Ovintiv Inc.

Sources of Liquidity

The Company has the flexibility to access cash equivalents and a range of funding alternatives at competitive rates through committed revolving credit facilities as well as debt and equity capital markets. Ovintiv closely monitors the accessibility of cost-effective credit and ensures that sufficient liquidity is in place to fund capital expenditures and dividend payments. In addition, the Company may use cash and cash equivalents, cash from operating activities, or proceeds from asset divestitures to fund its operations and shareholder return framework or to manage its capital structure as discussed below. At December 31, 2025, $33 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by Canadian subsidiaries. The cash held by Canadian subsidiaries is accessible and may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and Canadian withholding taxes if repatriated.

The Company’s capital structure consists of total shareholders’ equity plus long-term debt, including any current portion. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility to preserve Ovintiv’s access to capital markets and its ability to meet financial obligations and finance internally generated growth, as well as potential acquisitions. Ovintiv has a practice of maintaining capital discipline and strategically managing its capital structure by adjusting capital spending, adjusting dividends paid to shareholders, issuing new shares of common stock, purchasing shares of common stock for cancellation or return to treasury, issuing new debt and repaying or repurchasing existing debt.

The Company has full access to two committed revolving U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities totaling $3.5 billion, which include a $2.2 billion revolving credit facility for Ovintiv Inc. and a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility for a Canadian subsidiary (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities, which mature in December 2029, provide financial flexibility and allow the Company to fund its operations or capital investment program. At December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding amounts under the revolving Credit Facilities.

Depending on the Company’s credit rating and market demand, the Company may issue from its two U.S. commercial paper (“CP”) programs, which include a $1.5 billion program for Ovintiv Inc. and a $1.0 billion program for a Canadian subsidiary. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had $351 million outstanding under its U.S. CP program maturing at various dates with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.37 percent, which is supported by the Company’s Credit Facilities. All of Ovintiv’s credit ratings are investment grade as at December 31, 2025.

On November 25, 2025, the Company entered into a $1.2 billion Two-Year Term Credit Agreement (“Term Credit Agreement”) to fund the cash component of its previously announced NuVista Acquisition. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement.

As at December 31, 2025, the available Credit Facilities, Term Credit Agreement, uncommitted demand lines, and cash and cash equivalents, net of outstanding commercial paper, provide Ovintiv with total liquidity of approximately $4.5 billion. Ovintiv also had approximately $185 million in undrawn letters of credit issued in the normal course of business as collateral security.

On February 3, 2026, the Company closed the NuVista Acquisition, whereby it issued approximately 30.1 million shares of Ovintiv common stock and paid cash consideration of approximately $1.2 billion (C$1.6 billion), which was funded with proceeds from the Term Credit Agreement. Additionally, Ovintiv assumed NuVista’s debt, totaling approximately $282 million (C$385 million), which was subsequently repaid using proceeds from short-term borrowings and cash on hand.

Additional information on the Term Credit Agreement and NuVista Acquisition can be found in Notes 15 and 28, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Ovintiv has a U.S. shelf registration statement under which the Company may issue from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, units, share purchase contracts and share purchase units in the U.S. The U.S. shelf registration statement expires in March 2026 and is intended to be renewed by the Company.

The obligations under the Company’s existing debt securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Ovintiv Canada ULC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Additional information on the Company’s Canadian Operations segment and the Bow office lease can be found in the Results of Operations section in this MD&A and in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Ovintiv is currently in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facilities and Term Credit Agreement. Management monitors Debt to Adjusted Capitalization, which is a non-GAAP measure defined in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A, as a proxy for Ovintiv’s financial covenant under the Credit Facilities and Term Credit Agreement, which requires Debt to Adjusted Capitalization to be less than 60 percent. As at December 31, 2025, the Company’s Debt to Adjusted Capitalization was 22 percent. The definitions used in the covenant under the Credit Facilities and Term Credit Agreement adjust capitalization for cumulative historical ceiling test impairments recorded in conjunction with the Company’s January 1, 2012, adoption of U.S. GAAP. Additional information on financial covenants can be found in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table summarizes the sources and uses of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.

Operating Activities

Net cash from operating activities in 2025 was $3,652 million and was primarily a reflection of the impacts from production volumes, average realized commodity prices, realized gains/losses on risk management and changes in non‑cash working capital.

Additional detail on changes in non-cash working capital can be found in Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Ovintiv expects it will continue to meet the payment terms of its suppliers.

Non-GAAP Cash Flow in 2025 was $3,785 million and was primarily impacted by the items affecting cash from operating activities which are discussed below and in the Results of Operations section of this MD&A.

Net cash from operating activities decreased $69 million compared to 2024 primarily due to:

•

Lower realized liquids commodity prices ($713 million), lower oil production volumes ($704 million), lower realized gains on risk management in revenues ($105 million), higher realized foreign exchange losses on the settlement of U.S. dollar risk management contracts issued from Canada ($95 million), and higher transportation and processing expense ($85 million);

•

Higher NGLs and natural gas production volumes ($765 million), higher realized natural gas commodity prices ($446 million), changes in non-cash working capital ($154 million), lower operating expense, excluding non-cash long-term incentive costs ($70 million), lower production, mineral and other taxes ($47 million), lower administrative expense, excluding non-cash long-term incentive costs ($40 million), lower current income tax expense ($40 million) and lower interest expense ($35 million).

Investing Activities

The Company’s primary investing activities are capital expenditures, acquisitions and proceeds from divestitures, which are summarized in Notes 2 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

2025 and 2024

Net cash used in investing activities in 2025 was $2,884 million primarily due to the Montney Acquisition and capital expenditures, partially offset by the sale of the Company’s Uinta assets. Capital expenditures decreased $156 million compared to 2024 primarily due to decreased capital activity resulting from the sale of the Uinta assets in the first quarter of 2025, and decreased capital activity and increased efficiencies in Permian, partially offset by increased capital activity in Montney primarily due to the Montney Acquisition in the first quarter of 2025 and increased capital activity in Anadarko.

Acquisitions in 2025 were $2,537 million, which primarily included the Montney Acquisition. Acquisitions in 2024 were $205 million which primarily included property purchases with oil and liquids-rich potential in the USA Operations.

Proceeds from divestitures in 2025 were $1,927 million, which primarily included the sale of the Uinta assets in Utah. Proceeds from divestitures in 2024 were $7 million, which included certain properties that did not complement Ovintiv’s existing portfolio of assets. Proceeds from divestitures in 2024 also included total net settlement proceeds of approximately $156 million related to the previous dispositions of certain legacy assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities has been impacted by Ovintiv’s strategic objective to return value to shareholders by repaying existing debt, purchasing shares of common stock and paying dividends.

Net cash used in financing activities in 2025 decreased $469 million compared to 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the net issuance of revolving debt in 2025 compared to net repayments in 2024 ($635 million), decreased purchases of shares of common stock ($290 million) and a property acquisition payable in 2025 ($123 million), partially offset by the repayment of the Company’s May 2025 senior notes during the second quarter of 2025 ($600 million).

In May 2025, Ovintiv redeemed its $600 million, 5.65 percent senior notes due May 15, 2025, with cash on hand and proceeds from short-term borrowings. The Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion of $810 million, totaled $5,202 million at December 31, 2025. The Company’s long-term debt at December 31, 2024, totaled $5,453 million, including the current portion of $600 million.

In January 2026, the Company redeemed its $459 million, 5.375 percent senior notes due January 1, 2026, with cash on hand and proceeds from short-term borrowings. Following this repayment, the Company has no fixed rate long-term debt due until 2028 and beyond.

From time to time, Ovintiv may seek to retire or repurchase the Company’s outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other debt or equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

In support of the Company’s commitment to enhancing shareholder value, Ovintiv utilizes its shareholder return framework to provide competitive returns to shareholders. As discussed in the Significant Developments and Subsequent Events section of this MD&A, the Company announced an update to its shareholder return framework, which it expects to implement immediately. The new framework commits to returning between 50 percent and 100 percent of annual Non‑GAAP Cash Flow in excess of capital expenditures through base dividends and share buybacks. The Company expects its dividend levels to remain unchanged.

For additional information on long-term debt, refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Dividends

The Company pays quarterly dividends to common shareholders at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

On February 23, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock payable on March 31, 2026, to common shareholders of record as of March 13, 2026. Shares of common stock issued in conjunction with the NuVista Acquisition are eligible to receive the dividend declared on February 23, 2026.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

On September 29, 2025, the Company announced it had received regulatory approval for the renewal of its NCIB program, which enables the Company to purchase, for cancellation or return to treasury, up to approximately 22.3 million shares of common stock over a 12-month period from October 3, 2025, to October 2, 2026. The Company expects to execute the renewed NCIB program in conjunction with its new shareholder return framework.

During 2025, under the previous NCIB program, which extended from October 3, 2024, to October 2, 2025, the Company purchased for cancellation, approximately 7.8 million shares of common stock for total consideration of approximately $307 million.

For additional information on the NCIB, refer to Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Material Cash Requirements

Ovintiv’s material cash requirements include various contractual obligations arising from long-term debt, operating leases, risk management liabilities and asset retirement obligations which are recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company expects to fund long-term material cash requirements primarily with cash from operating activities.

Interest payments include scheduled cash payments on long-term debt and other obligations. Additional information can be found in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Operating leases include drilling rigs, compressors, office and buildings, certain land easements and various equipment utilized in the development and production of oil, NGLs and natural gas, as well as The Bow building. As at December 31, 2025, the Company subleased approximately 50 percent of The Bow office space under the lease agreement. Additional information on leases can be found in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risk management liabilities represent Ovintiv’s net liability positions with counterparties. Additional information can be found in Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Contractual commitments relating to transportation and processing commitments, and drilling and field services can be found in Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Further to the commitments discussed above, Ovintiv also has various obligations that become payable if certain future events occur relating to take or pay arrangements and payout of minimum costs as described in Notes 20 and 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition, the Company has obligations to fund the disposal of long-lived assets upon their abandonment as well as its obligations to fund its defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans as described in Notes 17 and 23, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Other than the items discussed above, there are no other transactions, arrangements, or relationships with unconsolidated entities or persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s liquidity or the availability of, or requirements for, capital resources.

Contingencies
