Executive Overview and Business Update

With quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $1,167 million, Pembina has delivered a very solid start to the year. The Company remains confident in the full year outlook and is currently trending towards the midpoint of its 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $4.2 billion to $4.5 billion.

The guidance range reflects the following:

• Pembina continues to benefit from growth across the Canadian energy industry and is experiencing rising utilization on its conventional pipeline systems and at Pembina Gas Infrastructure (“PGI”) that aligns with the volume growth across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (“WCSB”). However, in 2025, Pembina’s revenue volume growth within the conventional pipelines and gas processing assets is expected to be lower than physical volume growth as certain customers expand into their contractual take-or-pay commitments;
• higher contribution from Alliance in the first and fourth quarters due to the ability to transport higher volumes during colder periods;
• planned routine maintenance at Aux Sable and Alliance during the second quarter;
• the impact in the second quarter of planned routine maintenance at certain PGI facilities and the Redwater Complex, as well as restrictions on third-party natural gas egress within the basin;
• higher integrity and geotechnical costs on the conventional pipeline assets in the third and fourth quarters, relative to the first half of the year; and
• stronger first and fourth quarter results in the natural gas liquids (“NGL”) marketing business due to typical seasonality. Additionally, while marketing results in the first quarter exceeded Pembina’s original budget expectations, this has been offset by the outlook for the remainder of the year, which reflects lower commodity prices due to global economic uncertainty. As a result, Pembina’s full year adjusted EBITDA outlook for the Marketing & New Ventures division of $550 million remains unchanged.

Given growth across Pembina’s low-risk, fee-based business and confidence in the outlook for 2025 and beyond, we are pleased to announce an increase in the quarterly common share cash dividend of approximately three percent as detailed further below.

U.S. Tariffs

• Pembina currently does not expect any material near-term impact to its business from tariffs on U.S. energy imports, particularly as it relates to the outlook for 2025, given the highly contracted, take-or-pay nature of its business. Further, to date, Pembina has not observed any significant changes to producer activity in the WCSB from U.S. tariffs.In the marketing business, Pembina’s view is that the products being marketed by the Company are compliant with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (“CUSMA”). At this time, CUSMA-compliant energy products and are not subject to the current 10 percent U.S. tariff on energy.Recent contracting for the 2025/2026 NGL year included provisions that provide tariff cost sharing with the U.S. customer in certain at-risk situations, providing Pembina and its customers with risk mitigation in the event that the tariff situation changes.Finally, Pembina continues to diversify its end-market exposure and pursue opportunities to access non-U.S. markets for its NGL. The Company’s strategy to secure additional West Coast export capacity through its own and third-party facilities is expected to reduce exposure to U.S. markets in favour of premium markets, thereby enhancing the long-term resilience of Pembina’s business.

Commercial Updates

• Pembina has entered into commercial agreements with a leading Montney producer covering Pembina’s full value chain, including transportation, fractionation, and marketing services. The agreements include significant new and extended long-term, take-or-pay volume commitments on Pembina’s Peace Pipeline, Pouce Coupé systems, and NEBC Pipeline. The new and extended fractionation agreements are expected to support higher utilization at Pembina’s Redwater Complex, including RFS IV, currently under construction and the proposed RFS III de-ethanizer, if sanctioned.
• Pembina continues efforts to remarket its 1.5 million tonnes per annum of Cedar LNG Project capacity to third parties. As previously disclosed, Pembina received non-binding proposals covering well in excess of its contracted capacity, and has now short-listed the preferred counterparties and entered definitive agreement negotiations.
• Alliance continues to work collaboratively with its stakeholders through the Canada Energy Regulator (“CER”) review process and remains focused on delivering the highest standards of service that customers have come to expect. Based on discussions to date, Pembina expects lower future tolls on the Canadian portion of Alliance, reflecting a negotiated solution that continues to benefit both Pembina and the Alliance shippers through an equitable sharing of value and risk. We expect Pembina will continue to earn appropriate risk-adjusted returns, while shippers will continue to benefit from Alliance’s firm capacity, high reliability, and cost-effective access to premium U.S. natural gas markets.

Projects

• Pembina continues to advance several in-flight construction projects, including RFS IV, the Wapiti Expansion, the K3 Cogeneration Facility, and the Cedar LNG Project, to capitalize on growing WCSB volumes, diversify end-market exposure, and serve our customers better. Pembina has built a strong competitive advantage by effectively delivering projects safely, on-time, and on-budget. Further, we believe that recent and current expansions of the Peace Pipeline, NEBC Pipeline, and Redwater Complex have been, and continue to be, executed with superior capital efficiency compared to others in the industry.Further details on projects under construction can be found in Pembina’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated May 8, 2025 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
• In addition to projects underway, Pembina continues to progress development of other potential projects to serve growing demand from WCSB producers. The more than $4 billion portfolio of potential projects includes conventional pipeline expansion such as the Taylor-to-Gordondale Project (an expansion of the Pouce Coupé system), an expansion of the Peace Pipeline system to add capacity to the market delivery pipelines from Fox Creek, Alberta to Namao, Alberta (the “Fox Creek-to-Namao Peace Pipeline Expansion”), and further expansions to support volume growth in NEBC, including new pipelines and terminal upgrades.
• Within the Facilities Division, Pembina continues to evaluate the various options available to meet its ethane supply commitment under the agreement with Dow Chemicals Canada (“Dow”). Pembina is seeking to fulfill its commitment in the most capital efficient manner possible and is evaluating a portfolio of opportunities, including the addition of a de-ethanizer tower at RFS III within the Redwater Complex. While reiterating their commitment to their Path2Zero project, Dow recently announced a delay in construction of the project to manage capital allocation in light of current market conditions and economic uncertainty. At this time, the announced delay has no impact on Pembina’s ethane supply agreement and the development of potential infrastructure to meet its commitments. To date, Pembina has not spent material capital to support the ethane supply agreement and will continue to progress these projects, but may now have more time available to execute them.
• As previously disclosed, during the quarter Pembina announced two exciting developments that further expand the Company’s portfolio of infrastructure opportunities. Pembina has entered into agreements for a 50 percent interest in the Greenlight Electricity Centre Limited Partnership, which is developing a power generation facility to serve data centre customers. Pembina also secured the sole NGL extraction rights from the Yellowhead Mainline natural gas pipeline and is advancing engineering of an up to 500 MMcf/d straddle facility.

Financial & Operational Highlights

Adjusted EBITDA

Pembina reported quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $1,167 million in the first quarter, representing a $123 million or 12 percent increase over the same period in the prior year.

Pipelines reported adjusted EBITDA of $677 million for the first quarter, representing a $78 million or 13 percent increase compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting the net impact of the following factors:

• higher contribution from Alliance due to increased ownership following the Company’s acquisition of Enbridge Inc.’s (“Enbridge”) interests in the Alliance joint venture, along with Enbridge’s interests in the Aux Sable and NRGreen joint ventures, on April 1, 2024 (the “Alliance/Aux Sable Acquisition”);
• favourable U.S. foreign exchange rates;
• higher tolls mainly related to contractual inflation adjustments;
• higher contracted volumes on the Nipisi Pipeline and the Peace Pipeline system;
• higher contribution from Alliance due to higher demand on seasonal contracts; and
• lower firm tolls on the Cochin Pipeline, due to recontracting in July 2024.

Facilities reported adjusted EBITDA of $345 million for the first quarter, representing a $35 million or 11 percent increase over the same period in the prior year, reflecting the net impact of the following factors:

• inclusion within Facilities of adjusted EBITDA from Aux Sable following the Alliance/Aux Sable Acquisition; and
• higher contribution from PGI, primarily related to the Whitecap and Veren transactions, largely offset by lower interruptible volumes at Dawson due to third-party restrictions.

Marketing & New Ventures reported adjusted EBITDA of $210 million for the first quarter, representing a $22 million or 12 percent increase compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting the net impact of the following factors:

• higher net revenue from contracts with customers due to increased ownership in Aux Sable following the Alliance/Aux Sable Acquisition;
• higher WCSB NGL margins and volumes;
• lower realized gains on commodity-related derivatives;
• lower Aux Sable NGL margins; and
• no similar gain to that recognized in the first quarter of 2024 from a change in the provision related to Pembina’s financial assurances for Cedar LNG Partners LP (“Cedar LNG”).

Corporate reported adjusted EBITDA of negative $65 million for the first quarter, representing a $12 million or 23 percent decrease compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting higher incentive costs driven by the change in Pembina’s share price and relative performance to peers in the period compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Earnings

Pembina reported first quarter earnings of $502 million, representing a $64 million or 15 percent increase over the same period in the prior year.

Pipelines had earnings in the first quarter of $518 million, representing a $63 million or 14 percent increase over the prior period. The increase was primarily due to the same factors impacting adjusted EBITDA, as noted above, as well as higher depreciation and amortization expense largely due to the Alliance/Aux Sable Acquisition.

Facilities had earnings in the first quarter of $184 million representing a $7 million or four percent increase over the prior period. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted EBITDA, as noted above, the change in earnings was due to unrealized losses recognized by PGI on interest rate derivative financial instruments compared to gains in the first quarter of 2024, higher unrealized gains on commodity-based derivative financial instruments recognized by PGI, and higher depreciation and amortization expense largely due to the Alliance/Aux Sable Acquisition.

Marketing & New Ventures had earnings in the first quarter of $160 million representing a $96 million or 150 percent increase over the prior period. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted EBITDA, as noted above, the change in earnings was due to lower unrealized losses on renewable power purchase agreements and crude oil-based derivatives, unrealized gains on NGL-based derivatives, and unrealized losses on interest rate derivative financial instruments recognized by Cedar LNG.

In addition to the changes in earnings for each division discussed above, the change in the first quarter earnings compared to the prior period was due to higher income tax, higher incentive costs, higher net finance costs, and lower interest income.

Quarterly Common Share Dividend

Pembina’s board of directors has declared a common share cash dividend for the second quarter of 2025 of $0.71 per share, representing an increase of approximately three percent, to be paid, subject to applicable law, on June 30, 2025, to shareholders of record on June 16, 2025. The common share dividends are designated as “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.

For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S. funds, the cash dividend is expected to be approximately U.S.$0.5146 per share (before deduction of any applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.7248. 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.

Quarterly dividend payments are expected to be made on the last business day of March, June, September and December to shareholders of record on the 15th day of the corresponding month, if, as and when declared by the board of directors. Should the record date fall on a weekend or on a statutory holiday, the record date will be the next succeeding business day following the weekend or statutory holiday.
