Segment Performance

The partnership has completed its restructuring and has now transitioned into a pure play liquids pipeline business.

Liquids: Adjusted operating income in the Liquids segment decreased to $268.3 million from $330.8 million over the comparable period in 2016. The downside was due to lower transportation rates attributable to sale of Ozark Pipeline system. Reduced short-haul transportation volumes due to the expiration of the Phase 5 and Phase 6 expansion surcharges of the Berthold rail loading facility on the North Dakota system was another factor behind the decline. This was partially offset by increased revenue on the Lakehead system.

Other: This unit reported adjusted loss of $4.8 million, wider than the loss of $2 million in the comparable period in 2016.

Distribution

Enbridge declared a quarterly cash distribution of 35 cents per unit, or $1.40 per unit on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2016. The distribution is payable on Aug 14 to unitholders of record at the close of business on Aug 7.
