Pembina Pipeline Sanctions Heartland Extraction Plant Strengthening its Leading NGL Franchise
This news release refers to certain financial measures and ratios that are not specified, defined or determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") build multiple. For more information see "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" herein.
CALGARY, ALBERTA, May 25, 2026 – Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or "the Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today that it is proceeding with the Heartland Extraction Plant ("HEP") and provided an update on its ethane supply agreement with Dow.
The sanctioning of HEP represents a capital efficient, low-risk monetization of Pembina's liquids extraction rights on the Yellowhead Pipeline, with future growth potential. Through new and amended agreements, Pembina and Dow reached a mutually beneficial solution that has increased the overall ethane supply commitment, better aligned the volume profile with Dow's revised Path2Zero project schedule, and supported the economics of the HEP project. As previously disclosed, Pembina pursued an optimized ethane portfolio solution in support of its Dow supply commitments and is excited to sanction this project, which also provides Pembina the economic benefits of propane-plus natural gas liquids ("NGL") production. Additionally, sanctioning HEP is another important step towards realizing Pembina's recently announced 5-7 percent fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share growth target to 2030.
Heartland Extraction Plant Project Highlights
•A new 750 million cubic feet per day straddle plant to extract NGL under Pembina's extraction rights on the Yellowhead Pipeline.
•This upsized project is an evolution of the previously disclosed Yellowhead Extraction Plant project. HEP now includes incremental capacity to accommodate future additional opportunities on a capital efficient basis, enhancing Pembina's Alberta Industrial Heartland footprint.
•Pembina has signed a long-term agreement at HEP to supply Dow with ethane beginning in late 2029, scaling to 22,500 barrels per day ("bpd") by the end of 2030.
•Following extraction at HEP, ethane-plus mix will be processed at a combination of Dow's Fort Saskatchewan facility and Pembina's Redwater Complex.
•Pembina will retain the associated propane-plus production related to the project and will benefit from downstream fractionation and marketing of up to 9,500 bpd of propane-plus NGL.
•HEP has an estimated cost of approximately $570 million, and an anticipated in-service date in late 2029.
•EBITDA generated from the project will consist of both fixed-fee revenue and frac spread exposure. Using long-term average historical pricing, the EBITDA build multiple for the project is expected to range from 5-7 times.
Dow Ethane Supply Agreement Update
In connection with the new firm volume commitment at HEP, Pembina and Dow have amended the terms of their previously announced ethane supply agreement. Under the amended long-term agreement, Pembina will supply Dow with 35,000 bpd of ethane commencing with the start up of Dow's Path2Zero project, which is expected to
enter service in 2029. Pembina will source the 35,000 bpd of ethane from its existing supply portfolio, leveraging its integrated value chain, including deep cut gas processing plants, ethane-plus transportation franchise, and fractionation capabilities.
Including the new agreement at HEP (22,500 bpd) and the amended supply agreement (35,000 bpd), Pembina will supply Dow with a total of 57,500 bpd of ethane, representing a 15 percent increase compared to the original agreement of 50,000 bpd.
"This outcome further demonstrates Pembina's ability to find win-win solutions with our customers. We have strengthened our relationship with Dow while advancing Pembina's strategy and ability to deliver capital-efficient growth," said Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pembina. "By aligning volumes with Dow's needs and leveraging our existing asset base, we are enhancing the value of our NGL franchise and catalyzing hydrocarbon demand in Western Canada."

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Throughout this news release, Pembina has disclosed certain financial measures and ratios 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. Non-GAAP ratios are financial measures that are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation that has a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP 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 news release, Pembina has disclosed the following non-GAAP ratio: EBITDA build multiple. The non-GAAP financial measure that is used as a component of this non-GAAP ratio is estimated incremental EBITDA, which is an estimate of the incremental EBITDA expected to be generated by the Heartland Extraction Plant. The EBITDA build multiple is calculated as the estimated capital cost of the project divided by the estimated expected incremental EBITDA. Management uses the EBITDA build multiple to evaluate the capital efficiency and expected return of the project. The equivalent historical non-GAAP financial measure to estimated incremental EBITDA is historical EBITDA, which has earnings as its most directly comparable financial measure specified, defined, and determined in accordance with IFRS. There are no significant
differences between the composition of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure and the equivalent historical non-GAAP financial measure.
The non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios disclosed in this news release do not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and may not be comparable to similar financial measures or ratios disclosed by other issuers. Such 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 earnings.
