The Company also owns gas gathering and processing facilities; an oil and natural gas liquids infrastructure and logistics business; is growing an export terminals business; and is currently constructing a petrochemical facility to convert propane into polypropylene. Pembina's integrated assets and commercial operations along the majority of the hydrocarbon value chain allow it to offer a full spectrum of midstream and marketing services to the energy sector. Pembina is committed to identifying additional opportunities to connect hydrocarbon production to new demand locations through the development of infrastructure that would extend Pembina's service offering even further along the hydrocarbon value chain. These new developments will contribute to ensuring that hydrocarbons produced in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and the other basins where Pembina operates can reach the highest value markets throughout the world.
Purpose of Pembina:
To be the leader in delivering integrated infrastructure solutions connecting global markets;
• | Customers choose us first for reliable and value-added services; |
• | Investors receive sustainable industry-leading total returns; |
• | Employees say we are the 'employer of choice' and value our safe, respectful, collaborative and fair work culture; and |
• | Communities welcome us and recognize the net positive impact of our social and environmental commitment. |
Strategic Acquisition Announcement
On August 21, 2019, Pembina announced that it had entered into agreements to acquire Kinder Morgan Canada Limited ("Kinder Morgan Canada") (the "Corporate Acquisition") and the U.S. portion of the Cochin Pipeline system ("Cochin US") from Kinder Morgan, Inc. (the "Cochin US Acquisition") for a total purchase price of approximately $4.35 billion (the "Kinder Acquisition"). The transaction values Kinder Morgan Canada at approximately $2.3 billion (including the assumption of Kinder Morgan Canada's outstanding preferred shares and outstanding debt) and Cochin US at approximately $2.05 billion. On September 10, 2019, Pembina and Kinder Morgan Canada announced they had agreed to amend and restate the previously announced arrangement agreement in respect of the Corporate Acquisition to provide for the exchange of the preferred shares of Kinder Morgan Canada for preferred shares of Pembina with substantially the same terms, subject to approval by the preferred shareholders of Kinder Morgan Canada. Completion of the Kinder Acquisition is subject to the approval of common shareholders of Kinder Morgan Canada and clearance under the Competition Act (Canada). The Kinder Acquisition is not subject to the approval of the Kinder Morgan Canada preferred shareholders. Pembina has received early termination from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and clearance under the Canada Transportation Act. Pembina currently expects the Kinder Acquisition will close in the first quarter of 2020, subject to receipt of the remaining approvals. Upon closing of the Kinder Acquisition, Pembina intends to increase its monthly dividend by $0.01 per common share.

Results Overview
Earnings in the third quarter of 2019 were positively impacted by higher gross profit in both Facilities and Marketing & New Ventures due to higher terminalling revenue, combined with realized and unrealized gains from commodity-related derivative contracts, respectively, partially offset by lower Pipelines gross profit as a result of higher deferred revenue recognized during the third quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2019. Higher net finance costs were largely offset by a reduction in general & administrative and other expense. A decrease in deferred tax expense is partially offset by an increase in current tax due to growth in partnership earnings in the prior year that are recognized in taxable income in the current year.
Pembina Pipeline Corporation Third Quarter 2019 3
Changes in Results for the Three Months Ended September 30 | ||
Revenue | ▼ | $345 million decrease, primarily driven by lower marketing revenues due to lower propane, butane and crude prices, combined with the $23 million of deferred revenue that was recognized in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $6 million recognized in the same period of 2019, partially offset by revenues associated with new Peace Phase IV and V assets and Burstall Ethane Storage all recently placed into service (see the Projects and New Developments sections). |
Operating expenses | ▼ | $15 million increase due to higher labour and repairs and maintenance, driven by growth in the business, combined with increased integrity spending. |
Share of profit from equity accounted investees | ▼ | $21 million decrease, largely due to lower propane margins at Aux Sable resulting from a decrease in sales prices, combined with a narrower Chicago-AECO natural gas differential and a one-time revenue adjustment of $5 million at Veresen Midstream. |
Realized (gain) loss on commodity-related derivatives | ▲ | $34 million increase relating to the settlement of NGL and crude based derivatives in a gain position. |
Unrealized gain on commodity-related derivatives | ▲ | $40 million positive variance primarily due to a decrease in the price of propane and other frac-related commodities which drove the associated derivative contracts into a gain position. |
General & administrative and other expense | ▲ | $8 million decrease in other expense, mainly due to higher other income, with no change in general & administrative expense during the period. |
Net finance costs | ▼ | $9 million increase largely due to additional interest expense associated with higher average debt levels, combined with higher interest expense recognized on the adoption of IFRS 16. |
Current tax expense | ▼ | $15 million increase is primarily due to the growth in prior year partnership earnings as a result of expansions that is recognized in taxable income in the current year as well as higher current year earnings, partially offset by a $17 million recovery of taxes previously accrued. |
Deferred tax expense | ▲ | $24 million decrease is primarily due to growth in partnership earnings in the prior year that are recognized in the taxable income in the current year. |
Earnings | ▲ | $36 million increase compared to the third quarter of 2018 driven by the items noted above. |
Cash flow from operating activities | ▲ | $54 million increase, primarily driven by an increase in operating results after adjusting for non-cash items, $41 million change in non-cash working capital and the $16 million impact from the adoption of IFRS 16, partially offset by the $28 million decrease in distributions from equity accounted investees and $16 million increase in taxes paid. |
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities(1) | ▲ | $7 million increase largely due to the same items impacting cash flow from operating activities, discussed above, net of the $41 million change in non-cash working capital, $15 million increase in current tax expense and $13 million increase in preferred share dividends paid. |
Adjusted EBITDA(1) | ● | Consistent with the prior period as the contribution from new assets placed into service in Pipelines and Facilities, combined with the $12 million impact from the adoption of IFRS 16, was largely offset by decreased NGL and crude margins in Marketing & New Ventures. Included in adjusted EBITDA is $183 million (2018: $214 million) related to equity accounted investees. |
Total volume (mboe/d)(2) | ● | Consistent volumes primarily driven by higher take-or-pay volumes recognized in the third quarter of 2018, combined with lower supply volumes at Redwater, partially offset by higher volumes on the AEGS and Vantage systems. Revenue volumes includes 316 mboe/d (2018: 314 mboe/d) related to equity accounted investees. |

Results Overview
Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were positively impacted by the deferred tax recovery primarily due to the reduction in Alberta income tax rate from 12 percent to 8 percent over a four-year period, partially offset by higher current tax expense. Gross profit increased in both Pipelines and Facilities from new assets placed into service, the recognition of variable revenue related to capital recoveries in the year-to-date period as well as deferred variable revenue from the prior year, higher terminalling revenue, as well as additional customer commitments on existing assets. Marketing & New Ventures gross profit increased due to gains from commodity-related derivative contracts. General & administrative and other expenses and net finance costs both increased following the adoption of IFRS 16.

Changes in Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30 | ||
Revenue(3) | ▼ | $149 million decrease, primarily due to lower propane, butane and crude prices, partially offset by revenue associated with new assets placed into service (see the Projects and New Developments sections), increased terminalling revenue, increased NGL sales volumes, a $33 million contract dispute settlement, the recognition of $23 million of variable revenue related to year-to-date and prior year capital recoveries and increased recovery of operating expenses. |
Operating expenses | ▼ | $39 million increase largely due to increases in power costs as a result of both increased power pool prices and higher consumption from new assets placed into service, combined with higher repairs and maintenance, integrity and labour costs, due to the larger asset base. |
Share of profit from equity accounted investees | ● | Consistent with prior period as lower propane margins at Aux Sable, resulting from lower sales prices and narrower Chicago-AECO natural gas differential, was largely offset by increased revenues from Veresen Midstream following the North Central Liquids Hub going into service in June 2018, combined with the impact of a $24 million finance gain reversal recorded in the first half of 2018. |
Realized (gain) loss on commodity-related derivatives | ▲ | $81 million increase due to the recognition of a gain position for NGL and crude based derivatives that were settled during the period, compared to losses realized in the nine months of 2018. |
Unrealized (gain) loss on commodity-related derivatives | ▲ | $26 million increase in unrealized gain, primarily due to both new NGL contracts added during the period, combined with the impact of lower NGL forward prices and unrealized losses in 2018. |
General & administrative and other expense | ● | Consistent with prior period. |
Net finance costs | ▼ | $11 million increase due to additional interest expense recognized on the adoption of IFRS 16, combined with higher interest expense, partially offset by a reduction in losses from fair value of non-commodity-related derivatives and increased foreign exchange gains. |

Business Overview
The Pipelines Division includes liquids and natural gas pipelines with a total capacity of approximately three million barrels of oil equivalent per day serving various markets and basins across North America. The Pipelines Division is comprised of Pembina's conventional, transmission and oil sands and heavy oil pipeline assets. The primary objectives of the Pipelines Division are to provide safe, responsible, reliable and cost-effective transportation services for customers; connect customer products to premium markets; pursue opportunities for increased throughput that enhances the return on invested capital; and follow a disciplined approach to operating expenses.
The Facilities Division includes infrastructure that provides Pembina's customers with natural gas, condensate and NGL services. Pembina's natural gas gathering and processing assets are strategically positioned in active, liquids-rich areas of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and are integrated with the Company's other businesses. Pembina provides sweet and sour gas gathering, compression, condensate stabilization, and both shallow cut and deep cut gas processing services with a total capacity of approximately six billion cubic feet per day for its customers. Virtually all of the condensate and NGL extracted through these facilities is transported by Pembina's Pipelines Division. The Facilities Division includes approximately 356 thousand barrels per day of NGL fractionation, 14.3 million barrels of cavern storage, and associated terminalling facilities and the Company is currently constructing a liquefied petroleum gas export facility on Canada's West Coast. These facilities are fully integrated with the Company’s other divisions, providing customers with the ability to access a comprehensive suite of services to enhance the value of their hydrocarbons.
The Marketing & New Ventures Division strives to maximize the value of hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas originating in the basins where the Company operates. Pembina seeks to create new markets, and further enhance existing markets, to support both the Company's and its customers' overall business interests. In particular, Pembina seeks to identify opportunities to connect hydrocarbon production to new demand locations through the development of infrastructure. Pembina strives to increase producer netbacks and product demand to improve the overall competitiveness of the basins where the Company operates. Within the Marketing & New Ventures Division, Pembina undertakes value-added commodity marketing activities including buying and selling products (natural gas, ethane, propane, butane, condensate and crude oil), commodity arbitrage, and optimizing storage opportunities. The marketing business enters into contracts for capacity on both Pembina's and third-party infrastructure, handles proprietary and customer volumes and aggregates production for onward sale. The Marketing & New Ventures Division currently includes an integrated propane dehydrogenation plant and polypropylene upgrading facility ("PDH/PP Facility"), being constructed by Pembina’s joint venture, Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation ("CKPC"), and the proposed Jordan Cove LNG project.

10 Pembina Pipeline Corporation Third Quarter 2019
Pembina has approved the first stage of an additional expansion of the Peace Pipeline system ("Phase IX"), which will add additional capacity in the northwest Alberta to Gordondale, Alberta corridor to accommodate increased activity in the Montney and, in conjunction with previously announced expansions, largely completes product segregation across the system. This expansion has an estimated cost of approximately $100 million and is supported by 10-year contracts with predominantly investment grade counterparties under significant take-or-pay provisions. Phase IX is anticipated to be placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory and environmental approvals.
The first stage of Phase IX will include new 6-inch and 16-inch pipelines debottlenecking the corridor north of Gordondale, Alberta as well as upgrades at one pump station. In addition, this expansion will see existing pipelines, which are currently batching, converted to single product lines. Once this expansion is completed, Pembina will have largely completed its objective to achieve segregated liquids transportation service for ethane-plus, propane-plus, crude and condensate across multiple pipeline systems between Gordondale, Alberta and the Edmonton, Alberta area. This portion of the Phase IX expansion allows Pembina to fully utilize approximately 100 mbbls/d of latent capacity that will be created on Peace Pipeline east of LaGlace, Alberta, as a result of the Phase VII and VIII expansions.
Pembina continues to evaluate the need for additional pump stations between Fox Creek and Namao, Alberta to achieve Pembina's fully powered-up market delivery capacity of 1.3 million barrels per day across the Peace and Northern pipelines. Engineering is currently underway and based on further commercial support, the scope of Phase IX may be revised in the future to include these projects.

Projects & New Developments
The following outlines the projects currently underway and new developments within Marketing & New Ventures:
PDH/PP Facility | ||
Capital Budget(1): $2.5 billion | In-service Date: Mid-2023 | Status: On time, trending on budget |
The PDH/PP Facility will be located adjacent to Pembina's Redwater fractionation complex and will convert approximately 23,000 bpd of locally supplied propane into polypropylene, a high value recyclable polymer used in a wide range of finished products including but not limited to automobiles, medical devices, food packaging and home electronic appliances, among others. Engineering, procurement and construction bids have been received and are currently being reviewed. Early works site preparation is expected to continue through the fourth quarter of 2019. Pembina contributions to date are $90 million. |
Jordan Cove LNG Project (proposed) | ||
The proposed Jordan Cove LNG project is a world-scale LNG export facility which would transport North American natural gas to world markets. The project is made up of two parts: the LNG terminal, with a planned design capacity of 7.8 million tonnes per annum and the Pacific Connector Gas pipeline which would transport natural gas from Malin, Oregon to an LNG terminal in Coos County, Oregon. | ||
The Company has signed voluntary easement agreements that constitute 82 percent of the privately owned portion of the proposed pipeline route, which will allow the pipeline to cross beneath these properties. | ||
Subsequent to the quarter, FERC revised the schedule for issuance of the final Environmental Impact Statement, which is now expected February 13, 2020. Engagement with the Oregon State regulatory authority continues. State permits are a critical component of the regulatory process and enable the commercial viability and critical investment to move forward. Due to state permitting considerations, the timing and ultimate approval of Jordan Cove is uncertain. The carrying value of the project at September 30, 2019 is $324 million, including capitalized borrowing costs of $7 million. | ||
In conjunction with a final investment decision, the Company intends to seek partners for both the pipeline and liquification facilities thereby reducing its 100 percent ownership interest to a net ownership interest of between 40 and 60 percent with the intention to reduce the capital, operating, and other project risks. |

Pembina anticipates its cash flow from operating activities, the majority of which is derived from fee-based contracts, will be more than sufficient to meet its short-term and long-term operating obligations and fund its dividends. In the short term, Pembina expects to source funds required for capital projects and contributions to investments in equity accounted investees from cash, its credit facilities and by accessing the capital markets, as required. Based on its successful access to financing in the capital markets over the past several years, Pembina believes it should continue to have access to additional funds as required. Refer to "Risk Factors – Additional Financing and Capital Resources" in Pembina's MD&A and note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information. Management remains satisfied that the leverage employed in Pembina's capital structure is sufficient and appropriate given the characteristics and operations of the underlying asset base.
Management may make adjustments to Pembina's capital structure as a result of changes in economic conditions or the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or modify Pembina's capital structure in the future, Pembina may renegotiate new debt terms, repay existing debt, seek new borrowing, issue additional equity and/or repurchase shares.
Pembina's credit facilities consist of an unsecured $2.5 billion (December 31, 2018: $2.5 billion) revolving credit facility which includes a $750 million accordion feature and matures in May 2024, and an operating facility of $20 million (December 31, 2018: $20 million) due in May 2020 and is typically renewed on an annual basis. There are no repayments due over the term of these facilities. On September 19, 2019, Pembina fully-repaid its unsecured $1.0 billion (December 31, 2018: $1.0 billion) non-revolving term loan. As at September 30, 2019, Pembina had $3.1 billion (December 31, 2018: $2.4 billion) of cash and unutilized debt facilities. At September 30, 2019, Pembina had loans and borrowings (excluding deferred financing costs) of $8.3 billion (December 31, 2018: $7.5 billion). Pembina also had an additional $68 million (December 31, 2018: $69 million) in letters of credit issued pursuant to separate credit facilities. Pembina is required to meet certain specific and customary affirmative and negative financial covenants under its senior unsecured notes, medium-term notes, revolving credit, non-revolving term and operating facilities, including a requirement to maintain certain financial ratios. Pembina is also subject to customary restrictions on its operations and activities under its notes and credit facilities, including restrictions on the granting of security, incurring indebtedness and the sale of its assets.
On July 11, 2019, the Pipeline Financial Requirements Regulations ("Regulations") issued under the National Energy Board ("NEB") Act, later renamed to the Canadian Energy Regulator ("CER") and CER Act, came into effect. The Regulations set out the absolute liability limits required for operators of CER-regulated pipelines to respond to an unintended or uncontrolled release of commodity from a pipeline. The newly-enacted Regulations require operators to demonstrate that they have, and
Pembina Pipeline Corporation Third Quarter 2019 19
will maintain, the prescribed financial resources to fund their respective absolute liability or a greater amount as determined by the CER, including a set portion (five percent) in readily available resources. Pembina has direct ownership in CER-regulated assets with a total absolute liability of $450 million. Pembina filed its financial resources plan with the CER verifying its ability to meet the $450 million liability using prescribed financial resources, including $22.5 million in readily available resources, and has maintained compliance with the requirements of the CER Act.
Covenants
Pembina's financial covenants include the following:
Debt Instrument | Financial Covenant(1) | Ratio | Ratio at September 30, 2019 |
Senior unsecured medium-term notes | Funded Debt to Capitalization | Maximum 0.70 | 0.36 |
Revolving unsecured credit facility | Debt to Capital | Maximum 0.65 | 0.34 |
EBITDA to Senior Interest Coverage | Minimum 2.5:1.0 | 8.80 |
(1) | Terms as defined in relevant agreements. |
In addition to the table above, Pembina has customary covenants on its other senior unsecured notes. Pembina was in compliance with all covenants under its notes and facilities as at September 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018: in compliance).
Pembina continues to actively monitor and reassess the creditworthiness of its counterparties. Financial assurances to mitigate and reduce risk may include guarantees, letters of credit and cash. Letters of credit totaling $108 million (December 31, 2018: $122 million) were held at September 30, 2019, primarily in respect of customer trade receivables.

Credit Ratings
The following information with respect to Pembina's credit ratings is provided as it relates to Pembina's financing costs and liquidity. Specifically, credit ratings affect Pembina's ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and the cost of such financing. A reduction in the current ratings on Pembina's debt by its rating agencies, particularly a downgrade below investment-grade ratings, could adversely affect Pembina's cost of financing and its access to sources of liquidity and capital. In addition, changes in credit ratings may affect Pembina's ability, and the associated costs, to enter into normal course derivative or hedging transactions. Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of credit quality of any issues of securities. The credit ratings assigned by the rating agencies are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the securities, nor do the ratings comment on market price or suitability for a particular investor. Any rating may not remain in effect for a given period of time or may be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant.
Pembina targets strong 'BBB' credit ratings. DBRS rates Pembina's senior unsecured notes and senior unsecured medium-term notes 'BBB' and Class A Preferred Shares Pfd-3. S&P's long-term corporate credit rating on Pembina is 'BBB' and its rating of the Class A Preferred Shares is P-3 (High).

(2) | Pembina corrected revenue and costs of goods sold in Marketing & New Ventures in 2018. The adjustments reduce revenue and cost of goods sold for the quarter ending June 30, 2018 ($202 million). There was no impact to earnings as a result of the adjustments. |
During the periods in the table above, Pembina's results were impacted by the following factors and trends:
• | The Veresen Acquisition on October 2, 2017; |
• | Increased production in key operating areas and resource plays within the WCSB (Deep Basin, Montney and Duvernay) which has increased revenue and sales volumes on Pembina's existing assets in Pipelines and Facilities; |
• | New large-scale growth projects across Pembina's business being placed into service; |
• | Volatility in commodity market prices impacting margins within the marketing business, partially mitigated through Pembina's risk management program; |
• | Lower Alberta tax rates following the enactment of Bill 3 in June 2019 and lower income tax rates on U.S. operations following the enactment of U.S. tax reform legislation in December 2017; |
• | Higher net finance costs impacting earnings associated with debt related to financing acquisitions and growth projects; |
• | Increased common and preferred shares outstanding and corresponding dividends due to the Veresen Acquisition; and |
• | Adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on January 1, 2018; and adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019. See "Accounting Policies and Estimates". |

Financing Activities for Equity Accounted Investees
On March 28, 2019, Ruby Pipeline, L.L.C., in which Pembina owns a 50 percent preferred interest, amended the maturity date of its 364-day term loan (the "Term Loan") to March 26, 2020. The Term Loan will continue to amortize at US$16 million per quarter (US$8 million per quarter net to Pembina), beginning March 2019, until a final bullet payment of US$78 million (US$39 million net to Pembina) is payable on the amended maturity date, unless otherwise extended.
On September 26, 2019, Veresen Midstream, successfully amended and extended its Senior Secured Credit Facilities which were originally scheduled to mature on April 20, 2022. Under the terms of the amendment and extension reached with a syndicate of lenders, Veresen Midstream increased its borrowing capacity to $225 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and to $2.6 billion of availability under the Term Facility. Amortization payments of the Term Facility are deferred twenty-four months, recommencing again on September 30, 2021. The maturity date of the two debt facilities was extended to April 20, 2024.

10. ACCOUNTING POLICIES & ESTIMATES
Changes in Accounting Policies
New Standards Adopted in 2019
Except for the changes as described below, accounting policies as disclosed in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied to all periods consistently.
IFRS 16 Leases
The Company has adopted IFRS 16 effective January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 introduced a new lease definition that increases the focus on control of the underlying asset. In addition, IFRS 16 introduced a single, on balance sheet accounting model for lessees that has resulted in the Company recording right-of-use assets representing its right to use the underlying assets and
26 Pembina Pipeline Corporation Third Quarter 2019
lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting has remained unchanged, except for changes in the classification of subleases.
IFRS 16 has been applied using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application was recognized in equity at January 1, 2019 as further disclosed below. Accordingly, the comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. The details of the Company's accounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, for the comparative period, were disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of whether a contract entered into before the date of initial application was, or contained, a lease under IFRIC 4, rather than reassess based on the new definition of a lease under IFRS 16. Contracts previously identified as leases were recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS 16.
a. | Accounting Policies |
The details of significant accounting policies under IFRS 16 and the nature of the changes to previous accounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are outlined in the condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There has not been a significant change from what has been previously disclosed.
b. | Use of Estimates and Judgments |
The details of use of estimates and judgments impacted by IFRS 16 are outlined in the condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There has not been a significant change from what has been previously disclosed.
c. | Transition |
i. | Lessee |
At transition, lease liabilities for contracts previously identified as operating leases under IAS 17 were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. For all leases, right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liability.
The Company applied the following practical expedients on transition:
• | the Company applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics rather than multiple discount rates to match the term of each lease; |
• | the Company has relied on onerous lease contract assessments previously performed under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as an alternative to an impairment review on right-of-use assets, resulting in an adjustment of the right-of-use asset balance by the amount of the onerous lease contract provision outstanding immediately before the date of initial application; and |
• | the Company elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for leases with terms of less than twelve months remaining. |
There has been no change to the accounting for contracts previously identified as finance leases under IAS 17. The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and lease liability on transition were determined to be equal to the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17.
ii. | Lessor |
Sub-lease contracts previously classified as operating leases are recognized as finance leases under IFRS 16.
Pembina Pipeline Corporation Third Quarter 2019 27
d. | Financial Statement Impacts |
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognized significant right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to rail, buildings and land. Further disclosures related to leases are provided in financial statement note 7.
i. | Consolidated Statement of Financial Position |
The impacts of adoption of IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019 are as follows:

28 Pembina Pipeline Corporation Third Quarter 2019
iii. | Financial Impact on Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 |
The nature of expenses related to identified lessee arrangements changed as IFRS 16 replaced straight-line operating lease expense with depreciation of right of use assets and interest expense relating to lease liabilities. The change did not have a significant impact on earnings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 adjusted EBITDA increased $12 million and $45 million. In addition, cash flow from operating activities and adjusted cash flow from operating activities each increased $16 million and $43 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and cash flow from financing activities decreased by the same amount, as lease obligation repayments are now reported as financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows. There was no net impact on cash flows.
New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted
Conceptual Framework
In March 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board issued a revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with early application permitted. The Conceptual Framework sets out the fundamental concepts of financial reporting and is applied to develop accounting policies when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction. The revised Conceptual Framework includes: new concepts on measurement, presentation and disclosure, and derecognition; updated definitions of an asset and a liability and related recognition criteria; and clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Company intends to adopt the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting on its effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the revised conceptual framework will have on its earnings and financial position.
Critical Accounting Judgments & Estimates
Critical accounting judgments and estimates used in preparing the Interim Financial Statements are described in Pembina's Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A for the year ending December 31, 2018. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make both judgments and estimates that could materially affect the amounts recognized in the financial statements. By their nature, judgments and estimates may change in light of new facts and circumstances in the internal and external environment. Other than accounting estimates and judgments made in connection with the adoption of IFRS 16, there have been no material changes to Pembina's critical accounting estimates and judgments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
11. NON-GAAP MEASURES
Throughout this MD&A, Pembina has used the following terms that are not defined by GAAP but are used by management to evaluate the performance of Pembina and its businesses. Since non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, applicable securities regulations require that non-GAAP measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period.
The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information with respect to Pembina's operational and financial performance to investors and analysts though the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently.
Investors should be cautioned that net revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from operating activities per common share, and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as indicators of Pembina's performance.
Pembina Pipeline Corporation Third Quarter 2019 29
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are presented net in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from investments in equity accounted investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, Share of Profit from Equity Accounted Investees. Cash contributions and distributions from investments in equity accounted investees represent Pembina’s share paid and received in the period to and from the investments in equity accounted investees.
To assist in understanding and evaluating the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with non-GAAP proportionate consolidation of Pembina’s interest in the investments in equity accounted investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in equity accounted investees has been included in adjusted EBITDA.
Net Revenue
Net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined as total revenue less cost of goods sold including product purchases. Management believes that net revenue provides investors with a single measure to indicate the margin on sales before non-product operating expenses that is comparable between periods. Management utilizes net revenue to compare consecutive results, in Marketing & New Ventures and Facilities, to aggregate revenue generated by each of the Company's divisions and to set comparable objectives.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("adjusted EBITDA")
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as earnings for the year before net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (included in operations and general and administrative expense) and unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments. The exclusion of unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments eliminates the non-cash impact of such gains or losses.
Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments to earnings for losses (gains) on disposal of assets, transaction costs incurred in respect of acquisitions, impairment charges or reversals and write-downs in respect of goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, certain non-cash provisions and other amounts not reflective of ongoing operations. The adjustments made to earnings are also made to share of profit from investments in equity accounted investees. In addition, Pembina's proportionate share of results from investments in equity accounted investees with a preferred interest is presented in adjusted EBITDA as a 50 percent common interest. These additional adjustments are made to exclude various non-cash and other items that are not reflective of ongoing operations. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of an issuer's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities and equity accounted investees. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing an issuer, including calculating financial and leverage ratios.
30 Pembina Pipeline Corporation Third Quarter 2019
Management utilizes adjusted EBITDA to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's success. Pembina presents adjusted EBITDA as management believes it is a measure frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the Company’s financial performance.

Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities, Cash Flow from Operating Activities per Common Share and Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities per Common Share
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a non-GAAP measure which is defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusting for the change in non-cash operating working capital, adjusting for current tax and share-based payment expenses, and deducting preferred share dividends paid. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities deducts preferred share dividends paid because they are not attributable to common shareholders. The calculation has been modified to include current tax and share-based payment expense as it allows management to better assess the obligations discussed below. Management believes that adjusted cash flow from operating activities provides comparable information to investors for assessing financial performance during each reporting period. Management utilizes adjusted cash flow from operating activities to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's ability to meet interest obligations, dividend payments and other commitments. Per common share amounts are calculated by dividing cash flow from operating activities, or adjusted cash flow from operating activities, as applicable, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") is a Calgary-based, leading transportation and midstream service provider serving North America's energy industry. The condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary companies, partnerships and any investments in associates and joint arrangements as at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These Interim Financial Statements and the notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("Consolidated Financial Statements") which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issue by Pembina's Board of Directors on October 31, 2019.
Pembina owns an integrated system of pipelines that transport various hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas products produced primarily in western Canada. The Company also owns gas gathering and processing facilities and an oil and natural gas liquids infrastructure, storage and logistics business; is growing an export terminals business; and is currently constructing a petrochemical facility to convert propane into polypropylene. Pembina's integrated assets and commercial operations along the majority of the hydrocarbon value chain allow it to offer a full spectrum of midstream and marketing services to the energy sector.
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except for the changes as described below, accounting policies as disclosed in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied to all periods consistently.
IFRS 16 Leases
The Company has adopted IFRS 16 effective January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 introduced a new lease definition that increases the focus on control of the underlying asset. In addition, IFRS 16 introduced a single, on balance sheet accounting model for lessees that has resulted in the Company recording right-of-use assets representing its right to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting has remained unchanged, except for changes in the classification of subleases.
IFRS 16 has been applied using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application was recognized in equity at January 1, 2019 as further disclosed below. Accordingly, the comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. The details of the Company's accounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, for the comparative period, were disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of whether a contract entered into before the date of initial application was, or contained, a lease under IFRIC 4, rather than reassess based on the new definition of a lease under IFRS 16. Contracts previously identified as leases were recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS 16.
a. | Accounting Policies |
The details of significant accounting policies under IFRS 16 and the nature of the changes to previous accounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are outlined in the condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There has not been a significant change from what has been previously disclosed.
Pembina Pipeline Corporation Third Quarter 2019 39
b. | Use of Estimates and Judgments |
The details of use of estimates and judgments impacted by IFRS 16 are outlined in the condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There has not been a significant change from what has been previously disclosed.
c. | Transition |
i. | Lessee |
At transition, lease liabilities for contracts previously identified as operating leases under IAS 17 were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. For all leases, right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liability.
The Company applied the following practical expedients on transition:
• | the Company applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics rather than multiple discount rates to match the term of each lease; |
• | the Company has relied on onerous lease contract assessments previously performed under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as an alternative to an impairment review on right-of-use assets, resulting in an adjustment of the right-of-use asset balance by the amount of the onerous lease contract provision outstanding immediately before the date of initial application; and |
• | the Company elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for leases with terms of less than twelve months remaining. |
There has been no change to the accounting for contracts previously identified as finance leases under IAS 17. The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and lease liability on transition were determined to be equal to the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17.
ii. | Lessor |
Sub-lease contracts previously classified as operating leases are recognized as finance leases under IFRS 16.
d. | Financial Statement Impacts |
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognized significant right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to rail, buildings and land. Further disclosures related to leases are provided in financial statement note 7.

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted
Conceptual Framework
In March 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board issued a revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with early application permitted. The Conceptual Framework sets out the fundamental concepts of financial reporting and is applied to develop accounting policies when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction. The revised Conceptual Framework includes: new concepts on measurement, presentation and disclosure, and derecognition; updated definitions of an asset and a liability and related recognition criteria; and clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Company intends to adopt the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting on its effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the revised conceptual framework will have on its earnings and financial position.
3. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure based on methods as set out in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These methods have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Interim Financial Statements.
4. ACQUISITION
On August 21, 2019, Pembina announced that it had entered into agreements to acquire Kinder Morgan Canada Limited ("Kinder Morgan Canada") (the "Corporate Acquisition") and the U.S. portion of the Cochin Pipeline system ("Cochin US") from Kinder Morgan, Inc. (the "Cochin US Acquisition") for a total purchase price of approximately $4.35 billion (the "Kinder Acquisition").
Under the terms of the amended and restated arrangement agreement governing the Corporate Acquisition, Pembina will acquire all of the issued and outstanding restricted voting shares (the "Restricted Voting Shares") and special voting shares (the "Special Voting Shares") of Kinder Morgan Canada and all of the class B units (the "Class B Units") of Kinder Morgan Canada Limited Partnership by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). Pembina is offering to acquire each of the outstanding Restricted Voting Shares and each Class B Unit in exchange for 0.3068 of a common share of Pembina, for total consideration of approximately $2.3 billion based on Pembina's 30-day volume weighted average price of $48.96 immediately prior to the announcement of the Kinder Acquisition. All outstanding preferred shares of Kinder Morgan Canada will be exchanged for Pembina preferred shares with substantially the same terms as the outstanding Kinder Morgan Canada preferred shares, subject to approval by the preferred shareholders of Kinder Morgan Canada. The Cochin US Acquisition will be settled for cash consideration of approximately $2.05 billion.
Completion of the Kinder Acquisition is subject to the approval of common shareholders of Kinder Morgan Canada and clearance under the Competition Act (Canada). The Kinder Acquisition is not subject to the approval of the Kinder Morgan Canada preferred shareholders. Pembina currently expects the Kinder Acquisition will close in the first quarter of 2020, subject to receipt of the remaining approvals.

At December 31, 2018, the Company used a 1.8 percent inflation rate per annum and a risk-free nominal rate of 2.3 percent to calculate the present value of the decommissioning provision.
In the third quarter of 2019, due to forces currently influencing global capital markets, long-term risk-free nominal rates in Canada declined below target inflation rates, implying a negative real rate of return. The Company determined that applying these rates to current cost estimates would not provide an accurate measurement of the decommissioning liability as observable stand-alone risk-free real rates of return continue to be positive. To provide a more accurate measurement of the liability, the Company applied a risk-free real return rate of 0.3 percent to estimate the present value of the decommissioning provision at September 30, 2019, resulting in a change in estimate. The risk-free real return rate represents an observable, market based risk-free rate of return after adjusting for inflation.
Changes in the measurement of the decommissioning provision are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset in property, plant and equipment. When a re-measurement of the decommissioning provision relates to a retired asset, the amount is recorded in earnings.

(2) | As at September 30, 2019, the balance includes $17 million of cash collected under take-or-pay contracts which will be recognized during the remainder of the year as the customer chooses to ship, process, or otherwise forego the associated service. |
Contract liabilities depict the Company's obligation to perform services in the future for which payment has been received from customers. Contract liabilities include up-front payments or non-cash consideration received from customers for future transportation, processing and storage services. Contract liabilities also include consideration received from customers for take-or-pay commitments where the customer has a make-up right to ship or process future volumes under a firm contract. These amounts are non-refundable should the customer not use its make-up rights.
The Company does not have any contract assets. In all instances where goods or services have been transferred to a customer in advance of the receipt of customer consideration, the Company's right to consideration is unconditional and has therefore been presented as a receivable.
