Results Overview

Earnings in the first quarter of 2023 were positively impacted by higher revenue in Pipelines due to increased upstream activity on the Peace Pipeline system and on the Cochin Pipeline, partially offset by impacts from the Northern Pipeline system outage. Facilities results were impacted by the change in ownership of the majority of Pembina's field-based gas processing assets, which were wholly-owned prior to the creation of PGI on August 15, 2022 (the "PGI Transaction"), and are now being accounted for in share of profit from equity accounted investees, which is affected by expenses such as interest and taxes. Marketing & New Ventures results were impacted by lower margins on NGL and crude oil sales, as well as lower marketed NGL volumes and lower share of profit from Aux Sable. During the period, Pembina also had lower losses on commodity-related derivatives mainly due to NGL-based derivatives and lower general and administrative expenses primarily due to lower long-term incentive costs, while other expenses decreased largely as a result of lower acquisition fees incurred during the period. Income tax expense decreased due to lower current period earnings and the tax impact of the PGI Transaction.

Pembina Pipeline Corporation First Quarter 2023 3

Changes in Results for the Three Months Ended March 31
Revenue $741 million decrease. Lower revenue in Marketing & New Ventures primarily due to a decrease in prices across the crude oil complex and lower NGL prices and marketed NGL volumes, combined with lower revenue in Facilities largely due to revenue from the field-based gas processing assets contributed to PGI and now reflected in share of profit from equity accounted investees ("share of profit") and lower recoverable costs. These are partially offset by higher Pipeline revenue mainly on the Peace Pipeline system and Cochin Pipeline. On January 18, 2023, an unplanned outage occurred on the Northern Pipeline system (“Northern Pipeline system outage”), resulting in an impact to consolidated revenue of $37 million. Service on the Northern Pipeline system resumed on February 23, 2023 at a reduced operating pressure.
Cost of goods sold $533 million decrease, largely due to lower crude oil and NGL market prices in Marketing & New Ventures.
Operating expenses $7 million increase, primarily due to higher power costs in Pipelines, the majority of which are recoverable, as a result of the higher power pool price during the quarter, as well as an impact of $17 million resulting from the Northern Pipeline system outage, partially offset by lower Facilities operating expenses primarily due to the operating expenses from the field-based gas processing assets contributed in connection with the PGI Transaction now being reflected in share of profit, coupled with lower recoverable costs at Empress.
Depreciation and amortization included in operations $21 million decrease, primarily due to the contributed field-based gas processing assets now being accounted for under equity accounting by Pembina for its investment in PGI.
Share of profit from equity accounted investees Consistent with the prior period. Lower share of profit from Aux Sable as a result of lower NGL prices and re-contracting in the fourth quarter of 2022 was largely offset by contributions from PGI following the PGI Transaction.
Realized (gain) loss on commodity-related derivatives $71 million positive variance, primarily due to realized gains on NGL-based derivative instruments driven by the change in NGL market prices during the period compared to losses in the first quarter of 2022.
Unrealized loss (gain) on commodity-related derivatives $59 million negative variance, primarily due to NGL-based derivative contracts maturing in the period.
General and administrative $15 million decrease, primarily due to lower long-term incentive costs driven by the change in Pembina's share price in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by higher information technology-related maintenance costs.
Other (income) expense $14 million increase, primarily due to lower acquisition and restructuring costs recognized during the period compared to the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by a gain on the initial recognition of a lease in Pipelines in the first quarter of 2022.
Net finance costs Consistent with the prior period.
Current tax expense $22 million decrease, primarily due to lower current period earnings and the tax impact of the PGI Transaction.
Deferred tax expense $24 million decrease, primarily due to lower current period earnings and the tax impact of the PGI Transaction.
Cash flow from operating activities $197 million decrease, primarily driven by a decrease in the change in non-cash working capital due mainly to the Ruby settlement and lower operating results, as well as higher share-based compensation payments, partially offset by a decrease in taxes paid and higher distributions from equity accounted investees.
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities(1) $66 million decrease, largely due to the same items impacting cash flow from operating activities, discussed above, excluding the change in non-cash working capital, taxes paid, and share-based compensation payments, partially offset by lower current tax expense and accrued share-based payments.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) $58 million decrease, primarily due to lower net revenue from Marketing & New Ventures and Facilities, partially offset by higher adjusted EBITDA from equity accounted investees, due to the contributions from PGI which outweighed the lower contributions from Aux Sable and Ruby. Additionally, the first quarter of 2023 had realized gains on commodity-related derivatives compared to losses recognized during the first quarter of 2022, as well as higher Pipeline revenue and lower long-term incentive costs. The Northern Pipeline system outage had an impact on consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $54 million in the period.
Total volumes<br><br>(mboe/d)(2) 181 mboe/d decrease, largely driven by the disposition of Pembina's interest in certain Facilities assets at Empress in the fourth quarter of 2022, lower volumes due to the Northern Pipeline system outage (decrease of 132 mboe/d) and from Ruby, partially offset by the recognition of volumes in Facilities following the PGI Transaction and higher volumes on certain Pipeline systems resulting from increased upstream activity and third-party outages in the first quarter of 2022. Volumes include 490 mboe/d (2022: 294 mboe/d) related to equity accounted investees.

  1. SEGMENT RESULTS

Business Overview

The Pipelines Division provides customers with pipeline transportation, terminalling, storage and rail services in key market hubs in Canada and the United States for crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas. Through Pembina's wholly-owned and joint venture assets, the Pipelines Division manages pipeline transportation capacity of 2.8 mmboe/d(1), above ground storage capacity of 11 mmbbls(1) and rail terminalling capacity of approximately 105 mboe/d(1) within its conventional, oil sands and heavy oil, and transmission assets. The conventional assets include strategically located pipelines and terminalling hubs that gather and transport light and medium crude oils, condensate and natural gas liquids from western Alberta and northeast British Columbia to the Edmonton, Alberta area for further processing or transportation on downstream pipelines. The oil sands and heavy oil assets transport heavy and synthetic crude oil produced within Alberta to the Edmonton, Alberta area and offer associated storage, terminalling and rail services. The transmission assets transport natural gas, ethane and condensate throughout Canada and the United States on long haul pipelines linking various key market hubs. In addition, the Pipelines Division assets provide linkages between Pembina's upstream and downstream assets across North America, enabling integrated customer service offerings. Together, these assets supply products from hydrocarbon producing regions to refineries, fractionators and market hubs in Alberta, British Columbia, and Illinois, as well as other regions throughout North America.

The Facilities Division includes infrastructure that provides Pembina's customers with natural gas, condensate and NGL services. Through its wholly-owned assets and its interest in PGI, Pembina's natural gas gathering and processing facilities are strategically positioned in active, liquids-rich areas of the WCSB and Williston Basin and are integrated with the Company's other businesses. Pembina provides sweet and sour gas gathering, compression, condensate stabilization, and both shallow cut and deep cut gas processing services with a total capacity of approximately 5.4 bcf/d(2) for its customers. Condensate and NGL extracted at virtually all Canadian-based facilities have access to transportation on Pembina's pipelines. In addition, all NGL transported along the Alliance Pipeline are extracted through the Pembina operated Channahon Facility at the terminus. The Facilities Division includes approximately 354 mbpd(2) of NGL fractionation capacity, 21 mmbbls(1) of cavern storage capacity and associated pipeline and rail terminalling facilities and a liquefied propane export facility on Canada's West Coast. These facilities are fully integrated with the Company's other divisions, providing customers with the ability to access a comprehensive suite of services to enhance the value of their hydrocarbons. In addition, Pembina owns a bulk marine import/export terminal in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Marketing & New Ventures Division strives to maximize the value of hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas originating in the basins where the Company operates. Pembina pursues this goal through the creation of new markets, and further enhances existing markets, to support both the Company's and its customers' overall business interests. In particular, Pembina seeks to identify opportunities to connect hydrocarbon production to new demand locations through the development of infrastructure. Pembina strives to increase producer netbacks and product demand to improve the overall competitiveness of the basins where the Company operates. This includes developing new business platforms and undertaking initiatives that seek to reduce the greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions intensity of Pembina's and its customers' operations.

Within the Marketing & New Ventures Division, Pembina undertakes value-added commodity marketing activities including buying and selling products (natural gas, ethane, propane, butane, condensate, crude oil and electricity), commodity arbitrage, and optimizing storage opportunities. The marketing business enters into contracts for capacity on both Pembina's and third-party infrastructure, handles proprietary and customer volumes and aggregates production for onward sale. Through this infrastructure capacity, as well as utilizing the Company's expansive rail fleet and logistics capabilities, Pembina's marketing business adds incremental value to the commodities by accessing high value markets across North America and globally.

Pembina Pipeline Corporation First Quarter 2023 5

The Marketing & New Ventures Division is also responsible for the development of new large-scale, or value chain extending projects, including those that provide enhanced access to global markets and support a transition to a lower-carbon economy. Currently, Pembina is pursuing opportunities associated with liquefied natural gas ("LNG"), low-carbon commodities, and large-scale GHG emissions reductions.

Conventional revenue(1)(2) Increase largely due to higher volumes on the Peace Pipeline system resulting from increased upstream activity, higher recoverable project costs, and higher tolls, partially offset by lower revenue due to the Northern Pipeline system outage. Refer to the "Financial & Operating Overview - Results Overview" section for further details on the Northern Pipeline system outage.
Transmission revenue(1)(2) Increase primarily due to the higher U.S. dollar exchange rate and higher tolls on the Cochin Pipeline, higher volumes on the Vantage Pipeline due to third-party outages during the first quarter of 2022, and higher recoverable costs at the Alberta Ethane Gathering System ("AEGS").
Oil Sands revenue(1)(2) Decrease primarily due to lower revenue related to recoverable project costs on the Horizon Pipeline system, partially offset by higher recoverable power costs.
Operating expenses(1) Increase largely due to higher power costs, the majority of which are recovered in revenue, as a result of the higher power pool price during the quarter, combined with costs associated with the Northern Pipeline system outage, partially offset by lower geotechnical costs primarily related to the Western Pipeline.
Share of profit from equity accounted investees Consistent with the prior period.
Reportable segment earnings before tax Increase largely due to higher volumes and higher recoverable project costs on the Peace Pipeline system and higher revenues from the Cochin Pipeline, Vantage Pipeline, and at AEGS, partially offset by the impacts of the Northern Pipeline system outage and lower revenue related to recoverable project costs on the Horizon Pipeline system.
Adjusted EBITDA(3) Consistent with the prior period. Due to the same items impacting reportable segment earnings before tax, discussed above, largely offset by lower adjusted EBITDA from Ruby. Included in adjusted EBITDA is $77 million (2022: $76 million) related to Alliance and nil (2022: $15 million) related to Ruby.
Volumes (mboe/d)(4) Decrease largely driven by lower volumes due to the Northern Pipeline system outage and from Ruby, partially offset by higher volumes on the Peace Pipeline system resulting from increased upstream activity, combined with higher volumes at AEGS and on the Vantage Pipeline due to third-party outages in the first quarter of 2022. Volumes include 147 mboe/d (2022: 146 mboe/d) related to Alliance and nil (2022: 57 mboe/d) related to Ruby.
Distributions from equity accounted investees $70 million (2022: $87 million) from Alliance. The decrease is due to the re-financing of debt in the fourth quarter of 2021 which provided an incremental distribution in the first quarter of 2022.

Changes in Results
--- --- ---
Gas Services revenue(1)(2) Decrease largely due to the change in ownership of Pembina's formerly wholly-owned field-based gas processing assets as part of the PGI Transaction. The revenue from these assets is included in share of profit. This is combined with lower recoverable costs as a result of the commissioning of the Empress Cogeneration Facility and the disposition of Pembina's interest in the assets comprising the Empress I Plant, Empress I Expansion Plant, and the Empress VI Plant (collectively "E1 and E6"), both of which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease in recoverable costs was accompanied by a corresponding reduction in operating expenses, as discussed below. Additionally, there were lower volumes at Younger resulting from the Northern Pipeline system outage.
NGL Services revenue(1)(2) Decrease primarily due to lower supply volumes at the Redwater Complex resulting from the Northern Pipeline system outage, coupled with lower terminalling revenue.
Operating expenses(1) Decrease largely due to the PGI Transaction which resulted in operating expenses for the formally wholly-owned field-based gas processing assets now being accounted for in share of profit, as well as reduced operating expenses resulting from the commissioning of the Empress Cogeneration Facility and the disposition of Pembina's interest in the E1 and E6 assets, discussed above.
Depreciation and amortization included in operations Decrease primarily due to the contributed field-based gas processing assets now being accounted for under equity accounting by Pembina for its investment in PGI.
Realized and unrealized gain on commodity-related derivatives The change is due to the transfer of the commodity-related derivatives from Pembina to PGI as part of the contributed field-based gas processing assets.
Share of profit from equity accounted investees Increase primarily due to the contributions from PGI's gas processing assets, partially offset by interest expense on long-term debt, depreciation resulting from the PGI assets recorded at fair value, and income tax expense, compared to the contributions in the first quarter of 2022 when Pembina owned a 45 percent interest in Veresen Midstream.
Reportable segment earnings before tax Decrease primarily due to lower contribution from Gas Services as a result of the PGI Transaction, which involved a change in ownership of Pembina's formerly wholly-owned field-based gas processing assets and commodity-related derivatives, combined with lower supply volumes at the Redwater Complex and lower terminalling revenue, partially offset by increased share of profit from PGI and lower depreciation.
Adjusted EBITDA(3) Increase primarily due to adjusted EBITDA from PGI due to the contributions from certain PGI gas processing assets, including the former Energy Transfer Canada plants and the Dawson Assets, partially offset by lower contribution from Gas Services and lower supply volumes at the Redwater Complex. Included in adjusted EBITDA is nil (2022: $54 million) related to Veresen Midstream and $172 million (2022: nil) related to PGI.
Volumes (mboe/d)(4) Decrease primarily due to the disposition of Pembina's interest in the E1 and E6 assets in exchange for a processing agreement that provides Pembina the right to first priority for gas processing at all Plains-operated assets at Empress. Additionally, lower volumes at the Redwater Complex and Younger resulting from the Northern Pipeline system outage, partially offset by the volumes from PGI, primarily at the former Energy Transfer Canada plants and on the Dawson assets. Volumes include 343 mboe/d (2022: nil) related to PGI and nil (2022: 91 mboe/d) related to Veresen Midstream.
Distributions from equity accounted investees $120 million (2022: nil) from PGI, $1 million (2022: $1 million) from Fort Corp, and no distributions (2022: $34 million) from Veresen Midstream. The increase in distributions is attributed to the contributions made by PGI's gas processing assets.

Net revenue(1)(2) Decrease largely due to lower NGL margins as a result of lower propane and butane prices and lower marketed NGL volumes, discussed below, coupled with lower margins on crude oil resulting from the lower prices across the crude oil complex.
Realized (gain) loss on commodity-related derivatives The realized gain is primarily due to a $21 million gain (2022: $25 million loss) on NGL-based derivative instruments due to the change in NGL market prices during the first quarter of 2023.
Unrealized loss on commodity-related derivatives Consistent unrealized losses relating primarily to NGL-based derivative contracts maturing in the period.
Share of (loss) profit from equity accounted investees Decrease largely due to lower revenues at Aux Sable as a result of lower NGL prices and re-contracting in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Reportable segment earnings before tax Decrease largely due to lower margins on NGL and crude oil sales, coupled with lower marketed NGL volumes and lower contribution from Aux Sable, partially offset by realized gains on commodity-related derivatives for the quarter compared to losses recognized during the first quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA(2) Decrease largely due to the same items impacting reportable segment earnings before tax, discussed above. Included in adjusted EBITDA is $4 million (2022: $28 million) related to Aux Sable.
Volumes (mboe/d)(3) Marketed NGL volumes decreased largely due to reduced ethane and butane sales as a result of lower supply volumes from the Redwater Complex following the Northern Pipeline system outage. Revenue volumes include 34 mboe/d (2022: 34 mboe/d) related to Aux Sable.
Distributions from equity accounted investees $8 million (2022: $33 million) from Aux Sable. Decrease largely due to the same factors impacting share of profit from equity accounted investees discussed above.

Projects & New Developments(1)

The New Ventures group is responsible for the development of new large-scale, or value chain extending projects, including those that provide enhanced access to global markets and support a transition to a lower-carbon economy. Currently, Pembina is pursuing opportunities associated with LNG, low-carbon commodities, and large-scale GHG emissions reductions.

Pembina has formed a partnership with the Haisla Nation to develop the proposed Cedar LNG project, a three million tonne per annum floating LNG facility strategically positioned to leverage Canada's abundant natural gas supply and British Columbia's growing LNG infrastructure to produce industry-leading low-carbon, cost-competitive Canadian LNG for overseas markets. Cedar LNG will provide a valuable outlet for WCSB natural gas to access global markets, and it is expected to achieve higher prices for Canadian producers, contribute to lower overall emissions, and enhance global energy security. Given that Cedar LNG will be a floating facility, manufactured in the controlled conditions of a shipyard, it is expected that the project will have lower construction and execution risk. Further, powered by BC Hydro, Cedar LNG is expected to be one of the greenest LNG facilities in the world. Cedar LNG received its Environmental Assessment Certificate from the BCEAO and a positive Decision Statement from the federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change on March 14, 2023 and March 15, 2023, respectively. Collectively, the Environmental Assessment Certificate and Decision Statement represent a significant step forward for Cedar LNG. In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with ARC Resources Ltd. for a long-term liquefaction services agreement for half of the capacity of Cedar LNG. Work towards the signing of definitive commercial agreements is ongoing.

Cedar LNG is expected to be structured as a tolling business providing a low risk, long-term cash flow stream, and strengthening Pembina's financial resilience. Activities related to engineering, regulatory, commercial discussions, and financing are expected to converge for a final investment decision to be made by the end of the third quarter of 2023.

Pembina and TC Energy Corporation ("TC Energy") continue to develop the Alberta Carbon Grid, a carbon transportation and sequestration platform that will enable Alberta-based industries to effectively manage their GHG emissions, contribute positively to Alberta's lower-carbon economy, and create sustainable long-term value for Pembina and TC Energy stakeholders. Pembina and TC Energy continue to progress surface and sub-surface engineering and planning, while engaging with customers and other stakeholders. The first phase of the system is the Industrial Heartland project, which will have the potential of transporting and storing up to 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide ("CO2") annually. Pembina and TC Energy are also exploring options to create several hubs throughout Alberta, with a long-term vision to annually transport and store up to 20 million tonnes of CO2. In the first quarter of 2023, ACG licensed and purchased existing seismic data and completed acquisition of new seismic data. This data will be integrated into subsurface geophysical models and help guide the location of an appraisal well to be drilled later in 2023.

Shared service revenue Pertains to fixed fee income related to shared service agreements with joint ventures following the PGI Transaction. $5 million was netted against general and administrative in the first quarter of 2022.
General and administrative Decrease primarily due to lower long-term incentive costs driven by the change in Pembina's share price in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by higher information technology-related maintenance costs.
Other (income) expense Change from other expense to income is primarily due to lower acquisition and restructuring costs recognized during the period compared to the first quarter of 2022.
Net finance costs Consistent with the prior period.
Reportable segment loss before tax Increase primarily due to lower acquisition costs, long-term incentive costs, and restructuring costs, coupled with shared service revenue, discussed above, partially offset by higher information technology-related maintenance costs.

Pembina currently anticipates that its cash flow from operating activities, the majority of which is derived from fee-based contracts, will be more than sufficient to meet its operating obligations, to fund its dividend and to fund its capital expenditures in the short term and long term. Pembina expects to source funds required for debt maturities from cash, its credit facilities and by accessing the capital markets, as required. Based on its successful access to financing in the capital markets over the past several years, Pembina expects to continue to have access to additional funds as required. Refer to "Risk Factors – General Risk Factors – Additional Financing and Capital Resources" in Pembina's MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Management continues to monitor Pembina's liquidity and remains satisfied that the leverage employed in Pembina's capital structure is sufficient and appropriate given the characteristics and operations of the underlying asset base.

Management may adjust Pembina's capital structure as a result of changes in economic conditions or the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or modify Pembina's capital structure in the future, Pembina may renegotiate debt terms, repay existing debt, seek new borrowings, issue additional equity or hybrid securities and/or repurchase or redeem additional common or preferred shares.

As at March 31, 2023, Pembina's credit facilities consisted of: an unsecured $1.5 billion (December 31, 2022: $1.5 billion) revolving credit facility, which includes a $750 million (December 31, 2022: $750 million) accordion feature, which provides Pembina with the ability to increase the credit facility subject to lender approval, and matures in June 2027 (the "Revolving Facility"); an unsecured $1.0 billion (December 31, 2022: $1.0 billion) sustainability linked revolving credit facility, which matures in June 2026 (the "SLL Credit Facility"); an unsecured U.S. $250 million (December 31, 2022: U.S. $250 million) non-revolving term loan, which matures in May 2025; and an operating facility of $20 million (December 31, 2022: $20 million), which matures in May 2023 and is typically renewed on an annual basis (collectively, the "Credit Facilities"). There are no mandatory principal repayments due over the term of the Credit Facilities, with principal repayments not due until maturity. Pembina is required to meet certain specific and customary affirmative and negative financial covenants under the indenture governing its medium-term notes and the agreements governing its Credit Facilities, including a requirement to maintain certain financial ratios. See "Liquidity & Capital Resources – Covenants" below for more information.

The SLL Credit Facility contains pricing adjustments that reduce or increase borrowing costs based on Pembina's performance relative to a GHG emissions intensity reduction performance target. Previously, Pembina announced its commitment to reduce its GHG emissions intensity by 30 percent by 2030, relative to baseline 2019 levels. The specific terms of the SLL Credit Facility include annual intermediate targets that align with Pembina's trajectory towards its 2030 target.

Pembina Pipeline Corporation First Quarter 2023 17

Pembina is also subject to customary restrictions on its operations and activities under the indenture governing its medium-term notes and the agreements governing its Credit Facilities, including restrictions on the granting of security, incurring indebtedness and the sale of its assets.

With the exception of the sustainability-linked adjustments to borrowing costs, the terms and conditions of the SLL Credit Facility and the Revolving Facility, including financial covenants, are substantially similar to each other.

Covenants

Pembina's financial covenants under the indenture governing its medium-term notes and the agreements governing the Credit Facilities include the following:

Debt Instrument Financial Covenant(1) Ratio Ratio as at March 31, 2023
Senior unsecured medium-term notes Funded Debt to Capitalization Maximum 0.70 0.38
Credit Facilities Debt to Capital Maximum 0.70 0.39

(1)    Terms as defined in relevant agreements.

Pembina was in compliance with all covenants under the note indenture governing its medium-term notes and the agreements governing its Credit Facilities as at March 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022: in compliance).

Credit Risk

Pembina continues to actively monitor and reassess the creditworthiness of its counterparties. The majority of Pembina's credit exposure is to investment grade counterparties. Pembina assesses all high exposure counterparties during the on-boarding process and actively monitors credit limits and exposure across the business. Pembina may reduce or mitigate its exposure to certain counterparties where it is deemed warranted and permitted under contractual terms. Where warranted, financial assurances may be sought from counterparties to mitigate and reduce risk, and such assurances may include guarantees, letters of credit and cash collateral. Letters of credit totaling $143 million (December 31, 2022: $168 million) were held as at March 31, 2023, primarily in respect of customer trade receivables.

Credit Ratings

The following information with respect to Pembina's credit ratings is provided as such information relates to Pembina's financing costs and liquidity. Specifically, credit ratings affect Pembina's ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and the cost of such financing. A reduction in the current ratings of Pembina's debt by its rating agencies, particularly a downgrade below investment-grade ratings, could adversely affect Pembina's cost of financing and its access to sources of liquidity and capital. In addition, changes in credit ratings and the associated costs may affect Pembina's ability to enter into normal course derivative or hedging transactions. Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of the credit quality of any issues of securities. The credit ratings assigned by the rating agencies are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the securities, nor do the credit rating agencies comment on the market price or suitability for a particular investor. Any credit rating may not remain in effect for a given period of time or may be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant.

DBRS Limited ("DBRS") rates Pembina's senior unsecured medium-term notes 'BBB (high)'. DBRS has also assigned a debt rating of 'BBB (low)' to Pembina's Fixed-To-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes, Series 1 (the "Series 1 Subordinated Notes") and a rating of 'Pfd-3 (high)' for each issued series of Pembina's Class A Preferred Shares, other than the Class A Preferred Shares, Series 2021-A (the "Series 2021-A Class A Preferred Shares"), which are deliverable to the holders of the Series 1 Subordinated Notes following the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events in respect of Pembina.

The long-term corporate credit rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") on Pembina is 'BBB'. S&P has also assigned a debt rating of 'BBB' to Pembina's senior unsecured medium-term notes, a debt rating of 'BB+' to the Series 1 Subordinated Notes, and a rating of 'P-3 (High)' to each issued series of Pembina's Class A Preferred Shares, other than the Series 2021-A Class A Preferred Shares.

During the periods in the table above, Pembina's financial and operating results were impacted by the following factors and trends:

•New large-scale growth projects across Pembina's business being placed into service;

•Volatility in commodity market prices impacting margins within the marketing business, partially offset by Pembina's risk management program;

•Volatility in the AECO-Chicago natural gas price differential, power pool prices, foreign exchange rates, and inflation impacting operating results;

•The recovery in demand for commodities and global energy prices in 2021 following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continued through 2022 due to supply concerns associated with the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia;

•Higher net finance costs impacting earnings associated with debt related to financing growth projects, volatility in foreign exchange rates and volatility in Pembina's share price impacting incentive costs;

•Impairments recognized on certain assets in Pipelines as a result of contract expirations in the fourth quarter of 2021;

•The receipt and associated tax of the $350 million arrangement termination payment in the third quarter of 2021;

•Higher contributions made to Alliance to redeem all of its issued and outstanding senior notes in 2021;

•The completion of the PGI Transaction, which resulted in a gain recognized by Pembina of $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2022 and other impacts to Pembina's earnings;

•The Ruby Settlement Agreement in the fourth quarter of 2022 with Ruby Pipeline, L.L.C. (the "Ruby Subsidiary") which provided for the payment in January 2023 from Pembina to the Ruby Subsidiary of U.S. $102 million in exchange for the release of Pembina from any causes of action arising in connection with, among other things, the prepetition distributions and the Ruby Subsidiary Bankruptcy (as defined below); and

•The Northern Pipeline system outage in the first quarter of 2023.

Financing Activities for Equity Accounted Investees

The Ruby Subsidiary had U.S. $475 million principal amount (100 percent gross) of unsecured notes that matured on April 1, 2022 (the "2022 Notes"). On March 31, 2022, the Ruby Subsidiary filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Ruby Subsidiary Bankruptcy") as it lacked sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations under the 2022 Notes on the maturity date. On November 18, 2022, Pembina and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Ruby Settlement Agreement with the Ruby Subsidiary which provides for the release of Pembina from any causes of action arising in connection with, among other things, the prepetition distributions and the Ruby Subsidiary Bankruptcy in exchange for a U.S. $102 million payment by Pembina to the Ruby Subsidiary. In January 2023, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved the Ruby Subsidiary's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the "Ruby Subsidiary Plan") and the Ruby Settlement Agreement. The Ruby Subsidiary Plan provides for the sale of the Ruby Subsidiary's reorganized equity to a third-party, which sale was completed on January 13, 2023, and the distribution of the sales proceeds and cash on hand of the Ruby Subsidiary to the creditors of the Ruby Subsidiary, including approximately U.S. $14 million to an affiliate of Pembina in respect of the subordinated notes issued by the Ruby Subsidiary to that Pembina affiliate. Following the completion of the sale of the Ruby Subsidiary's reorganized equity, Pembina ceased to have any ownership interest in the Ruby Pipeline.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures ("DC&P") and Internal Control over Financial Reporting ("ICFR")

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Pembina's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, 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 Canadian securities legislation.

The President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have designed, with the assistance of management, DC&P and ICFR to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to Pembina's business is made known to them, is reported on a timely basis, that financial reporting is reliable and that financial statements prepared for external purposes are in accordance with IFRS.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the first quarter of 2023 that had or are likely to have a material impact on Pembina's ICFR.

  1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES & ESTIMATES

Changes in Accounting Policies

The accounting policies used in preparing the Interim Financial Statements are described in Note 3 of Pembina's Consolidated Financial Statements. Except as noted below, there were no other new accounting standards or amendments to existing standards adopted in the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have a material impact on Pembina's financial statements.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

The Company adopted IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts effective January 1, 2023. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts. IFRS 17 has been applied using a full retrospective approach and as a result, the Company has restated certain comparative amounts. Refer to Note 2 of the Interim Financial Statements for further information.

Pembina's insurance contracts are comprised of a parental guarantee and letters of credit that it provides to the Company's joint venture, Cedar LNG. Under the contracts, Pembina will reimburse Cedar LNG's counterparties in the event that Cedar LNG is unable to pay its obligations when due. Pembina does not receive premiums from the joint venture or the counterparty for providing the insurance contract, and as a result the contracts are considered onerous. On initial recognition or when the contract is modified, Pembina recognizes the cost of providing the contract on behalf of the joint venture as an in-substance contribution to the joint venture. All other changes to the insurance liability are recognized in earnings.

Pembina applies judgments to determine the future probability and expected cashflows related to its insurance contracts. These judgments include assessing different scenarios for the likelihood that the Cedar LNG project will reach a positive final investment decision ("FID") and assessing the potential cash outflows that Pembina would be required to make under the different scenarios. A risk adjustment is then applied to the probability weighted cash outflows for the non-financial risks inherent in the scenarios, and the credit-adjusted discount rate is used to incorporate the financial risks of non-performance.

Amendments to IAS 1 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies

The Company adopted Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure of Accounting Policies effective January 1, 2023. The amendments replace the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies and establish guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality in determining material accounting policy disclosures.

The amendments had no impact on the policies disclosed in the Interim Financial Statements; rather, they will increase the emphasis on the material policies in the annual consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Judgments & Estimates

Critical accounting judgments and estimates used in preparing the Interim Financial Statements are described in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make both judgments and estimates that could materially affect the amounts recognized in the financial statements. By their nature, judgments and estimates may change in light of new facts and circumstances in the internal and external environment. There have been no material changes to Pembina's critical accounting estimates and judgments during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Pembina Pipeline Corporation First Quarter 2023 29

  1. NON-GAAP & OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this MD&A, Pembina has disclosed certain financial measures that are not specified, defined or determined in accordance with GAAP and which are not disclosed in Pembina's financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures either exclude an amount that is included in, or include an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, together with financial measures and ratios specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP, are used by management to evaluate the performance and cash flows of Pembina and its businesses and to provide additional useful information respecting Pembina's financial performance and cash flows to investors and analysts.

In this MD&A, Pembina has disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios: net revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA per common share, adjusted EBITDA from equity accounted investees, adjusted cash flow from operating activities and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share.

Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios disclosed in this MD&A do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. The financial measures and ratios should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, measures and ratios of Pembina's financial performance, or cash flows specified, defined or determined in accordance with IFRS, including revenue, earnings before income tax, share of profit from equity accounted investees and cash flow from operating activities.

Except as otherwise described herein, these non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are calculated on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific reconciling items may only be relevant in certain periods.

Below is a description of each non-GAAP financial measure and non-GAAP ratio disclosed in this MD&A, together with, as applicable, disclosure of: the most directly comparable financial measure that is specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP to which each non-GAAP financial measure relates; a quantitative reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to such directly comparable GAAP financial measure; the composition of each non-GAAP financial measure and non-GAAP ratio; an explanation of how each non-GAAP financial measure and non-GAAP ratio provides useful information to investors and the additional purposes, if any, for which management uses each non-GAAP financial measure and non-GAAP ratio; and an explanation of the reason for any change in the label or composition of each non-GAAP financial measure and non-GAAP ratio from what was previously disclosed.

Net Revenue

Net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined as total revenue less cost of goods sold including product purchases. Management believes that net revenue provides investors with a single measure to indicate the margin on sales before non-product operating expenses that is comparable between periods. Management utilizes net revenue to compare consecutive results in Marketing & New Ventures and Facilities, to aggregate revenue generated by each of the Company's divisions and to set comparable objectives. The most directly comparable financial measure to net revenue that is specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP and disclosed in Pembina's financial statements is revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per Common Share

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as earnings before net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (included in operations and general and administrative expense) and unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments. The exclusion of unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative financial instruments eliminates the non-cash impact of such gains or losses.

Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments to earnings for losses (gains) on disposal of assets, transaction costs incurred in respect of acquisitions, dispositions and restructuring, impairment charges or reversals in respect of goodwill, intangible assets, investments in equity accounted investees and property, plant and equipment, certain non-cash provisions and other amounts not reflective of ongoing operations. These additional adjustments are made to exclude various non-cash and other items that are not reflective of ongoing operations.

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of Pembina's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities and equity accounted investees. Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of operating income generated from capital expenditures, which includes operational finance income and gains from lessor lease arrangements. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing Pembina, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. Management utilizes adjusted EBITDA to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's success. Pembina presents adjusted EBITDA as management believes it is a measure frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the Company's financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA per common share is a non-GAAP ratio which is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's joint ventures are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are presented net in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, "Investments in Equity Accounted Investees". Net earnings from investments in equity accounted investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income "Share of Profit from Equity Accounted Investees". The adjustments made to earnings, in adjusted EBITDA above, are also made to share of profit from investments in equity accounted investees. Cash contributions and distributions from investments in equity accounted investees represent Pembina's share paid and received in the period to and from the investments in equity accounted investees.

Pembina Pipeline Corporation First Quarter 2023 31

Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities per Common Share

Adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a non-GAAP measure which is defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusting for the change in non-cash operating working capital, adjusting for current tax and share-based compensation payments, and deducting preferred share dividends paid. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities deducts preferred share dividends paid because they are not attributable to common shareholders. The calculation has been modified to include current tax expense and accrued share-based payment expense as it allows management to better assess the obligations discussed below. Management believes that adjusted cash flow from operating activities provides comparable information to investors for assessing financial performance during each reporting period. Management utilizes adjusted cash flow from operating activities to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's ability to meet interest obligations, dividend payments and other commitments. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share is a non-GAAP financial ratio which is calculated by dividing adjusted cash flow from operating activities by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. REPORTING ENTITY

Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") is a Calgary-based, leading transportation and midstream service provider serving North America's energy industry. These condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary companies, partnerships and any investments in associates and joint arrangements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Pembina owns an integrated network of hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas pipelines, gas gathering and processing facilities, oil and natural gas liquids infrastructure and logistics services, and an export terminals business. Pembina's integrated assets and commercial operations along the majority of the hydrocarbon value chain allow it to offer a full spectrum of midstream and marketing services to the energy sector.

These Interim Financial Statements and the notes hereto have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The accounting policies applied are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), other than as described in Note 2, are consistent with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("Consolidated Financial Statements"), and should be read in conjunction with those Consolidated Financial Statements. The Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issue by Pembina's Board of Directors on May 4, 2023.

Use of Estimates and Judgments

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions and use judgment in the application of accounting policies that could have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the Interim Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from estimates and those differences may be material. By their nature, judgments and estimates may change in light of new facts and circumstances in the internal and external environment. There have been no material changes to Pembina's critical accounting estimates and judgments during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

40 Pembina Pipeline Corporation First Quarter 2023

  1. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

The Company adopted IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts effective January 1, 2023. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts. IFRS 17 has been applied using a full retrospective approach and as a result, the Company has restated certain comparative amounts.

Pembina's insurance contracts are comprised of a parental guarantee and letters of credit that it provides to the Company's joint venture, Cedar LNG. Under the contracts, Pembina will reimburse Cedar LNG's counterparties in the event that Cedar LNG is unable to pay its obligations when due. Pembina does not receive premiums from the joint venture or the counterparty for providing the insurance contract, and as a result the contracts are considered onerous. On initial recognition or when the contract is modified, Pembina recognizes the cost of providing the contract on behalf of the joint venture as an in-substance contribution to the joint venture. All other changes to the insurance liability are recognized in earnings.

Pembina applies judgments to determine the future probability and expected cashflows related to its insurance contracts. These judgments include assessing different scenarios for the likelihood that the Cedar LNG project will reach a positive final investment decision ("FID") and assessing the potential cash outflows that Pembina would be required to make under the different scenarios. A risk adjustment is then applied to the probability weighted cash outflows for the non-financial risks inherent in the scenarios, and the credit-adjusted discount rate is used to incorporate the financial risks of non-performance.

As a result of the initial adoption, Pembina's consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2022, was restated to include an additional $12 million in Investments in equity accounted investees and Trade Payables and other. There has been no change to the March 31, 2023 insurance contract related balances.

Amendments to IAS 1 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies

The Company adopted Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure of Accounting Policies effective January 1, 2023. The amendments replace the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies and establish guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality in determining material accounting policy disclosures.

The amendments had no impact on the policies disclosed in the Interim Financial Statements; rather, they will increase the emphasis on the material policies in the annual consolidated financial statements.

  1. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES

Several of Pembina's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the methods set out in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These methods have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Interim Financial Statements.

On August 15, 2022, Pembina acquired a 60 percent equity interest in PGI, a newly formed joint venture that is jointly controlled by Pembina and KKR (the "PGI Transaction"). Pembina serves as PGI's operator and manager.

The cost of Pembina's 60 percent interest in PGI was allocated to PGI's identifiable net assets based on preliminary fair values on the acquisition date as follows:

As at August 15, 2022 Previously reported Adjustments Updated
($ millions) in Q4 2022
Current assets 641 (6) 635
Non-current assets 6,641 19 6,660
Current liabilities 1,164 1,164
Non-current liabilities 2,834 13 2,847
Allocated to PGI assets and liabilities 3,284 3,284
Goodwill 899 899
Pembina's cost of investment in PGI 4,183 4,183

Pursuant to an agreement with the Competition Bureau, and consistent with Pembina's and KKR's intention to divest upon announcing their joint venture, on December 11, 2022 a subsidiary of PGI has entered into an agreement to sell its 50 percent non-operated interest in the Key Access Pipeline System ("KAPS") which was contributed to PGI as part of the transaction.

Subsequent to the first quarter, the KAPS divestiture was completed on April 26, 2023 and majority of the proceeds from the sale were used to reduce debt at PGI.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, PGI continued to obtain and verify information required to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. Pembina adjusted the preliminary fair value of PGI's identifiable net assets to reflect updated information, primarily including changes in the value of contract assets, contract liabilities and deferred tax liabilities, with a corresponding increase in property, plant and equipment. The valuation of the Gas Processing Business and associated PGI purchase price allocation is not final as Pembina and PGI continue to review and assess acquired contracts and obtain and verify information required to determine the amount of deferred taxes at the transaction date.

Financing Activities for Equity Accounted Investees

Ruby

In January 2023, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved the Ruby Subsidiary's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the "Ruby Subsidiary Plan") and the Ruby Settlement Agreement. The Ruby Subsidiary Plan provides for the sale of the Ruby Subsidiary's reorganized equity to a third-party, which sale was completed on January 13, 2023, and the distribution of the sales proceeds and cash on hand of the Ruby Subsidiary to the creditors of the Ruby Subsidiary, including approximately U.S. $14 million to an affiliate of Pembina in respect of the subordinated notes issued by the Ruby Subsidiary to that Pembina affiliate. Following the completion of the sale of the Ruby Subsidiary's reorganized equity, Pembina ceased to have any ownership interest in the Ruby Pipeline.

Cedar LNG

Under Pembina's insurance contracts issued in support of the Cedar LNG project, Pembina is obligated to reimburse the costs incurred by certain of Cedar LNG's counterparties if, and only if, Cedar LNG fails to satisfy its obligations under its contracts with those counterparties. Pembina has an aggregate maximum exposure under these issued insurance contracts of $90 million, although any payment, if required, would be capped at the amount of costs actually incurred by the counterparty. Refer to Note 2 for further information on Pembina's insurance contracts provided to Cedar LNG.

(2)    As at March 31, 2023, the balance includes $26 million of cash collected under take-or-pay contracts which will be recognized within one year as the customer chooses to ship, process, or otherwise forego the associated service.

Contract liabilities depict Pembina's obligation to perform services in the future for cash and non-cash consideration which have been received from customers. Contract liabilities include up-front payments or non-cash consideration received from customers for future transportation, processing, terminalling and storage services. Contract liabilities also include consideration received from customers for take-or-pay commitments where the customer has a make-up right to ship or process future volumes under a firm contract. These amounts are non-refundable should the customer not use its make-up rights.

In all instances where goods or services have been transferred to a customer in advance of the receipt of customer consideration, Pembina's right to consideration is unconditional and has therefore been presented as a receivable.

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair Values

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position, are shown in the table below. Certain non-derivative financial instruments measured at amortized cost including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other, finance lease receivables, trade payables and other, and other liabilities have been excluded because they have carrying amounts that approximate their fair value due to the nature of the item or the short time to maturity. These instruments would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

December 31, 2022
Fair Value(1) Carrying<br><br>Value Fair Value(1)
( millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Financial assets carried at fair value
Derivative financial instruments(2) 54 40 129 92 37

Contingent consideration(3) 6 37 49 12 37
Financial liabilities carried at amortized cost
Long-term debt(4) 9,836 10,600 9,590

All values are in US Dollars.

(1)    The basis for determining fair value is disclosed in Note 3.

(2)    At March 31, 2023 all derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value through earnings, except for $26 million in interest rate derivative financial assets that have been designated as cash flow hedges.

(3)    Included in trade payables and other. Under the terms of the agreements on Pembina's investment in the Cedar LNG Project, Pembina has commitments to make additional payments on a positive final investment decision as well as contributions to fund development costs and annual operating budgets.

(4)    Carrying value of current and non-current balances. Includes loans and borrowings and subordinated hybrid notes.

Level 2

Pembina's Level 2 financial instruments carried at fair value are valued using inputs that include quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter physical forwards and options, including those that have prices similar to quoted market prices. Pembina obtains quoted market prices for its inputs from information sources including banks, Bloomberg Terminals and Natural Gas Exchange.

Level 3

Pembina has entered into long-term power purchase agreements that resulted in the recognition of embedded derivatives which Pembina has classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The embedded derivatives are accounted for at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. The fair value is measured using a forward pricing model based on the fixed off take price and forward power price differentials at each reporting date. The fair value is determined using the contracted wind price at the reporting date compared to the quoted forward Alberta Electric System Operator ("AESO") wind power prices at the reporting date from a third-party information source, adjusted for various factors including inflation and credit spread. The significant unobservable inputs that impact the fair value of the Level 3 derivative instruments are wind discounts and forward power prices. Wind discounts are calculated as the decrease in realized power price for wind generators relative to average power pool prices as a result of wind generation, and are adjusted by management's projections of the wind escalation rate over time. Forward power prices are determined using a long-term price forecast.

Changes in fair value of the derivative net assets classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

($ millions) 2023
Level 3 derivative net asset at January 1 30
Included in gain (loss) on commodity-related derivative financial instruments in earnings 3
Level 3 derivative net asset at March 31 33

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

Pembina was committed for the following amounts under its contracts and arrangements as at March 31, 2023:

Contractual Obligations(1) Payments Due by Period
($ millions) Total Less than 1 Year 1 – 3 Years 3 – 5 Years After 5 Years
Construction commitments(2) 810 354 305 151
Other commitments related to lease contracts(3) 536 89 88 76 283
Transportation and processing(4) 112 49 37 14 12
Funding commitments(5) 42 42
Software, cloud computing and other 31 10 17 3 1
Total contractual obligations 1,531 544 447 244 296

(1)Pembina enters into product purchase agreements and power purchase agreements to secure supply for future operations. Purchase prices of both NGL and power are dependent on current market prices. Volumes and prices for NGL and power contracts cannot be reasonably determined, and therefore, an amount has not been included in the contractual obligations schedule. Product purchase agreements range from one to nine years and involve the purchase of NGL products from producers. Assuming product is available, Pembina has secured between 11 and 182 mbpd of NGL each year up to and including 2031. Power purchase agreements range from one to 25 years and involve the purchase of power from electrical service providers. Pembina has secured up to 75 megawatts per day each year up to and including 2047.

(2)Excludes significant projects that are awaiting regulatory approval, projects which Pembina is not committed to construct, and projects that are executed by equity accounted investees.

(3)Relates to expected variable lease payments excluded from the measurements of the lease liability, payments under lease contracts which have not yet commenced, and payments related to non-lease components in lessee lease contracts.

(4)Take-or-pay payments for minimum volumes to be transported or processed, including $19 million of contract transportation on the Alliance Pipeline.

(5)Pembina has committed to fund the construction of an asset that will connect Pembina's assets into a third-party pipeline.

Commitments to Equity Accounted Investees

Pembina has commitments to provide contributions to certain equity accounted investees based on annual budgets approved by the joint venture partners and contractual agreements.

Contingencies

Pembina, including its subsidiaries and its investments in equity accounted investees, are subject to various legal and regulatory and tax proceedings, actions and audits arising in the normal course of business. We represent our interests vigorously in all proceedings in which we are involved. Legal and administrative proceedings involving possible losses are inherently complex, and we apply significant judgment in estimating probable outcomes. Of significance is a claim filed against Aux Sable by a counterparty to an NGL supply agreement. Aux Sable has filed Statements of Defense responding to the claim. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, at this time management believes that the resolutions of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on Pembina's financial position or results of operations.

Letters of Credit

Pembina has provided letters of credit to various third parties in the normal course of conducting business. The letters of credit include financial guarantees to counterparties for product purchases and sales, transportation services, utilities, engineering and construction services. The letters of credit have not had and are not expected to have a material impact on Pembina's financial position, earnings, liquidity or capital resources. As at March 31, 2023, Pembina had $157 million (December 31, 2022: $198 million) in letters of credit issued.
