Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to match the current year presentation.
These interim financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors of Inter Pipeline on August 5, 2021.
2. REVISION OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
Effective January 1, 2021, Inter Pipeline restructured its reportable segments to better reflect its underlying operations. The application of existing segment reporting and revenue recognition accounting policies to Inter Pipeline’s new reportable segments is outlined below.
Refer to note 4 for the restated segment reporting for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Segment Reporting
Inter Pipeline determines its reportable segments based on the nature of its operations. This is consistent with how the business is managed and results are reported to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who are Inter Pipeline’s chief operating decision makers. Operating segments that have similar economic characteristics are aggregated into reportable segments. Inter Pipeline evaluates the financial performance of its reportable segments primarily based on adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before financing charges, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and unrealized gains / losses on derivatives.
Segment results include items that are directly attributable to a segment as well as items that can be allocated on a reasonable basis and can be controlled by segment managers. Intersegment transactions are recorded at estimated market rates and are eliminated on consolidation.
Industry Segments
The transportation segment is comprised of oil sands and conventional oil pipelines that transport petroleum products, as well as bulk liquid storage terminals that provide storage and blending services for oil, chemical and biofuel products. The facilities infrastructure segment owns assets that provide customers with NGL, offgas and petrochemical products and services. The marketing segment manages the logistics and sale of products not produced under fee-based or cost-of-service agreements, engages in facility and pipeline optimization opportunities, and is responsible for Inter Pipeline’s commodity risk management activities, including hedging. The new ventures segment focuses on the development of large-scale innovative projects to create new cash flow streams, and currently includes the Heartland Petrochemical Complex (HPC). Once projects are in service and operating as intended, the assets and operations will be transferred to the facilities infrastructure and marketing segments.
