Second Quarter Highlights
-
On August 9, 2013, subsequent to the end of the quarter, Pembina
announced a 3.7 percent increase of its monthly dividend rate from
$0.135 per share per month to $0.14 per share per month, effective on
the August 25, 2013 record date and payable on September 13, 2013. This
increase reflects Management's ongoing confidence in the Company's
solid fundamentals, growing and sustainable cash flows from existing
businesses, and fee-for-service focused growth profile.
-
Consolidated operating margin was $207.8 million for the second quarter
of 2013, an increase of 40 percent compared to $148.9 million during
the same period of the prior year. Year-to-date, operating margin
totaled $447.6 million compared to $276.6 million in the first half of
2012, representing an increase of approximately 62 percent. Operating
margin is a non-GAAP measure; see "Non-GAAP Measures."
-
Operating margin generated by Pembina's businesses during the second
quarter of 2013 was positively impacted by several factors, including:
strong results driven by a more balanced propane market in Midstream;
increased volumes resulting from higher activity levels in the majority
of Pembina's operating areas on the Company's Conventional Pipelines
and in Gas Services; and, throughput above contracted levels on one of
Pembina's Oil Sands & Heavy Oil pipelines. Operating margin generated
in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 by
business are as follows:
-
$91.4 million compared to $57.8 million from Midstream;
-
$65.6 million compared to $47.5 million from Conventional Pipelines;
-
$32.6 million compared to $27.8 million from Oil Sands & Heavy Oil; and
-
$17.5 million compared to $15.1 million from Gas Services.
-
Operating margin generated during the first half of the year was
positively impacted by the factors mentioned above, as well as by the
Acquisition in the Midstream business. Operating margin generated in
the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012 by
business are as follows:
-
$219.9 million compared to $87.4 million from Midstream;
-
$126.1 million compared to $101.9 million from Conventional Pipelines;
-
$64.1 million compared to $57.9 million from Oil Sands & Heavy Oil; and
-
$36.1 million compared to $28.1 million from Gas Services.
-
Conventional Pipelines transported an average of 483.7 thousand barrels
per day ("mbpd") in the second quarter of 2013 and 488.6 mbpd in the
first half of the year, eleven and eight percent higher, respectively,
than the same periods of 2012. Gas Services also saw an increase in
volumes of two and seven percent, with the Cutbank Complex processing
an average of 290.4 million cubic feet per day ("MMcf/d") during the
second quarter and 294.8 MMcf/d in first half of 2013 compared to 285
MMcf/d and 275 MMcf/d in the comparable periods of the previous year.
-
The Company's earnings increased to $93.8 million ($0.30 per share)
during the second quarter of 2013 due to stronger operating results
from each of Pembina's businesses compared to $80.4 million ($0.28 per
share) during the second quarter of 2012, which included significant
unrealized gains on commodity-related derivative financial instruments.
Earnings were $184.3 million ($0.61 per share) during the first half of
2013 compared to $113 million ($0.50 per share) during the same period
of the prior year as a result of both improved operating results and
the impact of the Acquisition.
-
Pembina generated adjusted EBITDA of $185.1 million during the second
quarter of 2013 compared to $125.9 million during the second quarter of
2012 (adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure; see "Non-GAAP Measures").
This increase was largely due to improved results from operating
activities in each of Pembina's businesses. Adjusted EBITDA for the six
month period ended June 30, 2013 was $395.3 million compared to $237.3
million for the same period in 2012 due to strong results in each of
Pembina's legacy businesses, new assets and services having been
brought on-stream, and the completion of the Acquisition.
-
Cash flow from operating activities was $140.2 million ($0.45 per share)
for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $24.1 million ($0.08 per
share) for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to
improved results from operations and the impact of changes in non-cash
working capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash flow from
operating activities was $369.2 million ($1.22 per share) compared to
$89.4 million ($0.39 per share) during the same period last year. The
year-to-date increase was primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA
combined with changes in working capital and lower acquisition-related
costs in the period.
-
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities was $144 million ($0.47 per
share) for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $89.5 million ($0.31
per share) during the second quarter of 2012 (adjusted cash flow from
operating activities is a Non-GAAP measure; see "Non-GAAP Measures").
This increase was due to improved results from operations. Adjusted
cash flow from operating activities was $351.4 million ($1.16 per
share) during the first half of 2013 compared to $188.3 million ($0.83
share) during the same period of last year, primarily due to stronger
operating results and the impact of the Acquisition.
Growth and Operational Update
During the first half of 2013, Pembina secured approximately $1.5
billion in capital projects (not including the proposed Cornerstone
Pipeline), which the Company expects will provide long-term,
sustainable returns once complete.
Oil Sands & Heavy Oil Developments
On June 27, 2013, Pembina announced that it had executed a $35 million
engineering support agreement ("ESA") with KKD Oil Sands Partnership
("KOSP" - a partnership between Statoil Canada Ltd. ("Statoil"), as
managing partner, and PTTEP Canada Ltd.) to progress work on a
potential new oil sands pipeline project (the "Cornerstone Pipeline
System"). Concurrent with the work under the ESA, Pembina and Statoil
will proceed with negotiations to conclude long-term agreements for the
construction of and transportation service on this proposed pipeline
system, which will involve moving diluent and blended bitumen between
KOSP's enhanced oil recovery developments in northeast Alberta and the
Edmonton, Alberta area. The ESA will allow Pembina and KOSP to conduct
preliminary engineering work and begin associated stakeholder
consultation. At the conclusion of the work contemplated under the ESA,
Pembina expects to be in a position to file the applications necessary
to proceed with constructing the Cornerstone Pipeline System, subject
to reaching commercial agreements. Provided that satisfactory
commercial agreements can be reached and that regulatory and
environmental approvals can be obtained thereafter, Pembina expects the
Cornerstone Pipeline System could be in-service in mid-2017 at an
estimated cost of $850 million based on the preliminary design. The
Cornerstone Pipeline System is expected to also provide integration
opportunities and synergies for Pembina's Midstream business, which is
expected to be a 50-percent shipper on the diluent pipeline alongside
KOSP.
Midstream Developments
On July 31, 2013, Pembina announced plans to spend approximately $25
million to upsize certain facilities associated with its second
fractionator ("RFS II"), which is currently under development, to
accommodate further expansion and the development of a third
fractionator ("RFS III") at a later date at its Redwater site. Pembina
has not yet entered into commercial agreements for RFS III, but
believes there is strong market demand for additional fractionation
capacity beyond what will be available after the completion of RFS II.
Pembina's existing Redwater fractionator features 73,000 bpd of
ethane-plus fractionation capacity. With the addition of RFS II, which
is expected to come into service in the fourth quarter of 2015, the
Company's ethane-plus fractionation capacity will double to 146,000
bpd. Should RFS III proceed, the facility would leverage engineering
and design work completed for the original fractionator at Redwater and
RFS II.
With respect to Pembina's ongoing cavern development program, the
Company brought three new long-term fee-for-service caverns on stream
at its Redwater site during the second quarter. Pembina also announced,
on July 31, 2013, that it entered into long-term cost-of-service
agreements with NOVA Chemicals Corporation for the use of an additional
underground storage cavern and associated facilities at Redwater. The
cavern will provide approximately 500,000 barrels of storage, with an
expected on-stream date in mid to late 2015. Pembina expects the total
capital cost of the cavern and associated infrastructure to be
approximately $40 million. Pembina's cavern development program at
Redwater is indicative of the Company's ongoing plans to meet the
strong market demand for underground hydrocarbon storage in the greater
Fort Saskatchewan area.
Gas Services' Developments
On August 9, 2013, Pembina announced that it is pursuing a new 100
MMcf/d shallow gas plant and associated natural gas liquids ("NGL") and
gas gathering pipelines, Musreau II, near its existing Musreau
facility. Musreau II, which is expected to cost approximately $110
million, is underpinned by long-term agreements with area producers for
100 percent of the facility's capacity. The facility will be designed
to handle propane-plus (C3+) and is expected to yield approximately 4,200 barrels per day ("bpd")
of NGL for transportation on Pembina's Conventional Pipelines. Subject
to regulatory and environmental approvals, Pembina expects Musreau II
to be in-service early to mid-2015.
Conventional Pipelines Developments
Pembina is progressing its Phase I NGL Expansion, which is expected to
add 52,000 bpd of additional NGL capacity to the Peace and Northern
Pipelines (the "Peace/Northern NGL System"). In June, Pembina brought
three pump stations into service which provide an additional 17,000 bpd
of NGL capacity. On its Peace Pipeline, the Company expects to
commission three new pump stations and upgrade four existing stations
by the end of October 2013 to provide an additional 35,000 bpd of NGL
capacity at an estimated cost of $70 million.
The Company is also completing the tie-in of a major third-party gas
plant for a customer in the Deep Basin region, which is expected to
come into service in early 2014 and cost approximately $20 million. The
project includes the construction of two 11 km pipelines and
significant tube storage at one of Pembina's existing pump stations.
The Phase I low vapour pressure expansion ("LVP") is also underway on
Pembina's Peace Pipeline and will include three upgraded pump stations
and associated pipeline work between Fox Creek and Edmonton, Alberta.
This expansion will provide an additional 40,000 bpd of crude oil and
condensate capacity on this segment. Pembina commissioned and brought
into service the first of the three pump stations in July 2013, and
expects to bring the remaining two stations into service by October
2013 at an estimated cost of $30 million.
Pembina's previously announced northwest Alberta pipeline expansion
non-binding open season concluded on April 30, 2013. Nominations were
sufficient to formally proceed to the next stage of the project. As
such, Pembina has initiated stakeholder consultation activities,
advanced third-party engineering design analysis and commenced
negotiation of binding transportation agreements with area producers.
In addition, Pembina is installing eight additional crude oil and
condensate truck unloading risers at its Fox Creek Terminal to
facilitate producer access to the 95,000 bpd of incremental Phase I &
II LVP Expansion capacity. The Fox Creek Terminal project is expected
to be operational by November 2013.
Financing Activity
On July 26, 2013, Pembina closed its offering of 10,000,000 cumulative
redeemable rate reset class A preferred shares, series 1 (the "Series 1
Preferred Shares") at a price of $25.00 per share. Proceeds from the
offering will be used to partially fund capital projects, repay amounts
outstanding on the credit facility, and for other general corporate
purposes of the Company. For more details on the Series 1 Preferred
Shares, please refer to Pembina's website at www.pembina.com.
Also during the second quarter, on April 30, 2013, Pembina closed its
offering of $200 million of 30-year senior unsecured medium-term notes.
The notes have a fixed interest rate of 4.75% per annum, paid
semi-annually, and will mature on April 30, 2043. The net proceeds of
the offering were used to repay outstanding amounts on the Company's
credit facilities.
Summary
"Pembina's operating performance this quarter demonstrates, yet again,
the continued strength of our uniquely integrated asset base and
service offering, both of which support the dividend increase we were
proud to announce today" said Bob Michaleski, Pembina's Chief Executive
Officer. "Further, our two successful financings suggest that our
investors are pleased with the Company's direction and the ability of
our growth projects to add future value. With solid performance in the
first half of the year, our strengthened balance sheet, and the 3.7
percent increase in our monthly dividend, Pembina is on track to
continue delivering consistent and improving financial results and
long-term returns to investors."
Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Operating Officer added:
"Pembina has a strong track record of identifying and completing
projects that enhance our financial and operating results and drive
sustainable and growing shareholder value, as evidenced by the dividend
increase we announced today. With more projects on the books now than
ever before, we believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on the
tremendous growth opportunities we have in front of us as we offer
additional capacity and enhanced services to our customers in key
producing areas of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Our focus
going forward will be on project execution as we bring our portfolio of
announced growth projects into service over the next several years."

Revenue, net of cost of goods sold, increased 29 percent to $294.8
million during the second quarter of 2013 compared to $229 million
during the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to strong operational
performance in each of Pembina's businesses. Year-to-date revenue, net
of cost of goods sold, in 2013 was $609.7 million, up 50 percent from
the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to improved
performance in each of Pembina's legacy businesses as well as the
impact of the Acquisition.
Operating expenses were $91.1 million during the second quarter of 2013
compared to $67.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $168.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $116.1
million in the same period in 2012. The increase in operating expenses
for the second quarter and first half of 2013 was largely due to higher
variable costs in each of the Company's legacy businesses because of
increased volumes and activity as well as additional costs associated
with the growth in Pembina's asset base primarily resulting from the
Acquisition.
Operating margin totalled $207.8 million during the second quarter of
2013, up 40 percent from the same period last year when operating
margin totalled $148.9 million (Operating margin is a Non-GAAP measure;
see "Non-GAAP Measures"). For the six months ended June 30, 2013
operating margin was $447.6 million compared to $276.6 million for the
same period of 2012. These increases were primarily due to strong
performance and growth throughout Pembina's operations, but more
particularly from Midstream and Conventional Pipelines.
Realized and unrealized gains/losses on commodity-related derivative
financial instruments resulting from Pembina's market risk management
program are primarily related to power, frac spread, and product margin
derivative financial instruments (see "Market Risk Management Program"
and Note 11 to the Interim Financial Statements). The unrealized gain
on commodity-related derivative financial instruments was $1.4 million
and $7.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013,
respectively, reflecting changes in the future NGL, natural gas and
power price indices. During the comparative 2012 periods, the
significant unrealized gains on commodity-related derivative financial
instruments were largely attributable to the reduction in the future
NGL price indices between April 2, 2012 and June 30, 2012.
Depreciation and amortization (operational) decreased to $32.4 million
during the second quarter of 2013 compared to $52.5 million during the
same period in 2012. The decrease is primarily due to a re-measurement
of the decommissioning provision in excess of the carrying amount of
the related asset (see Note 7 to the Interim Financial Statements). For
the six months ended June 30, 2013, depreciation and amortization
(operational) was $74.2 million, unchanged from the same period last
year.
The increases in revenue and operating margin contributed to gross
profit of $176.8 million during the second quarter and $380.6 million
during the first six months of 2013 compared to $161.2 million and
$263.7 million during the relative periods of the prior year.
General and administrative expenses ("G&A") of $26.2 million were
incurred during the second quarter of 2013, virtually unchanged from
$25.8 million during the second quarter of 2012. G&A for the first half
of 2013 was $58.8 million compared to $43.4 million for the same period
of 2012. The increase for the six month period was mainly due to the
addition of new employees who joined the Company both as a result of
the Company's growth as well as through the Acquisition. In addition,
every $1 change in share price is expected to change Pembina's annual
share-based incentive expense by approximately $1 million.
The Company's earnings increased to $93.8 million ($0.30 per share)
during the second quarter of 2013 due to stronger operating results
from each of Pembina's businesses compared to $80.4 million ($0.28 per
share) during the second quarter of 2012, which included significant
unrealized gains on commodity-related derivative financial instruments.
Earnings were $184.3 million ($0.61 per share) during the first half of
2013 compared to $113 million ($0.50 per share) during the same period
of the prior year as a result of both improved operating results and
the impact of the Acquisition.
Pembina generated adjusted EBITDA of $185.1 million during the second
quarter of 2013 compared to $125.9 million during the second quarter of
2012 (adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure; see "Non-GAAP Measures").
This increase was largely due to improved results from operating
activities in each of Pembina's businesses. Adjusted EBITDA for the six
month period ended June 30, 2013 was $395.3 million compared to $237.3
million for the same period in 2012 due to strong results in each of
Pembina's legacy businesses, new assets and services having been
brought on-stream, and the completion of the Acquisition.
Cash flow from operating activities was $140.2 million ($0.45 per share)
for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $24.1 million ($0.08 per
share) for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to
improved results from operations and the impact of changes in non-cash
working capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash flow from
operating activities was $369.2 million ($1.22 per share) compared to
$89.4 million ($0.39 per share) during the same period last year. The
year-to-date increase was primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA
combined with changes in working capital and lower acquisition-related
costs in the period.
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities was $144 million ($0.47 per
share) for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $89.5 million ($0.31
per share) during the second quarter of 2012 (adjusted cash flow from
operating activities is a Non-GAAP measure; see "Non-GAAP Measures").
This increase was due to improved results from operations. Adjusted
cash flow from operating activities was $351.4 million ($1.16 per
share) during the first half of 2013 compared to $188.3 million ($0.83
share) during the same period of last year, primarily due to stronger
operating results and the impact of the Acquisition.

Business Overview
Pembina's Conventional Pipelines business comprises a well-maintained
and strategically located 7,850 km pipeline network that extends across
much of Alberta and B.C. It transports approximately half of Alberta's
conventional crude oil production, about thirty percent of the NGL
produced in western Canada, and virtually all of the conventional oil
and condensate produced in B.C. This business' primary objective is to
generate sustainable operating margin while pursuing opportunities for
increased throughput and revenue. Conventional Pipelines endeavours to
maintain and/or improve operating margin by capturing incremental
volumes, expanding its pipeline systems, managing revenue and following
a disciplined approach to its operating expenses.
Operational Performance: Throughput
During the second quarter of 2013, Conventional Pipelines' throughput
averaged 483.7 mbpd, consisting of an average of 363 mbpd of crude oil
and condensate and 120.7 mbpd of NGL. This represents an increase of
approximately 11 percent compared to the same period of 2012, when
average throughput was 433.9 mbpd. On a year-to-date basis in 2013,
throughput averaged 488.6 mbpd compared to 450.4 mbpd in the first half
of 2012. The higher throughputs resulted from increased oil and gas
producer activity in the areas serviced by Conventional Pipelines,
which led to a number of newly connected facilities and increased
volumes at existing connections and at truck terminals.
Financial Performance
During the second quarter of 2013, Conventional Pipelines generated
revenue of $101.5 million compared to $78.4 million in the same quarter
of the previous year. For the first six months of 2013, revenue was
$197.3 million compared to $160.6 million for the same period in 2012.
The 29 and 23 percent increases during the respective periods were
primarily due to stronger volumes, as noted above, and modest tariff
increases on certain pipeline systems. Further, a pipeline system
previously in the Midstream business was reassigned to Conventional
Pipelines, resulting in increased revenue of $7.1 million and $13.1
million for the second quarter and first six months of 2013,
respectively. This had no impact on volume (discussed above) as the
assets are interconnected to existing Conventional Pipelines systems.
During the second quarter of 2013, operating expenses increased to $37.7
million compared to $30 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased to
$73 million from $57.5 million during the same period of 2012. The
quarterly and year-to-date increases were mainly associated with work
to ensure safe and reliable operations at higher throughput levels,
such as increased pipeline integrity and geotechnical initiatives, as
well as power and labour costs, compared to the same periods of the
prior year.
As a result of higher revenue, which was partially offset by an increase
in operating expenses, operating margin for the second quarter of 2013
was $65.6 million compared to $47.5 million during the second quarter
of 2012 and $126.1 million for the first half of 2013 compared to
$101.9 million for the first six months of 2012.
For depreciation and amortization included in operations during the
second quarter, Conventional Pipelines recovered $2.1 million due to a re-measurement of the decommissioning provision in excess of the
carrying amount of the related asset. This compares to an expense of
$12.2 million during the second quarter of 2012. Depreciation and
amortization included in operations for the six months ended June 30,
2013 was also a recovery of $0.5 million, due to the same factor noted
above. This compares to an expense of $24.1 million in the first half
of 2012.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, gross profit was $69.1
million and $128.9 million, respectively, compared to $35.6 million and
$75.1 million for the same periods of the prior year. These increases
are due to higher revenue generated during the quarter and first half
of the year, for the reasons discussed above, as well as the recovery
in depreciation and amortization included in operations.
Capital expenditures for the second quarter and first half of 2013
totalled $58.9 million and $120.3 million, respectively, compared to
$55.6 million and $64.5 for the same periods of 2012. The majority of
this spending relates to the expansion of certain pipeline assets as
described below, as well as several new connections.
New Developments
Pembina is pursuing several crude oil, condensate and NGL expansions on
its Conventional Pipelines systems to accommodate increased customer
demand and address constrained pipeline capacity in several areas of
the WCSB.
NGL Pipeline Capacity Expansions
Pembina is progressing its Phase I NGL Expansion, which is expected to
add 52,000 bpd of additional NGL capacity to the Peace and Northern
Pipelines (the "Peace/Northern NGL System"). In June, Pembina brought
three pump stations into service which provide an additional 17,000 bpd
of NGL capacity. On its Peace Pipeline, the Company expects to
commission three new pump stations and upgrade four existing stations
by the end of October 2013 to provide an additional 35,000 bpd of NGL
capacity at an estimated cost of $70 million. Once complete, the Phase
I NGL Expansion will increase NGL capacity on the Peace/Northern NGL
System by 45 percent to 167,000 bpd.
As part of the Company's approximately $1 billion expansion of its
existing NGL infrastructure, Pembina is also proceeding with the
proposed Phase II NGL Expansion of its Peace/Northern NGL System which
will increase capacity from 167,000 bpd to 220,000 bpd. In total, the
Phase I and II expansions are expected to increase NGL transportation
capacity by 90 percent. Subject to obtaining regulatory and
environmental approvals, Pembina expects the Phase II NGL Expansion to
cost approximately $415 million (including mainline and tie-in capital)
and to be complete in early to mid-2015.
The Company is also completing the tie-in of a major third-party gas
plant for a customer in the Deep Basin region, which is expected to
come into service in early 2014 and cost approximately $20 million. The
project includes the construction of two 11 km pipelines and
significant tube storage at one of Pembina's existing pump stations.
Crude Oil and Condensate Pipeline Capacity Expansions
The Phase I low vapour pressure expansion ("LVP") is also underway on
Pembina's Peace Pipeline and will include three upgraded pump stations
and associated pipeline work between Fox Creek and Edmonton, Alberta.
This expansion will provide an additional 40,000 bpd of crude oil and
condensate capacity on this segment. Pembina commissioned and brought
into service the first of the three pump stations in July 2013, and
expects to bring the remaining two stations into service by October
2013 at an estimated cost of $30 million.
On February 13, 2013, Pembina announced that it had reached its
contractual threshold to proceed with its previously announced plans to
significantly expand its crude oil and condensate throughput capacity
on its Peace Pipeline system by 55,000 bpd ("Phase II LVP Expansion").
Pembina expects the total cost of the Phase II LVP Expansion to be
approximately $250 million (including the mainline expansion and
tie-ins). Subject to regulatory and environmental approvals, Pembina
anticipates being able to bring the expansion into service by late
2014. Once complete, this expansion will increase LVP capacity on
Pembina's Peace Pipeline to 250,000 bpd. The Phase II LVP Expansion is
underpinned by long-term fee-for-service agreements with area
producers. The combined LVP expansions will increase capacity by 61
percent from current levels.
Open Season Update
Pembina's previously announced northwest Alberta pipeline expansion
non-binding open season concluded on April 30, 2013. Nominations were
sufficient to formally proceed to the next stage of the project. As
such, Pembina has initiated stakeholder consultation activities,
advanced third-party engineering design analysis and commenced
negotiation of binding transportation agreements with area producers.
In addition, Pembina is installing eight additional crude oil and
condensate truck unloading risers at its Fox Creek Terminal to
facilitate producer access to the 95,000 bpd of incremental Phase I &
II LVP Expansion capacity. The Fox Creek Terminal project is expected
to be operational by November 2013.
Supporting Gas Services
Conventional Pipelines is also constructing the pipeline components of
the Company's Saturn I, Saturn II and Resthaven gas plant projects.
These pipeline projects will gather NGL from the gas plants for
delivery to Pembina's Peace Pipeline system. Both Saturn I and Saturn
II will use the same pipeline lateral, which is complete and ready for
service when the Saturn I facility comes on-stream. Some additional
equipment will be required when Saturn II is complete to tie the
facility into the lateral. Pembina is also continuing to progress the
pipeline component of the Resthaven project and is on schedule to meet
the targeted in-service date.

Business Overview
Pembina plays an important role in supporting Alberta's oil sands and
heavy oil industry. Pembina is the sole transporter of crude oil for
Syncrude Canada Ltd. (via the Syncrude Pipeline) and Canadian Natural
Resources Ltd.'s Horizon Oil Sands operation (via the Horizon Pipeline)
to delivery points near Edmonton, Alberta. Pembina also owns and
operates the Nipisi and Mitsue Pipelines, which provide transportation
for producers operating in the Pelican Lake and Peace River heavy oil
regions of Alberta, and the Cheecham Lateral, which transports
synthetic crude to oil sands producers operating southeast of Fort
McMurray, Alberta. The Oil Sands & Heavy Oil business operates
approximately 1,650 km of pipeline and has 870 mbpd of capacity under
long-term, extendible contracts, which provide for the flow-through of
operating expenses to customers. As a result, operating margin from
this business is driven by the amount of capital invested and is
predominantly not sensitive to fluctuations in operating expenses or
actual throughput.
Financial Performance
The Oil Sands & Heavy Oil business realized revenue of $50.9 million in
the second quarter of 2013 compared to $39.4 million in the second
quarter of 2012. Year-to-date revenue in 2013 was $94.3 million
compared to $82.5 million for the same period in 2012. Revenue for the
second quarter and first half of the year was higher than the
comparable periods of the prior year mostly due to higher recoverable
operating costs across the systems as well as increased contribution
from the Nipisi system due to a new pump station being placed
in-service, which allowed for additional volumes above contracted
levels in the 2013 periods.
Operating expenses were $18.3 million during the second quarter of 2013
compared to $11.6 million during the second quarter of 2012. For the
first six months of 2013, operating expenses were $30.2 million
compared to $24.6 million for the same period in 2012. Additional power
costs were the main reason for the increase in operating expenses for
both the second quarter and first half of 2013.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, operating margin
increased to $32.6 million and $64.1 million compared to $27.8 million
and $57.9 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2012. These
increases were primarily due to a new pump station being placed
in-service which allowed for additional throughput above contracted
volumes on the Nipisi pipeline in the 2013 periods.
Depreciation and amortization included in operations for the second
quarter and first half of 2013 totalled $4.9 million and $9.8 million
respectively, unchanged from the same periods of the prior year.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, gross profit was $27.7
million and $54.3 million, higher than gross profit of $22.9 million
and $48.1 million, respectively, during the same periods of 2012.
During the first half of the year, capital expenditures within the Oil
Sands & Heavy Oil business totalled $24.6 million and were primarily
related to the construction of additional pump stations in the Slave
Lake, Alberta, area on the Nipisi and Mitsue pipelines. This compares
to $6 million spent during the same period in 2012, the majority of
which related to completing the two pipeline construction projects.
New Developments
On June 27, 2013, Pembina announced that it had secured a $35 million
engineering support agreement ("ESA") with KKD Oil Sands Partnership
("KOSP" - a partnership between Statoil Canada Ltd. ("Statoil"), as
managing partner, and PTTEP Canada Ltd.) to progress work on a
potential new oil sands pipeline project (the "Cornerstone Pipeline
System"). Concurrent with the work under the ESA, Pembina and Statoil
will proceed with negotiations to conclude long-term agreements for the
construction of and transportation service on the Cornerstone Pipeline
System. The Cornerstone Pipeline System, a diluent and blended bitumen
pipeline system, would provide transportation services between KOSP's
enhanced oil recovery developments in northeast Alberta and the
Edmonton, Alberta area. The ESA will allow for Pembina and KOSP to
conduct preliminary engineering work and begin associated stakeholder
consultation. At the conclusion of the work contemplated under the ESA,
Pembina expects to be in a position to file the applications necessary
to proceed with constructing the Cornerstone Pipeline System, subject
to reaching commercial agreements. Provided that satisfactory
commercial agreements can be reached and that regulatory and
environmental approvals can be obtained thereafter, Pembina expects the
Cornerstone Pipeline System could be in-service in mid-2017 at an
estimated cost of $850 million based on the preliminary design. The
Cornerstone Pipeline System is expected to also provide integration
opportunities and synergies for Pembina's Midstream business, which is
expected to be a 50-percent shipper on the diluent pipeline alongside
KOSP.
On the Nipisi Pipeline, Pembina commissioned a new pump station in April
2013, which increased its capacity to 105,000 bpd. Work is continuing
on the corresponding pump station for the Mitsue condensate pipeline,
which is anticipated to be in-service in the third quarter of 2013 and
will bring Mitsue's capacity from 18,000 bpd to 22,000 bpd.

Business Overview
Pembina's operations include a growing natural gas gathering and
processing business. Located near Grande Prairie, Alberta, Pembina's
key revenue-generating Gas Services' asset is the Cutbank Complex,
which includes three sweet gas processing plants with 425 MMcf/d of
processing capacity (368 MMcf/d net to Pembina), a 205 MMcf/d ethane
plus extraction facility, as well as approximately 350 km of gathering
pipelines. The Cutbank Complex is connected to Pembina's Peace Pipeline
system and serves an active exploration and production area in the
WCSB. Pembina has initiated construction on and development of numerous
projects in its Gas Services business to meet the growing needs of
producers in west central Alberta.
Operational Performance
Average processing volumes, net to Pembina, were 290.4 MMcf/d during the
second quarter of 2013, slightly higher than the 285 MMcf/d processed
during the second quarter of the previous year. On a year-to-date
basis, volumes have increased just over seven percent compared to the
first half of last year. This increase is attributed to sustained
interest of producers in the surrounding areas and their focus on
liquids-rich natural gas, which continues to attract higher commodity
pricing relative to dry gas.
Financial Performance
Gas Services recorded a 29 percent increase in revenue during the second
quarter of 2013, contributing $28.6 million compared to $22.2 million
in the second quarter of 2012. For the first half of the year, revenue
was $56.1 million compared to $41.3 million in the same period of 2012.
These increases primarily reflect higher fees for additional capital
invested at the Company's Cutbank Complex and greater volumes, coupled
with increased recovery of operating expenses of $4 million and $6.8
million, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2013, operating expenses were $11.1 million
compared to $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. Year-to-date
operating expenses totalled $20 million, up from $13.2 million during
the same period of the prior year. The quarterly and year-to-date
increases were mainly due to labour and power costs associated with
higher volumes and increased activity at the Cutbank Complex as well as
additional expenses related to running the Musreau shallow cut
expansion and deep cut facility.
As a result of processing higher volumes at the Cutbank Complex, an
increase in fees for capital invested and additional processing
associated with the Musreau deep cut facility, Gas Services realized
operating margin of $17.5 million in the second quarter and $36.1
million in the first half of 2013 compared to $15.1 million and $28.1
million during the same periods of the prior year.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, gross profit was $13.9 million
compared to $10.8 million in the same period of 2012. On a year-to-date
basis, gross profit was $28.9 million compared to $20.6 million during
the first half of 2012. These increases reflect higher operating margin
during the period.
For the first six months of 2013, capital expenditures within Gas
Services totalled $122.3 million compared to $55.8 million during the
same period of 2012. This increase was because of spending to progress
the Saturn I, Saturn II and Resthaven facilities, discussed below.
New Developments
Pembina's Gas Services business is progressing four new facilities and
associated infrastructure:
-
Saturn I facility - a 200 MMcf/d enhanced NGL extraction facility in the
Berland area of west central Alberta, which is expected to cost $165
million;
-
Resthaven facility - a 200 MMcf/d (130 MMcf/d net to Pembina) combined
shallow cut and deep cut NGL extraction facility in the Resthaven,
Alberta area, which is now expected to cost $240 million (net to
Pembina);
-
Saturn II facility - a 200 MMcf/d 'twin' of the Saturn I facility, which
is expected to cost $170 million; and,
-
Musreau II - a 100 MMcf/d shallow cut gas plant and associated
infrastructure, which is expected to cost $110 million.
Saturn I
Pembina has completed construction of and is in the process of dry
commissioning the Saturn I facility. The Company is on schedule to have
Saturn I and its associated pipelines in-service in the third quarter
of 2013. Once operational, Pembina expects Saturn I will have the
capacity to extract up to 13.5 mbpd of NGL.
Resthaven
Pembina is progressing construction of the Resthaven facility and
expects to bring the facility and associated pipelines into service in
the third quarter of 2014. Capital costs on this project have increased
due to design redevelopment and scope changes. Once operational, the
Company expects the Resthaven facility will have the capacity to
extract up to 13 mbpd of NGL.
In the second quarter, Pembina took over operatorship of the existing
100 MMcf/d shallow cut plant at the Resthaven site from Encana in order
to streamline operation of the plant while the Resthaven facility is
under construction.
Saturn II
Saturn II will leverage the engineering work completed for the Saturn I
facility and is underpinned by a firm-service contract with a
third-party for 130 MMcf/d (approximately 65 percent of the facility's
total capacity) for a term of 10 years. Pembina expects the project
could be in-service by late 2015, subject to regulatory and
environmental approvals. Based on 100 percent capacity, Saturn II is
expected to extract approximately 13.5 mbpd of NGL which will be
transported on the same pipeline lateral Pembina is currently
constructing for Saturn I.
Musreau II
On August 9, 2013, Pembina announced that it is pursuing a new 100
MMcf/d shallow gas plant and associated NGL and gas gathering
pipelines, Musreau II, near its existing Musreau facility. Musreau II
is underpinned by long-term agreements with area producers. The
facility will be designed to handle propane-plus (C3+) and is expected to yield approximately 4.2 mbpd of NGL for
transportation on Pembina's Conventional Pipelines. Subject to
regulatory and environmental approvals, Pembina expects Musreau II to
be in-service in early to mid-2015.
Summary
Pembina expects the expansions detailed above to bring the Company's Gas
Services processing capacity to approximately 1.2 billion cubic feet
per day (net) by the end of 2015. This includes enhanced NGL extraction
capacity of approximately 735 MMcf/d (net). The volumes from Pembina's
existing assets and those under development would be processed largely
on a contracted, fee-for-service basis and are expected to result in
approximately 55 mbpd of NGL to be transported for additional toll
revenue on Pembina's Conventional Pipelines once the projects are
complete.

Business Overview
Pembina offers customers a comprehensive suite of midstream products and
services through its Midstream business as follows:
-
Crude oil midstream targets oil and diluent-related development
opportunities from key sites across Pembina's network, which is
comprised of 15 truck terminals (including one capable of emulsion
treating and water disposal), terminalling at downstream hub locations,
storage, and the Pembina Nexus Terminal ("PNT"). PNT includes: 21
inbound pipeline connections; 13 outbound pipeline connections; in
excess of 1.2 million bpd of crude oil and condensate connected to the
terminal; and, 310,000 barrels of surface storage in and around the
Edmonton, Alberta area.
-
NGL midstream includes two NGL operating systems - Redwater West and
Empress East. The financial performance of NGL midstream can be
affected by the seasonal demand for propane. Inventory generally builds
over the second and third quarters of the year and is sold in the
fourth quarter and the first quarter of the following year during the
winter heating season.
-
The Redwater West NGL system includes the Younger extraction and
fractionation facility in B.C.; a 73 mbpd NGL fractionator and 7.8
mmbbls of finished product cavern storage at Redwater, Alberta; and,
third-party fractionation capacity in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.
Redwater West purchases NGL mix from various natural gas and NGL
producers and fractionates it into finished products for further
distribution and sale. Also located at the Redwater site is Pembina's
industry-leading rail-based terminal which services Pembina's
proprietary and customer needs for importing and exporting LPG and
crude oil
-
The Empress East NGL system includes a 2.1 bcf/d interest in the
straddle plants at Empress, Alberta; 20 mbpd of fractionation capacity
and 1.1 mmbbls of cavern storage in Sarnia, Ontario; and, ownership of
5.1 mmbbls of hydrocarbon storage at Corunna, Ontario. Empress East
extracts NGL mix from natural gas at the Empress straddle plants and
purchases NGL mix from other producers/suppliers. Ethane and condensate
are generally fractionated out of the NGL mix at Empress and sold into
Alberta markets. The remaining NGL mix is transported by pipeline to
Sarnia, Ontario for fractionation, distribution and sale. Propane and
butane are sold into central Canadian and eastern U.S. markets.
Financial Performance
In the Midstream business, revenue, net of cost of goods sold, grew to
$113.8 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $89 million
during the second quarter of 2012. For the most part, the increase is
due to a more balanced propane market and lower inventories in North
America in the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. Year-to-date revenue, net of cost of goods sold, was $262 million in
2013 compared to $121 million in 2012. This increase was primarily due
to a full six months of results generated by the NGL assets in 2013
compared to the 2012 period, which only captured three months of
results due to the timing of the Acquisition, along with strong margins
and increased storage opportunities for crude oil Midstream in the
first quarter of 2013.
Operating expenses during the second quarter and first half of 2013 were
$24.7 million and $46.5 million, respectively, compared to $19.7
million and $22.1 million in the comparable periods of 2012. Operating
expenses were higher due to the increase in Midstream's asset base
since the Acquisition.
Operating margin was $91.4 million during the second quarter of 2013 and
$219.9 million during the first half of the year compared to $57.8
million and $87.4 million in the respective periods of 2012. These
increases primarily relate to growth in revenue, as discussed above,
but were partially offset by higher operating expenses.
The Company's crude oil midstream operating margin decreased to $28.1
million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $30.7 million during
the second quarter of 2012. This decrease was largely due to narrower
price differentials resulting in fewer storage opportunities and lower
overall margins in the second quarter. For the first half of the year,
crude oil midstream operating margin totalled $70.8 million compared to
$60.3 million during the same period of the prior year. The
year-to-date increase was due to strong first quarter 2013 results
driven by higher volumes and increased activity on Pembina's pipeline
systems, robust demand for diluent services, wider margins, as well as
increased throughput at the crude oil Midstream truck terminals.
Operating margin for Pembina's NGL midstream activities was $63.3
million for the second quarter, including a $2.9 million realized gain
on commodity-related derivative financial instruments (see "Market Risk
Management Program") compared to $27.1 million for the second quarter
of 2012 including an $11.2 million realized loss on commodity related
derivative financial instruments. For the six months ended June 30,
2013, operating margin for NGL midstream was $149.1 million, including
a $6.7 million realized gain on commodity-related derivative financial
instruments compared to $27.1 million, which included a realized loss
on commodity-related derivative financial instruments of $11.2 million,
for the same period of 2012.
NGL sales volumes during the second quarter of 2013 were 93.8 mbpd, a
four percent increase overall from the second quarter of 2012, driven
by higher sales in propane, butane and condensate.
Operating margin from Redwater West during the second quarter of 2013,
excluding realized losses from commodity-related derivative financial
instruments, was $44.6 million compared to $36.2 million in the second
quarter of 2012. The increase is primarily driven by a stronger
year-over-year market for propane. Increased sales volumes for
condensate also contributed to a higher operating margin in the second
quarter of 2013. The increases in propane and condensate margins were
somewhat offset by softer butane markets, as 2013 western Canadian
butane inventories are at the high end of the five-year average.
Overall, Redwater West NGL sales volumes averaged 58.8 mbpd in the
second quarter of 2013 compared to 51.9 mbpd in the second quarter of
2012.
Operating margin from Empress East during the second quarter of 2013,
excluding realized losses from commodity-related derivative financial
instruments, was $15.9 million compared to $2.2 million in the same
quarter in 2012. Similar to Redwater West, the increase in second
quarter results in Empress East is primarily driven by a stronger
year-over-year market for propane. The operating margin for condensate
was slightly higher in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same
quarter of the prior year while operating margins for butane and ethane
were slightly lower. Overall, Empress East NGL sales volumes averaged
35.1 mbpd in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 38.5 mbpd in the
second quarter of 2012.
Depreciation and amortization included in operations during the second
quarter of 2013 totalled $26 million compared to $31.1 million during
the same period of the prior year. The decrease reflects a reassignment
of assets previously in the Midstream business to Conventional
Pipelines, as previously discussed. Year-to-date depreciation and
amortization included in operations totaled $57.7 million, up from
$32.8 million during the first half of 2012. The year-to-date increases
reflect the additional Midstream assets in this business since the
closing of the Acquisition.
In the second quarter of 2013, unrealized gains on commodity-related
derivative financial instruments were nil compared to $64.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the first half of the year,
unrealized gains on commodity-related derivative financial instruments
were $4.9 million compared to $64 million in the same period of the
prior year. The significant unrealized gains on commodity-related
derivative financial instruments which were recognized in the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, reflected the
reduction in the future NGL price indices between April 2, 2012 and
June 30, 2012.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, gross profit in this
business was $65.4 million and $167.1 million compared to $91.2 million
and $118.6 million during the same periods in 2012 due to the factors
impacting revenue, operating expenses and depreciation and amortization
(operational) and unrealized gain (loss) on commodity-related
derivative financial instruments noted above.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, capital expenditures within the
Midstream business totalled $89.8 million compared to $55.9 million
during the same period of 2012 and were primarily related to cavern
development and associated infrastructure.
New Developments
Market demand for assets and services in the Midstream space is strong
across all commodities. The capital being deployed in the Midstream
business is primarily directed towards fee-for-service projects which
are expected to continue to increase this businesses' stability and
predictability.
The most substantial project in this business is the twinning of
Pembina's existing Redwater fractionator in Redwater, Alberta ("RFS
II"), which was announced on March 5, 2013 and is part of the Company's
$1 billion NGL infrastructure expansion. Subject to regulatory and
environmental approvals, Pembina expects RFS II to be in-service late
in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Under the agreements signed with producers, Pembina will receive
committed take-or-pay operating margin for an initial 10-year term from
the in-service date. Contracts for 97 percent of the facility's
operating capacity have been secured. Ethane produced at RFS II will be
sold under a long-term fixed-fee arrangement.
The Company also announced, on July 31, 2013, that it plans to spend
approximately $25 million to upsize certain facilities associated with
RFS II to accommodate further expansion and the development of a third
fractionator ("RFS III") at a later date at its Redwater site. Pembina
has not yet entered into commercial agreements for RFS III, but
believes there is strong market demand for additional fractionation
capacity beyond what will be available after the completion of RFS II.
With the addition of RFS II, which is expected to come into service in
the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company's ethane-plus fractionation
capacity at Redwater will double to 146,000 bpd. Should RFS III
proceed, the facility would leverage engineering and design work
completed for the original fractionator at Redwater and RFS II.
With respect to Pembina's ongoing cavern development program, the
Company brought three new long-term fee-for-service caverns on stream
at its Redwater site during the second quarter. Pembina also announced,
on July 31, 2013, that it entered into long-term cost-of-service
agreements with NOVA Chemicals Corporation for the use of an additional
underground storage cavern and associated facilities at Redwater. The
cavern will provide approximately 500,000 barrels of storage, with an
expected on-stream date in mid to late 2015. Pembina expects the total
capital cost of the cavern and associated infrastructure to be
approximately $40 million. Pembina's cavern development program at
Redwater is indicative of the Company's ongoing plans to meet the
strong market demand for underground hydrocarbon storage in the greater
Fort Saskatchewan area.
Pembina also continues to advance numerous other projects in Midstream
as follows:
-
In July 2013, Pembina brought a new full-service terminal ("FST") on
stream. This FST is a joint venture in the Judy Creek area of Alberta
and will serve the production from Beaverhill Lake and Swan Hills. The
Company plans to bring a second FST that serves producers in the
Cynthia area west of Drayton Valley on stream in the first quarter of
2014, a quarter behind its original schedule.
-
In September 2013, Pembina expects to begin commercial operations of its
40,000 bpd crude oil rail loading facility.
-
Pembina's Midstream business is working with Oil Sands & Heavy Oil to
leverage the potential Cornerstone Pipeline project and offer
additional midstream related services and is expected to be a
50-percent shipper on the diluent pipeline alongside KOSP.
-
Pembina is also continuing to investigate offshore propane export
opportunities that would allow it to leverage its existing assets and
provide a substantial incremental market for Canadian producers
impacted by weak western Canadian pricing.
Market Risk Management Program
Pembina is exposed to frac spread risk, which is the difference between
the selling price for propane-plus liquids and the input cost of
natural gas required to produce respective NGL products. Pembina has a
risk management program and uses derivative financial instruments to
mitigate frac spread risk, when possible, to safeguard a base level of
operating cash flow that covers the input cost of natural gas. Pembina
has entered into derivative financial swap contracts to partially
protect the frac spread and product margin, and to manage exposure to
power costs, interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Pembina's credit policy mitigates risk of non-performance by
counterparties of its derivative financial instruments. Activities
undertaken to reduce risk include: regularly monitoring counterparty
exposure to approved credit limits; financial reviews of all active
counterparties; entering into International Swap Dealers Association
agreements; and, obtaining financial assurances where warranted. In
addition, Pembina has a diversified base of available counterparties.
Management continues to actively monitor commodity price risk and
mitigate its impact through financial risk management activities. For
more information on financial instruments and financial risk
management, see Note 11 to the Interim Financial Statements.
Non-Operating Expenses
G&A
Pembina incurred G&A (including corporate depreciation and amortization)
of $26.2 million during the second quarter of 2013, virtually unchanged
from $25.8 million during the second quarter of 2012. G&A for the first
half of 2013 was $58.8 million compared to $43.4 million for the same
period of 2012. The increase for the six month period was mainly due to
the addition of new employees who joined the Company both as a result
of the Company's growth as well as through the Acquisition. In
addition, every $1 change in share price is expected to change
Pembina's annual share-based incentive expense by approximately $1
million.
Depreciation & Amortization (operational)
Depreciation and amortization (operational) decreased to $32.4 million
during the second quarter of 2013 compared to $52.5 million during the
same period in 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013,
depreciation and amortization (operational) was $74.2 million,
unchanged from the same period last year. The variance during the
quarter compared to the same period of last year is primarily due to a
re-measurement of the decommissioning provision in excess of the
carrying amount of the related asset.
Net Finance Costs
Net finance costs in the second quarter of 2013 were $24.4 million
compared to $26.8 million in the second quarter of 2012. This slight
decrease is primarily due to gains on non-commodity-related derivative
financial instruments driven by higher forward interest rates, as well
as higher interest income and lower interest expense on loans and
borrowings, offset by a loss on revaluation of the conversion feature
of the convertible debentures. Year-to-date net finance costs in 2013
totaled $75.2 million, up from $46.3 million in the same period of
2012. The increase primarily relates to a $28.1 million loss on
revaluation of the conversion feature on convertible debentures as a
result of an increase in the market price of Pembina shares.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $31.4 million for the second quarter of 2013,
including current taxes of $8.3 million and deferred taxes of $23.1
million compared to current tax benefits of $0.6 million and deferred
taxes of $27.7 million in the same period of 2012. Year-to-date income
tax expense in 2013 totaled $61.6 million, up from $38 million in the
same period of 2012. The current taxes arose during the quarter
primarily as a result of certain Pembina subsidiary corporation's
taxable income exceeding their losses available for carry-over.
Deferred income tax expense arises from the difference between the
accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

Pembina anticipates cash flow from operating activities will be more
than sufficient to meet its short-term operating obligations and fund
its targeted dividend level. In the short-term, Pembina expects to
source funds required for capital projects from cash and cash
equivalents and unutilized debt facilities totalling $1,434.8 million
as at June 30, 2013. In addition, based on its successful access to
financing in the debt and equity markets during the past several years,
Pembina believes it would likely continue to have access to funds at
attractive rates. Management 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 make adjustments to 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 new debt terms, repay
existing debt, seek new borrowing and/or issue equity.
Pembina's credit facilities at June 30, 2013 consisted of an unsecured
$1.5 billion revolving credit facility due March 2018 and an operating
facility of $30 million due July 2014. Borrowings on the revolving
credit facility and the operating facility bear interest at prime
lending rates plus nil percent to 1.25 percent or Bankers' Acceptances
rates plus 1.00 percent to 2.25 percent. Margins on the credit
facilities are based on the credit rating of Pembina's senior unsecured
debt. There are no repayments due over the term of these facilities. As
at June 30, 2013, Pembina had $105 million drawn on bank debt, $0.1
million in letters of credit and $9.8 million in cash, leaving $1,434.8
million of unutilized debt facilities on the $1,530 million of
established bank facilities. Pembina also had an additional $17 million
in letters of credit issued in a separate demand letter of credit
facility. At June 30, 2013, Pembina had loans and borrowing (excluding
amortization, letters of credit and finance lease liabilities) of
$1,730.8 million. Pembina's senior debt to total capital at June 30,
2013 was 25 percent.
On July 26, 2013, Pembina announced that it closed its previously
announced public offering of 10,000,000 cumulative redeemable rate
reset class A preferred shares, series 1 (the "Series 1 Preferred
Shares") at a price of $25.00 per Series 1 Preferred Share for
aggregate gross proceeds of $250 million. This includes shares issued
in respect of the previously announced underwriters' option to purchase
an additional 2,000,000 Series 1 Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00
per share, which was exercised in full. Proceeds from the offering will
be used to partially fund capital projects, repay amounts outstanding
on the credit facility, and for other general corporate purposes of the
Company. The Series 1 Preferred Shares began trading on the Toronto
Stock Exchange on July 26, 2013 under the symbol PPL.PR.A.
Also during the second quarter, on April 30, 2013, Pembina closed its
offering of $200 million of 30-year senior unsecured medium-term notes.
The notes have a fixed interest rate of 4.75% per annum, paid
semi-annually, and will mature on April 30, 2043. The net proceeds of
the offering were used to repay outstanding amounts on the Company's
credit facilities.

The following information with respect to Pembina's credit ratings is
provided as it 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 on 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 may affect Pembina's ability to, and the associated costs of,
entering into normal course derivative or hedging transactions. Credit
ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure
of 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 ratings comment on market price
or suitability for a particular investor. Any 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 judgement
circumstances so warrant.
DBRS rates Pembina's senior unsecured notes 'BBB' and Series 1 Preferred
Shares Pfd-3. S&P's long-term corporate credit rating on Pembina is
'BBB' and its rating of the Series 1 Preferred Shares is P-3.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Practices
The following new standards, interpretations, amendments and
improvements to existing standards issued by the International
Accounting Standard Board or International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee were adopted as of January 1, 2013 without
any material impact to Pembina's Financial Statements: IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, and IAS 19 Employee Future Benefits.
Controls and Procedures
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
Pembina's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal control over
financial reporting ("ICFR"), as those terms are defined in National
Instrument 52-109 "Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and
Interim Filings". The objective of this instrument is to improve the
quality, reliability and transparency of information that is filed or
submitted under securities legislation.
The CEO and the CFO have designed, with the assistance of Pembina
employees, 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, financial reporting is reliable, and
financial statements prepared for external purposes are in accordance
with GAAP.
During the second quarter 2013, there were no changes made to Pembina's
ICFR that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, its ICFR.

As indicated in the previous table, Pembina's total enterprise value was
$12.5 billion at June 30, 2013 compared to $9.9 billion at June 30,
2012. The Company's issued and outstanding shares rose to 309.5 million
by the end of the second quarter 2013, compared to 287.8 million in the
same period of 2012, primarily due to shares issued on the closing of
the bought deal financing which closed in the first quarter of 2013 and
shares issued under the DRIP.
Dividends
Pembina announced on August 9, 2013, that it increased its monthly
dividend rate by 3.7 percent from $0.135 per common share per month (or
$1.62 annualized) to $0.14 per common share per month (or $1.68
annualized) effective as of the August 25, 2013 record date, payable
September 13, 2013. Pembina is committed to providing increased
shareholder returns over time by providing stable dividends and, where
appropriate, further increases in Pembina's dividend, subject to
compliance with applicable laws and the approval of Pembina's Board of
Directors. Pembina has a history of delivering common share dividend
increases once supportable over the long-term by the underlying
fundamentals of Pembina's businesses as a result of, among other
things, accretive growth projects or acquisitions (see "Forward-Looking
Statements & Information").
Dividends are payable if, as, and when declared by Pembina's Board of
Directors. The amount and frequency of dividends declared and payable
is at the discretion of the Board of Directors which will consider
earnings, capital requirements, the financial condition of Pembina and
other relevant factors.
Eligible Canadian investors may benefit from an enhanced dividend tax
credit afforded to the receipt of dividends, depending on individual
circumstances. Dividends paid to eligible U.S. investors should qualify
for the reduced rate of tax applicable to long-term capital gains but
investors are encouraged to seek independent tax advice in this regard.
DRIP
Eligible Pembina shareholders have the opportunity to receive, by
reinvesting the cash dividends declared payable by Pembina on their
common shares, either (i) additional common shares at a discounted
subscription price equal to 95 percent of the Average Market Price (as
defined in the DRIP), pursuant to the "Dividend Reinvestment Component"
of the DRIP, or (ii) a premium cash payment (the "Premium Dividend™")
equal to 102 percent of the amount of reinvested dividends, pursuant to
the "Premium Dividend™ Component" of the DRIP. Additional information
about the terms and conditions of the DRIP can be found at
www.pembina.com.
Participation in the DRIP for the second quarter of 2013 was
approximately 57 percent of common shares outstanding for proceeds of
approximately $70.5 million.
As of the April 25, 2013 record date, Pembina has made its DRIP
available to its U.S. shareholders. U.S. shareholders are only
permitted to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Component of
Pembina's DRIP. Only Canadian resident shareholders are currently
permitted to participate in the Premium Dividend™ Component of the
DRIP. Shareholders who elect to enroll in the full Dividend
Reinvestment Component are notified that the sale of the common shares
issued on reinvestment is being made pursuant to a registration
statement on Form F-3 filed by Pembina with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Risk Factors
Management has identified the primary risk factors that could
potentially have a material impact on the financial results and
operations of Pembina. Such risk factors are presented in Pembina's
MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in Pembina's Annual
Information Form ("AIF") for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Pembina's MD&A and AIF are available at www.pembina.com, in Canada under Pembina's company profile on www.sedar.com and in the U.S. under the Company's profile at www.sec.gov.

During the periods in the previous table, Pembina's results were
influenced by the following factors and trends:
-
Increased oil production from customers operating in the Cardium and
Deep Basin Cretaceous formations of west central Alberta, which has
resulted in increased service offerings in these areas, as well as new
connections and capacity expansions;
-
Increased liquids-rich natural gas production from producers in the WCBS
(Deep Basin, Montney and emerging Duvernay Shale plays), which has
resulted in increased gas gathering and processing at the Company's Gas
Services assets and additional associated NGL transported on its
pipelines;
-
Improved propane industry fundamentals in Canada and North America;
-
The Acquisition, which closed on April 2, 2012 (see Note 4 of the
Interim Financial Statements).
-
Increased shares outstanding due to: the Acquisition; the DRIP; and, the
bought deal equity financing in the first quarter of 2013.

consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may
only be relevant in certain periods.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA")
EBITDA is commonly used by Management, investors and creditors in the
calculation of ratios for assessing leverage and financial performance
and is calculated as results from operating activities plus share of
profit from equity accounted investees (before tax) plus depreciation
and amortization (included in operations and general and administrative
expense) and unrealized gains or losses on commodity-related derivative
financial instruments.
Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding acquisition-related expenses in
connection with the Acquisition.

Total enterprise value
Total enterprise value, in combination with other measures, is used by
Management and the investment community to assess the overall market
value of the business. Total enterprise value is calculated based on
the market value of common shares, preferred shares and convertible
debentures at a specific date plus senior debt.
Management believes these supplemental Non-GAAP measures facilitate the
understanding of Pembina's results from operations, leverage, liquidity
and financial positions. Investors should be cautioned that net
revenue, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash flow from operating
activities, operating margin and total enterprise value should not be
construed as alternatives to net earnings, cash flow from operating
activities or other measures of financial results determined in
accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Pembina's performance.
Furthermore, these Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar
measures presented by other issuers.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") is an energy
transportation and service provider domiciled in Canada. The condensed
consolidated unaudited interim financial statements ("Interim Financial
Statements") include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary
companies, partnerships and any interests in associates and jointly
controlled entities as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
These Interim Financial Statements and the notes thereto have been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. They
do not include all of the information required for full annual
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year
ended December 31, 2012. The interim financial statements were
authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 9, 2013.
Pembina owns or has interests in pipelines that transport conventional
crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids ("NGL"), oil sands and
heavy oil pipelines, gas gathering and processing facilities, and an
NGL infrastructure and logistics business. Facilities are located in
Canada and in the U.S. Pembina also offers midstream services that span
across its operations.
The comparative statement of financial position as at December 31, 2012
was reclassified to present deferred tax assets of $7.7 million from
one tax jurisdiction separate from deferred tax liabilities of another
tax jurisdiction.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies are set out in the December 31, 2012 financial
statements. Those policies have been applied consistently to all
periods presented in these Interim Financial Statements.
New standards
The following new standards, interpretations, amendments and
improvements to existing standards issued by the International
Accounting Standard Board or International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee were adopted as of January 1, 2013 without
any material impact to Pembina's Financial Statements: IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in Other Entities, IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, and IAS 19 Employee Future Benefits.
3. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
A number of the Company'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 following methods.
When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in
determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that
asset or liability.
i) Property, plant and equipment
The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognized as a result
of a business combination is based on market values when available and
depreciated replacement cost when appropriate. Depreciated replacement
cost reflects adjustments for physical deterioration as well as
functional and economic obsolescence.
ii) Intangible assets
The fair value of intangible assets acquired in a business combination
is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, whereby
the subject asset is valued after deducting a fair return on all other
assets that are part of creating the related cash flows.
The fair value of other intangible assets is based on the discounted
cash flows expected to be derived from the use and eventual sale of the
assets.
iii) Derivatives
Fair value of derivatives, with the exception of the redemption
liability which is related to the acquisition of the Company's
subsidiary, are estimated by reference to independent monthly forward
settlement prices, interest rate yield curves, currency rates, quoted
market prices per share and volatility rates at the period ends.
The redemption liability related to one of the Company's subsidiaries
represents a put option, held by the non-controlling interest, to sell
the remaining one-third of the business to the Company after the third
anniversary of the acquisition date (October 3, 2014). The put price to
be paid by the Company for the residual interest upon exercise is based
on a multiple of the subsidiary's earnings during the three year period
prior to exercise, adjusted for associated capital expenditures and
debt based on management estimates (see Note 11 "Financial Instruments
and Financial Risk Management").
Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include
adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Company entity
and counterparty when appropriate.
iv) Non-derivative financial assets and liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated
based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows,
discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. In
respect of the convertible debentures, the fair value is determined by
the market price of the convertible debenture on the reporting date.
For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by
reference to similar lease agreements. For disclosure purposes,
carrying value is a reasonable approximation for fair value for cash
and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other, trade payables and
accrued liabilities, finance lease liabilities and dividends payable.
v) Share-based payment transactions
The fair value of the employee share options is measured using the
Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include share price on
measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility
(based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes
expected due to publicly available information), weighted average
expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and
general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, expected
forfeitures and the risk-free interest rate (based on government
bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the
transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.
The fair value of the long-term share unit award incentive plan and
associated distribution units are measured based on the reporting date
market price of the Company's shares. Expected dividends are not taken
into account in determining fair value as they are issued as additional
distribution share units.
4. ACQUISITION
On April 2, 2012, Pembina acquired all of the outstanding Provident
Energy Ltd. ("Provident") common shares in exchange for 116,535,750

The Company applied a 2 percent inflation rate per annum (December 31,

2012: 2.36 percent) to calculate the present value of the
decommissioning provision. The remeasured decommissioning provision
decreased property, plant and equipment and decommissioning provision
liability. Of the re-measurement reduction of the decommissioning
provision, $20.9 million was in excess of the carrying amount of the
related asset and is recognized as a credit to depreciation expense.

The basis for determining fair values is disclosed in Note 3.
Fair value hierarchy
The fair value of financial instruments carried at fair value is
classified according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of
observable inputs used to value the instruments.
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities as the reporting date. Pembina uses
Level 1 inputs for the disclosed fair value measurements of the
convertible debentures.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 2 valuations
are based on inputs, including 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
commodities, future power contracts, interest rates and foreign
exchange rates from information sources including banks, Bloomberg
Terminals and Natural Gas Exchange (NGX). With the exception of one
item described under Level 3, all of Pembina's financial instruments
carried at fair value are valued using Level 2 inputs.
Level 3: Valuations in this level require the most significant judgments
and consist primarily of unobservable or non-market based inputs. Level
3 inputs include longer-term transactions, transactions in less active
markets or transactions at locations for which pricing information is
not available. In these instances, internally developed methodologies
are used to determine fair value. The redemption liability related to
acquisition of subsidiary is classified as a Level 3 instrument, as the
fair value is determined by using inputs that are not based on
observable market data. The liability represents a put option, held by
the non-controlling interest of Three Star Trucking Ltd. ("Three
Star"), to sell the remaining one-third of the business to Pembina
after the third anniversary of the original acquisition date (October
3, 2014). The put price to be paid by the Company for the residual
interest upon exercise is based on a multiple of Three Star's earnings
during the three year period prior to exercise, adjusted for associated
capital expenditures and debt based on management estimates. These
estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the
financial statements of future periods could be material.
