Pembina Pipeline (NYSE: PBA) reported Q3 EPS of $0.60, $0.16 better than the analyst estimate of $0.44.
The prospects for future growth, both within the base business and further extensions of our value chain, remain robust. "We are as rich in growth opportunities as we have ever been, which is a testament to both our customers and the underlying attractiveness of the WCSB," stated Mick Dilger, Pembina's President and Chief Executive Officer.
As previously announced, Pembina was pleased this quarter to update its 2018 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $2.75 to $2.85 billion, up from $2.65 to $2.75 billion. "Pembina's base business is performing extremely well. We are seeing increased throughput on our conventional pipelines and fractionators, strong results from the assets acquired previously from Veresen and higher marketing revenues due to strong NGL frac spreads and oil price volatility," said Scott Burrows, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Mr. Dilger concluded, "We are operating a strong and growing base business while extending our value chain by pursuing three exciting projects to access global markets, and we are doing so within our financial guardrails. Our strong business performance has contributed to setting new operational and financial records in each quarter this year, and our future opportunities are numerous and exciting," concluded Mr. Dilger.
