2025-2027 and 2027-2029 fee-based EBITDA/share CAGRs (even though

Keyera reaffirmed its 7-8% 2027-2029 CAGR). Meanwhile, pro forma the

deal, funding arrangements, and the higher capex for 2026, we estimate

that the 2026 debt/EBITDA rises by about 0.3x, with the metric now

declining within its 2.5-3.0x target range by 2028 (versus by the end of

2027). That said, Marketing outperformance and incremental synergies

(likely to be announced later this year) can accelerate this deleveraging.

We like the long-term strategic benefits of this deal.
