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.

Oil Revenues
Oil revenues were higher by $293 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to:
An increase of $36.19 per bbl, or 56 percent, in the average realized oil prices which increased revenues by $405 million. The increase reflected higher Houston and WTI benchmark prices which were up 48 percent and 46 percent, respectively, and higher regional pricing relative to benchmark prices; and
Lower average oil production volumes of 19.0 Mbbls/d decreased revenues by $112 million. Lower production volumes were primarily due to the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026 (21.2 Mbbls/d), partially offset by successful drilling in Permian (1.4 Mbbls/d).
Oil revenues were higher by $244 million compared to the first six months of 2025 primarily due to:
An increase of $17.50 per bbl, or 26 percent, in the average realized oil prices which increased revenues by $415 million. The increase reflected higher Houston and WTI benchmark prices which were up 23 percent and 22 percent, respectively, and higher regional pricing relative to benchmark prices; and
Lower average oil production volumes of 13.9 Mbbls/d decreased revenues by $171 million. Lower production volumes were primarily due to the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026 (9.4 Mbbls/d) and the sale of the Uinta assets in the first quarter of 2025 (3.0 Mbbls/d).
NGL Revenues
NGL revenues were higher by $318 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to:
An increase of $31.96 per bbl, or 53 percent, in the average realized plant condensate prices which increased revenues by $232 million. The increase primarily reflected the higher Edmonton Condensate benchmark price which was up 50 percent and higher regional pricing relative to benchmark prices; and
Higher average plant condensate production volumes of 13.6 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $82 million. Higher production volumes were primarily due to the NuVista Acquisition in the first quarter of 2026 (27.2 Mbbls/d), partially offset by the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026 (4.8 Mbbls/d), higher effective royalty rates in Montney (3.2 Mbbls/d), natural declines in Montney (3.2 Mbbls/d) and lower production volumes in Montney due to increased third-party plant downtime and pipeline restrictions (2.8 Mbbls/d).
NGL revenues were higher by $490 million compared to the first six months of 2025 primarily due to:
An increase of $18.06 per bbl, or 29 percent, in the average realized plant condensate prices which increased revenues by $261 million. The increase primarily reflected the higher Edmonton Condensate benchmark price which was up 22 percent, higher regional pricing relative to benchmark prices and a lower U.S./Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate; and
Higher average plant condensate production volumes of 20.9 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $249 million. Higher production volumes were primarily due to the NuVista Acquisition in the first quarter of 2026 (22.3 Mbbls/d) and the Montney assets acquired in the first quarter of 2025 (3.7 Mbbls/d), partially offset by lower production volumes in Montney due to increased third-party plant downtime and pipeline restrictions (2.4 Mbbls/d) and the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026 (2.2 Mbbls/d).
Natural Gas Revenues
Natural gas revenues were lower by $73 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to:
A decrease of $0.53 per Mcf, or 24 percent, in the average realized natural gas prices which decreased revenues by $94 million. The decrease reflected lower regional pricing relative to benchmark prices in the USA Operations and the lower AECO and NYMEX benchmark prices which were down 27 percent and 16 percent, respectively, partially offset by higher regional pricing relative to benchmark prices in the Canadian Operations; and
Higher average natural gas production volumes of 108 MMcf/d increased revenues by $21 million. Higher production volumes were primarily due to the NuVista Acquisition in the first quarter of 2026 (423 MMcf/d), partially offset by the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026 (223 MMcf/d) and natural declines in Montney (88 MMcf/d).
Natural gas revenues were higher by $56 million compared to the first six months of 2025 primarily due to:
Higher average natural gas production volumes of 234 MMcf/d increased revenues by $106 million. Higher production volumes were primarily due to the NuVista Acquisition in the first quarter of 2026 (348 MMcf/d) and the Montney assets acquired in the first quarter of 2025 (34 MMcf/d), partially offset by the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026 (117 MMcf/d); and
A decrease of $0.15 per Mcf, or six percent, in the average realized natural gas prices which decreased revenues by $50 million. The decrease reflected lower regional pricing relative to benchmark prices in the USA Operations, partially offset by the higher NYMEX benchmark price which was up 12 percent and higher regional pricing relative to benchmark prices in the Canadian Operations.
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.

| Sales of Purchased Product | $575 | $450 | $931 | $860 |
Sales of purchased product revenues increased $125 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to:
Higher realized third-party liquids pricing ($208 million) and higher sales of third-party purchased natural gas volumes ($29 million);
Lower sales of third-party purchased liquids volumes ($100 million) and lower realized third-party natural gas pricing ($13 million).
Sales of purchased product revenues increased $71 million compared to the first six months of 2025 primarily due to:

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 2025 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.
Additional information can be found under Upstream Assets and Reserve Estimates in the Critical Accounting Estimates section of the MD&A included in Item 7 of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

DD&A decreased $37 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to:
Lower production volumes in the USA Operations primarily due to the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026 ($88 million);
Higher production volumes in the Canadian Operations primarily due to the NuVista Acquisition in the first quarter of 2026 ($43 million) and a higher depletion rate in the Canadian Operations ($9 million).
The upstream depletion rate in the USA Operations increased $0.02 per BOE primarily due to lower reserve volumes from the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026, partially offset by a decrease in the depletable base resulting from the ceiling test impairment recognized in the first quarter of 2026. The upstream depletion rate in the Canadian Operations increased $0.26 per BOE primarily due to a higher depletable base resulting from the NuVista Acquisition in the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by the ceiling test impairments recognized in the first quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025.
DD&A decreased $21 million compared to the first six months of 2025 primarily due to:
Lower production volumes in the USA Operations primarily due to the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026 ($91 million), and a lower depletion rate in the USA Operations ($35 million);
Higher production volumes in the Canadian Operations primarily due to the NuVista Acquisition in the first quarter of 2026 ($102 million) and a lower U.S./Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate ($8 million).
The upstream depletion rate in the USA Operations decreased $0.70 per BOE primarily due to a lower depletable base resulting from the ceiling test impairment recognized in the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by the lower reserve volumes resulting from the sale of the Anadarko assets in the second quarter of 2026. The upstream depletion rate in the Canadian Operations increased $0.12 per BOE primarily due to a higher depletable base resulting from the NuVista Acquisition in the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by the ceiling test impairments recognized in the first quarter of 2026 and the third 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 second quarter of 2026, the Company did not recognize ceiling test impairments in the USA and Canadian Operations. In the first six months of 2026, the Company recognized before-tax non-cash ceiling test impairments of $1,485 million, comprising $1,111 million in the USA Operations and $374 million in the Canadian Operations. The non-cash ceiling test impairments recognized in the first quarter of 2026 primarily resulted from declines in the 12-month average trailing prices which reduced proved reserves in the USA Operations, and the 12-month average trailing prices used in the ceiling test at March 31, 2026, which were lower than the market prices used for the NuVista Acquisition on February 3, 2026, in the Canadian Operations.
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.
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 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.
Administrative
Administrative expense represents costs associated with corporate functions provided by Ovintiv staff. These expenses primarily include salaries and benefits, operating leases, office, information technology, transaction, restructuring and long-term incentive costs.

In 2024, Ovintiv undertook a plan, which extended into 2025, to reduce its workforce by approximately 10 percent as part of a corporate reorganization. In 2026, the Company completed further workforce reductions as part of a company-wide reorganization to better align staffing levels and organizational structure with the Company’s transformed portfolio following the sale of the Anadarko assets. Additional information on the NuVista Acquisition, restructuring charges and long-term incentive costs can be found in Notes 9, 17 and 18, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.

Interest savings related to the repayment of the Company’s $700 million senior notes during the quarter, its $459 million senior notes in the first quarter of 2026 and its $600 million senior notes in the second quarter of 2025 ($33 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 loss increased $1 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to:
Unrealized foreign exchange losses on the translation of intercompany notes in 2026 ($30 million);
Gains on other monetary revaluations compared to losses in 2025 ($27 million).
Net foreign exchange loss decreased $11 million compared to the first six months of 2025 primarily due to:
Realized foreign exchange losses on the settlement of U.S. dollar risk management contracts issued from Canada in 2025 ($98 million), gains on other monetary revaluations compared to losses in 2025 ($26 million) and lower unrealized foreign exchange losses on the translation of intercompany notes ($12 million);
Lower unrealized foreign exchange gains on the translation of U.S. dollar risk management contracts issued from Canada ($83 million) and realized foreign exchange losses on the settlement of intercompany notes compared to gains in 2025 ($42 million).
(Gain) Loss on Divestitures, Net
During the second quarter and first six months of 2026, the Company recognized a before-tax loss on the sale of the Company’s Anadarko assets of $337 million, respectively, as discussed in the Significant Developments section of this MD&A.
Amounts received from the Company’s divestiture transactions are deducted from the respective U.S. and Canadian full cost pools, except for divestitures that result in a significant alteration between capitalized costs and proved reserves in a country cost center, in which case a gain or loss is recognized. Additional information on the loss on divestiture can be found in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Other (Gains) Losses, Net
Other (gains) losses, net, primarily includes other non-recurring revenues or expenses and may also include items such as interest income and adjustments related to other assets.
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $25 million resulting from the fair value remeasurement of the previously acquired 18.5 million NuVista common shares in conjunction with the closing of the NuVista Acquisition.
Income Tax
During the first six months of 2026, the current income tax expense of $35 million was lower than 2025 primarily due to recently enacted Canadian legislation that accelerates capital cost recovery and favorable changes in the calculation of Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax in the U.S.
During the first six months of 2026, the deferred income tax recovery of $149 million was higher than 2025, primarily due to the impact of the non-cash ceiling test impairment recognized in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2026.
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.
