FORWARD‐LOOKING INFORMATION AND DEFINITIONS
Summary of Forward‐Looking Statements or Information
Certain information included in this presentation constitutes forward‐looking information under applicable securities legislation. Thisinformation relates to future events or future performance of the Company. Investors are cautioned that reliance on suchinformation may not be appropriate for making investment decisions. Many factors could cause the Company’s actual results,performance or achievements to vary from those described herein. The forward‐looking information contained in this presentation isexpressly qualified by this and other cautionary statements set forth in the continuous disclosure record of the Company.
The reporting and the measurement currency is the Canadian dollar. For the purpose of calculating unit costs, natural gas is convertedto a barrel of oil equivalent (“boe”) using 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas as equal to one barrel of oil unless otherwise stated. The termbarrel of oil equivalent (boe) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio for gas of 6 Mcf:1 boe is basedon an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at thewellhead. This value ratio is significantly different from the energy equivalency ratio of 6:1 and using a 6:1 ratio would be misleadingas an indication of value.
See slide 21 for additional advisories.
NON‐GAAPMEASUREMENTS
References are made to terms commonly used in the oil and gas industry, including operating netback, net debt, and funds flow from(used in) operations. Operating netback is not defined by IFRS in Canada and is referred to as a non‐GAAP measure. Operatingnetback equals per boe revenue less royalties, operating costs and transportation costs. Management utilizes this measure to analyzethe operating performance of its assets and operating areas, to compare results to peers and to evaluate drilling prospects.
Net debt is a non‐GAAP measure that is calculated as working capital (deficiency) less the principal value of senior notes. For this calculation, Cequence uses the principal value of the senior notes rather than the carrying value on the statement of financial position as it reflects the amount that will be repaid upon maturity. Cequence uses net debt as it provides an estimate of the Company’s assets and obligations expected to be settled in cash.
Funds flow from (used in) operations is a non‐GAAP term that represents cash flow from operating activities before adjustments fordecommissioning liabilities expenditures and net changes in non‐cash working capital. The Company evaluates its performance basedon earnings and funds flow from (used in) operations. The Company considers funds flow from (used in) operations a key measure asit demonstrates the Company’s ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment and torepay debt. The Company’s calculation of funds flow from (used in) operations may not be comparable to that reported by othercompanies.
Operating netback is not defined by IFRS in Canada and is referred to as a non‐GAAP measure. Operating netback equals per boerevenue less royalties, operating costs and transportation costs. Management utilizes this measure to analyze operating performanceof its assets and operating areas, compare results to peers and to evaluate drilling prospects.

Forward‐looking statements or informationconcerning Cequence in this presentation may include, but are not limited to, statements or information with respect to: guidance, forecasts and relatedassumptions; expected production growth and cash flow growth and the respective timing thereof; capital spending; expected resource potential and futurereserves; hedging objectives; business strategy and objectives; type curves; drilling, development and exploration plans and the timing, associated costs andresults thereof; future net debt and funds flow; commodity pricing and expected royalties; costs associated with operating in the oil and natural gas business;and future production levels, including the composition thereof. Forward‐looking statements or information are based on a number of factors andassumptions which have been used to develop such statements and information but which may prove to be incorrect. The Company believes that theexpectations reflected in such forward‐looking statements or information are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on forward‐lookingstatements because the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

Discovered Petroleum Initially in Place (“DPIIP”) Resources in Place and Contingent Resources: DPIIP is equivalent to discovered resources and is defined in theCanadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGEH”) as that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in knownaccumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of discovered petroleum initially in place includes production, reserves and contingent resources;the remainder is unrecoverable. Contingent Resources are defined in COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated to be potentially recoverable fromknown accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be economically recoverabledue to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political, and regulatory matters, or a lack ofmarkets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the earlyevaluation stage. The Contingent Resources estimates and the DPIIP estimates are estimates only and the actual results may be greater or less than theestimates provided herein. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources except to the extent identified asproved or probable reserves.
Cequence has presented certain type curves and well economics which are based on the Company’s historical production in the Simonette development area,in addition to production history from analogous Montney developments located in close proximity. Such type curves and well economics are useful inunderstanding management's assumptions of well performance in making investment decisions in relation to development drilling and for determining thesuccess of the performance of development wells; however, such type curves and well economics are not necessarily determinative of the production ratesand performance of existing and future wells. In this presentation, estimated ultimate recovery represents the estimated ultimate recovery associated withthe type curves presented; however, there is no certainty that Cequence will ultimately recover such volumes from the wells it drills.
