Forward Looking Information and Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes certain forward looking information, including future oriented financial information or financial outlook, which is intended to help current and potential investors understand management’s assessment of our future plans and financial outlook, and our future prospects overall. Statements that are forward-looking are based on certain assumptions and on what we know and expect today and generally include words like anticipate, expect, believe, may, will, should, estimate or other similar words. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance. Actual events and results could be significantly different because of assumptions, risks or uncertainties related to our business or events that happen after the date of this presentation. Our forward-looking information in this presentation includes statements related to: future dividend growth, the completion of the transactions contemplated by our agreements to sell our U.S. Northeast power assets and our agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common units of Columbia Pipeline Partners LP (CPPL), the future growth of our Mexican natural gas pipeline business and our successful integration of Columbia. Our forward looking information is based on certain key assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: our ability to successfully implement our strategic initiatives and whether they will yield the expected benefits including the expected benefits of the acquisition of Columbia and the expected growth of our Mexican natural gas pipeline business, timing and completion of our planned asset sales, the operating performance of our pipeline and energy assets, economic and competitive conditions in North America and globally, the availability and price of energy commodities and changes in market commodity prices, the amount of capacity sold and rates achieved in our pipeline businesses, the amount of capacity payments and revenues we receive from our energy business, regulatory decisions and outcomes, outcomes of legal proceedings, including arbitration and insurance claims, performance of our counterparties, changes in the political environment, changes in environmental and other laws and regulations, construction and completion of capital projects, labour, equipment and material costs, access to capital markets, interest, inflation and foreign exchange rates, weather, cyber security and technological developments. You can read more about these risks and others in our Quarterly Report to shareholders dated November 1, 2016 and 2015 Annual Report filed with Canadian securities regulators and the SEC and available at www.transcanada.com. As actual results could vary significantly from the forward-looking information, you should not put undue reliance on forward-looking information and should not use future-oriented information or financial outlooks for anything other than their intended purpose. We do not update our forward-looking statements due to new information or future events, unless we are required to by law. This presentation contains reference to certain financial measures (non-GAAP measures) that do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities.
