Enbridge Inc. (“Enbridge” or “the Company”) (ENB) (ENB) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.53 per common share, payable on March 1, 2016 to shareholders of record on February 16, 2016. The dividend reflects a 14 percent increase from the prior quarterly rate, marking the twenty-first consecutive year of increased dividends for the Company.

“The core of our shareholder value proposition is our reliable business model, which continues to deliver strong and predictable results and dividend growth,” said Al Monaco, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The 14 percent dividend increase reflects the confidence we have in our outlook, underpinned by the strength of our businesses, an industry leading growth program and our sound financial position. Over the last two years, we have increased our dividend by over 50 percent while maintaining strong available cash flow coverage.”

Enbridge also announced a guidance range for 2016 available cash flow from operations (“ACFFO”) per share of $3.80 to $4.50. The growth in the Company’s ACFFO per share guidance range for 2016 reflects growth from its existing businesses and the successful execution of its capital program. This includes projects brought on in 2015 such as the Mainline Expansion Program, the Edmonton-to-Hardisty Pipeline, the Line 9 Reversal and the Woodland Pipeline Expansion. In addition, the Company provided a guidance range for 2016 Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (“EBIT”) of $4.4 billion to $4.8 billion enterprise-wide.

Mr. Monaco continued, “We are entering 2016 well positioned to execute on our five-year strategic plan. Our plan includes a $38 billion growth program, $25 billion of which is commercially secured and in execution. It is expected to generate compound average annual ACFFO per share growth of 15 to18 percent through 2019 and annual average dividend per share growth of 14 to 16 percent.”

“In this challenging commodity price environment, we remain focused on reliable and safe operations, which, together with disciplined cost management and providing access to the best markets, ensures cost effective transportation for our customers. Looking forward, we are positive on the strong longer-term energy fundamentals supporting each of our businesses, which provide significant opportunities to both extend and diversify growth well beyond 2019.”
