Revenues
Ovintiv’s revenues are substantially derived from sales of oil, NGLs and natural gas production. Increases or decreases in Ovintiv’s revenue, profitability and future production are highly dependent on the commodity prices the Company receives. Prices are market driven and fluctuate due to factors beyond the Company’s control, such as supply and demand, seasonality and geopolitical and economic factors. The Company’s realized prices generally reflect WTI, NYMEX, Edmonton Condensate and AECO benchmark prices, as well as other downstream benchmarks, including Houston and Dawn. The Company proactively mitigates price risk and optimizes margins by entering into firm transportation contracts to diversify market access to different sales points. Realized prices, excluding the impact of risk management activities, may differ from the benchmarks for many reasons, including quality, location, or production being sold at different market hubs.
Benchmark prices relevant to the Company are shown in the table below.

(1)
Oil Revenues
Oil revenues were lower by $300 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to:
Lower average oil production volumes of 30.8 Mbbls/d decreased revenues by $208 million. Lower production volumes were primarily due to the sale of the Uinta assets during the first quarter of 2025 (29.1 Mbbls/d); and
A decrease of $7.01 per bbl, or 10 percent, in the average realized oil prices which decreased revenues by $92 million. The decrease reflected lower WTI and Houston benchmark prices which were both down 14 percent, partially offset by higher regional pricing relative to the benchmark prices.
Oil revenues were lower by $868 million compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily due to:
Lower average oil production volumes of 25.4 Mbbls/d decreased revenues by $540 million. Lower production volumes were primarily due to the sale of the Uinta assets during the first quarter of 2025 (23.8 Mbbls/d); and
A decrease of $8.27 per bbl, or 11 percent, in the average realized oil prices which decreased revenues by $328 million. The decrease reflected lower WTI and Houston benchmark prices which were both down 14 percent, partially offset by higher regional pricing relative to the benchmark prices.
NGL Revenues
NGL revenues were higher by $138 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to:
Higher average plant condensate production volumes of 30.2 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $198 million. Higher production volumes were primarily due to the Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025 (22.0 Mbbls/d) and successful drilling in Montney (9.4 Mbbls/d); and
A decrease of $6.57 per bbl, or 10 percent, in the average realized plant condensate prices which decreased revenues by $57 million. The decrease primarily reflected the lower Edmonton Condensate benchmark price which was down 11 percent.
NGL revenues were higher by $326 million compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily due to:
Higher average plant condensate production volumes of 23.3 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $462 million. Higher production volumes were primarily due to the Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025 (19.6 Mbbls/d) and successful drilling in Montney (5.5 Mbbls/d), partially offset by lower production volumes in Montney related to increased third-party plant downtime (1.8 Mbbls/d); and
A decrease of $6.79 per bbl, or 10 percent, in the average realized plant condensate prices which decreased revenues by $154 million. The decrease primarily reflected the lower Edmonton Condensate benchmark price which was down nine percent.
Natural Gas Revenues
Natural gas revenues were higher by $112 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to:
An increase of $0.50 per Mcf, or 39 percent, in the average realized natural gas prices which increased revenues by $88 million. The increase reflected the higher NYMEX and AECO benchmark prices which were up 42 percent and 23 percent, respectively, and exposure to other downstream benchmark prices relating to the Company’s diversified markets in the Canadian Operations, partially offset by lower regional pricing relative to benchmark prices in the USA Operations; and
Higher average natural gas production volumes of 200 MMcf/d increased revenues by $24 million. Higher production volumes were primarily due to the Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025 (207 MMcf/d), successful drilling in Montney and Permian (31 MMcf/d) and lower effective royalty rates in Montney (17 MMcf/d). The higher production volumes were partially offset by the sale of the Uinta assets in the first quarter of 2025 (33 MMcf/d) and natural declines in Anadarko (20 MMcf/d).
Natural gas revenues were higher by $425 million compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily due to:
An increase of $0.73 per Mcf, or 46 percent, in the average realized natural gas prices which increased revenues by $363 million. The increase reflected the higher NYMEX and AECO benchmark prices which were up 61 percent and 19 percent, respectively, and exposure to other downstream benchmark prices relating to the Company’s diversified markets in the Canadian Operations, partially offset by lower regional pricing relative to benchmark prices in the USA Operations; and
Higher average natural gas production volumes of 143 MMcf/d increased revenues by $62 million. Higher production volumes were primarily due to the Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025 (184 MMcf/d), and successful drilling in Montney and Permian (79 MMcf/d). The higher production volumes were partially offset by lower production volumes in Montney primarily related to pipeline restrictions and increased third-party plant downtime (53 MMcf/d), the sale of the Uinta and Horn River assets in the first quarter of 2025 (38 MMcf/d), and natural declines in Anadarko (21 MMcf/d).
Sales of Purchased Product
Revenues from the sale of purchased product relate to activities that provide operational flexibility and cost mitigation for transportation commitments, product type, delivery points and customer diversification within the USA and Canadian Operations segments.

Other primarily includes realized gains from other derivative contracts with no associated production volumes.
Ovintiv recognizes fair value changes from its risk management activities each reporting period. The changes in fair value result from new positions and settlements that occur during each period, as well as the relationship between contract prices and the associated forward curves. Realized gains or losses on risk management activities related to commodity price mitigation are included in the USA and Canadian Operations’ revenues as the contracts are cash settled. Unrealized gains or losses on fair value changes of unsettled contracts are included in the Corporate and Other segment.
During the second and third quarters of 2025, the Company entered into physical forward contracts to further mitigate a portion of its exposure to AECO benchmark prices. The Company’s ongoing market diversification strategy shifts a portion of its commodity price exposure to alternative pricing hubs including Japan Korea Marker and Chicago city-gates, commencing in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
Additional information on fair value changes and risk management contracts can be found in Notes 18 and 19, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization
Proved properties within each country cost center are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Depletion rates are impacted by impairments, acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange rates, as well as fluctuations in 12-month average trailing prices which affect proved reserves volumes. Corporate assets are carried at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated service lives of the assets.

DD&A decreased $54 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to:
Lower depletion rates and production volumes in the USA Operations primarily due to the sale of the Uinta assets in the first quarter of 2025 ($102 million and $54 million, respectively);
Higher depletion rates and production volumes in the Canadian Operations primarily due to the Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025 ($81 million and $23 million, respectively).
The upstream depletion rate in the USA Operations decreased $3.55 per BOE primarily due to a lower depletable base resulting from the sale of the Uinta assets in the first quarter of 2025. The upstream depletion rate in the Canadian Operations increased $2.73 per BOE primarily due to a higher depletable base resulting from the Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by the ceiling test impairments recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025.
DD&A decreased $99 million compared to the first nine months of 2024 primarily due to:
Lower depletion rates and production volumes in the USA Operations primarily due to the sale of the Uinta assets in the first quarter of 2025 ($262 million and $136 million, respectively);
Higher depletion rates and production volumes in the Canadian Operations primarily due to the Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025 ($256 million and $49 million, respectively).
The upstream depletion rate in the USA Operations decreased $3.05 per BOE primarily due to a lower depletable base resulting from the sale of the Uinta assets in the first quarter of 2025. The upstream depletion rate in the Canadian Operations increased $3.06 per BOE primarily due to a higher depletable base resulting from the Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by the ceiling test impairments recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025.
Ceiling Test Impairment
Under full cost accounting, the carrying amount of Ovintiv’s oil and natural gas properties within each country cost center is subject to a ceiling test performed quarterly. Ceiling test impairments are recognized when the capitalized costs, net of accumulated depletion and the related deferred income taxes, exceed the sum of the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves as calculated under SEC requirements using the 12-month average trailing prices and discounted at 10 percent. The 12‑month average trailing price is calculated as the average of the price on the first day of each month within the trailing 12‑month period.
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized a before-tax non-cash ceiling test impairment of $141 million in the Canadian Operations primarily resulting from the decline in the 12-month average trailing prices, which reduced proved reserves. In the first nine months of 2025, the Company recognized ceiling test impairments of $871 million in the Canadian Operations primarily due to the 12-month average trailing prices used in the ceiling test at March 31, 2025, which were lower than the market prices used for the Montney Acquisition on January 31, 2025.
The 12-month average trailing prices used in the ceiling test calculations were based on the benchmark prices below. The benchmark prices were adjusted for basis differentials to determine local reference prices, transportation costs and tariffs, heat content and quality.

All prices were held constant in all future years when estimating net revenues and reserves.
Further declines in the 12‑month average trailing commodity prices could reduce proved reserves values and result in the recognition of future ceiling test impairments. Future ceiling test impairments can also result from changes to reserves estimates, future development costs, capitalized costs and unproved property costs. Proceeds received from oil and natural gas divestitures are typically deducted from the Company’s capitalized costs and can reduce the risk of ceiling test impairments.
The Company believes that the discounted after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves required to be used in the ceiling test calculation are not indicative of the fair market value of Ovintiv’s oil and natural gas properties or the future net cash flows expected to be generated from such properties. The discounted after-tax future net cash flows do not consider the fair market value of unamortized unproved properties, or probable or possible liquids and natural gas reserves. In addition, there is no consideration given to the effect of future changes in commodity prices. Ovintiv manages its business using estimates of reserves and resources based on forecast prices and costs. Additional information on the ceiling test calculation can be found in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.

Financing fees incurred related to the termination of two term facilities following the closing of the Uinta divestiture and Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025 ($5 million).
Foreign Exchange (Gain) Loss, Net
Foreign exchange gains and losses primarily result from the impact of fluctuations in the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. Additional information on changes in foreign exchange gains or losses can be found in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additional information on foreign exchange rates and the effects of foreign exchange rate changes can be found in Part I, Item 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Net foreign exchange gain of $7 million compared to a loss of $17 million during the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to:
Unrealized foreign exchange losses on the translation of intercompany notes in 2024 ($16 million) and gains on other monetary revaluations compared to losses in 2024 ($8 million).
Net foreign exchange loss of $25 million compared to a gain of $21 million during the first nine months of 2024 primarily due to:
Higher realized foreign exchange losses on the settlement of U.S. dollar risk management contracts issued from Canada ($97 million), unrealized foreign exchange losses on the translation of intercompany notes compared to gains in 2024 ($61 million) and losses on other monetary revaluations compared to gains in 2024 ($14 million);

Other (gains) losses, net, primarily includes other non-recurring revenues or expenses and may also include items such as interest income, reclamation charges related to decommissioned assets, and adjustments related to other assets.
Other gains in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 includes interest income of $2 million and $10 million, respectively, primarily generated from short-term investments (2024 - $1 million and $4 million, respectively).
During the first nine months of 2024, the Company resolved a dispute related to the previous disposition of certain legacy assets for approximately $150 million.
Income Tax
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, current income tax expense of $14 million and $83 million, respectively, were lower than the comparative periods in 2024 primarily due to lower expected full year taxable earnings and the anticipated impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1).
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the deferred income tax expense of $30 million was higher than the comparative period in 2024 primarily due to research and development credits recognized in the United States in 2024, partially offset by the impact of a non-cash ceiling test impairment recognized in Canada. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the deferred income tax expense of $19 million was lower than the comparative period in 2024 primarily due to the impact of non-cash ceiling test impairments recognized in Canada in 2025, partially offset by research and development credits recognized in the United States in 2024.
The determination of income and other tax liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries requires interpretation of complex domestic and foreign tax laws and regulations, that are subject to change. The Company’s interpretation of tax laws may differ from the interpretation of the tax authorities. As a result, there are tax matters under review for which the timing of resolution is uncertain. The Company believes that the provision for income taxes is adequate.
Additional information on income taxes can be found in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
