These statements relate to future events or our future intentions or performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. The statements have been prepared by management to provide an outlook of the Corporation's activities and results and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as seek, anticipate, plan, continue, estimate, guidance, demonstrate, expect, may, can, will, project, predict, potential, target, intend, could, might, should, believe, would and similar expressions and include statements relating to, among other things, the Corporation's 2019 to 2021 Development Plan (the "Plan"), the Plan's development focus and the timing thereof, the expected sources of funding for the Plan; expected results and benefits to be derived from the Plan include, but are not limited to, increasing the anticipated amount of annual average liquids production, increasing C5+/light oil production mix and the expected amount of C5+/light oil production mix, diversifying the Corporation's revenue sources including the composition of natural gas and liquids, developing additional operational and infrastructure optionality and how this will be achieved; annual production average and the expected amount by which total annual average production will be increased by in 2019 to 2021; expected net capital expenditures for 2019 to 2021, including the expected focus and allocation of such expenditures; the expected adjusted funds flow per share and per boe in each of 2019 to 2021; expected yearend total debt to adjusted funds flow ratios in each of 2019 to 2021; the expected cumulative adjusted funds flow and capital investment over the Plan's three years; resource development potential beyond the Plan and the Corporation's future drilling inventory; the benefits derived from third party processing arrangements the Corporation entered into with two midstream firms; whether the Corporation will extend its gathering pipelines from Glacier to Wembley; and other matters. Advantage s actual decisions, activities, results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements and accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur or, if any of them do, what benefits that Advantage will derive from them. With respect to the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, Advantage has made a number of material assumptions regarding, but not limited to: current and future commodity prices; the Corporation's current and future hedging program; future exchange rates; future production and composition including natural gas and liquids; royalty regimes and future royalty rates; future operating costs; future transportation costs and availability of product transportation capacity; future general and administrative costs; the estimated well costs including frac stages and lateral lengths per well; the number of new wells required to achieve the objectives of the Plan; that the Corporation will be able to complete its infrastructure projects on a timely basis; the timing for the construction to be completed on third party mid-stream facilities; timing and amount of net capital expenditures; and that the Corporation will have sufficient financial resources required to fund its capital and operating expenditures and requirements as needed. 23
ADVISORY Management has included the summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking information in order to provide shareholders with a more complete perspective on Advantage's future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Advantage s actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that Advantage will derive there from. Management does not have firm commitments for all the costs, expenditures, prices or other financial assumptions used to prepare the forward-looking information or assurance that such operating results will be achieved and, accordingly, the complete financial effects of all of those costs, expenditures, prices and operating results are not objectively determinable. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. The Corporation and management believe that the statements have been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments. However, because this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks including the risks discussed above, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation and Advantage disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws. These statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond Advantage s control, including, but not limited to: changes in general economic, market and business conditions; industry conditions; impact of significant declines in market prices for oil and natural gas; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including increasing taxes and changes in investment or other regulations; changes in tax laws, royalty regimes and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry; the effect of acquisitions; Advantage's success at acquisition, exploitation and development of reserves; failure to achieve production targets on timelines anticipated or at all; unexpected drilling results; changes in commodity prices, currency exchange rates, net capital expenditures, reserves or reserves estimates and debt service requirements; the occurrence of unexpected events involved in the exploration for, and the operation and development of, oil and gas properties, including hazards such as fire, explosion, blowouts, cratering, and spills, each of which could result in substantial damage to wells, production facilities, other property and the environment or in personal injury; changes or fluctuations in production levels; individual well productivity; lack of available capacity on pipelines; delays in anticipated timing of drilling and completion of wells; delays in completion of infrastructure; lack of available capacity on pipelines; individual well productivity; competition from other producers; the lack of availability of qualified personnel or management; credit risk; changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced; our ability to comply with current and future environmental or other laws; stock market volatility and market valuations; liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems and other difficulties in producing petroleum reserves; ability to obtain required approvals of regulatory authorities; and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. Many of these risks and uncertainties and additional risk factors are described in the Corporation s Annual Information Form dated March 5, which is available at www.sedar.com and www.advantageog.com. Readers are also referred to risk factors described in other documents Advantage files with Canadian securities authorities. 24
ADVISORY Oil and Gas Information Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") and thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent ("mcfe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. Boe and mcfe conversion ratios have been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent to one barrel of oil. A boe and mcfe conversion ratio of 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. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas 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. This presentation discloses drilling inventory in the Glacier, Valhalla, Progress and Pipestone/Wembley areas in three categories: (i) proved locations; (ii) probable locations; and (iii) unbooked locations. Proved locations and probable locations are derived from Sproule Associates Limited reserves evaluation effective December 31, and account for drilling locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on our prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves or resources. Of the 1,200 to 1,400 total drilling locations identified herein, 327 are proved locations, 29 are probable locations and 844 to 1,044 are unbooked locations. Unbooked locations have been identified by management as an estimation of our multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the Corporation 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 we actually drill wells will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. Any references in this presentation to initial production rates or IP30 rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue production and decline thereafter. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for Advantage. Advantage has presented certain type curves and well economics for its Montney areas. The type curves presented are based on Advantage's historical production. Such type curves and well economics are useful in understanding management's assumptions of well performance in making investment decisions in relation to development drilling in the Montney area and for determining the success of the performance of development wells; however, such type curves and well economics are not necessarily determinative of the production rates and performance of existing and future wells and such type curves do not reflect the type curves used by our independent qualified reserves evaluator in estimating our reserves volumes. The type curves differ as a result of varying horizontal well length, stage count and stage spacing. The type 25
ADVISORY curves represent the average type curves expected. In this presentation, estimated ultimate recovery represents the estimated ultimate recovery associated with the type curves presented; however, there is no certainty that Advantage will ultimately recover such volumes from the wells it drills. In presenting such type curves, inputs and economics information and in this presentation generally, Advantage has used a number of oil and gas metrics which do not have standardized meanings and therefore may be calculated differently from the metrics presented by other oil and gas companies. Such metrics include DCE+T, "EUR", "NPV10", "payout", "rate of return" (or "ROR"), "half cycle ROR", operating netback", and "capital efficiency". EUR represents the estimated ultimate recovery of resources associated with the type curves presented. NPV 10 represents the anticipated net present value of the future net revenue discounted at a rate of 10% associated with the type curves presented. Payout means the anticipated years of production from a well required to fully pay for the DCE+T of such well. ROR means the rate of return of a well or the discount rate required to arrive at a NPV equal to zero. Half cycle ROR means the rate of return of a well or the discount rate required to arrive at a NPV equal to zero when taking into account "half cycle" costs, which include drilling, completion, equip and tie-in capital expenditures. Production estimates contained herein are expressed as anticipated average production over the calendar year. In determining anticipated production for the years ended 2019 to 2021 Advantage considered historical drilling, completion and production results for prior years and took into account the estimated impact on production of the Corporation s 2019 to 2021 expected drilling and completion activities. 26
ADVISORY Non-GAAP Measures The Corporation discloses several financial and performance measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS" or GAAP ). These financial and performance measures include net capital expenditures, adjusted funds flow, total debt, total debt to adjusted funds flow, and capital efficiency. Such financial and performance measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than measures determined in accordance with GAAP including net income, comprehensive income, cash provided by operating activities, or cash used in investing activities. Management believes that these measures provide an indication of the results generated by the Corporation s principal business activities and provide useful supplemental information for analysis of the Corporation s operating performance and liquidity. Advantage s method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies, and accordingly, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Net capital expenditures include total capital expenditures related to property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets incurred during the period. Management considers this measure reflective of actual capital activity for the period as it excludes changes in working capital related to other periods. The Corporation considers adjusted funds flow to be a useful measure of Advantage s ability to generate cash from the production of natural gas and liquids, which may be used to settle outstanding debt and obligations, and to support future capital expenditures plans. Changes in non-cash working capital are excluded from adjusted funds flow as they may vary significantly between periods and are not considered to be indicative of the Corporation s operating performance as they are a function of the timeliness of collecting receivables or paying payables. Expenditures on decommissioning liabilities are excluded from the calculation as the amount and timing of these expenditures are unrelated to current production, highly variable and discretionary. Total debt is the total of bank indebtedness and working capital deficit. Total debt to adjusted funds flow is a ratio calculated as total debt divided by adjusted funds flow for the previous four quarters. Total debt to adjusted funds flow is considered by management to be a useful measure as it is commonly used to evaluate the leverage of a company and the ability to settle outstanding debt and obligations with cash generated from operations. Capital efficiency is calculated by dividing total capital development costs for oil and gas activities including drilling, completion, facilities, infrastructure, office and capitalized general and administrative costs (excluding abandonment and reclamation costs, exploration and evaluation costs, and acquisition and disposition related costs and proceeds) by the average production additions of the applicable year to replace base production declines and deliver production growth targets, expressed in $/boe/d. Capital efficiency is considered by management to be a useful performance measure as a common metric used to evaluate the efficiency with which capital activity is allocated to achieve production additions. Refer to the Corporation s most recent Management s Discussion and Analysis, which is available at www.sedar.com and www.advantageog.com, for additional information about certain financial measures, including reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures, as applicable. 27
