenues from long-term pipeline capacity arrangements and transportation contracts extending through 2046 are approximately $27.5 billion, of which approximately $2.8 billion is expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2020.
Power Generation
The Company has long-term power generation contracts extending through 2028. Revenues from power generation contracts have a variable component related to market prices that are subject to factors outside the Company’s influence. These revenues are considered to be fully constrained and are recognized on a monthly basis when the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
Natural Gas Storage and Other
As at March 31, 2020, future revenues from long-term natural gas storage and other contracts extending through 2026 are approximately $0.6 billion, of which approximately $0.3 billion is expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2020.

5. Income taxes
Effective Tax Rates
The effective income tax rate was negative 15 per cent for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 17 per cent for the same period in 2019. The negative effective income tax rate in 2020 was primarily the result of the release of an income tax valuation allowance related to Keystone XL, discussed below. Excluding the impact of the income tax valuation allowance release, the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 10 per cent. The decline in the rates compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to lower Alberta income tax rates and lower flow-through income taxes on Canadian rate-regulated pipelines.
TC Energy recorded an income tax valuation allowance of $673 million against the deferred income tax asset balances at December 31, 2019. As of each reporting date, the Company considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. A net income tax valuation allowance release of $281 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020, following management's reassessment of the amount of its deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized due to the Company’s decision to proceed with construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
U.S. Tax Reform
In late 2017, proposed income tax regulations were issued as part of U.S. Tax Reform. The U.S. Treasury and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service issued final base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT) regulations in 2019 and final anti-hybrid rules on April 7, 2020. The finalization of these regulations did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2020.

CAPITALIZED INTEREST
In the three months ended March 31, 2020, TC Energy capitalized interest related to capital projects of $64 million (2019$37 million).
8. Redeemable non-controlling interest
On March 31, 2020, TC Energy announced that it will proceed with construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. As part of the funding plan, the Government of Alberta (GoA) has agreed to invest approximately US$1.1 billion as equity in Keystone XL subsidiaries of TC Energy. The remaining capital investment is expected to be funded through the combination of a US$4.2 billion project-level credit facility to be fully guaranteed by the GoA and capital contributions by the Company.
In conjunction with this agreement, on March 31, 2020, the Company’s Keystone XL subsidiaries issued Class A Interests amounting to $102 million to the GoA and recognized corresponding notes receivable due by December 31, 2020. These Class A Interests rank above TC Energy’s equity investment in the Keystone XL project and have certain voting rights.
The Company has a call right exercisable at any time to repurchase the Class A Interests from the GoA. The GoA has a put right to sell its Class A Interests to TC Energy exercisable upon and following the in-service date of the Keystone XL pipeline if certain conditions are met. As a result of these redemption features, the Company classified the Class A Interests as Redeemable non-controlling interest outside of equity on the Condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Class A Interests are entitled to a return in accordance with contractual terms. The return will accrue on a quarterly basis and adjust the carrying value of the Class A Interests accordingly.

12. Risk management and financial instruments 
RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
TC Energy 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 flows and shareholder value.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
TC Energy’s maximum counterparty credit exposure with respect to financial instruments at March 31, 2020, without taking into account security held, consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, available-for-sale assets, the fair value of derivative assets and loans receivable.
The recent combination of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the unparalleled energy demand decline and resulting supply imbalance, has led to significantly depressed commodity prices and restricted capital market access impacting certain of TC Energy's customers. While the majority of the Company's credit exposure is to large creditworthy entities, TC Energy has increased its monitoring of and communication with those counterparties experiencing greater financial pressures due to recent market volatility. Refer to TC Energy's 2019 Annual Report for more information about the factors that mitigate the Company's counterparty credit risk exposure.
The Company reviews financial assets carried at amortized cost for impairment using the lifetime expected loss of the financial asset at initial recognition and throughout the life of the financial asset. TC Energy uses historical credit loss and recovery data, adjusted for management's judgment regarding current economic and credit conditions, along with supportable forecasts to determine any impairment, which is recognized in Plant operating costs and other. At March 31, 2020, there were no significant credit losses, no significant credit risk concentration and no significant amounts past due or impaired.

FIRST QUARTER 2020

LOAN RECEIVABLE FROM AFFILIATE
Related party transactions are conducted in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.
At March 31, 2020, the Company's Condensed consolidated balance sheet included a MXN$20.9 billion or $1.3 billion (December 31, 2019MXN$20.9 billion or $1.4 billion) loan receivable from the Sur de Texas joint venture which represents TC Energy's 60 per cent proportionate share of long-term debt financing to the joint venture. Interest income and other included interest income of $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (2019 – $35 million) from this joint venture with a corresponding proportionate share of interest expense recorded in Income from equity investments in the Company's Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines segment. Interest income and other also included foreign exchange losses of $303 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (2019 – gains of $14 million) on the loan receivable from this joint venture with a corresponding proportionate share of Sur de Texas foreign exchange gains and losses recorded in Income from equity investments in the Corporate segment. As a result, there was no impact to net income.
NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The Company hedges a portion of its net investment in foreign operations (on an after-tax basis) with U.S. dollar-denominated debt, cross-currency swaps, foreign exchange forwards and foreign exchange options.

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. Each of these instruments are classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy, except for the Company's LMCI equity securities which are classified in Level I.
Credit risk has been taken into consideration when calculating the fair value of non-derivative 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 commodity 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. Unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments are not necessarily representative of the amounts that will be realized on settlement.
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.

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. TC Energy 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 on the Condensed consolidated balance sheet. The following table shows the impact on the presentation of the fair value of derivative instrument assets and liabilities had the Company elected to present these contracts on a net basis:

With respect to the derivative instruments presented above, the Company provided cash collateral of $12 million and letters of credit of $20 million at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019$58 million and $25 million, respectively) to its counterparties. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held no cash collateral and no letters of credit from counterparties on asset exposures.


TC ENERGY [63
FIRST QUARTER 2020

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. The Company may also need to provide collateral if the fair value of its derivative financial instruments exceeds pre-defined exposure limits.
Based on contracts in place and market prices at March 31, 2020, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $3 million (December 31, 2019$4 million), for which the Company has provided no collateral in the normal course of business. If the credit-risk-related contingent features in these agreements were triggered on March 31, 2020, the Company would have been required to provide collateral of $3 million (December 31, 2019$4 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 credit facilities 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. An active market is a market in which frequency and volume of transactions provides pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level II
This category includes interest rate and foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using the income approach and commodity derivatives where fair value is determined using the market approach.
Inputs include published exchange rates, interest rates, interest rate swap curves, yield curves and broker quotes from external data service providers. 
Level III
This category mainly includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low and the Company uses the most observable inputs available or, if not available, long-term broker quotes to estimate the fair value for these transactions.
There is uncertainty caused by using unobservable market data which may not accurately reflect possible future changes in fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, including both current and non-current portions, are categorized as follows:

13. Contingencies and guarantees
CONTINGENCIES
TC Energy 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.
GUARANTEES
As part of its role as operator of the Northern Courier pipeline, TC Energy has guaranteed the financial performance of the pipeline related to delivery and terminalling of bitumen and diluent and contingent financial obligations under sub-lease agreements.
TC Energy and its partner on the Sur de Texas pipeline, IEnova, have jointly guaranteed the financial performance of the entity which owns the pipeline. Such agreements include a guarantee and a letter of credit which are primarily related to construction services and the delivery of natural gas.
TC Energy and its joint venture partner on Bruce Power, BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust, have each severally guaranteed certain contingent financial obligations of Bruce Power related to a lease agreement and contractor and supplier services.
The Company and its partners in certain other jointly owned entities have either (i) jointly and severally, (ii) jointly or (iii) severally guaranteed the financial performance of these entities. Such agreements include guarantees and letters of credit which are primarily related to delivery of natural gas, construction services and the payment of liabilities. For certain of these entities, any payments made by TC Energy under these guarantees in excess of its ownership interest are to be reimbursed by its partners.
The carrying value of these guarantees has been included in Accounts payable and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed consolidated balance sheet. Information regarding the Company’s guarantees is as follows:

14. Variable interest entities
A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity.
In the normal course of business, the Company consolidates VIEs in which it has a variable interest and for which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs in which the Company has a variable interest but is not the primary beneficiary are considered non-consolidated VIEs and are accounted for as equity investments.
Consolidated VIEs
The Company's consolidated VIEs consist of legal entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. As the primary beneficiary, the Company has the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact economic performance including purchasing or selling significant assets; maintenance and operations of assets; incurring additional indebtedness; or determining the strategic operating direction of the entity. In addition, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the consolidated VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
A significant portion of the Company’s assets are held through VIEs in which the Company holds a 100 per cent voting interest, the VIE meets the definition of a business and the VIE’s assets can be used for general corporate purposes. The consolidated VIEs whose assets cannot be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIE’s obligations, or are not considered a business, are as follows:

Certain consolidated VIEs have a redeemable non-controlling interest that ranks above the Company's equity interest. Refer to Note 8, Redeemable non-controlling interest, for additional information.
Non-Consolidated VIEs
The Company’s non-consolidated VIEs consist of legal entities where the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs or where this power is shared with third parties. The Company contributes capital to these VIEs and receives ownership interests that provide it with residual claims on assets after liabilities are paid.
The carrying value of these VIEs and the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company's involvement with these VIEs are as follows:

Ontario Natural Gas-Fired Power Plants
On April 29, 2020, TC Energy completed the sale of its Halton Hills and Napanee power plants as well as its 50 per cent interest in Portlands Energy Centre to a third party for net proceeds of approximately $2.8 billion following closing price adjustments and prior to post-closing adjustments, resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $520 million ($370 million after tax). The increase in the total loss from that disclosed at December 31, 2019 is primarily the result of higher than expected costs to achieve Napanee's March 13, 2020 in-service and the inclusion of post-closing obligations. As these assets had been classified as held for sale, $395 million of the pre-tax loss ($271 million after tax) was recorded up to March 31, 2020, with $116 million of the pre-tax loss ($77 million after tax) recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The remaining pre-tax loss of approximately $125 million ($99 million after tax) was recorded on close and will be reflected in second quarter 2020 results. Along with post-closing adjustments, this loss may also be amended in the future for items that could not be estimated on close including the settlement of existing insurance claims.
