PRESIDENT COMMENT

"Spectra Energy Partners achieved another solid quarter thanks to the reliability and strength of our fee-based business model with no direct commodity exposure and virtually no volume exposure, and further enhanced by the successful execution of our expansion program. The 39th consecutive quarterly cash distribution increase we announced earlier today demonstrates our continued ability to generate both the cash flow and growth we promised investors," said Bill Yardley, chairman and president of Spectra Energy Partners.

"We also made significant progress in advancing SEP's 15 commercially secured projects totaling more than $8 billion in gross expansion opportunity through 2019 - most notably, by placing the Sabal Trail project into service in early July, on time and on budget. The strength of our business model and expansion program continues to give us confidence in our ongoing ability to deliver on the financial commitments we made to our investors," continued Yardley.

SEGMENT RESULTS

U.S. Transmission

Ongoing EBITDA from U.S. Transmission was $497 million in the second quarter 2017, compared with $412 million for the second quarter of 2016, and reflects increased earnings from expansion projects including AIM, Sabal Trail, Gulf Markets and NEXUS. The 2017 and 2016 ongoing results exclude special items of $11 million and $6 million in expenses respectively, both related to the 2016 Texas Eastern pipeline incident. The 2017 ongoing results also exclude $6 million in expense, primarily from merger-related costs.

Liquids

Ongoing EBITDA from Liquids was $65 million in the second quarter 2017, compared with $58 million in the second quarter 2016. These results reflect expansion revenues from the Express Enhancement project placed into service in October 2016 and higher transportation revenues due to higher average tariff rates on the Express Pipeline, partially offset by higher operating costs. The 2017 period excludes a special item of $1 million for merger-related costs.

Other

Ongoing net expenses from "Other" were $14 million and $22 million in the second quarters 2017 and 2016, respectively. The 2017 period excludes special items of $11 million, primarily from merger-related costs.

Interest Expense
Interest expense was $60 million in the second quarter 2017, compared with $56 million in the second quarter 2016, reflecting higher average long-term debt balances in 2017, partially offset by higher capitalized interest.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

Total debt outstanding at Spectra Energy Partners as of June 30, 2017 was $7.9 billion, with available liquidity of $1.3 billion.

This year, Spectra Energy Partners has received net proceeds of $85 million through its "At the Market" (ATM) equity issuance program.

Including contributions from noncontrolling interests, Spectra Energy Partners has $1.8 billion of capital expansion spending planned in 2017, which is expected to be funded through a combination of debt, equity issued primarily through its ATM program, and return of capital from joint venture asset-level financings. Including contributions from noncontrolling interests of $126 million, total capital spending for the three months ended June 30, 2017, was $585 million, consisting of $532 million of growth capital expenditures and $53 million of maintenance capital expenditures.

EXPANSION PROJECT UPDATES

Commercially Secured Projects

Sabal Trail was placed into commercial service in early July with 400,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of firm transportation available to meet the peak cooling season needs of Florida Power and Light and an additional 300,000 Dth/d of firm delivery available to serve Duke Energy's new natural gas-fired generation later this year. The 515-mile pipeline will have the capacity to deliver approximately 1.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to the Southeast U.S. once approved future expansions are completed. The successful completion of Sabal Trail demonstrates Spectra Energy Partner's ability to navigate rigorous environmental permitting processes while working with landowners and other key stakeholders.

The Lebanon Extension and phase two of the Gulf Markets Expansion were placed into service earlier this week, several months ahead of schedule and on budget, again demonstrating the success of SEP's project execution model. Construction continues on Access South and Adair Southwest, which are on track for in-service later this year.

Construction also continues on Atlantic Bridge, with initial in-service of the Connecticut facilities scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2017. Full in-service of all project facilities is expected in the second half of 2018.

The Bayway Lateral project received FERC approval in July, with construction expected to begin in early August to achieve its targeted in-service in the first half of 2018.

PennEast and STEP remain on track for their targeted in-service dates in 2018 as does Stratton Ridge with its 2019 in-service date.

Approval of the NEXUS and TEAL projects remains pending before the FERC due to a lack of quorum. While NEXUS' and TEAL's certificate applications remain pending, the record supporting the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Applications are complete and ready for prompt FERC approval once a quorum is restored. As previously indicated, since the quorum at FERC was not in place by the end of June and the FERC Certificates remain pending before the Commission, a 2017 in-service date is not expected. Once the expected approval is received, a revised 2018 in-service date will be identified.

New to SEP's execution backlog are the Texas-Louisiana Market Projects and the Lambertville-East project that demonstrate SEP's ability to leverage its existing asset footprint and expand its demand-pull business profile. The combined $20 million Texas-Louisiana Market projects are a 157,000 Dth/d expansion of Texas Eastern to serve demand-pull markets along the Gulf Coast region and the $45 million Lambertville-East project will provide 60,000 Dth/d of firm transportation service on Texas Eastern's Zone M3. Both projects are expected to be placed into service in the second half of 2019.

Development Projects.

In June, Access Northeast withdrew its pre-filing application from the FERC Docket to recognize the lack of a uniform energy policy in New England that is required to achieve full regional support of natural gas infrastructure for electric generation. While this procedural action places the FERC process on hold, Access Northeast's partners continue to actively pursue a viable commercial and operational model to address New England's need for additional natural gas pipeline infrastructure.

Earlier this week Texas Eastern announced an open season for its Enhanced Electric Reliability Project to serve electric generators in the PJM Interconnection (PJM) and other demand markets within the region. Given the 40 power generators in close proximity to Texas Eastern, we are well positioned to serve this growing market need and deliver reliability to PJM as the region is seeing an increasing dependence upon natural gas with the retirements of coal and nuclear resources. The open season concludes in mid-September.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use ongoing net income from controlling interests as a measure to evaluate operations of the partnership. This measure is a non-GAAP financial measure as it represents net income from controlling interests, excluding special items. Special items represent certain charges and credits which we believe will not be recurring on a regular basis. We believe that the presentation of ongoing net income from controlling interests provides useful information to investors, as it allows investors to more accurately compare our ongoing performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for ongoing net income from controlling interests is net income from controlling interests.

We use earnings from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and ongoing EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures, as performance measures for Spectra Energy Partners, LP. Ongoing EBITDA represents EBITDA, excluding special items. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and ongoing EBITDA provides useful information to investors, as it allows investors to more accurately compare Spectra Energy Partners, LP's performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for EBITDA and ongoing EBITDA for Spectra Energy Partners, LP is net income.

The primary performance measures used by us to evaluate segment performance are segment EBITDA and Other EBITDA. We consider segment EBITDA and Other EBITDA, which are the GAAP measures used to report segment results, to be good indicators of each segment's operating performance from its continuing operations as they represent the results of our segments' operations before depreciation and amortization without regard to financing methods or capital structures. Our segment EBITDA and Other EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner.

We also use ongoing segment EBITDA as a measure of performance. Ongoing segment EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it represents reported segment EBITDA, excluding special items. We believe that the presentation of ongoing segment EBITDA provides useful information to investors, as it allows investors to more accurately compare a segment's ongoing performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for ongoing segment EBITDA is segment EBITDA.

We also present Distributable Cash Flow (DCF), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of DCF provides useful information to investors, as it represents the cash generation capabilities of the partnership to support distribution growth. We also use ongoing DCF, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it represents DCF, excluding the cash effect of special items. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for DCF and ongoing DCF is net income. We also use DCF coverage, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it represents DCF divided by distributions declared on partnership units. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for DCF coverage is Earnings-Per-Unit (EPU).

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other partnerships because other partnerships may not calculate these measures in the same manner.
