CALGARY, AB, Dec. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL) (NYSE: PBA) is pleased to provide its 2021 financial guidance, announce the reactivation of two previously deferred growth projects, and deliver an end-of-year business update.

Summary
Executive Comment
Pembina is proud of the results we have delivered throughout 2020 in the face of unprecedented challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Operationally, our staff, and the front-line workers in particular, have delivered safe, reliable and uninterrupted service for our customers despite a difficult and uncertain environment. Financially, the resilience and predictability of Pembina's business has once again been proven, as it was during the 2009 financial crisis and 2015 commodity price downturn, further validating our long-term strategy, recent diversification efforts and steadfast commitment to the Company's financial guardrails. Finally, everyone at Pembina has demonstrated great personal leadership and fortitude in adapting to new ways of working and supporting each other and our communities during this difficult year.
For more information on Pembina's significant assets, including as such relate to definitions for capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined, refer to Pembina's Annual Information Form (the "AIF") filed at www.sedar.com (filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov under Form 40-F) and at www.pembina.com. |
As we close out 2020, our attention is firmly on the future and the role Pembina will continue to play in providing essential transportation and midstream services to our customers and end users. These services ultimately ensure that our society has the essential energy needed to power businesses and hospitals, fuel cars, heat homes, cook food and support overall quality of life.
While the topic of energy transition has become more prominent over the past few months, Pembina believes that significant structural changes to the world's energy systems will have to evolve over many decades. Most credible third-party forecasts highlight the continued importance of oil and natural gas in powering the global economy. Even by 2050, it is estimated that total energy demand will continue to be met primarily by hydrocarbon energy, alongside a growing contribution from renewable energy. It remains our view that population growth and rising global living standards will continue to drive energy demand higher, and without affordable, reliable and clean energy, social progress may be significantly delayed or entirely at risk. That is why Pembina remains a proud provider of the services that get energy to where the world needs it. We are well positioned to support the growing use of natural gas to reduce global emissions and our proximity to Asia, and its growing energy demand, represents another strategic opportunity. Further, Pembina has many of the core competencies to adjust to a changing energy mix and is positioned to provide infrastructure services for new forms of energy, including energy produced from hydrogen, and carbon sequestration. Moreover, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers in ensuring Canadian energy is developed and delivered with leading environmental, social and governance ("ESG") standards and practices in place, making it the most ethically produced energy in the world. Pembina was proud to recently release our second full-length sustainability report, which highlights our strong track record as well as priorities for improvement going forward.
Looking more closely at the North American energy industry, for the first time in a while, Pembina views the opportunities in Canada more favorably than the U.S. in the near term owing to relatively lower decline rates, and producers, particularly in the mid-cap space, having comparably stronger balance sheets and a proven ability to live within their own cash flow.
The resilience that Pembina has demonstrated this year is due, in part, to the producing customers that have taken steps to protect their balance sheets and continue generating positive free cash flow despite the decline in commodity prices. While in most cases producers will need to see higher oil prices to grow production, their long-term development plans have been re-affirmed, as has the opportunity for Pembina to grow to meet their infrastructure needs. Overall industry activity levels have stabilized and are increasing, with a particularly promising growth outlook for the northeast British Columbia Montney and Duvernay areas. Pembina views the recent consolidation of oil and gas producers positively and expects more in the coming year. In our view, this consolidation will improve Pembina's overall counterparty credit profile and the combined entities will be generally better positioned to allocate capital to growth opportunities.
Pembina's positive outlook for the energy sector supports the re-start of two important growth projects, which is reflected in our 2021 guidance and capital budget, as discussed in detail below. After a challenging 2020, there is a renewed sense of focus and optimism at Pembina. In responding decisively to the COVID-19 pandemic, we effectively 'hit the pause button' and there is a sense of being able to 'hit play' again in early 2021 given progress on numerous vaccines and an expectation of a return to some economic normalcy.
Business Update
Conventional Pipelines
Pembina has seen activity in its conventional pipelines business steadily improve since the second quarter of 2020, following the rapid decline in commodity prices. Physical throughput in November and December remains stable and trending upward. Since the production lows experienced in late April and early May, Pembina has seen a recovery of approximately 100,000 barrels per day ("bpd") across its conventional pipeline systems, with 2020 exit rates equaling rates seen at the beginning of 2020. With the conventional systems currently operating at, or near, take-or-pay levels, there is tremendous operational leverage as incremental volumes will contribute directly to the Company's financial results.
Pembina has continued to secure firm service commitments on the Peace Pipeline system while extending many existing contracts in the process. Firm volume commitments will reach approximately one million bpd in 2023 and currently, the weighted average term of Peace and Northern pipeline contracts is approximately eight years.
Further, Pembina has minimal contracts expiring on Peace Pipeline in 2021 and continues to progress the renewal of the legacy Phase I and II contracts, which have staggered expiries through to 2027. Pembina has successfully renewed or replaced the Phase I and II contracts that expired in 2019 and 2020 and remains highly confident that the majority of the remaining contracts nearing maturity will be renewed, or their firm capacity resold, thus preserving the current earnings profile. This expectation is based on a variety of compelling factors including:
New Integrated Service Offering
Pembina is pleased to announce that it has entered, directly and through its joint venture affiliates, into long-term, take-or-pay agreements with Pipestone Energy Corp. ("Pipestone Energy") for a fully integrated service offering, including natural gas gathering and processing by Veresen Midstream and liquids transportation and fractionation services by Pembina. Pipestone Energy has also committed to acquire, subject to availability and compliance with regulatory and tariff requirements, long-term natural gas transportation on Alliance Pipeline. This arrangement will utilize available firm capacity at Veresen Midstream's Hythe expansion project and is underpinned by approximately 10-year take-or-pay contracts commencing in the fourth quarter of 2022. Volumes are expected to flow in advance of the commencement of the contracts, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021. With this arrangement, the Hythe expansion project is now fully committed.
Acquisition of Empress Interest
Pembina has acquired an additional 11.25 percent interest in the Pembina Empress Extraction Plant, of which Pembina currently is the majority owner and operator. The acquisition provides Pembina with 135 million cubic feet per day ("mmcf/d") of incremental ethane-plus extraction capacity at the Empress NGL Extraction Facility.
Ruby Pipeline
Pembina owns a 50 percent convertible, cumulative preferred interest in the Ruby Pipeline ("Ruby"), which provides for distributions of US$91 million annually in priority to distributions on common equity. Ruby has approximately one billion cubic feet per day of capacity under firm contracts, which expire in 2021 and 2026. Ruby has served as a reliable source of natural gas supply for the California market, with throughput averaging nearly 700 mmcf/d since the beginning of 2018. Furthermore, Ruby is a carbon-neutral pipeline and responsible source of natural gas supply to the Pacific Northwest region, providing optimism for its future value.
At the same time, the existing tariff rate on firm contracts that expire in mid-2021 are well in excess of the current spot rates. As such, based on the upcoming expiries and prevailing interruptible tariff rates, along with Rockies basin fundamentals, and the ongoing uncertainty with respect to the timing of the ultimate approval of the Jordan Cove LNG Project, which would ultimately be expected to utilize capacity on Ruby, Pembina expects to take a material impairment on its investment in Ruby in the fourth quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the carrying value of Pembina's investment in Ruby was $1.3 billion.
Project Updates
Peace Pipeline Expansions
Pembina is reactivating the Phase VII Peace Pipeline Expansion ("Phase VII"). Phase VII includes a new 20-inch, pipeline and associated infrastructure in the LaGlace-Valleyview-Fox Creek corridor and is aimed at meeting transportation needs arising from the growth of condensate supply in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB").
Pembina's decision to re-commence construction of Phase VII was based on extensive discussions with its producing customers, validating long-term development plans and leading to a clear understanding and consensus regarding their need for future intra-basin transportation. These discussions confirmed both the need for, and the timing of, Phase VII. Additionally, these discussions confirmed that beyond 2021, there is growing customer demand for transportation services to support development of the Montney resource play, particularly within the liquids-rich LaGlace to Kakwa corridor and northeast British Columbia.
As part of the discussions undertaken with customers, the Company has renegotiated terms with certain customers to align long-term objectives and ultimately secure an additional nearly 600,000 net acres through area-of-dedication agreements ("AODs") or similar instruments, resulting in production from more than two million acres of total land now dedicated to the Peace Pipeline system. Much of the production in respect of land recently dedicated is behind third-party midstream processing plants, the volumes from which, absent these AODs, may have otherwise been available to flow on proposed competing projects.
In addition, Pembina's joint-venture entity, Veresen Midstream, has secured an option from two key customers for NGL extraction rights on up to 750 mmcf/d of natural gas. If the option is exercised by Veresen Midstream, the 15-year agreement would allow for incremental ethane-plus mix of approximately 50,000 bpd.
The capital cost estimate for Phase VII has been revised lower, by approximately $175 million, to $775 million, reflecting a reimagining of the project to optimize the scope with customers' current development plans and transportation requirements. The initial capacity of Phase VII has been reduced from the previous 240,000 bpd, to 160,000 bpd. However, the ability to quickly and efficiently return the project to its original capacity has been retained. The lower capital cost reflects fewer pump stations, as well as additional savings achieved through value engineering and an optimized construction and procurement strategy. Approximately $300 million, or 40 percent, had been invested in the project as of September 30, 2020. Phase VII is now anticipated to be in service in the first half of 2023.
Once Phase VII is complete, Pembina will have 1.1 million bpd of Edmonton area market delivery capacity across the Company's Peace and Northern pipeline systems. Through the re-scoping of Phase VII, Pembina has maintained the ability to reach the previously envisioned ultimate capacity of the Peace system, and will pursue this through a more measured, capital efficient, economic and orderly expansion program focused on higher utilization rates, making the entire system even more competitive.
The previously announced Phase VIII and IX Peace Pipeline expansions were designed to accommodate further customer demand in the Montney area by debottlenecking constraints, accessing downstream capacity, and further enhancing product segregation on the Peace Pipeline system. While these two projects remain deferred, the initial contracts supporting the project are still in place and there remain strong indications of interest for incremental capacity. Value engineering work is ongoing and given strong customer interest, Pembina expects to make a decision in 2021 to re-activate these projects. As of September 30, 2020, Pembina had invested a combined $40 million in these two projects. Reactivation of these projects would have minimal impact on Pembina's 2021 capital program.
Phase VIII and Phase IX would complete the segregation of LVP and HVP products across the system supporting further optimization opportunities. As well, Pembina continues to have the ability to add approximately 200,000 bpd of capacity to its market delivery pipelines from Fox Creek, Alberta to Namao, Alberta through the relatively low-cost addition of pump stations on these mainlines, bringing the total capacity of the Peace and Northern pipelines to 1.3 million bpd. Full segregation of commodities on Peace Pipeline would allow system optimization opportunities due to the reduction of batching and quality management issues. This optimization, previously referred to as Phase X, could create up to an incremental 100,000 bpd of capacity with minimal capital spending.
Empress Co-generation Facility
Pembina is also pleased to announce it is proceeding with the restart of the co-generation facility at the Empress NGL Extraction Facility ("Empress Co-generation Facility"). This is the Company's second co-generation project following the very successful development of a co-generation facility at the Redwater Complex. The Empress Co-generation Facility will use natural gas to generate up to 45 megawatts of electrical power, thereby reducing overall operating costs by providing power and heat to the existing Empress NGL Extraction Facility. All the power will be consumed on site, thereby supplying approximately 90 percent of the site's power requirements. Further, this project will contribute to annual greenhouse gas emission reductions at the Empress NGL Extraction Facility through the utilization of the co-generation waste heat and the low-emission power generated. Pembina anticipates a reduction of approximately 88,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year based on the current energy demand of the Empress NGL Extraction Facility.
The expected capital cost of the project is $120 million, of which approximately 10 percent had been invested as of September 30, 2020. While this project was deferred, Pembina maintained the necessary level of investment to ensure the project remained 'shovel ready', with turbine fabrication now complete and delivery scheduled to occur in the fourth quarter of 2020. The project is trending under budget, having similarly gone through a value engineering exercise during the project deferral period. The revised expected in-service date of this project is now the first quarter of 2023, subject to regulatory and environmental approvals.
Pembina is evaluating two additional opportunities for co-generation facilities at other locations, which would allow the Company to predictably reduce operating costs as well as continue to reduce emissions intensity within the Facilities Division.
CKPC's PDH/PP Facility
Pembina and its partner, Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. ("PIC"), continue to evaluate the integrated propane dehydration ("PDH") plant and polypropylene upgrading facility ("PDH/PP Facility") through their joint venture, Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Limited Partnership ("CKPC").
While Pembina continues to believe in the strategic rationale of this project, the significant risks arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, most notably with respect to costs under the lump sum contract for construction of the PDH plant, which remains under force majeure condition, require CKPC to suspend execution of the project indefinitely. CKPC is working through a process to manage, defer or cancel existing agreements with, among others, the lump-sum consortium, lenders, and technology licensers, in order to minimize the need for additional capital contributions. CKPC will continue to take action to safeguard its existing investment associated with long-lead equipment and intellectual property.
As a result of the uncertainty, in the fourth quarter of 2020 Pembina will be recognizing a material impairment on its investment in CKPC.
Pembina remains committed to its global market access strategy and helping to ensure that hydrocarbons produced in the WCSB, and the other basins where the Company operates, can reach the highest value markets throughout the world.
Prince Rupert Terminal Expansion
Construction of the Prince Rupert Terminal is ongoing and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021. Pembina continues to engineer an expansion of the Prince Rupert Terminal and the ongoing evaluation of this project now contemplates incremental volumes of 25,000 bpd, as well as the use of mid-size gas carriers, which would increase the vessel capacity from 150,000 barrels, to 250,000 barrels, thereby improving economies of scale and competitiveness of the facility by lowering per unit lifting and vessel transport costs to premium markets. In addition, the mid-size gas carriers are fully refrigerated, opening up additional opportunities to serve markets with fully refrigerated terminals, as well as continuing to service other niche markets with smaller, semi-refrigerated handy-size ships. Pembina's rail yard in Redwater, Alberta, is built for unit train capability that provides unique transportation, logistics and cost advantages to Pembina, and will cost-effectively supply the anticipated growth of the terminal. Engineering of the expansion is well advanced, and Pembina expects to make a final investment decision in the first half of 2021.
2021 Guidance
Based on the Company's expectations and outlook for 2021, Pembina is anticipating adjusted EBITDA of $3.2 to $3.4 billion. Relative to 2020, adjusted EBITDA next year will be positively impacted by approximately $1 billion of new assets that will have entered service in 2020 and during the first quarter of 2021, including the Phase VI Peace Pipeline Expansion, Duvernay III, fractionation and terminalling facilities at the Empress NGL Extraction Facility, the Hythe Developments project and the Prince Rupert Terminal. The contribution from new assets will be partially offset by a lower contribution from Ruby Pipeline and the Edmonton South Rail Terminal, and the currently prevailing outlook for a stronger Canadian dollar, relative to the U.S. dollar, in 2021. The Company has hedged approximately 50 percent of its 2021 frac spread exposure, excluding Aux Sable, with these hedges having been systematically entered into throughout 2019 and 2020.
The outlook for 2021 also reflects $100 million of sustained cost savings achieved in 2020. Extending and enhancing 2020 cost savings and efficiencies into 2021 and beyond will be a major focus in 2021. The Company continuously evaluates and implements initiatives to drive efficiency, aiming to create sustainable long-term value for customers, employees, communities and investors. Pembina has engaged a third-party to support the continuation of work underway to consider, configure, and implement high-impact initiatives to create sustainable value through optimization. Pembina expects to further leverage digital technology and predictive analytics to optimize system capacity, increase asset utilization and performance, optimize power requirements, improve margins and create more efficient workflows. Ultimately, these efforts will result in reduced costs and improved organizational productivity.
In addition to the drivers mentioned above, the following factors could contribute to actual results within the 2021 guidance range:
2021 Adjusted EBITDA | Key Contributing Factors |
Low End: $3.2 billion |
|
High End: $3.4 billion |
|
Current income tax expense in 2021 is anticipated to be $180 to $220 million as Pembina will continue to benefit from the availability of tax pools from assets recently placed into service. This outlook represents a slight decrease compared to the expected expense for 2020, reflecting primarily the reduction of the corporate tax rates in the Province of Alberta, new rules for accelerated capital cost allowances, and a reduction in taxable earnings in certain deferred partnerships.
2021 Capital Expenditures
Pembina's 2021 capital program is expected to be allocated as follows:
($ millions) | 2021 Budget (1) |
Pipelines Division | $540 |
Facilities Division | $140 |
Marketing & New Ventures Division | $25 |
Corporate | $25 |
Capital Expenditures | $730 |
Contributions to Equity Accounted Investees & Advances to Related Parties | $55 |
Capital Expenditures and Contributions to Equity Accounted Investees & Advances to Related Parties | $785 |
(1) Capital budget shown in Canadian dollars based on a forecasted average USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.33. |
Pembina's Pipelines Division capital investments will be primarily related to the construction of Phase VII, in addition to remaining capital to be spent on projects previously placed into service and smaller growth projects including various new laterals and terminals.
Capital investments in the Facilities Division will be focused on completion of the Prince Rupert Terminal, the Empress Co-generation Facility and the Vancouver Wharves diesel handling expansion project.
Marketing and New Ventures Division capital investments will be focused on ongoing regulatory and permitting requirements related to the Jordan Cove LNG project and advancing Pembina's remaining portfolio of unsecured development opportunities.
Spending within the Corporate segment is primarily targeted at information technology enhancements to further the Company's optimization initiatives.
Contributions to Equity Accounted Investees & Advances to Related Parties primarily relate to various projects at Veresen Midstream.
The Company's 2021 capital program includes:
2021 Capital Allocation and Funding
Pembina has a strong track record of value creation through disciplined capital allocation and the creation of long-term annuities. Over the past 10 years, Pembina has generated 9 and 11 percent compound annual per share growth in earnings and adjusted cash flow from operating activities, respectively. Capital investments have not only grown the Company, but also diversified and de-risked the business.
As a result, Pembina has confidence in its ability to generate long-term shareholder value through capital investment and will continue to first prioritize allocating capital to growth projects with attractive risk-adjusted returns. Unlike other options for capital allocation, investing in growth projects will further enhance Pembina's capabilities, improve customer service and extend the longevity of its long-term, stable cash flow streams.
In 2021, at the low end of the Company's adjusted EBITDA guidance range, the 2021 capital investment program is fully funded by cash flow after dividends. Towards the middle and upper end of the 2021 adjusted EBITDA guidance range, Pembina will generate excess discretionary cash flow, which will be available for debt reduction, or opportunistic common share repurchases, based on the relative risk-adjusted returns of each option. Pembina expects to remain within its financial guardrails with ample liquidity. Leverage metrics are expected to remain within the ranges for a strong 'BBB' credit rating. Pembina has received board approval, and intends to make an application to the TSX, to establish a normal course issuer bid which, subject to TSX approval, would enable the Company to repurchase up to five percent of its outstanding common shares over a 12-month period.
Pembina's commitment to its dividend can be evidenced by examining history. Throughout past commodity and financial cycles, as well as the conversion from a non-taxable to taxable entity, Pembina has maintained and grown its dividend. Dividend increases are typically approved by the Board of Directors in May of each year. Pembina will continue to evaluate the merits of dividend growth relative to other opportunities for capital allocation as 2021 evolves, particularly in consideration of the yield on the dividend.
Earlier this year, prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and based on unsolicited expressions of interest, Pembina began to explore the potential monetization of certain assets, in the range of $200 to $500 million, which had lower strategic fit or integration potential. These asset sales processes were independent of Pembina's efforts to bolster its financial strength in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic, including most notably the resulting physical distancing protocols, as well as the impact to financial markets, were not conducive to full value maximization. As such, Pembina is unlikely to proceed with the sale of material non-core assets in the immediate future. The Company remains open to monetizing assets where a third-party view of intrinsic value exceeds its own.
Advancing Pembina's Portfolio of Other Growth Opportunities
Pembina continues to find opportunities to grow its business and improve customer netbacks by capitalizing on the competitive advantages provided by its diverse and integrated value chain. The Company remains uniquely positioned to drive synergies from previous acquisitions and benefit from new third-party infrastructure set to provide enhanced access to global markets for WCSB-based hydrocarbons. The Canadian energy industry is not egress constrained for the first time in many years and additional third-party egress in the form of Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, LNG Canada, and Enbridge's Line 3 Replacement should improve relative pricing for Canadian hydrocarbons, support future growth in the WCSB and provide new opportunities for Pembina. Notably, the various oil pipeline projects represent approximately one million bpd of incremental WCSB egress capacity.
The scale, breadth and diversification of Pembina's business inherently provides a strong suite of greenfield, brownfield, optimization and new market development opportunities. These opportunities range in size from a hundred million dollars to several billion dollars and have risk-adjusted rates of return consistent with Pembina's track record. While the timeline is not certain, the Company is diligently advancing several opportunities.
Cochin expansion and reactivation
Pembina has evaluated the capacity of the Cochin Pipeline system and identified opportunities to increase the capacity of the system by up to 50 percent, including 25,000 bpd with little to no capital requirements and an additional 25,000 bpd by investing modest capital in integrity and other upgrades of the system. Pembina also has been approached about several opportunities to reactivate the idle east leg of the Cochin Pipeline system with various service offerings.
The Company is advancing commercial discussions for this incremental Cochin Pipeline capacity, including potential open seasons, all subject to customary regulatory and other approvals, as required.
In combination with these capacity increases, Pembina is evaluating new connections near Chicago, Illinois; Bakken, North Dakota; Hardisty, Alberta; and Empress, Alberta to add high quality condensate and diversify receipt locations on the system. The combination of Peace, Cochin, Drayton Valley and Redwater condensate, all connected to Pembina's Canadian diluent hub, provides superior flexibility, flow assurance and enhanced value to Pembina customers across North America.
Positioned to capitalize on new third-party egress
Pembina's Edmonton Terminals are positioned to be the landing spot for heavy crude oil destined for overseas markets via the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, which is currently under construction and has an expected in-service date at the end of 2022. Given close operational ties with Trans Mountain, the largest number of inbound connections in the Edmonton area (12 inlets), and premium in-place assets, including pumps and manifolds, Pembina's terminals will be uniquely valuable to current and future customers as the Company supports Trans Mountain in maximizing operational efficiency and enhancing customers' netbacks. Current opportunities for customers to secure tank positions, as well as the flexibility to build out incremental storage in 2023, further solidify Pembina's footprint in the Edmonton market.
Further, as LNG Canada is expected to come on stream in 2025, providing liquefied natural gas export capability off Canada's West Coast, the incremental gas required to fill that capacity will generate incremental condensate and NGL that will require transportation from northeast British Columbia and NGL processing in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. Pembina is well situated to accommodate demand for these services through existing or new infrastructure, being the primary conduit to bring hydrocarbons from the field to the export pipelines.
"Pembina has a proven track record of disciplined and strategic capital allocation and this remains one of the Company's top priorities. Our history is one of developing strong franchises that are advantaged by their integration with the existing value chain, and ensuring new projects are supported by significant contractual underpinnings, strong counterparties, and robust underlying geology. Further, we have been, and will continue to be, unwavering in executing our strategy within Pembina's financial guardrails," concluded Mick Dilger, President and Chief Executive Officer." Mr. Dilger added, "Prudent financial stewardship through 2020 set the groundwork for 2021 and a return to growth, commencing with the reactivation of the Phase VII Peace Pipeline Expansion and Empress Co-generation Facility. These projects highlight the economic growth opportunities afforded by Pembina's industry-leading footprint, even during a period of overall slower industry growth."

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms adjusted EBITDA and adjusted cash flow from operating activities, which do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP. Since non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that non-GAAP financial measures be clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP. The measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Other issuers may calculate this non-GAAP measure differently. Investors should be cautioned that this measure should not be construed as an alternative to earnings or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to, the most directly comparable measure recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

Building upon our strong foundation, we will seek to further integrate sustainable business practices throughout the Company", said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Today, I am pleased to announce the addition of Janet Loduca, who has joined Pembina as General Counsel and Vice President, Legal and Sustainability. With over 30 years of legal, environmental, regulatory and sustainability experience, Janet will be instrumental in advancing our ESG priorities and developing a long-term sustainability strategy", added Mr. Dilger.
Pembina recognizes the growing risks and opportunities of climate change and the role our industry must play in reducing greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions while supplying the world with affordable and reliable energy. As a company we are committed to pursuing emissions reduction initiatives across our businesses. We assess opportunities and employ new practices that can lower our emissions footprint, including investing in co-generation facilities. We recently completed the construction of a co-generation facility at our Redwater Complex, which will reduce our emissions intensity, and are evaluating similar opportunities at other locations.
We have also launched a process to enhance ESG integration across the Company, including establishing a governance framework to develop a longer-term GHG strategy and emissions intensity reduction targets. Our targets will guide business decisions, drive emissions reductions and improve overall emissions intensity performance, while increasing our long-term value and resilience. Finally, we believe that linking compensation to corporate performance on these important factors aligns with long-term value creation and our stakeholders' interests. As such, we are focused on redesigning our compensation methodologies for 2021 with ESG performance as a significant component.

Financial & Operational Highlights
Divisional Highlights
Executive Overview
Pembina's results for the third quarter of 2020 again reinforced the stability and resiliency of our business and the strategy that underpins it. Our focus on integration across the hydrocarbon value chain began over 10 years ago with the acquisition of the Cutbank Complex. It was furthered in 2012, by an expansion into the natural gas liquids midstream business, and then more so in 2017 with an expansion into the natural gas value chain. Along with integration came diversification of customers, commodities and currencies. Finally, an unwavering commitment to Pembina's financial guardrails has been a common thread through this cycle and those which have preceded it, including the 2015-16 oil price collapse and the 2008-09 financial crisis. Evidence of Pembina's resilience include:
While it is easy to become mired in the challenges facing the energy industry, a number of opportunities are beginning to come into greater focus and we remain optimistic as we approach 2021.
Firstly, the disruptions and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, deferral of major capital projects and new work-from-home protocols have afforded Pembina the opportunity to sharpen its focus on the productivity and efficiency of the business. Our focus has been overwhelmingly growth oriented for many years and current circumstances have created space to enhance another capability, ultimately benefiting all our stakeholders – customers, investors, employees and communities. In March, we announced a target of reducing full year operating and general and administrative expenses by $100 million relative to the Company's 2020 budget. We currently expect that 2020 cost savings will exceed our original target by approximately 50 percent. A significant portion of those savings are expected to be sustainable into 2021 and beyond.
Secondly, activity levels have stabilized and are beginning to improve. In Pembina's conventional pipelines business, physical volumes in July and August were consistent with levels seen at the end of the second quarter, or roughly eight percent below first quarter levels and well above the lows experienced in late April and early May. As is typical for the third quarter of each year, physical volumes declined in September as operators elected to perform routine maintenance and turnaround activities. Additional unplanned outages at third-party facilities also contributed to lower physical volumes. October physical volumes have since recovered to levels slightly above those in July and August. Notably, despite slightly lower and more volatile physical volumes, due to the take-or-pay nature of the underlying contracts, revenue volumes in the conventional pipeline business during the third quarter were relatively unaffected.
Finally, Pembina continues to evaluate its portfolio of deferred projects. As it relates to the Phase VII Peace Pipeline Expansion in particular, engineering work is ongoing and focused on optimizing the scope of the project to meet customers' needs. As a result of this work, estimated project costs are trending materially lower. Phase VII and the other deferred projects, including CKPC's PDH/PP Facility, and the conditions under which they may be restarted, continue to be evaluated within the context of our customers' future plans and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global economic outlook. Further options for allocating capital include funding a growing backlog of other uncommitted growth projects, debt repayment and returning capital to shareholders. Pembina looks forward to providing a fulsome business update in early December, including an update on each of the Company's currently deferred capital projects, as well as its 2021 outlook, capital budget and funding plan.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities, including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates, climate change initiatives or policies or increased environmental regulation; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of acquisitions (including the Kinder Acquisition) due to the factors set out herein, integration issues or otherwise; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; risks relating to the current and potential adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and cyber security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities, and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share, which do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Since these non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that non-GAAP financial measures be clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, "Investments in Equity Accounted Investees". Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, "Share of Profit from Equity Accounted Investees". Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share of cash paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.
To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in adjusted EBITDA.
Other issuers may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, other than as described herein, including reconciliations to, the most directly comparable measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

Financial & Operational Highlights
Divisional Highlights
Executive Overview
Management believes that Pembina's second quarter financial and operational results reflect the full impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the concurrent decline in global energy prices. While much uncertainty remains, based on management's evaluation of current market conditions and the COVID-19 dynamic, the expectation is that the second quarter will be the quarter most impacted by these events in 2020. The outlook for the remainder of the year is more positive as economies around the world have entered various stages of re-opening and global energy prices have rebounded significantly from the lowest levels seen during this crisis.
Despite the challenging environment there are notable positives:
In Pembina's conventional pipeline business, the second quarter saw an approximately nine percent decrease in physical volumes compared to an average of the prior two quarters. Systems such as Peace, which are underpinned by a high degree of take-or-pay contracts, were slightly less impacted and systems without those contractual underpinnings, such as Drayton Valley, were slightly more impacted. Overall, physical volumes reached their lows in early May, at levels approximately 16 percent below the average levels from the prior two quarters. This represents a decrease of approximately 135,000 barrels per day ("bpd"), resulting from a combination of producer shut-ins and advancement of turnarounds and maintenance work. For Pembina, this low point was relatively short-lived and since early May, physical volumes in the conventional pipeline business have been steadily improving, albeit still approximately seven percent below first quarter levels. With stronger commodity prices driving higher interruptible volumes, and the placement into service of the Phase VI Peace Pipeline Expansion, physical volumes in the second half of the year are expected to continue to improve.
The marketing business endured one of the toughest periods in its history during the second quarter. The crude oil component of the business has been negatively impacted by reduced crude oil activities due to lower prices and tighter price differentials. Similarly, the NGL component of the business has seen relatively strong natural gas prices combined with weaker NGL prices, resulting in narrower frac spreads. With weaker NGL prices during the quarter, Pembina took the proactive approach to store additional NGL volumes, with the intent to monetize those volumes during the upcoming winter of 2020-2021. Fortunately, the recovery in both crude oil and NGL forward prices from second quarter lows continues to look more favourable.
Pembina has hedged 50 percent of its NGL frac spread exposure for 2020, excluding Aux Sable, and these hedges were entered into systematically throughout 2019 at prices higher than those experienced to date in 2020. This has resulted in significant realized hedging gains in the year-to-date results and provides ongoing protection for the remainder of the year. To date, Pembina has hedged approximately 40 percent of its 2021 frac spread exposure, excluding Aux Sable. The 2021 hedges have been entered into throughout 2019 and 2020 and therefore reflect a combination of higher and lower frac spread environments but overall, provide protection against further narrowing of 2021 frac spreads. Pembina intends to continue to execute on its 2021 derivative program through the third quarter of 2020 with an intent to hedge approximately 50 percent of its 2021 frac spread exposure, excluding Aux Sable.
During the first quarter, the Company took the unprecedented, but prudent, step to defer $4.5 billion of capital projects, reducing its 2020 capital investment plans by between $900 million and $1.1 billion. At the midpoint of 2020, Pembina is on track to realize a reduction in its capital investment plan of approximately $1.1 billion. Challenging weather conditions and COVID-19 related precautions and delays resulted in capital cost overruns in 2020 of approximately $100 million. Additionally, during the second quarter Pembina added approximately $90 million of additional growth capital investment into 2020. These investments are accretive, commercially-supported projects in key focus areas. Pembina's 2020 capital program is now expected to total approximately $1.5 billion.
Looking beyond 2020, Pembina remains focused on growing the business and meeting its customers' needs. Pembina continues to evaluate its portfolio of both new and deferred projects for conditions under which they can commence.
The Phase VII, VIII and IX Peace Pipeline Expansions will continue to be evaluated based on customer needs and an assessment of future transportation requirements in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, including greater stability in volumes and prices and a clearer forecast of basin activity. In the interim, Pembina is well positioned to handle all customers' volumes, with approximately 250,000 bpd of currently available physical capacity on the Peace and Northern systems and the option to provide additional low-cost solutions such as targeted minor capital projects to meet specific producers' needs.
Regarding Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Limited Partnership's ("CKPC") PDH/PP Facility, the project team has substantially completed the activities to safely and cost-effectively defer the project. The fabrication of critical long-lead items has continued, and key talent and knowledge have been retained, all to preserve project value for an efficient potential re-start. Pembina and its joint-venture partner continue to evaluate a number of factors related to the project. First, a necessary condition is that the safety of all personnel can be assured. Second, while the immediate incremental costs associated with COVID-19 were contained by the decision to defer the project, the future and ongoing risks need to be understood and priced into the project cost estimate. Third, the full impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and future demand for polypropylene remains uncertain and needs to be carefully evaluated. Fourth, with both Federal and Provincial governments, as well as our project financing syndicate, indicating extensions have, or will be, granted, we remain confident that the original investment parameters can be re-confirmed. Finally, the project restart is subject to CKPC Management Committee approval and each partners' board approval.
The Prince Rupert Terminal Expansion and the Empress Co-generation Facility are progressing to be in a position for a potential re-start and we are adding other projects to this list, which could expand or extend Pembina's existing value chain and customer service offering.
The capital project deferrals discussed above ensure Pembina will maintain liquidity and leverage levels to preserve its strong financial position even in the event of a prolonged downturn. Pembina further enhanced its liquidity position during the second quarter by terming out approximately $850 million of debt drawn on the Company's credit facility and establishing a new $800 million revolving credit facility. Following the early redemption in July of $200 million of senior notes originally due in 2021, Pembina's liquidity position currently stands at $2.8 billion. With no debt maturities for the balance of 2020 and $600 million of maturities distributed throughout 2021, Pembina's liquidity position is ample.
The recent debt issuances, at a weighted average term to maturity of 17 years and a rate of approximately 3.2 percent, provided a strong endorsement from a broad cross section of the debt capital markets. Combined with the recent affirmation of Pembina's BBB credit rating by both Standard & Poor's and DBRS Limited, this validates the Company's strong financial position. The previously announced initiatives on non-core asset sales in the range of $200 to $500 million is progressing as planned. Pembina expects to be able to provide more details with the release of the Company's third quarter results in the fall.
The first half of 2020 has seen Pembina rise to an unprecedented challenge, reacting quickly and effectively in service of its stakeholders. Pembina's growth and diversification over recent years, combined with an unwavering commitment to its financial guardrails, ensured the Company was well positioned for a black swan event such as COVID-19. As a result of the decisive intervention taken early in the pandemic, Pembina expects to deliver financial results within its original guidance range and exit 2020 in a strong financial position. This will allow the Company to resume its deferred capital projects and continue its long track record of growth and providing its customers with exceptional value through its unmatched integrated value chain. As our employees begin a prudent transition back to our offices, we expect things to continue to normalize and we feel fortunate, all things considered.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share and fee-based distributable cash flow, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Since these non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that non-GAAP financial measures be clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, Share of Profit from Equity Accounted Investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.

Financial & Operational Highlights
Divisional Highlights
Executive Overview(1)
During this challenging and unprecedented period, everyone at Pembina hopes the Company's stakeholders - its employees, communities, customers and investors - are safe, healthy and finding a way to manage through these uniquely difficult circumstances. Pembina remains focused on the business and meeting the needs of customers while acknowledging the human impact and the immense toll the COVID-19 pandemic is having on everyone.
The current pandemic has far reaching implications for both human health and the health of the global economy. The concurrent decline in global energy prices further magnifies this crisis for energy-related businesses and the people and communities that are dependent upon them.
Today, while Pembina reported strong quarterly financial and operational results, the impact of these crises will begin to materialize more fully in subsequent quarters and this has informed Pembina's outlook for the remainder of the year, including our 2020 guidance, as discussed further below. In response to the health pandemic and the resulting significant decline in global energy prices, Pembina previously announced a decisive action plan to protect all its stakeholders.
$1.3 billion of new projects are expected to come into service throughout 2020 and early 2021. The decision to continue spending on these projects was informed by the fact that they are all well advanced, or nearing completion, and are therefore expected to contribute incremental adjusted EBITDA in the near future. By contrast, the deferred projects were in the early stages of planning or construction.
Planning, engineering and regulatory work done to date on the deferred projects will allow Pembina to quickly resume these projects to meet customers' needs when global energy prices and the broader economic environment support such action.
(1) | Notwithstanding the steps taken by Pembina to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the low commodity price environment on its business, these events and circumstances create and heighten certain risks and uncertainties that may impact its results of operations and financial conditions in future periods. These risks and uncertainties are outlined in more detail in Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the first quarter of 2020 (the "Q1 MD&A") and readers are urged to carefully review this disclosure, including under section 11 "Risk Factors" of the Q1 MD&A. |
Pembina recognizes that the prevailing energy prices and temporary demand disruptions have forced the Company's producing customers to take actions to preserve liquidity and strengthen their balance sheets. Capital budgets are being drastically reduced, which will result in moderation of growth or production declines. At the same time, producers continue to require safe and reliable midstream services to ensure their products continue to reach demand markets to maximize cash generation in this environment and ensure North American energy needs continue to be met.
Pembina has evaluated the impact producer spending decisions are expected to have on its business. While some volume declines across our system are anticipated, much of Pembina's business is protected by strong contracts. Pembina expects its marketing business will be more negatively impacted by the rapid and significant decline in energy prices. However, declining volumes and a lower marketing contribution will be somewhat offset by approximately $100 million of operating and administrative cost savings and efficiencies, which have been implemented throughout the business.
Overall, Pembina continues to expect 2020 adjusted EBITDA to remain within the previously disclosed guidance range, albeit the Company expects to be near the lower end of that range based on current estimates. While factoring in reduced volumes and lower commodity prices as noted above, the duration of the current situation and large-scale shut-ins could cause Pembina to fall below the low end of the guidance range.
Pembina's business is resilient in the face of current challenges. An unwavering commitment to the Company's financial guardrails has been a guiding principle for many years and, as a result, Pembina is well positioned.
The current situation is unparalleled and brings with it some unique challenges. However, Pembina has faced adversity before and always emerged strong. The Company weathered the 2008-09 financial crisis and the 2015- 16 energy price collapse. Pembina remained resilient throughout these cycles, growing both organically and through acquisition, which allowed it to deliver annual increases in adjusted EBITDA and dividends per common share. Further, the Company maintained an investment grade credit rating throughout. Today, a long-term commitment to the Company's financial guardrails and decisive action to defer capital spending ensures Pembina has the balance sheet strength and liquidity to weather the current storm and ensure that upon a return to more normal economic conditions and higher energy prices, Pembina will be ready and able to continue its long track record of delivering value to all stakeholders.
Projects and New Developments(2)
Pipelines and Facilities have $1.1 billion of capital projects underway, which in aggregate are trending on budget.

As previously announced, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting virtual shutdown of the global economy and the recent significant decline in global energy prices, Pembina made the decision to defer some projects within Pipelines:

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), cash flow from operating activities per common share (basic), adjusted cash flow from operating activities, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share (basic) and fee-based distributable cash flow, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Since these non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that non-GAAP financial measures be clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, Share of Profit from Equity Accounted Investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.
To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in adjusted EBITDA.
Other issuers may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to, the most directly comparable measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the year ended March 31, 2020, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, April 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it has entered into a new $800 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company further announced that its Board of Directors has declared a common share cash dividend for April 2020 of $0.21 per share and quarterly dividends for the Company's preferred shares.
New Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
Pembina has entered into a new $800 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with certain existing key lenders. The Facility will be available to Pembina for general corporate purposes, thereby providing additional liquidity and flexibility should it be required. The Facility will have an initial term of two years. The other terms and conditions of the Facility, including financial covenants, are substantially similar to Pembina's existing $2.5 billion revolving credit facility.
With the addition of the Facility, Pembina now has $3.3 billion in revolving credit facility capacity and approximately $2.3 billion in available cash and unutilized debt facilities. Further, over the next two years, Pembina's debt maturities are modest and include $73 million in 2020 and $800 million distributed across three instruments throughout 2021.
"In today's challenging and uncertain environment, ensuring ample liquidity is of utmost importance and I would like to acknowledge and thank our key lender group for their swift response. We enjoy productive, long-term relationships with our lenders and value their deep understanding of our business," stated Scott Burrows, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Over the past two weeks we have taken decisive and unprecedented action to preserve our strong balance sheet, protect our BBB credit rating and ensure we have the liquidity to fund our business until market conditions stabilize," added Mr. Burrows.
Common and Preferred Share Dividends
The common share cash dividend for April 2020 of $0.21 per share will be paid, subject to applicable law, on May 15, 2020 to shareholders of record on April 24, 2020.
For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S. funds, the April 2020 cash dividend is expected to be approximately U.S. $0.1485 per share (before deduction of any applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.7071. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes.
The common share dividends are designated "eligible dividends" for Canadian income tax purposes. For non-resident shareholders, Pembina's common share dividends should be considered "qualified dividends" and may be subject to Canadian withholding tax.

CALGARY, March 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") is pleased to announce receipt of a certificate of approval from the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") for Pembina's proposed Jordan Cove liquified natural gas ("LNG") terminal and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline (together known as "Jordan Cove" or "the Project"). Jordan Cove is the first ever U.S. West Coast natural gas export facility to be approved by FERC. This federal approval is a significant milestone for the Project and for Pembina.
Pembina acquired Jordan Cove in late 2017 and has since been working toward obtaining extensive local, state and federal regulatory approvals. The Project includes a 229-mile pipeline, that would traverse four counties in Southern Oregon, and an LNG export terminal in Coos Bay, Oregon. Natural gas for Jordan Cove would be sourced at the Malin Hub, creating a new outlet for natural gas from areas such as the Rockies Basin. The Project represents a significant opportunity to bring tremendous economic benefits to the State of Oregon and Western Colorado and make a substantial contribution to addressing global climate change by replacing coal in Asia.
The bi-partisan FERC is currently comprised of three appointed Commissioners and serves as the federal agency responsible for reviewing proposals to build interstate natural gas pipelines, natural gas storage projects, and LNG terminals. The FERC's approval of the Project is the result of comprehensive environmental, safety and security reviews involving input from both federal and state agencies, Tribes, landowners and many other stakeholders.
Today's affirmative decision from the FERC represents the most significant step forward for Jordan Cove since Pembina acquired the Project. "We appreciate FERC's science-based approach to their review. The approval emphasizes yet again that Jordan Cove is environmentally responsible and is a project that should be permitted given a prudent regulatory and legal process was undertaken," said Harry Andersen, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. "The FERC's decision is due in no small part to our many supporters who have turned out time and time again to voice their support for Jordan Cove and to show that the Project is in the public interest, including in Southern Oregon and the Rockies Basin," added Mr. Andersen.
This decision is one of many significant steps forward for Jordan Cove in recent months. In addition to this federal approval, Jordan Cove recently received approval on all 14 local jurisdiction county and city applications and permits. Also, the Company has signed voluntary easement agreements that constitute 77 percent of the privately-owned portion of the proposed pipeline route, which will allow the pipeline to cross beneath these properties.

Financial & Operational Highlights
Divisional Highlights
Executive Overview
This past year, Pembina marked its 65th anniversary and we have much to celebrate with this milestone. From rather humble beginnings as a single pipeline in Alberta with 31 people and an enterprise value of $20 million, Pembina has grown into one of Canada's largest companies. Today, we are nearly 3,000 people strong with an enterprise value in excess of $40 billion.
As proud as we are about the past, our stakeholders are more interested in the future. The keys to our success to date - our unwavering commitment to long-term value creation, rather than chasing trends or fads, combined with solid core values and consideration of all stakeholders - will continue to propel us to new successes. Furthermore, we have put forth a number of financial rules, or 'guardrails', which are our commitment to continue to grow both the depth and breadth of our value chain in a disciplined way. This approach results in greater synergy, value-added service and diversification. This is the Pembina way and it will not change.
From a financial perspective, a number of new records were set in 2019. Earnings in 2019 of $1.5 billion were 17 percent higher than the previous year. Record adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 billion, exceeded the high end of our guidance range and our 2019 adjusted cash flow per share of $4.36 was another all-time high.
In 2019, we placed in excess of $600 million of projects safely and successfully into service, including Duvernay II, Burstall Ethane Storage as well as other infrastructure at our Redwater Complex. Furthermore, we are excited about the $1.2 billion of additional fee based projects which are expected to enter service in 2020. With these new projects coming online, in conjunction with the contribution from the Kinder Acquisition assets, we anticipate generating 2020 adjusted EBITDA of between $3.25 and $3.55 billion.
The most significant single event this year was the $4.25 billion Kinder Acquisition. At our 2019 Investor Day, we talked about our focus on getting better, not just bigger and this acquisition clearly make us better. The majority of the assets we acquired are already directly connected to our system. The Edmonton Terminals connect our pipeline systems with the major trunkline third-party export pipelines. Based on their location and connectivity, these assets sit at the nexus of the Canadian oil market and are essentially impossible to replicate. By owning these assets, Pembina gains another premium franchise, thereby enhancing the longevity and stability of our earnings stream. In addition, in the current political and regulatory environment, 'pipe in the ground' and particularly cross-border pipelines, possess considerable scarcity value. The Cochin Pipeline, which transports premium condensate from the U.S. Midwest to Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, offers access to another condensate supply basin, is connected to Pembina's Canadian Diluent Hub and strengthens our existing condensate franchise. Finally, the assets we acquired have considerable upside by overlaying Pembina's exiting commercial models.
In addition to the strategic benefits, the acquisition also has a positive financial impact, enhancing the diversification in our business and providing opportunities for future growth. These assets are predominantly supported by long-term fee-for-service, take-or-pay contracts, which are underpinned by strong investment grade counterparties, enhancing Pembina's financial guardrails. We have identified meaningful financial upside available from a portfolio of small capital projects and the integration of the acquired assets within Pembina's existing businesses. Over the next five years, we expect to realize additional annual adjusted EBITDA of $100 million, a roughly 30 percent increase, with only modest capital spending.
As we look to the future, we are excited about our continued progress in accessing global markets. In early 2019, we took a major step forward with the approval of the integrated propane dehydrogenation ("PDH") plant and polypropylene ("PP") upgrading facility ("PDH/PP Facility") through our 50 percent owned joint-venture entity, Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Limited Partnership ("CKPC"). This project is true to our strategy of trying to 'do more with the hydrocarbon molecules we touch' and leverages our position as the largest supplier of propane in western Canada. More recently, we were pleased to announce that we have executed a lump sum engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") contract relating to the construction of the PDH plant. With this contract, we have locked in approximately 60 percent of the cost of the PDH/PP Facility thus far, reflecting our disciplined and prudent approach to spending.
In addition to advancing our petrochemical facility, we also are very excited about our Prince Rupert Terminal. This project is important as it represents our first export facility. Demand for propane export capacity was significant and we were pleased to approve an expansion of this export terminal, increasing capacity to approximately 40 mbpd.
We are entering a new decade with significant momentum and abundant growth opportunities. In fact, some of the hardest decisions we must make are what projects are we not going to pursue. Our continued focus on being better and not just bigger, in addition to our financial guardrails and strategic investment criteria based on long-term thinking, will remain our guiding principles for future growth, ensuring we continue to create long-term sustainable value.

In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "continue", "anticipate", "schedule", "will", "expects", "estimate", "potential", "planned", "future" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements, including certain financial outlook, pertaining to, without limitation, the following: Pembina's corporate strategy; expectations about industry activities and development opportunities; expectations about future growth opportunities and demand for our service; expectations regarding new corporate developments and impact on access to markets; planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, locations, regulatory and environmental applications and approvals, expected capacity, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions on, existing pipelines, gas services facilities, fractionation facilities, terminalling, storage and hub facilities, facility and system operations and throughput levels; anticipated synergies between assets under development, assets being acquired and existing assets of the Company; the future level and sustainability of cash dividends that Pembina intends to pay its shareholders, and including the expected future cash flows and the sufficiency thereof.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; prevailing interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to lawsuits and environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities, including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates, climate change initiatives or policies or increased environmental regulation; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of acquisitions (including the Kinder Acquisition) due to the factors set out herein, integration issues or otherwise; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and cyber security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Since these non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that non-GAAP financial measures be clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, Share of Profit from Equity Accounted Investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.
To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in adjusted EBITDA.
Other issuers may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to, the most directly comparable measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) along with Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. ("PIC") of Kuwait, is pleased to announce that Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation ("CKPC") has executed a lump sum engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") contract related to the construction of the propane dehydrogenation ("PDH") facility within its integrated PDH and polypropylene ("PP") upgrading facility ("PDH/PP Facility"). With this contract, CKPC has fixed approximately 60 percent of the cost of the PDH/PP Facility thus far. In conjunction with execution of the lump sum contract, the Company also announces an update to its share of the capital cost for the PDH/PP Facility and project timing.
Following execution of the lump sum EPC contract and with cost certainty for approximately 60 percent of the project cost, Pembina has revised its proportionate share of the capital cost of the PDH/PP Facility, including the 100 percent directly-owned supporting facilities, to $2.7 billion. The increase over the prior estimate is associated with the PDH facility, which is now fixed under the lump sum EPC contract. The revised capital cost estimate will not affect Pembina's previously announced 2020 capital budget. CKPC now expects the PDH/PP Facility to be placed into commercial service in the second half of 2023.
"When faced with the proposition of trading returns for risk, Pembina has consistently chosen certainty and downside protection, particularly in new platforms or new businesses. Our relentless pursuit of a lump sum contract for the PDH facility reflects our disciplined and prudent approach to capital allocation," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Dilger added, "This project is highly strategic for Pembina and our producer customers in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. It offers a new demand source for domestically produced propane and supports ongoing development of Canada's world-class hydrocarbon resources."
CKPC has selected Heartland Canada Partners, a 50/50 partnership between Fluor Canada Ltd. ("Fluor") and Kiewit Construction Services ULC ("Kiewit") as the EPC contractor for the PDH facility. Both companies bring extensive EPC track records for safety, quality and delivery in the petrochemical space in Canada. The contractor selection process for the PP facility is ongoing.
Since initially announcing its intention to pursue the PDH/PP Facility, Pembina has been steadfast in its approach to de-risking the project, including: obtaining a 50 percent partner that is a world leader in petrochemicals; lump sum EPC contracting to mitigate capital cost risk; and securing at least 50 percent of its adjusted EBITDA from the project under fee-based arrangements. To date, Pembina has secured more than 40 percent of its adjusted EBITDA under fee-based arrangements and is in ongoing discussions with potential customers to increase the percentage above 50 percent.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the term adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of Pembina's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities and is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing the Company, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's financial reports, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and at www.pembina.com.

(c) holders of KML Series 1 Shares, for each KML Series 1 Share held, received one cumulative redeemable rate reset class A preferred share, series 23 of Pembina (PPL.PF.C) ("PPL Series 23 Shares") with substantially the same terms and conditions as the KML Series 1 Shares; and
(d) holders of KML Series 3 Shares, for each KML Series 3 Share held, received one cumulative redeemable rate reset class A preferred share, series 25 of Pembina (PPL.PF.E) ("PPL Series 25 Shares") with substantially the same terms and conditions as the KML Series 3 Shares.
Following completion of the Arrangement, Pembina is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Amalco. The Arrangement was approved by the holders of KML Restricted Voting Shares and KML Special Voting Shares, voting together as a single class, and the holders of KML Series 1 Shares and KML Series 3 Shares, voting together as a single class, at special meetings held on December 10, 2019 and by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta on December 10, 2019. Immediately before the Arrangement, Pembina did not own or control any KML Restricted Voting Shares, KML Special Voting Shares, Class B Units, KML Series 1 Shares, KML Series 3 Shares or common shares of Amalco.
Dividends on the PPL Series 23 Shares and the PPL Series 25 Shares will continue to be paid on the 15th day of February, May, August and November in each year if, as and when declared by the board of directors of Pembina. Former holders of KML Series 1 Shares receiving PPL Series 23 Shares will receive a full quarterly dividend of $0.328125 on February 15, 2020, when declared, and former holders of KML Series 3 Shares receiving PPL Series 25 Shares will receive a full quarterly dividend of $0.3250 on February 15, 2020, when declared. The KML Restricted Voting Shares, the KML Series 1 Shares and the KML Series 3 Shares will be delisted from the TSX within a few trading days following closing of the Kinder Morgan Transaction.
Pembina assumed KML's $500 million existing revolving credit facility and converted it to a non-revolving term loan (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan has an initial maturity date of August 31, 2022 and is pre-payable at the Company's option without penalty.
Concurrent with the completion of the Arrangement, the Cochin US Acquisition was completed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pembina for cash consideration of approximately $2.05 billion and was funded through Pembina's existing unsecured credit facility.
Common Share Dividend and Timing of Dividend Increase
Pembina pays cash dividends on its common shares on a monthly basis to holders of record on the 25th calendar day of each month (except for the December record date, which is December 31st), if, as and when determined by the board of directors of Pembina.
Former holders of KML Restricted Voting Shares and Class B Units receiving Pembina Common Shares that continue to be a shareholder of record on December 31, 2019 will be eligible to receive the previously declared dividend of $0.20 per Pembina Common Share, payable, subject to applicable law, on January 15, 2020.
As previously announced, Pembina's board of directors approved a $0.01 per common share increase to its monthly common share dividend rate, to $0.21 per common share, subject to closing of the Kinder Morgan Transaction. The first dividend under which the increase will take effect is expected to be declared in early January 2020, and payable on or about February 15, 2020.
2020 Guidance
Based on the Company's expectations and outlook for 2020, Pembina is anticipating annual adjusted EBITDA of $3.25 – $3.55 billion. 2020 guidance reflects the closing of the Kinder Morgan Transaction, the $440 million of new projects recently placed into service including Duvernay II, Wapiti Condensate Lateral, and NEBC Montney Infrastructure. In addition, Pembina expects to place into service an additional $1.1 billion of projects during 2020.
In 2020, the Pipelines Division will benefit from higher revenue volumes on the Peace Pipeline System from new projects, including Phase VI, NEBC Montney Infrastructure, the Wapiti Lateral, as well as increased volumes at existing locations. The Pipelines Division will also benefit in 2020 from the contribution of the Cochin Pipeline and Edmonton Terminals acquired as part of the Kinder Morgan Transaction.
The Facilities Division is expected to benefit from a full year of operations at Duvernay II and the Redwater Co-generation Facility, as well as the start-up of projects including Duvernay Sour Treatment Facilities, Prince Rupert Export Terminal and Empress Fractionation. 2020 guidance also reflects the contribution from the acquisition of Vancouver Wharves. These factors are expected to be partially offset by lower revenues at select dry gas facilities.
The outlook for the Marketing & New Ventures Division is based on an expectation of lower year-over-year crude oil marketing revenue, and narrower NGL frac spreads driven by lower NGL prices, partially offset by Pembina's hedging program. The Company has hedged approximately 50 percent of its 2020 frac spread exposure, excluding Aux Sable, with these hedges having been systematically entered into throughout 2019.
Pembina's 2020 Guidance may be directly impacted by certain commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, including the impact of Pembina's hedging program as follows:
Key Variable | Impact on Adjusted EBITDA ($ millions) |
AECO ± $0.50 CAD/GJ | ± 18 |
Propane ± $0.10 USD/usg | ± 25 |
FX ± $0.05 USD/CAD | ± 31 |
2020 Capital Expenditures
Pembina's 2020 capital program is expected to be allocated as follows:
($ millions) | 2020 Budget (1) |
Pipelines Division | $1,300 |
Facilities Division | $400 |
Marketing & New Ventures Division | $50 |
Corporate | $25 |
Contributions to Equity Accounted Investments & Advances to Related Parties | $525 |
Total Capital Expenditures, Contributions & Advances to Related Parties | $2,300 |
(1) Capital budget shown in Canadian dollars based on a forecasted average U.S. foreign exchange rate of 0.76. |
Pembina's Pipelines Division capital expenditures will be primarily focused on advancing the development of the Peace Pipeline System including the Phase VI, VII, VIII and IX expansions.
Investment in the Facilities Division will be focused on the Duvernay III, Prince Rupert Terminal, Prince Rupert Terminal Expansion, Empress Fractionation, and Empress Co-generation projects.
The Marketing and New Ventures Division spending will be focused on ongoing regulatory and permitting requirements related to Jordan Cove and advancing Pembina's remaining portfolio of unsecured development opportunities.
Contributions to Equity Accounted Investments & Advances to Related Parties relate to funding previously announced projects within our joint venture entities, the majority of which relate to the integrated propane dehydrogenation ("PDH") plant and polypropylene ("PP") upgrading facility ("PDH/PP Facility").
"One of our highest priorities is prudent and disciplined capital allocation. We invest in strong franchises, with significant contractual underpinning and good counterparties – all ingredients to delivering consistent, industry leading returns. Further, we continue to execute Pembina's strategy within our financial guardrails," stated Scott Burrows, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "It takes commitment and discipline, but Pembina and its stakeholders have been rewarded and we intend to maintain our approach moving forward," noted Mr. Burrows.
Business Update
Pembina continues to be squarely focused on delivering transportation and midstream services that enable our customers to reach the best possible markets for their products at a competitive cost, thus enhancing their netbacks. Collectively, the following developments support the ongoing build-out of our integrated value chain and highlight Pembina's unique capability to quickly and cost-effectively add up to 300,000 barrels per day ("bpd") of incremental Peace Pipeline System capacity:
Pembina's liquids pipelines are now connected to all major export facilities and world-scale storage facilities in Alberta, including the 10 million barrels of storage acquired from Kinder Morgan. Further, through the acquisition of the Cochin Pipeline, Pembina has strengthened its capabilities and connectivity within its condensate business. In addition, Pembina's NGL pipeline systems are connected upstream to major Pembina and third-party gas processing facilities and downstream to all major NGL fractionation and storage facilities in the Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta area. This connectivity provides our customers with unparalleled flexibility in reaching their desired markets.
Renewal of Peace Pipeline System Phase I & II Contracts and Additional Firm Service Contracts
Pembina continues to progress the renewal of the legacy Peace Pipeline Phase I and II contracts, a portion of which were previously extended as part of the Phase III expansion. Pembina is engaged in ongoing discussions with customers and is highly confident that the majority of the remaining contracts nearing maturity will be renewed, or their firm capacity resold, given the tolls are substantially lower than current posted tolls. This will allow us to maintain Pembina's current earnings profile while providing exceptional value, flexibility and reliability for customers not available elsewhere.
Producer demand for Pembina's transportation services across the liquids-rich areas of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB") continues to grow. Since May 2019, Pembina has continued to secure firm service commitments on the Peace Pipeline System while extending many in the process. This continues Pembina's recent track record of systematically growing and extending the contracted revenue profile of these pipelines in response to customer demand and in lock step with our announced expansions. Firm volume commitments now will reach approximately 1.1 million bpd in 2022.
Peace Pipeline System Expansions, Optimization and Capacity Potential
Once the first stage of Phase IX is complete, Pembina will have 1.1 million bpd of market delivery capacity into Edmonton, Alberta across the Peace and Northern systems and will have completed its objective of achieving segregated liquids transportation service for ethane-plus, propane-plus, crude and condensate between Gordondale, Alberta and the Edmonton, Alberta area. Full product segregation is a significant accomplishment that will drive operational and capital efficiencies, strengthen Pembina's competitive advantage and ultimately benefit our customers. There are numerous advantages associated with product segregation including, most notably, the avoidance of product batching, which increases pipeline utilization, minimizes product interface and requires less operational storage. Finally, it also supports potential capacity increases through optimization and more efficient and ultimately cost-effective lateral connectivity to the pipeline, as well as optimal flexibility in future mainline expansions.
The elimination of batching and other hydraulic optimization initiatives, which Pembina refers to as Phase X, could create up to an incremental 100,000 bpd of capacity with minimal capital spending.
In addition, Pembina continues to have the ability, through a second stage of the Phase IX expansion, to add approximately 200,000 of capacity to its pipelines from Fox Creek, Alberta to Namao, Alberta through the addition of pump stations on these mainlines. Land for these additional pump stations has been acquired and all the upstream infrastructure required to access this capacity will be in place with the completion of the Peace Phase VI-IX expansions.
Incremental Fractionation Facilities
With the increasing amount of oil and condensate resource being developed along our pipeline systems and the anticipated startup of LNG Canada's Phase I liquified natural gas project on Canada's West Coast, Pembina continues to receive customer requests for incremental fractionation services for associated natural gas liquids.
Increasingly, we are observing customer demand for incremental natural gas liquid barrels, particularly from the Montney play, to move westward for export. Given this shift in WCSB product flows, Pembina is pursuing multiple developments in parallel, both within the existing Redwater fractionation complex as well as northeast British Columbia ("NEBC"), which will facilitate this movement and actively respond to producers' evolving needs.
Pembina currently has in excess of 1,500 acres at the Company's existing Redwater fractionation complex and has secured 540 acres in NEBC where Pembina is evaluating new fractionation facilities, based on the design of the RFS II and III facilities, and associated rail infrastructure. The Peace Pipeline provides location optionality to construct required NGL fractionation facilities in multiple locations to meet customer demand for services and provide maximum diversification to premium NGL markets, such as through Pembina's Prince Rupert Export Terminal and its expansion, or through value-added upgrading to polypropylene.
Prince Rupert LPG Export Terminal Expansion
Pembina continues to advance construction of its Prince Rupert LPG Export Terminal. The project is on track to provide customers with export service beginning in the second half of 2020.
The anticipated startup of this facility has generated significant interest from our customers and offtakers, and Pembina is pleased to announce an expansion of this terminal (the "Prince Rupert Terminal Expansion"), which will increase propane export capacity to approximately 40,000 bpd. The Prince Rupert Terminal Expansion is expected to cost approximately $175 million and has an anticipated in-service date in the first half of 2023, subject to regulatory and environmental approvals. The incremental capacity from the expansion will closely match the proposed NEBC fractionation facility's propane production and the in-service dates of the respective facilities would be closely aligned.
Ethane Supply to Support Alberta's Petrochemicals Diversification Program
Pembina's existing infrastructure ideally positions the Company to be a significant supplier of ethane to support the Government of Alberta's Petrochemicals Diversification Program. This program is designed to provide government support and incentives to build facilities that may include a world-scale ethane cracker in Alberta. Through the continued expansion and hydraulic optimization of the Peace Pipeline System, expansion and optimization efforts on the Alberta Ethane Gathering System, and the current capability of the Vantage, Northern and Brazeau systems, Pembina has concluded it can provide over 100,000 bpd of incremental, highly reliable, diversified, low-cost, ethane transportation to the Edmonton, Alberta area, much of which may be sourced from existing or future Pembina facilities. This opportunity aligns with our customers' needs and the Government of Alberta's goal to provide a made-in-Alberta petrochemical solution resulting in significant investment and long-term employment for thousands of Albertans.
Other important initiatives we are pursuing include:
Alliance Pipeline Expansion
Alliance Pipeline ("Alliance") continues to pursue an expansion from the Bakken play in North Dakota to the Chicago area. Commercial discussions with customers are ongoing and Alliance believes there is an opportunity for a phased expansion of up to 400 million cubic feet per day with initial commercial support for an initial expansion of up to 100 million cubic feet per day. Due to current extensive flaring of natural gas in the Bakken, and increasingly stringent regulations in North Dakota restricting such flaring, Alliance believes it can provide a solution that will benefit customers and result in improved environmental performance.
PDH/PP Facility
Pembina continues to progress its PDH/PP Facility, which is under development through its joint venture entity, Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation ("CKPC").
CKPC continues execution of the early works activities for the PDH/PP Facility in Alberta's Industrial Heartland, adjacent to Pembina's Redwater fractionation complex, located in Sturgeon County, Alberta. CKPC has obtained all environmental and regulatory approvals to construct and operate the PDH/PP Facility. All long-lead equipment to support mechanical completion has been ordered and we are progressing as expected with multiple parties to secure lump sum engineering and construction agreements with an objective of locking down two thirds of the project cost.
Jordan Cove LNG Project
On November 15, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") released the Final Environmental Impact Statement ("FEIS") and recommended approval of the Jordan Cove LNG terminal and Pacific Gas Connector Pipeline. The FEIS is the result of FERC's comprehensive review process that began in September 2017 and includes complete and comprehensive environmental, safety and security reviews, developed with input from federal and state agencies, Tribes and many other stakeholders.
The FEIS issued by FERC represents the final step in the FERC environmental review process before an order is issued by the Commission, approving the project. Pembina looks forward to receiving our final certificate from FERC on February 13, 2020.
Engagement with the Oregon State regulatory authority continues. State permits remain a critical component of the regulatory process for Jordan Cove and are necessary to enable the commercial viability of the project and allow this investment to move forward.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the term adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), which does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Other issuers may calculate these Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, please refer to Pembina's financial reports, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, Nov. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it does not intend to exercise its right to redeem the currently outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares, Series 7 ("Series 7 Shares") (TSX: PPL.PR.G) on December 2, 2019 (the "Conversion Date").
As a result, and subject to certain terms of the Series 7 Shares, the holders of the Series 7 Shares will have the right to elect to convert all or any of their Series 7 Shares into Cumulative Redeemable Floating Rate Class A Preferred Shares, Series 8 of Pembina ("Series 8 Shares") on the basis of one Series 8 Share for each Series 7 Share on the Conversion Date.
Pursuant to the terms of the Series 7 Shares, as December 1, 2019, the conversion date for the Series 7 Shares, is not a business day, the actual conversion date will be the next succeeding business day, December 2, 2019.
With respect to any Series 7 Shares that remain outstanding after December 2, 2019, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina. The annual dividend rate for the Series 7 Shares for the five-year period from and including December 1, 2019 to, but excluding, December 1, 2024 will be 4.38%, being equal to the five-year Government of Canada bond yield of 1.44% determined as of today plus 2.94%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 7 Shares.
With respect to any Series 8 Shares that may be issued on December 2, 2019, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina. The annual dividend rate for the 3-month floating rate period from and including December 1, 2019 to, but excluding, March 1, 2020 will be 4.602%, being equal to the annual rate of interest for the most recent auction of 90-day Government of Canada treasury bills of 1.662% plus 2.94%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 8 Shares (the "Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate"). The Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate will be reset every quarter.
As provided in the terms of the Series 7 Shares: (i) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion less than 1,000,000 Series 7 Shares, all remaining Series 7 Shares will be converted automatically into Series 8 Shares on a one-for-one basis effective December 2, 2019; or (ii) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion less than 1,000,000 Series 8 Shares, holders of Series 7 Shares will not be entitled to convert their Series 7 Shares into Series 8 Shares on the Conversion Date. There are currently 10,000,000 Series 7 Shares outstanding.
The Series 7 Shares are issued in "book entry only" form and, as such, the sole registered holder of the Series 7 Shares is the Canadian Depositary for Securities Limited ("CDS"). All rights of holders of Series 7 Shares must be exercised through CDS or the CDS participant through which the Series 7 Shares are held. The deadline for the registered shareholder (CDS) to provide notice of exercise of the right to convert Series 7 Shares into Series 8 Shares is 3:00 p.m. (MT) / 5:00 p.m. (ET) on November 15, 2019. Any notices received after this deadline will not be valid. As such, holders of Series 7 Shares who wish to exercise their right to convert their Series 7 Shares into Series 8 Shares should contact their broker or other intermediary for more information and it is recommended that this be done well in advance of the deadline in order to provide the broker or other intermediary with the time to complete the necessary steps.
If Pembina does not receive an election notice from CDS during the time fixed therefor, then the Series 7 Shares shall be deemed not to have been converted (except in the case of an automatic conversion). Holders of Series 7 Shares will have an opportunity to convert their shares again on December 1, 2024, and every five years thereafter as long as the shares remain outstanding.
As previously announced, the dividend payable on December 2, 2019 to holders of the Series 7 Shares of record on November 1, 2019 will be $0.281250 per Series 7 Share, consistent with the dividend rate in effect since issuance of the Series 7 Shares. For more information on the terms of the Series 7 Shares and the Series 8 Shares, please see Pembina's prospectus supplement dated September 4, 2014 which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Exchange ratio of .3068 Pembina shares for each share of KML common equity;
Consideration represents a 38 percent premium to KML's closing price on August 20, 2019
CALGARY, Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Kinder Morgan Canada Limited (TSX: KML) today announced that it has reached an agreement with Pembina Pipeline Corporation (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) (Pembina) under which Pembina has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common equity of KML (including the 70 percent majority voting interest held by Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE: KMI)), subject to the terms of the arrangement agreement between KML and Pembina. On closing, KML shareholders will receive .3068 shares of Pembina for each KML share. Based on yesterday's closing price for Pembina, the total consideration to be received by KML common shareholders is valued at $15.12 per KML share, which represents a 38 percent premium to yesterday's KML closing price.
"KML views Pembina as a leading infrastructure services provider to the North American energy industry," said KML Board Chairman and CEO Steve Kean. "We believe KML's assets will be a great fit with Pembina's business and this transaction is highly beneficial to KML's shareholders. This transaction gives KML's public shareholders the opportunity to participate in a larger and growing platform of North American midstream energy assets."
In addition, Pembina has agreed to purchase the U.S. portion of the Cochin Pipeline from Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE: KMI) for US$1.546 billion. The closing of the two transactions are cross-conditioned upon each other.
"The KML strategic review was completed in May of this year and did not result in an acceptable transaction. About two months following the conclusion of the strategic review Pembina put forward an attractive proposal," said Kean. The KML special committee, which is composed of KML's independent directors, received a fairness opinion, finding the consideration to be fair to KML shareholders from a financial point of view. The KML special committee unanimously recommended the Pembina proposal to the KML board and the full KML board recommends that KML shareholders approve the transaction. In addition, KMI has agreed to vote its shares in favor of the transaction.
"Over the past 10 years, the KML team has built the premier Canadian merchant terminal business. I congratulate this dedicated team for their hard work and perseverance during this period of unavoidable uncertainty," added John Schlosser, KML President. "Their exceptional competence, focus and determination bodes well for the future of these vital Canadian energy infrastructure assets."
Details of the Transaction
The proposed transaction will be effected as a plan of arrangement under Section 193 of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), and its completion will be subject to a number of closing conditions, including the approval of KML shareholders and the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, as well as certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The parties expect to close the transaction late in the fourth quarter of 2019 or in the first quarter of 2020.

Financial & Operational Highlights
Divisional Highlights
Executive Overview
Next month, Pembina will mark another major milestone by celebrating 65 years as a company. When Pembina was founded in 1954 we had 31 people and a single pipeline while today we have approximately 2,300 employees and $28 billion of total assets. It has been a journey of significant growth across a wide range of commodity and economic environments. We have grown to become a leading North American transportation and midstream service provider with a strong and resilient base business and significant growth opportunities ahead.
Through the mid-point of 2019 we have performed well, delivering strong year-to-date results. Compared to the prior year, the second quarter benefited from higher utilization of existing assets and contributions from new assets including those placed into service in late 2018 and early 2019 such as the Phase IV and V Peace Pipeline Expansions, the Redwater Co-generation Plant and the Burstall Ethane Storage Facility. In the marketing business, lower year-over-year prices for butane and propane were offset by higher NGL volumes, the positive impact of lower natural gas prices on frac spreads and the fact that Pembina has hedged approximately 25 percent of its frac spread business, excluding Aux Sable. As well, the crude oil marketing business continues to deliver steady results. Overall, the integrated and diversified nature of Pembina's business continues to be a strength.
Based on our year-to-date results and our outlook for the balance of the year, we remain on track to meet our adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $2,850 to $3,050 million.
Pembina continues to experience strong customer demand for incremental services and recently executed agreements for term extension and increased volume obligations at Pembina's Saturn deep-cut processing facility. These agreements include gas processing, NGL transportation and fractionation and marketing services. We see this development as further evidence that customers value our complete service offering and ability to respond quickly and cost-effectively to meet their needs. Our teams continue to see a steady flow of new business development opportunities and we are confident that Pembina is best positioned to meet customer demand for integrated services and higher realized prices for their products.
Projects and New Developments
The Pipelines and Facilities Divisions are constructing $3.0 billion of capital projects, which in aggregate are trending on budget.

The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; prevailing interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to lawsuits and environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates, climate change initiatives or policies or increased environmental regulation; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of acquisitions due to the factors set out herein, integration issues or otherwise; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and cyber security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the 2019 adjusted EBITDA projection is to provide investors with an indication of the value to Pembina of capital projects that have been and are expected to be brought into service in 2019. Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA per common share, cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, share of profit from equity accounted investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.
To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with Non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in Adjusted EBITDA.
Other issuers may calculate these Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended June 30, 2019, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or "the Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) and Breakfast Club of Canada (the "Club") are proud to announce a $5 million partnership to support breakfast programs across Canada over the next five years. This is Pembina's largest charitable investment ever and solidifies Pembina as one of the Club's largest supporters.
Pembina and the Club believe that all kids should be given the opportunity to reach their full potential, and that a good day starts with a good breakfast. However, an astounding 1 in 5 Canadian children might not get that chance. In 2016, both organizations teamed up to help change this statistic with the launch of Pembina's signature giving and volunteering program, Fuel 4 Thought, which provides funding for breakfast programs in schools near Pembina's operations.
To build on this success and make sure even more kids can start their day with a full stomach, Pembina's increased investment will help Fuel 4 Thought grow bigger and better than ever.
Jaret Sprott, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Facilities, is the Executive Sponsor of Fuel 4 Thought and a volunteer with the program. "It goes beyond making sure that kids get enough to eat, which is absolutely essential," he explains. "Through our partnership with Breakfast Club of Canada, we're also able to help move the needle on a major social issue that impacts everything from education to wellness, and I'm very proud that Pembina continues to step up to the plate and deliver on our commitment to communities."
"A child's potential is limitless when they have food to fuel their brains," says Daniel Germain, Founder of Breakfast Club of Canada. "We must believe in them now, so they can build their future and this donation by Pembina will help pave the way for the next generation. We are honored and grateful to have their trust in providing a healthy breakfast to children across the country."
Pembina's commitment will help sustain the Club's existing programs and support the opening of new ones. When a breakfast program is implemented, school administration observes tremendous change in the culture of their school.
"Students now come and start the day by being able to have breakfast at the school," explains Kari Prichard, Executive Director of the Grande Prairie Catholic School District Education Foundation. "They can continue throughout their day without having to fight through hunger. This has improved their moods, which allows for an improvement in their social behaviors, focus and academic success. This is a success that should be largely attributed to the program and its supporters."
Since beginning the partnership in 2016, Pembina's contribution to Breakfast Club of Canada has reached a grand total of $6.5 million. To learn more about Fuel 4 Thought and see the program in action, visit Pembina.com/communityinvestment/.

Financial & Operational Highlights
Divisional Highlights
Executive Overview
In the first quarter of 2019, Pembina has once again delivered strong financial and operational results, including record quarterly results for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted cash flow from operating activities, while continuing to announce new major projects supporting ongoing growth of our business.
Quarterly results were driven by strong year-over-year increases in operating results in the Pipelines and Facilities divisions as a result of new assets placed into service and higher utilization of existing assets, as well as higher NGL sales volumes and a realized gain on commodity related derivatives in the marketing business.
The most notable achievement during the quarter was our announcement that Pembina along with Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. of Kuwait ("PIC"), reached a positive final investment decision to construct a 550,000 tonne per annum integrated propane dehydrogenation ("PDH") plant and polypropylene ("PP") upgrading facility ("PDH/PP Facility") through their equally-owned joint venture entity, Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation. The announcement was the culmination of many years of hard work with PIC to develop a project that is well positioned to capitalize on Alberta's abundant supply of propane and undertake value-added processing that benefits all of Pembina's stakeholders, the Province of Alberta and indeed all of Canada. Sanctioning of the PDH/PP Facility is the largest step taken to date by Pembina in executing its strategy to secure global market prices for customers' hydrocarbons produced in western Canada and provides another exciting platform for future growth.
We also were pleased to announce another expansion of the Peace Pipeline system, Phase VIII, which will accommodate incremental customer demand in the Montney area by debottlenecking constraints, accessing downstream capacity and further enhancing product segregation on the system. Phase VIII is yet another example of the advantages that our strategic footprint provides, namely the opportunity to complete staged expansions that deliver timely and reliable transportation service solutions for our customers.
With the approval of our PDH/PP Facility and Phase VIII we currently have $5.5 billion of secured projects that will diversify and strengthen our business, extend our value chain and ultimately enhance our service offering.
With the continued strength in the business, we are pleased once again to announce today a five percent dividend increase. This is the eighth consecutive year of increasing the dividend and we are extremely proud of the value we have been able to return to shareholders, reinforcing our commitment to provide our investors with sustainable cash flow and dividend per share growth.

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of applicable securities legislation, that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "continue", "anticipate", "schedule", "will", "expects", "estimate", "potential", "planned", "future" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements, including certain financial outlook, pertaining to, without limitation, the following: Pembina's corporate strategy; expectations about industry activities and development opportunities; expectations about future growth opportunities and demand for our service; expectations regarding new corporate developments and impact on access to markets; anticipated adjusted EBITDA projections for 2019 and financial performance expectations resulting from Pembina's capital expenditures; planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, locations, regulatory and environmental applications and approvals, expected capacity, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions on existing pipelines, gas services facilities, fractionation facilities, terminalling, storage and hub facilities, facility and system operations and throughput levels; expectations regarding the involvement of partners on the Jordan Cove project; dilution of Pembina's ownership in certain joint ventures; anticipated synergies between assets under development, assets being acquired and existing assets of the Company; the future level and sustainability of cash dividends that Pembina intends to pay its shareholders, including the expected future cash flows and the sufficiency thereof.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; prevailing interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to lawsuits and environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates, climate change initiatives or policies or increased environmental regulation; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of acquisitions due to the factors set out herein, integration issues or otherwise; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and cyber security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the 2019 Adjusted EBITDA projection is to provide investors with an indication of the value to Pembina of capital projects that have been and will be brought into service in 2019. Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA per common share, cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, share of profit from equity accounted investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.
To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with Non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in Adjusted EBITDA.
Other issuers may calculate these Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2019, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

With respect to any Series 5 Shares that remain outstanding after the Conversion Date, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina. The annual dividend rate for the Series 5 Shares for the five-year period from and including June 1, 2019 to, but excluding, June 1, 2024 will be 4.573%, being equal to the five-year Government of Canada bond yield of 1.573% determined as of today plus 3.00%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 5 Shares.
With respect to any Series 6 Shares that may be issued on the Conversion Date, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina.

CALGARY, March 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it does not intend to exercise its right to redeem the currently outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares, Series 17 ("Series 17 Shares") (TSX: PPL.PR.Q) on March 31, 2019 (the "Conversion Date").
As a result, and subject to certain terms of the Series 17 Shares, the holders of the Series 17 Shares will have the right to elect to convert all or any of their Series 17 Shares into Cumulative Redeemable Floating Rate Class A Preferred Shares, Series 18 of Pembina ("Series 18 Shares") on the basis of one Series 18 Share for each Series 17 Share on the Conversion Date.
With respect to any Series 17 Shares that remain outstanding after March 31, 2019, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina. The annual dividend rate for the Series 17 Shares for the five-year period from and including March 31, 2019 to, but excluding, March 31, 2024 will be 4.821%, being equal to the five-year Government of Canada bond yield of 1.811% determined as of today plus 3.01%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 17 Shares.
With respect to any Series 18 Shares that may be issued on March 31, 2019, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina. The annual dividend rate for the 3-month floating rate period from and including March 31, 2019 to, but excluding, June 30, 2019 will be 4.692%, being equal to the annual rate of interest for the most recent auction of 90-day Government of Canada treasury bills of 1.682% plus 3.01%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 18 Shares (the "Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate"). The Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate will be reset every quarter.
As provided in the terms of the Series 17 Shares: (i) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion less than 1,000,000 Series 17 Shares, all remaining Series 17 Shares will be converted automatically into Series 18 Shares on a one-for-one basis effective March 31, 2019; or (ii) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion less than 1,000,000 Series 18 Shares, holders of Series 17 Shares will not be entitled to convert their Series 17 Shares into Series 18 Shares on the Conversion Date. There are currently 6,000,000 Series 17 Shares outstanding.
The Series 17 Shares are issued in "book entry only" form and, as such, the sole registered holder of the Series 17 Shares is the Canadian Depositary for Securities Limited ("CDS"). All rights of holders of Series 17 Shares must be exercised through CDS or the CDS participant through which the Series 17 Shares are held. Pursuant to the terms of the Series 17 Shares, CDS may provide notice of exercise of the right to convert Series 17 Shares into Series 18 Shares not earlier than the 30th day prior to, but not later than 3:00 (MST) / 5:00 pm (EST) on the 15th day preceding, the Series 17 conversion date, which is March 31, 2019. As the 15th day prior to the conversion date for Series 17 Shares is March 16, 2019, which is not a business day, the deadline for CDS to provide notice of exercise of the right to convert Series 17 Shares into Series 18 Shares is 3:00 p.m. (MST) / 5:00 p.m. (EST) on March 15, 2019. Any notices received after this deadline will not be valid. As such, holders of Series 17 Shares who wish to exercise their right to convert their Series 17 Shares into Series 18 Shares should contact their broker or other intermediary for more information and it is recommended that this be done well in advance of the deadline in order to provide the broker or other intermediary with the time to complete the necessary steps.

Financial Highlights
Pembina delivered strong 2018 financial and operational results leading to record full year earnings and Adjusted EBITDA. These results were largely driven by the full-year contribution from assets included in the acquisition of Veresen Inc. ("Veresen") in October 2017 ("Veresen Acquisition") and assets placed into service following a large-scale capital program, driving growing revenue volumes. Highlights for the fourth quarter and full year 2018 include:
Operational Highlights
Executive Overview
2018 was truly remarkable for Pembina. We strengthened our financial and operational performance, driven by our diverse and strategically-located assets, strong customer contracts, and the dedication and creativity of our customers and employees. Over this past year, we continued to secure new business, pursued growth projects, operated safely and reliably and further enhanced our already strong relationships with the communities where we live, work and play.
In 2018, we announced the next evolution in Pembina's corporate strategy - the move towards accessing global markets. Pembina is committed to identifying additional opportunities to connect hydrocarbon production to new demand locations through the development of infrastructure that would extend our service offering further along the hydrocarbon value chain. These new developments will contribute to ensuring that hydrocarbons produced in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and the other basins where Pembina operates can reach the highest value markets throughout the world. Our recently approved PDH/PP Facility, the Prince Rupert LPG Export Terminal, currently under construction, and our proposed Jordan Cove LNG project are examples of such developments.
The most notable financial achievement over the past year was exceeding the high end of our original 2018 guidance range with Adjusted EBITDA of $2,835 million, seven percent higher than the mid-point of the original range. Contributing to this record-breaking Adjusted EBITDA was the full-year contribution from the greater than $10 billion increase in assets from the Veresen Acquisition and new assets placed into service following the execution of our large-scale capital program completed in 2017.
The Veresen Acquisition was transformational for Pembina and we are pleased with how well the integration of staff and systems went. Bringing together two large and different organizations comes with a wide range of risks and yet, through the diligent management of our integration team, we are realizing the strategic and financial benefits of the combination.
Along with record Adjusted EBITDA, our 2018 adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share of $4.27 also was an all-time high. Notably, when comparing where we are now, to where we were ten years ago, we have grown volumes by 180 percent, cash flow per share by 171 percent, and the dividend by 50 percent. Over the same 10-year period, shareholders have realized a total return of about 380 percent, or 17 percent per year, assuming reinvestment of their dividends.
Our steady and growing dividend is one of the strongest ways we demonstrate our ongoing commitment to shareholders. We have always worked hard to ensure our ability to pay a competitive dividend and the 5.6 percent dividend increase in 2018 represents our seventh consecutive annual increase. Since our inception, Pembina has returned over $6.9 billion to our shareholders and the dividend has never been reduced. Ensuring Pembina continues to deliver a sustainable and growing dividend to shareholders remains a top priority.
Continuing our dividend track record while growing the business requires a strong commitment to prudent financial management, something that has always been fundamental to Pembina. As the Company has grown we have also improved the risk profile of the business and strengthened our financial guardrails. We have increased the percentage of our Adjusted EBITDA that comes from fee-based business and our dividend is fully supported by these fee-based cash flows, meaning Pembina is not reliant on the commodity exposed part of our business to fund the dividend. In addition, Pembina has a very strong balance sheet, low payout ratio and expects to fund our near-term capital program without the need for external equity.
In 2018, we placed approximately $900 million of projects into service, including the Phase IV and V expansions of the Peace Pipeline system, Veresen Midstream's North Central Liquids Hub and Saturn II gas plant, cavern developments as well as several other value-added capital projects. We also secured over $1.8 billion of new capital projects including the Phase VI and VII Peace Pipeline expansions, Hythe Developments and Duvernay III. Consistent with Pembina's guardrails, these projects are underpinned by long-term fee-based contracts that will generate incremental secure and predictable cash flow to support the stability and growth of the dividend. With new projects placed into service in 2018, we announced an Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $2.8 to $3.0 billion and a $1.6 billion capital program for 2019.
We are entering the new year with positive momentum and already in 2019 Pembina has secured the $500 million Phase VIII Peace Pipeline expansion and through our joint venture, Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation, approved development of a $4.5 billion ($2.5 billion net to Pembina) integrated PDH/PP Facility. The prospects for future growth, both within the base business and further extensions of our value chain, remain robust. We are as rich in growth opportunities as we have ever been, which is a testament to both the resiliency and creativity of our customers and the underlying attractiveness of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
We look forward to the year ahead and are optimistic, confident and excited to continue 'Building Something Extraordinary'.

The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; prevailing interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to lawsuits and environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates, climate change initiatives or policies or increased environmental regulation; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of acquisitions due to the factors set out herein, integration issues or otherwise; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and cyber security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release.

Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA per common share, cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, share of profit from equity accounted investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.
To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with Non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and other reconciling line items to IFRS. A reconciliation of operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA to share of profit from equity accounted investees can be found under the heading "Proportionately Consolidated Results by Investments in Equity Accounted Investees" in the MD&A.
Other issuers may calculate these Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended December 31, 2018, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, Feb. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) along with Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. ("PIC") of Kuwait, is pleased to announce a positive final investment decision to construct a 550,000 tonne per annum integrated propane dehydrogenation ("PDH") plant and polypropylene ("PP") upgrading facility ("PDH/PP Facility") through their equally-owned joint venture entity, Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation ("CKPC").
CKPC brings together two strategically aligned organizations, with complimentary strengths, united in developing and operating a world-scale Alberta PDH/PP Facility. PIC brings comprehensive PDH and PP project experience, along with diversified global petrochemical marketing expertise. Pembina will manage long-term propane supply and provide Alberta-specific operating and project execution experience, feedstock connectivity and strong producer relationships.
The PDH/PP Facility will be strategically located in Alberta's Industrial Heartland, adjacent to Pembina's Redwater fractionation complex ("RFS") and will consume approximately 23,000 barrels per day of local propane from RFS and other regional fractionation facilities. Ideally located in the Western Canadian Sedimenatry Basin, the facility will have long-term access to an abundant supply of propane feedstock, with a structural cost advantage when compared to other North American facilities.
The PDH/PP Facility has a nameplate capacity of 550,000 metric tonnes of PP per year, including impact and random copolymers. PP is a high value polymer, which can be cost-effectively transported, using existing third-party infrastructure, throughout North America and to global markets. PP is fully recyclable and can be used in a wide range of finished products including automobiles, medical devices, food packaging and home electronic appliances, among others. The market for PP continues to see favorable long-term fundamentals with global PP demand growth outpacing global economic growth. PIC, with its extensive global marketing experience and worldwide sales presence, will be fundamental to ensuring CKPC becomes a PP supplier of choice for customers.
CKPC has a detailed Class II level capital cost estimate of $4.5 billion (gross), including interest during construction. Included in this estimate is $4 billion (gross) for the PDH and PP plants and $0.5 billion for certain supporting facilities. Pembina's net investment of $2.5 billion represents a 50 percent interest in CKPC, which will own the PDH and PP plants, and a 100 percent directly-owned interest in the supporting facilities under an agreement between Pembina and CKPC whereby Pembina will own the facilities and provide services under a long-term, take-or-pay arrangement.
Pembina has secured in excess of 40 percent of its expected Adjusted EBITDA from this project through a portfolio of long-term, primarily take-or-pay, fee-for-service and other similar commercial arrangements with third parties, having a weighted average tenor of approximately 14 years, with the majority of counterparties being investment grade. The arrangements entered into to date support development of this project firmly within Pembina's publicly stated guardrails. Further, based on ongoing negotiations currently underway, Pembina is confident in achieving its stated goal of achieving a minimum of 50 percent fee-for-service contribution to Adjusted EBITDA.
The PDH/PP Facility is expected to be in-service in mid-2023, subject to environmental and regulatory approvals, and is expected to generate annual run-rate Adjusted EBITDA of $275 to $350 million, net to Pembina.
CKPC is pursuing asset-level debt financing for 50 percent of the jointly-owned facilities, with the remaining 50 percent to be financed through equity contributions from both partners. Pembina intends to finance the supporting facilities consistent with its long-term financing strategy of equal amounts of debt and equity. Pembina continues to anticipate equity contributions will be funded with cash flow after dividends.
In addition, CKPC has been awarded $300 million of royalty credits from the Alberta government, of which CKPC has, to date, entered into agreements with Alberta hydrocarbon producers to monetize more than 80 percent over the first several years of operation of the PDH/PP Facility.
"Sanctioning of the PDH/PP Facility is the largest step taken to date by Pembina in executing its strategy to secure global market prices for customers' hydrocarbons produced in western Canada, and provides another exciting platform for future growth," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Dilger added, "Today's announcement is the culmination of many years of hard work with our partner to develop a project that is well positioned to capitalize on Alberta's abundant supply of propane and undertake value-added processing that benefits all of Pembina's stakeholders, the Province of Alberta and indeed all of Canada. It has been a pleasure to work with PIC and our strong partnership has helped mitigate the risks of entry into this new market segment."
"The PDH/PP Facility is ideally aligned with PIC's continued pursuit of sustainable and globally-diversified growth," said Mohammed Abdullatif Al-Farhoud, PIC's Chief Executive Officer. "Our investment in CKPC provides PIC an opportunity to build on our existing asset base in Alberta by developing large-scale petrochemical infrastructure with a highly strategic partner in a market with long-term feedstock security and a supportive local government," added Mr. Al-Farhoud.
Further information on the PDH/PP Facility is included in a detailed slide presentation available on Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the term adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of Pembina's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities and is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing the Company, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods.

CALGARY, Jan. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it has approved an additional expansion of its Peace Pipeline system ("Phase VIII"), which will accommodate incremental customer demand in the Montney area by debottlenecking constraints, accessing downstream capacity, and further enhancing product segregation on the system. Phase VIII has an estimated capital cost of approximately $500 million and is supported by 10-year contracts with significant take-or-pay provisions. Phase VIII is anticipated to be placed into service in stages starting in 2020 through the first half of 2022, subject to regulatory and environmental approvals.
"Our strategic footprint continues to provide opportunities to complete staged expansions, enabling us to deliver timely and reliable transportation service solutions for our customers," stated Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our customers continue to recognize the favorable economics in the Deep Basin and Montney areas and like us are pursuing development with a long-term outlook. Further, they appreciate the new markets we are developing such as the Prince Rupert Export Terminal and the proposed PDH/PP facility," added Mr. Dilger.
Phase VIII will include new 10 and 16-inch pipelines in the Gordondale to La Glace corridor of Alberta, as well as six new pump stations or terminal upgrades located between Gordondale and Fox Creek, Alberta. Phase VIII will enable segregated pipeline service for ethane-plus and propane-plus NGL mix from the central Montney area at Gordondale, Alberta, into the Edmonton area for market delivery. It is expected that the majority of the $500 million capital spending will occur in 2020 and 2021.
The Phase VIII expansion advances Pembina's ultimate vision of having segregated liquids transportation service for ethane-plus, propane-plus, crude and condensate across at least four pipelines between Gordondale, Alberta and the Edmonton area; as well as achieving Pembina's fully powered-up market delivery capacity of 1.3 million barrels per day across the Peace and Northern Pipelines, which could be fully realized with a Phase IX expansion, currently being engineered.
"The Phase VIII expansion is an exciting development as we are nearing our ultimate goal of achieving full product segregation along the entire Peace Pipeline system," said Jason Wiun, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Pipelines. "When combined with the Phase VII expansion, we have signed approximately 160,000 barrels per day of incremental firm contracts. Through our various staged expansions, Pembina continues to respond to new service requests from producers in a reliable, timely and cost-effective manner," concluded Mr. Wiun.

This news release refers to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which is a financial measure that is not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). For more information about Adjusted EBITDA, see "Non-GAAP Measures" herein.)
CALGARY, Dec. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) is pleased to announce a capital program of $1.6 billion and an Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $2.8 to $3.0 billion for 2019.
"We are pleased to announce our capital program for 2019 and look forward to another year of significant growth in our underlying business and further development of our value chain extension projects. Pembina's 2019 capital program will advance a significant portfolio of secured growth projects while executing the Company's strategy to secure global markets for Western Canadian produced hydrocarbons," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Throughout 2017 and 2018, a total of $5.5 billion of new projects will have been placed into service. For 2019, we are excited to continue building on the strong track record of growth that we have demonstrated in recent years," added Mr. Dilger.
2019 Capital Expenditures
Pembina's capital program is expected to be allocated as follows:
($ millions) | 2019 Budget (1) |
Pipelines Division | $900 |
Facilities Division | $425 |
Marketing & New Ventures Division | $105 |
Corporate | $50 |
Joint Venture Working Interest Capital | $205 |
Total Capital Expenditures | $1,685 |
Less: Joint Venture Working Interest Capital | ($205) |
Add: Equity Contributions to Joint Venture Partnerships & Advances to Related Parties | $160 |
Total Capital Expenditures, Equity Contributions & Advances to Related Parties | $1,640 |
(1) | Capital budget shown in Canadian dollars based on an forecasted average U.S. foreign exchange rate of 0.76. |
Pipelines Division
Pembina plans to invest $900 million, or 53 percent, of its 2019 capital budget in its Pipelines Division.
The 2019 capital budget for the Pipelines Division includes spending associated with the Phase VI and Phase VII expansions of the Peace Pipeline System, both of which are currently underway and anticipated to be in-service in the second half of 2019 and the first half of 2021, respectively.
The capital budget for the Pipelines Division also includes funds directed to completion of the NEBC Montney Infrastructure and the Wapiti Condensate Lateral both of which are expected to be in-service in the second half of 2019.
Additional capital will be spent relating to previously known and anticipated final cleanup costs along the Peace Pipeline right-of-way, as well as communication and SCADA infrastructure upgrades.
Facilities Division
Pembina expects to invest $425 million, or 25 percent, of its 2019 capital budget in its Facilities Division.
The Company plans to spend $210 million on the development of Duvernay II & III which includes gas processing, condensate stabilization and related infrastructure under the previously announced 20-year infrastructure development and service agreement with Chevron Canada Limited. Duvernay II & III are expected to be in-service in mid- to late 2019 and mid- to late 2020, respectively.
Additional spending will be directed towards progressing the Prince Rupert LPG Export Terminal, the Empress Expansion and the recently announced Hythe Developments project.
Marketing & New Ventures Division
Pembina expects to invest $105 million, or 6 percent, of its 2019 capital budget within the Marketing & New Ventures Division.
The Company plans to spend $100 million towards progressing its proposed Jordan Cove liquified natural gas ("LNG") project ("Jordan Cove"). This budget represents a prudent approach that allows Pembina to focus on several priority areas: securing binding agreements for the long-term sale of natural gas liquification capacity at the LNG terminal; advancing pipeline engineering; acquiring right-of-way; and obtaining the regulatory and environmental permits for both the terminal and the associated Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline.
The Company has received a Notice of Schedule that indicates FERC will provide a decision no later than November 2019. Pembina continues to anticipate first gas in 2024, pending the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals, a positive final investment decision and other requirements. Pembina also continues to work with various state and other agencies with an objective to progress the project on a similar time line.
In addition, the Company has executed non-binding off-take agreements, which include the substantive commercial terms for a total of 11 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa") which exceeds the planned design capacity of 7.5 Mtpa. These non-binding agreements include 20-year, 100 percent take-or-pay tolling commitments with investment grade counterparties. The Company is working diligently to conclude binding off-take agreements in the first quarter of 2019, including the nominated capacity of Rockies basin producers.
Consistent with previous disclosures, and given the size of this project, the Company intends to seek partners for both the pipeline and liquification facility thereby reducing its 100 percent ownership interest to a net ownership interest of between 40 and 60 percent. This process to find partners is expected to commence upon securing binding off-take agreements, with a completion objective in the third quarter of 2019 and is intended to reduce the capital, operating, and other project risks.
The 2019 capital budget for this division also includes additional spending to advance Pembina's remaining portfolio of unsecured development opportunities.
Corporate
Pembina expects to invest $50 million, or 3 percent, of its 2019 capital budget within its Corporate segment. This spending is primarily targeted at meeting the organizational needs of Pembina's ongoing growth including field and head office facilities, as well as improving information technology and security initiatives.
Joint Venture Working Interest Capital
Pembina's 2019 capital budget includes $205 million (net to Pembina), or 12 percent, to be invested in projects within the Company's joint venture partnerships including primarily Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership ("Veresen Midstream") and Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation ("CKPC"). Of the $205 million of expected capital, Pembina plans to make equity contributions to the joint ventures and advances to related parties totaling $160 million, with the remaining capital to be funded within the joint venture entities.
Pembina plans to spend $110 million in 2019 to further advance development of CKPC's integrated propane dehydrogenation ("PDH") plant and polypropylene ("PP") upgrading facility ("PDH/PP Facility"), including progressing engineering to secure lump sum construction contracts on both the PDH and PP plants. Pembina is committed to developing this project within its financial guardrails and continues to engage in commercial discussions to secure approximately 50 percent of Pembina's expected cash flows from the PDH/PP Facility on a long-term, fixed-return basis. While progress has been made, Pembina has not yet reached the contractual threshold required to make a final investment decision. Pembina continues to work with an objective to achieve the required threshold to make a positive final investment decision by early 2019.
2019 Guidance
Pembina is currently in the process of commissioning over $750 million of new projects, including the Phase IV and Phase V Peace Pipeline expansions, the Burstall Storage facility and the Redwater cogeneration facility, which will come into service in the next several weeks. Based on contributions from these projects and Pembina's expectations and outlook for 2019, the Company is anticipating annual Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 to $3.0 billion.
The Pipelines Division will benefit from increased revenue volumes across the Peace Pipeline system following the completion of the Phase IV and Phase V expansions. Additional contributions are expected from the Alberta Ethane Gathering System based on the re-contracting of approximately 95 percent of the existing capacity, effective January 1, 2019.
The Facilities Division is expected to benefit from a full year of run-rate operations at Veresen Midstream's Dawson facilities as well as the Burstall Storage facility and the start-up of Duvernay II.
The outlook for the Marketing & New Ventures Division is based on an expectation of narrower NGL frac spreads driven by lower NGL prices compared to 2018. Pembina has currently hedged approximately 10 percent of its 2019 frac spread exposure, excluding Aux Sable.
Pembina's 2019 Guidance may be directly impacted by certain commodity prices and foreign exchange rates as follows:
Key Variable | Impact on Adjusted EBITDA ($ millions) | |
AECO ± $0.50 CAD/GJ | ± 30 | |
Propane ± $0.10 USD/usg | ± 40 | |
FX ± $0.05 USD/CAD | ± 40 |
Income Tax
In 2019, Pembina will continue to benefit from the availability of tax pools from assets recently placed into service. Current income tax expense in 2019 is anticipated to be $180 to $210 million, an increase over 2018 reflecting primarily higher earnings and the accelerated utilization in 2017 and 2018 of the tax pools obtained from the acquisition of Veresen Inc.

These forward-looking statements are being made by Pembina based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release, regarding, among other things: those specifically noted in this news release, the ability of Pembina to successfully negotiate and complete final commercial agreements; that counterparties to material agreements will continue to perform in a timely manner; that Pembina's joint venture partners will continue to provide support for joint venture projects; the ability of Pembina and any required third parties to effectively engage with stakeholders; oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices, margins, volumes and exchange rates; that Pembina's future results of operations will be consistent with past performance and management expectations in relation thereto; the continued availability of capital at attractive prices to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects, including but not limited to future capital expenditures relating to expansion, upgrades and maintenance shutdowns; that any third party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts; that there are no unforeseen material construction, integrity or other costs related to current growth projects or current operations; and prevailing interest and tax rates.
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information. These known and unknown risks and uncertainties, include, but are not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the ability of Pembina or its joint venture partners or customers to raise sufficient capital (or to raise sufficient capital on favourable terms) to fund future expansions and growth projects and satisfy future commitments; failure to negotiate and conclude any required commercial agreements or failure to obtain project sanctioning; increased construction costs, or construction delays, on Pembina's expansion and growth projects; labour and material shortages; non-performance of agreements in accordance with their terms; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; reliance on key industry partners, alliances and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; the continuation or completion of third-party projects; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and elsewhere; construction delays; labour and material shortages; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents including, among other things, those detailed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Pembina's management's discussion and analysis and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2017, which can be found at www.sedar.com.
The forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the above statements and speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws.

Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the term adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of Pembina's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities and is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing the Company, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods.

Financial Highlights
Pembina achieved another strong quarter with increasing volumes leading to robust earnings and Adjusted EBITDA. These results were largely driven by a $10 billion increase in assets year-over-year from the acquisition of Veresen Inc. ("Veresen") in 2017 ("Veresen Acquisition"), new assets placed into service following a large-scale capital program driving growing revenue volumes, widening NGL frac spreads and volatility across the crude oil complex. These factors contributed to:
Operational Highlights
Executive Overview
Pembina's strategy and business model continue to prove out as once again we have achieved strong financial results. Resiliency in our business comes from a combination of serving long-lived, economic hydrocarbons and ensuring strong commercial frameworks. As well, the Company is realizing the strategic benefits of our marketing business which continues to experience solid results in the current environment.
The prospects for future growth, both within the base business and further extensions of our value chain, remain robust. "We are as rich in growth opportunities as we have ever been, which is a testament to both our customers and the underlying attractiveness of the WCSB," stated Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer.
As previously announced, Pembina was pleased this quarter to update its 2018 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $2.75 to $2.85 billion, up from $2.65 to $2.75 billion. "Pembina's base business is performing extremely well. We are seeing increased throughput on our conventional pipelines and fractionators, strong results from the assets acquired previously from Veresen and higher marketing revenues due to strong NGL frac spreads and oil price volatility," said Scott Burrows, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Pembina's strategy of accessing global markets also continues to unfold. Early construction work is underway at the Company's Prince Rupert LPG Export Terminal; we received a United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") Notice of Schedule and based on that notice, we anticipate a final FERC decision on the proposed Jordan Cove LNG project ("Jordan Cove") in November of 2019; and we have made substantial progress on the proposed propane dehydrogenation plant and polypropylene upgrading facility ("PDH/PP facility"), with front end engineering design ("FEED") activities completed and a final investment decision expected by year end.
Mr. Dilger concluded, "We are operating a strong and growing base business while extending our value chain by pursuing three exciting projects to access global markets, and we are doing so within our financial guardrails. Our strong business performance has contributed to setting new operational and financial records in each quarter this year, and our future opportunities are numerous and exciting," concluded Mr. Dilger.

Changes in Reporting
Given the enhanced scale and scope of Pembina's business and considering the future needs of both the Company and the energy industry, Pembina's management structure was reorganized, effective January 1, 2018, into three Divisions: Pipelines, Facilities and Marketing & New Ventures ("Corporate Reorganization"). Accordingly, the Company's financial reporting format has changed to better align with the new structure.
Pembina also retrospectively adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15"), effective January 1, 2018. While this change is not expected to have a material impact on annual revenue recognition, it has resulted in a change in timing for quarterly revenue recognition.
For the third quarter, $37 million of take-or-pay revenue in excess of physical deliveries has been collected and deferred and revenue of $60 million related to take-or-pay deferral was recognized during the period.
For the nine months ending September 30, 2018, $107 million of take-or-pay revenue in excess of physical deliveries has been collected and deferred in addition to the $8 million that had been deferred at January 1, 2018. Revenue of $112 million related to take-or-pay deferral was recognized during the period, and the outstanding deferral as at September 30, 2018 was $3 million.
Financial results reported for all 2017 periods have been restated to reflect the Corporate Reorganization and the retrospective adoption of IFRS 15.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA per common share, cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, share of profit from equity accounted investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.
To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with Non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and other reconciling line items to IFRS. A reconciliation of operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA to share of profit from equity accounted investees can be found under the heading "Proportionately Consolidated Results by Investments in Equity Accounted Investees".

CALGARY, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL) (NYSE: PBA) is pleased to announce that it has entered (directly and through its joint venture affiliates) into long-term, take-or-pay agreements to backstop development of new pipeline and processing infrastructure totaling approximately $1.3 billion. These agreements include related service for liquids transportation on Peace Pipeline, natural gas transmission service and fractionation services at Pembina's Redwater Facility.
The agreements announced today include a significant milestone for Pembina - the first integrated deal utilizing Pembina's full value chain including natural gas gathering, processing and transmission; propane-plus and condensate transportation; and propane-plus fractionation, including assets acquired through the acquisition of Veresen Inc. in October 2017.
"These new projects demonstrate Pembina's continuing ability to leverage its existing asset footprint to respond to customers' current and future needs in a cost-effective and timely manner. This new infrastructure is indicative of the substantial portfolio of potential growth projects we have before us," stated Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "These investments are directly aligned with our goals of providing sustainable, industry leading total returns to our shareholders and reliable, value added services to our customers, and once again highlight the growth potential in the liquids-rich Montney and Duvernay plays," added Dilger.
Collectively, these new projects extend Pembina's current portfolio of secured projects from $1.9 billion to $3.1 billion. In aggregate, the $3.1 billion of secured projects are expected to generate run rate Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $300 to $450 million per year.
Peace Pipeline Expansions
Pembina continues to experience growing customer demand for transportation services to support development of the Montney resource play, particularly within the liquids-rich LaGlace to Kakwa corridor. Based on the need for additional capacity on the Company's Peace Pipeline system and having secured the necessary commitments under long-term, take-or-pay contracts, Pembina is proceeding with its next staged expansion of the Peace system ("Phase VII").
Phase VII includes a new 20-inch, approximately 220-kilometer pipeline in the LaGlace-Valleyview-Fox Creek corridor, as well as six new pump stations, between LaGlace and Edmonton, Alberta. Phase VII will add approximately 240,000 barrels per day ("bpd") of incremental capacity upstream of Fox Creek, accessing capacity available on the mainlines downstream of Fox Creek.
Phase VII is aimed at meeting transportation needs arising from the rapid growth of condensate supply in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Once the new condensate pipeline is placed into service, it will also divert condensate off of the existing LaGlace-Kakwa-Fox Creek corridor, creating additional firm capacity for Pembina's customers.
Phase VII has an estimated capital cost of approximately $950 million and is supported by long-term contracts with significant take-or-pay commitments. Phase VII is anticipated to be in service in the first half of 2021, subject to environmental and regulatory approvals.
Once Phase VII is complete, Pembina will have 1.1 million bpd of Edmonton area market delivery capacity across the Company's Peace and Northern Pipeline systems.
"The Phase VII expansion is a very exciting development as it caters directly to the growing demand for condensate transportation and is another step towards our ultimate goal of creating a pipeline system with full product segregation from Gordondale to the Edmonton area for market delivery," said Jason Wiun, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Pipelines. "We strive to be the service provider of choice for our customers who benefit greatly from the many operational efficiencies gained through product segregation, as well as Pembina's ability to leverage our existing asset base to provide reliable, timely and cost-effective solutions," concluded Mr. Wiun.
Pembina's Canadian Diluent Hub ("CDH") is capable of delivering approximately 400,000 bpd of condensate to five regional, third-party diluent pipelines and has 500,000 barrels of above ground storage. In late 2018, the Company began expanding condensate delivery capacity to two existing connections, which will increase delivery capacity at CDH by an incremental 75,000 bpd to a total of approximately 475,000 bpd. Condensate deliveries to CDH will continue to increase as volumes from the Phase VII expansion grow and Pembina will continue to develop new and expanded markets through CDH.
In addition to Phase VII, Pembina is engaged in ongoing discussions with customers and undertaking early engineering for an additional expansion of the Peace system ("Phase VIII"), which would enable segregated pipeline service for ethane-plus and propane-plus from the central Montney area at Gordondale, Alberta, into the Edmonton area for market delivery. Phase VIII would include a new 10 and 16-inch pipeline in the Gordondale to LaGlace corridor as well as a series of pump stations located between Gordondale and Fox Creek, Alberta.
Based on preliminary engineering, Phase VIII has an estimated capital cost of approximately $500 million. Sanctioning of Phase VIII remains subject to securing sufficient long-term, take-or-pay commitments and would have an in-service date in the first half of 2022, subject to environmental and regulatory approvals, as well as approval by Pembina's executive and board of directors.
Pembina's ultimate vision is to have at least four segregated product pipelines in the corridors between Gordondale, Alberta and the Edmonton area, maximizing Pembina's fully powered-up capacity of 1.3 million bpd on the Peace and Northern Pipelines, which would likely require a Phase IX expansion.
Hythe Developments
Pembina, and its 46 percent owned joint venture, Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership ("Veresen Midstream"), have executed binding agreements (the "NuVista Agreements") with NuVista Energy Limited ("NuVista"). The NuVista Agreements provide that Veresen Midstream will construct natural gas gathering and processing infrastructure in the Pipestone Montney region with Pembina also constructing various laterals connecting to the Company's Peace Pipeline system. The agreements further include liquids transportation on Peace Pipeline, natural gas transmission service and fractionation services at Pembina's Redwater facility.
The infrastructure (the "Hythe Developments") consists of several separate projects:
Versesen Midstream will provide natural gas gathering and processing for up to 100 mmcf/d (46 mmcf/d net to Pembina), under a 15-year, 80 percent take-or-pay agreement. This capacity will be provided in two equal increments, commencing in late 2020 and late 2021, respectively, with an option for NuVista to delay the timing of half of the second increment to 2022.
Veresen Midstream expects to capture additional volumes as these projects are strategically located to service other area customers and are being constructed with additional available capacity.
Collectively, the Hythe Developments have an estimated total capital cost of approximately $380 million (approximately $185 million net to Pembina) and are underpinned by long-term contracts with significant take-or-pay commitments. The Hythe Developments have an anticipated in-service date in late 2020, subject to regulatory and environmental approvals.
Additionally, the NuVista Agreements include the following provisions:
"Pembina is uniquely positioned to provide a full-service, integrated solution to our customer. Our ability to respond quickly with a near-term infrastructure plus transportation solution was a critical factor which enabled NuVista to advance their development by one year compared to other alternatives," highlighted Jaret Sprott, Senior Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, Facilities.
Duvernay III
Pembina has executed further agreements ("Services Agreements") whereby the Company will construct and operate the second tranche of infrastructure development under its previously announced 20-year infrastructure development and service agreement (the "Agreement") with Chevron Canada Limited ("Chevron"). The Agreement includes over 230,000 acres of land dedication by Chevron in the liquids-rich Kaybob region of the Duvernay resource play near Fox Creek, Alberta.
Under the Services Agreements, Pembina will be developing and constructing:
The Duvernay III Gas Plant and the related infrastructure (collectively "Duvernay III") will be located at the Company's existing Duvernay complex (the "Duvernay Complex"). Pembina expects the total capital cost to be approximately $165 million with an anticipated in-service date of mid- to late 2020, subject to regulatory and environmental approvals. As per the terms of the Service Agreements, the facilities will have a 20-year contractual life and would be back-stopped by a combination of fee-for-service and fixed-return arrangements. Additionally, the Service Agreements include natural gas liquids and condensate transportation on Pembina's Peace Pipeline system and NGL fractionation at the Company's Redwater Fractionation complex.
"We are excited to further support the growth of the world-class Duvernay resource play for Chevron. These agreements are a great example demonstrating our ability to align with our customer to deliver value-added, cost effective and integrated solutions," said Jaret Sprott. In total, the addition of Duvernay III will increase the Duvernay Complex's gross capacity to approximately 300 mmcf/d of sweet gas, shallow cut processing, 15,000 bpd of propane-plus liquids capacity and 50,000 bpd of raw inlet condensate stabilization. The Company's expectations for the Duvernay area remain unchanged, namely continued growth based on improving economics. "Our expanded Duvernay platform will allow Pembina to provide low cost, integrated solutions to our customers for many years to come," added Sprott.

CALGARY, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it does not intend to exercise its right to redeem the currently outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares, Series 1 ("Series 1 Shares") (TSX: PPL.PR.A) on December 1, 2018 (the "Conversion Date").
As a result, and subject to certain terms of the Series 1 Shares, as described in the prospectus supplement dated July 19, 2013 relating to the issuance of the Series 1 Shares, the holders of the Series 1 Shares will have the right to elect to convert all or any of their Series 1 Shares into Cumulative Redeemable Floating Rate Class A Preferred Shares, Series 2 of Pembina ("Series 2 Shares") on the basis of one Series 2 Share for each Series 1 Share on the Conversion Date.
With respect to any Series 1 Shares that remain outstanding after December 1, 2018, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina. The annual dividend rate for the Series 1 Shares for the five-year period from and including December 1, 2018 to but excluding December 1, 2023 will be 4.906%, being equal to the five-year Government of Canada bond yield of 2.436% determined as of today plus 2.47%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 1 Shares.
With respect to any Series 2 Shares that may be issued on December 1, 2018, holders thereof will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative preferential cash dividends, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Pembina. The annual dividend rate for the 3-month floating rate period from and including December 1, 2018 but excluding March 1, 2019 will be 4.204%, being equal to the annual rate of interest for the most recent auction of 90-day Government of Canada treasury bills of 1.734% plus 2.47%, in accordance with the terms of the Series 1 Shares (the "Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate"). The Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate will be reset every quarter.
As provided in the terms of the Series 1 Shares: (i) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion less than 1,000,000 Series 1 Shares, all remaining Series 1 Shares will be converted automatically into Series 2 Shares on a one-for-one basis effective December 1, 2018; or (ii) if Pembina determines that there would remain outstanding immediately following the conversion, less than 1,000,000 Series 2 Shares, holders of Series 1 Shares will not be entitled to convert their Series 1 Shares into Series 2 Shares on the Conversion Date. There are currently 10,000,000 Series 1 Shares outstanding.
The Series 1 Shares are issued in "book entry only" form and, as such, the sole registered holder of the Series 1 Shares is the Canadian Depositary for Securities Limited (CDS). All rights of holders of Series 1 Shares must be exercised through CDS or the CDS participant through which the Series 1 Shares are held. The deadline for the registered shareholder (CDS) to provide notice of exercise of the right to convert Series 1 Shares into Series 2 Shares is 3:00 p.m. (MST) / 5:00 p.m. (EST) on November 16, 2018. Any notices received after this deadline will not be valid. As such, holders of Series 1 Shares who wish to exercise their right to convert their Series 1 Shares into Series 2 Shares should contact their broker or other intermediary for more information and it is recommended that this be done well in advance of the deadline in order to provide the broker or other intermediary with the time to complete the necessary steps.
If Pembina does not receive an election notice from CDS during the time fixed therefor, then the Series 1 Shares shall be deemed not to have been converted (except in the case of an automatic conversion). Holders of Series 1 Shares and Series 2 Shares will have an opportunity to convert their shares again on December 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter as long as the shares remain outstanding.
As previously announced, the dividend payable on December 3, 2018 to shareholders of record on November 1, 2018 will be $0.265625 per Series 1 share, consistent with the dividend rate in effect since issuance on July 26, 2013.

In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements, relating to future dividends which may be declared on Pembina's common and preferred shares, the dividend payments and the tax treatment thereof.

These known and unknown risks and uncertainties, include, but are not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the ability of Pembina to raise sufficient capital (or to raise sufficient capital on favourable terms) to fund future expansions and growth projects and satisfy future commitments; failure to negotiate and conclude any required commercial agreements or failure to obtain project sanctioning; increased construction costs, or construction delays, on Pembina's expansion and growth projects; labour and material shortages; non-performance of agreements in accordance with their terms; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; reliance on key industry partners, alliances and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; the continuation or completion of third-party projects; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and elsewhere; construction delays; labour and material shortages; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents including, among other things, those detailed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Pembina's management's discussion and analysis and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2017, which can be found at www.sedar.com.

SOURCE Pembina Pipeline Corporation
CALGARY, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) is pleased to announce an increase to its 2018 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $2.75 to $2.85 billion. The Company is also pleased to announce that in conjunction with incremental volume commitments from customers on the Peace pipeline, Pembina will be developing additional pipeline and terminalling infrastructure in the Wapiti region near Grande Prairie, Alberta and in northeast B.C. The new infrastructure will have a combined aggregate capital cost of approximately $120 million and will be underpinned by long-term, take-or-pay commitments.
2018 Guidance
Pembina announced today that based on strong year-to-date results and the outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company has updated its 2018 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $2.75 to $2.85 billion, up from $2.65 to $2.75 billion. "Pembina's base business is performing well. We are seeing increased throughput on our conventional pipelines and fractionators, strong results from the assets acquired previously from Veresen and higher marketing revenues due to widening frac spreads," said Scott Burrows, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Pipelines Division Update
Pembina continues to experience strong demand for transportation services across the liquids-rich areas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Since sanctioning the Phase VI expansion ("Phase VI") earlier this year, Pembina has continued to add long-term firm service commitments on the Peace and Northern Pipeline systems. Since Phase VI was originally announced in May 2018, Pembina has secured a total of 50,000 barrels per day ("bpd") of additional firm service commitments. As a result, peak firm volume commitments will reach approximately 885,000 bpd in 2019.
"Our strategic position in the liquids-rich areas of the Alberta and BC Montney continues to provide opportunities for us to expand," stated John de la Mare, Vice President, Conventional Pipelines. "Pembina's staged approach to the expansion of the Peace pipeline provides timely and reliable transportation service to meet our customers' specific needs. As a result, we have continued to increase long-term volumes under commitment since the Phase III expansion of Peace went into service last year," added Mr. de la Mare.
Wapiti Condensate Lateral
The Wapiti Condensate Lateral represents a new 12-inch, 30 kilometre pipeline which will connect growing condensate volumes from a third-party owned facility in the Pipestone Montney region into Pembina's Peace pipeline. The project is underpinned by a 15 year take-or-pay agreement with an anchor customer and includes firm transportation service on the Peace pipeline. Installation of the 12-inch line will enable Pembina to capture additional condensate volumes, as it is strategically located to service other area customers. The Company is currently progressing negotiations with various customers for incremental volumes. The Wapiti Condensate Lateral will be constructed in tandem with Pembina's Phase VI expansion, affording considerable efficiencies and minimizing incremental land disturbance. Subject to regulatory and environmental approvals, the project is expected to be in-service in the second half of 2019, aligning with the in-service timing of Phase VI.
NEBC Montney Infrastructure
Pembina's northeast B.C. pipeline (the "NEBC Expansion") was placed into service in October 2017 and serves to connect liquids volumes from the northeast B.C. Montney for transportation into the Edmonton area via Pembina's downstream systems (namely Plateau, Pouce Coupe and Peace pipelines). The NEBC Expansion has a capacity of 75,000 bpd and operates under a long-term cost-of-service arrangement. To support additional volumes on the NEBC Expansion and ultimately Pembina's downstream pipelines, Pembina has entered into agreements with an anchor customer to construct new infrastructure (the "NEBC Montney Infrastructure") at, and in proximity to, Pembina's Birch Terminal. The new infrastructure will include an area production connection to Pembina's Birch Terminal as well as upgrades to the terminal including additional storage and pumps, along with minor site modifications.
The NEBC Montney Infrastructure is supported by long-term fee-for-service and cost-of-service arrangements. In conjunction with the NEBC Montney Infrastructure, the same customer has also entered into long-term, firm service agreements containing take-or-pay commitments, on downstream pipelines.
Peace Pipeline Expansions
The Montney infrastructure projects described above follow a series of growth projects within Pembina's conventional pipeline system, including:
Ongoing customer demand, as evidenced by new projects and new volumes, highlights the need for even further development of the Peace pipeline system.
"The utility of the Phase III expansion has allowed Pembina to systematically increase capacity quickly and efficiently as evidenced by the Phase IV, V and VI expansions. While these expansions will provide additional capacity, the Company is engaged in ongoing discussions with its customers regarding how Pembina can best support the need for more capacity through additional pipeline infrastructure. We see great potential for a near term expansion beyond these phases and it is something we are working actively towards in light of strong customer demand. Ultimately, Pembina expects to have at least four segregated product pipelines in the corridors between Gordondale, Alberta and the Edmonton area, which will significantly improve operating efficiencies and capital requirements. Pembina's staged expansion strategy is significantly less complex and time consuming than building an entirely new pipeline system," stated Mr. Wiun.

In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements, including certain financial outlooks, pertaining to, without limitation, the following: planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions in relation to Pembina's pipeline and infrastructure expansions; expectations around continuing producer activity and development; the ongoing utilization and expansions of and additions to Pembina's business and asset base, growth and growth potential; expectations regarding future demand for transportation services; anticipated future adjusted EBITDA; and expectations regarding synergies and integration of growth and development projects with Pembina's existing business and asset base.

Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the financial outlook contained herein is to give the reader an indication of the value to Pembina of planned capital projects and ongoing operations. Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the term adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), which does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP Measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP Measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These Non-GAAP Measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP Measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, Share of Profit of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment. To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with Non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in Adjusted EBITDA and other reconciling line items to IFRS. A reconciliation of operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA to Share of profit of investments in equity accounted investees can be found under the heading "Proportionately Consolidated Results by Investments in Equity Accounted Investees".

Forward-Looking Information and Statements
This news release contains certain forward-looking information and statements (collectively, "forward-looking statements") that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In this news release, such forward-looking information and statements can be identified by terminology such as "guidance", "outlook", "expects", "will", and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements, including certain financial outlooks, pertaining to, without limitation, the following: anticipated future adjusted EBITDA; expectations around continuing producer activity and development; the ongoing utilization and expansions of and additions to Pembina's business and asset base, growth and growth potential. These forward-looking statements are being made by Pembina based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release, regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices, margins, volumes and exchange rates; that Pembina's future results of operations will be consistent with past performance and management expectations in relation thereto; the continued availability of capital at attractive prices to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects, including but not limited to future capital expenditures relating to expansion, upgrades and maintenance shutdowns; that any third party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties to material agreements will continue to perform in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts; that there are no unforeseen material construction, integrity or other costs related to current growth projects or current operations; and prevailing interest and tax rates.
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information. These known and unknown risks and uncertainties, include, but are not limited to: the ability of Pembina to raise sufficient capital (or to raise sufficient capital on favourable terms) to fund future expansions and growth projects and satisfy future commitments; failure to negotiate and conclude any required commercial agreements or failure to obtain project sanctioning; increased construction costs, or construction delays, on Pembina's expansion and growth projects; labour and material shortages; non-performance of agreements in accordance with their terms; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; reliance on key industry partners, alliances and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; the continuation or completion of third-party projects; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and elsewhere; construction delays; labour and material shortages; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents including, among other things, those detailed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Pembina's management's discussion and analysis and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2017, which can be found at www.sedar.com.
The forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the above statements, and speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the financial outlook contained herein is to give the reader an indication of the value to Pembina of planned capital projects and ongoing operations. Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Non-GAAP Measures
The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Since Non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure.
In this news release, Pembina has used the term adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), which does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Readers are encouraged to refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2018, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com for Pembina's Non-GAAP definitions, quantifications and reconciliations.

Financial Highlights
Operational Highlights
Executive Overview
The first quarter of 2018 saw the continuation of the strong financial and operating results we experienced last year following the completion of a multi-year growth program and the Veresen Acquisition. 2018 will be the first full year Pembina benefits from these transformational changes to the Company.
The first quarter generated record results in revenue volumes, net revenue, adjusted cash flow from operating activities, operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA. Based on a strong start to the year, Pembina maintains its outlook for 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of $2.55 to $2.75 billion.
The previously announced open season for the Alliance Pipeline Ltd. ("Alliance") expansion and the announcement today of our Phase VI pipeline expansion are two exciting new additions to Pembina's portfolio of growth projects. This portfolio already includes our Phase IV and V Peace Pipeline expansions, a west coast propane export facility, the proposed Jordan Cove LNG Project, the proposed polypropylene production facility, Veresen Midstream's North Central Liquids Hub and the Duvernay infrastructure development. As well, we continue to evaluate a steady stream of customer-driven development opportunities to grow the business even further.
"We've seen another great start to a new year with Pembina once again setting record quarterly results," said Mr. Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Amidst a backdrop of political and economic uncertainty within Canada and abroad, Pembina remains focused on delivering exceptional financial and operational results, growing the business and building out our value-chain to provide our customers with enhanced market access."
"With the ongoing strength we are seeing in the business, we were also pleased to have announced a 5.6 percent dividend increase, which marks our seventh consecutive year of increasing the dividend," added Scott Burrows, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Finally, this quarter saw the implementation of a new organizational structure that reflects the fact that Pembina is an increasingly larger and more diverse company. Accordingly, the Company's financial reporting format has also changed to better align with the new structure. Mr. Dilger commented, "When we considered the future needs of both the Company and the energy industry, it was clear to us that this evolution would best position us for continued success."

Changes in Reporting
Given the enhanced scale and scope of Pembina's business and considering the future needs of both the Company and the energy industry, Pembina's management structure was reorganized, effective January 1, 2018, into three Divisions: Pipelines, Facilities and Marketing & New Ventures ("Corporate Reorganization"). Accordingly, the Company's financial reporting format has changed to better align with the new structure.
Pembina also adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers retrospectively, effective January 1, 2018. While this change is not currently expected to have a material impact on annual revenue recognition, it is expected to result in a change in timing for quarterly revenue recognition with lower revenue in the first and second quarters and higher revenue in the third and fourth quarters. For the quarter ending March 31, 2018, $30 million of revenue which would have been recognized in the quarter under previous accounting principles has been deferred as a result of the adoption of the new standard and $1 million was recognized in 2018 that under previous accounting policies would have been recognized in 2017.
Financial results reported for all periods commencing on or after January 1, 2017 have been restated to reflect the Corporate Reorganization and adoption of IFRS 15.

This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of applicable securities legislation, that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "continue", "anticipate", "schedule", "will", "expects", "estimate", "potential", "planned", "future" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements, including certain financial outlook, pertaining to, without limitation, the following: Pembina's corporate strategy; expectations about commodity pricing and industry activities; dividend increases, further anticipated dividend growth and access to capital; anticipated adjusted EBITDA projections for 2018 and financial performance expectations resulting from Pembina's capital expenditures; the potential future benefits and impacts of the Veresen Acquisition; planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, expected capacity, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions on existing pipelines, gas services facilities, fractionation facilities, terminalling, storage and hub facilities, facility and system operations and throughput levels; anticipated synergies between assets under development, assets being acquired and existing assets of the Company; the future level and sustainability of cash dividends that Pembina intends to pay its shareholders, including the expected future cash flows and the sufficiency thereof.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; prevailing interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to lawsuits and environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates, climate change initiatives or policies or increased environmental regulation; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of acquisitions due to the factors set out herein, integration issues or otherwise; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and cyber security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the 2018 Adjusted EBITDA projection is to provide investors with an indication of the value to Pembina of capital projects that have been and will be brought into service in 2018, and the closing of the acquisition of Veresen on 2018 full-year financial results. Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. These Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, Share of Profit of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.
To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with Non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and other reconciling line items to IFRS. A reconciliation of operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA to Share of profit of investments in equity accounted investees can be found under the heading "Proportionately Consolidated Results by Investments in Equity Accounted Investees".
Other issuers may calculate these Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2018, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

SOURCE Pembina Pipeline Corporation
CALGARY, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today a further expansion of its Peace Pipeline system ("Phase VI") to accommodate incremental volume commitments in support of growth in the Montney and Deep Basin resource plays. Pembina's Board of Directors also approved a 5.6 percent increase in its monthly common share dividend rate, from $0.18 per common share to $0.19 per common share, and declared a monthly dividend of $0.19 payable, subject to applicable law, on June 15, 2018 to shareholders of record on May 25, 2018.
Pipeline Expansion
The Company's Pipeline Division has continued to receive strong customer demand for its transportation services, which has resulted in a significant and ongoing build-out of its pipeline systems. Pembina's Phase III expansion, previously placed into service in July 2017, expanded capacity between Fox Creek and Namao, Alberta, the Company's corridor that transports crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids into the Edmonton area market. The Company is also currently progressing construction of its Phase IV expansion ("Phase IV"), which is adding capacity between Fox Creek and Namao, and its Phase V expansion, which is debottlenecking upstream of Fox Creek, and expect both projects to be placed into service in late 2018.
Following the completion of Phase IV, the Company will have approximately 1.1 million barrels per day ("mmbpd") of total capacity for delivery into the Edmonton area market. Pembina has the ability to further expand capacity to at least 1.3 mmbpd through the addition of pump stations and other upgrades between Fox Creek and Namao.
The latest expansion, Phase VI, includes: upgrades at Gordondale, Alberta; a 16-inch pipeline from LaGlace to Wapiti, Alberta and associated pump station upgrades; and a 20-inch pipeline from Kakwa to Lator, Alberta. The approximately $280 million Phase VI expansion is anticipated to be in service in early 2020, subject to environmental and regulatory approval.
"It is exciting to announce another expansion of our Peace Pipeline," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "As producers continue to develop the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, our assets are strategically located and readily expandable to provide a fully integrated service offering to support our customers' future needs."
Pembina is continuing to secure long-term contracts on its Peace and Northern Pipeline systems and currently expects peak firm volume commitments will reach approximately 830,000 barrels per day in 2019.
Dividend
The 5.6 percent increase to the common share dividend rate, from $0.18 per common share to $0.19 per common share, marks the seventh consecutive year Pembina has increased its dividend.
"We are very pleased to increase our dividend following the large suite of growth projects that we placed into service throughout 2017, and which are now generating significant, incremental fee-based cash flows," continued Mr. Dilger. "We are now funding our dividend entirely by fee-based cash flow – providing dividend sustainability over the long-term. Further, we remain positioned to fund our 2018 capital program with a combination of debt and internal cash flow."
This dividend is designated an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes. For non-resident shareholders, Pembina's common share dividends should be considered "qualified dividends" and may be subject to Canadian withholding tax.
For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S. funds, the May 2018 cash dividend is expected to be approximately U.S. $0.1478 per share (before deduction of any applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.7781. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes.
Confirmation of Record and Payment Date Policy
Pembina pays cash dividends on its common shares in Canadian dollars on a monthly basis to shareholders of record on the 25th calendar day of each month (except for the December record date, which is December 31st), if, as and when determined by the Board of Directors. Should the record date fall on a weekend or a statutory holiday, the effective record date will be the previous business day. The dividend payment date is the 15th of the month following the record date. Should the payment date fall on a weekend or on a holiday the business day prior to the weekend or holiday becomes the payment date.

CALGARY, March 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or "the Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that Alliance Pipeline Ltd. ("Alliance"), of which it owns a 50 percent interest, has commenced a binding open season ("Open Season") for expansion capacity commitments.
Alliance today announced a binding Open Season for expansion capacity commitments. The Open Season is for an estimated 400 million cubic feet per day of additional firm service, commencing at an anticipated in-service date in the fourth quarter of 2021. The two-month Open Season begins March 28, 2018 and closes May 30, 2018.
Alliance receives natural gas in British Columbia, Alberta and North Dakota and carries it to the Chicago market, delivering approximately 1.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. Pending regulatory approval, Alliance will increase capacity by approximately 25 percent through the addition of compression and other facilities to its system.
The offer is available to both existing and prospective shippers, for a minimum bid term of 15 years. Two Open Seasons are being held concurrently, one for Canadian receipt and delivery services and one for United States ("U.S.") transportation service. Parties interested in acquiring capacity from the Canadian receipt points must participate in both open seasons to obtain delivery service to Chicago.
Subject to the results of the Open Season, this approximately $2 billion project will be backstopped by long term, take-or-pay contracts that will provide customers with long term, firm receipt service with the certainty of fixed fees.
"The proposed expansion of Alliance Pipeline will increase access to premium markets and improve our service offering to current and potential customers," said Jason Wiun, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Pipelines. "While our extensive discussions regarding the expansion have indicated strong shipper interest, a successful Open Season process is a crucial step towards advancing the project, and providing our customers with additional service and access to the premium Chicago market."
More information on the binding Open Season is available on Alliance's website at www.alliancepipeline.com.

CALGARY, March 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a common share cash dividend for March 2018 of $0.18 per share to be paid, subject to applicable law, on April 15, 2018 to shareholders of record on March 25, 2018. This dividend is designated an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes. For non-resident shareholders, Pembina's common share dividends should be considered "qualified dividends" and may be subject to Canadian withholding tax.
For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S. funds, the March 2018 cash dividend is expected to be approximately U.S. $0.1392 per share (before deduction of any applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.7736. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes.
Pembina pays cash dividends on its common shares in Canadian dollars on a monthly basis to shareholders of record on the 25th calendar day of each month (except for the December record date, which is December 31st), if, as and when determined by the Board of Directors. Should the record date fall on a weekend or a statutory holiday, the effective record date will be the previous business day. The dividend payment date is the 15th of the month following the record date. Should the payment date fall on a weekend or on a holiday the business day prior to the weekend or holiday becomes the payment date.
Closing of Term Loan and Credit Facility Extension
Pembina has closed its previously announced $1 billion non-revolving term loan ("Term Loan") with certain existing lenders. The Term Loan will be used to partially repay existing amounts drawn under Pembina's $2.5 billion revolving credit facility, thereby providing additional liquidity, flexibility and interest cost savings. The Term Loan will have an initial term of three years and is pre-payable at the Company's option. The other terms and conditions of the Term Loan, including financial covenants, are substantially similar to Pembina's $2.5 billion revolving credit facility. Concurrently, Pembina also completed an extension of its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility, which now matures May 31, 2023.

Financial Highlights
Operational Highlights
Executive Overview
2017 was a transformative year for Pembina. Most notably, the Company completed the largest acquisition in our history, establishing us as a leading North American energy infrastructure company. The acquisition of Veresen supports the continued execution of Pembina's long-term strategy by increasing our positioning to long-life economic hydrocarbon reserves, further integrating and enhancing our service offering including adding an entire natural gas value chain, extending our reach into the U.S., while also increasing our portfolio of secured and unsecured growth projects. In short, Pembina is larger and more diversified.
Throughout the year, $4.8 billion of new projects were placed into service. These assets include our Phase III expansion, third fractionator at Redwater, Canadian Diluent Hub, four major gas processing facilities (including Veresen Midstream), additional pipeline expansions as well as several other value-added capital projects.
Thanks to the new in-service assets and the acquisition of Veresen, we set financial and operational records in both the fourth quarter and full-year 2017. This included achieving new revenue volume highs in our Conventional Pipelines and Gas Services businesses, which contributed to setting records for all of our key financial metrics including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per share, adjusted cash flow and adjusted cash flow per share.
In 2017, we also secured approximately $1.2 billion in new growth projects which will further strengthen our competitive position and support market access solutions for our customers.
"When I look back over the year, I am incredibly proud of all that we have accomplished through the disciplined execution of a consistent strategy, combined with the hard work and determination of our employees who make our success possible," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Safety continues to be an important priority that transcends everything we do. Over the past four years, Pembina employees worked over 11.5 million hours. Employees had worked 14 consecutive quarters without any lost time incidents; however, in the third quarter of 2017, Pembina experienced one employee lost time incident. Moving forward, our staff remain committed to the mantra that no project or job is important enough to compromise or jeopardize safety. "While we still have a commendable industry leading safety performance, we will work towards continuous improvement and remain diligently focused and committed to the 'zero by choice' safety culture that is integral to the Pembina way," said Mr. Dilger.
Looking ahead, Pembina's business prospects are positive with supportive market fundamentals. Hydrocarbon liquids prices have improved, enhancing development economics and supporting increased drilling by our producing customers. At the same time, favourable frac spreads continue to drive strong results in our marketing business. The Chicago and AECO gas price differentials are driving strong volumes on the Alliance pipeline into the premium Chicago market. With these strong fundamentals, we remain on track to achieve our 2018 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $2.55 to $2.75 billion.
"Complementing our strong business performance is our solid financial position," added Scott Burrows, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We continue to maintain a conservative balance sheet, a low payout ratio and a disciplined financing strategy."
Pembina announced two dividend increases totaling 12 percent in 2017 and consistent with our 'guard rails' the dividend is supported entirely by our fee-based business. Going forward, we anticipate being able to fund a growing dividend and $1 to $2 billion of capital projects per year without accessing the equity market.
Finally, with all the success that 2017 brought and the positive momentum we have seen so far in 2018, we are well positioned for what should be another exciting and active year ahead. Our ongoing efforts will continue to focus around building out our value-chain to provide our customers with premium market access for energy products derived from western Canadian hydrocarbons.
"Since embarking on our transformational journey a few years ago, I am profoundly humbled by what Pembina has accomplished in becoming a leading North American energy infrastructure company. I want to thank our customers, shareholders, communities and employees for their support during such an extraordinary time for Pembina and I look forward to a prosperous future together," concluded Mr. Dilger.

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of applicable securities legislation, that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "continue", "anticipate", "schedule", "will", "expects", "estimate", "potential", "planned", "future" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements, including certain financial outlook, pertaining to, without limitation, the following: Pembina's corporate strategy; expectations about commodity pricing and industry activities, anticipated dividend growth and access to capital; anticipated Adjusted EBITDA projections for 2018 and financial performance expectations resulting from Pembina's capital expenditures; completion of, and the potential future benefits and impacts of the Acquisition including the timing thereof; planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, expected capacity, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions on existing pipelines, gas services facilities, fractionation facilities, terminalling, storage and hub facilities, facility and system operations and throughput levels; anticipated synergies between assets under development, assets being acquired and existing assets of the Company; the future level and sustainability of cash dividends that Pembina intends to pay its shareholders, including the expected future cash flows and the sufficiency thereof.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; prevailing interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to lawsuits and environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of acquisitions due to the factors set out herein, integration issues or otherwise, fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and cyber security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the 2018 Adjusted EBITDA projection is to provide investors with an indication of the value to Pembina of capital projects that have been and will be brought into service in 2018, and the closing of the acquisition of Veresen on 2018 full-year financial results. Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. With the exception of operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA which definitions were modified to capture proportionate interest in equity accounted investees due to the Acquisition, these Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Comparative figures have been restated for the adjustments made to the definitions. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-GAAP Proportionate Consolidation of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees Results
In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's jointly controlled investments are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are net into a single line item on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Net earnings from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, Share of Profit of Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Cash contributions and distributions from Investments in Equity Accounted Investees represent Pembina's proportionate share paid and received in the period to and from the equity accounted investment.
To assist the readers' understanding and evaluation of the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with Non-GAAP disclosure of Pembina's proportionately consolidated interest in the Investments in Equity Accounted Investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in Investments in Equity Accounted Investees has been included in operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and other reconciling line items to IFRS. A reconciliation of operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA to Share of profit of investments in equity accounted investees can be found under the heading "Proportionately Consolidated Results by Investments in Equity Accounted Investees".
Other issuers may calculate these Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended December 31, 2017, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, Nov. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced that its Board of Directors has approved approximately $400 million of new capital projects, as well as a capital program of approximately $1.3 billion for 2018.
"2017 has been a transitional year in Pembina's history," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Since the beginning of 2015, we have placed approximately $8 billion of predominately contracted assets into service, marking the culmination of an unprecedented growth strategy implemented in 2013. In addition, we also completed the largest corporate acquisition of our company's history during the year. We expect to continue this positive momentum into 2018, as we remain focused on completing the remaining growth portfolio and advancing our strategy of creating new market access for our customers. With increased size and scale, greater diversification and a broader service offering, the future is bright for Pembina. We are also excited to continue pursuing the expanded growth opportunities available to us in support of value creation for our shareholders."
New Capital Projects
Prince Rupert LPG Export Terminal
Pembina is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved the development of the Company's previously proposed liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") export terminal (the "Prince Rupert Terminal" or the "Project").
The Prince Rupert Terminal will be located on Watson Island, British Columbia on lands leased from a wholly-owned subsidiary of the City of Prince Rupert (the "City"). Through site assessments and engagement with key stakeholders, the Company has confirmed Watson Island as the ideal location for the Project to be developed and has executed definitive commercial agreements with the City.
"Since our initial announcement of potentially developing the Prince Rupert Terminal, we've worked diligently with municipal and other stakeholders and are now able to move forward with our final investment decision," said Stuart Taylor, Pembina's Senior Vice President, NGL & Natural Gas Facilities.
The Prince Rupert Terminal is expected to have a permitted capacity of approximately 25,000 barrels per day of LPG and is expected to be in service mid-2020, subject to Pembina receiving necessary regulatory and environmental approvals.
"We are very excited to progress the Prince Rupert Terminal and continue working with the local communities, stakeholders, First Nations and governments in the area," continued Mr. Taylor. "This Project will provide significant economic benefits to the Prince Rupert area including 150 to 200 construction positions and, once operational, it will create between 20 to 30 full-time positions in addition to generating annual property tax revenue and lease payments."
"We are thrilled to work with Pembina to finally get Watson Island back in business," commented Lee Brain, the Mayor of Prince Rupert. "What was once the story of economic downfall and hardship is now the story of prosperity and renewal. Getting Watson Island back on the tax roll has been the key priority of this council, and receiving this final investment decision from Pembina will provide us with additional lease and tax revenues to support community services and infrastructure."
Pembina has completed a class three estimate for the Project and due to minor scope changes, dock maintenance and additional site preparation the expected capital cost has been adjusted to $250 to $270 million. LPG supply for the Prince Rupert Terminal will primarily be sourced from Pembina's Redwater fractionation complex.
"Advancing the Prince Rupert Terminal, alongside continuing to progress our proposed integrated propylene and polypropylene production facility, is a meaningful step towards our strategy of providing new market solutions for our customers – helping to add incremental value to western Canadian hydrocarbons and ultimately increasing producer netbacks," concluded Mr. Taylor.
North Central Liquids Hub
In addition to the Prince Rupert Terminal, the Board of Directors have sanctioned the development of the North Central Liquids Hub ("North Central Liquids Hub"), which supports operations for the Cutbank Ridge Partnership ("CRP") within the world class Montney formation. This project is being advanced through Pembina's midstream limited partnership with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("Midstream Partnership"), in which the Company owns approximately a 46 percent interest. The estimated capital cost for this project is $320 million ($150 million net to Pembina) and is expected to be placed into service in late 2018. The North Central Liquids Hub will provide separation and stabilization of increased condensate volumes from CRP to support the recently in-service Sunrise and Saturn gas plants. The North Central Liquids Hub can also be further expanded to serve the future requirements of the CRP as well as other potential third-party producers. Additionally, the North Centrals Liquids Hub will be connected into Pembina's pipeline systems.

Conventional Pipelines
Pembina plans to spend approximately $540 million in its Conventional Pipelines business next year, 40 percent of its overall 2018 capital spending plan.
Pembina will allocate the majority of capital spending within its Conventional Pipelines business to completing the Phase IV and Phase V expansions of the Company's Peace and Northern pipeline systems. The Company expects to bring both projects into service in late 2018.
The 2018 capital budget for the Conventional Pipelines segment includes funds allocated to the right-of-way cleanup costs associated with Pembina's Phase III Expansion, which was placed into service at the end of the second quarter of 2017, as well as the Company's northeast British Columbia pipeline expansion and its Altares lateral, both of which were placed into service in October 2017. The associated cleanup costs that are budgeted to be spent in 2018 for the respective projects have been included in the previously announced final in-service capital costs.
Additional capital will be spent in the Conventional Pipelines segment on various improvements and upgrades to the communications, pipeline system monitoring and electrical and integrity programs designed to continue to support the safe and reliable operations of the growing business.
Midstream
In 2018, Pembina expects to spend $260 million, or 19 percent of the overall budget, in its Midstream business.
In Pembina's NGL Midstream business, the Company expects to spend $235 million in 2018, of which the largest single component will be approximately $80 million related to the initial development and construction of the Prince Rupert Terminal as well as approximately $30 million directed to the completion of the Burstall Storage Cavern. Additional spending within NGL Midstream will be directed towards progressing the Redwater cogeneration facility, completion of the Redwater rail yard expansion and liquids handling facilities, and other minor projects across the Redwater West and Empress East facilities.
In Pembina's Crude Oil Midstream business, Pembina expects to spend approximately $25 million in 2018, primarily focused on adding additional connectivity at Pembina's Edmonton Terminal and Canadian Diluent Hub.
Gas Services
Pembina plans to allocate approximately $175 million, or 13 percent, of its 2018 capital budget to new facilities within the Gas Services business. This includes the development and construction of a 100 million cubic feet per day ("MMcf/d") Duvernay II gas plant and additional infrastructure located at the Company's Duvernay Complex. Pembina anticipates bringing Duvernay II and the additional infrastructure into service mid to late 2019, subject to regulatory and environmental approval.
Oil Sands and Heavy Oil
Pembina expects to spend approximately $20 million, or approximately 2 percent, of its 2018 capital budget to the Oil Sands and Heavy Oil business, with all capital being directed towards system enhancements which will be added into the rate base of the associated pipeline system.
Joint Venture Working Interest Capital
Pembina plans to allocate approximately $170 million (net to Pembina), or approximately 13 percent of its 2018 capital budget to new facilities within the Company's joint venture partnerships. The majority of the spending will be directed to capital projects within the Midstream Partnership, including the completion of the second 200 MMcf/d gas processing train at Saturn, which is expected to be placed into service in the first half of 2018 and the construction of the North Central Liquids Hub. Of the $170 million expected capital, Pembina plans to contribute $145 million to the joint venture partnerships while the remaining capital will be funded by liquidity available within the joint venture entities.
Proposed value chain extension projects
Pembina is expecting to allocate $35 million (net to Pembina) to complete the front end engineering design ("FEED") for a proposed combined propane dehydrogenation ("PDH") and polypropylene ("PP") production facility (the "PDH/PP Facility"). Pembina and Kuwait's Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. are 50/50 joint venture partners of Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Company ("CKPC"). CKPC expects to complete the FEED process by late 2018.
The Company plans to spend approximately $135 million towards progressing its proposed Jordan Cove LNG project ("Jordan Cove"). Jordan Cove officially filed its application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in September 2017 with the Company expecting an outcome during the second half of 2018. Pembina continues to focus on securing binding agreements for the long-term sale of natural gas liquefaction capacity at the export terminal, as well as securing the regulatory and environmental permits for both the terminal and the associated pipeline.
Commercial Update
On November 1, 2017, Pembina re-contracted approximately 220 MMcf/d at its Cutbank Complex with an existing anchor tenant under a new long-term, take-or-pay processing agreement. The new contract provides the Company with long-term revenue certainty and utilizes a large portion of the existing shallow and deep cut contract capacities which were due to expire. The agreement also demonstrates Pembina's commitment of working with its customers to provide low cost, safe and reliable services.
Closing Remarks
"We expect our 2018 results to benefit from the diligent work of our teams – which safely completed a robust capital program during the year – as well as the further integration of the acquired Veresen assets," said Mr. Scott Burrows, Pembina's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "2018 will be an active year for us, as we focus on realizing the expected Veresen acquisition synergies, completing the remaining assets under construction as well as progressing our newly announced capital projects. Combined, these efforts are expected to deliver our target 2018 adjusted EBITDA of $2.55 to $2.75 billion of which greater than 85 percent is expected to be generated from fee-based assets. As a leading North American infrastructure company, we are better positioned to pursue large-scale growth opportunities and are excited to continue delivering top tier performance and realizing our expected transformational results," concluded Mr. Burrows.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the term adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), which is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of the issuer's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities, and is also used by investor and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing an issuer, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate this non-GAAP measure differently. Investors should be cautioned that this measure should not be construed as alternatives to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's financial reports, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and at www.pembina.com.

Highlights
Executive Comments
"This quarter marked an inflection point in Pembina's history," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Pembina embarked on an unprecedented suite of growth projects in 2013 and since the beginning of 2015, we have placed over $5 billion of new fee-for-service assets into service. The largest component of this growth program, being the Phase III Expansion, the third Redwater fractionator and the Canadian Diluent Hub, were placed into service at the end of the second quarter. The third quarter of 2017 represented the first full quarter of cash flow contribution from these assets – which we continue to expect to ramp up over future quarters. Pembina's robust financial position provides a strong platform to pursue our next suite of growth projects."
"Thanks to the newly in-service assets, we've set a revenue volume record in our Conventional Pipelines business on a quarterly and year-to-date basis, which have contributed to reaching new financial records including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash flow from operating activities and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per share," continued Mr. Dilger.
"As volumes continue to ramp up on the recently in-service assets, our financial position will strengthen and our adjusted cash flow from our operating activities per share will continue to grow."
"On October 2, 2017, we closed the acquisition of Veresen – marking a transformational moment for our company," said Mr. Dilger. "With increased size and scale, greater diversification and a broader service offering, the future is bright for Pembina. Going forward, we are capable of pursuing expanded growth opportunities in support of continued value creation for our shareholders. Given the strong financial position of the combined company, we were also proud to have increased the dividend for a second time this year."
"Looking ahead, we will stay focused on successfully completing the remaining growth portfolio, further progressing our large-scale potential project roster as well as working to integrate Veresen and to achieve the near-term expected synergies of $75 to $100 million on a run-rate basis. We are now positioned as a leading North American infrastructure company able to continue delivering top-tier performance and I am excited to realize our expected transformational results," concluded Mr. Dilger.
New Developments in 2017 and Growth Projects Update
Strategic Business Combination Announcement
On October 2, 2017, Pembina announced that it completed its business combination (the "Transaction") with Veresen pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under Section 193 of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) to create one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in Canada. Pursuant to the Arrangement, Pembina acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Veresen valued at approximately $9.4 billion, including the assumption of Veresen debt, the proportionate interest in the debt of Veresen's equity accounted investments and Veresen preferred shares (Veresen and equity accounted investee's debt assumption is approximately $3 billion). All regulatory conditions have been satisfied prior to closing. These conditions included termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period by the US Federal Trade Commission on May 30, 2017; approval by the Minister of Transport under the Canada Transportation Act on June 28, 2017; and expiry of the waiting period under the Canadian Competition Act on September 13, 2017. With respect to the Canadian Competition Act, Pembina continues to work with the Commissioner of Competition and his staff post-closing relative to the Alberta Ethane Gathering System ("AEGS"), and their review relating to AEGS is ongoing. In conjunction with closing the Transaction, Pembina increased its common share dividend by 5.9 percent to $0.18 per share per month effective for the October 2017 common share dividend.
Given the closing of the Arrangement occurred on October 2, 2017, Veresen's financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2017 are not reflected in Pembina's third quarter financial and operating results. Furthermore, pursuant to Canadian securities regulations, Veresen will not be filing financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the third quarter of 2017. However, a summary of Veresen's proportionately consolidated EBITDA for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 is as follows:

Veresen EBITDA has been measured using US GAAP as the basis of measurement excluding transaction costs, impact of gains and losses from foreign exchange, derivative financial instruments and project development spend. EBITDA for Veresen's jointly controlled businesses represents Veresen's proportional share based on Veresen's ownership interest, and includes consolidation adjustments. Post-acquisition, Veresen's results will be reported under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). |
Alliance Pipeline ("Alliance") continued to benefit from high demand for seasonal and interruptible services, driven by a wide Chicago-AECO gas price differential, Alliance's high rate of availability and outages or curtailments on other transportation options out of western Canada.
Ruby Pipeline EBITDA continues to benefit from take-or-pay contracts despite volumes flowing on the pipeline being negatively impacted due to the strong competition from western Canadian gas.
Aux Sable earnings benefited from improved propane plus margins as well as the ability to recognize the margin deferred in previous quarters due to the annual nature of the counterparty margin sharing agreement underpinning this asset.
Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership ("Veresen Midstream") EBITDA is generated from the Hythe and Steeprock gas processing facilities, which are governed by a take-or-pay arrangement, as well as the Dawson natural gas gathering and compression assets, which are on a fee-for-service basis with a contracted mechanism that ensures the return of capital within eight years. The Dawson assets noted lower revenues and volumes in the quarter, primarily due to downstream outages impacting the ability to flow gas.
Veresen also progressed a number of development opportunities during and following the third quarter of 2017. Major new developments and growth project updates include:

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of applicable securities legislation, that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "schedule", "will", "expects", "estimate", "potential", "planned", "future", "continue" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements, including certain financial outlook, pertaining to, without limitation, the following: Pembina's corporate strategy; anticipated adjusted EBITDA projections for 2018 and financial performance expectations resulting from Pembina's capital expenditures; completion of, and the potential future benefits and impacts of the Transaction including the timing thereof; planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, expected capacity, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions on existing pipelines, gas services facilities, fractionation facilities, terminalling, storage and hub facilities, facility and system operations and throughput levels; anticipated synergies between assets under development, assets being acquired and existing assets of the Company; the future level and sustainability of cash dividends that Pembina intends to pay its shareholders, including the expected dividend increase upon completion of the Transaction; and expected future cash flows and the sufficiency thereof.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner (including in respect of the Transaction); that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities that there are no unforeseen material costs or liabilities, or other significant events relating to the completion of the Transaction; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; prevailing interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to lawsuits and environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; the inability to meet the remaining conditions to completion of the Transaction, in a timely manner or at all; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of the Transaction following closing due to the factors set out herein, integration issues or otherwise, fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the 2018 Adjusted EBITDA projection is to provide investors with an indication of the value to Pembina of capital projects that have been and will be brought into service in 2017, and the closing of the Transaction on 2018 full-year financial results. Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Veresen EBITDA, adjusted cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from operating activities per common share and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share (also known as "cash flow per share" and "adjusted cash flow per share") and total enterprise value, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. Veresen EBITDA has been calculated as defined in the table provided. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Other issuers may calculate these Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended September 30, 2017, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, Oct. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) ("Pembina") is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced business combination (the "Transaction") with Veresen Inc. (TSX: VSN) ("Veresen") pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under Section 193 of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) to create one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in Canada.
"Today marks another significant milestone for Pembina," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "With increased size and scale, the combined companies create a platform in which we can pursue expanded growth opportunities while continuing to support future dividend growth and value creation for our shareholders. Our customers will also benefit from the enhanced service offerings through the highly integrated asset base and the extended geographic reach."
"We are also proud to have increased the common share dividend for the second time this year – a testament to the strength of the combined companies and to our commitment of providing value to our shareholders," continued Mr. Dilger. "We have recently placed $2.8 billion of projects into service and expect to place approximately $2 billion of additional projects into service by early 2018. Pembina has truly become a leading North American infrastructure company and is well positioned to deliver top-tier performance going forward. Our future is bright and I am excited to realize our expected near term transformational results," concluded Mr. Dilger.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, Pembina acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Veresen in a transaction valued at approximately $9.4 billion, including the assumption of Veresen's debt (including subsidiary debt) and preferred shares.
In accordance with the Arrangement, Veresen has been amalgamated with Pembina and the outstanding Veresen preferred shares have been exchanged for Pembina preferred shares with the same terms and conditions, and will be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbols PPL.PR.O (series 15, previously Series A preferred shares of Veresen), PPL.PR.Q (series 17, previously Series C preferred shares of Veresen) and PPL.PR.S (series 19, previously Series E preferred shares of Veresen) within a few days following closing. Dividends on the series 15, 17 and 19 preferred shares will continue to be paid on the last business day of March, June, September and December in each year if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors.
As previously announced, based on elections received, each Veresen common shareholder (a "Shareholder") who elected cash will receive, on a pro-rated basis, an aggregate amount that equals (i) cash of approximately $6.4314, and (ii) approximately 0.2809 of a Pembina common share, multiplied by the number of Veresen common shares held by such Shareholder. For certainty, the Shareholder will exchange a portion of their shares for cash and a portion for Pembina common shares pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement. Shareholders who elected Pembina common shares or did not make an election will not be subject to pro-rationing and will receive 0.4287 of a Pembina common share for each Veresen common share held. No fractional Pembina shares will be issued pursuant to the Arrangement and therefore the consideration received by any individual shareholder may be subject to adjustment according to the provisions for rounding described in the management information circular of Veresen dated June 5, 2017.
The previously announced common shareholder dividend payable to Veresen common shareholders of record on September 25, 2017 of $0.0833 per common share, will be paid to such shareholders as planned on October 23, 2017.
The Veresen common shares and preferred shares will be delisted from the TSX within a few trading days following closing. The Pembina common shares issued to the former holders of Veresen common shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be listed on the TSX under the symbol "PPL" and on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PBA".
All regulatory conditions have been satisfied prior to closing. These conditions included termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period by the US Federal Trade Commission on May 30, 2017; approval by the Minister of Transport under the Canada Transportation Act on June 28, 2017; and expiry of the waiting period under the Canadian Competition Act on September 13, 2017. With respect to the Canadian Competition Act, Pembina has been working with the Commissioner of Competition and his staff for several months relative to the Alberta Ethane Gathering System ("AEGS"), and their review relating to AEGS is ongoing. This work with the Commissioner of Competition and his staff will continue post-closing. Should Pembina and the Commissioner of Competition not reach a mutual agreement relative to AEGS, the matter may be referred to the Competition Tribunal by the Commissioner of Competition for resolution for a period of up to one year from closing. The Company is of the view that its ownership of AEGS is complementary to its natural gas liquids ("NGL") infrastructure, and Pembina's fee-for-service business model will continue to drive increased volumes across both AEGS and its NGL infrastructure benefiting producers and the broader NGL market. Currently, AEGS comprises approximately one percent of Pembina's forecasted 2018 adjusted EBITDA.
Common share dividend increase and declaration
In conjunction with closing of the Transaction, Pembina is proceeding with the previously announced increase to its common share dividend. As such, Pembina's Board of Directors has declared a common share cash dividend for October 2017 of $0.18 per share to be paid, subject to applicable law, on November 15, 2017 to shareholders of record on October 25, 2017. This dividend reflects a 5.9 percent increase to the current monthly common share dividend rate of $0.17 per share. This dividend is designated an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes. For non-resident shareholders, Pembina's common share dividends should be considered "qualified dividends" and are subject to Canadian withholding tax. For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S. funds, the October 2017 cash dividend is expected to be approximately U.S. $0.1443 per share (before deduction of any applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.8018. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes.
Pembina pays cash dividends on its common shares in Canadian dollars on a monthly basis to shareholders of record on the 25th calendar day of each month (except for the December record date, which is December 31st), if, as and when determined by the Board of Directors. Should the record date fall on a weekend or a statutory holiday, the effective record date will be the previous business day. The dividend payment date is the 15th of the month following the record date. Should the payment date fall on a weekend or on a holiday the business day prior to the weekend or holiday becomes the payment date.
Business update
Pembina is pleased to announce that commissioning is now underway for the Company's Duvernay assets (the "Duvernay Complex") which includes its 100 million cubic feet per day ("MMcf/d") (75 MMcf/d net to Pembina) shallow cut gas plant ("Duvernay I"), connecting pipelines and the associated field hub infrastructure ("Field Hub"). The Duvernay Complex is expected to be placed into service on November 1, 2017, ahead of schedule and under budget. This will represent the first large-scale processing plant and infrastructure to be placed into service that was specifically developed to handle the liquids-rich Duvernay production.
Pembina also anticipates that the construction of the 160 kilometer northeast British Columbia ("B.C.") pipeline (the "NEBC Expansion") will be completed in October on time and on budget. The NEBC Expansion, which is underpinned by long-term, cost-of-service agreements, is expected to add approximately 75 thousand barrels per day ("mbpd") of capacity and is centrally located to accommodate further incremental transportation demands for the majority of producers in the liquids-rich Montney resource play. With continued development in the Montney, the NEBC Expansion offers producers a cost-effective transportation solution and access to Pembina's existing infrastructure at Taylor, B.C. which feeds into the Edmonton, Alberta area market hub.
On June 30, 2017, Pembina placed its Phase III Expansion into service, adding 420 mbpd of incremental capacity between the Fox Creek and Namao corridor of Alberta on the Company's Peace and Northern systems. Through the first six months of 2017, Pembina's Conventional Pipeline revenue volumes averaged 692 mbpd, representing a 42 mbpd increase over the full year 2016 average of 650 mbpd. Approximately half of this increase was related to incremental volumes on Pembina's Peace and Northern systems in anticipation of the Phase III Expansion being placed into service. Pembina currently estimates Conventional Pipelines' revenue volumes for the third quarter of 2017 will be over 750 mbpd, consistent with Pembina's management's expectations. Combined with the additional Peace connections that will be placed into service throughout 2018 and the incremental Peace pipeline expansions expected to be placed into service in late 2018, revenue generated from the Peace pipeline will continue to ramp-up based on shipper contractual obligations. As such, Pembina expects a continued steady increase in Peace pipeline revenue volumes through the remainder of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018, with another step-change occurring in 2019, where current firm volume commitments reach their peak.
On September 21, 2017, Veresen announced that the Jordan Cove Energy Project and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline have filed applications with the United States Federal Regulatory Commission for the construction and operations of a 7.8 million tonne per annum liquefied natural gas ("LNG") export terminal in Coos Bay, Oregon and the related Pacific Connector that will transport natural gas from the Malin Hub in southern Oregon to the LNG export terminal.
On September 27, 2017, Veresen announced the successful start-up of the Tower rich gas processing plant on September 20, 2017, ahead of schedule and under budget. The Tower processing plant has the capacity to process 200 MMcf/d of natural gas, and is the first of three Veresen Midstream facilities that support the Cutbank Ridge Partnership's ("CRP") condensate-focused growth plan in the Montney within the Dawson Creek region of northeast B.C. The two remaining plants currently under construction are also expected to be placed into service ahead of schedule and under budget. The 400 MMcf/d Sunrise processing plant is expected to start-up by mid-October with throughput anticipated to ramp-up throughout 2018. The Saturn processing plant is anticipated to have one of its two 200 MMcf/d trains in-service by year-end, followed by the second train expected to be placed into service in the first half of 2018. When all three facilities are operational, Veresen Midstream will have 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of gas processing capacity in operation in the core of the Montney, one of North America's most prolific and competitive liquids-rich resource plays. As of September 28, 2017, Pembina has commissioned the tie-in of the Tower plant to the Peace pipeline system.

In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "continue", "will", "future", "expect", or similar words suggesting future outcomes or outlook. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements with respect to: anticipated synergies and benefits of the Transaction to Pembina and its shareholders; remedies that may be imposed by the Competition Bureau with respect to the Arrangement; anticipated timing, capacities, and revenue volumes of Pembina's capital projects; future dividends which may be declared on Pembina's common and preferred shares, the dividend payment and the tax treatment thereof; and the timing of the listings of the Pembina common and preferred shares. The forward-looking information provided in this news release is based upon a number of material factors and assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as of the date of this news release, including, without limitation: that favourable circumstances continue to exist in respect of current operations and current and future growth projects; future levels of oil and natural gas developments; potential revenue and cash flow enhancement; that any remedies that may be imposed by the Competition Bureau with respect to the Arrangement will have minimal impact on Pembina's business and its operations; with respect to Pembina's future dividends and results: prevailing commodity prices, margins and exchange rates, that the businesses of the combined company will continue to achieve sustainable financial results and that the combined company's future operations and results of operations will be consistent with past performance of Pembina and Veresen and management expectations in relation thereto including, the sanctioning and completion of any third party projects relating to growth projects, future operating costs, the availability and sources of capital, ongoing utilization and future expansion of the combined company, future production rates, the ability to reach required commercial agreements, the ability to obtain required regulatory and environmental approvals on the necessary terms and in a timely manner, and the continuation of timely performance by counterparties to material agreements. Although Pembina believes that the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information is subject to a number of risks and other factors that could cause actual results and events to vary materially from that anticipated by such forward-looking information, including, but not limited to: the failure to realize the anticipated synergies or benefits of the Transaction following closing due to integration issues, incorrect assumptions, any post-closing regulatory remedies or otherwise; changes to applicable tax laws; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the availability and cost of labour and services; non-performance of agreements in accordance with their terms; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; reliance on key industry partners, alliances and agreements; lower than anticipated results of operations and accretion from Pembina's business initiatives; the inability of Pembina to raise sufficient capital; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices, and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents including, among other things, those detailed under "Risk Factors" in Pembina's management's discussion and analysis and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2016, which can be found at www.sedar.com under Pembina's profile. Readers are also urged to consult the disclosure provided under the heading "Risk Factors" in Veresen's management information circular dated June 5, 2017, which was filed on SEDAR under Veresen's profile, for further information respecting the risks and other factors applicable to the Arrangement. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors is not exhaustive. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these factors are independent and management's future course of action would depend on its assessment of all information at that time. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date hereof, and Pembina does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws.
Any forward-looking information contained herein is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
In this news release, Pembina has used the term adjusted EBITDA. For more information about this non-GAAP measure, see the "Non-GAAP measures" section below. The information contained herein with respect to future adjusted EBITDA is to assist investors in understanding the combined company's expected financial results, and this information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Any forward-looking information contained herein is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this press release, Pembina has used the term "adjusted EBITDA" which is not defined by GAAP but is used by management to evaluate the Transaction. Since non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that non-GAAP measures are clearly defined and qualified. The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information with respect to the Transaction to investors and analysts though the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as earnings for the year plus share of profit (loss) from equity accounted investees (before tax, depreciation and amortization) plus net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (included in operations and general and administrative expense) and unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments. The exclusion of unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments eliminates the non-cash impact of such gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments for loss (gain) on disposal of assets, transaction costs incurred in respect of acquisitions, impairment charges or reversals and write-downs in respect of goodwill, intangible assets and property plant and equipment, and non-cash provisions. These additional adjustments are made to exclude various non-cash and other items that are not reflective of ongoing operations. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of an issuer's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities. Management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's success.

CALGARY, Sept. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that in order to accommodate incremental volume commitments from customers, the Company is adding additional infrastructure and increasing operational flexibilities to its previously announced Phase V pipeline expansion ("Phase V"), which included a 20 inch pipeline from Lator to Fox Creek, Alberta. The Company is also revising its capital cost estimate for Phase V by an additional $135 million for a total capital cost of $385 million.
The Company's Conventional Pipelines' business has continued to receive customer demand for its transportation services. Since Phase V was originally announced in April 2017, Pembina has secured approximately 30,000 barrels per day in additional volume commitments.
The Phase V capital cost estimate revision is a result of:
Through the Phase V project enhancements, the pipeline capacity will be increased by an incremental 45,000 barrels per day ("bpd") upstream of Laglace, Alberta. In addition to accommodating further customer demand, this will improve operational efficiencies and offer more optionality, which will ultimately provide a better service offering for Pembina's customers.
Phase V is aimed at addressing capacity constraints between Lator and Fox Creek and supporting future growth in the Montney and Deep Basin resource plays. The project is expected to provide additional capacity in this corridor and access to Pembina's downstream capacity at Fox Creek. Clearing and access to the right-of-way is now 90 percent complete with construction expected to commence shortly. The Company continues to anticipate bringing Phase V into service in late-2018. Once operational, Pembina will have three distinct pipelines between Lator and Fox Creek.
The Company also continues to progress regulatory approvals, design and engineering of the two pump stations for its previously announced Phase IV pipeline expansion ("Phase IV"). Phase IV will increase capacity between Fox Creek and Namao, Alberta.

Shareholders may elect to receive either 0.4287 of a common share of Pembina (the "Share Consideration") or $18.65 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") for each of their Veresen common shares pursuant to the Arrangement. Shareholders may only elect to receive either the Share Consideration or the Cash Consideration for all of their common shares; Shareholders may not elect to receive a combination of the Share Consideration and the Cash Consideration. However, any election by a Shareholder is subject to pro-ration and rounding, and therefore Shareholders may ultimately receive a combination of cash and Pembina common shares by operation of the pro-ration provisions of the Arrangement as described in the Management Information Circular of Veresen dated June 5, 2017 (the "Circular"). Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, consideration to be received by Shareholders is subject to pro-ration based on maximum Share Consideration of 99.5 million Pembina common shares and maximum Cash Consideration of approximately $1.523 billion. Assuming full pro-ration, each Veresen shareholder would receive (i) cash in an amount equal to $4.8494 multiplied by the number of Veresen common shares held by the shareholder, and (ii) 0.3172 of a common share of Pembina multiplied by the number of Veresen common shares held by the shareholder.
Registered Shareholders may elect to receive the Share Consideration or the Cash Consideration by submitting a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form on or prior to the Election Deadline, 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on September 20, 2017, to Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the depositary under the Arrangement. For complete instructions on how to make an election and exchange Veresen common shares, please refer to the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form that was previously mailed to registered Shareholders in June 2017 and is also available on Veresen's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
Non-registered Shareholders who hold shares through an intermediary, such as a broker, investment dealer, bank or trust company, should carefully follow the instructions and deadlines from the intermediary that holds shares on their behalf in order to make an election. Non-registered Shareholders are encouraged to contact the intermediary that holds shares on their behalf with any questions about their election.
Shareholders who do not deposit a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form, directly or through their intermediary, prior to the Election Deadline will be deemed to have elected to receive the Share Consideration, subject to pro-ration as described above.
Closing of the Arrangement remains subject to approval under the Competition Act (Canada). Pembina and Veresen currently expect the Arrangement will close late in the third quarter to early in the fourth quarter of 2017. A detailed description of the Arrangement is set forth in the Circular, which has been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

"On a year-to-date basis, we've reached new volume records in our Conventional Pipelines and Gas Services businesses, which have contributed to beating records in almost all of our financial metrics including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash flow from operating activities and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per share. We've also continued to achieve safety and operational excellence with another quarter of zero lost time employee incidents."
"As we announced at the end of the second quarter, I am very proud we placed over $2.8 billion of projects into service, with the entire portfolio coming in under budget and either on time or ahead of schedule," continued Mr. Dilger. "These new assets have begun generating significant incremental cash flows, which will positively impact our financial results going forward."
"We're working to complete our remaining growth portfolio slated to come into service over the balance of the year and are excited to have entered into the front end engineering design phase of our proposed propane dehydrogenation and polypropylene facility," added Mr. Dilger.
"We've also made great strides in working towards closing the previously announced strategic acquisition of Veresen," said Mr. Dilger. "On July 11, 2017, Veresen's shareholders voted overwhelmingly to approve the transaction, followed by approval from the Court of Queen's Bench. Looking ahead, we are well on our way to fulfilling our goal of reaching our projected 2018 adjusted EBITDA of between $2.55 and $2.75 billion, assuming successful completion of the Veresen transaction."

Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; the inability to meet the remaining conditions to completion of the Transaction, in a timely manner or at all; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of the Transaction following closing due to the factors set out herein, integration issues or otherwise, fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlook contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the 2018 Adjusted EBITDA projection is to provide investors with an indication of the value to Pembina of capital projects that have been and will be brought into service in 2017, and the closing of the Transaction on 2018 full-year financial results. Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), adjusted cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from operating activities per common share and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share (also known as "cash flow per share" and "adjusted cash flow per share") and total enterprise value, which do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP Measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP Measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Other issuers may calculate these Non-GAAP Measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP Measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended June 30, 2017, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

Honeywell UOP's Oleflex™ technology addresses supply gap for one of the key ingredients of plastics
DES PLAINES, Ill., July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corp. (CKPC) has chosen Honeywell UOP's C3 Oleflex™ technology to produce 550,000 metric tons per year of polymer-grade propylene at CKPC's proposed facility in Sturgeon County near Edmonton, Alberta. CKPC is a joint venture of Pembina Pipeline Corporation (TSX: PPL, NYSE: PBA) of Canada and Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. of Kuwait.
Honeywell also will provide the process design package, proprietary and non-proprietary equipment, on-site operator training, technical services for startup and continuing operation, and key catalysts and adsorbents for the project. Including this project, Honeywell UOP's Oleflex technology has been selected for 41 out of 51 propane and isobutane dehydrogenation projects globally since 2011.
"Historically, propylene has been produced as a byproduct of making ethylene from petroleum, but with the influx of lighter feedstocks, the amount of propylene from these manufacturing processes is dramatically reduced," said John Gugel, vice president and general manager of Honeywell UOP's Process Technology and Equipment business. "Honeywell UOP's Oleflex process addresses the growing propylene supply gap by producing on-purpose propylene from propane, which is in abundant supply."
CKPC's proposed new facility is slated to consume 22,000 barrels per day of propane from Pembina Pipeline Corporation's Redwater fractionation complex and other regional facilities, and to produce more than 1.2 billion pounds per year of polypropylene for customers throughout North American and the world.
Honeywell UOP's C3 Oleflex technology uses catalytic dehydrogenation to convert propane to propylene and is proven to have the lowest cash cost of production and the highest return on investment among competing technologies. Its low energy consumption, low emissions and fully recyclable, platinum-alumina-based catalyst system minimizes its impact on the environment. The independent reaction and regeneration sections enable steady-state operations, improved operating flexibility, and a high on-stream factor and reliability.
Honeywell UOP also licenses C4 Oleflex technology, which converts butanes to butylenes, the primary ingredient for making high-octane fuel additives and synthetic rubber. Since the technology was first commercialized in 1990, Honeywell UOP has commissioned 27 Oleflex units for on-purpose propylene and isobutylene production. Global production capacity of propylene from Oleflex technology now stands at approximately 6.8 million metric tons per year.
CKPC is in the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase of developing a world-scale integrated propane dehydrogenation and polypropylene upgrading facility. The project being developed by CKPC remains subject to a positive final investment decision from each partner of the joint venture, as well as regulatory and environmental approvals.
Honeywell UOP (www.uop.com) is a leading international supplier and licensor of process technology, catalysts, adsorbents, equipment, and consulting services to the petroleum refining, petrochemical, and gas processing industries. Honeywell UOP is part of Honeywell's Performance Materials and Technologies strategic business group, which also includes Honeywell Process Solutions (www.honeywellprocess.com), a pioneer in automation control, instrumentation and services for the oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, chemical and other industries.
Honeywell (www.honeywell.com) is a Fortune 100 software-industrial company that delivers industry specific solutions that include aerospace and automotive products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes, and industry; and performance materials globally.

CALGARY, July 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or "the Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced that it has placed approximately $2.8 billion of integrated capital projects into service, including its Phase III pipeline expansion ("Phase III Expansion") and two connected major delivery points: the Company's third fractionator at Redwater ("RFS III") and its Canadian Diluent Hub ("CDH").
"At the outset of these projects, we committed to constructing large-scale, multiyear-build assets on time and on budget, and I'm proud to say that we've successfully delivered on that promise, with the overall portfolio coming in under budget by approximately 8 percent and either on time or ahead of schedule," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Phase III Expansion
The Phase III Expansion, which is underpinned by long-term contracts with take-or-pay commitments, was placed into service on June 30, 2017 on time and under budget from the $2.44 billion expected capital. The entire Phase III Expansion program, which was initiated in 2013, included installing over 900 kilometres ("km") of new pipeline primarily along the Company's existing Peace and Northern system rights-of-way, as well as upgrading and adding new mainline pump stations. Initial work for the Phase III Expansion included debottlenecking segments of existing pipeline systems from Taylor, British Columbia to Gordondale, Alberta and adding a new pipeline from Wapiti to Fox Creek, Alberta to accommodate increased volumes upstream of Pembina's Fox Creek tie-in point. In support of handling the increased product, 420,000 barrels per day ("bpd") of incremental capacity was added in the Fox Creek to Namao corridor of Alberta through the construction of two pipelines: a 16 inch and a 24 inch diameter pipeline, each spanning approximately 290 km.
With the Phase III Expansion now complete, Pembina has four pipelines between Fox Creek and Namao, allowing the Company to transport four distinct hydrocarbons – ethane-plus, propane-plus, condensate and crude oil – each in its own segregated pipeline, plus upstream capacity to handle higher volumes driven by the development of the Montney, Duvernay and Deep Basin resource plays.
"Placing our Phase III Expansion into service is an exciting milestone for Pembina as we've now successfully completed the largest capital project in our history," said Paul Murphy, Pembina's Senior Vice President, Pipeline and Crude Oil Facilities. "Our customers will benefit from the newly increased capacity, as our pipelines were previously under apportionment, and they will also realize enhanced service offerings and operational efficiencies from being able to flow segregated product in separate pipelines. In addition, we will be able to provide a ratable flow of ethane-plus and propane-plus into both Pembina and third-party fractionators in the Fort Saskatchewan region, which will help to optimize operations at these facilities."
In aggregate, Pembina now has over 850,000 bpd of combined capacity between its Peace and Northern Pipeline systems which connect into the delivery point at Namao. Given continued customer demand, the Company recently announced that it secured contracts to add an additional 180,000 bpd of capacity via the addition of two pump stations on the new 24 inch pipeline between Fox Creek and Namao through its Phase IV Expansion, subject to regulatory and environmental approval. It also is working on the Phase V Expansion, which entails looping its pipeline between Lator and Fox Creek to provide additional upstream capacity. Beyond these expansions, which are expected to be placed into service in late 2018, Pembina is able to increase capacity on the 24 and 16 inch pipelines in the Fox Creek to Namao corridor by another 250,000 bpd through additional pump stations – which would bring total capacity into the Namao hub to almost 1,300,000 bpd.
RFS III
In conjunction with the Phase III Expansion, RFS III was also placed into service on June 30, 2017, ahead of schedule and under budget. Backstopped by long-term, take-or-pay contracts, RFS III added 55,000 bpd of additional propane-plus fractionation capacity and leveraged the designs of Pembina's first and second fractionators. Pembina's Redwater complex now has an aggregate fractionation capacity of approximately 210,000 bpd – the largest in the Canadian energy infrastructure sector.
"Based on our customers' volume projections supporting the Phase III Expansion, we secured contracts to build RFS III so that pipeline and fractionation capacity would be better aligned within the Fort Saskatchewan area," said Stuart Taylor, Pembina's Senior Vice President, NGL and Natural Gas Facilities. "Along with increased fractionation capacity with RFS III, our Redwater complex provides customers with efficient storage and market access through our well-established facilities at Redwater and our new Canadian Diluent Hub."
"Looking ahead, we are focused on providing market access solutions for our customers for the products coming off the back end of our fractionators – particularly propane – which will ultimately help add value to the incremental barrels and serve to increase producer netbacks. In support of this, we are working to further expand our service offering down the value chain by proposing to develop both an integrated propylene and polypropylene production facility and a west coast liquefied petroleum gas export terminal," concluded Mr. Taylor.
CDH
Also aligned with the in-service of the Phase III Expansion and RFS III, on June 30, 2017, Pembina placed additional condensate connections at CDH into service on time and under budget. CDH, which operates commercially as a fee-based hub, provides direct connectivity for growing condensate volumes transported on Pembina's pipeline systems and offers diluent services for oil sands customers. Currently, the facility's pipelines are capable of delivering approximately 400,000 bpd of condensate to regional third-party diluent pipelines, with connections to the Access, Cold Lake, Fort Saskatchewan (FSPL) and Polaris pipelines. By the end of 2017, CDH is also expected to have additional third-party connections as well as 500,000 barrels of above ground storage in operation.
"The Canadian Diluent Hub was driven by the development of the Montney and Duvernay resource plays in our service areas," said Mr. Murphy. "Increasing production from these plays fueled infrastructure development, such as our Phase III Expansion and RFS III. With our access to growing condensate supply through our existing and new infrastructure, customers were supportive of us expanding diluent market access and service offerings."
Several additional factors supported the development of CDH, including its Alberta Industrial Heartland location, which is proximal to oil sands and diluent pipelines, as well as associated terminals. Development in this location enabled Pembina to avoid costly and congested construction in the greater Edmonton area. Further, given Pembina had reached its maximum capacity into the existing Edmonton-area condensate infrastructure, the Company foresaw that additional infrastructure would be required to accommodate higher volumes. Through CDH, Pembina now offers incremental solutions for its customers by expanding on the condensate services the Company already provides.
Summary
"Looking back only a few years ago when our extensive growth plans were in their infancy, to the transformation of where our company is today, I commend all of the hard work and dedication of our teams who worked tirelessly to achieve such extraordinary results in bringing our growth plans successfully into fruition – all while maintaining our outstanding safety record," commented Mr. Dilger. "I am also very proud of the relationships and trust we have built over this timeframe with the communities, stakeholders, customers and First Nations and Métis in the areas where we operate and look forward to continuing to foster these relationships in the future."
"Now through 2018 – including growth projects of Veresen, pending successful close of the transaction we announced in May this year – we will be placing an additional $3 billion of assets into service on top of the $2.8 billion we announced in service today," said Mr. Dilger. "These projects, with their low-risk, fee-for-service cash flows, will contribute significantly to our projected adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2018 between $2.55 and $2.75 billion."

Forward-Looking Statements & Information
This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, "forward-looking statements") that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "expects", "will", "would", "could", "plans", "anticipates", "schedule", "potential" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements, including certain financial outlooks, pertaining to, without limitation, the following: anticipated timing, in-service dates and capacities for ongoing growth projects; the anticipated timing acquisition of Veresen; the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, including anticipated adjusted EBITDA projections for the combined entity, as well as anticipated synergies; Pembina's corporate strategy; the ongoing utilization and development relating to expansions and additions to Pembina's asset base; financial results related to and growth opportunities associated with the assets of the combined company after the acquisition of Veresen..
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release, including:, the abilities of the parties to satisfy the conditions to closing of the Veresen acquisition; that favourable circumstances continue to exist in respect of current and future growth projects of Pembina and Veresen (including the ability to finance operations and such projects on favourable terms); continued oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; ongoing utilization and future expansion, development, growth and performance of Pembina's business and asset base; future demand for processing, fractionation and pipeline transportation services and new opportunities; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; future operating costs and cash flow; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required corporate, regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the ability of Pembina and Veresen to receive, in a timely manner, the necessary court, securityholder, stock exchange and other third-party approvals; the ability of the parties to satisfy the other conditions to the Veresen acquisition; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of the Veresen acquisition following closing due to integration issues or otherwise, and expectations and assumptions concerning, among other things: customer demand, planned synergies, capital efficiencies and cost savings; applicable tax laws; future production rates; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; lower than anticipated results of operations and accretion from Pembina's business initiatives; the ability of Pembina to raise sufficient capital; the regulatory environment and the ability to obtain required regulatory, corporate, environmental approvals; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and elsewhere, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com. This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. In addition, the closing of the Veresen acquisition may not be completed, or may be delayed if the parties' respective conditions to the closing of the acquisition, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, are not satisfied on the anticipated timelines or at all. Accordingly, there is a risk that the acquisition may not be completed within the anticipated timeline, or at all, on the terms currently proposed, or at all.
Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlooks contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the financial contained herein is to give the reader an indication of the combined company's financial results, and the information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used certain terms that are not defined by GAAP but are used by management to evaluate the Veresen acquisition. Since non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by international financial reporting measures ("IFRS") and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulators require that non-GAAP measures are clearly defined and qualified. The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information with respect to the proposed acquisition to investors and analysts.
In particular, Pembina has used the term adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as earnings for the year plus share of profit (loss) from equity accounted investees (before tax, depreciation and amortization) plus net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (included in operations and general and administrative expense) and unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments. The exclusion of unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments eliminates the non-cash impact of such gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments for loss (gain) on disposal of assets, transaction costs incurred in respect of acquisitions, impairment charges or reversals and write-downs in respect of goodwill, intangible assets and property plant and equipment, and non-cash provisions. These additional adjustments are made to exclude various non-cash and other items that are not reflective of ongoing operations. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of the issuer's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities, and is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing an issuer, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. Other issuers may calculate this non-GAAP measure differently. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's financial reports, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or "the Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) is pleased to announce that it, along with Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. ("PIC") of Kuwait, has reached key milestones for the previously announced proposed integrated propylene and polypropylene production facility in Sturgeon County, Alberta ("PDH/PP Facility" or the "Project"). Pembina and PIC have executed 50/50 joint venture agreements (the "Joint Venture") that includes binding commercial terms in support of the Project and have formed a new entity, Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation ("CKPC"). Additionally, Pembina is pleased to announce that CKPC will proceed with activities for front end engineering design ("FEED") for the Project.
"The encouraging results of the recently completed feasibility study, the previously announced award of $300 million in royalty credits from the Alberta Government's Petrochemicals Diversification Program, and a Joint Venture with our world class partner, PIC, gives Pembina the confidence to further advance the Project," said Stuart Taylor, Pembina's Senior Vice President, NGL & Natural Gas Facilities. "This Project represents a material extension of our natural gas liquids value chain strategy and creates a significant incremental local market for western Canadian hydrocarbons."
"PIC is looking forward to progressing the development of this Project into FEED stage. Establishing a Joint Venture with Pembina and investing in a large-scale value-addition project will contribute to PIC's continued pursuit of sustainable and globally-diversified petrochemical growth," said Mrs. Hosnia Hashim, PIC's Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Olefins and Aromatics. "This Joint Venture between PIC and Pembina will be positioned to flourish in a competitive market with access to secure and advantaged feedstock. PIC welcomes the support of the local governments in this initiative and is looking forward to potentially expanding its asset base within Alberta."
"It's encouraging to see another milestone along the way on a project that will help diversify the type of energy products we produce here in Alberta," said Margaret McCuaig-Boyd, Alberta's Minister of Energy. "Our government is committed to creating good jobs in the industry through investments in world-class petrochemical facilities like this one."
The decision to proceed with FEED, execution of definitive Joint Venture agreements and the establishment of CKPC represent major milestones for Pembina and PIC. Deliverables of FEED include a refined capital cost estimate, a project execution plan, regulatory applications, an updated construction schedule and projected in-service date, among numerous other items. The anticipated cost of FEED is expected to represent approximately 2.0 percent to 2.5 percent of the Project's current cost estimate. FEED activities are expected to be completed by late 2018, followed by a final investment decision ("FID") from each partner.
The proposed PDH/PP Facility is expected to consume 22,000 barrels per day of Alberta-produced propane, which is expected to be sourced from Pembina's Redwater Fractionation Complex ("RFS"), as well as other regional facilities. The Project is anticipated to produce in excess of 1.2 billion pounds per year of polypropylene which would be transported to North American and global markets. Subject to required approvals and a positive FID, the Joint Venture expects to construct the PDH/PP Facility in close proximity to RFS in Sturgeon County, part of Alberta's Industrial Heartland. The preliminary capital cost estimate of the Project is $3.8 - $4.2 billion (gross).

CALGARY, May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) ("Pembina" or the "Company") and Veresen Inc. (TSX: VSN) ("Veresen") are pleased to announce they have entered into an arrangement agreement to create one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in Canada with a pro-forma enterprise value of approximately $33 billion (the "Transaction").
Overview of the Combination – Highlights:
The combined company will feature an asset base supported by long-life, economic hydrocarbon reserves concentrated in some of the most prolific resource plays in North America. The diversified portfolio will include crude oil, liquids and natural gas pipelines, terminal, storage and midstream operations, gas gathering and processing facilities as well as fractionation facilities. The combined company expects to drive significant shareholder value through the following benefits of the Transaction:
i. |
The combined asset base is highly integrated across the value chain and extends the geographical reach of the combined company while enhancing its customer service offering. |
ii. |
The combined company will benefit from diversification across basins and products, as well as customers and currency. |
iii. |
The cash flows of the combined entity will be over 85 percent fee-for-service weighted, ensuring the maintenance of a strong balance sheet. |
iv. |
The Transaction creates an organization of meaningful scale able to pursue larger growth projects. |
"This Transaction is highly strategic for Pembina and Veresen alike, providing clear visibility to creating long-term value for our respective shareholders," said Mr. Randy Findlay, Pembina's Chair of the Board of Directors. "It represents an ideal opportunity to continue building on our respective low-risk, long-term, fee-for-service business models while growing and substantially diversifying our respective asset bases. The combined platform offers compelling customer service offering enhancements, as well as integration and investment potential, exceeding what we could do individually. Combined, these factors give us confidence to increase our dividend by 5.9 percent upon close of the Transaction."
"The creation of an integrated business across the energy infrastructure value chain results in a combined entity that is greater than the sum of its parts," added Mr. Stephen Mulherin, Veresen's Chairman of the Board of Directors. "The combined scale and financial strength, along with a proven track record of safe, on-time and on-budget project delivery, gives us confidence that the collective growth program currently under construction of approximately $6 billion will translate into meaningful value for shareholders. Furthermore, we believe combining these two organizations augments our ability to compete for future investment opportunities and execute on a larger, more complex suite of opportunities than each company on a standalone basis."
Summary of Transaction Terms
Under the terms of the arrangement agreement, Pembina is offering to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Veresen by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Transaction is valued at approximately $9.7 billion including the assumption of Veresen's debt (including subsidiary debt) and preferred shares.
Pembina is offering to acquire all of the outstanding Veresen common shares in exchange for either (i) 0.4287 of a common share of Pembina or (ii) $18.65 in cash, subject to pro-ration based on maximum share consideration of approximately 99.5 million Pembina common shares and maximum cash consideration of approximately $1.523 billion. Assuming full pro-ration, each Veresen shareholder would receive $4.8494 in cash and 0.3172 of a common share of Pembina for each Veresen common share. This offer represents a 21.8 percent premium to Veresen's 20 day weighted average price of $15.31 and a 22.5 percent premium to Veresen's closing share price of $15.23 on April 28, 2017.
The Transaction was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is expected to close late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Transaction is subject to approval of at least 662/3 percent of holders of Veresen's common shares represented in person or by proxy at a special meeting of Veresen common shareholders to be called to consider the Transaction, approval of the Court of Queen's Bench, certain regulatory approvals in Canada and the United States ("U.S."), and other customary conditions. Upon completion of the Transaction, Pembina's common shareholders are expected to own approximately 80 percent of the combined company and Veresen's shareholders are expected to own approximately 20 percent. Affirming their belief in the value of the Transaction, the Board of Directors and executive management of Veresen will elect to receive share consideration.
Furthermore, Veresen will be seeking approval of holders of outstanding Veresen preferred shares to effect the exchange of such shares for Pembina preferred shares with the same terms and conditions as the outstanding Veresen preferred shares. For such exchange to occur at closing of the Transaction, approval of at least 662/3 percent of holders of Veresen's preferred shares is required, voting as one class, represented in person or by proxy at a special meeting of Veresen preferred shareholders to be called to consider the Transaction. Closing of the Transaction is not conditional on the approval of the holders of Veresen's preferred shares.
Benefits of the Combination – Details:
i) The combined asset base is highly integrated across the value chain and extends the geographical reach of the combined company while enhancing its customer service offering.
The success of Pembina's business model is largely predicated on integration along the hydrocarbon value chain in the prolific geographic areas in which it operates. Through its existing gas gathering and processing, conventional pipelines and midstream businesses, which are primarily concentrated in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB"), Pembina provides customers with a comprehensive suite of services from field production to end use markets.
The majority of the combined asset base is already physically connected or presents the opportunity to be connected with relative ease in the future, which allows for operational integration, the potential to realize significant synergies and overall enhancements to customer service. For example, Pembina's Redwater and Empress Facilities are key receipt points on Veresen's Alberta Ethane Gathering System ("AEGS"). Additionally, the AEGS system is connected to Pembina's Vantage Pipeline and Empress Assets, which serves as a key link between Bakken ethane production and the Alberta Petrochemical market.
Veresen is also actively pursuing development of midstream infrastructure in the British Columbia ("B.C.") Montney, which is one of the most prolific resource plays in the WCSB. Veresen is currently progressing construction of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day ("bcf/d") (gross) of gas processing and related compression, gathering and liquids handling network under a long-term, fee-based agreement, with line of sight to sanction additional capital projects to support expected future development. This infrastructure is very complementary to Pembina's approximately 1.7 bcf/d of field gas processing capacity in the Deep Basin, Duvernay and Alberta Montney, as well as its previously announced pipeline expansion and lateral development in the B.C. Montney, which feed into Pembina's $2.4 billion Phase III Expansion (expected to be complete in July 2017).
The enhanced customer service offering will also benefit from a joint interest in the Alliance Pipeline, a marquee North American energy infrastructure asset. With a gross capacity of 1.65 bcf/d, the long-haul pipeline, which is readily expandable to 2.1 bcf/d, transports natural gas produced in the WCSB and the U.S. Bakken into the Chicago market, and enables shippers to access numerous end-use markets. Originating in Northeastern B.C., the Alliance Pipeline serves some of the fastest growing resource plays in western Canada, including the Montney and the Duvernay. The Aux Sable natural gas extraction and fractionation facility is located at the terminus of the Alliance Pipeline. Aux Sable has natural gas processing capacity of 2.1 bcf/d (gross) and natural gas liquids ("NGL") fractionation capacity of 131,500 barrels per day (gross). The opportunities to integrate its gas processing infrastructure in the WCSB with the Alliance Pipeline and Aux Sable will be explored, with the aim of increasing market access for its customers, thereby enhancing its customer service offering.
In addition to allowing for integration along the hydrocarbon value chain and enhanced customer service within existing operating areas, the Transaction also represents an attractive opportunity to meaningfully extend the reach of the joint asset base, creating new opportunities to build an integrated service model in other areas across the continent. As mentioned above, the Alliance Pipeline provides the opportunity to connect a substantial asset base in the WCSB to new end-use markets. There is a similar opportunity with the non-operated preferred interest in the Ruby Pipeline, which extends from the Opal Hub in southwest Wyoming to the Malin Hub in southern Oregon and transports natural gas from the major U.S. Rockies basin to consumers in California, Nevada and the Pacific Northwest.
ii) The combined company will benefit from diversification across basins and products, as well as customers and currency.
The combined company will benefit from a strong position in the WCSB, with Pembina's assets primarily located in the prolific Deep Basin, Duvernay and Alberta Montney being well complemented by Veresen's position in the B.C. Montney.
Combined, Pembina and Veresen will own approximately 5.8 bcf/d (net) of gas processing infrastructure across the WCSB by 2018. The combined infrastructure is very complementary and will be integrated with Pembina's previously announced pipeline expansions in the Alberta and B.C. Montney, including the Company's $2.4 billion Phase III Expansion (expected to be complete in July 2017).
The combined entity will also have exposure to long-life, economic hydrocarbon reserves in key producing basins in the U.S. Rockies, where Pembina does not currently have a position, by way of the Ruby Pipeline. The Ruby Pipeline provides for 1.5 bcf/d (gross) of transportation capacity from numerous resource plays in the U.S. Rockies that present an attractive combination of supportive supply/demand market fundamentals.
Pembina's existing assets are primarily focused on NGL, condensate, crude oil and heavy oil, while Veresen's assets provide size and scale in natural gas midstream infrastructure.
The combined company will attain a more diverse customer base, while creating the opportunity to strengthen relationships with its respective largest customers. Further, the combined company will also benefit from currency diversity, with approximately 25 to 30 percent contribution expected to be in U.S. dollars.
iii) The cash flows of the combined entity will be over 85 percent fee-for-service weighted, ensuring the maintenance of a strong balance sheet.
The management philosophies underlying both Pembina and Veresen are very much aligned, particularly with respect to generating long-term, sustainable shareholder value through low-risk, highly-contracted asset bases and business models.
Through 2018, the combined company is expecting its low-risk, fee-for-service adjusted EBITDA to increase to in excess of 85 percent while pro-forma adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase to $2.55 - $2.75 billion in 2018.
Pembina expects the Transaction to be accretive to adjusted cash flow per share on a run-rate basis beginning in 2018. Executing on longer-term strategic initiatives and growth projects, many of which are described below, provides visibility to meaningfully increasing and extending the expected accretion from the Transaction.
The combined company anticipates realizing significant near-term synergies through the Transaction including, but not limited to, corporate, financing and operating cost savings and tax efficiencies. On a run-rate basis, before tax, these synergies are expected to average $75 to $100 million annually.
The combined entity also anticipates maintaining one of the strongest balance sheets of its Canadian infrastructure peers and preserving its 'BBB' credit rating, with debt to adjusted EBTIDA estimated at approximately 4 times pro-forma the Transaction in 2018.
Subject to successful completion of the Transaction, Pembina intends to increase its monthly common share dividend by 5.9 percent (from $0.17 per common share per month to $0.18 per common share per month) upon closing, reflecting the positive accretion expected beginning in the first full year of ownership, the strong fee-for-service pro-forma cash flow and the combined entity's continued financial strength and diversification.
iv) The Transaction creates an organization of meaningful scale able to pursue larger growth projects.
The combined company, with a pro-forma enterprise value of $33 billion, will be ideally-positioned to execute on Pembina's and Veresen's aggregate secured growth portfolio totaling approximately $6 billion through 2018. The Transaction is expected to result in an organization that has enhanced capabilities to progress projects of increasing scale and complexity than the companies could on a standalone basis.
Together, the combined entity will pursue an ambitious portfolio of both secured and unsecured growth, building on the Company's respective track records of safe, on time and on budget project execution and delivery.
Pembina is nearing the completion of over $4 billion in growth projects this year and is actively working towards longer-term development. In its Midstream business, Pembina continues to advance its proposed propane dehydrogenation and polypropylene facility and recently announced that a site has been identified for a potential propane export terminal. In Pembina's Gas Services business, the Company continues to progress opportunities under the recently announced Duvernay infrastructure agreement and other initiatives to support its customer base in key producing areas.
Veresen is advancing a number of large-scale, longer-term growth opportunities across the energy infrastructure value chain. The entirety of Veresen's approximately $1.5 billion secured growth projects are directly connected into Pembina's Conventional Pipeline infrastructure. Further, the growth projects, both under development and evaluation, in Veresen Midstream, represent attractive opportunities to grow in one of the most prolific resource plays in the WCSB and could provide for additional growth along Pembina's existing value chain. The combination of these projects could also serve to bolster the potential expansion of the Alliance Pipeline, which is currently under discussion.
In addition to the capital discussed above, the combined company is expected to have an unsecured growth portfolio of approximately $20 billion, which provides a strong foundation to support its long-term adjusted cash flow per share growth target of 8 percent to 10 percent.
The combined entity will continue to build upon the momentum of the Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas ("LNG") development project as it progresses toward key regulatory and commercial milestones. Jordan Cove is the most advanced LNG export project on the west coast of North America and can compete with LNG from brownfield expansion in the Gulf of Mexico on a delivered to Tokyo basis.
Additional Transaction Details
The Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the approval of Veresen's common shareholders and the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, as well as certain regulatory and government approvals and other customary closing conditions. In Canada, completion of the Transaction is subject to acceptance of the Toronto Stock Exchange and approval under the Competition Act and the Canada Transportation Act. In the U.S., the Transaction will be subject to the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Pembina currently expects the Transaction will close late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2017.
The arrangement agreement in respect of the Transaction includes customary provisions relating to non-solicitation, fiduciary outs for Veresen with respect to financially superior alternate proposals and Pembina's right to match such proposals until the date of the Veresen shareholders' approval of the Transaction.
The cash consideration associated with the Transaction will be initially funded through the company's $2.5 billion unsecured credit facility. Subsequently, Pembina expects to refinance this with a combination of internally generated cash flows and the issuance of Medium Term Notes and preferred shares.
In addition, a special meeting of the holders of preferred shares of Veresen will be called to approve the Transaction. If the holders of Veresen preferred shares, voting together as a single class, approve the Transaction, each preferred share of Veresen would be exchanged, on a one for one basis, for a new preferred share of Pembina having the same terms and conditions as the Veresen preferred shares. Completion of the Transaction is not conditional upon the approval of the Transaction by holders of Veresen's preferred shares.
If the holders of Veresen's preferred shares do not approve the Transaction, voting as a single class but separate from common shares, the Veresen preferred shares will remain outstanding following completion of the Transaction.
Subject to successful completion of the proposed Transaction, Pembina's Senior Executive Team will be responsible for leading the combined company with Mick Dilger as President and Chief Executive Officer. Further, three of the current members of the Veresen Board of Directors will be appointed to the Pembina Board of Directors at closing of the Transaction and Don Althoff, Veresen's President and Chief Executive Officer will continue to be involved in the combined company. Mr. Findlay will maintain his position as Chair of the Board of Pembina.
Further information regarding the proposed Transaction will be contained in an information circular that Veresen will prepare, file and mail in due course to its shareholders in connection with the common and preferred shareholder meetings. Veresen expects the meeting will take place on or about July 11, 2017, with closing expected to occur as soon as possible thereafter following receipt of the final order of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta and subject to receipt of all the required court and regulatory approvals.
A copy of the arrangement agreement with respect to the Transaction will be filed on Pembina's and Veresen's SEDAR profile and will be available for viewing at www.sedar.com.

In this news release, Pembina has used the terms adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash flow and enterprise value, all of which are non-GAAP measures. For more information about these non-GAAP measures, see the" Non-GAAP Measures" section below. The information contained herein with respect to future adjusted EBITDA is to assist investors in understanding the combined company's expected financial results, and this information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
Throughout this press release, Pembina has used the following terms that are not defined by GAAP but are used by management to evaluate the Transaction. Since non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that non-GAAP measures are clearly defined and qualified.
The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information with respect to the Transaction to investors and analysts though the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as earnings for the year plus share of profit (loss) from equity accounted investees (before tax, depreciation and amortization) plus net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (included in operations and general and administrative expense) and unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments. The exclusion of unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments eliminates the non-cash impact of such gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments for loss (gain) on disposal of assets, transaction costs incurred in respect of acquisitions, impairment charges or reversals and write-downs in respect of goodwill, intangible assets and property plant and equipment, and non-cash provisions. These additional adjustments are made to exclude various non-cash and other items that are not reflective of ongoing operations. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of an issuer's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities. Management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's success.
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a non-GAAP measure which is defined as cash flow from operating activities plus the change in non-cash operating working capital, adjusting for current tax and share-based payment expenses, and deducting preferred share dividends declared. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities excludes preferred share dividends because they are not attributable to common shareholders. The calculation includes current tax and share-based payment expense as it allows management to better assess the obligations discussed below. Management believes that adjusted cash flow from operating activities provides comparable information to investors for assessing financial performance during each reporting period. Management utilizes adjusted cash flow from operating activities to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's ability to meet interest obligations, dividend payments and other commitments. Per common share amounts are calculated by dividing cash flow from operating activities, or adjusted cash flow from operating activities, as applicable, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Total enterprise value is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated by aggregating the market value of common shares, preferred shares and convertible debentures at a specific date plus senior debt less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that total enterprise value provides useful information to investors to assess the overall market value of the Company and as an input to calculate financial ratios. Management utilizes total enterprise value to assess Pembina's growth.

CALGARY, April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or "the Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) is pleased to provide an update on its natural gas liquids value chain strategy. This update includes progress on the Company's plans to develop a west coast liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") export terminal (the "West Coast Terminal" or the "Project") as well as an update regarding activity in the Company's Gas Services business.
West Coast Terminal Update
The Company announced that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Prince Rupert Legacy Inc., (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the City of Prince Rupert) for the Company to develop a West Coast Terminal on Watson Island, lands wholly owned by Prince Rupert Legacy.
Under the LOI, Pembina has commenced site assessment and engagement with key stakeholders including aboriginal communities. Initial assessments of the site indicate it is ideal for the development of an export terminal with a capacity of approximately 20,000 barrels per day of LPG export with an associated capital cost ranging between $125 million and $175 million. Pembina expects a project timeline of two years from final investment decision. The Project is subject to completion of design and engineering requirements, Pembina entering into appropriate definitive agreements, the receipt of necessary environmental and regulatory permits, and the approval of Pembina's Board of Directors.
"Watson Island has promising potential as an LPG export terminal location," said Stuart Taylor, Senior Vice President, NGL & Natural Gas Facilities. "In light of our plans to develop a world-scale polypropylene production facility, the smaller export facility we are contemplating for Watson Island – utilizing smaller ships and ensuring very competitive per-unit export facility costs – makes good sense for Pembina."
Located approximately 15 kilometres south of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, the Watson Island site has many positive attributes which make it an attractive candidate for Pembina's West Coast Terminal. The location features a sheltered berth, existing dock adequate for activities associated with LPG export, as well as well-established rail connections between Redwater, Alberta and Watson Island, while also offering efficient shipping routes to Asian, North, Central, and South American markets. In support of this Project, Pembina has already secured a long-term export permit.
The Company has been working towards the development of an LPG export terminal served by a national railway on the west coast of Canada for the past several years in anticipation of and response to the step change in LPG productive capability of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Pembina's objective with this Project is to provide growing Canadian LPG supply with access to diverse, international markets, while complementing Pembina's expanding integrated service offering for energy products derived from natural gas.
"Pembina is excited to advance its West Coast Propane export strategy," said Mr. Taylor. "This Project, in conjunction with Pembina's proposed integrated propylene and polypropylene production facilities, is evidence of our efforts to find new markets for western Canadian hydrocarbons which should benefit our producer customers, local communities, partners and shareholders."
Gas Services Activity
Pembina continues to work on engineering for several initiatives in the Duvernay area with the aim of expanding its asset base and increasing its level of customer service. The Company is advancing engineering for its 100 million cubic feet per day Duvernay II facility, a replica of its Duvernay I facility, and has begun preliminary engineering for substantial liquids handling and stabilization at the Duvernay I facility site, as well as work to connect Pembina's facilities into alternative sales gas pipelines in response to customer demand in the area. The Duvernay I facility, along with the associated field hub, is expected to come into service on time and on budget in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Pembina is also currently expanding the Kakwa River Facility gathering and inlet facilities to accommodate incremental development along with increasing liquids handling capabilities for Seven Generations Energy. The Company does not expect this work to have a material impact on its 2017 capital budget.
"Our strategic position in the prolific, liquids-rich areas of the Alberta Montney and Duvernay continues to provide opportunities for us to expand our service offering for our customers," said Jaret Sprott, Pembina's Vice President, Gas Services. "We are very encouraged by the increasing level of activity in the areas of our existing and planned facilities."

This news release refers to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") which is a financial measure that is not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). For more information about adjusted EBITDA, see "Non-GAAP Measures" herein.)
CALGARY, April 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that its Board of Directors approved a 6.25 percent increase in its monthly common share dividend rate (from $0.16 per common share to $0.17 per common share), the Company's sixth consecutive annual increase. Pembina also announced a $325 million expansion of its pipeline infrastructure between Lator, Alberta and Namao, Alberta, related to its Phase III Expansion project and provided an updated outlook for 2018 adjusted EBITDA and cost savings on capital projects.
"We are very excited about the dividend increase and these new pipeline expansion projects, and share our updated outlook for 2018," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "These developments build on our already strong start to 2017. We are encouraged by the level of volumes and business development activity we've seen in the early months of the year and our confidence in the outlook for Pembina continues to grow with the near-term completion of large-scale capital projects."
Phase IV & V Peace Pipeline Expansion
Pembina's 420,000 barrels per day ("bpd") Phase III Expansion is nearing completion and continues to trend slightly under budget, with an expected on-time in-service date of July, 2017. Given ongoing customer demand for capacity, Pembina is proceeding with two projects for a total estimated capital cost of $325 million: (i) the Fox Creek and Namao Pump Stations ("Phase IV Expansion"), which is comprised of two pump stations on the newly installed 24" pipeline from Fox Creek to Namao, Alberta and (ii) the Lator to Fox Creek Expansion ("Phase V Expansion"), which is a new, approximately 95 kilometre, 20" pipeline from Lator to Fox Creek, Alberta. Both of these projects are underpinned by long-term, take-or-pay contracts.
Updated Outlook
In late 2015, Pembina's secured capital program was comprised of $5.3 billion of new assets which were scheduled to come into service through 2016 and 2017. Based on this capital program, the Company provided EBITDA guidance indicating that, once in-service, these projects could generate an incremental run-rate annual EBITDA ranging from $600 million to $950 million in 2018, with the upper end of the range depending on utilization above take-or-pay levels and commodity prices. At the time of these disclosures, the outlook for commodity prices remained uncertain, as did levels of activity in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Despite this uncertainty, Pembina also discussed its goal of achieving capital cost savings, which it estimated at the end of 2015 to be approximately $225 million on the overall capital program. With the majority of the remaining projects substantially complete and nearing on-time in-service by mid-year, Pembina is revising its estimated capital cost savings and scope optimizations to approximately $275 million.
Based on the current commodity price environment and volume estimates, Pembina expects 2018 adjusted EBITDA to range from $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion. This range is consistent with Pembina's prior commitment of delivering $600 million to $950 million of incremental fee-for-service EBITDA from the secured capital projects which enter service in 2016 and 2017, in addition to the Kakwa River acquisition in 2016 and higher volumes/pricing across the base business. Based on the above, Pembina expects to deliver on its projection of nearly doubling 2015 adjusted EBITDA by 2018.
"By mid-year, we expect to bring into service the remaining projects that made up the largest capital program in Pembina's history," said Mr. Dilger. "Overall, we have successfully brought these assets into service on-time, on-budget, and most importantly, safely and I believe these remaining projects will be no different. I'm very proud of what our organization has been able to achieve over the past several years and am pleased to share our outlook for 2018 and our expected consolidated capital cost savings."
Dividend Increase & Declaration
With the dividend increase announced today, on April 3, 2017, Pembina's Board of Directors has declared a monthly dividend of $0.17 payable, subject to applicable law, on May 15, 2017 to shareholders of record on April 25th, 2017. For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S. funds, the April 2017 cash dividend is expected to be approximately U.S. $0.1278 per share (before deduction of any applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.7519. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes.
"With anticipated cash flows from the $4 billion of major projects we expect to bring into service in mid-2017, along with growing activity in the basin as evidenced by the pipeline expansions we also announced today and the numerous additional growth opportunities under development, we are confident in our solid foundation for longer-term dividend growth potential and our ability to grow shareholder value over the coming years," said Scott Burrows, Pembina's Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer.
This dividend is designated an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes. For non-resident shareholders, Pembina's common share dividends should be considered "qualified dividends" and are subject to Canadian withholding tax.
Pembina's Board of Directors also declared quarterly dividends for the Company's preferred shares, Series 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. All preferred share dividends are payable on June 1, 2017 to shareholders of record on April 28, 2017.

The forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the above statements, and speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. Readers are cautioned that management of Pembina approved the financial outlooks contained herein as of the date of this press release. The purpose of the financial outlook contained herein is to give the reader an indication of the value to Pembina of the planned capital projects. Readers should be aware that the information contained in the financial outlook contained herein may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Non-GAAP Measures In this news release, Pembina has used the term adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as earnings for the year plus share of profit (loss) from equity accounted investees (before tax, depreciation and amortization) plus net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (included in operations and general and administrative expense) and unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments. The exclusion of unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments eliminates the non-cash impact of such gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments for loss (gain) on disposal of assets, transaction costs incurred in respect of acquisitions, impairment charges or reversals and write-downs in respect of goodwill, intangible assets and property plant and equipment, and non-cash provisions. These additional adjustments are made to exclude various non-cash and other items that are not reflective of ongoing operations. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of the issuer's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities, and is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing an issuer, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance such as revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate this non-GAAP measure differently. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's financial reports, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, March 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a common share cash dividend for March 2017 of $0.16 per share to be paid, subject to applicable law, on April 15, 2017 to shareholders of record on March 25, 2017. This dividend is designated an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes. For non-resident shareholders, Pembina's common share dividends should be considered "qualified dividends" and may be subject to Canadian withholding tax.
For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S. funds, the March 2017 cash dividend is expected to be approximately U.S. $0.1194 per share (before deduction of any applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.7460. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes.
Suspension of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Pembina also announced today that its Board of Directors has suspended, until further notice, its Premium DividendTM[1] and Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"), effective April 25, 2017. Accordingly, the March 2017 dividend will be the last dividend to be reinvested through the DRIP and dividends starting in respect of the April 2017 dividend, payable on May 15, 2017 to shareholders of record on April 25, 2017, will not be reinvested through the DRIP. Shareholders who were enrolled in the program will automatically receive dividend payments in the form of cash. If Pembina elects to reinstate the DRIP in the future, shareholders that were enrolled in the DRIP at suspension and remained enrolled at reinstatement will automatically resume participation in the DRIP.
Pembina is electing to suspend its DRIP in light of the near-term completion of the largest capital spending program in its history and the strength of its balance sheet. These projects are largely underpinned by long-term, fee-for-service contracts, which supports the Company's ability to internally fund new capital projects going forward, without further equity investment, and continue generating sustainable shareholder value on a per share basis.
Confirmation of Record and Payment Date Policy
Pembina pays cash dividends on its common shares in Canadian dollars on a monthly basis to shareholders of record on the 25th calendar day of each month (except for the December record date, which is December 31st), if, as and when determined by the Board of Directors. Should the record date fall on a weekend or a statutory holiday, the effective record date will be the previous business day. The dividend payment date is the 15th of the month following the record date. Should the payment date fall on a weekend or on a holiday the business day prior to the weekend or holiday becomes the payment date.

Highlights
"2016 was a very successful year; I was encouraged to see such strong results amidst the uncertainty that surrounded the oil and gas industry for the majority of the year," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our people worked hard to bring in record operational and financial results during the year, while running our existing businesses safely and responsibly and executing on our significant capital program. Across the board, our many achievements in 2016 are evidence of the merits of sticking to our long-term strategy."
Mr. Dilger added: "I'm very excited for what's sure to be a transformational 2017. We are about to bring into service the largest suite of growth projects in our history. Completion of these projects, along with approximately $1.7 billion of major projects we brought into service throughout 2016, including our Kakwa River facility acquisition, lends confidence in our ability to continue generating long-term and sustainable returns for our shareholders. As we focus on on-time and on-budget delivery of our existing capital program, we are also positioning our company for future opportunities as evidenced by our recent announcement of our Duvernay infrastructure development and service agreement."

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of applicable securities legislation, that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "schedule", "will", "expects", "future", "continue" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, without limitation, the following: Pembina's corporate strategy; planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, expected capacity, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions on existing pipelines, gas services facilities, fractionation facilities, terminalling, storage and hub facilities, facility and system operations and throughput levels; anticipated synergies between assets under development and existing assets of the Company; the future level and sustainability of cash dividends that Pembina intends to pay its shareholders; and expected future cash flows and the sufficiency thereof.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; prevailing interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to lawsuits and environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), adjusted cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from operating activities per common share and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share (also known as "cash flow per share" and "adjusted cash flow per share"), which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Other issuers may calculate these Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended December 31, 2016, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
SOURCE Pembina Pipeline Corporation
CALGARY, Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it has entered into a 20-year infrastructure development and service agreement (the "Agreement") with Chevron Canada Limited ("Chevron").
The Agreement includes an area of dedication by Chevron, in excess of 10 gross operated townships (over 230,000 acres), concentrated in the prolific, liquids-rich Kaybob region of the Duvernay resource play near Fox Creek, Alberta. Under the Agreement and subject to Chevron sanctioning development in the region, Chevron has the right to require Pembina to construct, own and operate gas gathering pipelines and processing facilities, liquids stabilization facilities and other supporting infrastructure for the area of dedication, together with Pembina providing long-term service for Chevron on its pipelines and fractionation facilities. Subject to Chevron and regulatory approvals, the infrastructure developed over the term of this Agreement has the potential to represent a multi-billion dollar investment by Pembina.
"This Agreement represents an ideal long-term growth opportunity for Pembina, as it substantially strengthens our competitive positioning in a world-class resource play with long-life hydrocarbon resources, and provides for the opportunity to deploy a significant amount of capital under a low-risk, long-term commercial framework that aligns with our guard rails," said Stuart Taylor, Pembina's Senior Vice President, NGL & Natural Gas Facilities. "Being selected as the provider of choice for this service demonstrates the advantages associated with our safety record, relationships with the communities and, integrated service offering."
Pembina is ideally suited to develop infrastructure under the Agreement, as gas processing facilities will leverage Pembina's existing 100 million cubic feet per day design, and stabilization infrastructure will be based on the design work for Pembina's previously announced Duvernay Field Hub, which is already under development for Chevron. Further, Pembina is in the process of building out its downstream capacity, which will give line-of-sight to a full suite of midstream and transportation services for Chevron.
"The Agreement is transformational for Pembina's Gas Services business, securing a long-term platform for growth supported by one of the largest lease holders in the Duvernay resource play," said Jaret Sprott, Pembina's Vice President, Gas Services. "Industry has made significant strides in improving the economic viability of the Duvernay and we are looking to further this progress by building a large-scale, strategic, integrated network of assets. Additionally, the Agreement provides for the opportunity to optimize our business to secure incremental third-party volumes."
While this agreement and respective obligations of the parties are binding, infrastructure development remains contingent upon Chevron sanctioning, as well as necessary environmental and regulatory approvals.

CALGARY, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) has received regulatory approval for and initiated construction on its previously announced $235 million expansion of its pipeline infrastructure in northeast British Columbia ("B.C.") (the "NEBC Expansion" or "the Project").
"With regulatory sanctioning of the NEBC Expansion, we have secured approvals for the majority of the projects within our conventional pipelines business," said Paul Murphy, Pembina Senior Vice President, Pipelines & Crude Oil Facilities. "The NEBC Expansion strengthens Pembina's presence within the prolific geology of northeast B.C. and is located in close proximity to a variety of area producers who may have future transportation needs."
The Project entails the construction of approximately 145 kilometres of 12-inch diametre pipeline with a base design capacity of up to 75,000 barrels per day that will parallel much of the existing Blueberry pipeline system northwest of Taylor, B.C. to the Highway/Blair Creek area of B.C. The NEBC Expansion will provide a conduit for natural gas liquids and condensate produced in the liquids-rich Montney resource play to access the Company's downstream pipeline systems that feed into markets in the Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta area. Pembina anticipates bringing the NEBC Expansion on-stream in late 2017.
Customer Update
As disclosed earlier this year, one of Pembina's customers at its Resthaven gas processing facility filed for receivership. Through the receivership process, Pembina continued to provide gas processing services, while a trustee was engaged as receiver to sell the customer's assets. The receiver has finalized a purchase and sale agreement with a privately held corporation. As part of this purchase and sale agreement, Pembina expects that all previously executed agreements with Pembina will be assigned and fully assumed without any modifications. The receiver expects to close the transaction in the first quarter of 2017.
"The approval of our NEBC Expansion and impending resolution to this receivership are a great start to 2017," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are looking forward to the year ahead and the transformation it will bring for our Company and our shareholders as we bring the bulk of our assets under construction into service and start generating associated cash flows."

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of applicable securities legislation, that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "schedule", "will", "expects", "future" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, without limitation, the following: Pembina's corporate strategy; planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, expected capacity, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions on existing, pipelines, gas services facilities, fractionation facilities, terminalling, storage and hub facilities, facility and system operations and throughput levels; and anticipated synergies between acquired assets, assets under development and existing assets of the Company.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue (operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA)), adjusted cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from operating activities per common share and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share (also known as "cash flow per share" and "adjusted cash flow per share") and total enterprise value, which do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"). Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Other issuers may calculate the Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended September 30, 2016, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

Highlights
"During the first half of the year, we continued our strong momentum of executing our growth plans, bringing just over $1 billion of assets into service, excluding our recent acquisition, while adding new assets and projects to our portfolio," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Not only did we complete an acquisition of new gas services infrastructure, we strengthened our foothold in a core area, reached a key regulatory milestone on our largest project, operated safely and reliably, and set the stage for growth beyond 2018. With our committed growth projects, we are on track to deliver significant cash flow per share growth through 2018 and have made meaningful strides to advance longer-term development opportunities."

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of applicable securities legislation, that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "schedule", "will", "expects", "future" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, without limitation, the following: Pembina's corporate strategy; planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, expected capacity, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions on existing, pipelines, gas services facilities, fractionation facilities, terminalling, storage and hub facilities, facility and system operations and throughput levels; and anticipated synergies between acquired assets, assets under development and existing assets of the Company.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; counterparty credit risk; technology and security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), adjusted cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share (also known as "cash flow per share") and total enterprise value. Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Other issuers may calculate the Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended June 30, 2016, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

The supporting infrastructure includes condensate, gas and water field handling (the "Field Hub"), a gas gathering trunk line and a fuel line for a total expected capital cost of approximately $130 million.
The Field Hub is committed under a long-term, fixed-return agreement and will connect to the customer's development well pads providing separation, stabilization and other supporting services. In addition, Pembina will construct a 35 kilometer gas gathering trunk line, which creates a gas gathering backbone between the Tony Creek, Alberta and Fox Creek, Alberta areas that will connect the Field Hub to Pembina's Duvernay I facility. The Field Hub will also connect into Pembina's Peace Pipeline system. To align with the in service date of Duvernay I, Pembina anticipates bringing the Field Hub and the associated infrastructure into service in the second half of 2017, subject to regulatory and environmental approval.
Additionally, Pembina executed a long-term, fee-for-service gas processing agreement at the Duvernay I facility. With this agreement, Duvernay I is now fully contracted and Pembina has begun preliminary engineering on a 'twin' Duvernay II facility.
"Our strategic position in the Duvernay continues to provide opportunities for us to expand our reach and service offering for our customers," said Mr. Jaret Sprott, Pembina's Vice President, Gas Services. "We are also pleased to be strengthening our relationships with large, credit worthy counterparties."

Highlights
"I'm pleased to report that Pembina has started the year off well by delivering another solid quarter including achieving record revenue volumes across our business," commented Scott Burrows, Pembina's Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer. "Additionally, we have increased our dividend by 4.9 percent – which is now the fifth consecutive year that we've increased the dividend and further demonstrates our proven track record and commitment to growing shareholder value."
"Pembina has had a very busy and exciting start to 2016," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "So far this year, we've successfully executed on our capital program by bringing into service approximately $740 million of assets. We've also acquired over $560 million in new gas processing assets that are strategically integrated with our existing asset base in one of our core operating areas and that serve some of the most economic geology in North America. These assets substantially increase our service offering through the addition of sour gas processing and will also provide a platform of future growth opportunities for our company."
"On another exciting note, I am pleased with our recent announcement regarding entering into a joint feasibility study with Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C., for the evaluation of a world-scale combined propane dehydrogenation and polypropylene upgrading facility in Alberta. Building this value-added facility would not only help provide a much-needed local propane demand for our customers, it would also benefit Alberta by providing additional economic activity and tax base. I look forward to the coming months as we undertake a detailed technical, financial and commercial study to confirm this opportunity aligns with our investment criteria."

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, "forward-looking statements"), including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of applicable securities legislation, that are based on Pembina's current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "schedule", "will", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "intends", "should", "estimates", "continue", "could", "forecast" and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance.
In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements, including certain financial outlooks, pertaining to, without limitation, the following: Pembina's corporate strategy and future financial and operating results; future dividends which may be declared on Pembina's common shares; planning, construction, capital expenditure estimates, schedules, expected capacity, incremental volumes, in-service dates, rights, activities and operations with respect to planned new construction of, or expansions on existing, pipelines, gas services facilities, fractionation facilities, terminalling, storage and hub facilities, pipeline, processing, fractionation and storage facility and system operations and throughput levels; anticipated synergies between acquired assets, assets under development and existing assets of the Company; the impact of share price on annual share-based incentive expense; and, the anticipated use of proceeds from financings.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that Pembina has made in respect thereof as at the date of this news release regarding, among other things: oil and gas industry exploration and development activity levels and the geographic region of such activity; the success of Pembina's operations and growth projects; prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates and the ability of Pembina to maintain current credit ratings; the availability of capital to fund future capital requirements relating to existing assets and projects; expectations regarding participation in Pembina's dividend reinvestment plan; future operating costs; geotechnical and integrity costs; that any third-party projects relating to Pembina's growth projects will be sanctioned and completed as expected; that any required commercial agreements can be reached; that all required regulatory and environmental approvals can be obtained on the necessary terms in a timely manner; that counterparties will comply with contracts in a timely manner; that there are no unforeseen events preventing the performance of contracts or the completion of the relevant facilities; that there are no unforeseen material costs relating to the facilities which are not recoverable from customers; interest and tax rates; prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws and regulations; maintenance of operating margins; the amount of future liabilities relating to environmental incidents; and the availability of coverage under Pembina's insurance policies (including in respect of Pembina's business interruption insurance policy).
Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the regulatory environment and decisions; the impact of competitive entities and pricing; labour and material shortages; reliance on key relationships and agreements; the strength and operations of the oil and natural gas production industry and related commodity prices; non-performance or default by counterparties to agreements which Pembina or one or more of its affiliates has entered into in respect of its business; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws and treatment, changes in royalty rates or increased environmental regulation; fluctuations in operating results; adverse general economic and market conditions in Canada, North America and worldwide, including changes, or prolonged weaknesses, as applicable, in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, supply/demand trends and overall industry activity levels; ability to access various sources of debt and equity capital; changes in credit ratings; technology and security risks; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Pembina's public disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
This list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted, forecasted or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Pembina does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information contained herein, except as required by applicable laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from operating activities per common share, adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share and total enterprise value. Since Non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial and operational performance to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Other issuers may calculate the Non-GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to Pembina's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2016, which is available online at www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and through Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.

CALGARY, April 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) is pleased to announce that the Company has received approval from the Alberta Energy Regulator ("AER") relating to the construction of two 270 kilometre, 24 and 16 inch pipelines between Fox Creek and Namao, Alberta (the "Fox Creek to Namao Pipelines"), as part of a series of projects that form the Company's Phase III Expansions ("Phase III Expansion").
Once complete, Pembina will have four pipelines in the Fox Creek to Namao corridor, with an initial total design capacity across the Company's Peace and Northern systems of approximately 900,000 barrels per day that can be further expanded through the addition of pump stations to reach an ultimate capacity of approximately 1.2 million barrels per day. Each of the four pipelines will transport different products (crude oil, condensate, propane-plus and ethane-plus) creating optimal flexibility for Pembina's customers. The construction of the Fox Creek to Namao Pipelines represents a significant portion of the overall Phase III Expansion program.
"Our Phase III Expansion program is the largest capital project in Pembina's history and is poised to have a transformative impact on the future of our company," said Paul Murphy, Pembina's Senior Vice President, Pipeline and Crude Oil Facilities.
"Receiving the approvals to complete the Fox Creek to Namao Pipelines is a major milestone for us and concludes the comprehensive and rigorous regulatory and environmental review that we had initiated over two years ago. Our company has devoted extensive time and effort working on this thorough review and I am pleased by the positive outcome," said Mr. Murphy. "I also personally want to thank all of our staff and external stakeholders that participated in the hearing process and commend all of their considerable efforts and dedication throughout this undertaking."
"Further, we believe the Fox Creek to Namao pipeline approval is encouraging news for our customers, as additional capacity on our system continues to be in demand post our recent NGL, crude oil and condensate Phase II Expansion that went into service in 2015," concluded Mr. Murphy.
Overall, the project is tracking on time and under budget and the Company continues to anticipate an in service date of mid-2017 for the entire Phase III Expansion program.
Pembina is committed to working with all stakeholders by building trusting relationships and operating its business in a safe and responsible manner.

CALGARY, April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or "the Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) is pleased to announce a joint feasibility study with the Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C. ("PIC"), a subsidiary of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, for the evaluation of a world-scale combined propane dehydrogenation ("PDH") and polypropylene upgrading facility in Alberta (the "Project").
This Project represents an opportunity to develop crucial new market demand for propane in the Province of Alberta. Over the past decade, approximately 85 percent of Alberta's propane production has been exported across North America. Developing Alberta based, value-add infrastructure will increase local propane demand benefitting Alberta's oil and gas producers, as well as the Province, by increasing regional economic activity and tax base. The Project could consume approximately 35,000 barrels per day ("bpd") of propane and produce up to 800,000 metric tonnes per year of polypropylene.
The polypropylene would be transported in a pellet form to markets across North America and internationally. Polypropylene is one of the world's most commonly used polymers, traditional uses include automobile plastics, medical supplies, home appliances, transparent containers as well as numerous other applications.
With access to the largest supply of propane in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, Pembina is ideally suited to facilitate the development of this Project. Once the construction of Pembina's remaining third fractionator is complete, Pembina will have over 200,000 bpd of fractionation capacity and will control approximately 60,000 bpd of propane supply in the Fort Saskatchewan area, as well as additional supply originating from Empress, Alberta.
Pembina and PIC will undertake a detailed technical, financial and commercial study to confirm if the development of the Project is economically feasible and aligns with each party's respective investment criteria. This study is expected to take approximately six months, followed by Pembina and PIC approval to proceed to Front End Engineering Design. The final investment decision is expected to be made by the middle of 2017. Subject to regulatory, environmental and Pembina's Board of Directors' approval, the Project is expected to be in service by 2020.
"This Project potentially builds on both Pembina's position as the largest supplier to Alberta's existing petrochemical industry, as well as being one of Canada's leading energy infrastructure companies," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Developing this Project represents another natural extension of our natural gas liquids value chain and is a logical step for additional seamless integration with our existing asset base."
"PIC is very excited to be evaluating the feasibility of the Project," said Mohammed Abdullatif Al-Farhoud, PIC's Chief Executive Officer. "Alberta represents a very attractive market to develop large-scale petrochemical infrastructure, as it is supported by long-term feedstock security, a supportive local government and complements the existing asset base of a number of PIC's and related companies operating in Alberta. Moreover, this opportunity further supports PIC's continued efforts in expanding its business portfolio globally. PIC is always in search for exceptional investment and partnership opportunities, especially in the promising regions with advantageous feedstock and market."

CALGARY, March 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or "the Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) is pleased to provide an update regarding commissioning and other developments for projects within the Company's Midstream business.
Crude Oil Midstream
Pembina's crude oil midstream business continues to progress its Canadian Diluent Hub ("CDH"). CDH is expected to be the primary access point for Oilsands producers to source a significant and growing supply of domestically produced condensate, from the Montney, Deep Basin and Duvernay developments delivered from Pembina's Peace Pipeline and Redwater Fractionators. The Company has agreements in place for downstream connections to third-party diluent pipelines. The interconnections with multiple diluent pipelines represents an initial aggregate take-away capacity in excess of 400,000 barrels per day ("bpd"). A detailed Class 3 engineering estimate for the infrastructure is complete and long-lead equipment orders are being finalized. As a result of project optimization and lower forecast costs, the expected capital cost of the project is now approximately $250 million, reduced from the original $350 million previously announced. The in-service date of the project is expected to be mid-2017, subject to regulatory and environmental approval.
In March, Pembina commissioned three new storage tanks at its Edmonton North Terminal ("ENT"). These storage tanks will provide a total of 550,000 barrels of additional crude oil storage capacity, more than doubling the total capacity of ENT. Originally expected to be placed into service in mid-2016 with an anticipated capital cost of $75 million, the project was completed both ahead of schedule and under budget. "This large scale expansion of ENT will enhance the operations of Pembina's Crude Oil Midstream business and provide additional optionality for our customers," said Bob Jones, Pembina's Vice President, Midstream Crude Oil & Condensate.
Natural Gas Liquids Midstream
Pembina's Natural Gas Liquids Midstream business will have commissioned the second 73,000 bpd fractionator at the Company's Redwater complex ("RFS II") by the end of March. RFS II was completed substantially on budget and one quarter later than originally expected. Underpinning RFS II are ten year, take-or-pay agreements for the entire operating capacity of the facility. Additionally, the design of RFS II benefits from significant operational improvements and other modifications that have been made to Pembina's existing Redwater fractionator over the years.
With RFS II in service by the end of March, Pembina's Redwater fractionation capacity will more than double to 155,000 bpd, inclusive of the previously announced debottleneck of the existing fractionator. "The completion of RFS II is a significant milestone for Pembina's Midstream business and represents the first new fractionator built in Alberta in 20 years," said Robert Lock, Pembina's Vice President, Natural Gas Liquids.
"By commissioning RFS II and the new storage tanks at ENT and advancing CDH, Pembina continues to progress our strategic objectives of developing large-scale, fee-for-service assets that provide high value services to our customers," said Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Most importantly, our exemplary safety and operations record was maintained across all of these projects from construction through to commissioning – which is even more impressive, given both ENT and RFS II were constructed within operating facilities."

The Transaction will add 250 million cubic feet per day ("mmcf/d") of processing capacity in one of Pembina's core areas. This will increase total processing capacity under Pembina's Gas Services business to over 1.7 billion cubic feet per day ("bcf/d"), inclusive of the Musreau III and the Resthaven expansions which are expected to be on-stream by mid-2016, making Pembina one of the largest third-party gas processors serving the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
Key Transaction highlights include:
"I am very excited to announce our agreement to acquire these assets," said Jaret Sprott, Pembina's Vice President, Gas Services. "The acquisition of these assets strengthens Pembina's strategic positioning in one of our core areas, supported by some of the most economic resource plays in North America. Pembina looks forward to expanding on its long-term relationship with Paramount by broadening its service offering to include sour natural gas processing services, in addition to liquids transportation and natural gas liquids fractionation services. The combination of Pembina's large-scale integrated value chain and Paramount's substantial Montney and Cretaceous land position, creates significant opportunities for future infrastructure development. Furthermore, this transaction builds on a long-term track record of driving significant shareholder value through acquisitions."
Description of the Acquired Assets
Kakwa Assets
The Kakwa Assets are comprised of a recently constructed natural gas processing facility located approximately 15 kilometres from Pembina's existing Cutbank Complex with raw gas processing capacity of 250 mmcf/d, including a 200 mmcf/d deep cut train, a 50 mmcf/d shallow cut train and 22,500 barrels per day ("bbls/d") of condensate stabilization. The Kakwa Assets also include an amine processing train to facilitate sour gas processing at the facility, and is the only sour gas processing facility west of the Smoky River within 50 kilometres. Additionally, the Kakwa Assets include gas gathering pipelines, sales gas transportation pipelines and future disposal wells. The Kakwa Assets are connected to Pembina's conventional pipelines for natural gas liquids and condensate transportation services, as well as connected to Pembina's Cutbank Complex, via an existing pipeline operated by Paramount. The shallow cut and deep cut facilities were placed into service in the first quarter of 2012 and August 2014, respectively.
6-18 Facility
Paramount has secured site licenses and undertaken preliminary engineering work to support the construction of a new sour shallow cut facility to be located approximately seven kilometers from Pembina's Cutbank Complex. As part of the Transaction, Pembina will acquire all of Paramount's preliminary engineering studies, licenses and surface rights for the proposed facility. Upon Paramount's election or sufficient third-party demand, subject to certain conditions, Pembina will construct a sour natural gas processing facility at 6-18. If built, commercial provisions underlying the 6-18 Facility are expected to be similar to the Kakwa Assets and include a substantial take-or-pay commitment.
Additional Transaction Details
Pembina has agreed to fund a debottlenecking initiative supporting the Kakwa Assets, for approximately $35 million. In addition, Pembina has agreed to optimize existing transportation agreements to match Paramount's anticipated production growth but keeps Pembina whole on a net present value basis. The purchase price will be funded by net proceeds from the Company's concurrently announced bought deal common share financing and existing capacity under the Company's $2 billion revolving credit facility. Completion of the Transaction is subject to approval under the Competition Act (Canada) and other customary closing conditions. The Transaction will close following receipt of Competition Act (Canada) approval, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2016.
Dividend Increase
In connection with the Transaction, Pembina's Board of Directors has approved a monthly common share dividend increase of $0.0075 per common share, which is an increase of the same amount as announced in 2015. The increase from $0.1525 per common share to $0.16 per common share denotes a 4.9 percent increase, which is expected to start with the dividend payable, subject to applicable laws, on May 13, 2016 to shareholders of record on April 25, 2016. While the decision to increase the dividend by the Board of Directors at this time was a direct result of the Transaction and the expected benefits therefrom, the Board of Directors considers many factors in determining the payment of dividends.
"For the fifth consecutive year, we are pleased to provide our shareholders with an increase in our monthly common share dividend," said Scott Burrows, Pembina's Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer. "The resilience of our business in-spite of a challenging commodity price environment demonstrates the strength of our integrated value chain. Incremental cash flow from the $1.3 billion of new fee-for-service assets placed into service in 2015, along with the contribution from the acquired assets announced today, creates the opportunity for Pembina to confidently increase our dividend. Pembina remains committed to enhancing shareholder value through the development of a large-scale, majority fee-for-service asset base, supporting long-term dividend growth potential."

CALGARY, March 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) today announced that the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench (the "Court") has granted an order that stays, on an interim basis, the Alberta Energy Regulator ("AER") from issuing its written hearing decision on the Company's Fox Creek to Namao, Alberta expansion pipeline project (the "Project").
The interim stay was granted following a last minute application made by the Alexander First Nation ("Alexander") for orders requesting an injunction of the AER decision process or preventing the AER from issuing its written hearing decision for the Project. The Court did not consider the merits of the Alexander injunction application, but ordered that the application proceed to adjudication expeditiously.
The focus of Alexander's concern appears to be a small portion of the Project that would be constructed in proximity to lands owned or controlled by Alexander and lands that it may seek to potentially purchase in the future on the assumption there is a willing seller (the "Potential Purchase Area"). Alexander's arguments in this regard were previously rejected by the AER at the hearing. The AER's statutory mandate is to provide for the efficient, safe, orderly and environmentally responsible development of energy resources in Alberta. Pembina expects that a second consideration of these matters, this time by the Court, will yield a similar result.
Pembina has secured binding rights of way required for the construction of the Project in the Potential Purchase Area from all affected landowners. These lands are currently in general farming use and owned privately by individuals who are not members of or otherwise affiliated with Alexander.
Pembina initially submitted its application to the AER on September 4, 2014 for the Project. Pembina underwent a rigorous and comprehensive public hearing between October and December of 2015, which allowed all stakeholders to participate. Alexander was one of the stakeholders that participated. As required under its enabling legislation, the AER is required to issue its written hearing decision on the Project within 90 days of the close of the hearing. Such 90 day period was set to conclude on March 17, 2016.
Pembina is committed to working with all stakeholders by building trust and operating its business in a safe and responsible manner. As such, Pembina has previously explored numerous routing alternatives and expects to be able to complete the Project on time and on budget.

2015 Highlights
"I am very proud to report that 2015 was another milestone year for Pembina," said Scott Burrows, Pembina's Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer. "During 2015, we successfully and safely placed into service over $1.3 billion of new projects which, along with the sound and reliable operations of our underlying business, supported our record volumes and allowed us to achieve our highest ever annual financial metrics including operating margin, EBITDA and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per share."
"While the energy markets have changed dramatically during 2015 compared to the previous year, we continue to deliver solid results through these challenging times faced by our industry," continued Mr. Burrows. "Given this market volatility, it is important that I reiterate our goals at Pembina have not changed and we remain focused on doing the important things right, which includes operating our business safely and reliably, successfully executing on our growth plans, working to achieve our cost savings goal of $225 million and taking a prudent approach to maintaining and growing shareholder value. Pembina has always been a dividend-paying company and our management and Board are very proud of the fact that we have never cut the dividend and have increased it over the last four consecutive years, which includes the 5.2 percent increase we announced during 2015."
"We are also pleased with the continued access to capital that we have achieved, raising approximately $2.3 billion (including our Dividend Reinvestment Program) of capital in 2015, as well as completing our most recent $170 million preferred share offering, subsequent to year end. Heading into 2016 with record capital expenditures ahead of us, we are confident in our ability to fund our capital program," concluded Mr. Burrows.
Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer commented: "Further highlighting our operational achievements over 2015, I am very pleased to report that we have reached record throughput levels in both our Conventional Pipelines and Gas Services businesses, where annual revenue volumes increased 7 and 27 percent, respectively. We are also continuing to see strong operational results into 2016, where our Conventional Pipelines average revenue volumes were in excess of 650 thousand barrels per day in the month of January – our strongest month yet."
"On an even more important note, I also want to commend our staff on our exceptional safety record. We have now achieved two consecutive years without any employee lost-time injuries, where employees have worked over 5.1 million hours since the beginning of 2014 and 18 percent more hours in 2015 compared to 2014. This remarkable track record demonstrates our safety-first culture and complete dedication by our staff – safety is truly a way of life here at Pembina."
"We are now at a point where we will be bringing new assets online almost every quarter into 2017. These projects are backed by firm contracts with our customers and will serve to further de-risk our business by providing incremental, stable, contracted cash flow streams and ultimately growing the bottom line for our shareholders. In fact, almost 80 percent of our 2015 EBITDA was generated from fee-for-service contracts and we forecast this to exceed 80 percent by 2018, given current commodity strip pricing."
"Other achievements during 2015 include announcing a further $600 million of new capital projects, substantially backed by long-term, fee-for-service contracts, and having also brought in over $1.3 billion of new, fee-for-service projects into service, which going forward will add between $100 and $150 million of incremental run-rate EBITDA, depending on utilization. We are also continuing to progress a further $5.3 billion of growth projects, which in 2018 is estimated to add between $600 and $950 million of incremental run-rate EBITDA, depending on utilization. This will be a transformative milestone for us and is something we are very excited about."
"On another matter, we understand that the current environment is difficult for our customers. We value these relationships and are committed to continually work with our customers to do what we can to decrease our operating costs in order to help support and improve producer net backs."
"Further, helping the communities we operate in is more important than ever during these times, and is why I'm proud of the community programs Pembina and our employees support by committing time volunteering and through donations. We are confident that our investment of time and funds has the profound potential to make a difference in our communities – especially during times when it is needed the most."
"Overall, 2015 has been a year of many successes and has also been a year of challenges, given the current macroeconomic environment. I remain cautiously optimistic that we can overcome today's current headwinds and continue to provide sustainable returns for our shareholders for many years to come," concluded Mr. Dilger.
2015 Financial Review
Pembina delivered solid financial and operational results in 2015 with record throughput, EBITDA, operating margin, cash and adjusted cash flow per share, demonstrating the financial resilience of Pembina's fee-for-service business model. Revenue was $4.6 billion and $1.2 billion for the full year and fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $6.1 billion and $1.3 billion in the same periods of 2014, largely a result of the reduced commodity prices that also positively impacted the cost of product purchases. The Company's Conventional Pipelines and Gas Services businesses had an increase in revenue of 22 percent and 27 percent during 2015 compared to 2014. This strong performance resulted from higher volumes and new assets being placed in service and was complemented with the steady results in the Oil Sands and Heavy Oil business. For the full year, net revenue (revenue less cost of goods sold including product purchases) in 2015 was $1.5 billion, consistent with 2014 and $407 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to $304 million for the same period in 2014. Net revenue in the Midstream business declined by 22 percent as compared to 2014, largely due to lower commodity prices, and, to a lesser extent, tighter price differentials across most commodities.
Operating expenses were $426 million for the full year in 2015, compared to $401 million during the same period of 2014, with the increase primarily due to the addition of assets, offset by the sale of the Company's non-core trucking subsidiary in its Midstream business recognized in the second quarter of 2014. For the fourth quarter of 2015, operating expenses were $110 million compared to $117 million in the same period of 2014. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in operating expenses was primarily related to timing of integrity spending in the Company's Conventional Pipelines business, which was partially offset by the addition of new assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, operating margin was $1,118 million compared to $1,078 million in 2014 primarily due to increases in the Company's Conventional Pipelines and Gas Services businesses from new assets being placed in service and increased volumes, offset by decreases in the Midstream business. The Oil Sands and Heavy Oil business maintained a reliable contribution to the operating margin with a two percent year-over-year increase. During the fourth quarter of 2015, operating margin was $304 million compared to $195 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily due to increased contribution from the Company's Conventional Pipelines and Midstream businesses. Pembina's Midstream business results in 2014 were impacted by an inventory impairment recognized in the fourth quarter and overall higher cost of product which reduced net revenue.
Depreciation and amortization included in operations during 2015 was $249 million compared to $216 million for the full year of 2014. This increase was primarily due to the year-over-year growth in Pembina's asset base primarily associated with the Company's pipeline expansions, the Vantage pipeline acquisition, in addition to certain useful life adjustments partially offset by decreased amortization in the Midstream business associated with intangibles that were fully depreciated in the prior year and the sale of a non-core trucking related subsidiary. In the fourth quarter of 2015, depreciation and amortization included in operations rose to $73 million compared to $62 million in the same period last year primarily due to new assets in service.
Gross profit for 2015 was $866 million compared to $876 million for 2014 due to increased operating margin offset by a greater increase in depreciation and amortization included in operations. In the fourth quarter of 2015, gross profit was $237 million compared to $144 million in 2014. This quarter-over-quarter increase was a result of increased operating margin partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization included in operations and increased unrealized mark-to-market positions of commodity-related derivative financial instruments.
The Company's general and administrative expenses (excluding corporate depreciation and amortization) remained relatively consistent year over year. For the year ending December 31, 2015, Pembina incurred general and administrative expenses (excluding corporate depreciation and amortization) of $143 million compared to $146 million in 2014. Increased salary, benefit and rent expenses due to increased staff to support new in-service assets were offset by decreased short and long-term incentives. General and administrative expenses (excluding corporate depreciation and amortization) for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased to $36 million as compared to $25 million in the same period of 2014. These increases were primarily due to fluctuations in the share price and the impact on long-term incentive expenses incurred in the quarter as compared to the previous year. Every $1 change in share price is expected to change Pembina's annual share-based incentive expense by approximately $1 million.
Pembina generated EBITDA of $955 million in 2015, a $35 million increase over 2014 EBITDA of $920 million. The increase was largely due to higher operating margin as described above. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $260 million, compared to $170 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was due to higher operating margin partially offset by the quarter-over-quarter increase in general and administrative expenses and other expenses. Other expenses in 2015 include a $13 million de-recognition of costs related to the propane export terminal project and an $8 million loss on the sale of linefill.
Net finance costs totalled $71 million in 2015, a $59 million decrease from $130 million recognized in 2014. This decrease is largely attributable to the change in fair value of the conversion feature on the series E and F convertible debentures ("Conversion Feature"). The Conversion Feature was impacted by the reduction in the principal outstanding, primarily as a result of the October 13, 2015 redemption of the series E convertible debentures, as well as changes in the share price. In 2015, Pembina recognized a gain on revaluation of $40 million, compared to a loss on revaluation of $41 million in 2014. Partially offsetting the decreased costs were interest expenses on loans and borrowings, which increased from $90 million in 2014 to $103 million in 2015, as a result of an increased level of outstanding loans and borrowings to fund growth capital. Net finance costs incurred during the fourth quarter of 2015 were $22 million compared to income of $9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. This increase is largely attributable to the revaluation of the Conversion Feature identified above.
Income tax expense for 2015 totalled $199 million, including current tax of $41 million and deferred tax of $158 million, compared to income tax expense of $167 million in 2014, including current tax of $103 million and deferred tax of $64 million. Current tax expense for 2015 was lower than the comparable period in 2014 predominantly due to lower taxable income allocations from deferral partnerships in our corporate structure. The increase in deferred tax expense in the current quarter is mainly attributable to an increase in the income tax rate and higher taxable temporary differences between book and tax basis. Alberta's Finance Minister increased the general corporate tax rate from 10 percent to 12 percent, effective July 1, 2015. Income tax expense was $31 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, including current tax recovery of $19 million and deferred tax of $50 million, compared to $39 million, including current tax expense of $28 million and deferred tax of $11 million in the same period of 2014. The decrease in current taxes is attributable to a decrease in taxable income in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the prior year for the same reasons as noted above. The increase in deferred taxes was due to the increase in the income tax rate previously noted.
The Company's earnings increased six percent to $406 million ($1.02 per common share-basic) in 2015 compared to $383 million ($1.07 per common share-basic) in 2014. The increase was most significantly impacted by the increased operating margin and lower net finance costs offset by increased deferred tax and depreciation and amortization expenses in 2015. For the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company's earnings increased $46 million to $130 million ($0.32 per common share-basic) compared to $84 million ($0.22 per common share-basic) during the fourth quarter of 2014. This was driven by higher operating margin slightly offset by higher net finance costs as well as increased general and administrative and depreciation and amortization expenses recognized in the fourth quarter. The per common share amounts were impacted by the increase in the number of common shares outstanding largely as a result of the dividend reinvestment plan, convertible debenture redemptions and conversions and the November 19, 2015 common share issuance.
Cash flow from operating activities remained relatively consistent year over year. Cash flow from operating activities was $801 million ($2.31 per common share-basic) for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $800 million ($2.45 per common share-basic) in 2014. Increased operating margin and a decreased change in non-cash working capital was offset by increased taxes paid in 2015. Cash flow from operating activities increased $89 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. Cash flow from operating activities was $285 million ($0.79 per common share-basic) during the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $196 million ($0.58 per common share-basic) for the same period in 2014 primarily due to increased operating margin and payments received and deferred.
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities increased $101 million to $878 million ($2.53 per common share-basic) in 2015 as compared to $777 million ($2.38 per common share-basic) during 2014. The increase was primarily due to increased operating margin and lower current tax and share-based compensation expenses offset by increased preferred share dividends declared. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities increased in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to 2014. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities was $280 million ($0.77 per common share-basic) in 2015 as compared to $164 million ($0.49 per common share-basic) during the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase is largely due to higher operating margin and lower current tax, offset by an increase in preferred share dividends declared.

New Developments in 2015 and Growth Projects Update
Conventional Pipelines
Pembina has been successful in its commercial efforts to secure the majority of its existing crude oil, NGL and condensate volumes under long-term, firm-service contracts. In aggregate, and including contracted volumes on the Vantage pipeline, Pembina currently has secured 777 mbpd of firm service contracts of crude oil, condensate and NGL across its Conventional Pipelines business once all expansions are placed into service.
Pembina commissioned its Phase II HVP expansion in September 2015. In conjunction with the Phase II LVP portion of the expansion, which was placed into service in April 2015, the entire Phase II Expansion is now in service. In aggregate, the Phase II Expansion has increased the Peace and Northern systems' capacity by 108 mbpd and is underpinned by five to ten-year contracts with substantial take-or-pay commitments from 40 customers.
Pembina continues work on its Phase III pipeline expansions ("Phase III Expansion"), which included bringing into service a 70 kilometre, 16-inch pipeline segment from Kakwa to Simonette in 2015. To date, the Company has completed 30 percent of the overall Phase III Expansion program and estimates the total capital cost to be $2.4 billion.
The Phase III Expansion also includes two pipelines between Fox Creek and Namao, Alberta (one 16-inch diameter and one 24-inch diameter) which would provide an initial combined capacity of 420 mbpd. The Alberta Energy Regulator ("AER") hearing for the project concluded in the fourth quarter of 2015 and Pembina expects to receive an AER written decision near the end of the first quarter of 2016. Subject to regulatory and environmental approvals, the Company continues to anticipate an in-service date of mid-2017.
As part of the Company's plans to expand its gathering presence in Alberta and British Columbia ("B.C."), Pembina completed its lateral in the Willesden Green area of Alberta during 2015 and is continuing work on its pipeline lateral in the Karr area of Alberta (the "Karr Lateral") which will service production from the Montney resource play and will access the Company's Phase III Expansion. All approvals have been received and construction has now commenced. Generally due to unseasonably warm weather, the project is tracking above budget; however, the contract largely protects Pembina from a cost risk perspective. Pembina continues to anticipate an in-service date of early 2016.
Pembina is continuing to progress its pipeline infrastructure in northeast B.C. (the "NEBC Expansion"). The NEBC Expansion, which is underpinned by a long-term, cost-of-service agreement with an anchor tenant, will transport condensate and NGL for various producers in the liquids-rich Montney resource play. To date, engineering is 90 percent complete and applications for regulatory and environmental approvals have now been submitted. The NEBC Expansion has an expected capital cost of $220 million and is anticipated to be in service in late 2017, subject to regulatory and environmental approvals.
In early 2016, subsequent to year end, Pembina entered into agreements for the construction of a new pipeline lateral in the Altares area of B.C. (the "Altares Lateral") which will transport production from the Montney resource play and will connect into Pembina's NEBC Expansion for an expected capital cost of $70 million. The Altares Lateral, underpinned by a long-term, cost-of-service agreement, is expected to have initial capacity of approximately 17 mbpd with an in-service date of mid-2017, subject to environmental and regulatory approval.
As announced in February 2015, Pembina continues to progress its expansion of the Vantage pipeline system (the "Vantage Expansion") for an estimated capital cost of $85 million. Supported by a long-term, fee-for-service agreement with a take-or-pay component, the Vantage Expansion will increase the mainline capacity from 40 mbpd to 68 mbpd through the addition of mainline pump stations and the construction of a gathering lateral. All regulatory and environmental approvals have now been received and construction of the gathering lateral is now complete with final commissioning work underway. Construction of the pump stations has now begun, and to date, the project cost is expected to be under budget. Pembina originally expected the Vantage Expansion to be completed in early 2016; however, due to a third-party plant delay, the Company expects to place it into service in the third quarter of 2016, with the contract commencing on August 1, 2016.
Pembina's projects and existing pipeline networks continue to have expansion capacity available to meet the needs of future developments currently under evaluation by its customers. Capacity increases to meet the Company's customers' existing and future demands can often be achieved through simple upgrades, such as adding new pump stations, which can be installed in less than 18 months. For example, adding pump stations to the Phase III Expansion could increase capacity from 420 mbpd to 680 mbpd in the Fox Creek to Edmonton corridor for an aggregate capacity on the Peace and Northern systems of 1,200 mbpd.
Gas Services
During the fourth quarter and full year 2015, Pembina continued to advance its growth projects as well as place new assets into service within the Gas Services business.
As previously announced in November, Pembina will construct, own and operate a new 100 MMcf/d shallow cut gas plant ("Duvernay I") in close proximity to the Company's Fox Creek Terminal for an expected capital cost, including supporting infrastructure, of $125 million. Duvernay I, which is underpinned by a substantial take-or-pay agreement with a large, diversified, investment-grade customer, will leverage the design of Pembina's Musreau II and the Musreau III facility ("Musreau III"). Duvernay I will be the first large-scale gas processing plant designed specifically for the Duvernay and creates a new growth platform for the Company. As part of this development, NGL production from Duvernay I will be transported on Pembina's Peace Pipeline under a long-term, take-or-pay agreement as well as fractionated under another agreement at the Company's Redwater site. Pembina has now received AER approval for the gas plant and is currently awaiting approval for the associated pipeline in relation to this project. The Company anticipates bringing Duvernay I in service in the second half of 2017, subject to the remaining environmental and regulatory approvals.
In late August, Pembina commissioned its Saturn II and SEEP facilities. Saturn II was placed into service ahead of schedule and under budget and SEEP was placed into service on time and also under budget. With the Saturn II and SEEP facilities in service, Pembina's Gas Services' capacity has increased 26 percent from 1.0 to 1.3 billion cubic feet per day ("bcf/d").
Plant construction of Pembina's 100 MMcf/d expansion of Resthaven (the "Resthaven Expansion") is ongoing. The overall project is approximately 80 percent complete and has an estimated capital cost of $105 million. In September, Pembina placed the gathering pipeline associated with the Resthaven Expansion into service. In advance of the Resthaven Expansion being placed into service, the newly commissioned pipeline is able to provide additional gas volumes for the Company's existing Resthaven facility. Pembina expects the Resthaven Expansion, which is underpinned by a fee-for-service agreement with a substantial take-or-pay component, to be in service in mid-2016.
The Company continues to advance its 100 MMcf/d shallow cut Musreau III facility, which is being built adjacent to Pembina's existing Musreau I facility ("Musreau I") and Musreau II. Regulatory and environmental approvals have been received and the overall project is approximately 75 percent complete and is tracking under budget from the original expected cost of $105 million. Pembina anticipates bringing Musreau III, which is underpinned by long-term, take-or-pay agreements, on-stream in mid-2016.
Once the facilities under development described above are in service, Pembina expects Gas Services' processing capacity to reach approximately 1.6 bcf/d, including deep cut capacity of 900 MMcf/d. The volumes from Pembina's existing assets and those under development will be processed largely on a contracted, fee-for-service basis and results in condensate and NGL to be transported for additional toll revenue on Pembina's Conventional Pipelines.
Midstream
In December 2015, Pembina completed the construction of its second Redwater fractionator, a 73 mbpd ethane-plus fractionator at the Company's Redwater site ("RFS II"). RFS II is anticipated to be completed generally on budget from the estimated $415 million capital cost and is currently being commissioned with an expectation of being on stream by the end of March 2016 (one quarter later than originally expected).
Pembina is also advancing its third fractionator at Redwater ("RFS III") for an estimated capital cost of $400 million, which will have propane-plus capacity of 55 mbpd. Regulatory and environmental approval has been received and over 50 percent of all long-lead items have arrived onsite with construction of pilings and foundations now complete. Pembina expects RFS III to be in service in the third quarter of 2017 and, once complete, Pembina's Redwater site will be the largest fractionation facility in Canada with a total of 210 mbpd of fractionation capacity.
Pembina is progressing work to provide terminalling services for the North West Redwater Partnership ("North West") with respect to North West's planned refinery for an expected capital cost of $180 million. Underpinned by a long-term fixed return agreement and a long-term NGL mix purchase and sale agreement related to RFS III, the terminalling services include truck and rail loading, storage, as well as handling and processing equipment for a variety of products delivered from North West. Detailed engineering and procurement is 40 percent complete with substantially all long-lead mechanical items ordered. Subject to regulatory and environmental approvals, the storage services are expected to be in service in early 2017, with the remaining facilities to be phased in with final completion expected by late 2017.
Pembina continues to advance a detailed class three engineering estimate associated with the proposed Canadian Diluent Hub ("CDH"). Subject to further regulatory and environmental approvals, Pembina anticipates phasing in additional connections to various condensate delivery systems with a view to achieving full connectivity and service offerings at CDH in mid-2017.
At the Edmonton North Terminal ("ENT"), Pembina has now completed construction of three above ground storage tanks, which have a total working capacity of 550 thousand barrels, with the electrical work nearing completion and the mechanical integration continuing to be progressed. The project is estimated to have a capital cost of $75 million and is tracking on budget and on schedule to be in service in mid-2016.
At its NGL storage and terminalling facilities in Corunna, Ontario, Pembina is progressing a number of initiatives including the installation of a new brine pond, upgrades to its rail rack and construction of a new propane truck rack to meet increased demand for services. The propane racks were completed in December 2015, with remaining construction underway for the brine pond and rail racks. The remainder of the project is expected to be in service in early 2016.
Pembina remains committed to providing market access solutions for its customers by developing a North American west coast propane export terminal. Pembina is currently evaluating multiple potential west coast sites; however, the Company has decided that it will no longer pursue the previously announced Portland, Oregon location.
Oil Sands & Heavy Oil
In June 2015, Pembina announced that it will expand its existing Horizon Pipeline System (the "Horizon Expansion"), underpinned by a fixed return, long-term agreement, for an estimated capital cost of $125 million. The Horizon Expansion will increase the pipeline's capacity up to 250 mbpd, which will be achieved by upgrading mainline pump stations and other facility modifications, as required. Engineering work is now complete, most regulatory and environmental approvals have been received and civil construction is underway. The Horizon Expansion is expected to be in service mid-2016.
Financing Activity
On February 2, 2015, Pembina closed an offering of $600 million of senior unsecured medium-term notes. The offering was conducted in two tranches: gross proceeds of $450 million in senior unsecured medium-term notes, Series 5, having a fixed coupon of 3.54 percent per annum, paid semi-annually, and which mature on February 3, 2025 and gross proceeds of $150 million through the re-opening of Pembina's Series 3, 4.75 percent medium-term notes, which mature April 30, 2043.

Although Pembina believes the expectations and material factors and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that these expectations, factors and assumptions will prove to be correct.

Non-GAAP and Additional GAAP Measures
In this news release, Pembina has used the terms net revenue, operating margin, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from operating activities per common share and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share. Since Non-GAAP and Additional GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that Non-GAAP and Additional GAAP financial measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP and Additional GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods. The intent of Non-GAAP and Additional GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Other issuers may calculate the Non-GAAP and Additional GAAP measures differently. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance. For additional information regarding Non-GAAP and Additional GAAP measures, including reconciliations to measures recognized by GAAP, please refer to the MD&A, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
