CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA), Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners ("MSIP"), and Kineticor Asset Management ("Kineticor"), partners in the Greenlight Electricity Centre Limited Partnership ("Greenlight") (the "Partners"), congratulate Meta and the Province of Alberta on today's announcement of a major new data centre project in Alberta. Members of Pembina's leadership team joined Meta, Alberta Premier Daniel.

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA), today announced that it has entered into a non-binding Heads of Agreement (the "HOA") with the Government of Canada, the Province of Alberta, Trans Mountain Corporation, and Alberta Petroleum and Marketing Commission, to participate in a proposed nation-building energy infrastructure initiative intended to strengthen Canada's energy transportation network and expand market access for Canadian crude oil. Pembina will contribute its development and execution expertise to a multi-stakeholder initiative connecting Canadian energy to global markets. Pembina's participation remains subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

A first-of-its-kind initiative in Canada

The HOA contemplates the development of a new approximately one million barrel per day crude oil pipeline system connecting Alberta to Canada's West Coast, and a related export terminal (the "Project"). The proposed pipeline will leverage the existing Trans Mountain pipeline right of way, also known as the southern route. The Project is being advanced as a national priority that brings together the Government of Canada, the Province of Alberta, Indigenous partners, and industry. Under the framework in the HOA, the Project would be held through a development company jointly owned by the Government of Canada, the Province of Alberta, and Pembina, with a working interest to be reserved for Indigenous partners to acquire at commercial operations. Pembina's economic interest through construction will be 10 percent with the opportunity for up to an additional 10 percent once the Project enters commercial operation. Trans Mountain Corporation will serve as the lead Project proponent, responsible for construction of the Project, the regulatory process, stakeholder and Indigenous engagement, and subsequent operation of the asset.

A defined, expertise-led role

Pembina would participate as an experienced industry operator able to provide an independent perspective on cost, schedule, and execution — complementing, rather than replacing, the lead Project proponent. In this capacity, Pembina would bring more than 70 years of safe, disciplined and cost-effective project development and execution working alongside the experienced team at Trans Mountain Corporation. As part of this, Pembina, through the HOA, is in early stages of reviewing the development plans and initial capital cost estimates for the Project; this due diligence work stream will continue until signing of definitive agreements, which is targeted for September 2026.

A measured, disciplined and risk-managed approach

Consistent with its long-standing approach to capital allocation, Pembina will evaluate participation in the Project through a disciplined and rigorous investment framework. The proposed multi-stakeholder structure is intended to appropriately align risk and responsibility among participants and includes protection for Pembina related to matters such as cost overruns and returns. Pembina has full discretion over any final investment decision ("FID") for its interest and shall have no at-risk development capital prior to FID. Pembina will assess the opportunity against defined Project milestones throughout the development period and will evaluate its participation in the context of its longstanding prudent capital allocation guardrails and its broader development portfolio. The Company intends to provide updates at appropriate milestones as the evaluation of the Project progresses.

"The Project represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to advance nation-building energy infrastructure that strengthens Canada's economy and expands access to global markets for Canadian energy," said Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pembina. "We are proud to bring our development and execution expertise to a project of this national significance. Our participation will be evaluated through the same disciplined lens we apply to every capital decision. We have approached our involvement in a way that is measured, that preserves our financial flexibility, and that incorporates meaningful protections — so that any participation remains consistent with our financial guardrails and creates durable value for our shareholders."

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA), Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners ("MSIP"), and Kineticor Asset Management ("Kineticor"), partners in the Greenlight Electricity Centre Limited Partnership ("Greenlight") (collectively, the "Partners"), today announced a positive final investment decision on the Greenlight Electricity Centre ("GLEC" or the "Project"). GLEC is a 932 megawatt ("MW") gas-fired combined cycle power generation facility to be located in Sturgeon County, within the Alberta Industrial Heartland, to serve a major data centre development (the "Customer").

Rapid growth in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing is driving durable global demand for data centre capacity and Alberta has positioned itself as an attractive jurisdiction for significant investment. Data centre projects require long-term, reliable power, and natural gas-to-power infrastructure has an important role to play in the success of this growing industry. Pembina and Kineticor have been instrumental in enabling development of the Customer's data centre project, a first of its kind in Canada. The Partners are first movers in responding to Alberta's large-scale data centre power needs and are proud to serve as the Customer's long-term, behind-the-meter power provider.

Highlights

Strategic Fit – The Project fits squarely within Pembina's 3C's Strategy to Capture volumes, Connect them to markets, and Catalyze new demand platforms. Extending its track record of value creation from adjacent new businesses, Pembina will benefit directly from its investment in GLEC through a new long-term, stable cash flow stream, and increased business and customer diversification. Additionally, GLEC will Catalyze intra-basin natural gas demand and provide a valuable new egress option to support Canadian natural gas production growth. This growth is expected to benefit Pembina's existing businesses, including natural gas processing and transportation, and natural gas liquids ("NGL") transportation, fractionation and marketing. Long-term Commercial Support – Consistent with Pembina's fee-based midstream model, GLEC will supply electricity to the Customer's data centre under a long-term tolling agreement. The agreement is a tolling arrangement providing revenues in the form of capacity payments and usage-based payments (e.g. fuel and operations and maintenance costs). The anticipated in-service date for the Project is the second half of 2030. Strong Project Economics – Greenlight has obtained a Class III level capital cost estimate of approximately $4 billion, or approximately $2 billion net to Pembina. Approximately 85 percent of this cost has been secured under fixed price agreements. The total Project cost, including $0.6 billion (gross) of interest during construction and other financing costs is expected to be approximately $4.6 billion, or approximately $2.3 billion, net to Pembina. Inclusive of the proceeds of $190 million, net to Pembina, from the sale of land to the Customer, Pembina's total net investment in GLEC will be approximately $2.1 billion. The Project is expected to generate annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA of approximately $310 million, net to Pembina. Growth Platform – GLEC will provide a meaningful contribution to Pembina's growth in 2030 and beyond, including its recently announced 5-7 percent fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share growth target to 2030. Further, Pembina believes this to be a highly scalable new business line. Pembina and its partners are advancing potential additional power-to-data centre projects, including a second phase of the generation Project, as well as other opportunities that could contribute significantly to Pembina's long-term growth. Greenlight Ownership – Greenlight is owned by Pembina (47.5 percent), MSIP (47.5 percent), and Kineticor (5 percent). "This is a tremendously exciting development within Pembina's growing and increasingly diversified business. Together with Kineticor, we have leveraged our advantaged position within the Canadian midstream energy industry and are proud to be the first mover in responding to the power requirements of Alberta-based data centres, all within Pembina's proven midstream model. Dedicated, contracted gas-to-power infrastructure represents a promising new growth platform, through which we are also helping to catalyze new natural gas demand that will provide additional benefits throughout our business." – Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer, Pembina

"The GLEC represents a significant investment in Alberta's future and a major step forward in establishing a dynamic new industry. Alberta's strong regulatory framework combined with the Province's commitment to the sustainable growth of the data centre industry has created the conditions necessary to advance this project to a positive final investment decision. We remain committed to developing sustainable infrastructure projects across Alberta that deliver affordable and reliable power while supporting long-term economic growth." – Andrew Plaunt, Chief Executive Officer, Kineticor

"Reliable, dispatchable power is the foundation of the AI and cloud economy and Greenlight will deliver it at scale to one of Canada's most important new data centre developments. We are proud to partner with Pembina and Kineticor to begin construction on this landmark project and look forward to expanding the partnership to support future growth in Alberta." – Chris Ortega, Head of the Americas for MSIP

"Alberta natural gas is powering the digital economy forward with this significant investment in electricity generation. This announcement reflects the positive momentum created by the province's memorandum of understanding with the federal government last fall, including the abeyance of the federal government's Clean Electricity Regulations. Investments like this will lead to thousands of jobs, significant economic growth, and hundreds of millions in provincial revenue that can be reinvested to support the services that matter most to Albertans." – Premier Danielle Smith

"Greenlight is a great addition to our Industrial Heartland and we welcome the opportunities it brings with its development. By building new power generation, this project helps create the reliable energy supply needed to enable future industrial growth, attract investment, and strengthen our region's competitiveness without increasing demand on Alberta's electricity grid. We congratulate Greenlight and its partners on moving forward with this project and the role it plays in supporting Alberta's energy future." – Sturgeon County Mayor Alanna Hnatiw

Greenlight Electricity Centre Overview

The Project will consist of a 932 MW combined cycle gas power plant that will supply power on a dedicated basis to the Customer's data centre. The site has the potential to be expanded to a permitted generation capacity of 1,864 MW.

GLEC will utilize two highly efficient SGT6-8000H gas turbines, two SST6-5000 "KN" Steam Turbines coupled with two SGen6-3000W Generators - all from Siemens Energy. Combining gas and steam power production in this configuration increases energy efficiency compared to traditional simple cycle gas turbine generators. Greenlight has ensured delivery timing and cost certainty through a fixed price agreement with Siemens Energy Inc. as well as a long-term service agreement with Siemens Energy Canada Limited.

GLEC will require approximately 150 million cubic feet per day of natural gas. Through recent open seasons on Pembina's Alliance Heartland Expansion Project and the TC Energy Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. systems, and other commercial arrangements, Greenlight has secured sufficient natural gas transportation capacity on a long-term basis to support the Project. Greenlight's natural gas contracting strategy provides redundancy and operational flexibility.

Greenlight has leveraged the combined experience, strong relationships, and contracting expertise of Pembina and Kineticor to support development of the Project. Kineticor led the origination and development of GLEC as part of a fully integrated offering to the Customer and will be responsible for the ongoing development of future expansion opportunities. Pembina will lead the GLEC construction management workstream, leveraging its track record of building infrastructure on time and on budget. Following construction, GLEC will be operated by a third-party contract operator under a long-term services agreement.

The Project has received all major regulatory approvals and has an anticipated in-service date in the second half of 2030.

Commercial Structure

Greenlight and the Customer have entered into a long-term Electrical Energy Supply Agreement ("EESA") under which Greenlight will provide 932 MW of capacity from GLEC to power the Customer's data centre. The EESA is structured as a tolling agreement, supporting a stable stream of capacity payments and usage-based payments (e.g. fuel and operations and maintenance costs).

GLEC's commercial structure aligns with Pembina's fee-based midstream model and will strengthen the Company's business profile by generating additional low-risk cash flows and diversifying its customer base with a new, global, investment grade counterparty.

Project Economics and Funding

Greenlight has entered into fixed price agreements with a consortium of Aecon Group Inc. (TSX: ARE) and Técnicas Reunidas for the engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") of GLEC. Together with the fixed price agreement for the purchase of turbines from Siemens, approximately 85 percent of the Project's cost has been de-risked.

Once operational, GLEC is expected to generate annual run-rate adjusted EBITDA of approximately $310 million, net to Pembina. The Project's economics reflect a prudent risk profile, including a long-term commercial agreement, lump sum EPC agreement, and certain cost protections. Separate from GLEC, Pembina may benefit from additional economics related to gas processing and transportation, liquids transportation, and fractionation.

Greenlight has arranged asset-level debt financing for approximately 60 percent of the Project's cost with the remaining 40 percent to be financed through equity contributions. Pembina's net investment of approximately $2.3 billion represents a requirement whereby each of Pembina and MSIP will fund 50 percent of Greenlight's capital. Pembina's contribution will be financed through a combination of project debt and approximately $1 billion of equity contributions. Capital spending in 2026-2027 will be funded with asset-level debt financing, while capital spending in 2028-2030 will be funded with partner equity contributions.

Integration and Expansion Opportunities

Pembina's advantages include its fully integrated wellhead-to-market infrastructure and ability to service customers across the full hydrocarbon value chain. Through GLEC, Pembina is extending its business into an adjacent opportunity arising from its existing footprint, unique capabilities, and strong relationships.

In addition to the direct benefits of Pembina's investment in the Project, GLEC will create valuable new demand for Canadian natural gas, supporting production growth that is expected to benefit Pembina's existing gas processing and gas transportation businesses, including providing support for a regional expansion of the Canadian segment of the Alliance Pipeline.

Alliance Pipeline's binding open season for a new proposed short-haul point-to-point transportation service on the Canadian segment of its system concluded on April 20, 2026. The proposed Alliance Heartland Expansion Project would provide natural gas delivery to a new meter station in Fort Saskatchewan with an anticipated in-service date in the fourth quarter of 2029. Successful proponents have been awarded capacity conditional on the project being sanctioned. The Alliance Heartland Expansion Project continues to progress toward a final investment decision, with ongoing workstreams focused on engineering and regulatory activities, including the filing of applications with the Canada Energy Regulator, which is expected to occur in August 2026.

Further, growing natural gas production supports the associated growth of other products in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, including condensate and NGL, providing additional benefits to Pembina from increased liquids transportation, fractionation and marketing services.

Future opportunities associated with GLEC include the potential to support development of the Alberta Carbon Grid and the transportation and sequestration of emissions from the Project.

GLEC is the first project within a scalable new platform. The Partners are aligned in their desire to build a midstream power business and aspire to repeat the success of GLEC with an expansion of the existing project and/or through the development of additional power plants for other data centre customers. A future expansion is expected to align well with the AESO's Phase 2 Large Load Allocation process and the Province of Alberta's 'bring your own power' data centre strategy.

Greenlight LP Ownership Update

MSIP has acquired from OPTrust, Kineticor's majority shareholder, its 50 percent ownership interest in Greenlight. In addition, upon FID, Kineticor was granted a five percent interest in Greenlight. The resulting ownership of Greenlight is Pembina (47.5 percent), MSIP (47.5 percent), and Kineticor (5 percent).

Greenlight's future capital expenditures will be funded equally between Pembina and MSIP.

"Pembina has enjoyed a strong relationship with OPTrust and Kineticor. Together we have supported development of a new data centre industry in Alberta and positioned Greenlight as a dedicated power provider with a scalable, high growth platform," said Scott Burrows, Pembina's President and CEO. "We look forward to working with MSIP given our complementary strengths and mutual desire to invest capital and generate attractive returns. MSIP is well funded and brings valuable expertise in global infrastructure development that will contribute meaningfully to our shared success."

Key Takeaways Pembina Pipeline gained 24.5% in six months, outperforming its sector and sub-industry peers.PBA raised 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance after a stronger marketing performance and market conditions.PBA is advancing major projects backed by demand and contracts to support future earnings growth. Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA - Free Report) is one of Canada’s premier energy infrastructure companies, operating a vast network of pipelines, gas gathering and processing facilities, liquids infrastructure, storage assets and export terminals. Its integrated business model provides end-to-end services that connect production sites with key markets across North America and beyond. Backed largely by long-term, fee-based agreements, Pembina Pipeline generates stable and predictable cash flows while maintaining a strong focus on operational safety, reliability and disciplined capital allocation. The company continues to invest in strategic infrastructure projects aimed at supporting resource development, improving market connectivity and reinforcing its competitive position in a changing global energy environment.

For investors, the central question is whether the stock’s recent strong performance justifies maintaining a position for additional upside or warrants a reassessment of valuation levels. Evaluating Pembina Pipeline’s financial strength, favorable industry dynamics and long-term growth opportunities can provide valuable insight into whether the stock remains an attractive holding.

PBA’s Price PerformanceIn the past six months, PBA’s shares have gained 24.5%, outperforming the broader oil and energy sector's rise of 19.3% and the Oil & Gas Production and Pipelines sub-industry’s growth of 17.3%.

PBA’s Six-Month Stock Performance

Core Strengths of Pembina PipelineStrong Fee-Based Business Model Provides Stable Cash Flows: Pembina Pipeline's business remains heavily supported by long-term, fee-based contracts, insulating earnings from commodity price volatility. Management highlighted that the fee-based business is performing ahead of plan and continues to support the company's target of approximately 5% annual adjusted EBITDA-per-share growth through 2026. This predictable cash flow profile allows Pembina Pipeline to fund growth projects, maintain balance sheet strength and support shareholder returns even during periods of energy market uncertainty. The stability of its pipeline and midstream infrastructure network makes the company particularly attractive for income-oriented and risk-conscious investors.

Upward Revision to 2026 EBITDA Guidance Signals Momentum: Following a strong first quarter, management increased its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance range to C$4.35-C$4.55 billion, representing a midpoint increase of approximately C$175 million from prior expectations. The upgrade reflects stronger marketing performance, improved commodity-related opportunities and favorable market conditions. Raising guidance early in the year demonstrates confidence in operating performance and suggests earnings momentum is stronger than originally anticipated. Companies that consistently outperform and raise forecasts often command higher valuation multiples over time.

A Positive 2026 Earnings Estimate: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PBA’s 2026 earnings is pegged at $2.28 per share, indicating 20% year-over-year growth. The positive earnings estimate outlook makes the stock attractive for investors.

PBA’s Earnings Estimate Overview
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Significant Growth Project Portfolio Creates Long-Term Upside: The company continues to advance a substantial portfolio of projects, including Cedar LNG, the RFS IV fractionator, Alliance Pipeline expansion and the Greenlight Electricity Center. Several projects are progressing on time and under budget, while others are approaching final investment decisions. These developments should contribute incremental earnings over the next several years and expand Pembina Pipeline's integrated value chain. Importantly, many of these projects are backed by customer demand and long-term contracts, increasing the likelihood that future capital investments will generate attractive returns.

Risks That Could Hinder PBA's GrowthDeclining EBITDA in the First Quarter of 2026: Despite a solid quarter overall, first-quarter adjusted EBITDA fell approximately 3% from the prior year. Management attributed the decline partly to the new Alliance Pipeline toll structure and revenue-sharing mechanisms, as well as weaker NGL marketing economics earlier in the quarter. While the company expects improvement going forward, the decline highlights that regulatory changes, contract renegotiations and market conditions can offset volume growth and operational improvements, creating headwinds for earnings expansion.

Earnings Remain Exposed to Commodity-Related Marketing Activities: Although Pembina Pipeline's core business is fee-based, a meaningful portion of earnings still comes from marketing operations that are influenced by commodity prices, frac spreads and market conditions. Management acknowledged that guidance improvements were driven largely by stronger marketing expectations. If propane prices weaken, frac spreads narrow, or global energy markets soften, marketing profits could decline materially. This introduces earnings variability and can make financial results less predictable than those of a purely regulated pipeline operator.

Elevated Leverage Due to Growth Investments: Pembina Pipeline expects its debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio to range between approximately 3.5x and 3.7x in 2026. While manageable for a midstream company, leverage remains elevated due to ongoing capital spending and investments such as Cedar LNG. Rising interest rates, weaker earnings, or unexpected project expenditures could place additional pressure on the balance sheet. Investors seeking highly conservative financial profiles may view this leverage level as a potential concern.

Dependence on Producer Activity Levels: The company’s infrastructure volumes depend heavily on drilling activity and production levels from upstream energy companies. While management expects long-term production growth in Western Canada, short-term activity can fluctuate due to commodity price swings, mergers among producers, or changes in drilling plans. If upstream operators reduce capital spending, throughput volumes on Pembina Pipeline’s pipelines and facilities could decline, affecting revenues.

Final Thoughts on PBA StockPembina Pipeline appears well-positioned with its stable fee-based contract structure and upward 2026 EBITDA revision that supports predictable cash flows. Ongoing expansion projects and LNG export opportunities also provide visible long-term growth potential, while positive earnings expectations reinforce confidence in its operational outlook.

However, recent EBITDA pressure, exposure to commodity market fluctuations and the company’s heavy capital spending phase introduce near-term financial risks and potential earnings volatility. Given the balance between solid long-term fundamentals and short-term uncertainties, a wait-and-see approach appears prudent for this company, allowing investors to participate in structural upside while waiting for clearer earnings traction.

Key PicksCurrently, PBA has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Investors interested in the energy sector may consider some top-ranked stocks like Global Partners LP (GLP - Free Report) , Crescent Energy Company (CRGY - Free Report) and CrossAmerica Partners LP (CAPL - Free Report) , each sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present.

Pembina Pipeline (PBA - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 8. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis oil and gas transportation and services company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.52 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -7.1%.

Revenues are expected to be $1.29 billion, down 18.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 11.61% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Pembina Pipeline?For Pembina Pipeline, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.65%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination indicates that Pembina Pipeline will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Pembina Pipeline would post earnings of $0.5 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.56, delivering a surprise of +12.00%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Pembina Pipeline appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

This news release refers to certain financial measures and ratios that are not specified, defined or determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") build multiple.

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or "the Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it is proceeding with the Heartland Extraction Plant ("HEP") and provided an update on its ethane supply agreement with Dow.

The sanctioning of HEP represents a capital efficient, low-risk monetization of Pembina's liquids extraction rights on the Yellowhead Pipeline, with future growth potential. Through new and amended agreements, Pembina and Dow reached a mutually beneficial solution that has increased the overall ethane supply commitment, better aligned the volume profile with Dow's revised Path2Zero project schedule, and supported the economics of the HEP project. As previously disclosed, Pembina pursued an optimized ethane portfolio solution in support of its Dow supply commitments and is excited to sanction this project, which also provides Pembina the economic benefits of propane-plus natural gas liquids ("NGL") production. Additionally, sanctioning HEP is another important step towards realizing Pembina's recently announced 5-7 percent fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share growth target to 2030.

Heartland Extraction Plant Project Highlights

A new 750 million cubic feet per day straddle plant to extract NGL under Pembina's extraction rights on the Yellowhead Pipeline. This upsized project is an evolution of the previously disclosed Yellowhead Extraction Plant project. HEP now includes incremental capacity to accommodate future additional opportunities on a capital efficient basis, enhancing Pembina's Alberta Industrial Heartland footprint. Pembina has signed a long-term agreement at HEP to supply Dow with ethane beginning in late 2029, scaling to 22,500 barrels per day ("bpd") by the end of 2030. Following extraction at HEP, ethane-plus mix will be processed at a combination of Dow's Fort Saskatchewan facility and Pembina's Redwater Complex. Pembina will retain the associated propane-plus production related to the project and will benefit from downstream fractionation and marketing of up to 9,500 bpd of propane-plus NGL. HEP has an estimated cost of approximately $570 million, and an anticipated in-service date in late 2029. EBITDA generated from the project will consist of both fixed-fee revenue and frac spread exposure. Using long-term average historical pricing, the EBITDA build multiple for the project is expected to range from 5-7 times. Dow Ethane Supply Agreement Update

In connection with the new firm volume commitment at HEP, Pembina and Dow have amended the terms of their previously announced ethane supply agreement. Under the amended long-term agreement, Pembina will supply Dow with 35,000 bpd of ethane commencing with the start up of Dow's Path2Zero project, which is expected to enter service in 2029. Pembina will source the 35,000 bpd of ethane from its existing supply portfolio, leveraging its integrated value chain, including deep cut gas processing plants, ethane-plus transportation franchise, and fractionation capabilities.

Including the new agreement at HEP (22,500 bpd) and the amended supply agreement (35,000 bpd), Pembina will supply Dow with a total of 57,500 bpd of ethane, representing a 15 percent increase compared to the original agreement of 50,000 bpd.

"This outcome further demonstrates Pembina's ability to find win-win solutions with our customers. We have strengthened our relationship with Dow while advancing Pembina's strategy and ability to deliver capital-efficient growth," said Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pembina. "By aligning volumes with Dow's needs and leveraging our existing asset base, we are enhancing the value of our NGL franchise and catalyzing hydrocarbon demand in Western Canada."

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

Throughout this news release, Pembina has disclosed certain financial measures and ratios that are not specified, defined or determined in accordance with GAAP and which are not disclosed in Pembina's financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures either exclude an amount that is included in, or include an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP ratios are financial measures that are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation that has a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, together with financial measures and ratios specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP, are used by management to evaluate the performance and cash flows of Pembina and its businesses and to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial performance and cash flows to investors and analysts.

In this news release, Pembina has disclosed the following non-GAAP ratio: EBITDA build multiple. The non-GAAP financial measure that is used as a component of this non-GAAP ratio is estimated incremental EBITDA, which is an estimate of the incremental EBITDA expected to be generated by the Heartland Extraction Plant. The EBITDA build multiple is calculated as the estimated capital cost of the project divided by the estimated expected incremental EBITDA. Management uses the EBITDA build multiple to evaluate the capital efficiency and expected return of the project. The equivalent historical non-GAAP financial measure to estimated incremental EBITDA is historical EBITDA, which has earnings as its most directly comparable financial measure specified, defined, and determined in accordance with IFRS. There are no significant differences between the composition of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure and the equivalent historical non-GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios disclosed in this news release do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and may not be comparable to similar financial measures or ratios disclosed by other issuers. Such financial measures and ratios should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, measures and ratios of Pembina's financial performance, or cash flows specified, defined or determined in accordance with IFRS, including earnings.
