NON-GAAP MEASURES

This presentation contains references to certain financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by US GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to US GAAP financial measures are shown in AltaGas' Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) as at and for the period ended September 30, 2021. These non-GAAP measures provide additional information that management believes is meaningful

regarding AltaGas' operational performance, liquidity and capacity to fund dividends, capital expenditures, and other investing activities. Readers are cautioned that these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as alternatives to other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with US GAAP.​

EBITDA is a measure of AltaGas' operating profitability prior to how business activities are financed, assets are amortized, or earnings are taxed. EBITDA is calculated from the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) using net income (loss) adjusted for pre-tax depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax expense (recovery). Normalized EBITDA includes additional adjustments for transaction costs related to acquisitions and dispositions, unrealized losses (gains) on risk management contracts, gains on investments, gains on sale of assets, restructuring costs, dilution loss on equity investment, COVID-19 related costs, provisions (reversal of provisions) on assets, provisions on investments accounted for by the equity method, foreign exchange gains, and accretion expenses related to asset retirement obligations. AltaGas presents normalized EBITDA as a supplemental measure. Normalized EBITDA is used by Management to enhance the understanding of AltaGas' earnings over periods. The metric is frequently used by analysts and investors in the evaluation of entities within the industry as it excludes items that can vary substantially between entities depending on the accounting policies chosen, the book value of assets, and the capital structure.

Normalized earnings per share is calculated with reference to normalized net income divided by the average number of shares outstanding during the period. Normalized net income is calculated from the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) using net income (loss) applicable to common shares adjusted for transaction costs related to acquisitions and dispositions, unrealized losses (gains) on risk management contracts, non-controlling interest portion of non-GAAP adjustments, gains on investments, gains on sale of assets, provisions on assets, restructuring costs, dilution loss on equity investment, COVID-19 related costs, and provisions on investments accounted for by the equity method. Normalized net income per share is used by Management to enhance the comparability of AltaGas' earnings, as these metrics reflect the underlying performance of AltaGas' business activities. Funds from operations is calculated from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and is defined as cash from operations before net changes in operating assets and liabilities and expenditures incurred to settle asset retirement obligations. Normalized funds from operations is calculated based on cash from operations and adjusted for changes in operating assets and liabilities in the period and non-operating related expenses (net of current taxes) such as transaction and financing costs related to acquisitions and dispositions, COVID-19 related costs, and restructuring costs. Normalized funds from operations is used to assist Management and investors in analyzing the liquidity of the Corporation. Management uses this measure to understand the ability to generate funds for capital investments, debt repayment, dividend payments, and other investing activities.

Net debt is used by the Corporation to monitor its capital structure and financing requirements. It is also used as a measure of the Corporation's overall financial strength and is presented to provide this perspective to analysts and investors. Net debt is defined as short- term debt (excluding third-party project financing obtained for the construction of certain energy management services projects), plus current and long-term portions of long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents.

Key Highlights:

Strong Third Quarter Results Driving Better Outcomes for all Stakeholders

  • Normalized FFO per share1 of $0.61 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $0.40 in the third quarter of 2020, representing 53% year-over-year growth and continues to provide the foundation for increased returns of capital to shareholders and to fund ongoing organic expansion.
  • Normalized EPS1 of $0.02 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $0.04 in the third quarter of 2020 and positions AltaGas well to deliver on 2021 financial guidance.
  • Normalized EBITDA1 of $244 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $213 million in third quarter of 2020, representing 15% year-over-year growth. Results reflected strong execution across the platform, particularly within the Midstream segment which demonstrated robust growth across the business.
  • Midstream normalized EBITDA of $186 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $114 million in the third quarter of 2020, representing a 63% year-over-year increase. Performance included record global export volumes of liquified petroleum gases (LPGs) that averaged approximately 105,000 Bbls/d to Asia, an 11% year-over-year increase in gathering and processing volumes, and a 15% year-over-year increase in fractionation and liquids handling volumes.
  • Utilities normalized EBITDA of $62 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $80 million in the third quarter of 2020. The largest factors behind the year-over-year decrease were the one-time pension accounting adjustment in the third quarter of 2020 and the unfavourable impact of the CAD/USD exchange rate, partially offset by continued Accelerated Pipeline Replacement (ARP) investments and the impact of the Maryland and D.C. rate cases.
  • Washington Gas received approval from the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) to support the Piscataway Bioenergy Project, which is AltaGas' first renewable natural gas (RNG) project in partnership with the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC Water) to transform biowaste into renewable energy.
  • Subsequent to quarter-end, AltaGas filed an application with the Canada Energy Regulator for a 25-year butane export license for 40,000 Bbls/d. The application is a proactive step to ensure AltaGas and its partners are positioned to continue to connect the growing LPG production volumes from Western Canada that exceed local demand to global markets, which benefits its upstream and downstream customers.
