Our Targets
Our vision is to be North America’s leading energy delivery company and our objective is to generate
superior long-term value for investors. We want to continue to deliver superior earnings growth while
maintaining our relatively low risk profile. Following are some of the targets that will help us achieve our
corporate goals.
- Realize a six per cent average
annual organic earnings per share
growth target over the next five years.
- Deliver superior dividend
growth and capital appreciation to
shareholders.
- Maintain a stable, low-risk
investment profile and strong
financial position.
OUR 2005 HIGHLIGHTS
- Achieved adjusted operating
earnings of $537.2 million, an eight
per cent increase from 2004.
- Total shareholder return* was
25.5 per cent in 2005, and has
averaged 13.3 per cent per year
since Enbridge became a publicly
traded company in 1953.
|
- Enbridge Inc. expects to spend
approximately $13 billion over the
next five years, including $8 billion
on Liquids Pipelines projects such
as Athabasca, Waupisoo, Southern
Access, Spearhead, Gateway and
mainline expansion. Total Liquids
Pipelines projects identified to date,
during and beyond the next five
years, total $13 billion.
|
- We reached an agreement on
the key terms of a new five-year
incentive tolling settlement for 2005
through 2009 for the core component
of our mainline liquids pipeline
system in Canada. The agreement
provides certainty for pipeline rate
of return for another five-year period,
and provides Enbridge with the
opportunity to earn a higher rate of
return by providing customers with
additional value.

* Total shareholder return includes total cash dividends declared plus common share price appreciation. This is not a standardized measure under
Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, therefore it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other issuers.
