3 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 Delphi s continued success in the development of its liquids-rich Montney play, cost reduction initiatives and the Company s ability to generate marketing income through its excess firm transportation on the Alliance pipeline system have contributed to significant growth in the Company s adjusted funds flow of 53 percent and 67 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 over the respective comparative periods in Delphi s operating netback before risk management in the third quarter was $23.01 per boe while the corresponding cash netback was $17.46 per boe, compared to $11.52 per boe and $6.55 per boe in the comparative period in Delphi was active in the field drilling four (2.60 net) wells, two (1.30 net) of which were brought on production in the last few days of September. Although these wells had little impact on quarterly production of 9,514 boe/d, they will contribute to expected strong production results in the fourth quarter. Production volumes in the third quarter were negatively impacted by approximately 800 boe/d due to unscheduled third party processing plant outages. Field condensate production was 2,196 bbls/d, accounting for 23 percent of production on a boe basis and 51 percent of crude oil and natural gas revenues. Total field condensate and natural gas liquids production accounted for 37 percent of production on a boe basis while contributing 72 percent of crude oil and natural gas revenues. In comparison, in the third quarter of 2017, total field condensate and natural gas liquids production accounted for 36 percent of production on a boe basis while contributing 54 percent of crude oil and natural gas revenues. Operating, transportation and general and administrative costs combined are $3.2 million or 21 percent lower than in the the second quarter of 2018, and $3.0 million or 20 percent less than in the third quarter of Lower operating and transportation costs are partially due to the commissioning of the amine facility and the corresponding shift of volumes onto the NGTL system. Delphi shipped approximately 60 percent of its natural gas into the Chicago market and the remainder was sold in Alberta through the NGTL pipeline system. Delphi s realized natural gas price, before risk management and including marketing income, was $3.06 per mcf, more than double the average AECO benchmark price of $1.19 per mcf. While the shift of volumes from the Chicago market to the AECO market in the third quarter had the impact of reducing the average realized price of our natural gas, it was more than offset by savings in operating and transportation costs and increased marketing income generated from the additional excess Alliance firm transportation. The proportion of natural gas sold in the Chicago market is expected to return to 90 percent once the Alliance lateral pipeline to the Bigstone West gas plant is reactivated which is expected to occur in Net debt which includes bank debt, working capital deficiency, senior secured notes, and the unused take-or-pay contract liability at the end of the quarter was $163.4 million. Delphi has significant financial liquidity having only $55 million currently drawn on its $105 million senior credit facility. NATURAL GAS MARKETING DELIVERING PREMIUM PRICING Delphi has a total of 57 mmcf/d of firm and priority interruptible service on the Alliance pipeline system and 24 mmcf/d of firm service on the NGTL pipeline system. All of Delphi s natural gas hedges are focused on the more robust Chicago delivery point. Delphi continues to generate marketing income from the excess service it holds on Alliance through a combination of temporary assignment to other shippers at a premium over cost or through the purchase of natural gas in Alberta or British Columbia for sale in Chicago. COMMODITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM STABILIZING REALIZED PRICES The Company has continued its active forward-looking hedging strategy, locking in strong natural gas and WTI pricing into 2019 and The recent widening of condensate price differentials is generally viewed as a short term issue with differentials normalizing into the second half of Delphi s realized prices for condensate and NGLs are well protected by WTI crude oil hedges, equal to approximately 85 percent of its liquids production, at an average price of C$85.73 per bbl for calendar year 2019 compared to the current strip price of approximately C$73.90 per bbl. 3

WEST BIGSTONE OPERATIONS CONTINUE TO DELIVER SUPERIOR WELL RESULTS The delineation success at West Bigstone combined with the anticipated benefits of multi-well pad development are the fundamental drivers behind Delphi s decision to accelerate 2019 capital spending into the fourth quarter of While pad development extends the cycle time from spud to first production, the modest impact of the delay is significantly outweighed by the estimated well cost savings and productivity gains expected. Delphi has finished drilling the first horizontal Montney well on its inaugural four-well pad at 02/ W5 ( 02/15-10 ) in West Bigstone. Because of operational efficiencies gained through pad development, particularly through the completion of the wells, the Company has installed a hybrid completion liner at 02/15-10 allowing for 80 discrete fracs in the horizontal. Multi-well pad operations allow for a frac program of this scale as it would otherwise be cost prohibitive on a single well pad. The 80 stage completion will be almost 25 percent more stages than Delphi has pumped to date in a single well. The W5 ( ) well that came on production in May of 2018, and was a key success leading to pad development at West Bigstone, was completed with 65 stages. Through further frac design innovations and efficiencies inherent in pad operations, the planned 80 stage frac is expected to cost approximately 20 percent less than the 65 stage completion at Over the first five months on production, has produced 0.6 bcf of raw natural gas and 76,000 bbls of 49 degree API field condensate. The immediate offset to at 00/ W5 ( 00/15-10 ) that tested at similar field condensate rates to the 16-10, has recently been brought on production through the Company s 100 percent owned Negus processing facility. OUTLOOK Delphi projects that over a three-year period (2019 to 2021) in a scenario where capital spending equates to adjusted funds flow, production would increase by approximately 30 percent and net debt to trailing adjusted funds flow will be reduced to below 2.0 times. In this scenario, Delphi would expect to outspend adjusted funds flow in 2019 and underspend in 2020 and 2021, while drilling 37 wells. With a significant inventory of drilling locations on 128 undeveloped sections of land, Delphi has the potential to considerably increase production and adjusted funds flow from the Bigstone property. It is expected that the Company s adjusted funds flow growth will continue to outpace overall production growth, as a result of the increasing percentage of condensate and focus on cash cost reductions. Condensate differentials, which historically have had low volatility, expanded along with differentials for Canadian heavy and light crude oils commencing in September. This was due to a number of factors including a longer than expected shutdown of the Strathcona refinery in Edmonton and seasonal refinery turnarounds in the U.S. Midwest resulting in the filling of storage in Edmonton and the apportionment of crude export pipelines, as well as feeder pipelines bringing crude and condensate to Edmonton. Apportionment of feeder pipelines bringing condensate to Edmonton will continue until storage levels are reduced to normal levels which is expected to take a number of months. While we anticipate that Delphi will be able to sell all its condensate production throughout the period of apportionment, the Company will be impacted by the higher condensate differentials, particularly as the apportioned volumes will be sold on the spot market where we expect higher differentials than for monthly sales. The fundamentals for condensate remain strong, with more than half of demand continuing to be met by higher cost condensate being imported by pipelines and rail. It is still the most under-supplied and highest value commodity Delphi and the industry produces. Given the Company s reconfirmed borrowing base of its $105 million senior secured credit facility with only $55 million drawn and its significant in-the-money hedge position on both WTI and Chicago natural gas prices, Delphi remains well positioned to execute its planned capital program on its liquids-rich Montney asset at Bigstone while maintaining financial flexibility. 4

5 Delphi s guidance for production in the fourth quarter of 2018 remains unchanged with the transition to pad drilling. Net debt to adjusted funds flow is projected to increase during the drilling and completion of the four-well pad at West Bigstone but by the second quarter of 2019, as production volumes from the pad materialize, leverage metrics are expected to be reduced below current levels. Delphi intends to release its 2019 drilling plans and guidance in the first quarter of

Delphi commenced construction of a 60,000 cubic metre frac water storage cell which will facilitate completion operations for multi-well development pads and reduce completion costs. Due to wet weather conditions in the field, the completion of the water cell has been delayed to the fourth quarter of In the first nine months of 2018, Delphi invested $64.0 million, of which 76 percent was directed on drilling and completion operations. Delphi drilled eight (5.20 net) wells and performed completion operations on eight (5.20 net) wells in its Bigstone area. Two (1.30 net) of the wells completed were drilled in the fourth quarter of Approximately 21 percent of the capital invested was directed to facilities including the construction of the Company s amine processing facility and infrastructure required to bring nine (5.85 net) wells on-stream. One (0.65 net) of the wells brought on-stream in 2018 was completed during the fourth quarter of The amine processing facility is capable of sweetening up to 17 million cubic feet per day ( mmcf/d ) of gross raw Montney natural gas prior to routing it through its 25 percent owned Bigstone sweet natural gas plant for final processing and shipment through the Nova Gas Transmission system ( NGTL ). In addition, Delphi installed a battery and chemical natural gas sweetening unit at its W5 ( ) well at West Bigstone, which is the first Montney well to be tied-in at the Company s 100 percent owned Negus sweet gas plant in West Bigstone. 8

Only two (1.30 net) wells were brought on-stream during the third quarter and did not have a significant impact on production as the wells were brought on-stream during the last few of days of September. Production for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 averaged 9,885 boe/d, a 24 percent increase over the comparative period in Incremental production from bringing on 15 (9.8 net) wells since the third quarter of 2017 was partially offset by natural declines and curtailments due to the shut-in of a third party compressor for the majority of the second quarter and third party processing plant constraints in the third quarter of In the first nine months of 2018, Montney production was approximately 92 percent of the Company s total production, up from 89 percent in the first nine months of Delphi s production portfolio for the third quarter of 2018 was weighted 23 percent to field condensate, 14 percent to natural gas liquids and 63 percent to natural gas on a boe basis. This compares to a production portfolio for the comparative quarter in 2017 that was weighted 22 percent to field condensate, 15 percent to natural gas liquids and 63 percent to natural gas on a boe basis. 9

Natural Gas After commissioning of the amine processing facility during the second quarter of 2018, Delphi now ships approximately 60 percent of its natural gas production through the Alliance pipeline system into the Chicago market. Chicago City Gate is the primary benchmark for Delphi s natural gas sales in the United States. The remainder of Delphi s natural gas production is sold in Alberta on the NGTL system. The AECO 5A price is the primary benchmark for the Company s natural gas sales in Alberta. The Chicago City Gate benchmark natural gas prices for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased in comparison to the same periods in 2017 primarily due to increased supply into the Chicago market. The average AECO benchmark natural gas prices weakened compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to growing natural gas supplies from Western Canada relative to the limited transportation capabilities to move natural gas out of Western Canada. Natural Gas Liquids Natural gas liquids include ethane, propane, butane, pentane, and plant condensate and are generally priced off light oil and natural gas prices. Ethane prices are correlated to natural gas prices while propane and butane prices trade at a discount to light oil prices depending on supply/demand conditions. Natural gas liquids pricing has generally been supported by improvements in West Texas Intermediate ( WTI ) crude oil prices. Crude Oil Global crude oil prices continued to strengthen in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, with the WTI benchmark price averaging 44 percent and 35 percent higher than the comparative periods in The improvement is primarily due to a re-balancing of supply and demand for crude oil as well as lower global crude oil inventories. All of Delphi s condensate production is delivered and sold in Edmonton, Alberta through Pembina s pipeline systems. The price that Delphi receives for its condensate is primarily driven by the price of WTI, adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, transportation costs and quality differentials. During the last month of the third quarter of 2018, Edmonton condensate experienced widening differentials to WTI principally due to full storage in Edmonton and infrastructure constraints. Demand for condensate in Alberta remains positive with peak blending season just around the corner and refineries coming back on after the turnaround season. 10

11 Canadian/United States Exchange Rate The value of the Canadian dollar against its U.S. counterpart averaged U.S. $0.76 and U.S. $0.78 for the three and nine months ended September 30, As a producer of natural gas sold in the United States, an increase in the Canadian dollar has a negative effect on the price received for production.

In May of 2018, the Company commissioned its amine processing facility, allowing up to 11 mmcf/d net raw Montney natural gas to be processed at its 25 percent owned Bigstone sweet natural gas plant for final processing and shipment through NGTL. In addition, the Company s 100 percent owned Negus sweet gas plant in West Bigstone is tied into the NGTL system. The remaining Montney natural gas production is processed at sour gas processing facilities that are dually connected to the Alliance pipeline system for shipment into Chicago, Illinois or NGTL. The majority of Delphi s non-core properties are tied-in to NGTL. In the three months ended September 30, 2018, approximately 60 percent of Delphi s natural gas was shipped on Alliance and sold in the Chicago market with the remainder sold in Alberta. 11

12 Delphi generally receives a higher price for its natural gas per mcf due to its high heat content. Differentials for marketing are caused by differences between the daily and monthly benchmark price indices. Approximately 70 percent of the natural gas volumes that were shipped on the Alliance pipeline system were sold with reference to the monthly index and the remainder of the volumes were sold with reference to the daily index. The majority of natural gas volumes shipped on NGTL are sold with reference to AECO 5A index and the remainder with reference to AECO 7A. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, Delphi s realized natural gas price before risk management contracts decreased 23 percent and 22 percent in comparison to the same periods in 2017 primarily due to a decrease in benchmark pricing and an increase of natural gas sales volumes sold in Alberta which sustained lower relative prices. Including risk management contracts and marketing income, Delphi s natural gas price was $3.02 per mcf and $3.42 per mcf for the three and nine months ended September 30, Realized field condensate prices before risk management contracts were 56 percent and 33 percent higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017 primarily due to an improvement in benchmark prices. The impact of improved benchmark prices was partially offset by a widening differential between WTI and Edmonton condensate pricing. Delphi s realized natural gas liquids price for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased 57 percent and 50 percent compared to the same period in 2017 as a result of improved benchmark prices for all natural gas liquids. RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES Delphi enters into financial commodity contracts as part of its risk management program to manage commodity price fluctuations designed to protect cash flows through to simple payout on the drilling and completion portion of its capital program. With respect to financial contracts, which are derivative financial instruments, management has elected not to use hedge accounting and consequently records the fair value of its natural gas and crude oil financial contracts on the statement of financial position at each reporting period with the change in the fair value being classified as unrealized gains and losses in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

14 U.S Forward Exchange Contracts Delphi sells the majority of its natural gas in the Chicago market in U.S. dollars. In order to mitigate the U.S. to Canadian dollar fluctuation, Delphi has entered into the following U.S. dollar forward exchange contracts: Time Period Average Notional U.S. $ Average Exchange Rate (U.S.$ to Cdn$) May 2015 December January 2018 December January 2018 December April 2018 December January 2019 December January 2019 December January 2019 December January 2020 December Fair value of Delphi s risk management contracts The fair value of the financial contracts outstanding as at September 30, 2018 is estimated to be a net liability of $11.0 million primarily due to an increase in the benchmark price for oil price futures relative to Delphi s fixed contract positions. The fair values of these contracts are based on an approximation of the amounts that would have been paid to or received from counterparties to settle the contracts outstanding at the end of the period having regard to forward prices and market values provided by independent sources. Due to the inherent volatility in commodity prices, foreign exchange and interest rates, actual amounts realized may differ from these estimates. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, Delphi recorded an unrealized gain on its risk management contracts of $1.1 million. The unrealized gain recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2018 is the difference between the fair values of the risk management contracts outstanding as at September 30, 2018 and the fair values as at June 30, For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Delphi recorded an unrealized loss on its risk management contracts of $11.8 million. The unrealized loss recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is the difference between the fair values of the risk management contracts outstanding as at September 30, 2018 and the fair values as at December 31, For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the risk management contracts resulted in a realized loss of $3.7 million and $9.4 million due to lower average pricing for the Company s crude oil risk management contracts relative to the benchmark commodity prices during the respective periods. REVENUE Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September % Change % Change Field condensate 16,092 9, ,748 28, Natural gas 8,767 11,403 (23) 29,897 31,840 (6) Natural gas liquids 6,484 4, ,505 10, Sulphur (33) Total 31,399 25, ,468 70, Per boe Delphi generated revenue of $31.4 million in the third quarter of 2018, a 25 percent increase over the comparative period in The increase in revenue is due to an improvement in the average sales price (excluding risk management contracts) for field condensate and natural gas liquids. On a per boe basis, revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the comparative period in 2017 as Delphi s field condensate production increased in combination with improved pricing. Revenue in the first nine months of 2018 was 42 percent higher in comparison to the first nine months of The increase in revenue is due to higher production, in particular field condensate and natural gas liquids, in combination with an improvement in the average sales price (excluding risk management contracts) for field condensate and natural gas liquids. On a per boe basis, revenue increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the comparative period in 2017 as Delphi s field condensate and natural gas liquids production increased in combination with improved pricing for 14

15 those products. The increase in production in the three and nine months of 2018 from the same periods in 2017 contributed $0.6 million and $19.1 million, respectively, of the increase in revenue and the increase in the average combined realized price (excluding risk management contracts) contributed $5.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively, of the increase. For the third quarter of 2018, field condensate and natural gas liquids contributed 72 percent of the total revenue compared to 54 percent in the same period in In comparison, revenue in the third quarter of 2018 decreased 14 percent from the second quarter of 2018 due to a twelve percent drop in production volumes and a lower average combined sales price (excluding risk management contracts). The lower production volumes contributed $3.3 million of the decrease in revenue and the decrease in the average combined realized price (excluding risk management contracts) contributed $1.6 million of the decrease.

This service is comprised of various tranches commencing December 2015 through December 2017, with provisions to renew commencing October In order to mitigate the cost of transportation service in excess of its needs, Delphi either temporarily assigns the excess service to other shippers or purchases natural gas in Alberta or British Columbia for sale in Chicago. Marketing income has increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as the Company has additional firm capacity on the Alliance pipeline and is shipping additional volumes on NGTL due to the commissioning of its amine processing facility. 15

16 ROYALTIES Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September % Change % Change Crown royalties 1,738 1, ,236 3, Royalty credits (747) (584) 28 (2,378) (2,134) 11 Crown royalties net ,858 1, Gross overriding royalties 1,078 1,215 (11) 3,081 3,856 (20) Total 2,069 1, ,939 5, Per boe (8) Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September % Change % Change Crown rate before royalty credits 5.5% 5.2% 6 5.2% 4.9% 6 Crown rate net of royalty credits 3.2% 2.9% % 1.9% 47 Gross overriding rate 3.4% 4.8% (29) 3.1% 5.4% (43) Average rate 6.6% 7.7% (14) 5.9% 7.4% (20) The royalty rate calculations above exclude gains or losses on risk management activities from revenue as the denominator. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, royalties totaled $2.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively, compared to $1.9 million and $5.2 million in the same periods in Crown royalties increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase in benchmark prices for field condensate and natural gas liquids. All of Delphi s wells in the Montney qualify for Crown incentive programs which have a low initial royalty rate until a threshold return of capital has been reached, as determined by the Crown. Royalty credits, the cost of processing the Crown s share of natural gas production, increased 28 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 and increased eleven percent in the first nine months of 2018 over the comparative period in The Crown royalty credits are largely based on the amortization of historical capital and operating costs of gas facilities and do not fluctuate based on commodity prices. Gross overriding royalties decreased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as overall production from wells encumbered with a gross overriding royalty decreased due to natural declines partially offset by an increase in benchmark prices. The gross overriding royalty rate decreased 29 percent and 43 percent in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the respective periods in 2017 as the majority of additional production volumes are not encumbered with a gross overriding royalty. OPERATING EXPENSES Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September % Change % Change Operating costs 7,003 7,373 (5) 24,333 20, Processing recoveries (333) (360) (8) (806) (795) 1 Total 6,670 7,013 (5) 23,527 20, Per boe (7) (5) Approximately 92 percent of the Company s production volumes are produced from the Company s Montney properties in Bigstone, while only 81 percent of the Company s operating expenses consist of the lifting and processing costs associated with production from the Montney. The remaining expenses are associated with the Company s non-core properties. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, operating costs decreased five percent in comparison to the same period in Delphi is realizing the benefit of reduced costs associated with the gas stream that is sweetened at the Company s amine facility and then further processed at its 25 percent owned natural gas processing facility. In addition to reduced operating costs, the third quarter of 2018 includes an accrual reversal of water trucking charges related to the first half of Operating costs on a per boe basis prior to this reversal would be $8.48 per boe. 16

17 In the first nine months of 2018, operating expenses increased 17 percent over the comparative period in 2017 primarily due to higher production volumes and higher field activity to support ongoing operations. Production expenses on a boe basis decreased five percent over the comparative period, as the Company s additional production volumes are from its Montney property, which has a lower cost structure in comparison to the Company s non-core properties. In comparison to the second quarter of 2018, operating expenses in the third quarter of 2018, prior to the reversal of water trucking charges, decreased $1.5 million or $0.73 per boe. Delphi is starting to realize the benefit from reduced processing and gathering fees associated with the sweetened Montney natural gas volumes that are being processed at Delphi s 25 percent owned natural gas processing facility. Delphi recovers processing costs on partner production volumes processed at facilities it owns. The processing recoveries represent a reduction of the Company s costs to operate these facilities and hence is deducted in determining operating expenses. Processing recoveries in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are comparable to the same periods in TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September % Change % Change Transportation 3,820 6,282 (39) 13,482 13,997 (4) Per boe (41) (22) The Company s transportation expenses consist of shipping its natural gas volumes through the Alliance or NGTL pipeline system, trucking field condensate to sales terminals and shipping its natural gas liquids through the Pembina pipeline system. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, transportation expenses decreased 39 percent and four percent in comparison to the same periods in Transportation expenses in the third quarter of 2017 include $1.1 million of costs associated with the second quarter of Overall, the Company has reduced the cost of shipping its natural gas by assigning excess capacity to third parties, thereby avoiding excess firm capacity fees, and as a result of the commissioning of its amine facility during the second quarter of 2018, the amount of natural gas that is shipped on the NGTL system has increased. The cost of shipping natural gas on the NGTL pipeline system is approximately $1.00 per mcf less than the cost of shipping down the Alliance pipeline system. In addition, Delphi secured a dedicated delivery point with priority access for its field condensate and re-bid trucking charges in September of The Company has been experiencing the benefits of the initiatives put in place in order to reduce trucking costs. Transportation costs on a per boe basis in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased 22 percent in comparison to the same period in 2017 as production volumes have increased in combination with reduced costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, transportation expenses on a per boe basis are 16 percent lower in comparison to the $5.16 per boe in the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to lower gas transportation charges as the Company sold more volumes on the NGTL pipeline system versus the Alliance pipeline system.
