Stock futures are little changed as traders weigh Trump's new 100% tariff on chips: Live updates
Jeenah Moon | Reuters
Stock futures are little changed Wednesday night after President Donald Trump announced a new steep tariff on imports of semiconductors and chips.
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 59 points, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures each dipped about 0.1%.
Trump announced late Wednesday that there would be a 100% tariff on imported chips, but not for companies that are "building in the United States."
News of the levy comes after Apple announced a plan to spend an additional $100 billion on U.S. companies and suppliers over the next four years. That's on top of a $500 billion announcement Apple made in February.
"We're going to be putting a very large tariff on chips and semiconductors," Trump said in the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon. "But the good news for companies like Apple is if you're building in the United States or have committed to build, without question, committed to build in the United States, there will be no charge."
Stocks are coming off of a positive session, aided by a 5% jump in Apple on Wednesday. The S&P 500 ended Wednesday about 0.7% higher, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.2%. The 30-stock Dow gained about 81 points, or 0.2%.
Traders continued to monitor tariff developments and quarterly financial results, which have mostly beaten analysts' expectations, according to FactSet.
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on India, bringing total U.S. levies on the major trading partner to 50%. The president said the hike is because India continues to buy Russian oil, a sign that he is following through on his threats to punish Russia's trade partners unless a Ukraine peace deal is reached by September.
Week to date, the S&P 500 has gained 1.7% and the Nasdaq has added 2.5%. The 30-stock Dow has advanced 1.4%. Prior to Wednesday's modest gains, the S&P 500 had notched five losing sessions over the past six trading days, and the Dow had had six negative days in the past seven.
Kristian Kerr, head of macro strategy at LPL Financial, noted that market volatility has dramatically declined since early April during the height of tariff tensions.
"Volatility across major asset classes is currently sitting at unusually low levels," Kerr said in a note. "Equities have also followed suit, with one-month realized volatility in some of the indexes falling to levels not seen since June of last year."
On Thursday, traders will watch for weekly jobless claims data, as well as releases on unit labor costs and productivity for the second quarter.

Trump nominates CEA chair Stephen Miran to Federal Reserve Board
President Trump said Thursday that he would nominate Stephen Miran, current chair of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Miran will replace outgoing governor Adriana Kugler, who is set to step down on Friday. Miran's term will run until Jan. 31, 2026. "It is my Great Honor to announce that I have chosen Dr. Stephen Miran, current Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, to serve in the just vacated seat on the Federal Reserve Board until January 31, 2026," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "In the meantime, we will continue to search for a permanent replacement," Trump continued. "Stephen has a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University, and served with distinction in my First Administration. He has been with me from the beginning of my Second Term, and his expertise in the World of Economics is unparalleled — He will do an outstanding job. Congratulations Stephen!" Miran served as an adviser of economic policy for the Treasury Department during Steven Mnuchin's tenure as Treasury Secretary during Trump's first administration. He was also a senior strategist at Hudson Bay Capital Management. Miran is credited as being one of the authors of Trump's tariff policy and a key architect of his economic agenda. He has also been linked with the push for a so-called Mar-a-Lago currency accord, based on a paper he wrote laying out various strategies for rebalancing US trade while working in the private sector. Kugler unexpectedly announced last week that she would step down from the Fed's Board of Governors, just under six months before her term was set to expire on Jan. 31, 2026. Kugler, who has served as a Fed governor since Sept. 13, 2023, will return to Georgetown University as a professor this fall. Miran's appointment will add not only a Trump administration official onto the Fed board, but also likely another member who is in favor of the central bank cutting interest rates as soon as its September policy meeting. Last week, Fed governors Chris Waller and Michelle Bowman both voted against the Fed's decision to keep interest rates unchanged in a range of 4.25%-4.50%. Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist for Capital Economics, said the president's decision to nominate Miran is a "welcome surprise," noting that while he doesn't always agree with Miran he is a "good pick" who should easily be confirmed by the Senate. Miran's confirmation is pending Senate approval, but with lawmakers currently on August recess, it's unclear how long that could take. The nomination hearing will be a priority for the Senate Banking Committee, but lawmakers aren't due back in session until September 9, which is just one week before the Fed's policy meeting on September 16 and 17. The tight timeline makes it unlikely Miran could be confirmed and sworn in by the meeting. Senator Tim Scott, chair of the Senate Banking Committee, called Miran "an accomplished economist" and said that he "looks forward to quickly considering his nomination in the Senate Banking Committee." While Miran is set to be on the Fed's board for only a few months, investors will be looking for any clues about what his nomination means for the president's eventual nomination for the next Fed Chair and his intentions for influencing monetary policy. President Trump will need to nominate someone to the Fed Board of Governors for a full 14-year term once the short-term Fed Governor position's term is up on January 31 next year. If Miran performs to Trump's liking it's possible he could be re-nominated to a full 14-year term. The president said he's narrowed down his choice for the next Fed Chair to three individuals. Bloomberg reported earlier on Thursday that Waller is emerging as the favorite to replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair among Trump's advisers. The president said he also favors former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh and current Director of the president's National Economic Council Kevin Hassett. Warsh has experience navigating the central bank as he served as a Fed governor from 2006 until 2011 and acted as former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke's liaison to Wall Street during the chaos of the 2008 financial crisis. Warsh is also a known figure to Trump, who interviewed him for the Fed chair post eight years ago before deciding to nominate Powell. Warsh has been critical of the Fed of late, saying that the central bank needs a regime change and that it's not just about the chairman, but a range of people. He's argued on Fox Business last month that the costs involved in renovating the Fed's headquarters represent one of several examples of how the Fed "has lost its way" and that the American people "need a reformer to fix" the institution and rebuild its credibility. When it comes to policy, Warsh has suggested that the Fed could look past inflation related to tariffs because they'd be a one-time increase. Hassett, meanwhile, already has a close relationship with Trump, given that he advises the president on economic policy and served in the first Trump administration. Hassett has said there's no reason why the Fed shouldn't cut rates now, something the president has repeatedly hammered the central bank to do. He has indicated he would accept the job of Fed Chair if Trump chooses him. This week he accused the central bank of injecting politics into its decision making during an appearance on Fox Business. Similar to Warsh, Hassett suggested Fed leadership has lost its way, noting that 'the job of the leadership is to drive a nonpartisan consensus of the board, and that's not what we're seeing right now.' He said the Fed board 'is going to have to change,' and that he favors going back to the era of Alan Greenspan— where the Fed chair had a large influence over policy decisions. 'The board is going to have to go back to the kind of … Alan Greenspan approach of driving consensus, having healthy debate,' said Hassett. The White House also hopes that Powell will decide to leave the Fed Board of Governors when his chairmanship is up next year in May 2026. That would open up a second seat that Trump can fill. Powell has not yet said whether he intends to do that; his term as a Fed governor is not up until 2028. If Powell does not vacate his seat, the open governor's seat could be the only opportunity the president has to put his stamp on a fresh face for Fed Chair.

Pembina Pipeline Corporation Reports Results for the Second Quarter of 2025 and Provides Business Update
All financial figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. 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 net revenue; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"); adjusted cash flow from operating activities; and adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share. For more information see "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" herein. CALGARY, Alberta, August 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the "Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) announced today its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2025. Highlights Quarterly Results - Reported second quarter earnings of $417 million, adjusted EBITDA of $1,013 million, and adjusted cash flow from operating activities of $698 million ($1.20 per share). Adjusted EBITDA Guidance - Pembina has updated its 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $4.225 billion to $4.425 billion. Enhanced Propane Exports - Through a new commercial agreement and a newly sanctioned project, Pembina will have access to 50,000 barrels per day ("bpd") of highly competitive propane export capacity. Pembina has approved a $145 million optimization of its 20,000 bpd Prince Rupert Terminal ("PRT") that will expand market access and significantly reduce shipping costs per unit, thereby improving netbacks for Pembina and its customers. In addition, Pembina has entered into a long-term tolling agreement with AltaGas Ltd. ("AltaGas") for 30,000 bpd of liquified petroleum gases ("LPG") export capacity at AltaGas' current Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal ("RIPET") and future Ridley Island Energy Export Facility ("REEF"). PGI Duvernay Acquisition and New Commercial Agreements - Pembina Gas Infrastructure ("PGI") has acquired the remaining 8.33 percent interest in three gas processing trains and related infrastructure at PGI's Duvernay Complex from Whitecap Resources Inc. ("Whitecap") for $55 million ($33 million net to Pembina) and concurrently entered into new and extended long-term take-or-pay agreements at the Duvernay Complex and KA Plant. In addition, PGI has entered into an agreement with a Montney producer to fund and acquire an under-construction battery and additional infrastructure for a capital commitment up to $150 million ($90 million net to Pembina), which will be supported by a new long-term take-or-pay agreement. Advancing NGL and Condensate Pipeline Expansions - Pembina continues to advance more than $1 billion of proposed conventional pipeline expansions to reliably and cost-effectively meet rising transportation demands from growing production in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB"). These expansions are secured by long-term contracts underpinned by take-or-pay agreements, areas of dedication across the Montney and Duvernay formations, and other long-term agreements that ensure a strong base of committed volumes. Final investment decisions ("FID") on the Fox Creek-to-Namao Expansion and the Taylor-to-Gordondale Project are now expected by the end of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, respectively. Cedar LNG Project Milestone - Pembina and its partner, the Haisla Nation, recently celebrated the achievement of a major milestone for the project as construction of the floating LNG vessel began with steel cutting on both the top side facilities and the vessel hull. RFS IV - Furthering Pembina's track record of industry-leading project execution, RFS IV is trending under budget with an anticipated cost of $500 million, approximately five percent below the previous cost estimate. Capital Guidance - Pembina has revised its outlook for its 2025 capital investment program to $1.3 billion, reflecting continued progression of proposed conventional pipeline expansions to serve growing customer demand, approval of new projects, and acquisitions at PGI.

For further details on the Company's significant assets, including definitions for capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined, refer to Pembina's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024, and Pembina's Management's Discussion and Analysis dated August 7, 2025 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, filed at (filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at under Form 40-F) and on Pembina's website at Executive Overview and Business Update 2025 Guidance Based on results through the first half of 2025 and the outlook for the remainder of the year, Pembina has updated its 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $4.225 billion to $4.425 billion (previously $4.2 billion to $4.5 billion). Further, due to seasonal and asset specific factors, Pembina expects third quarter results to be largely consistent with second quarter results, with stronger results expected in the fourth quarter. In addition to the year-to-date results, the 2025 guidance range reflects the following: Pembina continues to benefit from rising utilization throughout its conventional pipeline and gas processing assets that aligns with volume growth across the WCSB. However, in 2025, revenue volume growth at these assets is expected to be lower than physical volume growth as customers expand into their contractual take-or-pay commitments; typical seasonality positively impacting Alliance in the fourth quarter due to the ability to transport higher volumes during colder periods, offset by the impact of the previously announced settlement agreement with shippers; higher integrity and geotechnical costs on the conventional pipeline assets in the third and fourth quarters, relative to the first half of the year; a higher contribution from PGI in the second half of 2025, compared to the first half of the year, including at the Dawson Assets, due to third-party restrictions impacting the first half of the year and the start-up of LNG Canada benefiting the second half of the year, and at the Duvernay Complex due to higher second half volumes; and stronger fourth quarter contribution from the natural gas liquids ("NGL") marketing business, relative to the second and third quarters, due to typical seasonality of the WCSB frac spread business. Business Fundamentals Remain Strong Given the relative strength of the WCSB plays, combined with other recent and emerging developments, Pembina maintains its outlook for low to mid-single digit annual volume growth through the end of the decade across all WCSB products. Strong Economics and Long Inventory Lives - the Montney formation is expected to be one of the primary drivers of WCSB growth and has among the lowest supply costs in North America. Additionally, top tier oil sands producers demonstrate break-even costs that are in line with top performing U.S. shale plays, and are expected to continue pursuing debottleneck expansions that, in addition to increasing oil production, would drive increased demand for condensate. Further, these plays have some of the longest Tier 1 inventory lives in North America, at greater than 20 years assuming WTI oil prices of US$50. Producer Resilience - Canadian producers are proving resilient despite volatility in commodity prices and the broader economy and Pembina has observed that its customers' development plans remain on track. Further, ongoing consolidation of upstream producers continues to support greater efficiency, more competitive platforms, and stronger counterparties, which Pembina believes leads to more sustainable production growth. New Egress - The recent start-up of LNG Canada, the future Cedar LNG Project and other currently approved LNG projects, are expected to contribute to natural gas production growth of approximately five billion cubic feet per day and NGL production growth of approximately 250,000 bpd by 2030. Growing Alberta regional gas demand, including to power potential data centres, as well as new petrochemical facilities and new or expanded NGL export facilities are all expected to further contribute to natural gas and NGL production growth. Finally, Pembina estimates that up to 600,000 bpd of new oil egress could come from brownfield expansions of existing oil pipelines by 2030, further supporting oil production growth and associated condensate demand. Supportive Policy Environment - Pembina has observed a shift in tone from policy makers which could positively impact how the Canadian energy industry evolves. At the federal level, in particular with support from Bill C-5 One Canadian Economy Act, there is momentum building towards reshaping Canada's energy strategy in a way that could unlock Canada's abundant and diverse energy resources. At the provincial level, the Alberta government continues to be supportive of conventional energy development, encourage federal regulatory reform, and create a constructive investment environment for energy-related industries, including petrochemicals and data centres. Pembina's Differentiated Business is Built to Lead Pembina is the only Canadian energy infrastructure company with an integrated value chain providing a full suite of midstream and transportation services across all commodities - natural gas, NGL (ethane, propane and butane), condensate, and crude oil. Additionally, Pembina's scope, scale, and access to premium North American and global markets, differentiate the Company and uniquely position it to capture incremental new volumes in the WCSB, while unlocking new avenues for sustainable growth beyond its strong legacy businesses. Pembina believes it has captured significant future WCSB growth through recent recontracting successes and long-term dedications across high growth areas such as the northeast British Columbia and Alberta Montney, and Duvernay formations. Through strategic investments, long-term partnerships, and premier infrastructure, Pembina is demonstrating it is the clear choice for producers looking to process, move, fractionate, and export their products. Supported by the following recent developments and current and proposed future projects, Pembina is confident in its ability to maintain and grow its position in the rapidly developing WCSB: Strengthening Pembina's Propane Export Capabilities Through a new commercial agreement and a newly sanctioned project, Pembina will have access to 50,000 bpd of highly competitive export capacity to premium price markets, including in Asia, for its own and customers' propane. Pembina has approved an optimization of the PRT facility (the "PRT Optimization"), primarily through increasing storage capacity, that will allow PRT to accommodate Medium Gas Carrier vessels. The PRT Optimization is expected to expand access to additional markets with higher realized propane prices, while significantly reducing shipping costs per unit, thereby improving netbacks for Pembina and its customers. This project strengthens Pembina's position as a key propane exporter from Canada's West Coast, ensures the long-term competitiveness of PRT through efficiencies and margin enhancement, and is an example of supporting incremental value creation for Canadian energy products without the need for a major capital expansion. The PRT Optimization is expected to cost $145 million with an in-service date in mid-2028. As previously disclosed, Pembina has also entered into a long-term tolling agreement with AltaGas for 30,000 bpd of LPG export capacity at AltaGas' current RIPET and future REEF facilities. Under the agreement, Pembina will have export capacity of 20,000 bpd starting in April 2026, and an additional 10,000 bpd starting in April 2027. This agreement ensures a highly competitive export outlet that further enhances market diversification for Pembina and its customers. Partner of Choice Pembina and PGI continue to strengthen their relationships with leading WCSB producers and develop mutually beneficial solutions that support growing production while providing PGI with take-or-pay commitments that ensure the long-term utilization of its assets. Effective June 30, 2025, PGI acquired, from Whitecap, the remaining 8.33 percent interest in three gas processing trains and a sales gas pipeline (the "Duvernay Assets") at PGI's Duvernay Complex for a total purchase price of $55 million ($33 million net to Pembina). Concurrent with the purchase and sale of the Duvernay Assets, Whitecap has entered into a long-term take-or-pay commitment for firm service at the Duvernay Complex and extended long-term take-or-pay agreements previously in place at PGI's KA Plant. PGI has entered into an agreement with a Montney producer to fund and acquire an under-construction battery and additional infrastructure (the "North Gold Creek Battery") in the Wapiti/North Gold Creek Montney area for a capital commitment up to $150 million ($90 million net to Pembina). The project enhances PGI's footprint in the Wapiti region, connecting directly into PGI's existing Wapiti Gas Plant. The North Gold Creek Battery will be operated by the producer and highly contracted under a long-term, take-or-pay agreement. The expected in-service date of the North Gold Creek Battery is the second quarter of 2026. Growing Demand for Transportation Service Pembina continues to advance more than $1 billion of conventional NGL and condensate pipeline expansions to reliably and cost-effectively meet rising transportation demand from growing production in the WCSB. Pembina's outlook for volume growth is secured by long-term contracts underpinned by take-or-pay agreements, areas of dedication across the Montney and Duvernay formations, and other long-term agreements that ensure a strong base of committed volumes. Taylor-to-Gordondale Project - a new approximately 89 kilometer, 16-inch pipeline proposed by Pouce Coupé Pipe Line Ltd. (a subsidiary of Pembina) connecting mostly condensate volumes from Taylor, British Columbia to the Gordondale, Alberta area. Engineering activities are continuing and subject to regulatory and board approval, Pembina expects to move forward with this expansion. A FID is anticipated in the first quarter of 2026. Fox Creek-to-Namao Expansion - an expansion of the Peace Pipeline system that through the addition of new pump stations would add approximately 70,000 bpd of propane-plus capacity to the market delivery pipelines from Fox Creek, Alberta to Namao, Alberta. Engineering and regulatory activities are progressing and subject to regulatory and board approval, Pembina expects to move forward with this expansion. A FID is expected by the end of 2025. Pembina is also evaluating and engineering further expansions to support volume growth in northeast British Columbia, including new pipelines and terminal upgrades. Cedar LNG Milestone Reached The US$4 billion (gross) Cedar LNG Project continues to progress according to plan and remains on budget and on time with an expected in-service date in late 2028. Pembina and its partner, the Haisla Nation, recently celebrated the achievement of a major milestone for the project as construction of the floating LNG vessel began with steel cutting on both the top side facilities and the vessel hull. Onshore activities are continuing and marine terminal clearing, drainage, and erosion and sediment control work have been completed. Additionally, pipeline right of way clearing and road upgrades have been completed, and pipeline access and grading construction are progressing as planned. Pembina continues to progress remarketing of its 1.5 million tonnes per annum of Cedar LNG Project capacity to third parties. The market for LNG supply on the West Coast of North America remains strong. Pembina is advancing definitive agreement negotiations with an expectation to finalize these efforts by the end of 2025. Leading Ethane Supplier Within Pembina's fully integrated, all-commodity value chain, its ethane-plus NGL business stands out and ensures Pembina is well positioned to build upon its position as the leading supplier of ethane to a growing Alberta petrochemical industry. Pembina is working closely with Dow Chemicals Canada ("Dow") following their recent announcement of a delay in construction of their Path2Zero petrochemical project and is evaluating the various options available to meet its commitment under the mutually binding 50,000 bpd ethane supply agreement with Dow. Pembina is seeking to fulfill its commitment in the most capital efficient manner possible and achieve maximum benefit for both parties. Engineering and commercial discussions are ongoing related to the addition of a de-ethanizer tower at RFS III within the Redwater Complex and a FID is anticipated by the end of 2025. Supporting a Potential New Alberta-based Data Centre Industry Pembina continues to advance opportunities to provide integrated solutions in support of an emerging Alberta-based data centre industry, while leveraging its existing and future value chain. Greenlight Electricity Centre Limited Partnership ("Greenlight"), a partnership between Pembina and Kineticor, an OPTrust portfolio company, is developing an up to 1,800 MW gas-fired combined cycle power generation facility (the "Greenlight Electricity Centre"). Greenlight is in active discussions with a data center customer to commercially underpin the project. Greenlight also successfully advanced through Phase 1 of the Alberta Electric System Operator allocation process and through subsequent commercial efforts has secured a sufficient megawatt allocation to achieve a viable scale for this addition to the opportunity to invest in long-term contracted power infrastructure with investment grade counterparties, Pembina is well positioned to leverage its existing and future value chain to further support this project. The proximity of Alliance Pipeline offers a potential accretive expansion opportunity to provide significant natural gas supply to the Greenlight Electricity Centre, and the potential future development of the Alberta Carbon Grid may provide a future emissions reduction solution. Industry-Leading Capital Execution Pembina continues to demonstrate its ability to deliver capital projects that provide strong returns and a competitive service offering. Furthering its track record of industry-leading project execution, Pembina is pleased that the RFS IV project is trending approximately five percent under the previous cost estimate with a revised expected total cost of approximately $500 million. Engineering, procurement, and fabrication are substantially complete, while field construction has progressed to approximately 50 percent complete. Pembina continues to expect RFS IV to be in service on time in the first half of 2026. On a cost per barrel of capacity basis, Pembina is on track to deliver its expansion 15-20 percent lower than competing projects currently underway, highlighting Pembina's advantaged service offering. 2025 Capital Investment Based on progress on a number of key core business initiatives, as well as two tuck-in acquisitions at PGI, Pembina has revised its outlook for the Company's 2025 capital investment program, including capital expenditures and contributions to equity accounted investees, to $1.3 billion (previously $1.1 billion). The revised 2025 capital program reflects continued progression of proposed conventional pipeline expansions, approval of the PRT Optimization, and higher contributions to PGI, primarily related to PGI's acquisition of the remaining interest in the Duvernay Assets and funding of the North Gold Creek Battery. Financial & Operational Highlights Adjusted EBITDA Pembina reported quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $1,013 million in the second quarter, representing a $78 million or seven percent decrease over the same period in the prior year. Pipelines reported adjusted EBITDA of $646 million for the second quarter, representing a $9 million or one percent decrease compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting the net impact of the following factors: lower firm tolls on the Cochin Pipeline, due to recontracting in July 2024; lower revenue at the Edmonton Terminals largely related to the decommissioning of the Edmonton South Rail Terminal in the second quarter of 2024; lower interruptible volumes and lower tolls on the Vantage Pipeline; higher volumes on Peace Pipeline system due to higher contracted volumes and fewer outages compared to the prior period, which was impacted by planned outages related to the Phase VIII Peace Pipeline Expansion; higher revenue on the Peace Pipeline system due to increased tolls mainly related to contractual inflation adjustments; higher demand on seasonal contracts on Alliance; and higher contracted volumes on the Nipisi Pipeline. Facilities reported adjusted EBITDA of $331 million for the second quarter, representing a $9 million or three percent decrease over the same period in the prior year, reflecting the net impact of the following factors: lower volumes due to planned outages at certain PGI assets and on-going third-party restrictions impacting the Dawson assets; and higher contribution from PGI, primarily related to recent transactions with Whitecap. Marketing & New Ventures reported adjusted EBITDA of $74 million for the second quarter, representing a $69 million or 48 percent decrease compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting the net impact of the following factors: lower net revenue due to a decrease in NGL margins as a result of lower butane and propane prices, coupled with lower volumes resulting from third-party restrictions at the Channahon Facility and planned outages at both the Channahon Facility and Redwater Complex, as well as higher input natural gas prices at Aux Sable; and lower realized gains on crude oil-based derivatives, partially offset by lower realized losses on NGL-based derivatives. Corporate reported adjusted EBITDA of negative $38 million for the second quarter, representing a $9 million or 19 percent increase compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily reflecting lower long-term incentive costs, driven by the change in Pembina's share price in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024. Earnings Pembina reported second quarter earnings of $417 million, representing a $62 million or 13 percent decrease over the same period in the prior year. Pipelines had earnings in the second quarter of $473 million, representing a $12 million or two percent decrease over the prior period. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors impacting adjusted EBITDA, as noted above. Facilities had earnings in the second quarter of $142 million, representing a $39 million or 22 percent decrease over the prior period. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted EBITDA, as noted above, the change in earnings was due to costs associated with an asset retirement at the Redwater Complex and lower share of profit from PGI. The lower share of profit from PGI was primarily driven by higher depreciation expense and unrealized losses on commodity-related derivatives compared to unrealized gains in the prior period, partially offset by unrealized gains on interest rate derivative financial instruments compared to unrealized losses in the prior period. Marketing & New Ventures had earnings in the second quarter of $114 million, representing a $21 million or 16 percent decrease over the prior period. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted EBITDA, as noted above, the change in earnings was due to lower other income due to no similar gain to that recognized in the second quarter of 2024 related to Pembina's financial assurances assumed by Cedar LNG upon a positive FID. This was partially offset by unrealized gains on commodity related derivatives compared to losses in the second quarter of 2024, as well as an increase in share of profit from Cedar LNG. In addition to the changes in earnings for each division discussed above, the change in the second quarter earnings compared to the prior period was due to lower acquisition and integration costs and lower incentive costs, partially offset by no similar net gain on acquisition to that recognized in the second quarter of 2024. Quarterly Common Share Dividend Pembina's board of directors has declared a common share cash dividend for the third quarter of 2025 of $0.71 per share, to be paid, subject to applicable law, on September 29, 2025, to shareholders of record on September 15, 2025. The common share dividends are designated as "eligible dividends" for Canadian income tax purposes. For non-resident shareholders, Pembina's common share dividends should be considered "qualified dividends" and may be subject to Canadian withholding tax. For shareholders receiving their common share dividends in U.S. funds, the cash dividend is expected to be approximately U.S.$0.5165 per share (before deduction of any applicable Canadian withholding tax) based on a currency exchange rate of 0.7275. The actual U.S. dollar dividend will depend on the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the payment date and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes. Quarterly dividend payments are expected to be made on the last business day of March, June, September and December to shareholders of record on the 15th day of the corresponding month, if, as and when declared by the board of directors. Should the record date fall on a weekend or on a statutory holiday, the record date will be the next succeeding business day following the weekend or statutory holiday.

The exclusion of unrealized gains or losses from derivative instruments eliminates the non-cash impact of such gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments to earnings for non-controlling interest, losses (gains) on disposal of assets, transaction costs incurred in respect of acquisitions, dispositions and restructuring, impairment charges or reversals in respect of goodwill, intangible assets, investments in equity accounted investees and property, plant and equipment, certain non-cash provisions and other amounts not reflective of ongoing operations. These additional adjustments are made to exclude various non-cash and other items that are not reflective of ongoing operations. Following completion of Pembina acquiring a controlling ownership interest in Alliance and Aux Sable on April 1, 2024, Pembina revised the definition of adjusted EBITDA to deduct earnings for the 14.6 percent non-controlling interest in the Aux Sable U.S. operations. Pembina's subsequent acquisition of the remaining interest in Aux Sable's U.S. operations in the third quarter of 2024 resulted in all of Aux Sable's results being included in the adjusted EBITDA calculation beginning on August 1, 2024. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of Pembina's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities and equity accounted investees. Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of operating income generated from capital expenditures, which includes operational finance income and gains from lessor lease arrangements. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing Pembina, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. Management utilizes adjusted EBITDA to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's success. Pembina presents adjusted EBITDA as management believes it is a measure frequently used by analysts, investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the Company's financial performance. The most directly comparable financial measure to adjusted EBITDA that is specified, defined and determined in accordance with GAAP and disclosed in Pembina's financial statements is earnings. 3 Months Ended June 30 Pipelines Facilities Marketing & New Ventures Corporate & Inter-segment Eliminations Total ($ millions, except per share amounts) 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 Earnings (loss) 473 485 142 181 114 135 (196) (828) 417 479 Income tax expense (recovery) — — — — — — — — 116 (506) Adjustments to share of profit (loss) from equity accounted investees 1 — 127 111 (28) 2 — — 100 113 Net finance costs 6 7 3 3 2 1 140 130 151 141 Depreciation and amortization 165 164 59 45 17 17 16 14 257 240 Unrealized (gain) loss from derivative instruments — — — — (31) 45 — — (31) 45 Non-controlling interest(1) — — — — — (10) — — — (10) Loss on acquisition — — — — — — — 616 — 616 Derecognition of insurance contract provision — — — — — (34) — — — (34) Transaction and integration costs in respect of acquisitions — — — — — — 2 14 2 14 Loss (gain) on disposal of assets, other non-cash provisions, and other 1 (1) — — — (13) — 7 1 (7) Adjusted EBITDA 646 655 331 340 74 143 (38) (47) 1,013 1,091 Adjusted EBITDA per common share – basic (dollars) 1.74 1.88 6 Months Ended June 30 Pipelines Facilities Marketing & New Ventures Corporate & Inter-segment Eliminations Total ($ millions, except per share amounts) 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 Earnings (loss) 991 940 326 358 274 199 (419) (995) 919 917 Income tax (recovery) expense — — — — — — — — 253 (415) Adjustments to share of profit from equity accounted investees 2 44 239 211 6 9 — — 247 264 Net finance costs 12 13 6 5 4 3 279 228 301 249 Depreciation and amortization 317 259 104 78 37 32 32 27 490 396 Unrealized (gain) loss from derivative instruments — — — — (40) 147 — — (40) 147 Non-controlling interest(1) — — — — — (10) — — — (10) Loss on acquisition — — — — — — — 616 — 616 Derecognition of insurance contract provision — — — — — (34) — — — (34) Transaction and integration costs in respect of acquisition — — — — — — 4 14 4 14 Loss (gain) on disposal of assets, other non-cash provisions, and other 1 (2) 1 (2) 3 (15) 1 10 6 (9) Adjusted EBITDA 1,323 1,254 676 650 284 331 (103) (100) 2,180 2,135 Adjusted EBITDA per common share – basic (dollars) 3.75 3.78 (1) Presented net of adjusting items. Adjusted EBITDA from Equity Accounted Investees In accordance with IFRS, Pembina's joint ventures are accounted for using equity accounting. Under equity accounting, the assets and liabilities of the investment are presented net in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, "Investments in Equity Accounted Investees". Earnings from investments in equity accounted investees are recognized in a single line item in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income "Share of Profit from Equity Accounted Investees". The adjustments made to earnings, in adjusted EBITDA above, are also made to share of profit from investments in equity accounted investees. Cash contributions and distributions from investments in equity accounted investees represent Pembina's share paid and received in the period to and from the investments in equity accounted investees. To assist in understanding and evaluating the performance of these investments, Pembina is supplementing the IFRS disclosure with non-GAAP proportionate consolidation of Pembina's interest in the investments in equity accounted investees. Pembina's proportionate interest in equity accounted investees has been included in adjusted EBITDA. 3 Months Ended June 30 Pipelines Facilities Marketing & New Ventures Total ($ millions) 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 Share of profit (loss) from equity accounted investees — — 46 63 28 (2) 74 61 Adjustments to share of profit (loss) from equity accounted investees: Net finance costs (income) 1 — 30 42 (28) 2 3 44 Income tax expense — — 15 18 — — 15 18 Depreciation and amortization — — 68 53 — — 68 53 Unrealized loss (gain) on commodity-related derivative financial instruments — — 14 (3) — — 14 (3) Non-cash provisions — — — 1 — — — 1 Total adjustments to share of profit from equity accounted investees 1 — 127 111 (28) 2 100 113 Adjusted EBITDA from equity accounted investees 1 — 173 174 — — 174 174 6 Months Ended June 30 Pipelines Facilities Marketing & New Ventures Total ($ millions) 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 Share of profit (loss) from equity accounted investees 1 43 111 138 (8) 31 104 212 Adjustments to share of profit (loss) from equity accounted investees: Net finance costs 1 6 74 69 6 2 81 77 Income tax expense — — 36 41 — — 36 41 Depreciation and amortization 1 38 129 102 — 7 130 147 Unrealized loss (gain) on commodity-related derivative financial instruments — — 1 (3) — — 1 (3) Transaction costs incurred in respect of acquisitions and non-cash provisions — — (1) 2 — — (1) 2 Total adjustments to share of profit from equity accounted investees 2 44 239 211 6 9 247 264 Adjusted EBITDA from equity accounted investees 3 87 350 349 (2) 40 351 476 Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities per Common Share Adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a non-GAAP measure which is defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusting for the change in non-cash operating working capital, adjusting for current tax and share-based compensation payments, and deducting distributions to non-controlling interests and preferred share dividends paid. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities deducts distributions to non-controlling interest and preferred share dividends paid because they are not attributable to common shareholders. The calculation has been modified to exclude current tax expense and accrued share-based payment expense, and to include the impact of cash paid for taxes and share-based compensation, as it allows management to better assess the obligations discussed below. Management believes that adjusted cash flow from operating activities provides comparable information to investors for assessing financial performance during each reporting period. Management utilizes adjusted cash flow from operating activities to set objectives and as a key performance indicator of the Company's ability to meet interest obligations, dividend payments and other commitments. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share is a non-GAAP financial ratio which is calculated by dividing adjusted cash flow from operating activities by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Following completion of Pembina acquiring a controlling ownership interest in Alliance and Aux Sable on April 1, 2024, Pembina revised the definition of adjusted cash flow from operating activities to deduct distributions related to non-controlling interest in the Aux Sable U.S. operations. On August 1, 2024, Pembina acquired the remaining interest in Aux Sable's U.S. operations. 3 Months Ended June 30 6 Months Ended June 30 ($ millions, except per share amounts) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Cash flow from operating activities 790 954 1,630 1,390 Cash flow from operating activities per common share – basic (dollars) 1.36 1.64 2.81 2.46 Add (deduct): Change in non-cash operating working capital (18) (82) (34) 106 Current tax expense (103) (64) (236) (140) Taxes paid, net of foreign exchange 65 91 127 290 Accrued share-based payment expense (1) (19) (28) (39) Share-based compensation payment — — 86 86 Preferred share dividends paid (35) (33) (70) (64) Distributions to non-controlling interest — (10) — (10) Adjusted cash flow from operating activities 698 837 1,475 1,619 Adjusted cash flow from operating activities per common share – basic (dollars) 1.20 1.44 2.54 2.87 View source version on Contacts For further information:Investor Relations(403) 231-31561-855-880-7404e-mail: investor-relations@ Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) Posts Better-Than-Expected Sales In Q2 But Stock Drops 10.6%
Cloud communications infrastructure company Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) announced better-than-expected revenue in Q2 CY2025, with sales up 13.5% year on year to $1.23 billion. On top of that, next quarter's revenue guidance ($1.25 billion at the midpoint) was surprisingly good and 3% above what analysts were expecting. Its non-GAAP profit of $1.19 per share was 13.3% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Twilio? Find out in our full research report. Twilio (TWLO) Q2 CY2025 Highlights: Revenue: $1.23 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.19 billion (13.5% year-on-year growth, 3.4% beat) Adjusted EPS: $1.19 vs analyst estimates of $1.05 (13.3% beat) Adjusted Operating Income: $220.5 million vs analyst estimates of $202 million (18% margin, 9.2% beat) Revenue Guidance for Q3 CY2025 is $1.25 billion at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $1.21 billion Adjusted EPS guidance for Q3 CY2025 is $1.04 at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $1.15 Operating Margin: 3%, up from -1.8% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 21.4%, up from 15.2% in the previous quarter Customers: 349,000, up from 335,000 in the previous quarter Net Revenue Retention Rate: 108%, up from 107% in the previous quarter Market Capitalization: $19.88 billion 'The company's focus and execution is paying off as Q2 marked another quarter of accelerated year-over-year revenue growth as well as record non-GAAP income from operations and free cash flow,' said Khozema Shipchandler, CEO of Twilio. Company Overview Founded in 2008 by Jeff Lawson, a former engineer at Amazon, Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) is a software as a service platform that makes it really easy for software developers to use text messaging, voice calls and other forms of communication in their apps. Revenue Growth Examining a company's long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Over the last three years, Twilio grew its sales at a 11.6% compounded annual growth rate. Although this growth is acceptable on an absolute basis, it fell short of our standards for the software sector, which enjoys a number of secular tailwinds. This quarter, Twilio reported year-on-year revenue growth of 13.5%, and its $1.23 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street's estimates by 3.4%. Company management is currently guiding for a 10.3% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter. Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 5.7% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. This projection is underwhelming and implies its products and services will face some demand challenges. Software is eating the world and there is virtually no industry left that has been untouched by it. That drives increasing demand for tools helping software developers do their jobs, whether it be monitoring critical cloud infrastructure, integrating audio and video functionality, or ensuring smooth content streaming. Click here to access a free report on our 3 favorite stocks to play this generational megatrend. Customer Retention One of the best parts about the software-as-a-service business model (and a reason why they trade at high valuation multiples) is that customers typically spend more on a company's products and services over time. Twilio's net revenue retention rate, a key performance metric measuring how much money existing customers from a year ago are spending today, was 107% in Q2. This means Twilio would've grown its revenue by 6.5% even if it didn't win any new customers over the last 12 months. Trending up over the last year, Twilio has a decent net retention rate, showing us that its customers not only tend to stick around but also get increasing value from its software over time. Key Takeaways from Twilio's Q2 Results We enjoyed seeing Twilio's customer growth accelerate this quarter. We were also glad its revenue guidance for next quarter exceeded Wall Street's estimates. On the other hand, its EPS guidance for next quarter missed. Overall, this print had some key positives.
