TC Energy delivers strong third quarter performance and updates three-year financial outlook

Press Release

Extending outlook to 2028, reinforced by clear investment visibility through end of decade

$0.7 billion of new growth projects sanctioned in third quarter, totalling over $5 billion of low-risk, accretive growth projects announced over past 12 months

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 06, 2025 — TC Energy Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) (TC Energy or the Company) released its third quarter results today alongside an updated three-year financial outlook and 2026 strategic priorities. François Poirier, TC Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Driven by robust North American energy fundamentals, strong asset performance and exceptional project execution, we are extending our five to seven per cent annual comparable EBITDA1 growth outlook through 2028.” Poirier continued, “Our strategy is working, we’re delivering consistent value without taking on additional risk. Over the past 12 months, we have sanctioned over $5 billion in new growth projects across our North American natural gas and power portfolio, including the announcement today of three natural gas pipeline projects. Collectively these projects are expected to deliver a weighted average build-multiple2 of approximately 5.9 times and are backed by 20-year take-or-pay or cost-of-service contracts. This exemplifies our low-risk capital allocation framework, focused on high-return, in-corridor projects, underpinned by long-term contracts with strong counterparties. Our year-to-date performance continues to demonstrate the strength of our opportunity set and our ability to consistently deliver low-risk, solid growth and repeatable performance.”

CEO Message
Throughout the first nine months of 2025, we continue to showcase the strength of our business and our differentiated exposure to the fastest-growing segments of the energy market, natural gas and power. Our performance reinforces that our strategy is working, and we continue to deliver consistent value without increasing our risk exposure. Performance in the third quarter reflects successful execution against our clear set of strategic priorities as we continue to safely and reliably connect energy across North America. For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2025, comparable EBITDA increased approximately eight per cent, and segmented earnings decreased by approximately four per cent compared to the same period in 2024. The outlook for our business continues to be shaped by compelling structural trends across North America’s energy landscape. Growing demand, favourable regulatory momentum, and a clear path to long-term, low-risk growth are reinforcing our confidence in the value we’re delivering to shareholders.

Our latest forecast expects North American natural gas demand to increase by 45 Bcf/d by 2035, primarily driven by a tripling of LNG exports and unprecedented power demand from data centres and coal-to-gas conversions. We believe TC Energy’s infrastructure plays a vital role in meeting this growing energy need. Year-to-date, we have placed approximately $8 billion of projects into service on time and 15 per cent under budget and expect to place $8.2 billion of projects into service by year-end. This is slightly lower than prior expectations, due in part to capital efficiencies achieved through successful project execution. In September, we placed the Valhalla section of the VNBR project on our NGTL system into service ahead of schedule. In November, on our Columbia and ANR systems respectively, we successfully placed the US$0.5 billion VR and the US$0.7 billion WR projects in service on time and under budget. These projects add critical capacity in growing markets, while advancing system modernization. In 2026, we expect to place approximately $4 billion of capital into service, including Bruce Power Unit 3 as part of the Major Component Replacement (MCR) program. Supported by a long-term contract with the Ontario IESO through 2064, the successful execution of each MCR unit is expected to enhance availability, delivering reliable, baseload, non-emitting electricity in a market where demand is projected to grow by 75 per cent through 20501. These initiatives demonstrate our ability to consistently deliver executable growth that contributes to sustained, long-term financial resilience.

Momentum is accelerating across all three countries in North America as regulatory shifts signal potential for clearer and faster permitting. With TC Energy’s continental-scale incumbency and focused natural gas and power portfolio, we are well-positioned to capitalize on long-term, low-risk, structural growth opportunities that create sustainable value while meeting North America’s growing energy needs. Over the past 12 months, we have sanctioned over $5 billion in new growth projects that exemplify our disciplined approach to capital allocation, prioritizing low-risk projects with strong returns. This includes $0.7 billion of recently sanctioned growth projects, all underpinned by 20 year take-or-pay or cost-of-service contracts with strong counterparties, and expected to deliver a weighted average build multiple of 5.9x. Among these projects are the US$0.3 billion TCO Connector and US$0.1 billion Midwest Connector projects on our Columbia Gas and extended system. With anticipated in service dates of 2030 and 2031 respectively, the projects are designed to provide a total of 0.6 Bcf/d of capacity to serve new natural gas-fired power generation supporting forecasted electric generation growth, including expected data centre growth. With 17 Bcf/d of projects currently in development2, we remain focused on creating enduring value for shareholders while meeting North America’s evolving energy needs.

Reflecting clear visibility to stable, low-risk growth driven by strong demand signals, favourable regulatory momentum, exceptional asset performance and project execution, we have updated our three-year financial outlook through 2028. We now expect 2026 comparable EBITDA to be $11.6 to $11.8 billion, an increase of six to eight per cent over 2025. Our 2025 to 2028 outlook includes an expected comparable EBITDA range of $12.6 to $13.1 billion that implies an additional five to seven per cent growth rate on a compounded annual basis. As we continue to advance our strategic priorities – executing a selective portfolio of growth projects, maintaining financial strength and agility, while maximizing the value of our assets through safety and operational excellence, we believe we are well positioned to deliver predictable, repeatable value for shareholders through the end of the decade and beyond.

TC Energy’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly common share dividend of $0.85 per common share for the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2025, equivalent to $3.40 per common share on an annualized basis.
