CONVENTIONS

The terms "we", "our", "us" and "Enbridge" as used in this report refer collectively to Enbridge Inc. unless the context suggests otherwise. These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any separate legal entity within Enbridge.

Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, all references to “dollars”, “$” or “C$” are to Canadian dollars and all references to “US$” are to United States dollars. All amounts are provided on a before tax basis, unless otherwise stated.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Forward-looking information, or forward-looking statements, have been included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to provide information about us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, including management’s assessment of our and our subsidiaries’ future plans and operations. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as ‘‘anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “intend”, “likely”, “plan”, “project”, “target” and similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. Forward-looking information or statements included or incorporated by reference in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the following: our corporate vision and strategy, including strategic priorities and enablers; the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration and impact thereof; the expected supply of, demand for and prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquified natural gas and renewable energy; anticipated utilization of our existing assets; expected earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); expected earnings/(loss); expected future cash flows; expected distributable cash flow; expected debt-to-EBITDA ratio; financial strength and flexibility; expectations on sources of liquidity and sufficiency of financial resources; expected strategic priorities and performance of the Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Midstream, Gas Distribution and Storage, Renewable Power Generation and Energy Services businesses; expected costs related to announced projects and projects under construction; expected in-service dates for announced projects and projects under construction; expected capital expenditures; expected equity funding requirements for our commercially secured growth program; expected future growth and expansion opportunities; expectations about our joint venture partners’ ability to complete and finance projects under construction; expected closing of acquisitions and dispositions and the timing thereof; expected benefits of transactions, including the realization of efficiencies and synergies; expected future actions of regulators and related court proceedings and other litigation; anticipated competition; United States Line 3 Replacement Program (U.S. L3R Program); Line 5 related matters; the status of the Dakota Access Pipeline; estimated future dividends; our dividend payout policy; dividend growth and dividend payout expectation; and expectations on impact of our hedging program.

Although we believe 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 and risks include the following: the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration and impact thereof; the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL) and renewable energy; prices of crude oil, natural gas, NGL and renewable energy, including the current weakness and volatility of such prices; anticipated utilization of our existing assets; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; availability and price of labor and construction materials; operational reliability; customer and regulatory approvals; maintenance of support and regulatory approvals for our projects; anticipated in-service dates; weather; the timing and closing of acquisitions and dispositions; the realization of anticipated benefits and synergies of transactions; governmental legislation; impact of our dividend policy on our future cash flows; our credit ratings; capital project funding; expected EBITDA; expected earnings/(loss); expected future cash flows; expected distributable cash flow; and estimated future dividends. Assumptions regarding the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL 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. Due to the interdependencies and correlation of these macroeconomic factors, the impact of any one assumption on a forward-looking statement cannot be determined with certainty, particularly with respect to expected EBITDA, expected earnings/(loss), expected future cash flows, expected distributable cash flow or estimated future dividends.


The most relevant assumptions associated with forward-looking statements on announced projects and projects under construction, including estimated completion dates and expected capital expenditures, include the following: the availability and price of labor and construction materials; the effects of inflation and foreign exchange rates on labor and material costs; the effects of interest rates on borrowing costs; the impact of weather and customer, government and regulatory approvals on construction and in-service schedules and cost recovery regimes; and the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration and impact thereof.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the successful execution of our strategic priorities, operating performance, regulatory parameters, changes in regulations applicable to our business, acquisitions, dispositions and other transactions, our dividend policy, project approval and support, renewals of rights-of-way, weather, economic and competitive conditions, public opinion, changes in tax laws and tax rates, changes in trade agreements, exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices, political decisions, supply of and demand for commodities, and the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration and impact thereof, including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with Canadian and United States securities regulators. The impact of any one 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 Inc. assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q 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.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Enbridge Inc. ("we", "our", "us" and "Enbridge") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and Regulation S-X for interim consolidated financial information. They do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those included in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new standards (Note 2). Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
 
Our operations and earnings for interim periods can be affected by seasonal fluctuations within the gas distribution utility businesses, as well as other factors such as the supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and may not be indicative of annual results.

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Clarifying Interaction between Collaborative Arrangements and Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-18 on a retrospective basis. The new standard was issued in November 2018 to provide clarity on when transactions between entities in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under the new revenue standard, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606. In determining whether transactions in collaborative arrangements should be accounted for under the revenue standard, the update specifies that entities shall apply unit of account guidance to identify distinct goods or services and whether such goods and services are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. ASU 2018-18 also precludes entities from presenting transactions with a collaborative partner which are not in scope of the new revenue standard together with revenue from contracts with customers. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure Effectiveness
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-13 on both a retrospective and prospective basis depending on the change. The new standard was issued to improve the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by eliminating and modifying some disclosures, while also adding new disclosures. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.



Accounting for Credit Losses
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis.

The new standard was issued in June 2016 with the intent of providing financial statement users with more useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The previous accounting treatment used the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses that delayed the recognition until it was probable a loss had been incurred. The accounting update adds a new impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model, which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the Financial Accounting Standards Board believes results in more timely recognition of such losses.

Further, ASU 2018-19 was issued in November 2018 to clarify that operating lease receivables should be accounted for under the new leases standard, ASC 842, and are not within the scope of ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.

For accounts receivable, a loss allowance matrix is utilized to measure lifetime expected credit losses. The matrix contemplates historical credit losses by age of receivables, adjusted for any forward-looking information and management expectations. Other loan receivables and off-balance sheet commitments in scope of the new standard utilize a discounted cash flow methodology which calculates the current expected credit losses based on historical default probability rates associated with the credit rating of the counterparty and the related term of the loan or commitment, adjusted for forward-looking information and management expectations.

On January 1, 2020 we recorded $66 million of additional Deficit on our Statements of Financial Position in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-13. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income or Cash Flows during the period.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
Reference Rate Reform
ASU 2020-04 was issued in March 2020 to provide temporary optional guidance in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles when accounting for contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions impacted by rate reform, subject to meeting certain criteria. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We had no transactions to which the ASU was applied since adoption and we are currently assessingconsidering the impact of the new standard and thereference rate reform on our consolidated financial statements.

Clarifying Interaction between Equity Securities, Equity Method Investments and Derivatives
ASU 2020-01 was issued in January 2020 and clarifies that observable transactions should be considered for the purpose of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321 immediately before the application or upon discontinuance of the equity method of accounting. Furthermore, the ASU clarifies that forward contracts or purchased options on equity securities are not out of scope of ASC 815 guidance only because, upon the contracts’ exercise, the equity securities could be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or fair value option. ASU 2020-01 is effective January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted and is applied prospectively. We are currently assessing theThe adoption of ASU 2020-01 is not expected to have a material impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.



Accounting for Income Taxes
ASU 2019-12 was issued in December 2019 with the intent of simplifying the accounting for income taxes. The accounting update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 as well as provides simplification by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective January 1, 2021 and entities are permitted to adopt the standard early. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure Effectiveness
ASU 2018-14 was issued in August 2018 to improve disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendment modifies the current guidance by adding and removing several disclosure requirements while also clarifying the guidance on current disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-14 is effective January 1, 2021 and entities are permitted to adopt the standard early. The adoption of ASU 2018-14 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We disaggregate revenues into categories which represent our principal performance obligations within each business segment because these revenues categories represent the most significant revenue streams in each segment and consequently are considered to be the most relevant revenuesrevenue information for management to consider in evaluating performance.

Contract receivables represent the amount of receivables derived from contracts with customers.


Contract assets represent the amount of revenues which has been recognized in advance of payments received for performance obligations we have fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) and prior to the point in time at which our right to the payment is unconditional. Amounts included in contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when our right to receive the consideration becomes unconditional.

Contract liabilities represent payments received for performance obligations which have not been fulfilled. Contract liabilities primarily relate to make-up rights and deferred revenues. Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $86 million.$21 million and $107 million, respectively. Increases in contract liabilities from cash received, net of amounts recognized as revenues during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 were $76 million.$104 million and $180 million, respectively.
Performance Obligations
There were no material revenues recognized in the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

Revenues to be Recognized from Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
Total revenues from performance obligations expected to be fulfilled in future periods is $68.0$63.7 billion, of which $5.5$3.5 billion and $6.4$6.1 billion is expected to be recognized during the ninesix months ending December 31, 2020, and the year ending December 31, 2021, respectively.

The revenues excluded from the amounts above based on optional exemptions available under ASC 606, as explained below, represent a significant portion of our overall revenues and revenue from contracts with customers. Certain revenues such as flow-through operating costs charged to shippers are recognized at the amount for which we have the right to invoice our customers and are excluded from the amounts for revenues to be recognized in the future from unfulfilled performance obligations above. Variable consideration is excluded from the amounts above due to the uncertainty of the associated consideration, which is generally resolved when actual volumes and prices are determined. For example, we consider interruptible transportation service revenues to be variable revenues since volumes cannot be estimated. Additionally, the effect of escalation on certain tolls which are contractually escalated for inflation has not been reflected in the amounts above as it is not possible to reliably estimate future inflation rates. Revenues for periods extending beyond the current rate settlement term for regulated contracts where the tolls are periodically reset by the regulator are excluded from the amounts above since future tolls remain unknown. Finally, revenue from contracts with customers which have an original expected duration of one year or less are excluded from the amounts above.

5. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
 
BASIC
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been reduced by our pro-rata weighted average interest in our own common shares of 6 million for both the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, resulting from our reciprocal investment in Noverco Inc. (Noverco).
 

DILUTED
The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive impact of stock options. This method assumes any proceeds from the exercise of stock options would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.


Weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

9. IMPAIRMENT OF EQUITY INVESTMENTS
 
For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, we recorded a loss of $1,736 million resulting from an other than temporary impairment to the carrying value of our equity method investment in DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream). DCP Midstream holds a limited partner interest in and is the owner of the general partner of DCP Midstream, LP. The impairment in our equity investment is related to a decline in the market price of DCP Midstream, LP publicly-traded units as at March 31, 2020. In addition, we recorded a loss of $324 million from our equity pick up of the loss recorded by DCP Midstream in relation to DCP Midstream, LP's asset and goodwill impairment. This is recorded within Income from Equity Investmentsequity investments in the Consolidated StatementStatements of Earnings. Our investment in DCP Midstream is part of the Gas Transmission and Midstream segment and our carrying value of the investment as at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $341$325 million and $2,193 million, respectively.

10. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

MARKET RISK
Our earnings, cash flows and Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and our share price (collectively, market risks). Formal risk management policies, processes and systems have been designed to mitigate these risks.
 
The following summarizes the types of market risks to which we are exposed and the risk management instruments used to mitigate them. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage the risks noted below.
 
Foreign Exchange Risk
We generate certain revenues, incur expenses, and hold a number of investments and subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. As a result, our earnings, cash flows and OCI are exposed to fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variability.
 
We employ financial derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency denominated earnings exposure. A combination of qualifying cash flow, fair value and non-qualifying derivative instruments is used to hedge anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses, and to manage variability in cash flows. We hedge certain net investments in United States dollar denominated investments and subsidiaries using foreign currency derivatives and United States dollar denominated debt.
 
Interest Rate Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to short-term interest rate variability due to the regular repricing of our variable rate debt, primarily commercial paper. We monitor our debt portfolio mix of fixed and variable rate debt instruments to manage a consolidated portfolio of floating rate debt within the Board of Directors approved policy limit of a maximum of 30% of floating rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. We primarily use qualifying derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk. Pay fixed-receive floating interest rate swaps may be used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have implemented a program to significantly mitigate the impact of short-term interest rate volatility on interest expense via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 2.9%.

We are exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt that arise as a result of the changes in market interest rates. Pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swaps are used, when applicable, to hedge against future changes to the fair value of fixed rate debt which mitigates the impact of fluctuations in the fair value of fixed rate debt via execution of fixed to floating interest rate swaps. As at March 31,June 30, 2020, we do not have any pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swaps outstanding.
 


Our earnings and cash flows are also exposed to variability in longer term interest rates ahead of anticipated fixed rate term debt issuances. Forward starting interest rate swaps are used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have established a program within some of our subsidiaries to mitigate our exposure to long-term interest rate variability on select forecast term debt issuances via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 3.1%.
  
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to changes in commodity prices as a result of our ownership interests in certain assets and investments, as well as through the activities of our energy services subsidiaries. These commodities include natural gas, crude oil, power and NGL. We employ financial and physical derivative instruments to fix a portion of the variable price exposures that arise from physical transactions involving these commodities. We use primarily non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk.
 
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the risk of earnings fluctuations due to changes in our share price. We have exposure to our own common share price through the issuance of various forms of stock-based compensation, which affect earnings through revaluation of the outstanding units every period. We use equity derivatives to manage the earnings volatility derived from 1 form of stock-based compensation, restricted share units. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage equity price risk.
 
COVID-19 PANDEMIC RISK
The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility in Canada, the United States and international markets. While we have taken proactive measures to deliver energy safely and reliably during this pandemic, given the ongoing dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, the impact of this pandemic on our business remains uncertain.

TOTAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The following table summarizes the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position location and carrying value of our derivative instruments.
 
We generally have a policy of entering into individual International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. agreements, or other similar derivative agreements, with the majority of our financial derivative counterparties. These agreements provide for the net settlement of derivative instruments outstanding with specific counterparties in the event of bankruptcy or other significant credit events, and reduce our credit risk exposure on financial derivative asset positions outstanding with the counterparties in those circumstances.


The following table summarizes the maximum potential settlement amounts in the event of these specific
circumstances. All amounts are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Fair Value Derivatives
For foreign exchange derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is included in Net foreign currency gain/(loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Any excluded components are included in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.

3Reported within Operating and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

We estimate that a loss of $164$170 million of AOCI related to unrealized cash flow hedges will be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months. Actual amounts reclassified to earnings depend on the foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices in effect when derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature. For all forecasted transactions, the maximum term over which we are hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows is 2118 months as at March 31,June 30, 2020.

LIQUIDITY RISK
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations, including commitments and guarantees, as they become due. In order to mitigate this risk, we forecast cash requirements over a 12-month rolling time period to determine whether sufficient funds will be available and maintain substantial capacity under our committed bank lines of credit to address any contingencies. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are funds generated from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and draws under committed credit facilities and long-term debt, which includes debentures and medium-term notes. We also maintain current shelf prospectuses with securities regulators which enables ready access to either the Canadian or United States public capital markets, subject to market conditions. In addition, we maintain sufficient liquidity through committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and institutions which, if necessary, enables us to fund all anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets. We are in compliance with all the terms and conditions of our committed credit facility agreements and term debt indentures as at March 31,June 30, 2020. As a result, all credit facilities are available to us and the banks are obligated to fund and have been funding us under the terms of the facilities.
 
CREDIT RISK
 
Entering into derivative instruments may result in exposure to credit risk from the possibility that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations. In order to mitigate this risk, we enter into risk management transactions primarily with institutions that possess strong investment grade credit ratings. Credit risk relating to derivative counterparties is mitigated through maintenance and monitoring of credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, netting arrangements, and ongoing monitoring of counterparty credit exposure using external credit rating services and other analytical tools.



We have credit concentrations and credit exposure, with respect to derivative instruments, in the following counterparty segments:

As at March 31,June 30, 2020, we provided letters of credit totaling NaN in lieu of providing cash collateral to our counterparties pursuant to the terms of the relevant International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements. We held 0 cash collateral on derivative asset exposures as at March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
 
Gross derivative balances have been presented without the effects of collateral posted. Derivative assets are adjusted for non-performance risk of our counterparties using their credit default swap spread rates, and are reflected at fair value. For derivative liabilities, our non-performance risk is considered in the valuation.

Credit risk also arises from trade and other long-term receivables, and is mitigated through credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, assessment of credit ratings and netting arrangements. Within Enbridge Gas, credit risk is mitigated by the utilities' large and diversified customer base and the ability to recover an estimate for doubtful accounts through the ratemaking process. We actively monitor the financial strength of large industrial customers, and in select cases, have obtained additional security to minimize the risk of default on receivables. Generally, we classify and provide for receivables older than 30 days as past due. The maximum exposure to credit risk related to non-derivative financial assets is their carrying value.
 
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments. We also disclose the fair value of other financial instruments not measured at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments reflects our best estimates of market value based on generally accepted valuation techniques or models and is supported by observable market prices and rates. When such values are not available, we use discounted cash flow analysis from applicable yield curves based on observable market inputs to estimate fair value.
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We categorize our derivative instruments measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement.

Level 1
Level 1 includes derivatives measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. An active market for a derivative is considered to be a market where transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Our Level 1 instruments consist primarily of exchange-traded derivatives used to mitigate the risk of crude oil price fluctuations.
 


Level 2
Level 2 includes derivative valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Derivatives in this category are valued using models or other industry standard valuation techniques derived from observable market data. Such valuation techniques include inputs such as quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors and broker quotes that can be observed or corroborated in the market for the entire duration of the derivative. Derivatives valued using Level 2 inputs include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter foreign exchange forward and cross currency swap contracts, interest rate swaps, physical forward commodity contracts, as well as commodity swaps and options for which observable inputs can be obtained.

We have also categorized the fair value of our held to maturity preferred share investment and long-term debt as Level 2. The fair value of our held to maturity preferred share investment is primarily based on the yield of certain Government of Canada bonds. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for instruments of similar yield, credit risk and tenor.
 
Level 3
Level 3 includes derivative valuations based on inputs which are less observable, unavailable or where the observable data does not support a significant portion of the derivatives’ fair value. Generally, Level 3 derivatives are longer dated transactions, occur in less active markets, occur at locations where pricing information is not available or have no binding broker quote to support Level 2 classification. We have developed methodologies, benchmarked against industry standards, to determine fair value for these derivatives based on extrapolation of observable future prices and rates. Derivatives valued using Level 3 inputs primarily include long-dated derivative power, crude, NGL and natural gas contracts, basis swaps, commodity swaps and energy swaps. We do not have any other financial instruments categorized in Level 3.
 
We use the most observable inputs available to estimate the fair value of our derivatives. When possible, we estimate the fair value of our derivatives based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, we use estimates from third party brokers. For non-exchange traded derivatives classified in Levels 2 and 3, we use standard valuation techniques to calculate the estimated fair value. These methods include discounted cash flows for forwards and swaps. Depending on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying risk, we use observable market prices (interest, foreign exchange, commodity and share price) as primary inputs to these valuation techniques. Finally, we consider our own credit default swap spread as well as the credit default swap spreads associated with our counterparties in our estimation of fair value.

13. CONTINGENCIES
 
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges to regulatory approvals and permits. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial position or results of operations.

TAX MATTERS
We and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, if challenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.


14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 1,July 8, 2020, we closed the saleissued US$1.0 billion of our Ozark assets for proceeds of approximately $60 million (US$43 million), subject to customary closing adjustments.60-year hybrid subordinated notes payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes mature on July 15, 2080 and are redeemable on year 10 and every five years thereafter. Refer to Note 6. Acquisitions and Dispositions7. Debt for further discussion of the transaction.

On May 1, 2020, we closed the sale of our Montana-Alberta Tie Line assets for proceeds of approximately $180 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. Refer to Note 6. Acquisitions and Dispositions for further discussion of the transaction.

On May 4, 2020, a rupture occurred on Line 10, a 30-inch natural gas pipeline that makes up part of the Texas Eastern natural gas pipeline system in Fleming County, Kentucky. There have been no reported injuries or damaged structures as a result of the rupture. Texas Eastern crews are on site and have secured the area. The impacted section of pipe was shut-in following the incident and remains isolated. The National Transportation Safety Board has assumed control of the site and is working with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and Enbridge to investigate.

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility in Canada, the United States and international markets. We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced crude oil demand and reduced commodity prices on our results of operations. These demand effects coincided with decisions by various global producers, including the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil producing nations (OPEC+) to increase global production levels, putting severe downward pressure on prices. As a result, prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and other commodities whose prices are highly correlated to crude oil have decreased substantially. Given the many outstanding questions as to the length and depth of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current low commodity price environment, the impact on us is uncertain; however, it is possible that they may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations in the future.issuance.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
INTRODUCTION
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part 1. Item 1. Financial Statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As of the end of the second quarter of 2019, we have qualified as a foreign private issuer for purposes of the U.S.United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). We intend to continue to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers. We also intend to maintain our Form S-3 registration statements.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

COVID-19 PANDEMIC, REDUCED CRUDE OIL DEMAND AND COMMODITY PRICES

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting emergency response measures enacted by governments in Canada, the United States and around the world, have caused material disruption to many businesses resulting in a severe slow down in Canadian, United States and global economies, leading to increased volatility in financial markets worldwide and demand reduction for commodities. These demand effects coincided with decisions byWhile various global producers, including the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil producing nations (OPEC+), reached agreements to increase globalcut crude oil production levels, putting severein the second quarter of 2020, downward pressure on commodity prices including, in some instances, negative pricing.continues and could continue for the foreseeable future, particularly given concerns over crude oil inventories. As a result, prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and other commodities whose prices are highly correlated to crude oil have decreased substantially.and remain volatile.

We are takinghave taken proactive measures to deliver energy safely and reliably during the COVID-19 pandemic. We activated our crisis management team to focus on a number of priorities, including: (i) the health and safety of our employees and the public; (ii) operational reliability for our customers and markets; (iii) identification of essential personnel and procedures; and (iv) extensive stakeholder communication and outreach including updates to our Board of Directors. We are staying closely connected tofollowing recommendations from public health authorities and medical experts and have taken steps to help prevent our employees’ exposure andto the spread of COVID-19, including, enactingwhere practical, work-at-home plans acrossenacted in March 2020 and the organization and implementingimplementation of business continuity plans to enable the integrity of our operations and protect the health of our employees in pipeline control functions and service centers, our field representatives and other essential functions.

The safe operation of our facilities has not been impacted. We continue to employ all safety processes and procedures in the normal course. Our business continuity plans are designed to enable us to manage operational developments related to COVID-19 as they unfold. We provide an essential service across North America. Our customers, and the communities where we operate, depend on us to safely and reliably provide the energy they need to heat their homes and fuel their lives.


The COVID-19 pandemic has had a deep impact in the communities in which we operate. We are providingcontinuing to provide support in our communities by advancing funds to respond and provide relief to those who are most vulnerable. Our teams in our operating regions are working closely with our nonprofit community partners, our closest Indigenous and Tribal neighbors and local governments to identify where resources are needed most.


The COVID-19 pandemic, reduced crude oil demand and reduced commodity prices present potential new or elevated risks to our business. In late March, we began to see impacts both on the supply of, and demand for, crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons transported on our pipelines. Several shippers on our crude oil pipelines have responded to significantly lower demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, declining storage availability and refinery utilization, and commodity price declines by canceling deliveryreducing volumes in the second quarter of previously nominated batches for2020. Average Mainline System volumes in the monthsecond quarter of April. Average volumes for April2020 were 4002,439 thousand barrels per day (kbpd) or approximately 400 kbpd lower than the 2,842 kbpd average for the first quarter of 2020. Over the balance of 2020, we anticipate a continued but gradual recovery in demand as travel and we expect that these lower volumes will likely continue through the end of the second quarter of 2020. We currently expect that volumes will recover in the second half of the year as COVID-19 related travelborder restrictions are slowly lifted and mobility gradually returns to North America in the third and fourth quarter of 2020.America. This view is supported by our expectation that the refineries operating in our core Mainline System markets (i.e. the United States Midwest, Eastern Canada and the United States Gulf Coast) may be among the firstwill continue to ramp back upexperience higher utilization rates given their scale, complexity and cost competitiveness. We continue to expect that Mainline System volumes will be under utilized by 200-400 kbpd in the third quarter of 2020 and 100-300 kbpd in the fourth quarter of 2020, and return to full utilization in early 2021. For every 100 kbpd increase or decrease in volumes on our Mainline System, our revenues, net of power savings, are expected to increase or decline by approximately $35 million per quarter.

In our US Midstream business, our equity affiliate DCP Midstream, LP, responded to the drastic decline in commodity prices by decreasing their distributions to us by 50 percent (beginning with the first quarter distribution paid in May 2020), thereby modestly reducing our cash flows. As a further outcome of the drastic commodity price decline, we recorded a $1.7 billion impairment on our equity method investment in DCP Midstream in the first quarter of 2020, based on the decline in the market price of DCP Midstream, LP publicly-traded units as at March 31, 2020. No further impairment was recorded in the second quarter of 2020.

In addition, these circumstances have led to the deterioration of the credit profiles of some of our customers and suppliers. We will continue to monitor this risk and take credit risk mitigating actions.

The situation around the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced crude oil demand and reduced commodity prices is evolving and our assessment of risks is included in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

While the length and depth of the current energy demand reduction and its impact is challenging to estimate at this time, we have initiated several actions to further strengthen our resiliency and position for the future, while assuring that the safety and reliability of our operations remains our first priority. We will be reducinghave taken actions to reduce operating costs by approximately $300 million in 2020, including reductions to senior managementemployees and Board of Directors compensation.compensation, a voluntary workforce reduction program, as well as supply chain savings. We have also recently executed $0.4 billion of asset sales and increased our available liquidity to approximatelyover $14 billion. We are experiencing a natural slowing of 2020 capital spending in light of COVID-19 and the health and safety measures put into place by federal and regional governments. After a review of capital execution schedules,In addition, we expectbelieve that 2020 capital expenditures will be approximately $1 billion lower than budgeted and will primarily shift into 2021. In addition, the following factors further demonstrate the resiliency of our low-risk business model:
Our assets are highly contracted and commercially underpinned by long-term take-or-pay and cost-of-service agreements;
Approximately 95 percent of our revenues in the first half of 2020 were from investment grade customers or non-investment grade customers who have provided credit enhancements;
The acquisition of Spectra Energy in 2017 provided us with greater diversification into natural gas with embedded low risk commercial structures. We currently have approximately 40 different sources of cash flows by geography and by different customer groups;

A strong financial position with over $14 billion of net available liquidity which gives us the capacity to fund all of our capital projects and any debt maturities through 2021 without accessing the capital markets; and

We will continue to actively monitor the developing situationsour business environment and may take further actions that we determine are in the best interests of Enbridge, our employees, customers, partners and stakeholders, or as required by federal, state or provincial authorities. At this time, given the many outstanding questions as to the length and depth of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current low commodity price environment, the impact on us is uncertain; however, it is possible that they maycontinue to have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

TEXAS EASTERN RATE CASEMAINLINE SYSTEM CONTRACTING

On February 24, 2020, the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) issued a Notice of Public Hearing which outlined the process for participation in the hearing and identified a list of issues for discussion in the proceeding. In March 2020, letters were filed with the CER by a group of potential intervenors that requested the CER delay setting hearing dates associated with our Mainline System contract filing. Subsequently, the CER issued a letter requesting comments on the potential delay of proceedings.

We filed our response with the CER on May 1, 2020, and on May 19, 2020, the CER announced that the regulatory process for our proposal to offer contracted transportation service on our Mainline System will proceed in a single phase hearing process that balances the need to address COVID-19 pandemic related challenges and the CER's mandate to adjudicate in an appropriately expeditious manner.

We filed our responses to initial CER information requests in June 2020 and intend to file our responses to a second round of information requests in August 2020.

We expect an oral hearing to occur sometime after April 2021, but a hearing date has not yet been set. If a replacement agreement is not in place by June 30, 2021, the Competitive Tolling Settlement provides for tolls to continue on an interim basis.

GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE RATE APPLICATIONS

2020 Rate Application
In October 2019, Enbridge Gas filed an application with the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for the setting of rates for 2020 and for the funding of discrete incremental capital investments through the incremental capital module (ICM) mechanism. The 2020 rate application was filed in accordance with the parameters of Enbridge Gas’s OEB approved Price Cap Incentive Regulation (IR) rate setting mechanism and represents the second year of a five-year term. In December 2019, Enbridge Gas received a Decision and Order from the OEB for Phase 1 of the application which approved 2020 rates, exclusive of requested ICM amounts, on an interim basis effective January 1, 2020.

On May 14, 2020, the OEB issued a Phase 2 Decision and Order approving Enbridge Gas’s application for ICM funding.Final 2020 rates, inclusive of requested ICM amounts, were approved as part of an OEB Rate Order issued on June 11, 2020.

2021 Rate Application
On June 30, 2020, Enbridge Gas filed Phase 1 of an application with the OEB for the setting of rates for 2021. The 2021 rate application was filed in accordance with the parameters of Enbridge Gas's OEB approved Price Cap IR rate setting mechanism and represents the third year of a five-year term. Phase 1 of the application addresses mechanistic Price Cap IR rate adjustments. An OEB decision on Phase 1 of Enbridge Gas's application is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2020. Phase 2 of the application, expected to be filed in the fourth quarter of 2020, will address ICM funding requirements.

FINANCING UPDATE

On February 20, 2020, we raised US$750 million of two-year floating rate notes in the United States debt capital markets and on April 1, 2020, Enbridge Gas completed a $1.2 billion dual tranche offering of 10-year and 30-year notes in the Canadian debt capital markets. On May 12, 2020, we raised $1.3 billion with a dual tranche offering of 5-year and 7-year notes in the Canadian debt capital markets. On July 8, 2020, we raised an additional US$1.0 billion of 60-year hybrid subordinated notes in the United States debt capital markets. Through these capital market activities, we continued to make significant progress on the execution ofcompleted our 2020 debt funding plan and strengthened our financial position.

In February 2020, we closed three new non-revolving credit facilities totaling US$1.5 billion and on March 31, 2020, we established a new syndicated one-year revolving credit facility in the amount of $1.7 billion. On April 9, 2020, we increased the amount of our new revolving facility by an additional $1.3 billion bringing the total amount to $3.0 billion, significantly enhancing our available liquidity.

In July 2020, we extended approximately $10.0 billion of our 364 day extendible credit facilities to July 2021, inclusive of a one-year term out provision to July 2022.

TheThese financing activities, noted above, in combination with the asset monetization activities noted below, will enable us to fund our current portfolio of capital projects without requiring access to the capital markets through 2021 if market access is restricted or pricing is unattractive.

EARNINGS/(LOSS)EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

Three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, compared with the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019

Earnings/(loss)Earnings attributable to common shareholders were net negativelypositively impacted by $3,348$127 million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by the following:
a combined loss of $2,060 million ($1,550 million after-tax) related to our equity method investment in DCP Midstream due to a loss of $1,736 million ($1,306 million after-tax) resulting from an impairment to the carrying value of our investment and a loss of $324 million ($244 million after-tax) resulting from further asset and goodwill impairment losses, refer to Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 9. Impairment of Equity Investments;
a non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value lossgain of $1,956$1,186 million ($1,461876 million after-tax) in 2020, compared with a gain of $600$424 million ($443336 million after-tax) in 2019, reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange risks; and
a non-cash, write-down ofnet positive adjustment to crude oil and natural gas inventories to the lower of cost or market in our Energy Services business segment of $417$340 million ($311 million after-tax) in 2020, compared with $10 million ($8 million after-tax) in 2019; and

a loss of $159 million ($119 million after-tax) in 2020 resulting from the recent Texas Eastern rate case settlement that re-established the Excess Accumulated Deferred Income Tax (EDIT) regulated liability that was previously eliminated in December 2018.

The negative factors above were partially offset by a non-cash, unrealized gain of $551 million ($412257 million after-tax) in 2020, compared with a net negative adjustment of $6 million ($5 million after-tax) in 2019.

The positive factors above were partially offset by the following:
a non-cash, unrealized loss of $160$525 million ($118397 million after-tax) in 2020, compared with a gain of $139 million ($103 million after-tax) in 2019, reflecting the revaluation of derivatives used in our Energy Services business segment to manage the profitability of transportation and storage transactions, as well as manage the exposure to movements in commodity prices.prices; and
employee severance, transition and transformation costs of $268 million ($200 million after-tax) in 2020 compared with $21 million ($16 million after-tax) in 2019 primarily related to our voluntary workforce reduction program offered in the second quarter of 2020.


The non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value gains and losses discussed above generally arise as a result of a comprehensive long-term economic hedging program to mitigate foreign exchange and commodity price risks. This program creates volatility in reported short-term earnings through the recognition of unrealized non-cash gains and losses on financial derivative instruments used to hedge these risks. Over the long-term, we believe our hedging program supports the reliable cash flows and dividend growth upon which our investor value proposition is based.

After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $28$216 million increasedecrease in earnings/(loss)earnings attributable to common shareholders is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
stronger contributionsdecreased earnings from our Liquids Pipelines segment due to a higher International Joint Tariff (IJT) Benchmark Toll and higher Mainline System ex-Gretna throughput driven by an increase inlower volume demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic impact on supply and continuous capacity optimization;demand for crude oil and related products;
the absence of earnings in 2020 from the federally-regulated portion of our Canadian natural gas gathering and processing businesses which were sold on December 31, 2019;
increased income tax expense primarily due to higher United States minimum tax and timing of recognition of newly enacted Canadian tax legislation that came into effect in the second half of 2019; and
higher depreciation and amortization expense as a result of new assets placed into service throughout 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, primarily the Canadian Line 3 Replacement (L3R) Program.

The negative business factors above were partially offset by the following:
increased earnings from our Gas Transmission and Midstream segment due to settled rates on Texas Eastern retroactive to June 1, 2019, resulting from the recentFebruary 2020 rate case settlement;
increased earnings from new Liquids Pipelines, and Gas Transmission and Midstream, and Renewable Power Generation assets that were placed into service throughout 2019;2019 and the first quarter of 2020;
increased earnings from our Gas Distribution and Storage segment due to higher distribution charges resulting from increases in rates and customer base; and
decreased income tax expense due to decreased earnings and the effectsnet favorable effect of rate-regulated accounting, partially offset by a change in thetranslating United States minimum tax.dollar EBITDA at a higher Canadian to United States dollar average exchange rate (Average Exchange Rate) of $1.39 in 2020 compared with $1.34 in 2019.

Six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2019

Earnings attributable to common shareholders were negatively impacted by $3,221 million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by the following:
a combined loss of $2,060 million ($1,550 million after-tax) related to our equity method investment in DCP Midstream due to a loss of $1,736 million ($1,306 million after-tax) resulting from an impairment to the carrying value of our investment and a loss of $324 million ($244 million after-tax) resulting from further asset and goodwill impairment losses, refer to Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 9. Impairment of Equity Investments;
a non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value loss of $770 million ($585 million after-tax) in 2020, compared with a gain of $1,024 million ($750 million after-tax) in 2019, reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange risks;
a non-cash, net negative adjustment to crude oil and natural gas inventories in our Energy Services business segment of $2 million ($2 million after-tax) in 2020, compared with a net positive adjustment of $85 million ($61 million after-tax) in 2019;
a loss of $159 million ($119 million after-tax) in 2020 resulting from the February 2020 Texas Eastern rate settlement that re-established the Excess Accumulated Deferred Income Tax (EDIT) regulated liability that was previously eliminated in December 2018; and

employee severance, transition and transformation costs of $279 million ($212 million after-tax) in 2020 compared with $65 million ($62 million after-tax) in 2019 primarily related to our voluntary workforce reduction program offered in the second quarter of 2020.

The positive businessnegative factors above were partially offset by a non-cash, unrealized loss of $49 million ($37 million after-tax) in 2020, compared with a loss of $122 million ($88 million after-tax) in 2019, reflecting the following:revaluation of derivatives used in our Energy Services business segment to manage the profitability of transportation and storage transactions, as well as manage the exposure to movements in commodity prices.

After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $189 million decrease in earnings attributable to common shareholders is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
decreased earnings from our Energy Services segment due to the significant compression of location and quality differentials in certain markets and fewer opportunities to achieve profitable transportation margins on facilities whichwhere we hold capacity obligations;
decreased earnings from our Gas Distribution and Storage segment due to warmer weather experienced in our franchise areas;
the absence of earnings in 2020 from the federally-regulated portion of our Canadian natural gas gathering and processing businesses which were sold on December 31, 2019;
increased income tax expense primarily due to higher United States minimum tax and timing of recognition of newly enacted Canadian tax legislation that came into effect in the second half of 2019; and
higher depreciation and amortization expense as a result of new assets placed into service throughout 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, primarily the Canadian L3R Program.

increased earnings from our Gas Transmission and Midstream segment due to settled rates on Texas Eastern, retroactive to June 1, 2019, resulting from the February 2020 rate settlement;
increased earnings from new Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Midstream, and Renewable Power Generation assets that were placed into service throughout 2019 and the first quarter of 2020; and
the net favorable effect of translating United States dollar EBITDA at a higher Average Exchange Rate of $1.37 in 2020 compared with $1.33 in 2019.

EBITDA was positively impacted by $370 million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors, primarily explained by a non-cash, unrealized gain of $616 million in 2020, compared with a gain of $227 million in 2019, reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange risks.


After taking into consideration the factor above, the remaining $22 million decrease is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
lower Mainline System ex-Gretna throughput of 2,439 kbpd in 2020 compared with 2,661 kbpd in 2019 due to lower volume demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic impact on supply and demand for crude oil and related products; and
lower throughput on our Bakken Pipeline System, Flanagan South Pipeline and Seaway Crude Pipeline System driven by the significant impact of lower crude oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic on supply and demand for crude oil and related products.

The negative business factors above were partially offset by the following:
a higher IJT Benchmark Toll on our Mainline System of US$4.21 in 2020 compared with US$4.15 in 2019;
contributions from the Canadian L3R Program that was placed into service on December 1, 2019 with an interim surcharge on Mainline System volumes of US$0.20 per barrel for the IJT Benchmark Toll; and
the net favorable effect of translating United States dollar EBITDA at a higher Average Exchange Rate of $1.39 in 2020 compared with $1.34 in 2019.

A full description of each of our projects is provided in our annual report on Form 10-K. Significant updates that have occurred since the date of filing are discussed below.

GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAM

Sabal Trail Phase II - an expansion of our existing Sabal Trail pipeline through the addition of two new greenfield compressor stations in Albany, Georgia and Dunnellon, Florida. The expansion received FERC approval in April 2020 and was placed into service on May 1, 2020.

GAS DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE

Utility Growth Capital & Storage Enhancements - we are proceeding with $0.3 billion of utility growth capital expenditures including regulated rate base system reinforcements and an enhancement of our unregulated storage facilities at Dawn, Ontario.

RENEWABLE POWER GENERATION

Saint-Nazaire FranceFécamp Offshore Wind Project - on May 1, 2020, we executed agreementsan offshore wind project that will be comprised of 71 wind turbines located off the northwest coast of France and is expected to sell 49% of our investment in EMF to CPP Investments, inclusive of the Saint-Nazaire France Offshore Windgenerate approximately 500-MW. Project revenues are underpinned by a 20-year fixed price power purchase agreement.. Post closing

On May 1, 2020, we executed agreements to sell 49% of an entity that holds our 50% interest in EMF to CPP Investments, inclusive of the Fécamp Offshore Wind Project and the Saint-Nazaire France Offshore Wind Project. Post-closing, CPP Investments will fund their 49% share of all ongoing future development capital. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2020.

GROWTH PROJECTS - REGULATORY MATTERS

United States Line 3 Replacement Program
On February 3, 2020, and through its subsequent order on May 1, 2020, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved the adequacy of(MNPUC) deemed the revised Finalfinal Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) adequate and reinstated the Certificate of Need and Route Permit, allowing for construction of the pipeline to commence following the issuance of required permits. On May 21, 2020, various parties filed petitions for reconsideration with the MNPUC contesting the adequacy of the second revised EIS, and the MNPUC’s restored grant of the Certificate of Need and the Route Permit. On June 1, 2020, Enbridge and various supporting parties filed responses to those filed petitions for reconsideration. On June 25, 2020 the MNPUC denied all petitions for reconsideration reaffirming its prior decisions in all three dockets.

As for environmental permits, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) released a draft of the revised 401 Water Quality CertificationCertificate permit in February 2020, and the2020. Following a public comment period, closedthe MPCA announced on April 10, 2020. AccordingJune 3, 2020 that it will conduct a contested case hearing regarding the 401 Water Quality Certificate permit. After an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) was assigned to the MPCA permittingcase, the contested case hearing schedule was established on June 23, 2020. Parties filed direct testimony on July 24, 2020 and must file rebuttal testimony on August 7, 2020. Cross examination before the next critical phase is focusedALJ will occur between August 24-28, 2020, followed by the ALJ issuing their report on October 16, 2020. The ALJ’s contested case hearing schedule confirms that in order to maintain jurisdiction the MPCA reviewing and considering public comments before makingis required by the Clean Water Act to make a certification decision.final decision regarding the 401 Water Quality Certificate by November 14, 2020.


At this time, we cannot determine when all necessary permits to commence construction will be issued. Depending on the final in-service date, there is a risk that the project may exceed our total cost estimate of $9 billion for the combined L3R Program. However, at this time, we do not anticipate any capital cost impacts that would be material to our financial position and outlook.

OTHER ANNOUNCED PROJECTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
 
The following projects have been announced by us, but have not yet met our criteria to be classified as commercially secured:

RENEWABLE POWER GENERATION

Éolien Maritime France SAS - on May 1, 2020, we executed agreements to sell 49% of an entity that holds our investment50% interest in EMF to CPP Investments. Post closing,Post-closing, CPP Investments will fund their 49% share of all ongoing future development capital. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2020. After the transaction closes, through our investment in EMF, we will own equity interests in three French offshore wind projects, including Saint-Nazaire (25.5%), FecampFécamp (17.9%), and Courseulles (21.7%). In 2019, theThe Saint-Nazaire France Offshore Wind Project reached a positive final investment decision in 2019 and the Fécamp Offshore Wind Project reached a positive final investment decision in June 2020 and are now considered to be commercially secured. The remaining two projects areproject, Courseulles, is expected to reach a final investment decision by next year.

We also have a large portfolio of additional projects under development that have not yet progressed to the point of public announcement.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The maintenance of financial strength and flexibility is fundamental to our growth strategy, particularly in light of the significant number and size of capital projects currently secured or under development. Access to timely funding from capital markets could be limited by factors outside our control, including but not limited to financial market volatility resulting from economic and political events both inside and outside North America. To mitigate such risks, we actively manage financial plans and strategies to ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity to meet routine operating and future capital requirements. In the near term, we generally expect to utilize cash from operations together with commercial paper issuance and/or credit facility draws and the proceeds of capital market offerings to fund liabilities as they become due, finance capital expenditures, fund debt retirements and pay common and preference share dividends. We target to maintain sufficient liquidity through securement of committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and financial institutions to enable us to fund all anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets.
 
Our financing plan is regularly updated to reflect evolving capital requirements and financial market conditions and identifies a variety of potential sources of debt and equity funding alternatives. Our current financing plan does not include any issuances of additional common equity and was the primary consideration for the suspension of our Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan in November 2018.

As discussed within Recent Developments - Financing Update, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding impact on the capital markets, we have elected to increase our liquidity through additional credit facilities to ensure we will not have to access the capital markets through 2021 to fund our current portfolio of capital projects if market access is restricted or pricing is unattractive.
 

CAPITAL MARKET ACCESS
We ensure ready access to capital markets, subject to market conditions, through maintenance of shelf prospectuses that allow for issuance of long-term debt, equity and other forms of long-term capital when market conditions are attractive.

Credit Facilities and Liquidity
To ensure ongoing liquidity and to mitigate the risk of capital market disruption, we maintain ready access to funds through committed bank credit facilities and actively manage our bank funding sources to optimize pricing and other terms. The following table provides details of our committed credit facilities as at March 31,June 30, 2020:

Strong internal cash flow, proceeds from non-core asset dispositions, ready access to liquidity from diversified sources and a stable business model have enabled us to manage our credit profile. We actively monitor and manage key financial metrics with the objective of sustaining investment grade credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and ongoing access to bank funding and term debt capital on attractive terms. Key measures of financial strength that are closely managed include the ability to service debt obligations from operating cash flow and the ratio of debt to EBITDA.


There are no material restrictions on our cash. Total restricted cash of $41$35 million, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, primarily includes cash collateral and amounts received in respect of specific shipper commitments. Cash and cash equivalents held by certain subsidiaries may not be readily accessible for alternative uses by us.


Excluding current maturities of long-term debt, we had a negative working capital position as at March 31,June 30, 2020. The major contributing factor to the negative working capital position was the ongoing funding of our growth capital program.
 
To address this negative working capital position, we maintain significant liquidity in the form of committed credit facilities and other sources as previously discussed, which enable the funding of liabilities as they become due.

Significant sources and uses of cash for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and March 31,June 30, 2019 are summarized below:
 
Operating Activities
 
The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our operating assets and liabilities fluctuate in the normal course due to various factors, including the impact of fluctuations in commodity prices and activity levels on working capital within our business segments, the timing of tax payments, as well as timing of cash receipts and payments generally.
The factor above was partially offset by the impact of certain unusual, infrequent or other non-operating factors as discussed under Results of Operations.

Investing Activities
 
The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to proceeds received from dispositions in the second quarter of 2020 and lower contributions to the Gray Oak Holdings LLC equity investment in 2020 when compared with the corresponding period in 2019.investment.
We are continuing with the execution of our growth capital program which is further described in Growth Projects - Commercially Secured Projects. The timing of project approval, construction and in-service dates impacts the timing of cash requirements.
 

Financing Activities
 
The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to an increase in repayments of long-term debt and a decrease in commercial paper and credit facility draws anddraws.
The factors above were partially offset by an increase in issuances of long-term debt in 2020 when compared with the corresponding period in 2019.
The factor above was partially offset byand the absence of Westcoast Energy Inc.'s redemption of all of its outstanding Series 7 and Series 8 preference shares in 2020 when compared with the corresponding period in 2019.
Our common share dividend payments increased period-over-period primarily due to the 9.8% increase in our common share dividend rate.

Under United States bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee can be voided, or claims may be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee or, in some states, when payments become due under the guarantee:
received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee and was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;
was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.

The guarantees of the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes contain provisions to limit the maximum amount of liability that the Partnerships could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under the guarantee to be a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under United States federal or state law.

Each of the Partnerships is entitled to a right of contribution from the other Partnership for 50% of all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Partnership in discharging its obligations under the guarantees for the Guaranteed Enbridge Notes.

Under the terms of the guarantee agreement and applicable supplemental indentures, the guarantees of either of the Partnerships of any Guaranteed Enbridge Notes will be unconditionally released and discharged automatically upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
any direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger, sale or transfer of equity interests or otherwise, to any person that is not an affiliate of Enbridge, of any of Enbridge’s direct or indirect limited partnership of other equity interests in that Partnership as a result of which the Partnership ceases to be a consolidated subsidiary of Enbridge;
the merger of that Partnership into Enbridge or the other Partnership or the liquidation and dissolution of that Partnership;
the repayment in full or discharge or defeasance of those Guaranteed Enbridge Notes, as contemplated by the applicable indenture or guarantee agreementagreement;
with respect to EEP, the repayment in full or discharge or defeasance of each of the consenting EEP notes listed above;
with respect to SEP, the repayment in full or discharge or defeasance of each of the consenting SEP notes listed above; or
with respect to any series of Guaranteed Enbridge Notes, with the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of that series of Guaranteed Enbridge Notes.

The guarantee obligations of Enbridge of the Guaranteed Partnership Notes will terminate with respect to any series of Guaranteed Partnership Notes if that series is discharged or defeased.

LEGAL AND OTHER UPDATES

LIQUIDS PIPELINES
Dakota Access Pipeline
In August 2018,February 2017, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe filed motions with the United States Court for the District of Columbia contesting the validity of the process used by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) to permit the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Oglala Sioux and Yankton Sioux Tribes also filed claims in the case to challenge the Army Corps permit and environmental review process.


In August 2018, the Army Corps completed the environmental analysis required on remand by the June 2017 order of the United States Court for the District of Columbia and reaffirmed the issuance of the permit for the Dakota Access Pipeline. All four plaintiff Tribes subsequently amended their complaints to include claims challenging the adequacy of the Army Corps’ August 2018 decision, and the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment on the merits of the plaintiffs’ amended claims. Briefing on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment was completed on November 25, 2019. On March 25, 2020, the Court issued an opinion, granting and denying in part the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. The Court ordered the Army Corps to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement to address unresolved controversy pertaining to potential spill impacts resulting from the Dakota Access Pipeline. The

Line 5 Dual Pipelines - Tunnel Project
On June 6, 2019, we filed a complaint with the Michigan Court of Claims to establish the constitutional validity of Michigan law PA 359 and enforceability of various agreements entered into between us and the State of Michigan (the State) related to the construction of the Line 5 Dual Pipelines Tunnel Project (Tunnel Project). On October 31, 2019, the Court determined that Michigan law PA 359 is valid and is not unconstitutional. On November 5, 2019, the Michigan Attorney General filed an appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals and briefing for that appeal is now complete. A decision byOn June 11, 2020, the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld the Court's determination that Michigan law PA 359 is expected later in 2020. Bothvalid and is not unconstitutional.

On June 27, 2019, the Michigan Attorney General filed a complaint in the Michigan Ingham County Circuit Court that requests the Court to declare the easement that we have for the operation of the dual pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac (the Straits) to be invalid and to prohibit continued operation of the dual pipelines in the Straits “as soon as possible after a reasonable notice period to allow orderly adjustments by affected parties”. On September 16, 2019, we filed our motion for summary disposition and requested dismissal of the State’s Complaint in its entirety. On that same date, the State filed a motion for partial summary disposition and judgment in its favor on its claim that the easement was void from inception. The case is fully briefedwas argued on May 22, 2020 and oral argumentsupplemental briefing on the parties' motions remains scheduled for May 22,issue of federal preemption was completed on July 6, 2020.

At the meeting, the Corridor Authority reviewed the actions that we have taken in accordance with the Tunnel Project agreement, and on formal motions approved those actions.

During the first quarter of 2020, we filed all major environmental permits, including the joint permit application with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy and the Army Corps, as well asCorps. In addition, we filed an independent application to the Michigan Public Service Commission.Commission and they have scheduled a public hearing date for August 24, 2020.

Upon receipt of all required permits we expect to begin construction of the Tunnel Project. Construction and commissioning of the Tunnel Project is expected to be completed in late 2024.


Line 5 Dual Pipelines - East Segment
On June 18, 2020, during seasonal maintenance work on Line 5, we discovered that a screw anchor support had shifted from its original position. We immediately shut down the pipeline and notified the State and our federal regulator, the PHMSA. The issue with the expected completionscrew anchor was isolated to the east segment of construction, testingLine 5 and commissioning sometimean inspection of the west segment of Line 5 confirmed there were no issues or damage to the anchor structures or pipeline on that segment. Normal operations of the west segment of Line 5 resumed on June 20, 2020, and investigation of the east segment of Line 5 is ongoing.

On June 22, 2020, the Michigan Attorney General, on behalf of the State, filed a motion for a Temporary Restraining Order in 2024.the Michigan Ingham County Circuit Court to cease the continued operation of the west segment of Line 5 and to ensure operation of the east segment of Line 5 was not resumed. Further, the Temporary Restraining Order was to compel "legally required information" to be shared with the State for determination that the operation of Line 5 through the Straits is safe. On June 25, 2020, an Order was issued prohibiting the operation of Line 5 pending a hearing on the State’s motion for Preliminary Injunction on June 30, 2020. On July 1, 2020, following the hearing, the Temporary Restraining Order was amended allowing the west segment of Line 5 to restart for the purposes of conducting an in-line inspection, which reconfirmed that the line is safe to operate as there was no damage to the pipeline. The east segment of Line 5 remains shut down as we work with the PHMSA to ensure all safety assessments are complete and data provided prior to restarting the east segment of Line 5.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Refer to Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Legal and Other Updates and Growth Projects - Regulatory Matters for discussion of other legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which could materially affect our financial condition or future results. Other than as set out below, there have been no material modifications to those risk factors.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected local and global economies and could negatively impact our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic on March 11, 2020. In response to the rapid global spread of COVID-19, governments have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures include restrictions on business activity and travel, as well as requirements to isolate or quarantine, which could continue or expand. Certain of our operations and projects have been deemed essential services in critical infrastructure sectors and are currently exempt from certain business activity restrictions; however, there is no guarantee that this exemption will continue. These actions have interrupted business activities and supply chains; disrupted travel; contributed to significant volatility in the financial and commodity markets, resulting in a general decline in equity prices and lower interest rates; impacted social conditions; and adversely impacted national and international economic conditions, including commodity prices and demand for energy, as well as the labor market.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict how significant the impact of this pandemic, including any responses to it, will be on North American or global economies or our business, or for how long disruptions are likely to continue. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments and factors outside of our control, which are highly uncertain, rapidly evolving and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity or duration of this pandemic and actions taken by governments and others to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or its impact. Such developments, which could have a material adverse effect on our customers, suppliers, regulators, business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows, include disruptions that, among other things:
adversely impacted market fundamentals, such as commodity prices and supply and demand for energy, decreasing volumes transported on our systems, increasing our exposure to asset utilization risks and adversely affecting our results;
could adversely impactimpacted our Liquids Pipelines growth rate and results; however, the full extent of such adverse impact is still uncertain;
could prevent one or more of our secured capital projects from proceeding, delay its completion or increase its anticipated cost;
adversely impacted the operations or financial position of our third-party suppliers, service providers or customers and increase our exposure to contract-related risks or customer credit risk;


adversely impacted the global capital markets, which could adversely impact our ability to access capital markets at effective rates, the ratings assigned to our securities or our credit facilities;
increased our risks associated with emergency measures taken (including remote working, distancing and additional personal protective equipment), including increased cyber security risks, increased costs and the potential for reduced availability or productivity of our employees or third-party contractors or service providers;
adversely impacted our ability to accurately forecast assumptions used to evaluate expansion projects, acquisitions and divestitures on an ongoing basis or for our financial guidance;
adversely impacted the carrying value of our equity method investment in DCP Midstream and could adversely impact the outcome of future asset impairment tests, indicating that the carrying value of such assets might be impaired;
could adversely impact the execution of current and future trade policies between Canada and the United States; and
could result in future business interruption losses that our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover.

There can be no assurance that our strategies to address potential disruptions will mitigate these risks or the adverse impacts to our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Future adverse impacts may materialize that are not yet known, and adverse impacts to our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows may materialize that are expected to be more significant in upcoming periods as compared with the first quarter of 2020.not yet known. In addition, disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk that is most significantly heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic is the impact of commodity price weakness and volatility on our Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Midstream and Energy Services businesses, as detailed in the risk factor below. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global impact, including any related recession, as well as lingering impacts on supply of, demand for and prices of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas and renewable energy.

Weakness and volatility in commodity prices increase utilization risks in respect to our assets and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about global economic growth have caused considerable uncertainty in the market for crude oil, natural gas and other commodities, lowering demand forecasts. This, and the changing relationship dynamic among OPEC+ members, has put severe downward pressure on prices. The economic climate in Canada, the United States and abroad has deteriorated and worldwide demand for petroleum products has diminished. 2020 has seen a dramatic decline in the price of crude oil, natural gas and NGL and other commodities whose prices are highly correlated to crude oil. The West Texas Intermediate benchmark prices for crude oil had been trading around US$60 per barrel in December 2019 and fell to as low as US$14 per barrel in March 2020 and into negative values in April 2020. Crude oil prices have started to recover in the second quarter of 2020, with West Texas Intermediate benchmark prices reaching US$40 primarily due to the announcement of crude oil productions cuts in April 2020 and June 2020. Crude oil prices may again decline or may be halted in their recovery.


In respect to our Liquids Pipeline assets, we are exposed to throughput risk under the Competitive Tolling Settlement on the Canadian Mainline and under certain tolling agreements applicable to other Liquids Pipelines assets, such as the Lakehead System. A decrease in volumes transported can directly and adversely affect our revenues and earnings. The current commodity price environment has impacted both the supply of and demand for crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons transported on our pipelines. Several shippers on our pipelines have responded to commodity price declines and significantly lower demand caused by COVID-19 by canceling delivery of previously nominated batches forin the monthsecond quarter of April 2020. This has led to a reduction in Mainline System throughputs of approximately 400 kbpd for the monthsecond quarter of April 2020 compared to first quarter 2020 average Mainline System throughputs of 2,842 kbpd, which were aligned with or stronger than budgetour expectations. At this time, it is difficult to predict the quantum of the impact on Mainline System throughput for the monthremainder of May 2020 due to the unpredictability of the market currently as well as the projected duration of demand impacts caused by COVID-19, but it is estimatedCOVID-19. We continue to expect that Mainline System volumes will be under utilized by 200-400 kbpd in the impact for the secondthird quarter of 2020 could beand 100-300 kbpd in the rangefourth quarter of 4002020, and return to 600 kbpd lower than the average volumes over the first quarter.full utilization in early 2021. For every 100 kbpd increase or decrease in volumes on our Mainline System, our revenues, net of power savings, are expected to increase or decline by approximately $35 million per quarter.
 
While reduced demand has impacted throughput and revenue on the Mainline System, the financial impact of reduced throughput on our upstream regional pipelines and our downstream market extension pipelines is largely mitigated by the presence of take-or-pay contracts. The financial impact is also mitigated through cost of servicecost-of-service arrangements with credit-worthy counterparties or parties that are not investment grade but have instead provided credit support in the form of letters of credit or other instruments. The existing market circumstances will stress the creditworthiness of many of these counterparties and we continue to evaluate the situation on an ongoing basis. To date, we have not had any counterparty default on its obligations to maintain credit support or pay its tolls under these contracts and at this time, we do not foresee a material impact to our financial results.

Shippers have also reduced investment in exploration and development programs for 2020. The decline in oil prices is also causing some sponsors of oil sands development programs to reconsider the timing of previously announced upstream development projects. Cancellation or deferral of these projects would affect longer-term supply growth from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB).

With respect to our Gas Transmission and Midstream assets, the low commodity prices have had limited impact on demand for natural gas shipped within our long-haul Gas Transmission assets in the United States and Canada. These assets are comprised of primarily cost-of-service and take-or-pay contract arrangements which are not directly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices.

Within our US Midstream assets, our investment in DCP Midstream and to a lesser extent the Aux Sable liquids product plant are engaged in the businesses of gathering, treating and processing natural gas and natural gas liquids. Given the drastic decline in commodity prices, DCP Midstream made the decision to decrease its distribution to us by 50 percent (beginning with the first quarter distribution paid in May 2020), thereby reducing our cash flows. Aux Sable results will also be negatively impacted by these lower commodity prices.

With respect to our Energy Services business, we generate margins by capitalizing on quality, time and location differentials when opportunities arise. The recent volatility in commodity prices could limit margin opportunities and impede our ability to cover capacity commitments.

At this point, given the many outstanding questions as to the length and depth of the current low commodity price environment, the impact on us is uncertain; however, it is possible that it may have an adverse impact on our business and our results of operations.
