CEO COMMENT
“I’m pleased to report another year of strong safety, operational and financial performance across the enterprise. While geopolitical instability, persistent inflation and rising interest rates impacted the North American energy industry, Enbridge achieved its financial guidance for the 18 th year in a row. Our stable, low-risk, diversified business remains well positioned to grow earnings and dividends for shareholders for years to come." said Greg Ebel, President and CEO of Enbridge.
“The Enbridge team worked hard to execute our strategic priorities. In 2023, we announced approximately $23 billion of attractive acquisitions, placed $2 billion of secured capital into service and sanctioned $10 billion of new organic projects. In addition, we announced $3.1 billion of asset sales at attractive valuations and secured approximately 85% of the $19.1 billion of required financing for the gas utility acquisitions.
“We adhered to our capital allocation priorities as we continued to grow the company while maintaining our target leverage ratio and returning capital to shareholders through a sustainable and growing dividend.
"In Liquids Pipelines, we saw high utilization across our systems and set multiple throughput records. The Mainline transported annual average volumes of 3.1mmbpd anchored by December’s exit rate of 3.26mmbpd. The industry approved MTS settlement announced in May will help to ensure high utilization and first-choice service standards for years to come. In the U.S. Gulf Coast, both Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center (EIEC) and Gray Oak set annual records for throughput. Enbridge’s U.S. Gulf Coast infrastructure provides customers with the most cost-effective path from the Permian to tidewater and we are well positioned to take advantage of growing Permian production.
"In Gas Transmission, we continue to expand our existing infrastructure to support the growing demand for safe, reliable and affordable natural gas. We added over 100 bcf of combined gas storage between Aitken Creek in B.C. and Tres Palacios in the U.S. Gulf Coast. In the U.S. Northeast we concluded an open season on Algonquin Pipeline to expand deliveries to New England. Finally, we closed the first six acquisitions of the landfill-to-RNG facilities from Morrow Renewables.
"In Gas Distribution, we announced a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire large-scale gas utilities at historically attractive multiples. The assets operate in gas supportive jurisdictions and are expected to be accretive in their first full year of ownership. Our pro-forma gas distribution business will deliver approximately 9.3 Bcf/d of natural gas to 7 million customers, making it North America’s largest natural gas utility platform. These acquisitions are expected to balance Enbridge's earnings mix to approximately 50% Natural Gas and Renewables and 50% Liquids.
"In Ontario, EGI connected approximately 46,000 new customers to our network. We also received the Ontario Energy Board decision on Phase One of our 2024 rebasing application. We are actively working with the government of Ontario to address issues we see with the decision around affordability, consumer choice and reliability of gas to Ontario communities and industry.
"In Renewables, our scale continues to allow Enbridge to find select accretive projects. In 2023, we closed the acquisition of additional economic interests in the Hohe See and Albatros German offshore wind projects and announced the joint construction and operation of Fox Squirrel Solar. These projects are expected to be immediately accretive to DCF per share and complement both our growth outlook and energy transition contributions. Offshore in France, 50% of turbines have been installed at Fécamp and the 497MW project is expected to achieve commercial operation in the coming months.
“Our value proposition is underpinned by our disciplined approach to investment and balanced financial outlook. Looking to the future, we will continue to expand and modernize our infrastructure, driving growth and reducing emissions from our business. We believe that our balance sheet strength, secured growth backlog, proven execution capability, and growing dividend will drive value for our shareholders.

"Enbridge is committed to being the first-choice for our customers, communities, shareholders, regulators, policy makers and our employees. I'm proud of everything we accomplished this year and I look forward to building on those successes as we continue positioning Enbridge as the first-choice energy provider and investment opportunity."

1 Non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to Non-GAAP Reconciliations Appendices.
GAAP earnings attributable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by $2,793 million or $1.34 per share compared with the same period in 2022, primarily explained by the absence in 2023 of a non-cash goodwill impairment of $2.5 billion relating to the Gas Transmission reporting unit as a result of the increased cost of capital in addition to the operating performance factors discussed in detail below.
On a full year basis for 2023, GAAP earnings attributable to common shareholders was positively impacted by the goodwill impairment in 2022 discussed above, a non-cash, net unrealized derivative fair value gain of $1,127 million ($856 million after-tax) in 2023, compared with a net unrealized loss of $1,246 million ($950 million after-tax) in 2022, reflecting changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange, interest rate, and commodity risks; partially offset by the absence in 2023 of a non-cash gain of $1.1 billion ($732 million after-tax) on the closing of the joint venture merger transaction with Phillips 66 (P66) realigning our effective economic interests in Gray Oak and DCP Midstream LLC (DCP) and a realized loss of $638 million ($479 million after-tax) due to termination of foreign exchange hedges, as foreign exchange risks inherent within the Competitive Toll Settlement (CTS) framework are not present in the negotiated Mainline tolling agreement.
The period-over-period comparability of GAAP earnings attributable to common shareholders is impacted by certain unusual, infrequent factors or other non-operating factors which are noted in the reconciliation schedule included in Appendix A of this news release. Refer to the Company's annual Management's Discussion & Analysis for 2023 filed in conjunction with the year-end financial statements for a detailed discussion of GAAP financial results.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by $196 million compared with the same period in 2022. This was driven by higher Mainline volumes, higher contributions from the Midcontinent and Gulf Coast segment due to higher FSP volumes and record EIEC export volumes, higher Canadian utility rates and customer base, the expiration of certain transportation commitments in the Energy Services business and favorable USD/CAD hedge settlement rates. These impacts were partially offset by lower Mainline tolls effective July 1st, a lower Line 3 Replacement (L3R) surcharge and the timing of recognition of revenues attributable to the Texas Eastern rate case settlement in 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $0.9 billion compared with 2022.
This was primarily driven by the impact of the operating factors listed above as well as contributions from the Tres Palacios acquisition and the translation of U.S dollar denominated earnings. The average CAD to USD exchange rate in 2023 was $1.35 compared with $1.30 in 2022. These positive impacts were partially offset by a reduction in earnings from our investment in DCP as a result of our decreased interest due to the joint venture merger transaction with P66 that closed during the third quarter of 2022 and lower commodity prices impacting both DCP and Aux Sable.
Adjusted earnings in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by $92 million, or $0.01 per share, primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA contributions discussed above, partially offset by higher financing costs due to higher interest rates and higher depreciation expense from assets acquired and placed into service last year.
Adjusted earnings for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $51 million, and decreased by $0.02 per share compared with same period in 2022, primarily due to the factors discussed above as well as higher earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests from the sale of 11.57% non-operating interest in seven Enbridge-operated pipelines to Athabasca Indigenous Investments in Q3, 2022.
DCF for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by $69 million, primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA contributions discussed above, as well as the positive impact of the timing of maintenance capital spend and lower current income taxes over the period, partially offset by higher financing costs from higher interest rates and lower net distributions in excess of equity earnings.
DCF for the year ended December 31, 2023, increased by $284 million compared with 2022. This was
primarily driven by the same operating factors as listed above as well as higher annual cash distributions in excess of equity earnings from Gray Oak and DCP, partially offset by higher distributions to noncontrolling interests from the sale of 11.57% non-operating interest in seven Enbridge-operated pipelines to Athabasca Indigenous Investments and higher maintenance capital across the organization.
Both full year and quarterly per share metrics were impacted by the bought deal equity issuance in the third quarter of 2023, as part of the pre-funding and de-risking of the financing plan for the pending Acquisitions.
Detailed financial information and analysis can be found below under Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2023 Financial Results.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
The Company exceeded its midpoint 2023 financial guidance for both EBITDA and DCF, reflecting the resilient growth embedded in the business and highly predictable nature of its results. Enbridge has met its annual financial guidance for 18 consecutive years.
The Company reaffirms its 2024 base business financial guidance for adjusted EBITDA and DCF. Enbridge's financial guidance excludes EBITDA and DCF contributions from the Acquisitions announced on September 5, 2023.
4

Growth in 2024 is anticipated to be driven by contributions from recent acquisitions, assets placed into service, and toll escalators, partially offset by lower Mainline tolls, higher financing costs, and higher current income taxes.
Enbridge increased its 2024 quarterly dividend by 3.1% to $0.915 ($3.66 annualized) per share, commencing with the dividend payable March 1, 2024 to shareholders of record on February 15, 2024.
FINANCING UPDATE
Pre-Funding the Acquisitions
Since the announcement of the Acquisitions, Enbridge has pre-funded approximately $10 billion of the $12.8 billion (US$9.4 billion) cash consideration, significantly de-risking the execution of the Company’s funding plan.
This pre-funding included the issuance of 102.9 million common shares for gross proceeds of approximately CDN$4.6 billion inclusive of underwriters’ 15% over-allotment. The Company also issued US$2.0 billion of 60-year hybrid subordinated notes in the U.S. and $1.0 billion of 60-year hybrid subordinated notes in Canada (together the "Hybrid Issuances”) which will receive partial equity treatment from rating agencies. These Hybrid Issuances were substantially hedged at favorable interest rates relative to the market at the time of issuance. In the fourth quarter, Enbridge announced the sale of its interest in Alliance Pipeline and Aux Sable for $3.1 billion. A portion of the sales proceeds will be used to fund the Acquisitions and the remainder will be used for debt reduction.
Enbridge intends to use the aggregate net proceeds from the above pre-funding initiatives to pay down existing indebtedness in the near-term and ultimately finance a portion of the aggregate cash consideration payable for the Acquisitions. The remaining funding requirements can be readily satisfied through a variety of alternate sources, including the issuance of senior unsecured notes, the Company’s ongoing capital recycling program, the potential reinstatement of Enbridge’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and initiating At-The-Market common share issuances.
General
On November 6 th, 2023, Enbridge Inc. issued US$3.5 billion of senior notes consisting of US$750 million of 3-year senior notes, US$750 million of 5-year senior notes, US$750 million of 7-year senior notes, and US$1.25 billion of 30-year senior notes.
Proceeds from these offerings were used to repay short-term debt, for capital expenditures including tuck-in acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes.

SECURED GROWTH PROJECT EXECUTION UPDATE
Enbridge placed over $2 billion of growth projects into service in 2023 primarily made up of Gas Distribution's $1.2 billion of 2023 Utility Growth Capital, US$0.6 billion of GTM's 2023 modernization program and Phase I of the Fox Squirrel solar project.
During 2023, Enbridge added $10 billion of new organic growth capital to its backlog, predominantly from the U.S. Gas Utility growth program (assuming successful closings of the Acquisitions), the addition of the US$1.2 billion Rio Bravo Pipeline to the secured growth backlog and the increase to the Sunrise Expansion on T-South of $400 million. The Company's secured growth backlog now sits at $24 billion and is underpinned by commercial frameworks consistent with Enbridge's low-risk model.
BUSINESS UPDATES
Liquids Pipelines: Enbridge files Mainline Tolling Agreement with Canada Energy Regulator
On December 15, 2023, Enbridge filed an application with the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) for approval of the Mainline Tolling Settlement with unanimous support from its Representative Stakeholder Group. The MTS covers both the Canadian and U.S. portions of the Mainline and sees the Mainline continuing to operate as a common carrier system available to all shippers on a monthly nomination basis.
The expected financial outcome from this settlement is in line with previously reported financial results after taking into consideration the previously recognized provision, inflationary cost adjustments and increased volumes. The CER indicated in its process letter that it may decide on the application following its comment process or it may establish further process steps. The CER's comment period for the settlement closed on January 19, 2024 without opposition, with only letters of support.
The settlement term is seven and a half years through the end of 2028, with new interim tolls effective on July 1, 2023.
Liquids Pipelines: Enbridge concludes Flanagan South Open Season
The Company concluded the upsized open season for long-term contracted service on Flanagan South Pipeline. The 110 kbpd open season was fully subscribed, securing long-term strong utilization on the full Mainline pathway, from Western Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast. FSP is now 90% term-contracted on its 720 kbpd capacity. This is expected to help sustain strong Mainline utilization through the foreseeable future.
6

Liquids Pipelines: Enbridge concludes Southern Lights Open Season
During the fourth quarter, the Company initiated and concluded a binding open season on Southern Lights Canada Pipeline (SLCP) for 165 kbpd of existing capacity becoming available on July 1, 2025. Southern Lights Pipeline, which comprises both SLCP and Southern Lights U.S. Pipeline, is a 2,556-kilometre diluent pipeline originating at the Enbridge Manhattan Terminal in Illinois and terminating in Edmonton, Alberta. The open season was over-subscribed, ensuring long term utilization of the system through at least 2030.
Gas Transmission And Midstream: Enbridge announces sale of interest in Alliance Pipeline and Aux Sable
On December 13, 2023, Enbridge announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 50.0% interest in the Alliance Pipeline and its interest in Aux Sable (including 42.7% interest in Aux Sable Midstream LLC and Aux Sable Liquid Products L.P., and 50% interest in Aux Sable Canada LP) to Pembina Pipeline Corporation for $3.1 billion, including approximately $0.3 billion of non-recourse debt, subject to customary closing adjustments. The sale reflects an attractive valuation of approximately 11 times projected 2024 EBITDA for Alliance and approximately 7 times for Aux Sable.
The effective date of the transaction is January 1, 2024, with closing expected to occur in the first half of 2024, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. A portion of the proceeds will be used to pre-fund the Acquisitions and the remainder will be used for debt reduction.
Gas Transmission And Midstream: Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline Toll Settlement
The toll settlement agreement for the Canadian portion of Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline (M&N Canada) expired in December 2023. M&N Canada reached a toll settlement with shippers for the effective period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. On November 28, 2023, M&N Canada filed the 2024 - 2025 toll settlement agreement with the CER for review and approval. A CER decision is expected in the first quarter of 2024.
Gas Distribution and Storage: Enbridge's Acquisition of Gas Utilities from Dominion
On September 5, 2023, Enbridge entered into three separate definitive agreements with Dominion Energy, Inc. (Dominion) to acquire The East Ohio Gas Company, Questar Gas Company and its related Wexpro companies, and Public Service Company of North Carolina for an aggregate purchase price of $19.1 billion (US$14.0 billion), comprised of $12.8 billion (US$9.4 billion) of cash consideration and US$4.6 billion of assumed debt, subject to customary closing adjustments. The Acquisitions continue to be expected to close in 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required U.S. federal and state regulatory approvals. To date, the Company has significantly de-risked the funding plan for the Acquisitions, and retains considerable optionality to fund the balance.
In the weeks following the announcement of the Acquisitions, Enbridge established a dedicated integration team to ensure as seamless a transition of the gas utilities into the Company's existing operations as possible. Enbridge and Dominion's regulatory teams are in the process of securing the required U.S. federal and state regulatory approvals to complete the Acquisitions. The waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act expired on November 1, 2023. On January 11, 2024 Enbridge and Dominion received final clearance, without any required mitigation or condition, from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States for the Acquisitions.

Gas Distribution and Storage: Enbridge Gas Inc. Incentive Regulation Rate Application
On December 21, 2023, the OEB issued its Decision and Order on Phase 1 (Phase 1 Decision). The decision addressed three main areas: energy transition, Enbridge Gas Distribution and Union Gas amalgamation and harmonization issues, and other issues. The Phase 1 Decision included the following key findings or orders:
•energy transition risk requires us to carry out a risk assessment to consider further risk mitigation measures in three areas: system access and expansion capital spending, system renewal capital spending and depreciation policy;
•our 2024 capital plan must be reduced by $250 million with a focus on monitoring, repair and life extension of our assets and a further $50 million of capitalized indirect overhead costs must be expensed, escalating to $250 million per year during the IR term with an offsetting adjustment to revenues in each year;
•all new small volume customers wishing to connect to natural gas pay their full connection costs as an upfront charge rather than through rates over time effective January 1, 2025;
•approval of a harmonized depreciation methodology that reduced the level of depreciation sought and adjusted asset lives including extensions of service life for certain asset classes;
•an increase in equity thickness from 36% to 38% effective for 2024; and
•January 1, 2024 will be the effective date for 2024 rates.
Enbridge has expressed concerns with certain aspects of the decision which impact energy affordability, consumer choice and the reliability of gas to Ontario communities and industry. In response, the Company will continue working with the Ontario provincial government to address those concerns.
Enbridge filed a Notice of Appeal in the Ontario Divisional Court on January 22, 2024 regarding four aspects of the Phase 1 Decision: small volume customer revenue horizon, the 2024 capital plan reduction, the extension of service life for certain asset classes and equity thickness. On January 29, 2024 Enbridge also filed a Notice of Motion with the OEB requesting the OEB to review five aspects of the Phase 1 Decision: small volume customer revenue horizon, the 2024 capital plan reduction, integration capital, depreciation and equity thickness. The outcome of these proceedings is uncertain.
The Phase 1 Decision results in interim rates, pending phases 2 and 3 of the proceeding, resolution of the Notice of Appeal, Notice of Motion and any possible legislative steps that could be undertaken by the Government of Ontario further to the Minister of Energy's December 22, 2023 news release described in Objectives and Strategy. Phase 2 will establish and determine the incentive rate mechanism for the remainder of the rebasing term, and gas cost and unregulated storage cost allocation. Phase 3 will address cost allocation and the harmonization of rates and rate classes between legacy rate zones
The Phase 1 Decision is expected to be immaterial to Enbridge's 2024 financial guidance.
Renewable Power: Fox Squirrel Solar Farm
In the fourth quarter of 2023, Enbridge announced a partnership with EDF Renewables to construct and operate Fox Squirrel Solar, a 577 MW ground-mounted solar facility under construction in Madison County, Ohio. Enbridge invested a total of US$152 million in the now operational first phase of the development and plans to invest in the following two phases during 2024, assuming certain conditions are met. The full generation capacity is de-risked by 20 year fixed-price power purchase agreements with a strong investment grade counterparty. The project is expected to be immediately accretive to DCF per share.

Refer to Enbridge’s Application for a Toll Order respecting the implementation of the L3R Surcharges and CER Order TO-003-2021 for further details.
Liquids Pipelines adjusted EBITDA increased $66 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily related to:
•higher contributions from the Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent System due primarily to increased volumes on FSP and higher export demand at the EIEC;
•higher Southern Lights revenue from uncommitted volumes; and
•higher Mainline System throughput driven by higher crude demand; partially offset by
•lower Mainline System tolls as a result of new interim tolls effective July 1, 2023 and a lower L3R surcharge
Full year 2023 Liquids Pipelines adjusted EBITDA increased $635 million compared with 2022 and was primarily impacted by the same factors discussed above as well as:
•the favorable effect of translating US dollar earnings at a higher average exchange rate in 2023, as compared to 2022; and
•higher contributions from the Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent System due primarily to increased ownership of Gray Oak Pipeline and Cactus II Pipeline acquired in the second half of 2022, partially offset by
•higher power costs as a result of increased volumes and power prices.

Gas Transmission and Midstream adjusted EBITDA decreased $33 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily related to:
•timing of recognition of revenues attributable to the Texas Eastern rate case in 2022; and
•lower Midstream contributions from lower commodity prices impacting our DCP and Aux Sable joint ventures; partially offset by
•contributions from the Tres Palacios acquisition that closed during second quarter of 2023.
Full year 2023 Gas Transmission and Midstream adjusted EBITDA decreased $19 million compared with 2022 and was primarily impacted by the same factors discussed above as well as:
•a reduction in earnings from our investment in DCP as a result of our decreased interest due to the
joint venture merger transaction with P66 that closed during the third quarter of 2022;
•higher operating costs; and
•lower AECO-Chicago basis differential impacting our investment in Alliance Pipeline, partially offset by
•the favorable effect of translating US dollar earnings at a higher average exchange rate in 2023, as compared to 2022;
•favorable contracting on our US Gas Transmission and Storage assets;
•the full-year recognition of revenues attributable to the Texas Eastern rate case settlement effective for 2023; and

2 Number of active customers is the number of natural gas consuming customers at the end of the reported period.
3 Heating degree days is a measure of coldness that is indicative of volumetric requirements for natural gas utilized for heating purposes in EGI's distribution franchise areas.
4 Normal weather is the weather forecast by EGI in its legacy rate zones, using the forecasting methodologies approved by the Ontario Energy Board.
Gas Distribution and Storage adjusted EBITDA will typically follow a seasonal profile. It is generally highest in the first and fourth quarters of the year reflecting greater volumetric demand during the heating season. The magnitude of the seasonal EBITDA fluctuations will vary from year-to-year reflecting the impact of colder or warmer than normal weather on distribution volumes.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter increased $52 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily related to:
•higher distribution charges resulting from increases in rates and customer base; partially offset by
•the negative impact of warmer weather than for the same period of 2022.
When compared with the normal forecast embedded in rates, the negative impact of weather was approximately $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to a negative impact of approximately $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Full year 2023 Gas Distribution and Storage adjusted EBITDA increased by $17 million compared with 2022 and was primarily impacted by the same factors discussed above as well as:
•higher demand in the contract market; partially offset by
•when compared with the normal weather forecast embedded in rates, warmer than normal weather in 2023 negatively impacted 2023 EBITDA by approximately $86 million year over year.

1 Non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to Non-GAAP Reconciliations Appendices.
Renewable Power Generation adjusted EBITDA increased $19 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily related to:
•higher contributions from the Hohe See and Albatros Offshore Wind Facilities as a result of the November 2023 acquisition of an additional 24.5% interest in these facilities; partially offset by
•weaker wind resources globally and lower energy pricing in both European and U.S. wind markets.
Full year 2023 Renewable Power Generation adjusted EBITDA increased $9 million and was primarily impacted by the same factors discussed above as well as:
•fees earned on certain wind and solar development contracts; and
•contributions from the Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Project, which reached full operating capacity in December 2022; partially offset by
•weaker wind resources at Canadian and U.S. onshore wind facilities.

Adjusted EBITDA from Energy Services is dependent on market conditions and results achieved in one period may not be indicative of results to be achieved in future periods.
Energy Services adjusted EBITDA increased $35 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily related to:
•the expiration of certain transportation commitments; and
•less pronounced market structure backwardation as compared to the same period of 2022; partially offset by
•lower margins realized on facilities where we hold capacity obligations and storage opportunities.
Full year 2023 Energy Services adjusted EBITDA increased $263 million and was primarily impacted by the same factors discussed above as well as:
•more favorable margins realized on facilities where we hold capacity obligations and storage opportunities for the full year as compared to 2022.
Effective January 1, 2024, to better align with our organizational structure, Enbridge transferred the Canadian and U.S. crude oil businesses from the Energy Services segment to the Liquids Pipelines reporting segment. The remainder of the business will be reported in the Eliminations and Other segment. This change has no impact on the Company's 2024 financial guidance.

Operating and administrative recoveries captured in this segment reflect the cost of centrally delivered services (including depreciation of corporate assets) inclusive of amounts recovered from business units for the provision of those services. U.S. dollar denominated earnings within operating segment results are translated at average foreign exchange rates during the quarter, and the impact of settlements made under the Company's enterprise foreign exchange hedging program are captured in this corporate segment.
Eliminations and Other adjusted EBITDA increased $57 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 due to higher investment income and lower realized foreign exchange losses from hedge settlements; partially offset by timing of operating costs.
Full year 2023 Eliminations and Other adjusted EBITDA increased $18 million compared with 2022 due
to higher investment income from the pre-funding of the Acquisitions.

Fourth quarter 2023 DCF increased $69 million compared with the same period of 2022 primarily due to operational factors discussed above contributing to higher Adjusted EBITDA, as well as:
•timing of maintenance capital spend compared to the prior year; and
•lower current income tax due to lower taxable earnings resulting from a revised interim Mainline tariff effective July 1, 2023, partially offset by
•higher interest rates impacting floating-rate debt and issuances attributable to Acquisitions pre-funding; and
•lower net distributions in excess of equity earnings for the quarter.
Full year 2023 DCF increased $284 million compared with 2022 results primarily due to the factors discussed above as well as:
•higher full-year cash distributions in excess of equity earnings due to St. Nazaire entering service at the end of 2022 and lower earnings from DCP, partially offset by;
•higher distributions to noncontrolling interests from the sale of an 11.57% non-operating interest in seven Enbridge-operated pipelines to Athabasca Indigenous Investments in 2022; and
•higher annual maintenance capital across the organization.
Both full year and quarterly per share metrics were negatively impacted by the bought deal equity issuance in the third quarter of 2023, as part the pre-funding and de-risking of the funding plan for the pending Acquisitions.

Although Enbridge believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the date such statements are made and processes used to prepare the information, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions include assumptions about the following: the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG and renewable energy; prices of crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG and renewable energy; anticipated utilization of our assets; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; availability and price of labour and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; operational reliability and performance; maintenance of support and regulatory approvals for our projects, transactions and rate applications, including the Acquisitions and the Dispositions; anticipated in-service dates; weather; announced and potential acquisition, disposition and other corporate transactions and projects and the timing and benefits thereof, including with respect to the Acquisitions and the Dispositions; governmental legislation; litigation; credit ratings; hedging program; expected EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA; expected earnings/ (loss) and adjusted earnings/(loss); expected earnings/(loss) or adjusted earnings/(loss) per share; expected future cash flows; expected future DCF and DCF per share; estimated future dividends; financial strength and flexibility; debt and equity market conditions; and general economic and competitive conditions. Assumptions regarding the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL, LNG and renewable energy and the prices of these commodities are material to and underlie all forward looking statements, as they may impact current and future levels of demand for our services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation and interest rates impact the economies and business environments in which we operate and may impact levels of demand for our services and cost of inputs and are therefore inherent in all forward-looking statements. The most relevant assumptions associated with forward-looking statements regarding announced projects and projects under construction, including estimated completion dates and expected capital expenditures, include the following: the availability and price of labour and construction materials; the stability of our supply chain; the effects of inflation and foreign exchange rates on labour and material costs; the effects of interest rates on borrowing costs; the impact of weather; the timing and closing of acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions and the realization of anticipated benefits therefrom; and customer, government, court and regulatory approvals on construction and in-service schedules and cost recovery regimes.
Enbridge’s forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the successful execution of our strategic priorities; operating performance; regulatory parameters and decisions, including with respect to the Mainline Tolling Settlement and Gas Distribution’s incentive regulation rate application; litigation; acquisitions and dispositions and other transactions, and the realization of anticipated benefits therefrom, including the Acquisitions and Dispositions; project approval and support; renewals of rights-of-way; weather; economic and competitive conditions; global geopolitical conditions; political decisions; public opinion; dividend policy; changes in tax laws and tax rates; exchange rates; interest rates; inflation; commodity prices; and supply of and demand for commodities, including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this news release and in Enbridge’s other filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators. The impact of any one assumption, risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty, as these are interdependent and our future course of action depends on management’s assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Enbridge assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this news release or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS APPENDICES
This news release contains references to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per common share and DCF. Management believes the presentation of these metrics gives useful information to investors and shareholders, as they provide increased transparency and insight into the performance of the Company.
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors on both a consolidated and segmented basis. Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to set targets and to assess the performance of the Company and its business units.
Adjusted earnings represent earnings attributable to common shareholders adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors included in adjusted EBITDA, as well as adjustments for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors in respect of depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests on a consolidated basis. Management uses adjusted earnings as another measure of the Company’s ability to generate earnings.
DCF is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities before the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities (including changes in environmental liabilities) less distributions to noncontrolling interests, preference share dividends and maintenance capital expenditures and further adjusted for unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors. Management also uses DCF to assess the performance of the Company and to set its dividend payout target.
This news release also contains references to Debt-to-EBITDA, a non-GAAP ratio which utilizes adjusted EBITDA as one of its components. Debt-to-EBITDA is used as a liquidity measure to indicate the amount of adjusted earnings to pay debt, as calculated on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), before covering interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios to comparable
GAAP measures are not available due to the challenges and impracticability of estimating certain items, particularly certain contingent liabilities and non-cash unrealized derivative fair value losses and gains subject to market variability. Because of those challenges, a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios is not available without unreasonable effort.
Our non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios described above are not measures that have standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not U.S. GAAP measures. Therefore, these measures may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.
The tables below provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures.
