• Fully repaid $670 million of debt to acquire the Kaybob Duvernay assets, in addition to reducing net debt by $144 million in 2021.
  
  
• Disciplined 2022 budget, which is expected to generate approximately $1.1 billion of excess cash flow at US$80/bbl WTI.
  
  
• Increasing planned share repurchases to up to $150 million, to be executed by mid-2022, from $100 million announced previously.
  
  
• On track to meet or exceed targets to reduce emissions intensity and inactive wells, highlighting strong ESG practices.

"Our discipline and execution over the past few years positioned us to not only capitalize on strategic opportunities during 2021, but also to begin returning additional capital to shareholders," said Craig Bryksa, President and CEO of Crescent Point. "We are very pleased with our initial success in the Kaybob Duvernay, including our strong operational execution that has resulted in increased rates of return. Due to our continued discipline and focus, we are on track to achieve our near-term leverage targets over the next six months at current commodity prices. As we continue to strengthen our balance sheet we will look to provide increased returns to shareholders in the context of a more defined return of capital framework." 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 

• For the year ended December 31, 2021, adjusted funds flow totaled $1.48 billion, or $2.57 per share diluted, driven by a strong operating netback of $42.43 per boe. In fourth quarter, adjusted funds flow totaled $432.5 million, or $0.74 per share diluted.
  
  
• For the year ended December 31, 2021, development capital expenditures, which included drilling and development, facilities and seismic costs, totaled $624.2 million, in-line with the Company's annual guidance of $625 million.
  
  
• Crescent Point's net debt as at December 31, 2021 was approximately $2.0 billion. The Company fully repaid approximately $670 million of debt incurred to acquire the Kaybob Duvernay assets, in addition to reducing its net debt by $144 million in 2021. In total, approximately $815 million of funds were directed to the balance sheet in 2021, including proceeds from dispositions.
  
  
• As previously announced, Crescent Point successfully renewed and extended its unsecured, covenant-based credit facilities of $2.3 billion with a maturity date of November 2025. The Company retains significant liquidity with an unutilized credit capacity of approximately $2.0 billion as at December 31, 2021.
  
  
• For the year ended December 31, 2021, Crescent Point reported net income of approximately $2.4 billion, primarily driven by a $2.5 billion ($1.9 billion after-tax) reversal of non-cash impairment in second quarter due to an increase in forward commodity prices and the independent engineers' price forecast. In fourth quarter, net income totaled $121.6 million.

RETURN OF CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS

• As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") approved and declared a first quarter 2022 dividend of $0.045 per share, payable on April 1, 2022 to shareholders of record on March 15, 2022. This equates to an annualized dividend of $0.18 per share, an increase of 50 percent from the prior level.
  
  
• The Board has approved the return of additional capital to shareholders given the continued strength in commodity prices and Crescent Point's improving financial position. The Company is increasing its total planned share repurchases to up to $150 million, which it expects to execute by mid-2022, from $100 million announced previously. These planned repurchases were initiated in December 2021 with approximately 8.1 million shares repurchased and cancelled to-date for total consideration of approximately $60 million. Crescent Point has filed notice with the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") of the intention to renew its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"), which is due to expire on March 8, 2022.

Adjusted funds flow, adjusted funds flow per share diluted, excess cash flow, recycle ratio, operating netback, net debt and net debt to adjusted funds flow are specified financial measures - refer to the Specified Financial Measures section in this press release for further information. All financial figures are approximate and in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. This press release contains forward-looking information and references to specified financial measures. Significant related assumptions and risk factors, and reconciliations are described under the Specified Financial Measures, Forward-Looking Statements and Reserves and Drilling Data sections of this press release, respectively. Further information breaking down the production information contained in this press release by product type can be found in the "Product Type Production Information" section of this press release.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Achieved annual average production of 132,683 boe/d in 2021, comprised of over 80 percent oil and liquids, and in-line with the previously increased annual guidance.
  
  
• The Company continues to gain operational momentum in its Kaybob Duvernay play, realizing ongoing operational efficiencies and cost reductions. Recent well costs are trending at approximately $8.25 million, including drilling, completion, equip and tie-in, down from $8.75 million previously announced. Crescent Point has now removed approximately $2.0 million of per well costs, or approximately 20 percent, since entering the play in second quarter 2021. These savings have improved expected full-cycle rates of return and provide additional insulation to the Company's capital budget in the current inflationary environment.
  
  
• Crescent Point's Kaybob Duvernay wells are expected to generate full-cycle rates of return of over 120 percent and a payout of less than a year, at current commodity prices and budgeted cost inflation assumptions. These economics are based on an average of booked Proved plus Probable ("2P") reserves per well within the Company's current drilling program. These returns exclude any potential improvements to recoverable reserves resulting from Crescent Point utilizing a larger frac design than the prior operator. The Company will seek to further enhance returns in the play through ongoing drilling and completions optimization.
  
  
• Crescent Point recently brought onstream its first fully operated five-well pad in the Kaybob Duvernay, with approximately 30 days of production data now available. Initial production ("IP") rates from these wells exceeded the 2P booked type well expectations, with an average IP rate of over 825 boe/d per well (74% condensate, 6% NGL and 20% shale gas). Crescent Point also completed and brought on production two multi-well pads, with a 50 percent working interest, as part of its previously announced farm-in agreement with a Kaybob Duvernay operator. The combined 30-day IP rate, net to the Company, for these three pads totaled over 11,000 boe/d (51% condensate, 9% NGL and 40% shale gas). This data includes a normal clean-up period for each well where pressure is maintained and production rates are moderated.
  
  
• Crescent Point continued to enhance returns by realizing efficiencies across its asset base in 2021, including reducing its drilling days within its Viewfield, Shaunavon and North Dakota resource plays by 10 to 15 percent. Such improvements provide the Company with sustainable cost efficiencies and further highlight its commitment to ongoing operational execution.
  
  
• The Company continued to advance its various decline mitigation initiatives in 2021, which included the successful conversion of approximately 135 producing wells to water injection wells. Crescent Point expects to execute a similar waterflood program in 2022. The Company also continues to progress its other decline mitigation programs, including the expansion of its polymer floods and pilot program to test carbon dioxide (CO₂) sequestration and enhanced oil recovery in Saskatchewan.
  
  
• As part of its continued commitment to strong environmental, social and governance ("ESG") practices, Crescent Point increased its target for emissions intensity reduction to 50 percent, up from 30 percent, by 2025, as previously announced. This target includes a 70 percent reduction in methane emissions. The Company is on track to meet or exceed its existing targets ahead of schedule and plans to revisit its current emissions reduction goals in second quarter 2022 in coordination with the release of its annual sustainability report. Crescent Point also made progress toward its target to reduce its inactive well count by approximately 30 percent by 2031 by safely retiring over 500 inactive wells during the year. The Company plans to retire approximately 350 additional wells in 2022.

RESERVES HIGHLIGHTS

"Our 2021 reserves and strong recycle ratios benefited from the addition of the Kaybob Duvernay asset, high-return development and improved recoveries from our decline mitigation programs," said Bryksa. "As a result, our proved developed producing net asset value increased by approximately 15 percent on a per share basis, excluding year-over-year changes in pricing. We remain encouraged about the Kaybob Duvernay assets and the opportunity we have to further enhance shareholder value by achieving additional cost efficiencies, improving well productivity and adding reserves."   

• Crescent Point's 2P reserves increased by seven percent at year-end 2021 to 712.4 million boe ("MMboe"), Proved ("1P") reserves by 16 percent to 478.4 MMboe and Proved Developed Producing ("PDP") reserves by 17 percent to 306.4 MMboe.
  
  
• On a 2P basis, the Company achieved reserve additions of 95.5 MMboe, replacing 197 percent of its 2021 production. Crescent Point benefited from the strategic Kaybob Duvernay acquisition, organic reserves additions, improved recovery factors associated with its decline mitigation programs and economic factors due to higher pricing. The Company's 2P reserve life index ("RLI") is approximately 15 years.
  
  
• Crescent Point generated 2P finding, development and acquisition ("FD&A") costs, including change in future development capital ("FDC"), of $19.68 per boe, producing a recycle ratio of 2.2 times based on an operating netback of $42.43 per boe in 2021.
  
  
• On a PDP basis, the Company generated finding and development ("F&D") costs, including change in FDC, of $12.22 per boe, producing a recycle ratio of 3.5 times. Crescent Point's PDP FD&A costs, including change in FDC, totaled $15.93 per boe, resulting in a recycle ratio of 2.7 times.
  
  
• Crescent Point's 2P and 1P net asset value ("NAV") was $16.56 and $11.18 per share, respectively, at year-end 2021, based on independent engineering pricing. On a PDP basis, NAV was $7.62 per share and increased by approximately 15 percent compared to the prior year, adjusting for year-over-year changes in pricing and excluding land and seismic. This NAV forecast assumes an average WTI price of approximately US$69/bbl in the first five years.
  
  
• Crescent Point's 2P FDC increased by approximately $400 million, or 10 percent, to $4.6 billion primarily driven by location additions from its Kaybob Duvernay play. This FDC equates to a conservative program that is also aligned with the Company's current level of capital spending and five year plan.

In contrast to the prior year, Crescent Point elected to use a single independent evaluator to determine its 2021 corporate reserves, providing consistency across the evaluation process. Certain reserves metrics, including F&D costs, FD&A costs and recycle ratios, may not be meaningful or comparable year-over-year given significant portfolio changes executed over the last three years. Additional information on the Company's 2021 reserves is provided in its Annual Information Form ("AIF") for the year-ended December 31, 2021.

OUTLOOK

Crescent Point's strong 2021 results highlight the continued success of its operational, financial and strategic execution.

The Company is on track to meet its 2022 average production guidance of 133,000 to 137,000 boe/d within its development capital expenditures budget of $825 to $900 million. This budget remains unchanged, despite a stronger commodity price environment, as management remains disciplined and focused on generating significant excess cash flow to create shareholder value. Crescent Point's capital expenditures guidance also remains unchanged, despite continued cost inflation pressures, due to the Company's ongoing efforts to realize internal efficiencies and its supply chain management. Assuming US$80/bbl WTI for the remainder of the year, Crescent Point's budget is expected to generate approximately $1.1 billion of excess cash flow in 2022.

The Company continues to prioritize its balance sheet as it moves closer to achieving its near-term leverage target of approximately 1.0 times net debt to adjusted funds flow at US$55/bbl WTI, or approximately $1.3 to $1.4 billion of absolute net debt. At current commodity prices, Crescent Point expects to achieve this near-term debt target over the next six months.

The Company will look to provide increased returns to shareholders and a more defined return of capital framework as the balance sheet continues to strengthen. Based on Crescent Point's continued successes and improving outlook, the Company is increasing its total planned share repurchases to up to $150 million, which it expects to execute by mid-2022, from $100 million announced previously.

Crescent Point is committed to a model that returns capital to shareholders while also generating additional returns through debt-adjusted per share growth.

Net debt to adjusted funds flow is a specified financial measure - refer to the Specified Financial Measures section in this press release for further information.

Recycle ratio is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as operating netback before hedging divided by FD&A costs. Recycle ratios may not be comparable year-over-year given significant changes executed over the last three years. Recycle ratio is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry and is used to measure profitability on a per boe basis.

Excess cash flow forecasted for 2022 is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure and is calculated consistently with the measure disclosed in the Company's MD&A. Refer to the Specified Financial Measures section of the Company's MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Management believes the presentation of the specified financial measures above provide useful information to investors and shareholders as the measures provide increased transparency and the ability to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.

Notice to US Readers 

The oil and natural gas reserves contained in this press release have generally been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects of United States or other foreign disclosure standards. For example, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") generally permits oil and gas issuers, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves (as defined in SEC rules), but permits the optional disclosure of "probable reserves" and "possible reserves" (each as defined in SEC rules). Canadian securities laws require oil and gas issuers, in their filings with Canadian securities regulators, to disclose not only proved reserves (which are defined differently from the SEC rules) but also probable reserves and permits optional disclosure of "possible reserves", each as defined in NI 51-101. Accordingly, "proved reserves", "probable reserves" and "possible reserves" disclosed in this news release may not be comparable to US standards, and in this news release, Crescent Point has disclosed reserves designated as "proved plus probable reserves". Probable reserves are higher-risk and are generally believed to be less likely to be accurately estimated or recovered than proved reserves. "Possible reserves" are higher risk than "probable reserves" and are generally believed to be less likely to be accurately estimated or recovered than "probable reserves".  In addition, under Canadian disclosure requirements and industry practice, reserves and production are reported using gross volumes, which are volumes prior to deduction of royalties and similar payments. The SEC rules require reserves and production to be presented using net volumes, after deduction of applicable royalties and similar payments. Moreover, Crescent Point has determined and disclosed estimated future net revenue from its reserves using forecast prices and costs, whereas the SEC rules require that reserves be estimated using a 12-month average price, calculated as the arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period.  Consequently, Crescent Point's reserve estimates and production volumes in this news release may not be comparable to those made by companies using United States reporting and disclosure standards. Further, the SEC rules are based on unescalated costs and forecasts.

All amounts in the news release are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

Forward-Looking Statements

Any "financial outlook" or "future oriented financial information" in this press release, as defined by applicable securities legislation has been approved by management of Crescent Point. Such financial outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and "forward-looking information" for the purposes of Canadian securities regulation (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). The Company has tried to identify such forward-looking statements by use of such words as "could", "should", "can", "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "will", "may", "intend", "projected", "sustain", "continues", "strategy", "potential", "projects", "grow", "take advantage", "estimate", "well-positioned" and other similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements pertaining, among other things, to the following: excess cash flow generation in 2022; timing and amount of share repurchases and renewal of NCIB program; retention of significant liquidity; the risk management program protects cash flow generation; the Company remaining disciplined in its hedging program; the Company's strengthening financial position; well cost savings providing additional insulation to the Company's capital budget in the current inflationary environment; the Company seeking to further enhance returns in the Kaybob-Duvernay play, through ongoing drilling and completions optimization; sustainable cost efficiencies; Kaybob Duvernay wells generating full-cycle rates of return of over 120 percent and payout in less than a year, at current commodity priced and budged cost inflation assumptions;  the Company's 2022 waterflood program; continued progression of decline mitigation programs; target for emissions intensity reduction to 50 percent of 2017 levels by 2025, including a 70 percent reduction in methane emissions (compared to 2017 levels); Crescent Point on track to meet or exceed its existing emissions targets before 2025 and plans to revisit its current emissions reduction goals in second quarter 2022; plans to retire approximately 350 wells in 2022; prospects for the Kaybob Duvernay assets; the opportunity to enhance shareholder value through potential cost efficiencies, productivity improvements, new locations and reserves; 2P reserves life index; the Company is on track to meet its 2022 average production guidance of 133,000 to 137,000 boe/d within its development capital expenditures budget of $825 to $900 million; management remains disciplined and focused on generating significant excess cash flow to create shareholder value; Crescent Point's 5 year plan and related FDC spending; assuming US$80/bbl WTI, Crescent Point's budget is expected to generate approximately $1.1 billion of excess cash flow in 2022; prioritized balance sheet; moving toward the Company's near-term leverage target of approximately 1.0 times net debt to adjusted funds flow at US$55/bbl WTI, or approximately $1.3 to $1.4 billion of absolute net debt; at current commodity prices, the Company expects to achieve its near-term debt target over the next six months; Crescent Point's plans to provide increased returns to shareholders alongside a more defined return of capital framework as the balance sheet strengthens; the Company's commitment to a model that returns capital to shareholders while also generating additional returns through debt-adjusted per share growth; Crescent Point's 2022 production and development capital expenditures guidance; and other information for Crescent Point's 2022 guidance, including capitalized G&A, reclamation activities, capital lease payments, operating expenses and royalties.

Statements relating to "reserves" are also deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the reserves can be profitably produced in the future. Actual reserve values may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

Unless otherwise noted, reserves referenced herein are given as at December 31, 2021. Also, estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates and future net revenue for all properties due to the effect of aggregation. All required reserve information for the Company is contained in its Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is accessible at www.sedar.com.

With respect to disclosure contained herein regarding resources other than reserves, there is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources and there is significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate recoverability of such resources.

All forward-looking statements are based on Crescent Point's beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the assumption was made. Crescent Point believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this report should not be unduly relied upon. By their nature, such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated, expressed or implied by such statements, including those material risks discussed in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2021 under "Risk Factors" and our Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2021, under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Information". The material assumptions are disclosed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2021, under the headings "Overview", "Commodity Derivatives", "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Guidance". In addition, risk factors include: financial risk of marketing reserves at an acceptable price given market conditions; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas, decisions or actions of OPEC and non-OPEC countries in respect of supplies of oil and gas; delays in business operations or delivery of services due to pipeline restrictions, rail blockades, outbreaks, blowouts and business closures and social distancing measures mandated by public health authorities in response to COVID-19; uncertainty regarding the benefits and costs of acquisitions and dispositions; failure to complete acquisitions and dispositions; the risk of carrying out operations with minimal environmental impact; industry conditions including changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; risks and uncertainties related to oil and gas interests and operations on Indigenous lands; economic risk of finding and producing reserves at a reasonable cost; uncertainties associated with partner plans and approvals; operational matters related to non-operated properties; increased competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and undeveloped lands; competition for and availability of qualified personnel or management; incorrect assessments of the value and likelihood of acquisitions and dispositions, and exploration and development programs; unexpected geological, technical, drilling, construction, processing and transportation problems; availability of insurance; fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility; general economic, market and business conditions, including uncertainty in the demand for oil and gas and economic activity in general as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; uncertainties associated with regulatory approvals; uncertainty of government policy changes; uncertainty regarding the benefits and costs of dispositions; failure to complete acquisitions and dispositions; uncertainties associated with credit facilities and counterparty credit risk; changes in income tax laws, tax laws, crown royalty rates and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry; the wide-ranging impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including on demand, health and supply chain; and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and Crescent Point's future course of action depends on management's assessment of all information available at the relevant time.

Additional information on these and other factors that could affect Crescent Point's operations or financial results are included in Crescent Point's reports on file with Canadian and U.S. securities regulatory authorities. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information, which is given as of the date it is expressed herein. Crescent Point undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required to do so pursuant to applicable law.

Product Type Production Information

The Company's annual aggregate production for 2021 and 2020, the aggregate average production for fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020, and the references to "natural gas" and "crude oil", reported in this Press Release consist of the following product types, as defined in NI 51-101 and using a conversion ratio of 6 mcf : 1 bbl where applicable:

	Three months ended December 31		Year ended December 31
	2021	2020	2021	2020
Light & Medium Crude Oil (bbl/d)	15,517	21,025	17,859	20,842

Total (boe/d)	130,407	111,217	132,683	121,642

NI 51-101 includes condensate within the natural gas liquids (NGLs) product type. The Company has disclosed condensate as combined with crude oil and/or separately from other natural gas liquids in this press release since the price of condensate as compared to other natural gas liquids is currently significantly higher and the Company believes that this crude oil and condensate presentation provides a more accurate description of its operations and results therefore.

DEFINITIONS

Finding and development (F&D) costs are calculated by dividing the development capital expenditures by the applicable reserves additions. F&D costs can include or exclude changes to future development capital costs. 

Finding, development and acquisition costs (FD&A) are equivalent to F&D costs plus the costs of acquiring and disposing particular assets.

Full cycle rate of return is the internal rate of return of a well including the drilling, completion, equipping, tie-in and facility costs of the project.

Future development capital (FDC) reflects the best estimate of the cost required to bring undeveloped proved and probable reserves on production. Changes in FDC can result from acquisition and disposition activities, development plans or changes in capital efficiencies due to inflation or reductions in service costs and/or improvements to drilling and completion methods.

Net asset value (NAV) or 2P NAV is a snapshot in time as at year-end, and is based on the Company's reserves evaluated using the independent evaluators forecast for future prices, costs and foreign exchange rates. The Company's NAV is calculated on a before tax basis and is the sum of the present value of proved and probable reserves based on three evaluators' average (McDaniel, GLJ Ltd. and Sproule Associates Ltd.) December 31, 2021 escalated price forecast, the fair value for the Company's oil and gas hedges based on such December 31, 2021 escalated price forecast, and less outstanding net debt. The NAV per share is calculated on a fully diluted basis.

N1 51-101 means "National Instrument 51-101 - Standards for Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities".

Recycle Ratio is calculated as operating netback divided by F&D or FD&A and is based on the netbacks reported above.

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on the analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Proved reserves are reserves estimated to have a high degree of certainty of recoverability. Probable reserves are less certain to be recoverable than proved reserves and possible reserves are less certain than probable reserves. 

Reserves Life Index is calculated as proved plus probable reserves divided by production.

Reserves and Drilling Data

The reserves information contained in this press release has been prepared in accordance with NI 51-101.

Where applicable, a barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6mcf:1bbl) has been used based on an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different than the energy equivalency of the 6:1 conversion ratio, utilizing the 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.

Initial production is for a limited time frame only (30 days) and may not be indicative of future performance. Booked type well data was audited by independent reserves evaluator, McDaniel, effective December 31, 2021.

This press release contains metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, including "netbacks", "F&D costs", "FD&A costs", "FDC", "NAV", "recycle ratio", "payout ratio" and "reserve life index". These terms do not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and, therefore, should not be used to make such comparisons. Readers are cautioned as to the reliability of oil and gas metrics used in this press release.

F&D costs, including change in FDC, and FD&A costs have been presented in this news release because they provide a useful measure of capital efficiency. F&D costs and FD&A costs, including land, facility and seismic expenditures and excluding change in FDC have also been presented in this news release because they provide a useful measure of capital efficiency.

Management uses recycle ratio for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare the Company's performance over time. 

Payout is the point at which all costs associated with leasing, exploring, drilling and operating have been recovered from the production of a well. It is an indication of profitability.

NAV is an estimate of the value of the Company's net assets.

Netback is calculated on a per boe basis as oil and gas sales, less royalties, operating and transportation expenses and realized derivative gains and losses. Netback is used by management to measure operating results on a per boe basis to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of crude oil, natural gas and NGL reserves and the future cash flows attributed to such reserves. The reserve and associated cash flow information set forth above are estimates only. In general, estimates of economically recoverable crude oil, natural gas and NGL reserves and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the properties, production rates, ultimate reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditures, marketability of oil and natural gas, royalty rates, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all of which may vary materially. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves attributable to any particular group of properties, classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues associated with reserves prepared by different engineers, or by the same engineers at different times, may vary. The Company's actual production, revenues, taxes and development and operating expenditures with respect to its reserves will vary from estimates thereof and such variations could be material.

Individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves for all properties due to the effects of aggregation. This press release contains estimates of the net present value of the Company's future net revenue from our reserves. Such amounts do not represent the fair market value of our reserves. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company's reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered.

The reserve data provided in this news release presents only a portion of the disclosure required under National Instrument 51-101. All of the required information will be contained in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2021, which will be filed on SEDAR (accessible at www.sedar.com) and EDGAR (accessible at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml) on or before March 3, 2022 and further supplemented by Material Change Reports as applicable.
