33 **Second Quarter 2022 Results**
34
35 August 4, 2022; Pembina Pipeline announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter 2022.{{footnote}}https://www.pembina.com/media-centre/news/details/135544/{{/footnote}}
36
37
38 Strong Quarterly Results – delivered earnings of $418 million and adjusted EBITDA of $849 million, the latter representing a record for a second quarter, reflecting higher natural gas liquids ("NGL") and crude oil prices and margins, and rising volumes on key systems.
39
40
41 Guidance Raised – 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance range has been increased to $3.575 to $3.675 billion (previously $3.45 to $3.6 billion).
42
43
44 NEBC Producer Commitment – Pembina has executed the previously referenced long-term agreements with a third leading Northeast British Columbia ("NEBC") Montney producer, which include the commitment of significant volumes from another multi-phase NEBC Montney development.
45
46
47 Alliance Recontracting – open seasons conducted during the second quarter further strengthened Alliance's contracting profile and continue to highlight the strong AECO-Chicago price differential and the value of Alliance's reliable and highly competitive access to mid-western U.S. gas markets, and as a conduit to the Gulf Coast and its robust liquified natural gas ("LNG") market.
48
49
50 ESG – Pembina continues to advance execution of its environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") strategy with a $1 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility, a second renewable power purchase agreement ("PPA"), and meaningful progress on its equity, diversity, and inclusion ("EDI") targets.
51
52
53 In the second quarter, Pembina reported adjusted EBITDA of $849 million, representing a $71 million, or nine percent, increase over the same period in the prior year. Relative to the prior period, the second quarter was positively impacted by stronger marketing results due to higher margins on crude oil and NGL sales, a combination of higher volumes on the Peace Pipeline system and higher tolls due to inflation, and higher contributions from Aux Sable and Alliance. These positive factors were partially offset by a lower contribution from Ruby, due to Ruby Pipeline L.L.C. ("Ruby Pipeline") filing for bankruptcy protection on March 31, 2022; higher realized losses on commodity-related derivatives; lower contracted volumes on the Nipisi and Mitsue pipeline systems, due to the expiration of contracts; and higher general and administrative costs, primarily due to higher long-term incentive costs driven by Pembina's relative share price performance.
54
55
56 Pembina recorded second quarter earnings of $418 million, representing a $164 million, or 65 percent, increase relative to the same period in the prior year. Relative to the prior period, in addition to the factors impacting adjusted EBITDA, as noted above, earnings in the second quarter were positively impacted by lower other expense and impairments and a higher unrealized gain on commodity-related derivatives. Second quarter earnings were negatively impacted by higher income tax expense, and higher net finance costs due to foreign exchange losses compared to gains in the second quarter of 2021.
57
58
59 Cash flow from operating activities of $604 million for the second quarter represents an increase of $20 million, or three percent, over the same period in the prior year. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities of $683 million represents a $145 million, or 27 percent, increase over the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to the factors impacting cash flow from operating activities, discussed above, excluding the impact of the change in non-cash working capital and taxes paid. On a per share (basic) basis, adjusted cash flow from operating activities increased by 26 percent due to the same factors.

70 The Pipelines Division provides customers with pipeline transportation, terminalling, storage and rail services in key market hubs in Canada and the United States for crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas. The division manages pipeline transportation capacity of 3.1 mmboe/d, above ground storage of 11 mmbls and rail terminalling capacity of approximately 105 mboe/d within its conventional, oil sands and heavy oil, and transmission assets. The conventional assets include strategically located pipelines and terminalling hubs that gather and transport light and medium crude oils, condensate and natural gas liquids from western Alberta and northeast British Columbia to the Edmonton, Alberta area for further processing or transportation on downstream pipelines. The oil sands and heavy oil assets transport heavy and synthetic crude oil produced within Alberta to the Edmonton, Alberta area and offer associated storage, terminalling and rail services. The transmission assets transport natural gas, ethane and condensate throughout Canada and the United States on long haul pipelines linking various key market hubs. In addition, the Pipelines Division assets provide linkages between Pembina's upstream and downstream assets across North America, enabling integrated customer service offerings. Together, these assets supply products from hydrocarbon producing regions to refineries, fractionators and market hubs in Alberta, British Columbia, Illinois and California, as well as other regions throughout North America.

Condensate and NGL extracted at virtually all Canadian-based facilities have access to transportation on Pembina's pipelines. In addition, all NGL transported along the Alliance Pipeline are extracted through the Pembina operated Channahon Facility at the terminus. The Facilities Division includes approximately 354 mbpd of NGL fractionation capacity, 21 mmbbls of cavern storage capacity and associated pipeline and rail terminalling facilities and a liquefied propane export facility on Canada's West Coast. These facilities are fully integrated with the Company's other divisions, providing customers with the ability to access a comprehensive suite of services to enhance the value of their hydrocarbons.
