ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS | ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS ACQUISITION Moda Midstream Operating, LLC On October 12, 2021, through a wholly-owned US subsidiary, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in Moda for $3.7 billion (US$3.0 billion) of cash plus potential contingent payments of up to US$150 million dependent on performance of the assets (the Acquisition). The Acquisition is also subject to customary closing and working capital adjustments. Moda owns and operates a light crude export platform with very large crude carrier capability. The Acquisition aligns with and advances our US Gulf Coast export strategy and enables connectivity to low-cost and long-lived reserves in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins. We accounted for the Acquisition using the acquisition method as prescribed by ASC 805 Business Combinations. In accordance with valuation methodologies described in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as at the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the estimated preliminary fair values that were assigned to the net assets of Moda:
| October 12, 2021
(millions of Canadian dollars) |
Fair value of net assets acquired: |
Current assets | 62 |
Property, plant and equipment (a) | 1,480 |
Long-term investments (b) | 427 |
Intangible assets (c) | 1,781 |
Current liabilities | 59 |
Long-term liabilities | 17 |
Goodwill (d) | 268 |
Purchase price: |
Cash | 3,755 |
Contingent consideration (e) | 187 |
| 3,942 |
a) Due to the specialized nature of Moda's property, plant and equipment, which includes groups of assets configured for use as storage facilities, pipelines and export terminals, the depreciated replacement cost approach was adopted as the primary valuation methodology. In determining replacement cost, both indirect costing using relevant inflation indices and direct costing using relevant market quotes were utilized. Adjustments were then applied for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence. The fair value of land was determined using a market approach, which is based on rents and offerings for comparable properties. b) Long-term investments represent Moda's 20% equity interest in Cactus II Pipeline, LLC (Cactus II). The fair value of Cactus II was determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow method is an income-based approach to valuation which estimates the present value of future projected benefits from the investment. c) Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships associated with long-term take-or-pay contracts. Fair value was determined using an income-based approach by estimating the present value of the after-tax earnings attributable to the contracts, including earnings associated with expected renewal terms, and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over an expected useful life of 10 years. d) Goodwill is primarily attributable to uncontracted future revenues, existing assembled assets that cannot be duplicated at the same cost by a new entrant, and enhanced scale and geographic diversity which provide greater optionality and platforms for future growth. The goodwill balance recognized has been assigned to our Liquids Pipelines segment and is tax deductible over 15 years. e) We agreed to pay additional contingent consideration of up to US$150 million to Moda's former membership interest holders if Moda's monthly volumes of crude oil loaded onto a vessel equal or exceed specified throughput levels. These performance requirements terminate the earlier of December 31, 2023 or the date the final contingent payment is made. The US$150 million of contingent consideration recognized in the purchase price represents the fair value of contingent consideration at the date of acquisition. As at December 31, 2021, there were no changes to the amount of contingent consideration recognized. Acquisition-related expenses incurred were approximately $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are included in Operating and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Upon completion of the Acquisition, we began consolidating Moda. For the period beginning October 12, 2021 through to December 31, 2021, Moda generated approximately $80 million in operating revenues and $9 million in earnings attributable to common shareholders. Our supplemental pro forma consolidated financial information for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, including the results of operations for Moda as if the Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2020, are as follows:
Year ended December 31, | 2021 | 2020
(unaudited; millions of Canadian dollars) |  |
Operating revenues | 47,339 |  | 39,435 |
Earnings attributable to common shareholders 1,2 | 5,771 |  | 2,938 |
1 Acquisition-related expenses of $21 million (after-tax $16 million) were excluded from earnings attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31 2021 and deducted for the year ended December 31, 2020. 2 Includes the amortization of fair value adjustments recorded for acquired property, plant and equipment, long-term investments and intangible assets of $193 million and $207 million (after-tax of $145 million and $155 million) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. DISPOSITIONS Line 10 Crude Oil Pipeline In the first quarter of 2018, we satisfied the condition as set out in our agreements for the sale of our Line 10 crude oil pipeline (Line 10), which originates near Hamilton, Ontario and terminates at West Seneca, New York. Our subsidiaries, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. and Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (EEP), owned the Canadian and US portions of Line 10, respectively, and the related assets were included in our Liquids Pipelines segment. The transaction closed on June 1, 2020. No gain or loss on disposition was recorded. Montana-Alberta Tie Line In the fourth quarter of 2019, we committed to a plan to sell the Montana-Alberta Tie Line (MATL) transmission asset, a 345 kilometer transmission line from Great Falls, Montana to Lethbridge, Alberta. MATL was included in our Renewable Power Generation segment. The purchase and sale agreement was signed in January 2020. Upon the reclassification and subsequent remeasurement of MATL assets as held for sale, a loss of $297 million was included within Impairment of long-lived assets in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019. On May 1, 2020, we closed the sale of MATL for cash proceeds of approximately $189 million. After closing adjustments, a gain on disposal of $4 million was included in Other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Ozark Gas Transmission In the first quarter of 2020, we agreed to sell our Ozark Gas Transmission and Ozark Gas Gathering assets (Ozark assets). The Ozark assets are composed of a transmission system that extends from southeastern Oklahoma through Arkansas to southeastern Missouri, and a fee-based gathering system that accesses Fayetteville Shale and Arkoma production. These assets were included in our Gas Transmission and Midstream segment. On April 1, 2020, we closed the sale of the Ozark assets for cash proceeds of approximately $63 million. After closing adjustments, a gain on disposal of $1 million was included in Other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Canadian Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Businesses On July 4, 2018, we entered into agreements to sell our Canadian natural gas gathering and processing businesses to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and its institutional partners for a cash purchase price of approximately $4.3 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. Separate agreements were entered into for those facilities currently governed by provincial regulations and those governed by federal regulations (collectively, Canadian Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Businesses assets); these assets were part of our Gas Transmission and Midstream segment. On October 1, 2018, we closed the sale of the provincially regulated facilities. On December 31, 2019, we closed the sale of the federally regulated facilities for proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion. After closing adjustments, a loss on disposal of $268 million before tax was included in Other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019. As these assets represented a portion of a reporting unit, we allocated a portion of the goodwill of the reporting unit to these assets using a relative fair value approach. St. Lawrence Gas Company, Inc. In August 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell the issued and outstanding shares of St. Lawrence Gas Company, Inc. (St. Lawrence Gas). St. Lawrence Gas assets were included in the Gas Distribution and Storage segment. On November 1, 2019, we closed the sale of St. Lawrence Gas for cash proceeds of approximately $72 million. After closing adjustments, a loss on disposal of $10 million was included in Other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019. Enbridge Gas New Brunswick In December 2018, we entered into an agreement for the sale of Enbridge Gas New Brunswick Limited Partnership and Enbridge Gas New Brunswick Inc. (collectively, EGNB). EGNB assets were a part of our Gas Distribution and Storage segment. On October 1, 2019, we closed the sale of EGNB to Liberty Utilities (Canada) LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Algonquin Power and Utilities Corp., for cash proceeds of approximately $331 million. After closing adjustments, a loss on disposal of $3 million was included in Other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019. As EGNB assets represented a portion of a reporting unit, we allocated a portion of the goodwill of the reporting unit to these assets using a relative fair value approach. As such, allocated goodwill of $133 million was included in assets subsequently disposed.
