Notes to Condensed consolidated financial statements
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These Condensed consolidated financial statements of TC Energy Corporation (TC Energy or the Company) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those outlined in TC Energy’s annual audited Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as described in Note 2, Accounting changes. Capitalized and abbreviated terms that are used but not otherwise defined herein are identified in the 2020 audited Consolidated financial statements included in TC Energy’s 2020 Annual Report.
These Condensed consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments, all of which are normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective periods. These Condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2020 audited Consolidated financial statements included in TC Energy’s 2020 Annual Report. 
Earnings for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year in certain of the Company’s segments primarily due to:
Natural gas pipelines segments – the timing of regulatory decisions and seasonal fluctuations in short-term throughput volumes on U.S. pipelines 
Liquids Pipelines – fluctuations in throughput volumes on the Keystone Pipeline System and marketing activities
Power and Storage – the impact of seasonal weather conditions on customer demand and market pricing in addition to maintenance outages in certain of the Company’s investments in electrical power generation plants and Canadian non-regulated gas storage facilities.
Use of Estimates and Judgments
In preparing these financial statements, TC Energy is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the amount and timing of recording assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses since the determination of these items may be dependent on future events. The Company uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgment in making these estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of management, these Condensed consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the Company’s significant accounting policies included in the annual audited Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as described in Note 2, Accounting changes.
2. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Reference Rate Reform
In response to the expected cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), of which certain rate settings will cease to be published at the end of 2021 with full cessation by mid-2023, the FASB issued new optional guidance in March 2020 that eases the potential burden in accounting for such reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients for contracts and hedging relationships that are affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Each of the expedients can be applied as of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. For eligible hedging relationships existing as of January 1, 2020 and prospectively, the Company has applied an optional expedient allowing an entity to assume that the hedged forecasted transaction in a cash flow hedge is probable of occurring. The Company continues to monitor developments and is addressing necessary system and contractual changes while assessing the adoption of the standard market proposed reference rates. This includes testing system solutions and analyzing existing agreements to determine the effect of reference rate reform on its consolidated financial statements. These changes are not expected to have a material
52 | TC Energy Third Quarter 2021


impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the timing and potential impact of adoption for other optional expedients when deemed necessary.
Changes in Accounting Policies for 2021
Income taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance that simplified the accounting for income taxes and clarified existing guidance. This new guidance was effective January 1, 2021 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

58 | TC Energy Third Quarter 2021


Contract assets and long-term contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s right to revenues for services completed but not invoiced at the reporting date on long-term committed capacity natural gas pipelines contracts. The change in contract assets is primarily related to the transfer to Accounts receivable when these rights become unconditional and the customer is invoiced, as well as the recognition of additional revenues that remain to be invoiced. Contract liabilities and long-term contract liabilities primarily relate to force majeure fixed capacity payments received on long-term capacity arrangements in Mexico.
Future Revenues from Remaining Performance Obligations
As at September 30, 2021, future revenues from long-term pipeline capacity arrangements and transportation as well as natural gas storage and other contracts extending through 2048 are approximately $23.8 billion, of which approximately $1.6 billion is expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2021.
5. KEYSTONE XL
Asset Impairment Charge and Other
On June 9, 2021, following the revocation of the Presidential Permit for the Keystone XL pipeline on January 20, 2021, and after a comprehensive review of options in consultation with the Government of Alberta, the Company terminated the Keystone XL pipeline project. The Keystone XL investment was evaluated for impairment in first quarter 2021 along with TC Energy's investments in related capital projects, including Heartland Pipeline, TC Terminals and Keystone Hardisty Terminal. As a result, the Company determined that the carrying amount of these assets within the Liquids Pipelines segment was no longer fully recoverable and recognized an asset impairment charge, net of expected contractual recoveries and other contractual and legal obligations related to termination activities, of $2,854 million ($2,194 million after tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The asset impairment charge was based on the excess of the carrying value of $3,301 million over the estimated fair value of $175 million. Termination activities and related costs will continue through 2022 with any adjustments to the estimated fair value and future contractual and legal obligations expensed as determined.

The estimated fair value of $175 million related to plant and equipment is based on the price that is expected to be received from selling these assets in their current condition and is updated as required. Key assumptions used in the determination of selling price included an estimated two-year disposal period and current energy market demand. The valuation considered a variety of potential selling prices based on various markets that could be used to dispose of these assets and required the use of unobservable inputs. As a result, the fair value is classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy.
TC Energy Third Quarter 2021 | 59


As the Company did not see the related capital projects in development proceeding at the time of the assessment in first quarter 2021, it recorded an asset impairment charge equal to the carrying value of these projects included in Other long-term assets on the Condensed consolidated balance sheet as the estimated fair value of these related projects was determined to be nil.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest and Long-Term Debt
On January 8, 2021, the Company exercised its call right in accordance with contractual terms and paid $633 million (US$497 million) to repurchase the Government of Alberta Class A Interests in certain Keystone XL subsidiaries which were classified as Current liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020. This transaction was funded by draws on the project-level credit facility which was guaranteed by the Government of Alberta and non-recourse to TC Energy.
Following the revocation of the Presidential Permit for the Keystone XL pipeline on January 20, 2021, the Company ceased accruing a return on the remaining Government of Alberta Class A Interests.
In June 2021, in accordance with the terms of the guarantee, the Government of Alberta repaid the full outstanding balance on the Keystone XL project-level credit facility totaling $1,028 million (US$849 million), which was subsequently terminated. As part of this arrangement, TC Energy issued $91 million of Class C Interests in the Keystone XL subsidiaries which entitle the Government of Alberta to future liquidation proceeds from specified Keystone XL project assets. The issuance of Class C Interests was recorded in Accounts payable and other on the Condensed consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. Termination of the project-level credit facility, net of the issuance of Class C Interests, resulted in $937 million ($737 million after tax) recorded to Additional paid-in capital.
In June 2021, the Company repurchased the remaining Government of Alberta Class A Interests for a nominal amount, which was accounted for as an equity transaction and resulted in $394 million recognized in Additional paid-in capital.

6. INCOME TAXES
Effective Tax Rates
The effective income tax rates were negative 22 per cent and two per cent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to the impacts of the Keystone XL asset impairment charge recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as well as the release of income tax valuation allowances and the non-taxable portion of capital gains recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Junior Subordinated Notes1

1The Junior subordinated notes were issued to TransCanada Trust, a financing trust subsidiary wholly owned by TCPL. While the obligations of TransCanada Trust are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by TCPL on a subordinated basis, TransCanada Trust is not consolidated in TC Energy's financial statements since TCPL does not have a variable interest in TransCanada Trust and the only substantive assets of TransCanada Trust are junior subordinated notes of TCPL.
In March 2021, TransCanada Trust (the Trust) issued $500 million of Trust Notes – Series 2021-A to investors with a fixed interest rate of 4.20 per cent per annum for the first 10 years and resetting on the 10th anniversary and every five years thereafter. All of the proceeds of the issuance by the Trust were loaned to TCPL for $500 million of junior subordinated notes of TCPL at an initial fixed rate of 4.45 per cent per annum, including a 0.25 per cent administration charge. The rate on the junior subordinated notes of TCPL will reset every five years commencing March 2031 until March 2051 to the then Five Year Government of Canada Yield, as defined in the document governing the subordinated notes, plus 3.316 per cent per annum; from March 2051 until March 2081, the interest rate will reset to the then Five Year Government of Canada Yield plus 4.066 per cent per annum. The junior subordinated notes are callable at TCPL's option at any time from December 4, 2030 to March 4, 2031 and on each interest payment and reset date thereafter at 100 per cent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
The Junior subordinated notes are subordinated in right of payment to existing and future senior indebtedness and other obligations of TCPL.

14. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management Overview
TC Energy has exposure to market risk and counterparty credit risk, and has strategies, policies and limits in place to manage the impact of these risks on earnings, cash flows and shareholder value.
Counterparty credit risk
TC Energy’s exposure to counterparty credit risk includes its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and certain contractual recoveries, available-for-sale assets, the fair value of derivative assets and loans receivable.
While the majority of the Company's credit exposure is to large creditworthy entities, TC Energy maintains close monitoring and communication with those counterparties experiencing greater financial pressures due to significant market events, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Refer to TC Energy's 2020 Annual Report for more information about the factors that mitigate the Company's counterparty credit risk exposure.
The Company reviews financial assets carried at amortized cost for impairment using the lifetime expected loss of the financial asset at initial recognition and throughout the life of the financial asset. TC Energy uses historical credit loss and recovery data, adjusted for management's judgment regarding current economic and credit conditions, along with supportable forecasts to determine any impairment, which is recognized in Plant operating costs and other. At September 30, 2021, there were no significant credit losses, no significant credit risk concentration and no significant amounts past due or impaired.
Net investment in foreign operations
The Company hedges a portion of its net investment in foreign operations (on an after-tax basis) with U.S. dollar-denominated debt, cross-currency interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forwards and foreign exchange options as appropriate.
The fair values and notional amounts for the derivatives designated as a net investment hedge were as follows:

Non-derivative financial instruments
Fair value of non-derivative financial instruments
Available-for-sale assets are recorded at fair value which is calculated using quoted market prices where available. Certain non-derivative financial instruments included in Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Other current assets, Loan receivable from affiliate, Restricted investments, Other long-term assets, Notes payable, Accounts payable and other, Dividends payable, Accrued interest and Other long-term liabilities have carrying amounts that approximate their fair value due to the nature of the item or the short time to maturity. Each of these instruments are classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy, except for the Company's LMCI equity securities which are classified in Level I.
Credit risk has been taken into consideration when calculating the fair value of non-derivative instruments.
Balance sheet presentation of non-derivative financial instruments

2Gains and losses on other restricted investments are included in Interest income and other in the Condensed consolidated statement of income.
3Realized gains and losses on the sale of LMCI restricted investments are determined using the average cost basis.
Derivative instruments
Fair value of derivative instruments
The fair value of foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives has been calculated using the income approach which uses period-end market rates and applies a discounted cash flow valuation model. The fair value of commodity derivatives has been calculated using quoted market prices where available. In the absence of quoted market prices, third-party broker quotes or other valuation techniques have been used. The fair value of options has been calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Credit risk has been taken into consideration when calculating the fair value of derivative instruments. Unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments are not necessarily representative of the amounts that will be realized on settlement.
In some cases, even though the derivatives are considered to be effective economic hedges, they do not meet the specific criteria for hedge accounting treatment or are not designated as a hedge and are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income in the period of change. This may expose the Company to increased variability in reported earnings because the fair value of the derivative instruments can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

These include derivatives that have not been designated as hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment but have been entered into as economic hedges to manage the Company's exposures to market risk.

Offsetting of derivative instruments
The Company enters into derivative contracts with the right to offset in the normal course of business as well as in the event of default. TC Energy has no master netting agreements, however, similar contracts are entered into containing rights to offset. The Company has elected to present the fair value of derivative instruments with the right to offset on a gross basis on the Condensed consolidated balance sheet. The following table shows the impact on the presentation of the fair value of derivative instrument assets and liabilities had the Company elected to present these contracts on a net basis:

With respect to the derivative instruments presented above, the Company provided cash collateral of $129 million and letters of credit of $66 million at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – $54 million and $39 million, respectively) to its counterparties. At September 30, 2021, the Company held no cash collateral and a $6 million balance in letters of credit (December 31, 2020 – nil and nil, respectively) from counterparties on asset exposures.
Credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments
Derivative contracts entered into to manage market risk often contain financial assurance provisions that allow parties to the contracts to manage credit risk. These provisions may require collateral to be provided if a credit-risk-related contingent event occurs, such as a downgrade in the Company’s credit rating to non-investment grade. The Company may also need to provide collateral if the fair value of its derivative financial instruments exceeds pre-defined exposure limits.
Based on contracts in place and market prices at September 30, 2021, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $5 million (December 31, 2020 – $4 million), for which the Company has provided no collateral in the normal course of business. If the credit-risk-related contingent features in these agreements were triggered on September 30, 2021, the Company would have been required to provide collateral equal to the fair value of the related derivative instruments discussed above. Collateral may also need to be provided should the fair value of derivative instruments exceed pre-defined contractual exposure limit thresholds.
The Company has sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and undrawn committed revolving credit facilities to meet these contingent obligations should they arise.











TC Energy Third Quarter 2021 | 75


Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized into three categories based on a fair value hierarchy.
LevelsHow fair value has been determined
Level IQuoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is a market in which frequency and volume of transactions provides pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level II
This category includes interest rate and foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using the income approach and commodity derivatives where fair value is determined using the market approach.
Inputs include published exchange rates, interest rates, interest rate swap curves, yield curves and broker quotes from external data service providers.
Level III
This category includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low and the Company uses the most observable inputs available or, if not available, long-term broker quotes to estimate the fair value for these transactions.
There is uncertainty caused by using unobservable market data which may not accurately reflect possible future changes in fair value.
The fair value of the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, including both current and non-current portions, were categorized as follows:

15. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
Commitments
TC Energy’s capital expenditure commitments at December 31, 2020 included certain construction costs associated with the Keystone XL pipeline project. Following the revocation of the Presidential Permit for the Keystone XL pipeline on January 20, 2021, the Company and its partner terminated the project on June 9, 2021. As a result, capital commitments related to Keystone XL have been reduced by approximately $0.9 billion. Refer to Note 5, Keystone XL, for more information.
Contingencies
TC Energy and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions, excluding the legal proceeding related to Keystone XL described below, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
On July 2, 2021, TC Energy filed a Notice of Intent to initiate a legacy North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) claim to recover economic damages resulting from the revocation of the Presidential Permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. The Company will be seeking to recover more than US$15 billion in damages as a result of the U.S. Government's breach of its NAFTA obligations. This claim is in a preliminary stage and the timing of outcome is unknown at present.
Guarantees
As part of its role as operator of the Northern Courier pipeline, TC Energy has guaranteed the financial performance of the pipeline related to delivery and terminalling of bitumen and diluent and contingent financial obligations under sub-lease agreements.
TC Energy and its partner on the Sur de Texas pipeline, IEnova, have jointly guaranteed the financial performance of the entity which owns the pipeline. Such agreements include a guarantee and a letter of credit which are primarily related to the delivery of natural gas.
TC Energy and its joint venture partner on Bruce Power, BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust, have each severally guaranteed certain contingent financial obligations of Bruce Power related to a lease agreement and contractor and supplier services.
The Company and its partners in certain other jointly-owned entities have either (i) jointly and severally, (ii) jointly or (iii) severally guaranteed the financial performance of these entities. Such agreements include guarantees and letters of credit which are primarily related to construction services and the payment of liabilities. For certain of these entities, any payments made by TC Energy under these guarantees in excess of its ownership interest are to be reimbursed by its partners.

Consolidated VIEs
The Company's consolidated VIEs consist of legal entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. As the primary beneficiary, the Company has the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact economic performance including purchasing or selling significant assets; maintenance and operations of assets; incurring additional indebtedness; or determining the strategic operating direction of the entity. In addition, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the consolidated VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. A significant portion of the Company’s assets are held through VIEs in which the Company holds a 100 per cent voting interest, the VIE meets the definition of a business and the VIE’s assets can be used for general corporate purposes. The consolidated VIEs whose assets cannot be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIE’s obligations, or are not considered a business, are as follows:

Non-Consolidated VIEs
The Company’s non-consolidated VIEs consist of legal entities where the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs or where this power is shared with third parties. The Company contributes capital to these VIEs and receives ownership interests that provide it with residual claims on assets after liabilities are paid.
The carrying value of these VIEs and the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company's involvement with these VIEs are as follows:
