| I'm extremely proud of what Pembina and the rest of our industry do to ensure responsibly produce energies available to meet growing global demand |
| We also delivered record annual adjusted EBITDA of $3.82 billion, which exceeded the high-end of the original 2023 guidance range and reflects the strength, predictability and resilience of Pembina’s business |
| Given Pembina’s existing leading ethane supply and transportation business and integrated value chain, there are multiple opportunities for the company to benefit from this new development through both, the existing asset base and new investment opportunities |
| In 2023, we saw growing volumes across many systems supplemented by the value enhancement from another strong year from Pembina’s marketing business |
| The positive momentum in Western Canadian sedimentary basin could be seen by more than 4% year-over-year increase in second half volumes and the conventional pipeline business |
| We put it back into service last year, we're seeing very strong utilization -- physical utilization today |
| We also obviously see a massive positive with respect to utilization across our asset base |
| 2023 was an exceptional year for our company, and we're pretty excited about what we can deliver in 2024 |
| Our experience of Phase VIII is another example of supporting Pembina’s track-record of strong project execution |
| That said, you know, when we look at Cedar from a global competitiveness standpoint, we see that it continues to stack up very well from a cost per ton basis against the North American alternatives into the global markets; reflecting both, the capital intensity but also the West Coast advantages in terms of shipping that Cedar enjoys |
| Thanks to strong results, Pembina generated meaningful free cash flow which was allocated to strengthening the balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders |
| We're pleased yesterday to report our fourth quarter results which include quarterly earnings of $698 million and record quarterly adjusted EBITDA of just over $1 billion |
| Alliance Pipeline and Aux Sable are world-class energy infrastructure assets and increasing our existing ownership of them will further enhance our growing franchise |
| Canada's energy industry has an opportunity for greatness |
| In closing, I believe the next five years will be an exciting time in the Canadian energy industry, with exceptional resources, greater access to global markets, and leading environmental and social performance standards |
| And you know, it's a 9 kilometer pipeline, 10 kilometer pipeline; I think given our track record, I would hope that market has some confidence around our ability to deliver on that |
| As Scott noted, Pembina’s record fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA of $1.03 billion |
| Our investors have come to expect strong and consistent financial leadership from us, demonstrated by a secure and growing dividend, and unwavering commitment to our financial guardrails, a low risk and primarily fee-based business with high take or pay or cost service contributions and a strong balance sheet |
| Given the scope and reach of our business, Pembina is uniquely positioned to benefit from these catalysts |
| Our broader outlook remains unchanged as we see the potential for mid-single digit growth driven by tangible near-term catalysts, including up to approximately $2.8 billion or 2.8 billion cubic feet per day of new natural gas export capacity from the new West Coast LNG projects, 590,000 barrels per day of new crude oil export capacity from the expected completion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion, and potential new developments in the Alberta petrochemical industry, including significant incremental ethane demand associated with path-to-zero project [ph] |
| In closing, we are enthusiastic about the future given the current momentum in the WCSB and expected continued volume growth through 2024 and beyond |
| The fourth quarter contributed to full year results that included earnings of $1.776 billion, record adjusted EBITDA of $3.824 billion, which was 2% higher than in 2022, and exceeded the high-end of the company's original guidance range |
| So overall, we feel good mainly because of -- we went with a lump sum engineering contract, and those always cost a little bit more; but from a risk reward basis, we like that approach to major projects |
| The expansion is being driven by strong customer demand, supported by growing production and will be fully underpinned by long-term take or pay contracts |
| Earnings in the fourth quarter were $698 million; this represents a 187% increase over the same period in the prior year |
| Actually, we're excited we're going to support Chevron through the transaction |
| I mean, you just saw Phase VIII come in materially under budget; so we feel confident around doing our core business on this asset |
| So I'm not trying to be coy, there's just a lot of moving pieces; but on that piece we feel very, very comfortable given the robustness of the contract that we negotiated |
| In the fourth quarter, positive developments continued including the announcement of a $3.1 billion acquisition of Enbridge’s [ph] interest in Alliance and Aux Sable |
| In 2023, Pembina progressed [indiscernible] by sustaining and enhancing our business through various accomplishments we shared throughout the past year, including signing new contracts in the Peace Pipeline System, signing new and/or extending existing contracts with the Redwater Complex, reactivating the Nipisi pipeline and approving new projects such as the 55,000 barrel per day RFS IV expansion, the expansion of the Northeast BC pipeline and a co-generation facility at PGIs K-Bob III Plant [ph] |

| But we -- it is becoming a concern for our customers but it's also -- we don't have a lot of opportunity, unfortunately, because we're fully contracted for the most part |
| When you're talking to your producer customers, how do you think volumes progressed through the year so we can see a little bit of softness in the front part? And then, the ramping up into LNG Canada in 2025 |
| It seems like Cochin and [indiscernible] saw oversubscribed shipper interest |
| In marketing and new ventures, fourth quarter results reflected net impact of higher contribution from Aux Sable, lower natural gas and crude oil marketing margins largely offset by higher NGL margins, and realized losses on commodity related derivatives in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to realized gains in the fourth quarter of 2022 |
| But we are certainly watching producer budgets, given the weakness in Echo [ph] |
| As it relates to contracting as you pointed out, many of the assets have cost sharing arrangements which protects us a little bit |
| Forward-looking statements we may express or imply today are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations |
