Enbridge's Q3 Profit More than Doubles on Acquisition Contributions
11.04.2024 By Tank Terminals - NEWS

November 04, 2024 [Reuters]- Enbridge’s third-quarter profit more than doubled from a year ago, the Canadian energy infrastructure company said on Friday, citing incremental contributions from U.S. gas acquisitions, and it raised its estimate of organic growth opportunities.

 

The Calgary-based company, which owns Canada’s biggest oil export network and is North America’s largest gas utility, said it has C$27 billion ($19.40 billion) of secured growth projects, up from C$24 billion previously.

New investments included the $1.1 billion Sequoia Solar project in Texas and the $700 million offshore Canyon System Pipelines project on the U.S. Gulf Coast.

“Enbridge has seen increased visibility of our long-term growth supported by strong energy infrastructure fundamentals and in particular rising power demand,” CEO Greg Ebel said on a conference call.

Enbridge shares were down 0.3% at C$56.08 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The company reported a profit of C$1.29 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with C$532 million a year earlier.

Its adjusted profit of 55 Canadian cents per share missed analysts’ estimate by one Canadian cent, according to data compiled by LSEG, partly because of higher financing costs related to the U.S. gas acquisitions.

Enbridge had closed a $14 billion acquisition, including debt, of three Dominion Energy utilities — East Ohio Gas, Questar Gas and Public Service Co of North Carolina — by the third quarter.

Enbridge’s adjusted core profit from gas distribution and storage was up 92.6% at C$522 million in the quarter, helped by the acquisitions, which contributed C$217 million.

Steady oil demand also boosted the company’s earnings with its Mainline system transporting 2.96 million barrels per day in the quarter. Adjusted core profit of the pipeline network rose 3.2% to C$1.35 billion, helped by higher tolls.

“In liquids, demand for the Mainline remains strong and our volumes for 2024 are expected to exceed 3 million barrels per day,” Ebel said, adding Enbridge was advancing discussions with customers about new pipelines in western Canada from 2026 onwards.

Mainline is North America’s largest crude oil pipeline network. It transports light and heavy crude oil, natural gas liquids and refined products from Edmonton, Alberta to various markets in Canada and the U.S. Midwest.
