Normalized funds from operations reached C$0.56 in the quarter, compared to C$0.51 in the second quarter of 2020.

AltaGas’ President and CEO Randy Crawford said, “We are enthusiastic about our long-term growth prospects and remain confident on being able to achieve the increased financial guidance that was set concurrent with the first quarter…Our continued focus on execution and strong performance will provide the foundation for ongoing dividend growth and profitable expansion that will uniquely position AltaGas to drive long-term shareholder value creation.”
