EXHIBIT 13.3
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) included in this Annual Report are the responsibility of the management of TC Energy Corporation (TC Energy or the Company) and have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include amounts that are based on estimates and judgments. The MD&A is based on the Company's financial results. It compares the Company's financial and operating performance in 2025 to that in 2024, and highlights significant changes between 2024 and 2023. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Financial information contained elsewhere in this Annual Report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Management has designed and maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting, including a program of internal audits to carry out its responsibility. Management believes these controls provide reasonable assurance that financial records are reliable and form a proper basis for the preparation of financial statements. The internal control over financial reporting includes management's communication to employees of policies that govern ethical business conduct.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management concluded, based on its evaluation, that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes.
The Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements and MD&A and ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Board of Directors carries out these responsibilities primarily through the Audit Committee, which consists of independent, non-management directors. The Audit Committee meets with management at least four times a year and meets independently with internal and external auditors and as a group to review any significant accounting, internal control and auditing matters in accordance with the terms of the Charter of the Audit Committee, which is set out in the Annual Information Form. The Audit Committee's responsibilities include overseeing management's performance in carrying out its financial reporting responsibilities and reviewing the Annual Report, including the consolidated financial statements and MD&A, before these documents are submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. The internal and independent external auditors have access to the Audit Committee without the requirement to obtain prior management approval.
The Audit Committee approves the terms of engagement of the independent external auditors and reviews the annual audit plan, the Auditors' Report and the results of the audit. It also recommends to the Board of Directors the firm of external auditors to be appointed by the shareholders.
The shareholders have appointed KPMG LLP as independent external auditors to express an opinion as to whether the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with GAAP. The reports of KPMG LLP outline the scope of its examinations and its opinions on the consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
TC Energy Corporation:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TC Energy Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 12, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Determination of fair value of the Southeast Gateway pipeline
As discussed in Notes 2 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized a sales-type lease for the Southeast Gateway pipeline and recorded net investment in lease of $6.6 billion and selling profit or loss of nil upon derecognition of the carrying value of the underlying assets. At lease commencement, the Company recognizes a net investment in lease equal to the present value of the future lease payments and the estimated residual value of the underlying assets discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. The carrying value of the underlying assets is derecognized, with related gains/losses, if any, recognized in the Consolidated statement of income.
We identified the determination of fair value of the Southeast Gateway pipeline as a critical audit matter. The extent of management judgment with regards to certain qualitative factors that support the conclusion that the fair value of the Southeast Gateway pipeline approximated the carrying value of its underlying assets required subjective auditor judgment.     In addition, the audit effort associated with this evaluation required specialized skills and knowledge.
130 | TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025


The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to this critical audit matter. This included controls related to the Company’s determination that the fair value of the Southeast Gateway pipeline approximated the carrying value of its underlying assets. We evaluated the Company’s qualitative assessment of factors that supported the Company’s judgment that the fair value of the underlying assets approximated their carrying value. We evaluated the Company’s forecasted cash flows derived from a market participant’s expected use of the underlying assets to determine an implied rate of return, which was compared to estimated rates of return a market participant would require. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:
evaluating the implied return of the underlying assets by independently developing an expectation for the rate of return a market participant would expect by using publicly available market data for comparable entities; and
evaluating the implied return of the underlying assets by comparing the implied EBITDA multiple to EBITDA multiples using publicly available market data for comparable entities.
Valuation of goodwill for the Columbia reporting unit
As discussed in Notes 2 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the goodwill balance as of December 31, 2025 for the Columbia reporting unit was $10,082 million. The Company performs an annual review for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level which is one level below the Company’s operating segments. The Company can elect to proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test for any of its reporting units. If the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill impairment is measured at the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined by using a discounted cash flow model which requires the use of assumptions related to revenue and capital expenditure projections (collectively, the “key assumptions”). The Company elected to proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2025 for the Columbia reporting unit and determined that the fair value of the Columbia reporting unit, exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill, as of December 31, 2025. We identified the evaluation of the key assumptions used in the valuation of goodwill for the Columbia reporting unit as a critical audit matter. A high degree of auditor judgment was required to evaluate the key assumptions. Minor changes to the key assumptions could have had a significant effect on the Company’s determination of the fair value of the Columbia reporting unit.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s determination of the fair value of the Columbia reporting unit and its evaluation of the key assumptions. We compared the Company’s key assumptions used in the prior quantitative goodwill impairment test to actual results to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. We evaluated the Company’s key assumptions in the December 31, 2025 impairment test by comparing them to actual historical results, the outcome of the Columbia Gas Settlement and to assumptions used in industry publications related to North American and global energy consumption and production forecasts.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
TC Energy Corporation:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited TC Energy Corporation’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 12, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to consolidated financial statements
1. DESCRIPTION OF TC ENERGY'S BUSINESS
TC Energy Corporation (TC Energy or the Company) is a leading North American energy infrastructure company which operates in four business segments: Canadian Natural Gas Pipelines, U.S. Natural Gas Pipelines, Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines and Power and Energy Solutions. These segments offer different products and services, including certain natural gas and electricity marketing and storage services. The Company also has a Corporate segment, consisting of corporate and administrative functions that provide governance, financing and other support to the Company's business segments.
Canadian Natural Gas Pipelines
The Canadian Natural Gas Pipelines segment primarily consists of the Company's investments in 40,984 km (25,467 miles) of regulated natural gas pipelines currently in operation.
U.S. Natural Gas Pipelines
The U.S. Natural Gas Pipelines segment primarily consists of the Company's investments in 49,587 km (30,811 miles) of regulated natural gas pipelines, 532 Bcf of regulated natural gas storage facilities and other assets currently in operation.
Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines
The Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines segment primarily consists of the Company's investments in 3,600 km (2,235 miles) of regulated natural gas pipelines currently in operation.
Power and Energy Solutions
The Power and Energy Solutions segment primarily consists of the Company's investments in approximately 4,650 MW of power generation facilities and 118 Bcf of non-regulated natural gas storage facilities. These assets are located in Alberta, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick and Texas. In addition, TC Energy has physical and virtual power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Canada and the U.S. to buy and/or sell power from wind and solar facilities. These PPAs have the potential to be leases, derivatives or revenue arrangements depending on the contractual terms of the agreement.
Spinoff of Liquids Pipelines Business
On October 1, 2024, TC Energy completed the spinoff of its Liquids Pipelines business into the new public company, South Bow Corporation (South Bow) (the Spinoff Transaction). Refer to Note 4, Discontinued operations, for additional information.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TC Energy and its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates variable interest entities (VIEs) for which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary as well as voting interest entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. Interests in consolidated entities owned by other parties are presented as non-controlling interests. TC Energy uses the equity method of accounting for joint ventures in which the Company is able to exercise joint control and for investments in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence.
The Spinoff Transaction represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and consolidated financial results. Accordingly, the historical results of the Liquids Pipelines business are presented as discontinued operations and have been excluded from continuing operations and segment disclosures for all periods presented. The Notes to the consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations only, unless otherwise indicated. Prior to the spinoff, the operations of the Liquids Pipelines business were materially reported as the Company's Liquids Pipelines segment. Refer to Note 4, Discontinued operations, and Note 5, Segmented information, for additional information.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Out-of-Period Adjustments
During second quarter 2025, the Company recorded out-of-period adjustments to reclassify a pro rata portion of its net investment hedge losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)(AOCI).
The adjustments included (i) a reclassification of net investment hedge losses of $348 million from AOCI to Non-controlling interests (NCI) related to the sale of 40 per cent of Columbia Gas and Columbia Gulf on October 4, 2023, which was presented as Impact of non-controlling interest and Disposition of equity interests, respectively, in the Consolidated statement of equity; and (ii) a reclassification of net investment hedge losses of $542 million related to the spinoff of the Company's Liquids Pipelines business that occurred on October 1, 2024 from AOCI to Retained earnings (Accumulated deficit).
The Company determined that the impact of these out-of-period adjustments was not material, individually or in the aggregate, to any previously reported quarterly or annual financial statements and is not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Judgments
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, TC Energy is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the amount and timing of recording assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses since the determination of these items may be dependent on future events. The Company uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgment in making these estimates and assumptions.
Certain estimates and judgments have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements where the assumptions underlying these accounting estimates relate to matters that are highly uncertain at the time they are made or are subjective. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to:
fair value of the Southeast Gateway pipeline used to record a net investment upon lease commencement (Note 9)
fair value of reporting units that contain goodwill (Note 13).
Some of the estimates and judgments the Company has to make have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, but do not involve significant subjectivity or uncertainty. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to:
recoverability and depreciation rates of plant, property and equipment (Note 8)
allocation of consideration to lease and non-lease components in a contract that contains a lease (Note 9)
assumptions used to measure the carrying amount of and expected credit losses on net investment in leases and certain contract assets (Notes 9 and 27)
fair value of equity investments (Note 10)
carrying value of regulatory assets and liabilities (Note 12)
recognition of asset retirement obligations (Note 17)
provisions for income taxes, including valuation allowances and releases as well as tax positions that may be reviewed as part of an audit by tax authorities (Note 18)
assumptions used to measure retirement and other post-retirement benefit obligations (Note 26)
fair value of financial instruments (Notes 26 and 27)
commitments and provisions for contingencies and guarantees (Note 30).
TC Energy continues to assess climate-related impacts on the consolidated financial statements. There are ongoing developments in the sustainability frameworks and regulatory initiatives that could further impact accounting estimates and judgments including, but not limited to, assessment of asset useful lives, goodwill valuation, impairment of plant, property and equipment, accrued environmental costs and asset retirement obligations. The impact of these changes is continuously assessed to ensure any changes in assumptions that would impact estimates listed above are adjusted on a timely basis.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025 | 139


Regulation
Certain Canadian, U.S. and Mexico natural gas pipeline and storage assets are regulated with respect to construction, operations and the determination of tolls. In Canada, regulated natural gas pipelines are subject to the authority of the Canada Energy Regulator (CER), the Alberta Energy Regulator or the BC Energy Regulator. In the U.S., regulated interstate natural gas pipelines and regulated natural gas storage assets are subject to the authority of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). In Mexico, regulated natural gas pipelines are subject to the authority of the National Energy Commission (CNE). Rate-regulated accounting (RRA) standards may impact the timing of the recognition of certain revenues and expenses in TC Energy's rate-regulated businesses which may differ from that otherwise recognized in non-rate-regulated businesses to reflect the economic impact of the regulators' decisions regarding revenues and tolls. Regulatory assets represent costs that are expected to be recovered in customer rates in future periods and regulatory liabilities represent amounts that are expected to be returned to customers through future rate-setting processes. An operation qualifies for the use of RRA when it meets three criteria:
a regulator must establish or approve the rates for the regulated services or activities
the regulated rates must be designed to recover the cost of providing the services or products
it is reasonable to assume that rates set at levels to recover the cost can be charged to and collected from customers because of the demand for services or products and the level of direct or indirect competition.
TC Energy's businesses that apply RRA currently include natural gas pipelines in Canada, U.S. and Mexico and regulated U.S. natural gas storage.
Revenue Recognition
The total consideration for services and products to which the Company expects to be entitled can include fixed and variable amounts. The Company has variable revenue that is subject to factors outside the Company's influence, such as market prices, actions of third parties and weather conditions. The Company considers some of this variable revenue to be constrained as it cannot be reliably estimated and, therefore, variable revenue is recognized only to the extent it is probable a significant reversal in cumulative revenue will not occur.
The Company's contracts with customers include natural gas pipelines capacity arrangements and transportation contracts, power generation contracts, natural gas storage and other contracts. Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized net of any commodity taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Revenues from non-lease components associated with a lease arrangement are recognized systematically over the term of the contract.
The majority of income earned from marketing activities, as it relates to the purchase and sale of natural gas and electricity, is recorded on a net basis in the month of delivery.
Canadian Natural Gas Pipelines
Capacity Arrangements and Transportation
Revenues from the Company's Canadian natural gas pipelines are generated from contractual arrangements for committed capacity and from the transportation of natural gas. Revenues earned from firm contracted capacity arrangements are recognized ratably over the term of the contract regardless of the amount of natural gas that is transported. Transportation revenues for interruptible or volumetric-based services are recognized when the service is performed.
Revenues from the Company's Canadian natural gas pipelines under federal jurisdiction are subject to regulatory decisions by the CER. The tolls charged on these pipelines are based on revenue requirements designed to recover the costs of providing natural gas capacity for transportation services, which includes a return of and on capital, as approved by the CER. The Company's Canadian natural gas pipelines are generally not subject to earnings volatility related to variances in revenues and costs. These variances, except as related to incentive arrangements, are generally subject to deferral treatment and are recovered or refunded in future tolls. Revenues recognized prior to a CER decision on rates for that period reflect the CER's last approved return on equity (ROE) assumptions. Adjustments to revenues are recorded when the CER decision is received. Canadian natural gas pipelines' revenues are invoiced and received on a monthly basis. The Company does not take ownership of the natural gas that it transports for customers.
140 | TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025


U.S. Natural Gas Pipelines
Capacity Arrangements and Transportation
Revenues from the Company's U.S. natural gas pipelines are generated from contractual arrangements for committed capacity and from the transportation of natural gas. Revenues earned from firm contracted capacity arrangements are generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract regardless of the amount of natural gas that is transported. Transportation revenues for interruptible or volumetric-based services are recognized when the service is performed.
The Company's U.S. interstate natural gas pipelines are subject to FERC regulations and, as a result, a portion of revenues collected may be subject to refund if invoiced during an interim period when a rate proceeding is ongoing. Allowances for these potential refunds are recognized using management's best estimate based on the facts and circumstances of the proceeding. Any allowances that are recognized during the proceeding process are refunded or retained at the time a regulatory decision becomes final. U.S. natural gas pipelines' revenues are invoiced and received on a monthly basis. The Company does not take ownership of the natural gas that it transports for customers.
Natural Gas Storage and Other
Revenues from the Company's regulated U.S. natural gas storage services are generated mainly from firm committed capacity storage contracts. The performance obligation in these contracts is the reservation of a specified amount of capacity for storage including specifications with regard to the amount of natural gas that can be injected or withdrawn on a daily basis. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract period for firm committed capacity regardless of the amount of natural gas that is stored, and when gas is injected or withdrawn for interruptible or volumetric-based services. Natural gas storage services revenues are invoiced and received on a monthly basis. The Company does not take ownership of the natural gas that it stores for customers.
The Company owns mineral rights associated with certain natural gas storage facilities. These mineral rights can be leased or contributed to producers of natural gas in return for a royalty interest which is recognized when natural gas and associated liquids are produced.
Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines
Capacity Arrangements and Transportation
Revenues from certain of the Company's Mexico natural gas pipelines are primarily collected based on negotiated firm capacity contracts and are generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Transportation revenues related to interruptible or volumetric-based services are recognized when the service is performed. Mexico natural gas pipelines' revenues are invoiced and received on a monthly basis. The Company does not take ownership of the natural gas that it transports for customers.
Other
The Company generates revenues from operating and maintenance services provided on leased pipelines. Revenues earned from these services are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Power and Energy Solutions
Power
Revenues from the Company's Power and Energy Solutions business are primarily derived from long-term contractual commitments to provide power capacity to meet the demands of the market and from the sale of electricity to both centralized markets and to customers. Power generation revenues also include revenues from the sale of steam to customers. Revenues and capacity payments are recognized as the services are provided and as electricity and steam is delivered. Power generation revenues are invoiced and received on a monthly basis.
Natural Gas Storage and Other
Non-regulated natural gas storage contracts include park, loan and term storage arrangements. Revenues are recognized as the services are provided. Term storage revenues are invoiced and received on a monthly basis. Revenues from ancillary services are recognized as the service is provided.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company's Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.
TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025 | 141


Inventories
Inventories primarily consist of materials and supplies including spare parts and fuel, proprietary natural gas inventory in storage and emissions allowances and credits not held for compliance. The Company purchases certain emissions allowances and credits as part of bundled arrangements that also include the purchase of electricity for a fixed price. The cost allocated to emissions allowances and credits under such arrangements is based on observable market prices. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Assets Held for Sale
The Company classifies assets as held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market a disposal group and expects the sale to close within the next 12 months. Upon classifying an asset as held for sale, the asset is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, net of selling costs and any losses are recognized in net income. Gains related to the expected sale of these assets are not recognized until the transaction closes. Once an asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation expense is no longer recorded.
Plant, Property and Equipment
Natural Gas Pipelines
Plant, property and equipment for natural gas pipelines is carried at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis once the assets are ready for their intended use. Pipeline and compression equipment are depreciated at annual rates ranging from 0.625 per cent to 6.67 per cent and metering and other plant equipment are depreciated at various rates reflecting their estimated useful lives. The cost of major overhauls of equipment is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated service lives of the overhauls. The cost of regulated natural gas pipelines includes an allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) consisting of a debt component and an equity component based on the rate of return on rate base approved by regulators. AFUDC is reflected as an increase in the cost of the assets in Plant, property and equipment with a corresponding increase in Allowance for funds used during construction in the Consolidated statement of income. The equity component of AFUDC is a non-cash expenditure. Interest is capitalized during construction of non-regulated natural gas pipelines.
Natural gas pipelines' linepack and natural gas storage base gas are valued at cost and are maintained to ensure adequate pressure exists to transport natural gas through pipelines and deliver natural gas held in storage. Linepack and base gas are not depreciated.
When rate-regulated natural gas pipelines retire plant, property and equipment from service, the original book cost is removed from the gross plant amount and recorded as a reduction to accumulated depreciation with no amount recorded to net income. Costs incurred to remove plant, property and equipment from service, net of any salvage proceeds, are also recorded in accumulated depreciation.
Other
The Company participates as a working interest partner in the development of certain Marcellus and Utica acreage. The working interest allows the Company to invest in drilling activities in addition to receiving a royalty interest in well production. The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for natural gas and crude oil resulting from its portion of drilling activities. Capitalized well costs are depleted based on the units of production method.
Power and Energy Solutions
Plant, property and equipment for Power and Energy Solutions assets are recorded at cost and, once the assets are ready for their intended use, depreciated by major component on a straight-line basis over their estimated service lives at average annual rates ranging from two per cent to 20 per cent. Other equipment is depreciated at various rates reflecting their estimated useful lives. The cost of major overhauls of equipment is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated service lives of the overhauls. Interest is capitalized on facilities under construction. When these assets are retired from plant, property and equipment, the original book cost and related accumulated depreciation are derecognized and any gain or loss is recorded in net income.
Natural gas storage base gas, which is valued at original cost, represents gas volumes that are maintained to ensure adequate reservoir pressure exists to deliver gas held in storage. Base gas is not depreciated.
Corporate
Corporate plant, property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life at average annual rates ranging from four per cent to 20 per cent.
142 | TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025


Capital Projects in Development
The Company capitalizes project costs once advancement of the project to construction stage is probable or costs are otherwise likely to be recoverable. The Company capitalizes interest costs for non-regulated projects in development and AFUDC for regulated projects in development. Capital projects in development are included in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated balance sheet. These represent larger projects that generally require regulatory or other approvals before physical construction can begin. Once approvals are received, projects are moved to plant, property and equipment under construction.
Leases
The Company determines if     a contract contains a lease at inception, or upon modification, of a contract by using judgment in assessing the following aspects: 1) the contract specifies an identified asset which is physically distinct or, if not physically distinct, represents substantially all of the capacity of the asset; 2) the contract provides the customer with the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset; and 3) the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the identified asset is used throughout the period of the contract.
If the contract is determined to contain a lease, further judgment is required to identify separate lease components of the arrangement by assessing whether the lessee can benefit from the right of use either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the lessee, as well as if the right of use is neither highly dependent on, nor highly interrelated, with the other rights to use underlying assets in the contract.
The Company considers non-lease components as distinct elements of a contract that are not related to the use of the leased asset. A good or service that is provided to a customer is distinct if: 1) the    customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer; and 2) the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company applies the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all lessee contracts and facilities for which the Company is the lessor in an operating lease.
Lessee Accounting Policy
Operating leases are recognized as right-of-use (ROU) assets and included in Plant, property and equipment while corresponding liabilities are included in Accounts payable and other and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheet.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease agreement. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. As the Company's lease contracts do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, or upon modification of a lease, in determining the present value of future payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included in Plant operating costs and other in the Consolidated statement of income.
The Company applies the practical expedient to not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases that qualify for the short-term lease recognition exemption.
Lessor Accounting Policy
The Company provides transportation and other services on certain assets to customers according to long-term service agreements through sales-type and operating leases.
In a sales-type lease, the Company measures the total consideration within the contract at lease commencement, or upon modification of a lease. When a lease arrangement contains more than one lease and/or non-lease component, a portion of the contract consideration is allocated to each component based on the stand-alone selling price for each distinct service. The Company applies judgment to determine reasonable estimates of the expected future cost of satisfying the performance obligations of each service. The payments associated with lease components are apportioned between a reduction in the net investment in lease and sales-type lease income.
At lease commencement, the Company recognizes a net investment in lease equal to the present value of both the future lease payments and the estimated residual value of the leased asset discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. The plant, property and equipment of the leased asset is derecognized, with related gains/losses, if any, recognized in the Consolidated statement of income. Sales-type lease income is determined using the rate implicit in the lease and is recorded in Revenues.
TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025 | 143


The Company is the lessor within certain other contracts, including PPAs, that are accounted for as operating leases. In an operating lease, the leased asset remains capitalized in Plant, property and equipment on the Consolidated balance sheet and is depreciated over its useful life, while lease payments are recognized as revenue over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Variable lease payments are recognized as income in the period in which they occur.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets such as plant, property and equipment and capital projects in development for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the total of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows for an asset within plant, property and equipment, or the estimated selling price of any long-lived asset is less than the carrying value of an asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset.
Impairment of Equity Method Investments
The Company reviews equity method investments for impairment when an event or change in circumstances has a significant adverse effect on the investment's fair value. Where the Company concludes an investment's fair value is below its carrying value, the Company then determines whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and if so, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the investment, not exceeding the carrying value of the investment.
Acquisitions and Goodwill
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities are primarily measured at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is classified as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.
The annual review for goodwill impairment is performed at the reporting unit level which is one level below the Company's operating segments. The Company can initially assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The factors the Company considers include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, current valuation multiples and discount rates, cost factors, historical and forecasted financial results and events specific to that reporting unit.
If the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, the Company will then perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company can elect to proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test for any of its reporting units. If the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including its goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill impairment is measured at the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined by using a discounted cash flow model which requires the use of assumptions that may include, but are not limited to, revenue and capital expenditure projections, valuation multiples and discount rates. The Company has elected to allocate goodwill impairment charges first to goodwill that is non-deductible for income tax purposes, with any remaining charge allocated to tax-deductible goodwill.
When a portion of a reporting unit that constitutes a business is disposed, goodwill associated with that business is included in the carrying amount of the business in determining the gain or loss on disposal. The amount of goodwill disposed is determined based on the relative fair values of the business to be disposed and the portion of the reporting unit that will be retained. A goodwill impairment test will be completed for the goodwill that will be retained.
Non-Controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests (NCI) represent third-party ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company. Partial dispositions which result in a change in the Company's ownership interest, but do not result in a change in control, of a subsidiary that constitutes a business are accounted for as equity transactions. No gain or loss is recognized in earnings. At the time of partial disposition, NCI is recorded as the third party's ownership interest in the Company's carrying value of the net assets of the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the NCI is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized in Additional paid-in capital and/or Retained earnings (Accumulated deficit).
144 | TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025


Loans and Receivables
Loans receivable from affiliates and accounts receivable are measured at amortized cost.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company reviews financial assets, inclusive of net investment in leases and certain contract assets, carried at amortized cost for impairment using the lifetime expected loss of the financial asset at initial recognition and throughout the life of the financial asset. An expected credit loss (ECL) is calculated using a model and methodology based on assumptions and judgment considering historical data, current counterparty information as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions.
The ECL is recognized in Plant operating costs and other in the Consolidated statement of income, and is presented on the Consolidated balance sheet as a reduction to the carrying value of the related financial asset.
Restricted Investments
The Company has certain investments that are restricted as to their withdrawal and use. These restricted investments are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated balance sheet.
As a result of the CER’s Land Matters Consultation Initiative (LMCI), TC Energy is required to collect funds to cover estimated future pipeline abandonment costs for larger CER-regulated Canadian pipelines. Funds collected are placed in trusts that hold and invest the funds and are accounted for as restricted investments (LMCI restricted investments). LMCI restricted investments may only be used to fund the abandonment of the CER-regulated pipeline facilities, therefore, a corresponding regulatory liability is recorded on the Consolidated balance sheet.
The Company also has other restricted investments that have been set aside to fund insurance claim losses to be paid by the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates at the balance sheet date that are anticipated to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be reversed or settled. Changes to these balances are recognized in net income in the period in which they occur, except for changes in balances related to regulated natural gas pipelines which are deferred until they are refunded or recovered in tolls, as permitted by the regulator. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current on the Consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to uncertain tax positions is evaluated and a provision is made where it is more likely than not that this exposure will materialize.
Canadian income taxes are not provided for on the unremitted earnings of foreign investments that the Company does not intend to repatriate in the foreseeable future.
Any interest and/or penalty incurred related to income tax is reflected in Income tax expense.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations (ARO) in the period in which it is incurred, when a legal obligation exists and a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and the liability is accreted through charges to Plant operating costs and other in the Consolidated statement of income.
In determining the fair value of ARO, the following assumptions are used:
the expected retirement date
the scope and cost of abandonment and reclamation activities that are required
appropriate inflation and discount rates.
The Company's AROs are substantially related to its power generation facilities. The scope and timing of asset retirements related to the Company's natural gas pipelines and storage facilities are indeterminable because the Company intends to operate them as long as there is supply and demand. As a result, the Company has not recorded an amount for ARO related to these assets.
TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025 | 145


Environmental Liabilities and Emission Allowances and Credits
The Company records liabilities on an undiscounted basis for environmental remediation efforts that are likely to occur and where the cost can be reasonably estimated. These estimates, including associated legal costs, are based on available information using existing technology and enacted laws and regulations and are subject to revision in future periods based on actual costs incurred or new circumstances. TC Energy evaluates recoveries from insurers and other third parties separately from the liability and, when recovery is probable, an asset is recorded separately from the associated liability. These recoveries are presented, along with environmental remediation costs, on a net basis in Plant operating costs and other in the Consolidated statement of income. Variations in one or more of the categories described above could result in additional costs such as fines, penalties and/or expenditures associated with litigation and settlement of claims with respect to environmental liabilities.
Emission allowances or credits purchased for compliance are recorded on the Consolidated balance sheet at historical cost and derecognized when they are utilized or cancelled/retired by government agencies. Compliance costs are expensed when incurred. Allowances granted to or internally generated by TC Energy are not attributed a value for accounting purposes. When required, TC Energy accrues emission liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheet using the best estimate of the amount required to settle the compliance obligation. Allowances and credits not used for compliance are sold and any gain or loss is recorded in Revenues within the Power and Energy Solutions segment in the Consolidated statement of income. The Company records allowances and credits held for compliance in Other current assets and Other long-term assets on the Consolidated balance sheet. Allowances and credits not held for compliance are classified as Inventories on the Consolidated balance sheet.
Stock Options and Other Compensation Programs
The Company no longer issues stock options to employees or officers. Stock options granted before 2024 were recorded using the fair value method. Under this method, compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value as calculated using a binomial model and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with an offset to Additional paid-in capital. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. Upon exercise of stock options, amounts originally recorded against Additional paid-in capital are reclassified to Common shares on the Consolidated balance sheet.
The Company has medium-term incentive plans under which payments are made to eligible employees. The expense related to these incentive plans is accounted for on an accrual basis. Under these plans, benefits vest when certain conditions are met, including the employees' continued employment during a specified period and achievement of specified corporate
performance targets.
Employee Post-Retirement Benefits
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans (DB Plans), defined contribution plans (DC Plans), savings plans and other post-retirement benefit plans (OPEB Plans). Contributions made by the Company to the DC Plans and savings plans are expensed in the period in which contributions are made. The cost of the DB Plans and OPEB Plans received by employees is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method pro-rated based on service and management's best estimate of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, retirement age of employees and expected health care costs.
The DB Plans' assets are measured at fair value at December 31 of each year. The expected return on the DB Plans' assets is determined using market-related values based on a five-year moving average value for all of the DB Plans' assets. Past service costs are amortized over the expected average remaining service life (EARSL) of the employees. Adjustments arising from plan amendments are amortized on a straight-line basis over the EARSL of employees active at the date of amendment. The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of its DB Plans as an asset or liability, respectively, on its Consolidated balance sheet and recognizes changes in that funded status through Other comprehensive income (loss)(OCI) in the year in which the change occurs. The excess of net actuarial gains or losses over 10 per cent of the greater of the benefit obligation and the market-related value of the DB Plans' assets, if any, is amortized out of AOCI and into net income over the EARSL of the active employees. When the restructuring of a benefit plan gives rise to both a curtailment and a settlement, the curtailment is accounted for prior to the settlement.
For certain regulated operations, post-retirement benefit amounts are recoverable through tolls as benefits are funded. The Company records any unrecognized gains or losses or changes in actuarial assumptions related to these post-retirement benefit plans as either regulatory assets or liabilities. The regulatory assets or liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the EARSL of active employees.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
Foreign currency transactions are those transactions whose terms are denominated in a currency other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company or reporting subsidiary operates. This is referred to as the functional currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency using the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date whereas non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of exchange in effect on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses resulting from translation of monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in net income except for exchange gains and losses on any foreign currency debt related to Canadian regulated natural gas pipelines, which are deferred until they are refunded or recovered in tolls, as permitted by the CER.
Gains and losses arising from translation of foreign operations' functional currencies to the Company's Canadian dollar reporting currency are reflected in OCI until the operations are sold, at which time the gains and losses are reclassified to net income. For partial dispositions of foreign operations that do not result in a change of control, or dispositions of foreign operations other than by sale, gains and losses are reclassified within equity. Asset and liability accounts are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date while revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. The Company's U.S. dollar-denominated debt and certain derivative hedging instruments have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries and, as a result, the unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on the U.S. dollar-denominated debt and derivatives are also reflected in OCI.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
All derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated balance sheet at fair value, unless they qualify for and are designated under a normal purchase and normal sales exemption, or are considered to meet other permitted exemptions.
The Company applies hedge accounting to arrangements that qualify for and are designated for hedge accounting treatment. This includes fair value and cash flow hedges as well as hedges of foreign currency exposures of net investments in foreign operations. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively if the hedging relationship ceases to be effective or the hedging or hedged items cease to exist as a result of maturity, expiry, sale, termination, cancellation or exercise.
In a fair value hedging relationship, the carrying value of the hedged item is adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk and these changes are recognized in net income. Changes in the fair value of the hedged item, to the extent that the hedging relationship is effective, are offset by changes in the fair value of the hedging item, which are also recorded in net income. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange and interest rate fair value hedges are recorded in Interest income and other and Interest expense, respectively. If hedge accounting is discontinued, the carrying value of the hedged item is no longer adjusted and the cumulative fair value adjustments to the carrying value of the hedged item are amortized to net income over the remaining term of the original hedging relationship.
In a cash flow hedging relationship, the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative is recognized in OCI. When hedge accounting is discontinued, the amounts recognized previously in AOCI are reclassified to Revenues, Interest expense and Interest income and other, as appropriate, during the periods when the variability in cash flows of the hedged item affects net income or as the original hedged item settles. Gains and losses on derivatives are reclassified immediately to net income from AOCI when the hedged item is sold or terminated early, or when it becomes probable that the anticipated transaction will not occur. Termination payments on interest rate derivatives are classified as a financing activity in the Consolidated statement of cash flows.
In hedging the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, the foreign exchange gains and losses on the hedging instruments are recognized in OCI. The amounts recognized previously in AOCI are reclassified consistent with gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign operations, when the foreign operation is either entirely or partially disposed of.
In some cases, derivatives do not meet the specific criteria for hedge accounting treatment. In these instances, the changes in fair value are recorded in net income in the period of change.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives accounted for as part of RRA, including those that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, are refunded or recovered through the tolls charged by the Company. As a result, these gains and losses are deferred as regulatory liabilities or regulatory assets and are refunded to or collected from rate payers in subsequent periods when the derivative settles.
TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025 | 147


Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or contracts (host instrument) are recorded as separate derivatives. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value if their economic characteristics are not clearly and closely related to those of the host instrument, their terms are the same as those of a stand-alone derivative and the total contract is not held for trading or accounted for at fair value. When changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives are measured separately, they are included in net income.
Long-Term Debt Transaction Costs and Issuance Costs
The Company records long-term debt transaction costs and issuance costs as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability and amortizes these costs using the effective interest method except those related to the Canadian natural gas regulated pipelines, which continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis in accordance with the provisions of regulatory tolling mechanisms.
Guarantees
Upon issuance, the Company records the fair value of certain guarantees entered into by the Company on behalf of a partially-owned entity or by partially-owned entities for which contingent payments may be made. The fair value of these guarantees is estimated by discounting the cash flows that would be incurred by the Company if letters of credit were used in place of the guarantees as appropriate in the circumstances. Guarantees are recorded as an increase to Equity investments or Plant, property and equipment and a corresponding liability is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. The release from the obligation is recognized either over the term of the guarantee or upon expiration or settlement of the guarantee.
Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. The assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, is completed at the inception of the entity or at a reconsideration event.
Consolidated VIEs
The Company's consolidated VIEs consist of legal entities where the Company has a variable interest and for which it is considered the primary beneficiary. As the primary beneficiary, the Company has the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact economic performance including: purchasing or selling significant assets; maintenance and operations of assets; incurring additional indebtedness; or determining the strategic operating direction of the entity. In addition, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the consolidated VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Non-Consolidated VIEs
The Company’s non-consolidated VIEs consist of legal entities where the Company has a variable interest but is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power (either explicit or implicit), through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs or where this power is shared with third parties. The Company contributes capital to these VIEs and receives ownership interests that provide it with residual claims on assets after liabilities are paid. Non-consolidated VIEs are accounted for as equity investments.
The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is the maximum loss that could potentially be recorded through net income in future periods as a result of the Company’s variable interest in a VIE.

3.  ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Changes in Accounting Policies for 2025
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures through improvements to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The new guidance requires entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and sets specific disaggregation requirements for reconciling items that meet certain thresholds. Additionally, entities are required to disclose disaggregated information on income taxes paid, income from continuing operations before tax and income tax expense from continuing operations. This new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company adopted the guidance on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Refer to Note 18, Income taxes, for additional information and the effects of the new guidance.
Future Accounting Changes
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance requiring additional disclosure on the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is applied prospectively with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued updated guidance for accounting for internal-use software costs. The updated guidance removes references to project development stages and outlines revised guidance for when capitalization begins for internal-use software costs. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The guidance can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a modified transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Hedge Accounting Improvements
In November 2025, the FASB issued new guidance to further align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity's risk management activities. The amendments are intended to allow entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective hedges of forecasted transactions. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is applied on a prospective basis for all hedging relationships that exist at the date of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Government Grants
In December 2025, the FASB established authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements for government grants received. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning         January 1, 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied with a modified prospective, a modified retrospective, or a retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

4.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Spinoff of Liquids Pipelines Business
On October 1, 2024, TC Energy completed the spinoff of its Liquids Pipelines business. Pursuant to the Spinoff Transaction, TC Energy and South Bow executed a series of agreements to outline the parameters and guidelines that govern their ongoing relationship, including a Transition Services Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement and a Separation Agreement.
The Transition Services Agreement was established to specify certain services that TC Energy will provide to South Bow for a period of up to two years.
The Tax Matters Agreement governs TC Energy and South Bow's tax rights and obligations after the Spinoff Transaction. The agreement imposes certain restrictions on both TC Energy and South Bow in order to preserve the tax-free status of the spinoff. In the event the Spinoff Transaction is not tax-free, the agreement allocates tax liabilities by generally assigning responsibility to either TC Energy or South Bow to the extent that the failure to qualify is attributable to actions, events or transactions, or a breach of the representations or covenants made by that entity.
The Separation Agreement set forth the terms of the separation of the Liquids Pipelines business from the business of TC Energy, including the transfer of certain assets related to the Liquids Pipelines business from TC Energy to South Bow and the allocation of certain liabilities and obligations related to the Liquids Pipelines business between TC Energy and South Bow.
During 2025, TC Energy reached an agreement with South Bow with respect to liabilities the Company indemnified South Bow for under the Separation Agreement, releasing the Company from those liabilities. Inclusive of the recognition of the settlement, a net loss from discontinued operations of $183 million, net of tax was recognized. Payments related to the settlement commenced in fourth quarter 2025 and will be completed in 2026.
In addition, the Company revised its estimate of future recoveries, resulting in a $29 million impairment, which was included in Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated statement of income.
Separation Costs
Liquids Pipelines business separation costs primarily include internal costs related to separation activities, legal, income tax, audit and other consulting fees, insurance provisions and net financial charges related to debt issued and held in escrow. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Liquids Pipelines business separation costs of $197 million ($167 million after tax) and $40 million ($34 million after tax), respectively, were included in Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated statement of income. There were no separation costs recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Pensions
As part of the Spinoff Transaction, certain TC Energy employees became employees of South Bow. Prior to the Spinoff Transaction, these employees in Canada and the U.S. participated in DB Plans, DC Plans and savings plans, as applicable. Effective October 1, 2024, the benefit obligations under the DB Plans in respect of the employees moving from TC Energy to South Bow were transferred to South Bow. An asset transfer application related to the Canadian DB Plan outlining the proposed transfer of assets from TC Energy to South Bow has received regulatory approval. During the year ended December 31, 2025, $105 million was transferred to South Bow. As at December 31, 2025, $17 million of assets in the Canadian DB Plan remain in the TC Energy DB Plan trust and are reflected as Current assets of discontinued operations with a corresponding obligation to South Bow reflected as Current liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects the remaining assets to be fully transferred mid-2026. As at December 31, 2024, the assets related to the U.S. DB Plan were fully transferred to South Bow.
South Bow Debt
On August 28, 2024, South Bow Canadian Infrastructure Holdings Ltd. and 6297782 LLC, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company at the time, completed an offering of approximately $7.9 billion Canadian-dollar equivalent of senior unsecured notes and junior subordinated notes. Approximately $6.2 billion Canadian-dollar equivalent of the net proceeds was placed in escrow pending the completion of the Spinoff Transaction on October 1, 2024 and US$1.3 billion of senior unsecured notes were used to repay a TransCanada PipeLines Limited (TCPL) term loan. Upon completion of the Spinoff Transaction, the escrowed funds were released to South Bow and used to repay indebtedness owed by South Bow and its subsidiaries to TC Energy and its subsidiaries.

The Company's presentation of discontinued operations includes revenues and expenses directly attributable to the Liquids Pipelines business.
Prior year comparatives present the Liquids Pipelines business as discontinued operations.

1During the year ended December 31, 2025, $21 million (2024 – $41 million) of revenues were recognized, which were included in contract liabilities and long-term contract liabilities at the beginning of the year.
Contract assets and long-term contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s right to revenues for services completed but not invoiced at the reporting date on long-term committed capacity natural gas pipelines contracts. The change in contract assets is primarily related to the transfer to Accounts receivable when these rights become unconditional and the customer is invoiced, as well as the recognition of additional revenues that remain to be invoiced. Contract liabilities primarily represent unearned revenue for contracted services.

Future Revenues from Remaining Performance Obligations
As at December 31, 2025, future revenues from long-term pipeline capacity arrangements and transportation as well as natural gas storage and other contracts extending through 2055 are approximately $33.8 billion, of which approximately $7.0 billion is expected to be recognized in 2026.
A significant portion of the Company's revenues are not included in the future revenue disclosure above, as the Company has elected the following disclosure exemptions:
revenues related to flow-through operating costs, or other similar variable consideration, that are recognized at the amount for which the Company has the right to invoice the customer
variable consideration relating to interruptible transportation service revenues and power generation revenues where there is uncertainty in estimating the amount of future revenue
revenues for periods extending beyond the current rate settlement term for the Company’s U.S. natural gas pipelines' regulated transportation and storage contracts where the maximum tariff rate is to be collected from shippers
revenues for periods extending beyond the current rate settlement term for the Company's Canadian natural gas pipelines' regulated firm capacity contracts
revenues related to assets under construction, which are recognized when the asset is placed in service.

As a Lessor
Operating Leases
The Grandview and Bécancour power plants in the Power and Energy Solutions segment are accounted for as operating leases. The Company has long-term PPAs for the sale of power from these assets which expire between 2026 and 2035.
Some operating leases contain variable lease payments that are based on operating hours and the reimbursement of variable costs, and options to purchase the underlying asset at fair value or based on a formula considering the remaining fixed payments. Lessees have rights under some leases to terminate under certain circumstances.
The fixed portion of the operating lease income recorded by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 was         $109 million (2024 – $114 million; 2023 – $112 million).

At December 31, 2025, the cost and accumulated depreciation for facilities accounted for as operating leases was $697 million and $371 million, respectively (2024 – $697 million and $351 million, respectively).
Sales-Type Leases
The Tamazunchale, Villa de Reyes, Tula and Southeast Gateway pipelines are part of a U.S. dollar-denominated take-or-pay Transportation Service Agreement (TSA) that extends through 2055 between TGNH and the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE).
The consolidated TSA contains multiple lease and non-lease components. The lease components within the TSA represent the capacity available to the CFE provided by the in-service pipelines within TGNH at December 31, 2025. The non-lease components represent the Company’s services with respect to operation and maintenance of the TGNH pipelines in service. The Company allocated a portion of the contract consideration to non-lease components for the provision of operating and maintenance services based on the stand-alone selling price using an expected cost plus margin approach. The remaining consideration was allocated to the lease components using the residual approach due to uncertainty surrounding the stand-alone selling price.




TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025 | 163


Transportadora de Gas Natural de la Huasteca
In September 2025, TC Energy entered into a factoring arrangement with the CFE and a major domestic bank in Mexico to factor monthly invoices for services provided on the TGNH system in 2025. Invoices for August to October were factored to the bank without recourse to TC Energy and TC Energy continued to receive invoiced amounts within the contractual payment period.
The factoring arrangement resulted in a lease modification for accounting purposes of the existing TGNH TSA with the CFE, with no change to the lease classification upon reassessment. As such, the Company reallocated contract consideration to the lease and non-lease components of the contract using an expected cost plus margin approach based on the updated operating and maintenance services stand-alone selling price for each non-lease component as of the date of modification. The residual amount of consideration from this process was then allocated to the lease component. The change in allocation was accounted for prospectively. The rate implicit in the lease was adjusted to the rate at which the modified net investment in lease equaled the carrying value of the net investment in lease directly prior to the effective date of the modification.
Under lease accounting, TC Energy recorded factored amounts in Accounts payable and other, and the corresponding receivables were not derecognized on the Consolidated balance sheet. Cash received from the factoring arrangement were included in Financing activities in the Consolidated statement of cash flows. During 2025, TC Energy assigned and received payment for receivables having an aggregate face value of $351 million (US$251 million).
Southeast Gateway Pipeline
During second quarter 2025, the Company announced the completion of the Southeast Gateway pipeline. The Company determined that the pipeline is a sales-type lease between TGNH and the CFE that commenced when the asset was made available to the customer. At the inception of the agreement in 2022 and as revised in third quarter 2025 when the Company entered into a factoring arrangement with the CFE, the Company allocated the expected contract consideration to the non-lease component for the provisioning of operating and maintenance services based on the estimated stand-alone selling price using an expected cost plus margin approach. The residual amount of consideration from this process was then allocated to the lease component. The Company’s estimate of future operating costs influenced the allocation of contract consideration between lease and non-lease components, the timing of income recognized under the contract and the calculation of the rate implicit in the lease.
The TGNH pipelines, which includes the Southeast Gateway pipeline, are rate-regulated and the tolls are designed to recover the cost of providing service. On this basis, the Company applied judgment to determine that, at the inception of the lease arrangement, the fair value of the underlying assets approximated the carrying value and the residual value approximated the remaining carrying value at the end of the lease term. The fair value was a non-recurring measurement classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimated that if the assets were purchased at their carrying value, they would yield a return to the purchaser that is in line with current market participant expectations.
During 2025, the Company recorded a net investment in lease of $6.6 billion (US$4.8 billion) associated with the Southeast Gateway pipeline lease commencement, with no selling profit or losses recorded upon derecognition of the underlying asset. The Company recorded an expected credit loss provision of $113 million in Plant operating costs and other, relating to the initial net investment in lease balance.

2In December 2024, TC Energy made an equity contribution of $3,137 million to Coastal GasLink LP, which used the funds to repay the balance owing to TC Energy under the subordinated loan agreement. The contribution and repayment were included in Investing activities in the Consolidated statement of cash flows. Refer to Note 11, Loans with affiliates, for additional information.
Coastal GasLink Pipeline Limited Partnership
In November 2024, Coastal GasLink Pipeline Limited Partnership (Coastal GasLink LP) executed a commercial agreement with LNG Canada (LNGC) and each of the five LNGC participants (LNGC Participants) that declared commercial in-service for the Coastal GasLink pipeline, enabling toll collection from customers retroactive to October 1, 2024. The agreement also provided for a one-time payment of $199 million from LNGC Participants to TC Energy in recognition of completed work and final cost settlement, payable upon the earlier of three months following the LNG facility's declared in-service date or December 15, 2025.
Effective July 12, 2025, the LNG facility was declared in-service by LNGC. Pursuant to the commercial agreement, TC Energy received the one-time payment of $199 million, settled through a cash distribution in October 2025. This payment, which accrues entirely to TC Energy under the contractual arrangements between the Coastal GasLink LP partners, was recognized as an in-substance distribution from Coastal GasLink LP and reflected in Accounts receivable and Equity investments on the Company's Consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2024.
The Coastal GasLink project reached mechanical completion in November 2023 and was ready to deliver commissioning gas to the LNGC facility by the end of 2023. These milestones entitled Coastal GasLink LP to receive a $200 million incentive payment from LNGC, which was recorded as Accounts receivable on the Consolidated balance sheet and Income (loss) from equity investments in the Consolidated statement of income as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The incentive payment was settled through a cash distribution in February 2024.
In February 2023, Coastal GasLink LP announced an increase in the revised capital cost of the Coastal GasLink pipeline. The increase in project costs and the expectation that additional equity contributions under the subordinated loan agreement would be predominantly funded by TC Energy was an indication of significant adverse impact on the estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in Coastal GasLink LP. The Company completed valuation assessments and concluded that the fair value of its investment in Coastal GasLink LP was below its carrying value, which resulted in a pre-tax impairment charge of $2,100 million in 2023 and cumulative impairment charges of $5,148 million, or $4,586 million after tax, between December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023. No further indication of other-than-temporary impairments of the Company's investment in Coastal GasLink LP have since been identified and no further impairment charges have been recorded.
At December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Coastal GasLink LP was $896 million (2024 – $1,006 million).

Related party transactions are conducted in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.
Coastal GasLink Pipeline Limited Partnership
TC Energy holds a 35 per cent equity interest in Coastal GasLink LP and operates the Coastal GasLink pipeline.
Subordinated Loan Agreement
TC Energy has a subordinated loan agreement with Coastal GasLink LP under which the Company advances non-revolving loans at floating market-based interest rates to Coastal GasLink LP to fund capital costs associated with the Coastal GasLink Pipeline project.
Coastal GasLink LP partners, including TC Energy, are contractually obligated to contribute equity to Coastal GasLink LP to ultimately fund the settlement of amounts outstanding under the subordinated loan agreement, with an expectation that such equity will predominantly be contributed by TC Energy. Because of this expectation, amounts drawn under the subordinated loan agreement have been accounted for as in-substance equity contributions, presented as Contributions to equity investments in the Company’s Consolidated statement of cash flows. Repayments of amounts owed by Coastal GasLink LP to the Company have been accounted for as in-substance equity distributions, presented in Other distributions from equity investments in the Company's Consolidated statement of cash flows.
On December 17, 2024, following the declared commercial in-service of the pipeline, Coastal GasLink LP repaid the $3,147 million balance owing to TC Energy under the subordinated loan agreement. The Company's share of equity contributions required to fund Coastal GasLink LP's repayment of the outstanding loan balance amounted to $3,137 million. Unused committed capacity available for use by Coastal GasLink LP at December 31, 2025 was $163 million (December 31, 2024 – $228 million).
Subordinated Demand Revolving Credit Facility Agreement
The Company has a subordinated demand revolving credit facility agreement with Coastal GasLink LP to provide additional     short-term liquidity and funding flexibility to projects under construction. Facilities available through this agreement bear interest at floating market-based rates and have a combined capacity of $120 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024 with no outstanding balances at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Sur de Texas
TC Energy holds a 60 per cent equity interest in a joint venture with IEnova Infraestructura Marina Holding B.V. (IEnova) to own the Sur de Texas pipeline, operated by TC Energy. On December 15, 2025, TC Energía Mexicana, S. de R.L. de C.V. (TCEM) entered into a subordinated demand revolving credit facility to borrow funds from the joint venture at a floating interest rate. The facility has a capacity of US$270 million, maturing in December 2028. At December 31, 2025, the unused capacity available for use by TCEM was $259 million (US$189 million) and the outstanding balance of the loan was $111 million (US$81 million), which is presented in Other long-term liabilities on the Company's Consolidated balance sheet.

12.  RATE-REGULATED BUSINESSES
TC Energy's businesses that apply RRA currently include almost all of the Canadian, U.S. and Mexico natural gas pipelines and certain U.S. natural gas storage operations. Rate-regulated businesses account for and report assets and liabilities consistent with the resulting economic impact of the established rates, provided the rates are designed to recover the costs of providing the service and the competitive environment makes it probable that such rates can be charged and collected. Certain revenues and expenses subject to utility regulation or rate determination that would otherwise be reflected in the statement of income are deferred on the balance sheet and are expected to be recovered from or refunded to customers in future service rates.
Canadian Regulated Operations
The majority of TC Energy's Canadian natural gas pipelines are regulated by the CER under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act. The CER regulates the construction and operation of facilities and the terms and conditions of services, including rates, for the Company's Canadian regulated natural gas transmission systems under federal jurisdiction. The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada continues to assess designated projects.
TC Energy's Canadian natural gas transmission services are supplied under natural gas transportation tariffs that provide for cost recovery, including return of and on capital as approved by the CER. Subject to the terms of any settlement, rates charged for these services are typically set through a process that involves filing an application with the regulator wherein forecasted operating costs, including a return of and on capital, determine the revenue requirement for the upcoming year or multiple years. To the extent actual costs and revenues are more or less than forecasted costs and revenues, the regulator generally allows the difference to be deferred to a future period and recovered or refunded in rates at that time. Differences between actual and forecasted costs that the regulator does not allow to be deferred are included in the determination of net income in the year they occur. The Company's most significant regulated Canadian natural gas pipelines, based on total operated pipe length, are described below.
NGTL System
The NGTL System currently operates under the terms of the 2025-2029 Revenue Requirement Settlement, which was approved by the CER in September 2024 (the 2025-2029 NGTL Settlement). The 2025-2029 NGTL Settlement enables an investment framework that supports the approval by the Company's Board of Directors (Board) to allocate up to $3.3 billion of capital towards progression of the Multi-Year Growth Plan for expansion facilities to meet commitments on the NGTL System. It is comprised of multiple distinct projects with various targeted in-service dates, beginning in 2026, subject to final Company and regulatory approvals.
The 2025-2029 NGTL Settlement maintains an ROE of 10.1 per cent on 40 per cent deemed common equity while increasing NGTL System depreciation rates, with an incentive that allows the NGTL System the opportunity to further increase depreciation rates if tolls fall below specified levels or if growth projects are undertaken. The 2025-2029 NGTL Settlement introduces a new incentive mechanism to reduce both physical emissions and emission compliance costs, which builds on the incentive mechanism for certain operating costs where variances from projected amounts and emissions savings are shared with customers. A provision for review exists in the 2025-2029 NGTL Settlement if tolls exceed a pre-determined level or if final Company approvals of the multi-year growth plan are not obtained.
NGTL System's 2023 and 2024 results reflected the terms of the 2020-2024 Revenue Requirement Settlement which included an approved ROE of 10.1 per cent on 40 per cent deemed common equity, provided the NGTL System the opportunity to increase depreciation rates if tolls fell below specified levels and provided an incentive mechanism for certain operating costs where variances from projected amounts were shared with its customers.
Canadian Mainline
In April 2020, the CER approved the six-year unanimous negotiated settlement (the 2021-2026 Mainline Settlement) effective January 1, 2021. Similar to the previous settlement, the 2021-2026 Mainline Settlement maintains a base equity return of     10.1 per cent on 40 per cent deemed common equity and includes an incentive to either achieve cost efficiencies and/or increase revenues on the pipeline with a beneficial sharing mechanism to both customers and TC Energy.
Toll stabilization is achieved using deferral accounts, including the toll-stabilization account and the short-term adjustment accounts (STAA), which capture the surplus or shortfall between system revenues and cost of service each year under the 2021-2026 Mainline Settlement. A portion of the STAA commenced amortization in 2023 and the remainder commenced amortization in 2024, according to the terms outlined in the 2021-2026 Mainline Settlement as predetermined thresholds per the settlement agreement were met.

U.S. Regulated Operations
TC Energy's U.S. regulated natural gas pipelines operate under the provisions of the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (NGA), the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and are subject to the jurisdiction of FERC. The NGA grants FERC authority over the construction, acquisition and operation of pipelines and related facilities, including the regulation of tariffs which incorporates maximum and minimum rates for services and allows U.S. regulated natural gas pipelines to discount or negotiate rates on a non-discriminatory basis. The Company's most significant regulated U.S. natural gas pipelines, based on effective ownership and total operated pipe length, are described below.
Columbia Gas
Columbia Gas' natural gas transportation and storage services are provided under a tariff at rates subject to FERC approval. Columbia Gas operates under a settlement approved by FERC in October 2025 (the 2025 Columbia Gas Settlement). As part of the settlement, there is a moratorium on any further rate changes until April 1, 2028, and Columbia Gas must file for new rates with an effective date no later than April 1, 2031. The settlement also included additional rate step ups in April 2026 and April 2027 to reflect anticipated modernization-related spend.
ANR Pipeline
ANR Pipeline operates under rates established through a 2022 FERC-approved rate settlement (the 2022 ANR Settlement). In 2023, previously accrued rate refund liabilities, including interest, were refunded to customers. The 2022 ANR Settlement included a moratorium on rate changes until November 1, 2025, and required ANR to file for new rates with an effective date no later than August 1, 2028. The settlement also provided for a rate step up effective August 2024 related to certain modernization projects and an additional rate step up effective no later than August 1, 2028. In April 2025, ANR filed a Section 4 Rate Case with FERC requesting an increase to maximum transportation rates effective November 1, 2025, subject to refund. As of December 31, 2025, ANR is pursuing a collaborative process to find a mutually beneficial outcome with customers.
Columbia Gulf
Columbia Gulf operates under a settlement approved by FERC in August 2023, effective March 1, 2024 (the 2023 Columbia Gulf Settlement). The 2023 Columbia Gulf Settlement includes a moratorium on further rate changes through February 28, 2027, and Columbia Gulf must file for new rates no later than March 1, 2029.
Great Lakes
Great Lakes operates under a rate settlement approved by FERC in April 2022 (the 2022 Great Lakes Settlement), which maintains Great Lakes’ existing maximum transportation rates through October 31, 2025. The 2022 Great Lakes Settlement contained a moratorium until October 31, 2025. In April 2025, Great Lakes filed a Section 4 Rate Case with FERC requesting an increase to maximum transportation rates effective November 1, 2025, subject to refund. As of December 31, 2025, Great Lakes is pursuing a collaborative process to find a mutually beneficial outcome with customers.
Tuscarora
Tuscarora operates under rates established as part of the FERC-approved rate settlement in September 2023 (the 2023 Tuscarora Settlement). The 2023 Tuscarora Settlement provided for phased rate reductions as of February 1, 2023, and additionally as of February 1, 2025. The 2023 Tuscarora Settlement contains a moratorium that expires December 1, 2028. Tuscarora is required to file new rates by December 1, 2028.
Gas Transmission Northwest
Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN) operates under rates established as part of the FERC-approved rate settlement in October 2024 (the 2024 GTN Settlement). The 2024 GTN Settlement maintains the currently effective rates (the pre-filed rates) from April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2026. GTN will then reduce its pre-filed rates starting on April 1, 2026, through         March 31, 2027. The 2024 GTN Settlement contains a moratorium that expires March 31, 2027. GTN is required to file new rates by April 1, 2027.
Mexico Regulated Operations
TC Energy’s natural gas pipelines in Mexico are regulated by the CNE. While the majority of the Company's capacity is subscribed under a long-term contractual rate, the CNE sets rates for interruptible services. The rates in effect on TC Energy's Mexico natural gas pipelines provide for cost recovery, including a return of and on invested capital.

1These regulatory assets and liabilities are underpinned by non-cash transactions or are recovered without an allowance for return as approved by the regulator. Accordingly, these regulatory assets or liabilities are not included in rate base and do not yield a return on investment during the recovery period.
2Operating and debt-service regulatory assets and liabilities represent the accumulation of cost and revenue variances to be included in determination of rates in the following year.
3Foreign exchange on long-term debt of the NGTL System represents the variance resulting from revaluing foreign currency-denominated debt instruments to the current foreign exchange rate from the historical foreign exchange rate at the time of issue. Foreign exchange gains and losses realized when foreign debt matures or is redeemed early are expected to be recovered or refunded through the determination of future tolls.
4This balance represents the amounts collected in tolls from customers and is included in the LMCI restricted investments to fund future abandonment of the Company's CER-regulated pipeline facilities.
5The U.S. corporate income tax rate was reduced from 35 per cent to 21 per cent in 2017 as a result of H.R.1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (U.S. Tax Reform). This U.S. regulated operations balance, where applicable, represents established regulatory liabilities driven by 2018 FERC prescribed changes related to U.S. Tax Reform being amortized over varying terms that approximate the expected reversal of the underlying deferred tax liabilities that gave rise to the regulatory liabilities.
6These regulatory accounts are used to capture revenue and cost variances plus toll-stabilization adjustments during the 2015-2030 settlement term.
7Under the terms of the 2021-2026 Mainline Settlement, a portion of the STAA account commenced amortization in 2023 and the remainder commenced amortization in 2024, as predetermined thresholds were met, over the terms outlined per the settlement agreement.
8This balance represents anticipated costs of removal that have been, and continue to be, included in depreciation rates and collected in the service rates of certain rate-regulated operations for future costs to be incurred.
9These balances represent the regulatory offset to pension plan and other post-retirement benefit obligations to the extent the amounts are expected to be collected from or refunded to customers in future rates.
10This balance represents the amount ANR estimates it would be required to refund to its customers for post-retirement and post-employment benefit amounts collected through its FERC-approved rates that have not been used to pay benefits to its employees. Pursuant to a FERC-approved rate settlement, the $43 million (US$32 million) balance at December 31, 2025 is subject to resolution through future regulatory proceedings and, accordingly, a settlement period cannot be determined at this time.
11Under the terms of the 2021-2026 Mainline Settlement, $223 million is amortized over the six-year settlement term.

As part of the annual goodwill impairment assessment at December 31, 2025, the Company evaluated qualitative factors impacting the fair value of the underlying reporting units for all reporting units other than the Columbia reporting unit. It was determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of all reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts, including goodwill.
Columbia
The Company elected to proceed directly to a quantitative annual impairment test at December 31, 2025 for the $10,082 million (US$7,351 million) of goodwill related to the Columbia reporting unit subsequent to the 2025 Columbia Gas Settlement. To determine fair value, the Company used a discounted cash flow model incorporating projections of future cash flows as well as a valuation multiple and applied a risk-adjusted discount rate which involved significant estimates and judgments. The fair value measurement is classified as Level III in the fair value hierarchy. It was determined that the fair value of the Columbia reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill, at December 31, 2025.
Great Lakes
The estimated fair value of the Great Lakes reporting unit in excess of its carrying value was less than 10 per cent at the date of the last quantitative goodwill impairment test in 2022. Any future reductions in cash flow forecasts or adverse changes in other key assumptions could result in a future impairment of the goodwill balance.

Unremitted Earnings of Foreign Investments
Income taxes have not been provided on the unremitted earnings of foreign investments that the Company does not intend to repatriate in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax liabilities would have increased at December 31, 2025 by approximately $2,198 million (2024 – $1,728 million) if there had been a provision for these taxes.

TC Energy's practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax uncertainties in Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflects $7 million interest expense (2024 – $1 million recovery; 2023 – $3 million expense). At December 31, 2025, the Company accrued $26 million in interest expense (2024 – $19 million; 2023 – $20 million). The Company incurred no penalties associated with income tax uncertainties related to income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and no penalties were accrued as at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Company has substantially concluded all Canadian federal and provincial income tax matters for the years through 2017. Substantially all material U.S. federal, state and local income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2019. Substantially all material Mexico income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2019.

3The junior subordinated notes were issued to TransCanada Trust (the Trust), a financing trust subsidiary wholly-owned by TCPL. While the obligations of the Trust are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by TCPL on a subordinated basis, the Trust is not consolidated in TC Energy's financial statements since TCPL does not have a variable interest in the Trust and the only substantive assets of the Trust are junior subordinated notes of TCPL.
4The coupon rate is initially a fixed interest rate for the first 10 years and converts to a floating rate thereafter.
5The coupon rate is initially a fixed interest rate for the first five years and resets every five years thereafter, subject to a rate-reset minimum.
6The coupon rate is initially a fixed interest rate for the first five years and resets every five years thereafter.

In August 2025, TCPL issued $1.0 billion of junior subordinated notes maturing in 2056 with a fixed interest rate of 5.20 per cent per year until February 15, 2031. The rate on the junior subordinated notes will reset every five years commencing February 2031 until February 2056 to the then Five-Year Government of Canada Yield, as defined in the document governing the subordinated notes, plus 2.148 per cent per annum, subject to a rate-reset minimum. The junior subordinated notes are callable at TCPL's option at any time from November 15, 2030 to February 15, 2031 and on each interest payment and reset date thereafter at 100 per cent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
In February 2025, TCPL issued US$750 million of junior subordinated notes maturing in 2065 with a fixed interest rate of 7.00 per cent per year until June 1, 2030, and resetting every five years thereafter. The rate on the junior subordinated notes will reset every five years commencing June 2030 until June 2065 to the then Five-Year Treasury Rate, as defined in the document governing the subordinated notes, plus 2.614 per cent per annum. The junior subordinated notes are callable at TCPL's option at any time from March 1, 2030 to June 1, 2030 and on each interest payment and reset date thereafter at 100 per cent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The related unamortized debt issue costs of $11 million were included in Interest expense in the Consolidated statement of income. All of the proceeds from the repayment were used by the Trust to fund the redemption price of the US$750 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Trust Notes - Series 2015-A, in May 2025 pursuant to their terms.

Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
Under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (DRP), eligible holders of common and preferred shares of TC Energy can reinvest their dividends and make optional cash payments to obtain additional TC Energy common shares. From August 31, 2022 to July 31, 2023, common shares were issued from treasury at a discount of two per cent to market prices over a specified period.
After July 31, 2023, common shares purchased with reinvested cash dividends under TC Energy's DRP are acquired on the open market at 100 per cent of the weighted average purchase price.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) from continuing operations per common share is calculated by dividing Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations is calculated by dividing Net income (loss) from discontinued operations by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of shares for the diluted earnings per share calculation includes options exercisable under TC Energy's Stock Option Plan and, from August 31, 2022 to July 31, 2023, common shares issuable from treasury under the DRP.

1     Exercise prices of TC Energy stock options were adjusted in 2024 for the change in value of the TC Energy common shares following the Spinoff Transaction.
At December 31, 2025, an additional 3,994,688 common shares were reserved for future issuance from treasury under TC Energy's Stock Option Plan. The contractual life of options granted is seven years. Options may be exercised at a price determined at the time the option is awarded and vest equally on the anniversary date in each of the three years following the award. Forfeiture of stock options results from their expiration and, if not previously vested, upon resignation or termination of the option holder's employment. Commencing in 2024, the Company no longer issues stock options to employees or officers. The Company used a binomial model for determining the fair value of options granted and applied the following weighted average assumptions:

TC Energy's Shareholder Rights Plan is designed to provide the Board of Directors with sufficient time to explore and develop alternatives for maximizing shareholder value in the event of a takeover offer for the Company and to encourage the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any such offer. Attached to each common share is one right that, under certain circumstances, entitles certain holders to purchase an additional common share of the Company.

26.  EMPLOYEE POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors DB Plans for certain employees. Pension benefits provided under the DB Plans are generally based on years of service and highest average earnings over three to five consecutive years of employment. Effective January 1, 2019, there were certain amendments made to the Canadian DB Plan for new members. Subsequent to that date, benefits provided for new members were based on years of service and highest average earnings over five consecutive years of employment. Upon commencement of retirement, pension benefits in the Canadian DB Plan increase annually by a portion of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for employees hired prior to January 1, 2019. On January 1, 2024 the Canadian DB Plans were closed to new entrants. Employees hired on and after January 1, 2024 will participate in the Canadian DC Plan.
On January 1, 2025, there was an amendment to the Canadian OPEB Plan which closed the plan for any eligible active employees that did not retire by December 31, 2024. All active employees who no longer meet the eligibility for the OPEB Plan will be eligible for a new plan that provides an annual health spending account to retirees and their dependents from retirement to age 65.
The Company's U.S. DB Plan is closed to non-union new entrants and all non-union hires participate in the DC Plan. Net actuarial gains or losses are amortized out of AOCI over the EARSL of Plan participants, which was approximately eight years at December 31, 2025 (2024 – nine years; 2023 – nine years).
The Company also provides its employees with DC Plans and savings plans in Canada, DC Plans in Mexico, DC Plans consisting of a 401(k) Plan in the U.S. and post-employment benefits other than pensions, including termination benefits and life insurance and medical benefits beyond those provided by government-sponsored plans. Net actuarial gains or losses for the plans are amortized out of AOCI over the EARSL of employees, which was approximately 11 years at December 31, 2025 (2024 – 12 years and 2023 – 12 years). In 2025, the Company expensed $72 million (2024 – $71 million and 2023 – $64 million) for the savings and DC Plans.
As part of the Spinoff Transaction, certain TC Energy employees became employees of South Bow. Prior to the Spinoff Transaction, these employees in Canada and the U.S. participated in DB Plans, DC Plans and savings plans, as applicable. Effective October 1, 2024, the benefit obligations under the DB Plans in respect of the employees moving from TC Energy to South Bow were transferred to South Bow. An asset transfer application related to the Canadian DB Plan outlining the proposed transfer of assets from TC Energy to South Bow has received regulatory approval. During the year ended December 31, 2025, $105 million was transferred to South Bow. As at December 31, 2025, $17 million of assets in the Canadian DB Plan remain in the TC Energy DB Plan trust and are reflected as Current assets of discontinued operations with a corresponding obligation to South Bow reflected as Current liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects the remaining assets to be fully transferred mid-2026. As at December 31, 2024, the assets related to the U.S. DB Plan were fully transferred to South Bow.
Total cash contributions by the Company for employee post-retirement benefits were as follows:

Savings and DC Plans72 71 64

Current Canadian pension legislation allows for partial funding of solvency requirements over a number of years through letters of credit in lieu of cash contributions, up to certain limits. Total letters of credit provided to the Canadian DB plan at December 31, 2025 was nil (2024 – $111 million; 2023 – $244 million).
The most recent actuarial valuation of the pension plans for funding purposes was as at January 1, 2025 and the next required valuation is at January 1, 2026.

1The benefit obligation for the Company’s pension benefit plans represents the projected benefit obligation. The benefit obligation for the Company’s other post-retirement benefit plans represents the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation.
2The increase in the actuarial (gain) loss on the defined benefit plan obligation is primarily attributable to an increase in the weighted discount rate from 4.90 per cent in 2024 to 5.10 per cent in 2025 and an increase in the rate of return. The actuarial (gain) loss on the OPEB Plan obligation is primarily due to changes in demographic assumptions.

Pension plan assets are managed on a going concern basis, subject to legislative restrictions, and are diversified across asset classes to maximize returns at an acceptable level of risk. Asset mix strategies consider plan demographics and may include traditional equity and debt securities as well as alternative assets such as infrastructure, private equity, real estate and derivatives to diversify risk. Derivatives are not used for speculative purposes and may be used to hedge certain liabilities.
All investments are measured at fair value using market prices. Where the fair value cannot be readily determined by
reference to generally available price quotations, the fair value is determined by considering the discounted cash flows on
a risk-adjusted basis and by comparison to similar assets which are publicly traded. In Level I, the fair value of assets is determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at
the measurement date. In Level II, the fair value of assets is determined using valuation techniques such as option pricing
models and extrapolation using significant inputs which are observable directly or indirectly. In Level III, the fair value of
assets is determined using a market approach based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair
value measurement.

The rate used to discount pension and other post-retirement benefit plan obligations was developed based on a yield curve of primarily corporate AA bond yields at December 31, 2025. This yield curve is used to develop spot rates that vary based on the duration of the obligations. The estimated future cash flows for the pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations were matched to the corresponding rates on the spot rate curve to derive a weighted average discount rate.
The significant weighted average actuarial assumptions adopted in measuring the Company's benefit obligations were as follows:

The overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on historical and projected rates of return for the portfolio in aggregate and for each asset class in the portfolio. Assumed projected rates of return are selected after analyzing historical experience and estimating future levels and volatility of returns. Asset class benchmark returns and asset mix are also considered in determining the overall expected rate of return. The discount rate is based on market interest rates of high-quality bonds that match the timing and benefits expected to be paid under each plan.
A 6.70 per cent weighted-average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2026 measurement purposes. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 4.85 per cent by 2036 and remain at this level thereafter.

27.  RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management Overview
TC Energy has exposure to various financial risks and has strategies, policies and limits in place to manage the impact of these risks on its earnings, cash flows and, ultimately, shareholder value.
Risk management strategies, policies and limits are designed to ensure TC Energy's risks and related exposures are in line with the Company's business objectives and risk tolerance. TC Energy's risks are managed within limits that are established by the Company's Board, implemented by senior management and monitored by the Company's risk management, internal audit and business segment groups. The Board's Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with risk management policies and procedures and oversees management's review of the adequacy of the risk management framework.
Market Risk
The Company constructs and invests in energy infrastructure projects, purchases and sells commodities, issues short- and long‑term debt, including amounts in foreign currencies and invests in foreign operations. Certain of these activities expose the Company to market risk from changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, which may affect the Company's earnings, cash flows and the value of its financial assets and liabilities. The Company assesses contracts used to manage market risk to determine whether all, or a portion, meets the definition of a derivative.
Derivative contracts the Company uses to assist in managing exposure to market risk may include the following:
forwards and futures contracts – agreements to purchase or sell a specific financial instrument or commodity at a specified price and date in the future
swaps – agreements between two parties to exchange streams of payments over time according to specified terms
options – agreements that convey the right, but not the obligation of the purchaser to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument or commodity at a fixed price, either at a fixed date or at any time within a specified period.
Commodity price risk
The following strategies may be used to manage the Company's exposure to market risk resulting from commodity price risk management activities in the Company's non-regulated businesses:
in the Company's natural gas marketing business, TC Energy enters into natural gas transportation and storage contracts as well as natural gas purchase and sale agreements. The Company manages exposure on these contracts using financial instruments and hedging activities to offset market price volatility
in the Company's power businesses, TC Energy manages the exposure to fluctuating commodity prices through long-term contracts and hedging activities including selling and purchasing electricity and natural gas in forward markets
in the Company's non-regulated natural gas storage business, TC Energy's exposure to seasonal natural gas price spreads is managed with a portfolio of third-party storage capacity contracts and through offsetting purchases and sales of natural gas in forward markets to lock in future positive margins.
Lower natural gas and electricity prices could lead to reduced investment in the development, expansion and production of these commodities. A reduction in the demand for these commodities could negatively impact opportunities to expand the Company's asset base and/or re-contract with TC Energy's shippers and customers as contractual agreements expire.
Physical and transition risks
Climate-related physical and transition risks may influence demand for, or the operation of, TC Energy's assets, which could affect the Company’s financial performance. TC Energy evaluates the financial resilience of its asset portfolio against a range of future pricing and supply and demand outcomes as part of the Company's strategic planning process.
TC Energy manages exposure to climate-related transition risks and resulting policy changes through its business model, which is based on a long-term, low-risk strategy whereby the majority of TC Energy’s earnings are underpinned by regulated         cost-of-service arrangements and/or long-term contracts. Physical and transition risks are factored into capital planning, enterprise risk management, financial risk management and operational activities. In addition, the Company is actively working to reduce methane emissions intensity from our natural gas transmission and gas storage assets.
TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025 | 199


Interest rate risk
TC Energy utilizes short- and long-term debt to finance its operations which exposes the Company to interest rate risk. TC Energy typically pays fixed rates of interest on its long-term debt and floating rates on short-term debt including its commercial paper programs and amounts drawn on its credit facilities. A small portion of TC Energy's long-term debt bears interest at floating rates. In addition, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk on financial instruments and contractual obligations containing variable interest rate components. The Company actively manages its interest rate risk using interest rate derivatives.
Foreign exchange risk
Certain of TC Energy's businesses generate all or most of their earnings in U.S. dollars and, since the Company reports its financial results in Canadian dollars, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar can affect its net income. This exposure grows as the Company's U.S. dollar-denominated operations grow. A portion of this risk is offset by interest expense on U.S. dollar-denominated debt. The balance of the exposure is actively managed on a rolling basis up to three years in advance using foreign exchange derivatives; however, the natural exposure beyond that period remains.
A portion of the Company's Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines monetary assets and liabilities are peso-denominated, while TC Energy's Mexico operations' financial results are denominated in U.S. dollars. These peso‑denominated balances are revalued to U.S. dollars and, as a result, changes in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar can affect the Company's net income. In addition, foreign exchange gains or losses calculated for Mexico income tax purposes on the revaluation of U.S. dollar‑denominated monetary assets and liabilities result in a peso‑denominated income tax exposure for these entities, leading to fluctuations in Income (loss) from equity investments and Income tax expense (recovery). These exposures are actively managed using foreign exchange derivatives, although some unhedged exposure remains.
Net investment in foreign operations
The Company hedges a portion of its net investment in foreign operations (on an after-tax basis) with U.S. dollar‑denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate swaps as appropriate.
The fair values and notional amounts for the derivatives designated as a net investment hedge were as follows:

Counterparty Credit Risk
TC Energy's exposure to counterparty credit risk includes its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, available-for-sale assets, the fair value of derivative assets, net investment in leases and certain contract assets in Mexico.
At times, the Company's counterparties may endure financial challenges resulting from commodity price and market volatility, economic instability and political or regulatory changes. In addition to actively monitoring these situations, there are a number of factors that reduce TC Energy's counterparty credit risk exposure in the event of default, including:
contractual rights and remedies together with the utilization of contractually-based financial assurances
current regulatory frameworks governing certain TC Energy operations
the competitive position of the Company's assets and the demand for the Company's services
potential recovery of unpaid amounts through bankruptcy and similar proceedings.
200 | TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025


The Company reviews financial assets carried at amortized cost for impairment using the lifetime expected loss of the financial asset at initial recognition and throughout the life of the financial asset. TC Energy uses historical credit loss and recovery data, adjusted for management's judgment regarding current economic and credit conditions, along with reasonable and supportable forecasts to determine any impairment, which is recognized in Plant operating costs and other.
The Company’s net investment in leases and certain contract assets are financial assets subject to ECL. TC Energy’s methodology for assessing the ECL regarding these financial assets includes consideration of the probability of default (the probability that the customer will default on its obligation), the loss given default (the economic loss as a proportion of the financial asset balance in the event of a default) and the exposure at default (the financial asset balance at the time of a hypothetical default) with one‑year forward-looking information that includes assumptions for future macroeconomic conditions under three probability‑weighted future scenarios.
The macroeconomic factors considered most relevant to the Company's net investment in leases and contract assets include Mexico's GDP, Mexico's government debt to GDP and Mexico's inflation. The ECL amount is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in assumptions and forecasts for future economic conditions.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an $84 million ECL expense (2024 – $23 million recovery; 2023 ‑ $73 million recovery) with respect to the net investment in leases associated with the in-service TGNH pipelines and $1 million ECL recovery (2024 – $1 million expense; 2023 – $10 million recovery) for contract assets related to certain other Mexico natural gas pipelines. At December 31, 2025, the balance of the ECL provision was $141 million (2024 – $59 million) with respect to the net investment in leases associated with in-service TGNH pipelines. The ECL provision is driven primarily by a probability of default measure for the counterparty, which is calculated using information published by an external third party.
Other than the ECL provision noted above, the Company had no significant credit losses at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no significant credit risk concentrations and no significant amounts past due
or impaired.
TC Energy has significant credit and performance exposure to financial institutions that hold cash deposits and provide committed credit lines and letters of credit that help manage the Company's exposure to counterparties and provide liquidity in commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate derivative markets. TC Energy's portfolio of financial sector exposure consists primarily of highly-rated investment grade, systemically important financial institutions.
Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value of non-derivative financial instruments
Available-for-sale assets are recorded at fair value which is calculated using quoted market prices where available in addition to the Company's LMCI equity securities which are classified in Level I of the fair value hierarchy. Certain other non-derivative financial instruments included in Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Other current assets, Net investment in leases, Restricted investments, Other long-term assets, Notes payable, Accounts payable and other, Dividends payable, Accrued interest and Other long-term liabilities have carrying amounts that approximate their fair value due to the nature of the item or the short time to maturity.
Credit risk has been taken into consideration when calculating the fair value of non-derivative financial instruments.

202 | TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025


Derivative Instruments
Fair value of derivative instruments
The fair value of foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives has been calculated using the income approach which uses year‑end market rates and applies a discounted cash flow valuation model. The fair value of commodity derivatives has been calculated using quoted market prices where available. In the absence of quoted market prices, third-party broker quotes or other valuation techniques have been used. The fair value of options has been calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Credit risk has been taken into consideration when calculating the fair value of derivative instruments. Unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments are not necessarily representative of the amounts that will be realized on settlement.
In some cases, even though the derivatives are considered to be effective economic hedges, they do not meet the specific criteria for hedge accounting treatment or are not designated as a hedge and are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income in the period of change. This may expose the Company to increased variability in reported earnings because the fair value of the derivative instruments can fluctuate significantly from period to period.
The recognition of gains and losses on derivatives for Canadian natural gas regulated pipeline exposures is determined through the regulatory process. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives accounted for as part of RRA, including those that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, are expected to be refunded or recovered through the tolls charged by the Company. As a result, these gains and losses are deferred as regulatory liabilities or regulatory assets and are refunded to or collected from the rate payers in subsequent years when the derivative settles.

With respect to the derivative instruments presented above, the Company provided cash collateral of $93 million and letters of credit of $73 million at December 31, 2025 (2024 – $133 million and $59 million, respectively) to its counterparties.            At December 31, 2025, the Company held less than $1 million in cash collateral and $102 million in letters of credit (2024 – less than $1 million and $75 million, respectively) from counterparties on asset exposures.
Credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments
Derivative contracts entered into to manage market risk often contain financial assurance provisions that allow parties to the contracts to manage credit risk. These provisions may require collateral to be provided if a credit-risk-related contingent event occurs, such as a downgrade in the Company's credit rating to non-investment grade. The Company may also need to provide collateral if the fair value of its derivative financial instruments exceeds pre-defined exposure limits.
Based on contracts in place and market prices at December 31, 2025, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $5 million (2024 – net liability of $10 million), for which the Company has provided no collateral in the normal course of business. If the credit-risk-related contingent features in these agreements were triggered on December 31, 2025, the Company would have been required to provide collateral equal to the fair value of the related derivative instruments discussed above. Collateral may also need to be provided should the fair value of derivative instruments exceed pre-defined contractual exposure limit thresholds. The Company has sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and undrawn committed revolving credit facilities to meet these contingent obligations should they arise.

Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company's financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized into three categories based on a fair value hierarchy.
LevelsHow Fair Value Has Been Determined
Level IQuoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is a market in which frequency and volume of transactions provides pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level II
This category includes interest rate and foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using the income approach and commodity derivatives where fair value is determined using the market approach.
Inputs include published exchange rates, interest rates, interest rate swap curves, yield curves and broker quotes from external data service providers.
Level III
This category includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low. The Company uses the most observable inputs available or alternatively long-term broker quotes or negotiated commodity prices that have been contracted for under similar terms in determining an appropriate estimate of these transactions. Where appropriate, these long-dated prices are discounted to reflect the expected pricing from the applicable markets.
There is uncertainty caused by using unobservable market data which may not accurately reflect possible future changes in fair value.
The fair value of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, including both current and non‑current portions, were categorized as follows:

The Company has entered into contracts, which commenced in 2025 and with terms ranging from 15 to 20 years, to sell 50 MW of power provided from specified renewable sources in the Province of Alberta. The fair value of these contracts is classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy and is based on the assumption that the contract volumes will be sourced approximately 80 per cent from wind generation, 10 per cent from solar generation and 10 per cent from the market.

29.  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
U.S. Natural Gas Pipelines
Portland Natural Gas Transmission System (PNGTS)
In August 2024, the Company and its partner, Northern New England Investment Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Énergir L.P. (Énergir), completed the sale of PNGTS to a third party for a gross purchase price of approximately $1.6 billion     (US$1.1 billion), including the third party's assumption of US$250 million of senior notes outstanding at PNGTS, split pro rata according to the PNGTS ownership interests (TC Energy – 61.7 per cent, Énergir – 38.3 per cent). The Company's share of the proceeds was $743 million (US$546 million), net of transaction costs. The pre-tax gain attributable to the Company of         $572 million (US$408 million) was included in Net gain (loss) on sale of assets in the Consolidated statement of income, and the after-tax gain attributable to the Company was $456 million (US$323 million). The gain includes foreign currency translation gains of $15 million which were reclassified from AOCI to Net income (loss).
Columbia Gas and Columbia Gulf
In October 2023, TC Energy completed the sale of a 40 per cent non-controlling equity interest in Columbia Gas and Columbia Gulf to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for proceeds of $5.3 billion (US$3.9 billion). The Company continues to have a controlling interest in these companies and will remain the operator of the pipelines. TC Energy and GIP will each fund their proportionate share of annual maintenance, modernization and sanctioned growth capital expenditures through internally generated cash flows, debt financing within the Columbia entities, or from proportionate contributions from TC Energy and GIP.
The sale was accounted for as an equity transaction of which $9.5 billion (US$6.9 billion) was recorded as non-controlling interests to reflect the 40 per cent change in the Company’s ownership interest in Columbia Gulf and Columbia Gas. The difference between the non-controlling ownership interest recognized and the consideration received was recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital of $3.5 billion (US$3.0 billion), net of tax and transaction costs for the year ended December 31, 2023.
At December 31, 2024, as part of the contingent consideration included in the sale, TC Energy accrued a one-time special distribution to GIP of $33 million (US$23 million), or $24 million (US$17 million) net of tax, in Additional paid-in capital.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $348 million as an out-of-period adjustment to reclassify a pro rata portion of its net investment hedge losses from AOCI to NCI related to the sale of 40 per cent of Columbia Gas and Columbia Gulf on October 4, 2023. Refer to Note 2, Accounting policies, for additional information.
Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines
Transportadora de Gas Natural de la Huasteca
In second quarter 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Company's strategic alliance, and in exchange for cash and     non-cash consideration of $561 million (US$411 million), the CFE became a partner in TGNH with a 13.01 per cent equity interest. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction, of which $588 million was recognized in Non-controlling interests and $21 million was recognized as AOCI attributable to the CFE’s non-controlling interest. The difference between these amounts and the consideration received was recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital of $27 million.
Power and Energy Solutions
Texas Wind Farms
In the first half of 2023, TC Energy acquired 100 per cent of the Class B Membership Interests in Fluvanna Wind Farm (Fluvanna) and Blue Cloud Wind Farm (Blue Cloud), respectively. Each of these operating assets has a tax equity investor which owns 100 per cent of the Class A Membership Interests, to which a percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows are allocated. The tax equity investors' interests were recorded as non-controlling interests at their aggregate estimated fair value of $222 million (US$167 million).
TC Energy has determined that the use of the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method of allocating earnings between the Company and the tax equity investors is appropriate as the earnings, tax attributes and cash flows from Fluvanna and Blue Cloud are allocated to its Class A and Class B Membership Interest owners on a basis other than ownership percentages.
Using the HLBV method, the Company's earnings from the projects are calculated based on how the projects would allocate and distribute cash if the net assets were sold at their carrying amounts on the reporting date under the provisions of the tax equity agreements.
TC Energy Consolidated Financial Statements 2025 | 211


TC Energy determined it has a controlling financial interest in both projects and has consolidated the acquired entities as voting interest entities. The tax equity investors’ interests were recorded as non-controlling interests at their estimated fair values of $106 million (US$80 million) for Fluvanna and $116 million (US$87 million) for Blue Cloud. These transactions are accounted for as asset acquisitions and therefore did not result in the recognition of goodwill.
30.  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
Commitments
TC Energy and its affiliates have long-term natural gas transportation and natural gas purchase arrangements as well as other purchase obligations, all of which are transacted at market prices and in the normal course of business. Purchases under these contracts in 2025 were $340 million (2024 – $347 million; 2023 – $335 million).
The Company has entered into PPAs with solar and wind-power generating facilities with terms extending to 2038 that require the purchase of generated energy and associated environmental attributes. At December 31, 2025, the total planned capacity secured under the PPAs is approximately 750 MW with the generation subject to operating availability and capacity factors. These PPAs do not meet the definition of a lease or derivative. Future payments and their timing cannot be reasonably estimated as they are dependent on when certain underlying facilities are placed into service and the amount of energy generated. Certain of these purchase commitments have offsetting sale PPAs for all or a portion of the related output from the facility.
Capital expenditure commitments include obligations related to the construction of growth projects and are based on the projects proceeding as planned. Changes to these projects, including cancellation, would reduce or possibly eliminate these commitments as a result of cost mitigation efforts. At December 31, 2025, TC Energy had approximately $0.8 billion of capital expenditure commitments, primarily consisting of $0.6 billion for its U.S. natural gas pipelines, primarily related to construction costs associated with ANR and other pipeline projects.
Contingencies
TC Energy is subject to laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control. At December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued approximately $6 million (2024 – $8 million) related to operating facilities, which represents the present value of the estimated future amount it expects to spend to remediate the sites. However, additional liabilities may be incurred as assessments take place and remediation efforts continue.
TC Energy and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. The Company assesses all legal matters on an ongoing basis, including those of its equity investments, to determine if they meet the requirements for disclosure or accrual of a contingent loss.
The following contingencies were concluded during the year ended December 31, 2025:
2016 Columbia Pipeline Acquisition Lawsuit
In 2018, former shareholders of Columbia Pipeline Group Inc. (CPG) commenced a class action lawsuit related to the acquisition of CPG by TC Energy in 2016. In 2023, the Delaware Chancery Court (the Court) found that the former CPG executives breached their fiduciary duties, that the former CPG Board breached its duty of care in overseeing the sale process and that TC Energy aided and abetted those breaches. TC Energy's allocated share of damages was an estimated US$350 million, plus post-judgment interest. TC Energy appealed the decision to the Delaware Supreme Court and on June 17, 2025, the Supreme Court issued its decision reversing the Court’s finding of liability against TC Energy. On July 10, 2025, the Court granted the final order vacating its prior judgment and dismissing plaintiffs’ claims against TC Energy. As a result, this matter is now concluded in TC Energy’s favour with no liability. There is no further right of appeal.
Pacific Atlantic Pipeline Construction Ltd.
Coastal GasLink LP and Pacific Atlantic Pipeline Construction Ltd., one of the prime contractors on the Coastal GasLink pipeline, and their parent company Bonatti S.p.A, have reached a mutually acceptable resolution to their disputes. The settlement is not an admission of liability by either party and the parties have mutually released their respective claims in the arbitration. Details of the arbitration and the settlement are confidential, but it does include the retention by Coastal GasLink LP of the letter of credit funds drawn in 2024 and the settlement did not have a material impact on TC Energy's financial statements.

Macro Spiecapag Coastal GasLink Joint Venture
Coastal GasLink LP and Macro Spiecapag Coastal GasLink Joint Venture have reached a mutually acceptable resolution to their disputes. The settlement is not an admission of liability by either party and the parties have mutually released their respective claims in the arbitration. Details of the arbitration and the settlement are confidential and the settlement did not have a material impact on TC Energy’s financial statements.
Guarantees
TC Energy and its partner on the Sur de Texas pipeline, IEnova, have jointly guaranteed the financial performance of the entity which owns the pipeline. Such agreements include a guarantee and a letter of credit which are primarily related to the delivery of natural gas.
TC Energy and its joint venture partner on Bruce Power, BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust, have each severally guaranteed certain contingent financial obligations of Bruce Power related to a lease agreement and contractor and supplier services.
The Company and its partners in certain other jointly-owned entities have either: i) jointly and severally; ii) jointly; or             iii) severally guaranteed the financial performance of these entities. Such agreements include guarantees and letters of credit which are primarily related to delivery of natural gas. For certain of these entities, any payments made by TC Energy under these guarantees in excess of its ownership interest are to be reimbursed by its partners.
The carrying value of these guarantees has been recorded in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheet. Information regarding the Company’s guarantees were as follows:

2TC Energy is contractually obligated to fund the capital costs to complete the Coastal GasLink pipeline by funding the remaining equity requirements of Coastal GasLink LP through incremental capacity on the subordinated loan agreement with Coastal GasLink LP until final costs are determined. In December 2024, TC Energy made an equity contribution of $3,137 million to Coastal GasLink LP, which used the funds to repay the $3,147 million balance owing to TC Energy under the subordinated loan agreement. The repayment reduced the Company's funding commitment under the subordinated loan agreement to $228 million. In October 2025, TC Energy made an additional $65 million in equity contributions to Coastal GasLink LP, which reduced the Company's funding commitment under the subordinated loan agreement to $163 million. In addition to the subordinated loan agreement, TC Energy has entered into an equity contribution agreement to fund a maximum of $37 million for its proportionate share of the equity requirements related to the Cedar Link project.
