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, 2022, except as described in Note 2, Accounting changes. Capitalized and abbreviated terms that are used but not otherwise defined herein are identified in the 2022 audited Consolidated financial statements included in TC Energy’s 2022 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 2022 audited Consolidated financial statements included in TC Energy’s 2022 Annual Report. Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to reflect 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 primarily due to:
•Natural gas pipelines segments – the timing of regulatory decisions and negotiated rate case settlements as well as seasonal fluctuations in short-term throughput volumes on U.S. pipelines and marketing activities
•Liquids Pipelines – fluctuations in throughput volumes on the Keystone Pipeline System and marketing activities
•Power and Energy Solutions – the impacts of seasonal weather conditions on customer demand, market supply and prices of natural gas and power as well as maintenance outages in certain of the Company’s investments in electrical power generation plants and Canadian non-regulated natural gas storage facilities.
In addition to the factors mentioned above, revenues and segmented earnings are impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, mainly related to the Company's U.S. dollar-denominated operations and Mexican peso-denominated exposure.
Use of Estimates and Judgments
In preparing these Condensed consolidated 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, 2022, except as described in Note 2, Accounting changes.
56 | TC Energy Second Quarter 2023
Asset divestiture program
As part of the $5+ billion asset divestiture program announced in 2022, subsequent to June 30, 2023, TC Energy reached an agreement to sell a 40 per cent equity interest in Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (Columbia Gas) and Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC (Columbia Gulf). In conjunction with the process leading up to the sale, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test as at June 30, 2023. Refer to Note 16, Subsequent events, for additional information on this sale transaction.
The estimated fair value measurements used in the Company's goodwill impairment analysis are classified as Level III. In the determination of the fair value utilized in the quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Columbia reporting unit, the Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis using projections of future cash flows and applied a risk-adjusted discount rate and terminal value multiple which involved significant estimates and judgments. It was determined that the fair value of the Columbia reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. Although goodwill was not impaired, the estimated fair value in excess of the carrying value was reduced to less than 10 per cent. There is a risk that reductions in future cash flow forecasts and adverse changes in other key assumptions could result in a future impairment of a portion of the goodwill balance relating to Columbia.
2. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Future Accounting Changes
Leases
In March 2023, the FASB issued new guidance that clarified the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with common control leases. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2024 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, with early application permitted. The Company will adopt the guidance on a prospective basis starting January 1, 2024.

Long-term contract liabilities | 10 | | | 32 | | | Other long-term liabilities |
1During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $37 million (2022 – $32 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 represent unearned revenue for contracted services.
Future Revenues from Remaining Performance Obligations
As at June 30, 2023, future revenues from long-term pipeline capacity arrangements and transportation as well as natural gas storage and other contracts extending through 2055 are approximately $23.6 billion, of which approximately $3.7 billion is expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2023.

5. COASTAL GASLINK
Subordinated Loan Agreement
Committed capacity under the subordinated loan agreement between TC Energy and Coastal GasLink LP was $1.3 billion at December 31, 2022 and increased to $3.3 billion at June 30, 2023 to align with the Company's expected funding requirements.
Any amounts outstanding on the loan will be repaid by Coastal GasLink LP to TC Energy, once final project costs are known, which will be determined after the pipeline is placed in service. Coastal GasLink LP partners, including TC Energy, will contribute equity to Coastal GasLink LP to ultimately fund Coastal GasLink LP’s repayment of this subordinated loan to TC Energy. The Company expects that these additional equity contributions will be predominantly funded by TC Energy.
Amounts drawn on this loan subsequent to the amended agreements executed in July 2022 are accounted for as in-substance equity contributions and are presented as Contributions to equity investments on the Company’s Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Interest and principal repayments on this loan, which are expected to be predominantly funded by TC Energy, will be accounted for as an equity investment distribution to the Company once received.
In the six months ended June 30, 2023, $1,035 million was drawn on the loan and $250 million was repaid.
In July 2023, an additional $400 million was drawn on the subordinated loan and will be subject to impairment in future reporting periods along with future draws on this loan.
Impairment of Equity Investment in Coastal GasLink LP
With the expectation that additional equity contributions under the subordinated loan agreement will be predominantly funded by TC Energy, the Company completed a valuation assessment and concluded that the fair value of its investment in Coastal GasLink LP was below its carrying value at June 30, 2023 and that this was an other-than-temporary impairment. As a result, a pre-tax impairment charge of $843 million ($809 million after tax) and $856 million ($838 million after tax) was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, in Impairment of equity investment in the Condensed consolidated statement of income in the Canadian Natural Gas Pipelines segment, which reduced the carrying values of the investment in Coastal GasLink LP and the loan receivable from affiliate to nil at June 30, 2023. The impairment charge reflected the net impact of the $1,035 million draw and the $250 million repayment on the subordinated loan for the six months ended June 30, 2023, along with TC Energy’s proportionate share of unrealized gains and losses on interest rate derivatives in Coastal GasLink LP and other changes to the equity investment. The impairment of the subordinated loan resulted in unrealized non-taxable capital losses that are not recognized.
The fair value of TC Energy’s investment in Coastal GasLink LP at June 30, 2023 was estimated using a 40-year discounted cash flow model consistent with the Company's fair value assessment at December 31, 2022. Refer to TC Energy's 2022 Consolidated financial statements for additional information.
TC Energy expects that a portion of its future investment will be impaired; however, the majority of its total expected impairment charge has been recognized as at June 30, 2023. The Company will continue to assess for other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of its investment in Coastal GasLink LP, and the extent of any future impairment charges will depend on the outcome of the valuation assessment performed at the respective reporting date.

6. INCOME TAXES
Effective Tax Rates
The effective income tax rates were 27 per cent and 26 per cent for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The slight increase in effective income tax rate was due to unrealized non-taxable capital losses from the Coastal GasLink impairment and Mexico foreign exchange exposure in 2023, mostly offset by the 2022 settlement of Mexico income tax assessments and the non-tax deductible portion of the Great Lakes goodwill impairment.
7. KEYSTONE ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISION
In December 2022, a pipeline incident occurred in Washington County, Kansas on the Keystone Pipeline System. At December 31, 2022, the Company accrued an environmental remediation liability of $650 million, before expected insurance recoveries and not including potential fines and penalties which continue to be indeterminable. At June 30, 2023, the cost estimate for the incident has been adjusted to $794 million based on a review of costs and commitments incurred. The accrual reflects certain assumptions and, therefore, it is reasonably possible that the Company will incur additional costs beyond the amounts accrued. To the extent costs beyond the amounts accrued are incurred, they will be evaluated under the Company's existing insurance policies. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, amounts paid for the environmental remediation liability were $433 million (2022 – nil). The remaining balance reflected in Accounts payable and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Company’s Condensed consolidated balance sheet was $361 million and $8 million, respectively at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – $650 million and nil, respectively).
At June 30, 2023, the expected recovery of the remaining estimated environmental remediation costs recorded in Other current assets and Other long-term assets was $528 million and $32 million, respectively (December 31, 2022 – $410 million and $240 million, respectively). For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received $194 million (2022 – nil) from its insurance policies related to the costs for environmental remediation. The additional amounts accrued at June 30, 2023 for environmental remediation costs related to this incident included $36 million that TC Energy estimates to be recoverable from its wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, which was recorded in Interest income and other in the Condensed consolidated statement of income. The Company expects remediation activities to be substantially completed in 2023.

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 its earnings, cash flows and, ultimately, shareholder value.
Counterparty Credit Risk
TC Energy’s exposure to counterparty credit risk includes its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and certain contractual recoveries, available-for-sale assets, the fair value of derivative assets, net investment in leases and contract assets.
Market events causing disruptions in global energy demand and supply may contribute to economic uncertainties impacting a number of TC Energy's customers. While the majority of the Company's credit exposure is to large creditworthy entities, TC Energy maintains close monitoring and communication with those counterparties experiencing greater financial pressures. Refer to TC Energy's 2022 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 reasonable and supportable forecasts to determine any impairment, which is recognized in Plant operating costs and other.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a recovery of $8 million and $103 million, respectively (2022 – nil) on the ECL provision before tax with respect to the net investment in leases associated with the in-service TGNH pipelines and a recovery of $1 million and $12 million, respectively (2022 – nil) on the ECL provision for contract assets related to certain other Mexico natural gas pipelines. At June 30, 2023, the balance of the ECL provision was $46 million (December 31, 2022 – $149 million) with respect to the net investment in leases associated with the in-service TGNH pipelines and $2 million (December 31, 2022 – $14 million) related to certain other Mexico natural gas pipelines. The ECL provision is driven primarily by a probability of default measure for the counterparty that is published by an external third party. There was significant volatility in the probability of default during first quarter 2023 which, when combined with the size and contract term of the Company's net investment in leases, resulted in a significant change in the provision in the six months ended June 30, 2023.
At June 30, 2023, the Company had no significant credit losses, other than the ECL provisions noted above, and there were no significant credit risk concentrations or amounts past due or impaired.
TC Energy has significant credit and performance exposure to financial institutions that hold cash deposits and provide committed credit lines and letters of credit that help manage the Company's exposure to counterparties and provide liquidity in commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate derivative markets. TC Energy's portfolio of financial sector exposure consists primarily of highly-rated investment grade, systemically important financial institutions. The Company had no direct exposure to the U.S. regional bank failures in early 2023; however, it continues to monitor potential impacts on its portfolio of financial sector counterparties.

Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value of non-derivative financial instruments
Available-for-sale assets are recorded at fair value which is calculated using quoted market prices where available. Certain non-derivative financial instruments included in Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Other current assets, Restricted investments, Net investment in leases, Other long-term assets, Notes payable, Accounts payable and other, Dividends payable, 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 financial instruments.

3Realized gains (losses) on the sale of LMCI restricted investments are determined using the average cost basis.
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.
TC Energy Second Quarter 2023 | 73
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.
The recognition of gains and losses on derivatives for Canadian natural gas regulated pipeline exposures is determined through the regulatory process. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives accounted for as part of rate-regulated accounting, including those that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, are expected to be refunded or recovered through the tolls charged by the Company. As a result, these gains and losses are deferred as regulatory liabilities or regulatory assets and are refunded to or collected from the rate payers in subsequent years when the derivative settles.

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 tables show 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 $92 million and letters of credit of $80 million at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – $138 million and $68 million, respectively) to its counterparties. At June 30, 2023, the Company held cash collateral of less than $1 million and $155 million letters of credit (December 31, 2022 – less than $1 million and $10 million, respectively) from counterparties on asset exposures.
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.
78 | TC Energy Second Quarter 2023
Based on contracts in place and market prices at June 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $11 million (December 31, 2022 – $19 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 June 30, 2023, the Company would have been required to provide collateral equal to the fair value of the related derivative instruments discussed above. 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 includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low. The Company uses the most observable inputs available or alternatively long-term broker quotes or negotiated commodity prices that have been contracted for under similar terms in determining an appropriate estimate of these transactions. Where appropriate, these long-dated prices are discounted to reflect the expected pricing from the applicable markets. 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, were categorized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
at June 30, 2023 | | Quoted prices in active markets (Level I) | | Significant other observable inputs (Level II)1 | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level III)1 | | |

1There were no transfers from Level II to Level III for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
In 2023, the Company entered into contracts to sell 50 MW of power commencing in 2025 with terms ranging from 15 to 20 years and provided from specified renewable sources in the Province of Alberta. The fair value of these contracts is classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy and is based on the assumption that the contract volumes will be sourced approximately 80 per cent from wind generation, 10 per cent from solar generation and 10 per cent from the market.

13. ACQUISITIONS
Texas Wind Farms
On March 15, 2023, TC Energy closed the acquisition of 100 per cent of the Class B Membership Interests in the 155 MW Fluvanna Wind Farm (Fluvanna) located in Scurry County, Texas for US$99 million, before post-closing adjustments. On June 14, 2023, the Company closed the acquisition of 100 per cent of the Class B Membership Interests in the 148 MW Blue Cloud Wind Farm (Blue Cloud) located in Bailey County, Texas for US$125 million, before post-closing adjustments. The Fluvanna and Blue Cloud assets have tax equity investors that own 100 per cent of the Class A Membership Interests, to which a percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows are allocated.
TC Energy determined it has a controlling financial interest in both projects and has consolidated the acquired entities as voting interest entities. The tax equity investors’ interests were recorded as non-controlling interests at their estimated fair values of $106 million (US$80 million) for Fluvanna and $116 million (US$87 million) for Blue Cloud. These transactions are accounted for as asset acquisitions and therefore did not result in the recognition of goodwill.
TC Energy has determined that the use of the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method of allocating earnings between the Company and the tax equity investors is appropriate as the earnings, tax attributes and cash flows from Fluvanna and Blue Cloud are allocated to its Class A and Class B Membership Interest owners on a basis other than ownership percentages. Using the HLBV method, the Company's earnings from the projects is calculated based on how the projects would allocate and distribute cash if the net assets were sold at their carrying amounts on the reporting date under the provisions of the tax equity agreements.

14. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
Commitments
Capital expenditure commitments at June 30, 2023 have increased by approximately $0.5 billion from those reported at December 31, 2022, reflecting new contractual commitments entered into for the construction of the Southeast Gateway pipeline and other capital projects, partially offset by normal course fulfillment of construction contracts.
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 normal course proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
2016 Columbia Pipeline Acquisition Lawsuit
On June 30, 2023, the Delaware Chancery Court (the Court) issued a ruling against TC Energy and other named defendants in a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of the former shareholders of Columbia Pipeline Group Inc. (Columbia) related to the acquisition of Columbia by TC Energy in July 2016. The Court determined that Columbia's then CEO and CFO breached their fiduciary duties and made material disclosure omissions and that TC Energy was aware and took advantage of those breaches. The Court awarded shareholders damages in the amount of US$1 per share. The final award is yet to be determined but is expected to be in the range of US$400 million, plus interest at the statutory rate. Liability for this award will be allocated between Columbia’s former executives and TC Energy in a subsequent proceeding before the Court that will determine proportionate responsibility and account for the prior settlement. Until this allocation is known, the amount that TC Energy is liable for cannot be reasonably estimated, therefore, the Company has not accrued a provision for this claim as at June 30, 2023.
TC Energy will not be responsible for the full amount of the award, but its proportionate share will not be known until the allocation hearing is completed. The Company strongly disagrees with the ruling and intends to appeal once the final judgment is entered and the allocation is determined. The same Court had previously confirmed, after trial in an appraisal rights action filed in 2016, that the US$25.50 per share that TC Energy paid Columbia shareholders was fair value.
Guarantees
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 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 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.

On July 24, 2023, TC Energy announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell a 40 per cent equity interest in Columbia Gas and Columbia Gulf to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for proceeds of $5.2 billion (US$3.9 billion).

Spinoff of Liquids Pipelines Business
On July 27, 2023, TC Energy announced plans to separate into two independent, investment-grade, publicly listed companies through the spinoff of its Liquids Pipelines business (the Transaction). The Transaction is expected to be tax free to TC Energy’s Canadian and U.S. shareholders. In addition to TC Energy shareholder and court approvals, the Transaction is subject to receipt of favourable tax rulings from Canadian and U.S. tax authorities, receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. TC Energy expects that the Transaction will be completed in the second half of 2024.
Under the proposed Transaction, TC Energy shareholders will retain their current ownership in TC Energy’s common shares and receive a pro-rata allocation of common shares in the new Liquids Pipelines Company. The determination of the number of common shares in the new Liquids Pipelines Company to be distributed to TC Energy shareholders will be determined prior to the closing of the proposed Transaction.
