~1,525

1,525 – 1,575

Capital Investment ($ Millions)

 $600 - $650

$2,150 - $2,350

2023 Outlook
With 2023 capital investment of approximately $2.25 billion at the midpoint, the Company expects to deliver total production volumes of 500 to 525 MBOE/d. This range reflects a flat production program relative to 2022. During the first half of the year, Ovintiv plans to bring wells online which were drilled but uncompleted in the fourth quarter of 2022.This will result in slightly higher capital expenditures in the first half of the year.

Inventory Renewal
Over the year, the Company made significant additions to its premium drilling inventory across its asset base. The combination of low-cost bolt-on transactions and organic inventory appraisal and assessment added approximately 450 net premium drilling locations, or approximately twice the number of net wells drilled in 2022 for only $286 million of acquisition capital. The largest share of those additions occurred in the Permian asset where the additions were all offsetting existing company acreage in Martin, Midland, Upton, and Howard counties.

Returns to Shareholders
Through Ovintiv's capital allocation framework, the Company currently returns to shareholders 50% of the previous quarter's Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow after base dividends through share buybacks.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company returned approximately $249 million to shareholders through share buybacks totaling approximately $188 million and its base dividend of approximately $61 million.

Full year shareholder returns totaled approximately $958 million, consisting of share buybacks of approximately $719 million and base dividend payments of approximately $239 million.

During the year, Ovintiv purchased for cancellation, approximately 14.7 million common shares at an average price of $49.08 per share.

First quarter 2023 shareholder returns are expected to total approximately $300 million, consisting of share buybacks of approximately $238 million and base dividend payments of approximately $61 million, bringing total direct shareholder returns since the third quarter of 2021 to approximately $1.4 billion, or approximately 9% of common shares outstanding, assuming the closing share price on February 24, 2023.

Continued Debt Reduction
Ovintiv reduced total long-term debt by approximately $1.2 billion in 2022. This represents approximately $3.3 billion of debt reduction since year-end 2020.

At year-end, the Company had $3.3 billion in total liquidity, which included available credit facilities of $3.5 billion, available uncommitted demand lines of $195 million, and cash and cash equivalents of $5 million, net of outstanding commercial paper of $393 million.

As of year-end, Ovintiv remained investment grade rated by four credit ratings agencies.

Dividend Declared
On February 27, 2023, Ovintiv's Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock payable on March 31, 2023, to shareholders of record as of March 15, 2023.

NOTE 1: Non-GAAP measures  

Certain measures in this news release do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP. These measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry and/or by Ovintiv to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Company's liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, see the Company's website. This news release contains references to non-GAAP measures as follows:

  • Non-GAAP Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash from (used in) operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, and net change in non-cash working capital.
  • Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as Non-GAAP Cash Flow in excess of capital expenditures, excluding net acquisitions and divestitures.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings is a non-GAAP measure defined as net earnings (loss) excluding non-cash items that Management believes reduces the comparability of the Company's financial performance between periods. These items may include, but are not limited to, unrealized gains/losses on risk management, impairments, non-operating foreign exchange gains/losses, and gains /losses on divestitures. Income taxes includes adjustments to normalize the effect of income taxes calculated using the estimated annual effective income tax rate. In addition, any valuation allowances are excluded in the calculation of income taxes.
  • Debt to Adjusted Capitalization is a non-GAAP measure which adjusts capitalization for historical ceiling test impairments that were recorded as at December 31, 2011. Management monitors Debt to Adjusted Capitalization as a proxy for the Company's financial covenant under the Credit Facilities which require debt to adjusted capitalization to be less than 60 percent. Adjusted Capitalization incudes debt, total shareholders' equity and an equity adjustment for cumulative historical ceiling test impairments recorded as at December 31, 2011 in conjunction with the Company's January 1, 2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP.
  • Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which is calculated as long-term debt, including the current portion, divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as trailing 12-month net earnings (loss) before income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairments, accretion of asset retirement obligation, interest, unrealized gains/losses on risk management, foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on divestitures and other gains/losses. Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure monitored by management as an indicator of the Company's overall financial strength.

ADVISORY REGARDING OIL AND GAS INFORMATION – The conversion of natural gas volumes to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) is on the basis of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel. BOE is based on a generic energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent economic value equivalency at the wellhead. Readers are cautioned that BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
