AltaGas Business Overview and Organization

AltaGas is a leading North American energy infrastructure company that connects natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) to domestic and global markets. The Company operates a diversified, lower-risk, high-growth energy infrastructure business that is focused on delivering resilient and durable value for its stakeholders. AltaGas has three reporting segments - Utilities, Midstream, and Corporate/Other.

Utilities Segment

AltaGas' Utilities segment owns and operates franchised, cost-of-service, rate-regulated natural gas distribution and storage utilities that focuses on providing safe, reliable, and affordable energy to approximately 1.7 million residential and commercial customers.

This includes operating four utilities, two of which are pending sale, that operate across five major U.S. jurisdictions with a rate base of approximately US$4.9 billion. This includes:

Washington Gas, which is the Company’s largest operating utility that serves approximately 1.2 million customers across Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia;
SEMCO Energy, which delivers essential energy to approximately 321,000 customers in Southern Michigan and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula;
ENSTAR, which is pending sale, is the largest gas utility in Alaska and delivers energy to approximately 151,000 customers in Greater Anchorage and the surrounding Cook Inlet region; and
Cook Inlet Natural Gas Storage Alaska (CINGSA), which is pending sale, is a regulated storage utility that provides reliable access to natural gas.

The Utilities business also includes other storage facilities and contracts for interstate natural gas transportation and storage services, as well as WGL Energy Services, an affiliated retail energy marketing business, which sells natural gas and electricity directly to residential, commercial, and industrial customers located in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the District of Columbia.

Midstream Segment

AltaGas’ Midstream segment is a leading North American platform that connects customers and markets. From wellhead to tidewater and beyond, the Company is focused on providing its customers with safe and reliable service and connectivity that facilitates the best outcomes for their businesses. This includes global market access for North American Liquified Petroleum Gases (LPGs), which provides North American producers and aggregators with attractive netbacks for propane and butane while delivering diversity of supply and supporting stronger energy security in Asia.

Throughout AltaGas’ Midstream operations, the Company believes it is playing a vital role within the larger energy ecosystem that keeps the global economy moving forward and is providing key resources to society, and doing so in a safe, reliable and affordable manner.

AltaGas’ Midstream platform is heavily focused on the Montney resource play in Northeastern B.C. and centers around global exports, which is where the Company believes the market is headed for resource development over the long-term. AltaGas

also operates a broader set of midstream infrastructure assets across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) and select regions in the U.S., which are all focused on connecting customers and markets in the most efficient manner possible.

There are three core pillars to AltaGas’ Midstream platform that are integral to each other and facilitate the Company’s wellhead to tidewater and beyond value chain. These include:

Global Exports, which includes AltaGas’ two LPG export terminals where the Company has capacity to export up to 150,000 Bbl/d of propane and butane to key markets in Asia;
Natural Gas Gathering and Extraction, which includes 1.2 Bcf/d of extraction processing capacity and approximately 1.2 Bcf/d of raw field gas processing capacity, which is heavily focused on the Montney; and
Fractionation and Liquids Handling platform, which includes 65 MBbl/d of fractionation capacity and a sizable liquids handling footprint that operates under the AltaGas and Petrogas banners.

The Midstream segment also consists of natural gas and NGL marketing business, domestic logistics, trucking and rail terminals, and approximately 3.2 million barrels of liquid storage capability through a network of underground salt caverns through the Company’s Strathcona Storage JV with ATCO Energy Solutions Ltd, as well as AltaGas’ 10 percent interest in the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP).

Corporate/Other Segment

AltaGas’ Corporate/Other segment consists of the Company’s corporate activities and a small portfolio of gas-fired power generation and distribution assets capable of generating 508 MW of power primarily in the state of California.

Second Quarter Highlights
(Normalized EBITDA, normalized funds from operations, normalized net income, and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures. Normalized funds from operations per share and normalized net income per share are non-GAAP ratios. Please see Non‑GAAP Financial Measures section of this MD&A.)

On May 26, 2022, AltaGas announced an agreement to sell its Alaskan Utilities to TriSummit Utilities Inc. for US$800 million (approximately CAD$1.03 billion). The transaction is expected to close no later than the first quarter of 2023 and will be subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The sale will include AltaGas' 100 percent interest in ENSTAR, the 65 percent indirect interest in CINGSA, and other ancillary operations. AltaGas plans to use the proceeds of this sale to reduce debt and provide financial flexibility to advance its growth opportunities over the coming years;
On April 12, 2022, AltaGas closed the sale of its interest in the Aitken Creek processing facilities (Aitken Creek) for cash consideration of approximately $224 million, net of closing adjustments, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $1 million;
On April 4, 2022, Washington Gas filed an application for authority to increase charges for gas service in the District of Columbia. The requested rates are designed to collect an incremental US$48 million in revenues, net of approximately US$5 million of costs currently collected through the PROJECTpipes surcharge. Washington Gas requests that new rates be implemented in February 2023;
On June 29, 2022, Washington Gas filed an application for authority to increase rates in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The requested rates are designed to collect an incremental US$48 million in total annual revenues requesting a 10.75 percent return on equity. The base rate increase is separate from the US$39 million revenue requirement relating to transferring expenditures incurred under Washington Gas' Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (SAVE) Plan accelerated infrastructure replacement program to base rates and reset the surcharge. Washington Gas may implement the proposed rates (on an interim basis subject to refund) on November 26, 2022;

Three Months Ended June 30

Normalized EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 was $246 million, compared to $230 million for the same quarter in 2021. Factors positively impacting normalized EBITDA included higher marketing margins, higher export volumes at Ferndale and RIPET, higher earnings at the extraction facilities driven by stronger commodity prices, a cash contract termination payout related to the sale of Aitken Creek in the second quarter of 2022, higher gas margins from WGL's retail marketing business, and lower expenses relating to employee incentive plans as a result of the decreasing share price in the second quarter of 2022. Factors negatively impacting AltaGas' normalized EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 included lower realized propane and butane margins at the export facilities, a hedge loss associated with revenue recognized for export cargos loaded at the end of the first quarter with the hedge settling at the time of delivery in the second quarter, and higher operating and administrative expenses at certain of the utilities. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the average Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate increased to 1.28 from an average of 1.23 in the same period of 2021, resulting in an increase in normalized EBITDA of approximately $4 million.

Income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2022 was $85 million, compared to $47 million for the same quarter in 2021. The increase was mainly due to favourable adjustments to certain accruals for contingencies related to the acquisition of Petrogas, the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA, and lower losses on risk management contracts, partially offset by the absence of the partial reversal of a provision related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business in the second quarter of 2021, higher interest expense, and lower pre-tax gains on the disposition of assets. Net income applicable to common shares for the second quarter of 2022 was $35 million ($0.12 per share), compared to $24 million ($0.09 per share) for the same quarter in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the same previously referenced factors impacting income before income taxes and lower preferred share dividends due to the redemption of the Series K preferred shares on March 31, 2022, partially offset by higher net income applicable to non-controlling interests and higher income tax expense.

Normalized funds from operations for the second quarter of 2022 was $170 million ($0.60 per share), compared to $157 million ($0.56 per share) for the same quarter in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA and lower current income tax expense, partially offset by higher interest expense.


AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 7


Cash from operations in the second quarter of 2022 was $527 million ($1.88 per share), compared to $81 million ($0.29 per share) for the same quarter in 2021. The increase was mainly due to favourable variances in the net change in operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of fluctuations in commodity prices and sales volumes, and higher net income after taxes after adjusting for non-cash items. Please refer to the Liquidity section of this MD&A for further details on the variance in cash from operations.

In the second quarter of 2022, AltaGas recorded a pre-tax loss on disposition of assets of approximately $1 million which was comprised of a pre-tax gain of $1 million on the sale of its interest in the Aitken Creek processing facilities and a pre-tax loss of $2 million on the sale of a power plant in Brush, Colorado. In the second quarter of 2021, AltaGas recorded pre-tax gains on disposition of assets of $3 million on the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business and $1 million on other minor Midstream asset sales, and a pre-tax loss of less than $1 million on the last remaining U.S. distributed generation project which was sold in 2019 but transferred to the purchaser during the quarter. In addition, in the second quarter of 2021, AltaGas recorded a $19 million partial reversal of the provision recorded in the first quarter of 2021 related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business.

Operating and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $385 million, compared to $347 million for the same quarter in 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher logistics related costs at the export facilities, higher operating expenses related to scheduled turnarounds, higher expenses at the utilities, and the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar. Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2022 was $108 million, consistent with the same quarter in 2021. Factors impacting depreciation and amortization expense in the second quarter of 2022 included the impact of new assets placed in-service and the stronger U.S. dollar, offset by the impact of the pending sale of the Alaskan Utilities. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2022 was $76 million, compared to $69 million for the same quarter in 2021. The increase in interest expense included $4 million of interest related to the subordinated hybrid notes, higher average interest rates, and a higher average Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate.

AltaGas recorded income tax expense of $17 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to income tax expense of $3 million for the same quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher income before income taxes compared to the second quarter of 2021. Current tax recovery of $2 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2022, compared to current tax expense of $27 million recorded in the same quarter of 2021. The reduction in current tax expense was mainly due to a decrease in current tax expense on asset sales compared to the same quarter in 2021.

Normalized net income was $23 million ($0.08 per share) for the second quarter of 2022, consistent with normalized net income of $23 million ($0.08 per share) for the same quarter of 2021. Normalized net income was impacted by higher net income applicable to non-controlling interests, higher interest expense, and higher normalized income tax expense, partially offset by the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA. Normalizing items in the second quarter of 2022 reduced normalized net income by $12 million and included after-tax amounts related to transaction costs and recoveries of acquired contingencies related to acquisitions and dispositions, non-controlling interest portion of non-GAAP adjustments, gains on sale of assets, and unrealized losses on risk management contracts. Normalizing items in the second quarter of 2021 reduced normalized net income by $1 million and included after‑tax amounts related to unrealized losses on risk management contracts, reversal of provisions on assets, gains on sale of assets, non-controlling interest portion of non-GAAP adjustments, and transaction costs and acquired contingencies related to acquisitions and dispositions. Please refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this MD&A for further details on normalization adjustments.

Six Months Ended June 30

Normalized EBITDA for the first half of 2022 was $820 million, compared to $904 million for the same period in 2021. Factors positively impacting normalized EBITDA included higher gas margins from WGL's retail marketing business, impacts of Washington Gas' 2020 Maryland and District of Columbia rate cases, an increase in asset optimization activities at Washington Gas, higher earnings at the extraction facilities driven by stronger commodity prices, higher export volumes at Ferndale and RIPET, a cash contract termination payout related to the sale of Aitken Creek, higher revenue from accelerated pipe replacement program spend, and colder weather at certain of the utilities. These were partially offset by the impact of the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business in April 2021, higher operating and administrative expenses at the utilities, lower NGL marketing margins due to the sale of NGL volumes in storage to the market at a premium in 2021, lower realized propane and butane margins at the export facilities, and lower power margins from WGL's retail marketing business. For the first half of 2022, the average Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate increased to 1.27 from an average of 1.25 in the same period of 2021, resulting in an increase in normalized EBITDA of approximately $4 million.

Income before income taxes for the first half of 2022 was $590 million, compared to $520 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher unrealized gains on risk management contracts, favourable adjustments to certain accruals for contingencies related to the acquisition of Petrogas, the absence of the pre-tax provision related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business in the first quarter of 2021, and higher pre-tax gains on the disposition of assets, partially offset by the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA, higher depreciation and amortization expense, and higher interest expense. Net income applicable to common shares for the first half of 2022 was $393 million ($1.40 per share), compared to $361 million ($1.29 per share) for the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the same previously referenced factors impacting income before income taxes and lower preferred share dividends due to the redemption of the Series K preferred shares on March 31, 2022, partially offset by higher net income applicable to non-controlling interests, the loss on redemption of preferred shares, and higher income tax expense.

Normalized funds from operations for the first half of 2022 was $632 million ($2.25 per share), compared to $741 million ($2.65 per share) for the same period in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the same factors impacting normalized EBITDA and higher interest expense, partially offset by lower current income tax expense.

Cash from operations for the first half of 2022 was $1,211 million ($4.31 per share), compared to $686 million ($2.45 per share) for the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly due to favourable variances in the net change in operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of fluctuations in commodity prices and sales volumes, partially offset by lower net income after taxes after adjusting for non-cash items. Please refer to the Liquidity section of this MD&A for further details on the variance in cash from operations.

In the first half of 2022, AltaGas recorded pre-tax gains on dispositions of assets of approximately $6 million related to the sale of an energy storage development project in Goleta, California and the previously mentioned dispositions in the second quarter of 2022. In the first half of 2021, AltaGas recorded pre-tax gains on dispositions of assets of approximately $4 million related to the previously mentioned dispositions in the second quarter of 2021. In addition, in the first half of 2021, AltaGas recorded pre-tax provisions of approximately $57 million ($46 million after-tax) primarily related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business.

Operating and administrative expenses for the first half of 2022 were $786 million, compared to $713 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher expenses at the utilities, higher logistics related costs at the export facilities, and higher operating expenses related to scheduled turnarounds. Depreciation and amortization expense for the first half of 2022 was $221 million, compared to $206 million for the same period in 2021.

sale of the Alaskan Utilities. Interest expense for the first half of 2022 was $146 million, compared to $139 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was predominantly due to $7 million of interest on the subordinated hybrid notes, higher average interest rates, and a higher average Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate, partially offset by lower average debt balances.

AltaGas recorded income tax expense of $124 million for the first half of 2022 compared to $105 million in the same period of 2021. The increase in tax expense was mainly due to higher income before income taxes in the first half of 2022. Current tax expense of approximately $43 million was recorded in the first half of 2022, which included $1 million of tax recovery related to asset sales, compared to current tax expense of $57 million in the same period of 2021, which included $18 million of tax expense on asset sales.

Normalized net income was $308 million ($1.10 per share) for the first half of 2022, compared to $384 million ($1.37 per share) for the same period in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA, higher net income applicable to non-controlling interests, higher depreciation and amortization expense, and higher interest expense, partially offset by lower normalized income tax expense. Normalizing items in the first half of 2022 reduced normalized net income by $85 million and included after‑tax amounts related to unrealized gains on risk management contracts, transaction costs and recoveries of acquired contingencies related to acquisitions and dispositions, non-controlling interest portion of non-GAAP adjustments, loss on redemption of preferred shares, and gains on sale of assets. Normalizing items in the first half of 2021 increased normalized net income by $23 million and included after‑tax amounts related to provisions on assets, gains on sale of assets, unrealized gains on risk management contracts, transaction costs and acquired contingencies related to acquisitions and dispositions, non-controlling interest portion of non-GAAP adjustments, and restructuring costs. Please refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this MD&A for further details on normalization adjustments.


2022 Outlook

In 2022, AltaGas expects to achieve annual consolidated normalized EBITDA of approximately $1.50 to $1.55 billion compared to actual normalized EBITDA of $1.49 billion in 2021, and normalized earnings of approximately $1.80 to $1.95 per share compared to actual normalized earnings per share and net income per share of $1.78 per share and $0.82 per share, respectively in 2021, assuming an effective tax rate of approximately 21 percent. For the year ended December 31, 2021, income before income taxes and net income applicable to common shares were $446 million and $230 million, respectively.

The Utilities segment is expected to contribute approximately 55 percent of normalized EBITDA, with growth driven primarily by revenue growth from rate cases settled in 2021, increased spend on accelerated capital programs, ongoing operational cost optimization activities, modest customer growth, and the expected discontinuation of COVID-19 related moratoriums in 2022. Expected growth in the Midstream segment is primarily driven by the continued volume growth of AltaGas' key assets through optimization initiatives at LPG export terminals and a favourable NGL and frac commodity price environment together with AltaGas' commodity hedging programs. Midstream segment earnings are expected to comprise approximately 45 percent of normalized EBITDA and are largely underpinned through take-or-pay, cost-of-service, and fee-for-service contracts across the Midstream facilities and through tolling agreements and merchant throughput at the LPG export facilities, which are all partially de-risked through hedged NGL and frac margins. Normalized EBITDA from the Corporate/Other segment, which includes AltaGas' remaining power assets, is expected to be higher in 2022 than in 2021 mainly due to lower expected expenses related to employee incentive plans. Overall growth is expected to offset lost normalized EBITDA from a full year impact of asset sales completed in 2021 and the impact of 2022 asset sales.

The forecasted normalized EBITDA and normalized earnings per share include updated assumptions around the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate. Within each segment, the performance of the underlying businesses has the potential to vary. Any variance from AltaGas’ current assumptions could impact the forecasted normalized EBITDA and normalized earnings per

share. Please refer to the Risk Management section of this MD&A for further discussions of the risks to AltaGas arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

At RIPET and Ferndale, NGL price margins are largely protected through AltaGas' comprehensive hedging programs. AltaGas is well hedged for the remainder of 2022 with approximately 75 percent of its expected remaining 2022 frac exposed volumes hedged at approximately $35/Bbl, prior to transportation costs. In addition, approximately 51 percent of AltaGas' expected export volumes for the remainder of 2022 are either tolled or financially hedged with an average FEI to North American financial hedge price of approximately US$13/Bbl for non-tolled propane and butane volumes. AltaGas plans to manage the export facilities such that a growing portion of annual capacity will be underpinned by tolling arrangements, and expects to reach this objective over the next several years.

Growth Capital

Based on projects currently under review, development, or construction, AltaGas expects invested capital expenditures of approximately $995 million in 2022 compared to $798 million in 2021. The majority of 2022 capital expenditures are expected to focus on projects within the Utilities platform that are anticipated to deliver stable and transparent rate base growth, positive risk-adjusted returns, and safe, reliable service for customers. The Utilities segment is expected to account for approximately 75 to 80 percent of total capital expenditures, while the Midstream segment is expected to account for approximately 20 percent and the Corporate/Other segment is expected to account for the balance. In 2022, AltaGas’ capital expenditures for the Utilities segment will focus primarily on accelerated pipe replacement programs, customer growth, and system betterment. In the Midstream segment, capital expenditures are anticipated to primarily relate to facility turnarounds, maintenance and administrative capital, optimization of existing assets, investment in Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives related to greenhouse gas emission reduction, and new business development. Maintenance capital related to Midstream assets and remaining power assets in the Corporate/Other segment is expected to be approximately $90 to $100 million of the total capital expenditures in 2022. The Corporation continues to focus on capital efficient organic growth and disciplined capital allocation while improving balance sheet strength and flexibility.

AltaGas' 2022 committed capital program is expected to be funded through internally-generated cash flow and normal course borrowings on existing committed credit facilities.

Please refer to the Net Invested Capital and Non-GAAP Financial Measures sections of this MD&A for additional information on the components of AltaGas' invested capital.

On January 25, 2022, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals (Fourth Circuit Court) vacated U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management permits that allow the pipeline to pass through 3.5 miles of the Jefferson National Forest. On February 2, 2022, the Fourth Circuit Court also issued a decision vacating MVP’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species Act Biological Opinion (Biological Opinion), remanding it on specific issues. Until the pipeline has a valid Biological Opinion, the Army Corps has stated they will not approve the necessary permits. On March 11, 2022, MVP filed two petitions with the Fourth Circuit Court seeking a rehearing to reconsider these decisions. The request for rehearing was denied on March 25, 2022. MVP continues to review these decisions and evaluate the possible paths forward, which include working with the relevant federal agencies and the considerations of potential legal appeals. On April 8, 2022, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved MVP's request to change the crossing method and other construction changes at certain waterbodies and wetlands, subject to certain conditions. On June 24, 2022, MVP filed a request with FERC to extend the time to complete construction by four years to October 13, 2026. Total project costs are expected to be US$6.6 billion. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 94 percent of the project is complete, which includes construction of all original interconnects and compressor stations. AltaGas' exposure is contractually capped to the original estimated contributions of approximately US$352 million. In the fourth quarter of 2021, AltaGas impaired its equity investment in MVP to a carrying value of US$352 million as a result of these ongoing legal and regulatory challenges.

(3)In prior periods, invested capital did not include adjustments for the cost of removal of utility assets; however, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, Management has adjusted for these costs to better align with the investing section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As such, prior periods in 2021 have been restated to reflect this change.

Invested capital is a measure of AltaGas' use of funds for capital expenditure activities. It includes expenditures relating to property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, capital contributed to long term investments, and contributions from non-controlling interests. Net invested capital is invested capital presented net of any proceeds from disposals of assets and equity investments in the period. Net invested capital is calculated based on the investing activities section in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, adjusted for items such as non-cash capital expenditures, cash acquired in business acquisitions, and contributions from non-controlling interests. Invested capital and net invested capital are used by Management, investors, and analysts to enhance the understanding of AltaGas' capital expenditures from period to period and provide additional detail on the Company's use of capital.

(3)A degree day is a measure of coldness determined daily as the number of degrees the average temperature during the day in question is below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Degree days for a particular period are determined by adding the degree days incurred during each day of the period. Normal degree days for a particular period are the average of degree days during the prior 15 years for SEMCO Gas, during the prior 10 years for ENSTAR, and during the prior 30 years for Washington Gas.
(4)In certain of Washington Gas’ jurisdictions (Virginia and Maryland) there are billing mechanisms in place which are designed to eliminate the effects of variance in customer usage caused by weather and other factors such as conservation. In the District of Columbia, there is no weather normalization billing mechanism nor does Washington Gas hedge to offset the effects of weather. As a result, colder or warmer weather will result in variances to financial results.


During the second quarter of 2022, AltaGas’ Utilities segment experienced colder weather at SEMCO and warmer weather at Washington Gas and ENSTAR compared to the same quarter of 2021.

During the first half of 2022, AltaGas’ Utilities segment experienced colder weather at SEMCO and Washington Gas and warmer weather at ENSTAR compared to the same period in 2021.

Service sites at June 30, 2022 increased by approximately 21,000 sites compared to June 30, 2021 due to growth in customer base.

In the second quarter of 2022, U.S. retail gas sales volumes were 10,469 Mmcf, compared to 9,887 Mmcf in the same quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher wholesale sales compared to the same quarter of 2021. U.S. retail electricity sales volumes were 3,123 GWh in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 3,201 GWh in the same quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in customers, primarily residential accounts, served by the business compared to the same quarter of 2021.

In the first half of 2022, U.S. retail gas sales volumes were 34,106 Mmcf, compared to 34,583 Mmcf in the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to warmer weather in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. U.S. retail electricity sales volumes were 6,219 GWh in the first half of 2022, compared to 6,449 GWh in the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to warmer weather and a decrease in customers served by the business.

Normalized EBITDA in the Utilities segment was $116 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $99 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase in normalized EBITDA was mainly due to higher gas margins from WGL's retail marketing business, higher revenue from accelerated pipe replacement program spend, an increase in asset optimization activities at Washington Gas, customer growth, favourable usage in certain jurisdictions, colder weather in Michigan, higher collection of late payment fees, and an impact of approximately $2 million due to the change in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by higher operating and administrative expenses, lower power margins from WGL's retail marketing business, and warmer weather in Alaska.

The Utilities segment loss before income taxes was $9 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to income before income taxes of $68 million in the same quarter of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to higher losses on risk management contracts mainly within the retail marketing business, partially offset by the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA.

Six Months Ended June 30

The Utilities segment reported normalized EBITDA of $523 million in the first half of 2022, compared to $471 million in the same period in 2021. The increase in normalized EBITDA was mainly due to the impact of Washington Gas' 2020 Maryland and District of Columbia rate cases, an increase in asset optimization activities at Washington Gas, higher gas margins from WGL's retail marketing business, higher revenue from accelerated pipe replacement program spend, favourable usage in certain jurisdictions, colder weather in Michigan, customer growth, and an impact of approximately $3 million due to the change in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by higher operating and administrative expenses, lower power margins from WGL's retail marketing business, and warmer weather in Alaska.

The Utilities segment income before income taxes was $416 million in the first half of 2022, compared to $374 million in the same period of 2021. The increase was mainly due to the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA, partially offset by lower gains on risk management contracts mainly within the retail marketing business.

Rate Case Updates

Utility/JurisdictionDate FiledRequestStatusExpected Timing of Decision
Washington Gas - District of ColumbiaApril 2022
US$53 million increase in base rates, including US$5 million currently collected through the PROJECTpipes surcharge. Therefore, the incremental amount of the base rate increase requested was approximately US$48 million.
On April 4, 2022, Washington Gas filed an application for authority to increase charges for gas service in the District of Columbia. The requested rates are designed to collect approximately US$53 million in total annual revenues requesting a 10.4 percent rate of return on equity. Of the requested revenue increase, approximately US$5 million represents costs currently collected through the PROJECTpipes surcharge; therefore, the incremental amount of the base rate increase is approximately US$48 million. Washington Gas requests that new rates be implemented in February 2023.
Timing of decision not yet known. Washington Gas has requested that new rates be implemented in February 2023.
Washington Gas - VirginiaJune 2022US$48 million increase in base rates, plus the request to transfer an additional US$39 million currently collected in SAVE surcharge into base rates, for a total increase of approximately US$87 million.
On June 29, 2022, Washington Gas filed an application for authority to increase rates in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The requested rates are designed to collect an incremental US$48 million in total annual revenues requesting a 10.75 percent rate of return on equity. This base rate increase is separate from the US$39 million revenue requirement relating to transferring expenditures incurred under Washington Gas' Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (SAVE) Plan accelerated infrastructure replacement program to base rates and reset the surcharge. Washington Gas may implement the proposed rates (on an interim basis subject to refund) on November 26, 2022. Evidentiary hearing is scheduled to begin in May 2, 2023.

Utility/JurisdictionDate FiledRequestStatusExpected Timing of Decision
Washington Gas - MarylandAugust 2020US$27 million increase in base rates, including US$6 million currently collected through the Strategic Infrastructure Development Enhancement Plan (STRIDE) surcharges for system upgrades. Therefore, the incremental amount of the base rate increase requested was approximately US$21 million.
On April 9, 2021, a final order was received from the Public Service Commission of Maryland (PSC of MD) related to this rate increase application, authorizing Washington Gas to increase its Maryland natural gas distribution rates by approximately US$13 million (including US$5 million currently collected through the STRIDE surcharge), reflecting a return on equity of 9.70 percent. The revenue increase became effective on March 26, 2021. On May 14, 2021, the Maryland Office of People's Counsel (MD OPC) filed a petition for re-hearing of the PSC of MD's finding on merger synergy savings and certain rate base additions. The request was denied and on August 31, 2021, the MD OPC filed an appeal of the PSC of MD's denial of their petition for a re-hearing with the Circuit Court of Baltimore City (Circuit Court). On February 25, 2022, the Circuit Court reversed the July 29, 2021 order from the PSC of MD and remanded two issues back to the PSC of MD. On March 10, 2022, the PSC of MD filed a Motion to Alter or Amend Judgement to the Circuit Court's ruling on the merger synergy savings issue and the MD OPC filed a response. On May 31, 2022, the Circuit Court granted the PSC of MD and Washington Gas’ joint motion, determining that the PSC of MD properly permitted Washington Gas’ recovery of corporate costs and relieving the PSC of MD of the obligation to rule on merger synergy savings on remand. The PSC of MD must still issue an order on the challenged rate base additions, per the Court’s original ruling. On June 30, 2022, the MD OPC appealed the Circuit Court’s new order on merger synergy savings to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. Washington Gas anticipates a final decision from the Court of Special Appeals by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
Final order issued April 2021
CINGSAJuly 2021US$1.9 million revenue increase.On July 1, 2021, CINGSA filed a rate case with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) seeking approval for approximately US$1.9 million revenue increase based on US$105 million rate base, 11.9 percent return on equity (ROE) and 59.99 percent equity thickness. The filing proposed an across-the-board 2 percent interim rate increase to be effective August 1, 2021, which the RCA approved on July 29, 2021. Discovery on CINGSA's direct testimony closed on December 30, 2021, CINGSA filed supplemental testimony on January 31, 2022, and interveners' testimony was due on February 11, 2022. On June 14, 2022, CINGSA and interveners filed a partial stipulation settling all issues with the exception of the found gas matter. If approved by the Commission, the partial stipulation will result in a revenue increase of approximately US$0.1 million or 0.32 percent based on 10.6 percent ROE, a 4.87 percent cost of debt, and a capital structure consisting of 40.01 percent debt and 59.99 percent equity with a stipulated rate base of approximately US$101 million.Around Q3 2022

LPG volumes exported to Asia from RIPET and Ferndale for the three months ended June 30, 2022 averaged 110,845 Bbls/d compared to 90,106 Bbls/d for the same period in 2021. There were 18 full shipments and one partial shipment in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 15 full shipments in the same period of 2021. Higher export volumes were primarily the result of increased offtake demand, higher available supply, and improved logistics.

LPG volumes exported to Asia from RIPET and Ferndale for the six months ended June 30, 2022 averaged 99,469 Bbls/d compared to 87,798 Bbls/d for the same period in 2021. There were 32 full shipments and one partial shipment in the first half of 2022 compared to 29 full shipments in the same period of 2021. Higher export volumes and shipments were the result of increased offtake demand, higher available supply, and improved logistics.

Inlet gas processing volumes for the second quarter of 2022 decreased by 255 Mmcf/d compared to the same quarter of 2021. Lower inlet gas processing volumes in the second quarter of 2022 were the result of the Aitken Creek sale and scheduled turnarounds at the Harmattan, Townsend, and Gordondale facilities.

Inlet gas processing volumes for the first half of 2022 decreased by 160 Mmcf/d compared to the same period in 2021. Lower inlet gas processing volumes in the first half of 2022 were a result of the Aitken Creek sale and scheduled turnarounds at the Harmattan, Townsend, and Gordondale facilities.

Average ethane volumes for the second quarter of 2022 decreased by 7,161 Bbls/d, while average extracted NGL volumes decreased by 7,668 Bbls/d compared to the same quarter of 2021. Lower ethane volumes were a result of the scheduled turnaround at Harmattan, which had an impact of approximately 4,000 Bbls/d, combined with reinjected ethane volumes at the extraction facilities due to lower customer demand. Lower extracted NGL volumes were due to lower raw gas inlet volumes as a result of scheduled turnarounds at the Townsend, Harmattan and Gordondale facilities, and lower inlet volumes at the extraction facilities due to scheduled maintenance.


AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 26


Average ethane volumes for the first half of 2022 decreased by 4,883 Bbls/d, while average extracted NGL volumes decreased by 4,977 Bbls/d compared to the same period in 2021. Lower ethane volumes were a result of the scheduled turnaround at Harmattan which had an impact of approximately 4,700 Bbls/d, combined with lower contracted ethane volumes at the extraction facilities. Lower extracted NGL volumes were a result of scheduled turnarounds at the Townsend and Gordondale facilities, and lower inlet volumes at the extraction facilities due to scheduled maintenance.

Fractionation volumes for the second quarter of 2022 were consistent with the same quarter of 2021, as higher North Pine volumes and utilization more than offset the lost volumes due to the planned turnarounds.

Fractionation volumes for the first half of 2022 increased by 2,763 Bbls/d compared to the same period in 2021. Higher fractionation volumes were a result of the Aitken Creek expansion, partially offset by scheduled turnarounds at the Harmattan and North Pine facilities.

The Midstream segment reported normalized EBITDA of $133 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $142 million in the same quarter of 2021. The decrease in normalized EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 was mainly due to lower propane and butane margins at the export facilities, a hedge loss associated with revenue recognized for export cargos loaded at the end of the first quarter, lower marketing margins due to the sale of NGL volumes in storage to the market at a premium in 2021, higher logistics related costs in the export business, the impact of the Aitken Creek sale, and lower processing and fractionation volumes due to scheduled turnarounds. Normalized EBITDA in the Midstream segment in the second quarter of 2022 was positively impacted by higher export volumes at RIPET and Ferndale, a $9 million cash contract termination payout related to the sale of Aitken Creek, higher revenues at NGL terminals due to higher volumes and pricing, higher earnings at the extraction facilities driven by stronger commodity prices, and higher fractionation and liquids handling revenues from the NEBC facilities.

Income before income taxes in the Midstream segment was $181 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $54 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to favourable adjustments to certain accruals for contingencies related to the acquisition of Petrogas and higher unrealized gains on risk management contracts, partially offset by the absence of the partial reversal of a provision related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business in the second quarter of 2021 and the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Midstream segment recognized a pre-tax gain on disposition of assets of approximately $1 million related to the sale of AltaGas' interest in the Aitken Creek processing facilities. In the second quarter of 2021, the Midstream segment recognized pre-tax gains on dispositions of assets of $3 million on the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business and $1 million on other minor asset sales. In addition, in the second quarter of 2021, the Midstream segment recorded a $19 million partial reversal of the provision recorded in the first quarter of 2021 due to an increase in the fair value of the net assets held for sale upon close of the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business in April 2021.

The Midstream segment reported normalized EBITDA of $307 million in the first half of 2022, compared to $446 million in the same period in 2021. The decrease in normalized EBITDA in the first half of 2022 was mainly due to absence of strong contributions from WGL Midstream in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business in April 2021, lower NGL marketing margins due to the sale of NGL volumes in storage to the market at a premium in 2021, lower butane and propane margins at the export facilities, higher logistics costs related to the export business, the impact of the Aitken Creek sale, and lower processing and fractionation volumes due to scheduled turnarounds. Factors positively impacting normalized EBITDA in the first half of 2022 include higher export volumes at RIPET and Ferndale, a $9 million cash contract termination payout related to the sale of Aitken Creek, higher fractionation and liquids handling revenues

and higher processed volumes at the NEBC facilities, higher crude marketing margins, and higher earnings at the extraction facilities driven by stronger commodity prices.

Income before income taxes in the Midstream segment was $341 million in the first half of 2022, compared to $291 million in the first half of 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher unrealized gains on risk management contracts, the absence of the pre-tax provision related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business in the first quarter of 2021, and favourable adjustments to certain accruals for contingencies related to the acquisition of Petrogas, partially offset by the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA and higher depreciation expense.

In the first half of 2022, the Midstream segment recognized a pre-tax gain on disposition of assets of approximately $1 million related the previously mentioned disposition in the second quarter of 2022. In the first half of 2021, the Midstream segment recognized pre-tax gains on dispositions of assets of approximately $4 million related to the previously mentioned dispositions in the second quarter of 2021. In addition, in the first half of 2021, the Midstream segment recognized pre-tax provisions of approximately $57 million ($46 million after-tax) primarily related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business.

In the Corporate/Other segment, normalized EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 was a loss of $3 million, compared to a loss of $11 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase in normalized EBITDA was mainly due to lower expenses related to employee incentive plans as a result of an increase in share price in the second quarter of 2021 compared to a decrease in share price in the second quarter of 2022.

Loss before income taxes in the Corporate/Other segment was $87 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $75 million in the same quarter of 2021. The higher loss was mainly due to higher interest expense and the loss on the disposition of a power plant in Brush, Colorado, partially offset by the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Corporate/Other segment recognized a pre-tax loss on disposition of assets of approximately $2 million related to the sale of a power plant in Brush, Colorado.

Loss before income taxes in the Corporate/Other segment was $167 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $145 million in the same quarter of 2021. The higher loss was mainly due to higher interest expense and the loss on the disposition of a power plant in Brush, Colorado, partially offset by the same previously referenced factors impacting normalized EBITDA and the gain on the disposition of an energy storage development project in Goleta, California in the first quarter of 2022.

In the first half of 2022, the Corporate/Other segment recognized pre-tax gains on dispositions of assets of approximately $5 million related to the sale of an energy storage development project in Goleta, California and the previously mentioned dispositions in the second quarter of 2022. In the first half of 2021, the Corporate/Other segment recognized a pre-tax loss of approximately $1 million on the previously mentioned sale of the last remaining U.S. distributed generation project.

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 29




During the second quarter of 2022, AltaGas’ invested capital was $234 million, compared to $208 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase in invested capital was primarily due to higher additions to property, plant and equipment as a result of higher spend on accelerated pipe replacement and new business programs at Washington Gas, and higher turnaround maintenance capital in the Midstream segment, partially offset by the absence of spend on the Nig Creek Expansion in the second quarter of 2021 and lower capital invested at consolidated Petrogas facilities. The asset dispositions in the second quarter of 2022 primarily related to proceeds received from the sales of AltaGas' interest in the Aitken Creek processing facilities and a power plant in Brush, Colorado. The asset dispositions in the second quarter of 2021 primarily related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business.

Invested capital in the second quarter of 2022 included maintenance capital of $37 million (2021 ‑ $3 million), all within the Midstream segment. The increase in Midstream maintenance capital in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily related to planned turnaround maintenance capital at the Harmattan, Townsend, and Gordondale facilities, as well as routine maintenance expenditures incurred at the Harmattan and Petrogas facilities.

During the second quarter of 2022, AltaGas' cash flow from investing activities was an inflow of $31 million compared to $212 million in the same quarter of 2021. Please refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Liquidity sections of this MD&A for further information on AltaGas' cash flow from investing activities.

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 30




In the first half of 2022, AltaGas’ invested capital was $376 million, compared to $340 million in the same period of 2021. The increase in invested capital was primarily due to higher capital additions to property, plant and equipment as a result of higher spend on system betterment, new business, and accelerated pipe replacement programs at Washington Gas, and turnaround maintenance capital in the Midstream segment, partially offset by the absence of spend on the Nig Creek expansion in the first half of 2021 and lower capital invested at consolidated Petrogas facilities. The asset dispositions in the first half of 2022 primarily related to proceeds received from the sale of an energy storage development project in Goleta, California and the previously mentioned dispositions in the second quarter of 2022. The asset dispositions in the first half of 2021 primarily related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business.

The invested capital in the first half of 2022 included maintenance capital of $39 million (2021 ‑ $6 million) in the Midstream segment and $8 million (2021 ‑ $5 million) related to remaining power assets in the Corporate/Other segment. The increase in Midstream maintenance capital was primarily due to planned turnaround maintenance capital at the Harmattan, Townsend, and Gordondale facilities, as well as routine maintenance expenditures incurred at the Harmattan and Petrogas facilities. The increase in maintenance capital in the Corporate/Other segment was primarily due to a planned spring outage at Blythe.

During the first half of 2022, AltaGas' cash flow from investing activities was an outflow of $128 million, compared to an inflow of $21 million in the first half of 2021. Please refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Liquidity sections of this MD&A for further information on AltaGas' cash flow from investing activities.


Liquidity

As a result of certain commitments made to the PSC of DC, the PSC of MD, and the SCC of VA in respect of the WGL Acquisition, Washington Gas is subject to certain restrictions when paying dividends to AltaGas. However, AltaGas does not expect that this will have an impact on AltaGas’ ability to meet its obligations.

In addition, Wrangler SPE LLC and Washington Gas made certain ring fencing commitments to the PSC of DC, the PSC of MD, and the SCC of VA with the intention of removing Washington Gas from the bankruptcy estate of AltaGas and its affiliates, other than Washington Gas and Wrangler SPE LLC (together, the “Ring Fenced Entities”). Because of these ring fencing measures, none of the assets of the Ring Fenced Entities would be available to satisfy the debt or contractual obligations of AltaGas or any non-Ring Fenced Entity Affiliate, including any indebtedness or other contractual obligations of AltaGas, and the Ring Fenced Entities do not bear any liability for indebtedness or other contractual obligations of any non-Ring Fenced Entity, and vice versa.

Cash From Operations

Cash from operations increased by $525 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to favourable variances in the net change in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by lower net income after taxes (after adjusting for non-cash items). The majority of the variance in net change in operating assets and liabilities was due to higher cash flows from accounts payable and accrued liabilities driven by fluctuations in purchasing volumes and commodity prices as well as higher cash flows from customer deposits due to an increase in cash collateral received from counterparties as a result of higher commodity prices in the period, partially offset by lower cash flows from inventory and accounts receivable due to fluctuations in commodity prices and sales volumes.

The increase in the working capital ratio was primarily due to the reclassification of assets held for sale related to the pending sale of AltaGas' Alaskan Utilities, increases in accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents, and a decrease in short-term debt, partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current portion of long-term debt, liabilities associated with assets held for sale, customer deposits, and risk management liabilities. AltaGas’ working capital will fluctuate in the normal course of business.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $128 million, compared to cash from investing activities of $21 million in the same period in 2021. Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included proceeds of approximately $245 million primarily related to the disposition of the interest in the Aitken Creek processing facilities and a 60 MW stand-alone energy development project in Goleta, California, partially offset by expenditures of approximately $372 million for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and approximately $1 million of contributions to equity investments. Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily included proceeds of approximately $344 million from the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business and other minor asset sales, partially offset by expenditures of approximately $309 million for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, approximately $7 million of contributions to equity investments, and $7 million for other changes in investing activities.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $921 million, compared to $716 million in the same period in 2021. Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily comprised of net repayments

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 32


of short-term debt and long-term debt of $162 million, net repayments under credit facilities of $592 million, dividends of $172 million, redemption of preferred shares of $300 million, and distributions to non-controlling interests of $10 million, partially offset by the issuance of subordinated hybrid notes, net of debt issuance costs, of $297 million and proceeds from shares issued on exercise of options of $18 million. Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily comprised of net repayments of short-term debt and long-term debt of $200 million, net repayments under credit facilities of $894 million, dividends of $168 million, and distributions to non-controlling interests of $12 million, partially offset by long-term debt issuances of $545 million, contributions from non-controlling interests of $1 million, and proceeds from shares issued on exercise of options of $12 million.


Capital Resources

AltaGas' objective for managing capital is to maintain its investment grade credit ratings, ensure adequate liquidity, optimize the profitability of its existing assets and grow its energy infrastructure to create long‑term value and enhance returns for its investors. AltaGas' capital structure is comprised of shareholders' equity (including non‑controlling interests), short‑term and long‑term debt (including the current portion and debt classified as held for sale), and subordinated hybrid notes, less cash and cash equivalents.

The use of debt or equity funding is based on AltaGas’ capital structure, which is determined by considering the norms and risks associated with operations and cash flow stability and sustainability.

(1)For the purposes of the net debt calculation, short-term debt excludes third-party project financing obtained on behalf of the United States federal government to provide funds for the construction of certain energy management services projects. As this debt was obtained on behalf of the U.S. government, AltaGas would only need to repay in the event that the project is not completed or accepted by the government.

On February 22, 2021, a $2.5 billion base shelf prospectus for the issuance of certain types of future public debt and/or equity issuances was filed to replace the base shelf prospectus dated September 25, 2019. This enables AltaGas to access the Canadian capital markets on a timely basis during the 25-month period that the base shelf prospectus remains effective. As at June 30, 2022, approximately $1.7 billion was available under the base shelf prospectus.

On February 22, 2021, AltaGas filed a US$2.0 billion short form base shelf prospectus in both Alberta and the U.S. to replace the US$2.0 billion short form base shelf prospectus filed on January 21, 2020. This will enable AltaGas to access the U.S. capital markets during the 25-month period that the base shelf prospectus remains effective. As at June 30, 2022, US$2.0 billion was available under the base shelf prospectus.


Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, AltaGas transacts with its subsidiaries, affiliates, and joint ventures. There were no significant changes in the nature of the related party transactions described in Note 30 of the 2021 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Risk Management

Risks Related to COVID-19

To date, AltaGas has been able to respond to the COVID-19 related challenges without materially disrupting its operations and business. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, further impacts will depend on future developments and factors outside of AltaGas' control, which are uncertain, evolving, and cannot be predicted. This includes new information which may emerge concerning the severity or duration of the pandemic, including new COVID-19 variants and the efficacy of vaccines, as well as actions taken by governments and others to contain or mitigate the impacts of COVID-19. Such developments could include disruptions which may have an adverse effect on our customers, suppliers, regulators, business, operations, or financial results. AltaGas continues to take proactive steps to effectively prepare for and address the evolution of risks and regulatory mandates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. There can be no assurance that AltaGas' strategies to address potential disruptions will mitigate these risks or the adverse impacts to its business, operations, and financial results. While the Company has managed the return to work for personnel at all of its workplaces, AltaGas' approach has been, and will continue to be, risk-based and guided by its core values. The health and safety of AltaGas' employees, customers, contractors, and the communities in which it operates is the top priority and is integrated into each aspect of AltaGas' response efforts.

AltaGas has identified the following as potential direct or indirect impacts to its business and operations from the pandemic:

COVID-19 variants: Widespread inability of AltaGas’ workforce or contractors to perform their duties as a result of pervasive incidence of a COVID-19 variant or inability to comply with any applicable mandates on a timely basis would have an adverse impact on AltaGas’ ability to continue normal operations; and
Return to work: While the Company has managed the return to work for personnel at all of its workplaces, the occurrence of additional waves of the virus or its variants may require AltaGas to reassess current work models.

To the extent these risks materialize, the Corporation’s ability to carry out its business plans for the remainder of 2022 may be adversely impacted.

Political Uncertainty, Terrorism and Activism

Uncertainty exists with regard to the political climate globally and in the jurisdictions where AltaGas operates. Changes in social, political, regulatory, or economic conditions, or in laws and policies governing health and safety, environment, development, tax, foreign trade, investment or energy could materially adversely affect AltaGas' business and operations. Terrorist attacks and threats (including cyber-attacks), escalation of military activity or acts of war, or other civil unrest or activism may have significant effects on general economic conditions and could adversely affect AltaGas' business. Future terrorist attacks, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the U.S. or Canada, or military or trade disruptions may significantly affect AltaGas' operations. Strategic targets, such as energy related assets, may be at greater risk of future attacks than other targets in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, Canadian and American government agencies have increased their warnings of potential cyberattacks by Russia against critical North American infrastructure. Further, increased environmental activism against pipeline construction and operation could potentially result in work delays, reduced demand for AltaGas' products and services, increased legislation or denial or delay of permits and rights-of-way. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could adversely affect AltaGas' business, operations or financial results.

Other

AltaGas is exposed to various market risks in the normal course of operations that could impact earnings and cash flows. AltaGas enters into physical and financial derivative contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, as well as to optimize certain owned and managed natural gas assets. The Board of Directors of AltaGas has established a risk management policy for the Corporation establishing AltaGas’ risk management control framework. Derivative instruments are governed under, and subject to, this policy. As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair values of the Corporation’s derivatives were as follows:

Summary of Risk Management Contracts

Commodity Price Contracts
The average indicative spot NGL frac spread for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $35/Bbl (2021 - $23/Bbl), inclusive of basis differentials. The average NGL frac spread realized by AltaGas (based on average spot price and realized hedge price inclusive of basis differentials) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $26/Bbl inclusive of basis differentials (2021 - $13/Bbl).
At RIPET and Ferndale, NGL price margins are largely protected through AltaGas' comprehensive hedging programs. AltaGas is well hedged for the remainder of 2022 with approximately 75 percent of its expected 2022 frac exposed volumes hedged at approximately $35/Bbl, prior to transportation costs. In addition, approximately 51 percent of AltaGas' expected export volumes for the remainder of 2022 are either tolled or financially hedged with an average FEI to North American financial hedge price of approximately US$13/Bbl for non-tolled propane and butane volumes. AltaGas plans to manage the export facilities such that a growing portion of annual capacity will be underpinned by tolling arrangements, and expects to reach this objective over the next several years.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Since a determination of the value of many assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is dependent upon future events, the preparation of AltaGas' Consolidated Financial Statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that have been made using careful judgment. AltaGas’ significant accounting policies have remained unchanged and are contained in the notes to the 2021 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain of these policies involve critical accounting estimates as a result of the requirement to make particularly subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

AltaGas’ critical accounting estimates relate to revenue recognition, financial instruments, depreciation and amortization expense, accounting for leases, asset retirement obligations and other environmental costs, impairment assessments, inventory valuation, income taxes, pension plans and post-retirement benefits, regulatory assets and liabilities, and contingencies. For a full discussion of these accounting estimates, refer to the 2021 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A and Note 2 of the unaudited condensed interim Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.



AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 40


Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2022, AltaGas adopted the following Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU):

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Topic 815-40 - Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contract in an Entity's Own Equity". The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements; and

In July 2021, FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 "Leases (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments". The amendments in this ASU affect lessors with lease contracts that have variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease that and would have resulted in the recognition of a selling loss at lease commencement if classified as sales-type or direct financing. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.


Future Changes in Accounting Principles

In October 2021, FASB issued ASU 2021-08 "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". The amendments in this ASU require an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10 "Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance". The amendments in this ASU require annual disclosure about transactions with a government entity, including the nature of the transactions, the method applied to account for the government assistance, impacted line items on the financial statements, and significant terms and conditions of the agreement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and could either be applied prospectively to all new transactions with a government that are entered into after the date of initial application or retrospectively to those transactions. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method". The amendments in this ASU will allow non-prepayable financial assets to be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method and promote consistency in single and multiple hedged layers. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures". The amendments in this ASU will eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, as well as require the disclosure of current-period write offs by

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 41


year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and should be applied prospectively with an option to apply on a modified retrospective basis for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

AltaGas did not enter into any material off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Reference should be made to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021 for further information on off-balance sheet arrangements.


Disclosure Controls and Procedures (DCP) and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (ICFR)

Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining DCP and ICFR, as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52‑109 "Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings". The objective of this instrument is to improve the quality, reliability, and transparency of information that is filed or submitted under securities legislation.

Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, DCP and ICFR to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by AltaGas in its annual filings, interim filings, or other reports to be filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is made known to them, is reported on a timely basis, financial reporting is reliable, and financial statements prepared for external purposes are in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The ICFR has been designed based on the framework established in the 2013 Internal Control ‑ Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Management has designed the existing framework to result in both a complete and accurate consolidation of related information. During the period covered by this MD&A, there were no changes made to AltaGas’ ICFR that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its ICFR.

It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, including instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurances that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential conditions.

AltaGas’ quarter-over-quarter financial results are impacted by seasonality, fluctuations in commodity prices, weather, the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate, planned and unplanned plant outages, timing of in-service dates of new projects, and acquisition and divestiture activities.

Revenue for the Utilities is generally the highest in the first and fourth quarters of any given year as the majority of natural gas demand occurs during the winter heating season, which typically extends from November to March.

Other significant items that impacted quarter-over-quarter revenue during the periods noted include:

The seasonally colder weather experienced at several of the utilities in the third quarter of 2020;
The impact of the sale of Pomona and Ripon in the third quarter of 2020;
The impact of the acquisition of additional equity interest in Petrogas in the fourth quarter of 2020;
The impact of the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business in the second quarter of 2021; and
The impact of the sale of AltaGas' interest in the Aitken Creek processing facilities.

Net income (loss) applicable to common shares is also affected by non-cash items such as deferred income tax, depreciation and amortization expense, accretion expense, provisions on assets, gains or losses on long-term investments, and gains or losses on the sale of assets. In addition, net income (loss) applicable to common shares is also impacted by preferred share

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 43


dividends. For these reasons, the net income (loss) may not necessarily reflect the same trends as revenue. Net income (loss) applicable to common shares during the periods noted was impacted by:

After-tax transaction costs and acquired contingencies of approximately $28 million and $18 million incurred throughout 2021 and 2020, respectively, due to the acquisition of Petrogas and other asset sales;
The impact of the sale of Pomona and Ripon in the third quarter of 2020;
The after-tax provision of approximately $79 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the Alton Natural Gas Storage Project;
The impact of the change in accounting principle relating to Washington Gas' net periodic pension and other post-retirement benefit plan costs in the third quarter of 2020;
The impact of the acquisition of additional equity interest in Petrogas in the fourth quarter of 2020;
The impact of the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business in the second quarter of 2021;
The after-tax provision of approximately $43 million recognized in 2021 related to the sale of the U.S. transportation and storage business;
The after-tax provision on equity investments of approximately $209 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to AltaGas' investments in MVP, which includes the Mountain Valley Pipeline and MVP Southgate projects;
The gain on sale of the energy storage development project in Goleta, California in the first quarter of 2022;
The loss on the Series K Preferred Shares that were redeemed on March 31, 2022; and
Favourable adjustments to certain accruals for contingencies related to the acquisition of Petrogas in the second quarter of 2022.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited condensed interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Management in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). As a result, these unaudited condensed interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 2021 annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In Management's opinion, these unaudited condensed interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Corporation.

Pursuant to National Instrument 52‑107, "Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards" (NI 52‑107), financial statements of an “SEC issuer” may be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On February 22, 2021, AltaGas filed a final short form base shelf prospectus in Alberta and a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 in the United States, by virtue of which AltaGas is required to file reports under section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, AltaGas is an SEC issuer and is entitled to prepare its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

These unaudited condensed interim Consolidated Financial Statements of AltaGas include the accounts of the Corporation, its subsidiaries, variable interest entities (VIEs) for which the Corporation is the primary beneficiary, and its interest in various partnerships and joint ventures where AltaGas has an undivided interest in the assets and liabilities. Investments in unconsolidated companies that AltaGas has significant influence, but not control over are accounted for using the equity method.

All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Where there is a party with a non‑controlling interest in a subsidiary that AltaGas controls, that non‑controlling interest is reflected as “non‑controlling interests” in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The non‑controlling interests in net income (or loss) of consolidated subsidiaries are shown as an allocation of the consolidated net income and are presented separately in "net income applicable to non-controlling interests".

USE OF ESTIMATES AND MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Key areas where Management has made complex or subjective judgments, when matters are inherently uncertain, include but are not limited to: determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations for revenue recognition; depreciation and amortization rates; determination as to whether a contract is or contains a lease; determination of the classification, term, and discount rate for leases; fair value of asset retirement obligations; valuation of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value; fair value of property, plant and equipment, investments accounted for by the equity method, and goodwill for impairment assessments; fair value of financial instruments; measurement of credit losses; provisions for income taxes; assumptions used to measure employee future benefits; provisions for contingencies; purchase price allocations; and carrying value of regulatory assets and liabilities. Certain estimates are necessary for the regulatory environment in which AltaGas' subsidiaries or affiliates operate, which often require amounts to be recorded at estimated values until these amounts are

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 52


finalized pursuant to regulatory decisions or other regulatory proceedings. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and may impact the Consolidated Financial Statements of future periods.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as noted below, these unaudited condensed interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods as those used in preparing the Corporation's 2021 annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective January 1, 2022, AltaGas adopted the following Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU):

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Topic 815-40 - Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contract in an Entity's Own Equity". The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements; and

In July 2021, FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 "Leases (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments". The amendments in this ASU affect lessors with lease contracts that have variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease that and would have resulted in the recognition of a selling loss at lease commencement if classified as sales-type or direct financing. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.


FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

In October 2021, FASB issued ASU 2021-08 "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". The amendments in this ASU require an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10 "Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance". The amendments in this ASU require annual disclosure about transactions with a government entity, including the nature of the transactions, the method applied to account for the government assistance, impacted line items on the financial statements, and significant terms and conditions of the agreement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and could either be applied prospectively to all new transactions with a government that are entered into after the date of initial application or retrospectively to those transactions. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.


AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 53


In March 2022, FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method". The amendments in this ASU will allow non-prepayable financial assets to be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method and promote consistency in single and multiple hedged layers. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures". The amendments in this ASU will eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, as well as require the disclosure of current-period write offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and should be applied prospectively with an option to apply on a modified retrospective basis for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on AltaGas' consolidated financial statements.

As such, the carrying value of the assets and liabilities related to this business were classified as held for sale at June 30, 2022, which resulted in the reclassification of $965 million of assets to assets held for sale and $249 million of liabilities to liabilities associated with assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The transaction is expected to close no later than the first quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

to this sale, however due to an increase in the fair value of the net assets held for sale upon close of the transaction in April 2021, a $19 million partial reversal of the provision was subsequently recorded in the second quarter of 2021. The pre-tax provisions were recorded against intangible assets.

9. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

AltaGas consolidates a variable interest entity (VIE) where the Corporation is deemed the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance such as being the provider of construction, operating, and marketing services to the entity. In addition, the primary beneficiary of a VIE also has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. AltaGas determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the following VIEs:

Ridley Island LPG Export Limited Partnership

On May 5, 2017, AltaGas LPG Limited Partnership (AltaGas LPG), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AltaGas, and Vopak Development Canada Inc. (Vopak), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koninklijke Vopak N.V. (Royal Vopak), a public company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, formed the Ridley Island LPG Export Limited Partnership (RILE LP) to develop, own, and operate the Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal (RIPET). AltaGas’ subsidiaries hold a 70 percent interest while Vopak holds a 30 percent interest in RILE LP. The construction cost of RIPET was funded by AltaGas LPG and Vopak in proportion to their respective interests in RILE LP. As part of the arrangements, AltaGas entered into a long-term agreement for the capacity of RIPET with RILE LP, and AltaGas and certain of its subsidiaries provide operating services to RILE LP.

AltaGas has determined that RILE LP is a VIE in which it holds variable interests and is the primary beneficiary. In the determination that AltaGas is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, AltaGas noted that it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance through the operating and marketing services provided to RILE LP. In addition, AltaGas has the obligation to absorb the losses and the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to RILE LP through the long-term agreement for the capacity of RIPET. As such, AltaGas has consolidated RILE LP.

The assets of RILE LP are the property of RILE LP and are not available to AltaGas for any other purpose. RILE LP’s asset balances can only be used to settle its own obligations. The liabilities of RILE LP do not represent additional claims against

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 57


AltaGas’ general assets. AltaGas’ exposure to loss as a result of its interest as a limited partner is its net investment. AltaGas and Royal Vopak have provided limited guarantees for the obligations of their respective subsidiaries for the construction cost of RIPET. With the commencement of commercial operations at RIPET, the terms of the long-term capacity agreement between AltaGas LPG and RILE LP provide for a return on and of capital and reimbursement of RIPET's operating costs by AltaGas LPG in accordance with the terms set out in the agreement.

The following table represents amounts included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets attributable to RILE LP:

Net assets$402 $399 

AltaGas Hybrid Trust

On January 11, 2022, AltaGas closed its offering of $300 million of 5.25 percent Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1 (Note 12). In conjunction with the debt offering, AltaGas issued $300 million in Preferred Shares, Series 2022-A, to be held in the AltaGas Hybrid Trust with Computershare Trust Company of Canada acting as trustee. The Preferred Shares were issued to satisfy the obligations under the indenture governing the associated Series 1 Subordinated Notes. Following the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events in respect of AltaGas, subject to certain exceptions, the Series 2022-A Preferred Shares would be delivered to the holders of the Series 1 Subordinated Notes. Upon delivery of the Series 2022-A Preferred Shares, the Series 1 Subordinated Notes would be immediately and automatically surrendered and cancelled and all rights of any Series 1 Subordinated Notes will automatically cease. The only asset held by the holding trust are the Series 2022-A Preferred Shares.

AltaGas has determined that AltaGas Hybrid Trust is a VIE in which it holds variable interests and is the primary beneficiary. In the determination that AltaGas is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, AltaGas noted that it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance through its role as the sole administrative agent. In addition, AltaGas has the obligation to absorb the administrative expenses that are significant to the trust through the associated administrative agreement. As such, AltaGas has consolidated the AltaGas Hybrid Trust.

Unconsolidated VIE

Strathcona Storage Limited Partnership (SSLP)

Upon the acquisition of Petrogas on December 15, 2020, AltaGas acquired an indirect interest in SSLP, a partnership formed with ATCO Energy Solutions Ltd. to construct, operate, and maintain underground NGL storage caverns at Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. The facility currently has four underground NGL storage salt caverns in service, with a fifth cavern under development.

As at June 30, 2022, AltaGas held an indirect 30 percent equity investment in SSLP with a carrying value of $130 million (December 31, 2021 - $131 million). SSLP is not consolidated by Petrogas and instead is accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Petrogas is not the primary beneficiary of SSLP and it does not have the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of SSLP. The maximum financial exposure to loss as a result of the involvement with this VIE is equal to AltaGas' net investment in SSLP.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, a provision was recorded against the equity investment in MVP due to ongoing legal and regulatory issues.

Revenue Recognition

The following is a description of the Corporation’s revenue recognition policy by segment and by major source of revenue from contracts with customers.

Utilities Segment

Gas Sales and Transportation Services

Customers are billed monthly based on regular meter readings. Customer billings are based on two main components: (i) a fixed service fee and (ii) a variable fee based on usage. Revenue is recognized over time when the gas has been delivered or as the service has been performed. As meter readings are performed on a cycle basis, AltaGas recognizes accrued revenue for any services rendered to its customers but not billed at month-end. The vast majority of these contracts are “at-will” as customers may cancel their service at any time, however, there are certain contracts that have terms of one year or longer. For these long-term contracts, there is generally a contract demand specified in the contract whereby the customer has to pay regardless of whether or not gas has been delivered. These contracts generally do not contain any make up rights and revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as service has been performed.


AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 65


Gas Storage Services

Gas storage customers are billed monthly for services provided. Customer billings are based on four components: (i) reservation charges; (ii) capacity charges; (iii) injection/withdrawal charges; and (iv) excess charges. Reservation charges are based on the customer’s contract withdrawal quantity, capacity charges are based on the customer’s total contract quantity, and injection/withdrawal charges are based on the volume of gas delivered to or from the customer. Excess charges are applied to each day that the storage quantity exceeds 100 percent of the customer’s maximum storage quantity. Revenue is recognized as the service has been performed over time on a monthly basis, which corresponds to the invoice amount. The majority of these contracts have terms extending beyond one year.

Commodity Sales

Commodity sales include gas and electricity sales to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in certain states where WGL Energy Services is authorized as a competitive service provider. These commodity sales contracts have varying terms that generally range from one to five years. Customers are billed monthly based on the amount of energy delivered to the customer. Revenue is recognized based on the amount the Corporation is entitled to invoice the customer.

Midstream Segment

Commodity Sales

A portion of the NGL production from AltaGas’ extraction facilities is subject to frac spread between NGLs extracted and the natural gas purchased to make up the heating value of the NGLs extracted. For commodity sales contracts that do not meet the definition of a derivative or for contracts whereby AltaGas has elected to apply the normal purchase and normal sales scope exception, the sales contract is accounted for under ASC 606. These commodity sales contracts have varying terms, but the majority of the contracts have a one-year term which coincides with the NGL year. AltaGas recognizes revenue for commodity sales contracts at a point in time based on the actual volumes of the commodity sold at the delivery point, which corresponds to the customer’s monthly invoice amount.

Commodity sales contracts at RIPET and Ferndale generate revenue from the sale and delivery of LPGs to customers in Asia shipped from offshore export terminals. Revenue is recognized when LPGs are loaded onto transport vessels, which is the delivery point. AltaGas has the right to consideration in an amount that directly corresponds to the volumes of LPGs loaded on a vessel. Petrogas' commodity sales also include the sale of upgraded crude oil, processed finished products, and various fuels. Delivery takes place when there is a sales contract in place, specifying delivery volumes and sales prices. The consideration received under these contracts is variable based on commodity prices.

Midstream Service Contracts

AltaGas earns revenue from its field gathering and processing facilities, extraction facilities, storage facilities, truck hauling services, rail and truck loading and unloading terminalling, and transmission systems through a variety of contractual arrangements. For arrangements that do not contain a lease, the revenue is accounted for under ASC 606 as follows:

Fee-for-service – The customer is charged a fee for the service provided on a per unit volume basis. Contract terms generally range from one month to up to the life of the reserves. Revenue under this type of arrangement is recognized over time as the service is provided, which corresponds to the customer’s monthly invoice amount.

Take-or-pay – The customer has agreed to a minimum volume commitment whereby the customer must have AltaGas process or deliver a specified volume at a rate per unit that is specified in the contract. Quantities that the customer is unable to deliver are considered deficiency quantities. Certain of AltaGas’ take-or-pay contracts contain provisions whereby the customer can

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 66


make up deficiency quantities in subsequent periods. Under this type of arrangement, any consideration received relating to the deficiency quantities that will be made up in a future period will be deferred until either: (i) the customer makes up the volumes or (ii) the likelihood that the customer will make up the volumes before the make up period expires becomes remote. If AltaGas does not expect the customer to make up the deficiency quantities (also referred to as breakage amount), AltaGas may recognize the expected breakage amount as revenue before the make up period expires. Significant judgment is required in estimating the breakage amount. For contracts where the customer has no make up rights, revenue is recognized on a monthly basis based on the higher of (i) the actual quantity delivered times the per unit rate or (ii) the contracted minimum amount.

Petrogas' storage fees are typically recognized in revenue ratably over the term of the contract and rail and truck loading and
unloading fees are recognized when the volumes are delivered or received.

Corporate/Other Segment

For the Corporate/Other segment, the majority of revenue relates to remaining power assets, from which revenue is primarily earned through power purchase agreements which are accounted for as operating leases. In instances where power generation is not sold under a power purchase agreement, the commodity is sold via a merchant market, or via commodity sales agreements which are accounted for as financial instruments. For commodity sales contracts that do not meet the definition of a lease, derivative or for contracts whereby AltaGas has elected to apply the normal purchase and normal sales scope exception, the sales contract is accounted for under ASC 606.

Contract Balances

As at June 30, 2022, a contract asset of $40 million ($39 million net of credit losses) has been recorded within long-term investments and other assets (December 31, 2021 - $41 million net of credit losses) and $4 million within prepaid expenses and other current assets (December 31, 2021 - $13 million) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This contract asset represents the difference in revenue recognized under a new rate in a blend-and-extend contract modification with a customer. Revenue from this contract modification was recognized at the pre-modification rate until December 31, 2020, with the excess revenue recorded as a contract asset. The contract asset is now being drawn down over the remaining term of the modified contract.

At June 30, 2022, contract liabilities of $nil (December 31, 2021 - $1 million) have been recorded within other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

AltaGas applies the practical expedient available under ASC 606 and does not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which AltaGas has the right to invoice for performance completed, and (iii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation. In addition, the table above does not include any estimated amounts of variable consideration that are constrained. The majority of midstream service contracts, gas sales and transportation service contracts, and storage service contracts contain variable consideration whereby uncertainty related to the associated variable consideration will be resolved (usually on a daily basis) as volumes are processed, gas is delivered or as service is provided.


15. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management

The Corporation’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, risk management contracts, certain long-term investments and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, short-term and long-term debt, and certain other current and long-term liabilities.


Fair Value Hierarchy

AltaGas categorizes its financial assets and financial liabilities into one of three levels based on fair value measurements and inputs used to determine the fair value.

Level 1 - fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values are based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets or liabilities and no assumptions are used. Included in this category are publicly traded shares valued at the closing price as at the balance sheet date.

Level 2 - fair values are determined based on valuation models and techniques where inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. AltaGas enters into derivative instruments in

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 68


the futures, over-the-counter, and retail markets to manage fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. The fair values of power, natural gas, NGL, LPG, ocean freight, and crude oil derivative contracts were calculated using forward prices based on published sources for the relevant period, adjusted for factors specific to the asset or liability, including basis and location differentials, discount rates, and currency exchange. The fair value of foreign exchange derivative contracts was calculated using quoted market rates.

Level 3 - fair values are based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. AltaGas uses valuation techniques when observable market data is not available. Level 3 derivatives include physical contracts at illiquid market locations with no observable market data, long-dated positions where observable pricing is not available over the life of the contract, contracts valued using historical spot price volatility assumptions, and valuations using indicative broker quotes for inactive market locations. A significant change to any one of these inputs in isolation could result in a significant upward or downward fluctuation in the fair value measurement.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each significant class of financial instruments:

Other current liabilities - the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Current portion of long-term debt, long-term debt (including debt classified as held for sale), subordinated hybrid notes, and other long-term liabilities - the fair value of these liabilities was estimated based on discounted future interest and principal payments using the current market interest rates of instruments with similar terms.

Risk management assets and liabilities - the fair values of power, natural gas, NGL, and crude oil derivative contracts were calculated using forward prices from published sources for the relevant period. The fair value of foreign exchange derivative contracts was calculated using quoted market rates. The fair value of Level 3 derivative contracts was calculated using internally developed valuation inputs and pricing models.

Loans and receivables – the fair value of these assets was estimated based on discounted future interest and principal payments using the current market interest rates of instruments with similar terms.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities

Certain of AltaGas’ risk management contracts are subject to master netting arrangements that create a legally enforceable right for a counterparty to offset the related financial assets and financial liabilities. As part of these master netting agreements, cash, letters of credit, and parental guarantees may be required to be posted or obtained from counterparties in order to mitigate credit risk related to both derivative and non-derivative positions. Collateral balances are also offset against the related counterparties’ derivative positions to the extent the application would not result in the over-collateralization of those derivative positions on the balance sheet.

Foreign Exchange Risk

AltaGas is exposed to foreign exchange risk as changes in foreign exchange rates may affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Corporation’s financial instruments. AltaGas has foreign operations whereby the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Corporation’s earnings, cash flows, and OCI are exposed to fluctuations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates. This risk is partially mitigated to the extent that AltaGas has U.S. dollar-denominated debt and/or preferred shares outstanding. AltaGas may also enter into foreign exchange forward derivatives to manage the risk of fluctuating cash flows due to variations in foreign exchange rates.

AltaGas may designate its U.S. dollar-denominated debt or certain U.S. dollar-denominated loans that may give rise to a foreign currency translation gain or loss as a net investment hedge of its U.S. subsidiaries. As at June 30, 2022, AltaGas has designated US$222 million of outstanding loans as a net investment hedge (December 31, 2021 - US$122 million).

As at June 30, 2022, AltaGas did not have any outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts. The following foreign exchange forward contracts were outstanding as at December 31, 2021:

Foreign exchange forward contract
Notional Amount (US$ millions)
DurationWeighted average foreign exchange rateFair Value
Foreign exchange swaps (purchases) US$10Less than one year1.2640Less than $1 million


For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, AltaGas recorded no realized gains or losses on foreign exchange forward contracts (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 - gains of $6 million and $16 million, respectively).

Weather Related Instruments

WGL Energy Services utilizes heating degree day (HDD) instruments from time to time to manage weather and price risks related to its natural gas and electricity sales during the winter heating season. WGL Energy Services also utilizes cooling degree day (CDD) instruments and other instruments to manage weather and price risks related to its electricity sales during the summer cooling season. These instruments cover a portion of estimated revenue or energy-related cost exposure to variations in HDDs or CDDs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, AltaGas recorded no gains or losses related to these instruments (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 - $nil).


16. Leases

Lessor

Certain of AltaGas’ revenues are obtained through power purchase agreements or take-or-pay contracts whereby AltaGas is the lessor in these operating lease arrangements.

19. Commitments, Guarantees, and Contingencies

Commitments

AltaGas has long-term natural gas purchase and transportation arrangements, LPG purchase agreements, crude oil and condensate purchase agreements, electricity purchase arrangements, service agreements, pipeline and storage service contracts, capital commitments, environmental commitments, merger commitments, and operating leases for office space, office equipment, vehicles, rail cars, land, storage, aquatic surface use, and other equipment, all of which are transacted at market prices and in the normal course of business.

AltaGas’ utilities have contracts to purchase natural gas, natural gas transportation and storage services from various suppliers to ensure that there is an adequate supply of natural gas to meet the needs of customers and to minimize exposure to market price fluctuations. These contracts have expiration dates that range from 2022 to 2044. In addition, WGL Energy Services also enters into contracts to purchase natural gas and electricity designed to match the duration of its sales commitments, and to secure a margin on estimated sales over the terms of existing sales contracts.

In connection with the acquisition of WGL in 2018, AltaGas and WGL have made commitments related to the terms of the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia (PSC of DC) settlement agreement and the conditions of approval from the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC of MD) and the Commonwealth of Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC of VA). Among other things, these commitments include rate credits distributable to both residential and non-residential customers, gas expansion and other programs, various public interest commitments, and safety programs. As at June 30, 2022, the remaining unpaid amount for the previously accrued merger commitments was approximately US$7 million. Additionally, there are a number of operational commitments, including the funding of leak mitigation and reducing leak backlogs, the funding of damage prevention efforts, developing projects to extend natural gas service, maintaining pre-merger

AltaGas Ltd. – Q2 2022 MD&A and Financial Statements – 80


quality of service standards including odor call response times, increasing supplier diversity, achieving synergy savings benefits, as well as reporting and tracking related to all the commitments, and developing 15 megawatts of either electric grid energy storage or Tier 1 renewable resources within five years after the merger closed.

As part of the Petrogas Acquisition in 2020, AltaGas acquired a commitment to pay post-acquisition contingent payments of up to $16 million based on certain criteria, including earnings targets being met. In the second quarter of 2022, AltaGas made the post-acquisition contingent payment of $16 million, satisfying the commitment.

In 2017, AltaGas entered into a 12-year service agreement for tug services to support the marine operations of RIPET. As at June 30, 2022, AltaGas is obligated to pay fixed fees of approximately $21 million over the remainder of the contract.

In 2019, AltaGas entered into propane supply contracts with various counterparties to secure physical volumes required for RIPET’s export capacity commitments. The contract terms range from 1-15 years, for an aggregate commitment amount of approximately $1.1 billion.

In 2014, AltaGas’ Blythe facility entered into a Long-Term Service Agreement with Siemens to complete various upgrade and maintenance services on the Combustion Turbines (CT) at Blythe. The term of the agreement is over 124,000 equivalent operating hours per CT, or 25 years, whichever comes first. As at June 30, 2022, approximately $145 million is expected to be paid over the next 14 years, of which $50 million is expected to be paid over the next five years.

In 2021, AltaGas entered into a time charter agreement for the lease of a Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) over a two-year term. The vessel will be used by AltaGas to transport LPGs from AltaGas' export terminals to Asian markets. At June 30, 2022, AltaGas has approximately US$16 million remaining in future undiscounted cash flows associated with the lease.

At June 30, 2022, AltaGas has US$150 million in future undiscounted cash flows associated with operating leases not yet commenced. The leases are for the use of two VLGCs that are anticipated to commence in the fourth quarter of 2023 and first quarter of 2024. The lessor is primarily involved in the design and construction of both VLGCs.

Guarantees

AltaGas has guaranteed payments primarily for certain commitments on behalf of some of its subsidiaries. AltaGas has also guaranteed payments for certain of its external partners. With the sale of WGL Midstream in the second quarter of 2021, as at June 30, 2022, a US$25 million WGL performance guarantee to a former WGL Midstream wholesale counterparty remains in effect until the purchaser can transfer the credit support. In return, the purchaser provided a US$25 million third-party bank letter of credit in which WGL is the beneficiary. AltaGas had no guarantees issued on behalf of external parties.

Contingencies

AltaGas and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal claims and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal claims and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, the Corporation does not believe that the resolution of such claims and actions will have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

20. Pension Plans and Retiree Benefits

The costs of the defined benefit and post-retirement benefit plans are based on Management's estimate of the future rate of return on the fair value of pension plan assets, salary escalations, mortality rates, and other factors affecting the payment of future benefits.

In 2021, AltaGas made the decision to wind-up the Canadian defined benefit pension plan effective March 31, 2022. The final settlement of the plan will occur when approval of the wind-up is received from the Alberta Superintendent of Pensions.

Rabbi trusts of $17 million as at June 30, 2022 have been funded to satisfy the employee benefit obligations associated with WGL’s various pension plans (December 31, 2021 - $18 million). These balances are included in "prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "long-term investments and other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The net pension expense by plan for the period was as follows:

22. Seasonality

The Utilities business is highly seasonal with the majority of natural gas deliveries occurring during the winter heating season. Gas sales increase during the winter resulting in stronger first and fourth quarter results and weaker second and third quarter results. The retail business within the Utilities segment is also seasonal, with larger amounts of electricity being sold in the summer and peak winter months and larger amounts of natural gas being sold in the winter months.

(3)A degree day is a measure of coldness determined daily as the number of degrees the average temperature during the day in question is below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Degree days for a particular period are determined by adding the degree days incurred during each day of the period. Normal degree days for a particular period are the average of degree days during the prior 15 years for SEMCO Gas, during the prior 10 years for ENSTAR, and during the prior 30 years for Washington Gas.
(4)In certain of Washington Gas’ jurisdictions (Virginia and Maryland) there are billing mechanisms in place which are designed to eliminate the effects of variance in customer usage caused by weather and other factors such as conservation. In the District of Columbia, there is no weather normalization billing mechanism nor does Washington Gas hedge to offset the effects of weather. As a result, colder or warmer weather will result in variances to financial results.
(5)Average for the period.
(6)NGL volumes refer to propane, butane and condensate.
(7)Realized frac spread or NGL margin, expressed in dollars per barrel of NGL, is derived from sales recorded by the segment during the period for frac spread exposed volumes plus the settlement value of frac hedges settled in the period less extraction premiums, divided by the total frac exposed volumes produced during the period.
(8)Average spot frac spread or NGL margin, expressed in dollars per barrel of NGL, is indicative of the average sales price that AltaGas receives for propane, butane and condensate less extraction premiums, before accounting for hedges, divided by the respective frac spread exposed volumes for the period.
(9)Average propane price spread between FEI and Mont Belvieu TET commercial index.
