Strategic Update and Corporate Guidance

• Athabasca (Thermal Oil): The Thermal Oil division underpins the Company’s strong Free Cash Flow outlook, with production guidance of 33,500 – 35,500 bbl/d and a ~$250 million capital budget. Athabasca has differentiated and significant unrecovered capital balances on its Thermal Oil Assets that ensure a low Crown royalty framework (~7%¹). Leismer is forecasted to remain pre-payout until late 2027¹ (and beyond with incremental project capital) while Hangingstone is forecasted to remain pre-payout beyond 2030¹.

• Consolidated Production Outlook: Athabasca’s consolidated annual production guidance is 37,500 – 39,500 boe/d. Current production is ~40,000 boe/d and with current capital plans the Company is expecting to be at the upper end of guidance and anticipates exiting the year at ~41,000 boe/d.

• Leismer Progressive Growth: The 2025 program at Leismer includes the tie-in of six redrills and four new well pairs on Pad 10 along with continued pad and facility expansion work for the progressive expansion to 40,000 bbl/d. This expansion project is highly economic (~$25,000/bbl/d capital efficiency) and provides flexibility with interim growth targets to ~32,000 bbl/d and ~35,000 bbl/d before achieving the regulatory approved 40,000 bbl/d capacity.

• Duvernay Energy Corporation: The 2025 capital program of ~$75 million will continue production momentum in H2 2025 with an exit target of ~6,000 boe/d. Capital activity includes the completion of a 100% working interest (“WI”) three-well pad that was drilled in 2024, the drilling and completion of a 30% WI four-well pad (spud in Q1 2025) and the construction of a gathering system on operated lands. The capital program in Duvernay Energy Corporation is flexible and designed to be self-funded. The Company has a deep inventory of ~444 gross future drilling locations.

• Free Cash Flow Focus: The Company forecasts consolidated Adjusted Funds Flow between $525 – $550 million¹, including $475 – $500 million from its Thermal Oil assets. Every +US$1/bbl move in West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) and Western Canadian Select (“WCS”) heavy oil impacts annual Adjusted Funds Flow by ~$10 million and ~$17 million, respectively. The 2025 Thermal Oil capital program, including growth initiatives, is fully funded within cash flow down to ~US$48 WTI for the balance of the year. Duvernay Energy is independently funded through its balance sheet and cash flow.

• Capital Allocation Discipline: Athabasca has demonstrated its business resiliency and prudent management through past commodity cycles. The Company is nimble with respect to its operating plans and has levers available to adjust to a volatile macro environment. Preserving a pristine balance sheet is paramount to the strategy.

• Steadfast Focus on Cash Flow Per Share Growth: The Company forecasts ~20% compounded annual cash flow per share¹ growth between 2025 – 2029 driven by investing in attractive capital projects and prioritizing share buybacks with free cash flow.

Athabasca (Thermal Oil) Q1 2025 Highlights and Operations Update

• Production: First quarter production of 34,742 bbl/d (27,025 bbl/d at Leismer & 7,717 bbl/d at Hangingstone).

• Cash Flow: Adjusted Funds Flow of $121.4 million; Operating Income of $135.3 million with an Operating Netback of $44.56/bbl ($46.24/bbl at Leismer & $38.43/bbl at Hangingstone).

• Capital Program: $50.4 million of capital expenditures in Q1, with $43.7 million at Leismer as the Company advances the 40,000 bbl/d progressive growth project.

• Free Cash Flow: $71.0 million of Free Cash Flow supporting 100% return of capital commitment.

Leismer

In Q1 2025, the Company brought six extended redrills on Pad L1 (1,000 – 1,700 meter laterals) on production supporting current production of ~28,000 bbl/d (April 2025). The redrills target bypass pay on legacy pads with initial production rates between 400 - 1,000 bbl/d per well. In 2024, the Company drilled an additional four well pairs on Pad L10 that will maintain production rates at facility capacity for the balance of 2025. Another six well pairs will be drilled in H2 2025.

Activity at Leismer remains focused on advancing progressive growth to 40,000 bbl/d by the end of 2027. The project cost is estimated at $300 million generating a capital efficiency of approximately $25,000/bbl/d. The $300 million will be spent between 2025 and 2027 and includes an estimated $190 million for facility capital and an estimated $110 million for growth wells. The project remains on budget and on schedule with the original sanction plans announced in July 2024. The progressive build provides flexibility with interim growth targets to ~32,000 bbl/d and ~35,000 bbl/d before achieving the regulatory approved 40,000 bbl/d capacity. This winter the Company completed regional infrastructure to Pad L10 and L11 including lease site construction, delineation drilling and pipeline looping. The project scope includes the installation of two new steam generators that were countercyclically acquired during a prior commodity down cycle.

Leismer is forecasted to remain pre-payout from a crown royalty perspective until late 2027¹.

Hangingstone

At Hangingstone two extended reach sustaining well pairs (~1,400 meter average laterals) drilled in 2024 were placed on production in March supporting current production of ~8,900 bbl/d (April 2025). These are the first wells drilled at the project since 2015. The new well pairs have ramped up faster than anticipated, benefiting from favorable reservoir temperatures and pressure supported by offsetting wells. Early performance has exceeded expectations with initial production rates of 800 – 1,000 bbl/d per well.

Hangingstone continues to deliver meaningful cash flow contributions to the Company and also has a pre-payout crown royalty structure beyond 2030¹.

Duvernay Energy Corporation Q1 2025 Highlights and Operations Update

• Production: First quarter production of 2,972 boe/d (73% Liquids).

• Cash Flow: Adjusted Funds Flow of $8.3 million with an Operating Netback of $38.42/boe.

• Capital Program: $13.0 million of capital expenditures included spudding a 30% WI four-well pad and constructing a strategic gathering system.  
  
  

Q1 activity included spudding a four well pad (30% working interest) with average laterals of ~5,000 meters and construction of strategic gathering system connecting its newly operated assets with the Company’s existing operated infrastructure on the joint venture acreage. Completion operations will be phased through the balance of the year with the four well pad (30% WI) expected to be completed in Q3 and three well pad (100% WI) in early Fall. The Company expects to exit the year at ~6,000 boe/d.

Production from wells drilled in 2024 continue to validate DEC’s type curve expectations. The five wells placed on production have averaged IP30’s of ~1,200 boe/d per well (86% Liquids) and IP90s of ~940 boe/d (86% Liquids) per well.

2025 capital is trending ~$10 million lower than original budget and is estimated at ~$75 million, reflecting disciplined execution. Duvernay Energy retains significant operational flexibility with no near-term land expiries and the ability to adjust spending in response to commodity price movements.

Oil and Gas Information

“BOEs" may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. As the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

Initial Production Rates 

Test Results and Initial Production Rates: The well test results and initial production rates provided herein should be considered to be preliminary, except as otherwise indicated. Test results and initial production rates disclosed herein may not necessarily be indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.

Reserves Information

The McDaniel Report was prepared using the assumptions and methodology guidelines outlined in the COGE Handbook and in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities, effective December 31, 2024. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of bitumen, light crude oil and medium crude oil, tight oil, conventional natural gas, shale gas and natural gas liquids 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 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 those reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable 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. Reserves figures described herein have been rounded to the nearest MMbbl or MMboe. For additional information regarding the consolidated reserves and information concerning the resources of the Company as evaluated by McDaniel in the McDaniel Report, please refer to the Company’s AIF.

Reserve Values (i.e. Net Asset Value) is calculated using the estimated net present value of all future net revenue from our reserves, before income taxes discounted at 10%, as estimated by McDaniel effective December 31, 2024 and based on average pricing of McDaniel, Sproule and GLJ as of January 1, 2025.

The 444 gross Duvernay drilling locations referenced include: 87 proved undeveloped locations and 85 probable undeveloped locations for a total of 172 booked locations with the balance being unbooked locations. Proved undeveloped locations and probable undeveloped locations are booked and derived from the Company's most recent independent reserves evaluation as prepared by McDaniel as of December 31, 2024 and account for drilling locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal management estimates. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves or resources (including contingent or prospective). Unbooked locations have been identified by management as an estimation of Athabasca’s multi-year drilling activities expected to occur over the next two decades based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the Company will drill all unbooked drilling locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The drilling locations on which the Company will actually drill wells, including the number and timing thereof is ultimately dependent upon the availability of funding, commodity prices, provincial fiscal and royalty policies, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained and other factors.
