( " AltaGas " or the " Company " ) ( TSX : ALA ) today reported third quarter 2021 financial results and provided an update on the Company's operations . HIGHLIGHTS ( all financial figures are unaudited and in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted ) " " • Normalized FFO per share¹ of $ 0.61 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $ 0.40 in the third quarter of 2020 , representing 53 % year - over - year growth and continues to provide the foundation for increased returns of capital to shareholders and to fund ongoing organic expansion . Normalized EPS¹ of $ 0.02 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $ 0.04 in the third quarter of 2020 and positions AltaGas well to deliver on 2021 financial guidance . Normalized EBITDA¹ of $ 244 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $ 213 million in third quarter of 2020 , representing 15 % year - over - year growth . Results reflected strong execution across the platform , particularly within the Midstream segment which demonstrated robust growth across the business . Midstream normalized EBITDA of $ 186 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $ 114 million in the third quarter of 2020 , representing a 63 % year - over - year increase . Performance included record global export volumes of liquified petroleum gases ( LPGs ) that averaged approximately 105,000 Bbls / d to Asia , an 11 % year - over - year increase in gathering and processing volumes , and a 15 % year - over - year increase in fractionation and liquids handling volumes . Utilities normalized EBITDA of $ 62 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $ 80 million in the third quarter of 2020. The largest factors behind the year - over - year decrease were the one - time pension accounting adjustment in the third quarter of 2020 and the unfavourable impact of the CAD / USD exchange rate , partially offset by continued Accelerated Pipeline Replacement ( ARP ) investments and the impact of the Maryland and D.C. rate cases . Washington Gas received approval from the Maryland Public Service Commission ( PSC ) to support the Piscataway Bioenergy Project , which is AltaGas ' first renewable natural gas ( RNG ) project in partnership with the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission ( WSSC Water ) to transform biowaste into renewable energy . Subsequent to quarter - end , AltaGas filed an application with the Canada Energy Regulator for a 25 - year butane export license for 40,000 Bbls / d .
