CONVERSIONS

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a conversion of natural gas volumes to BOE is on the basis of six Mcf to one bbl. BOE is based on a generic energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent economic value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of 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, particularly if used in isolation.

CONVENTIONS

Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, all references to “dollars”, “$” or “US$” are to U.S. dollars and all references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars. All amounts are provided on a before tax basis, unless otherwise stated. In addition, all information provided herein is presented on an after royalties basis.

The terms “include”, “includes”, “including” and “included” are to be construed as if they were immediately followed by the words “without limitation”, except where explicitly stated otherwise.

The term “liquids” is used to represent oil, NGLs and condensate. The term “liquids-rich” is used to represent natural gas streams with associated liquids volumes. The term “play” is used to describe an area in which hydrocarbon accumulations or prospects of a given type occur. Ovintiv’s focus of development is on hydrocarbon accumulations known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section and are developed using hydraulic fracturing. This type of development typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk and lower average decline rate, when compared to conventional development.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements or information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, except for statements of historical fact, that relate to the anticipated future activities, plans, strategies, objectives or expectations of the Company are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, and the other documents incorporated herein by reference (if any), the use of words and phrases including “aims,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “focused on,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intends,” “maintain,” “may,” “opportunities,” “outlook,” “plans,” “potential,” “seeks,” “strategy,” “strives,” “targets,” “will,” “would” and other similar terminology is intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words or phrases. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q include: expectations of plans, strategies and objectives of the Company, including anticipated reserves development; the Company’s ability to consummate any future acquisition and divestiture transactions (including the acquisition described herein); the Company’s ability to successfully integrate any acquired assets into its business (including the acquisition described herein); drilling plans and programs, including the amount and availability of capital to complete these plans and programs; the composition of the Company’s assets and the anticipated capital returns associated with its assets; anticipated oil, NGL and natural gas prices; the anticipated success of, and benefits from, technology and innovation, including new or advanced drilling techniques or well completion designs; anticipated drilling and completions activity, including the number of drilling rigs and frac crews utilized; anticipated proceeds and future benefits from various joint venture, partnership and other agreements; anticipated or desired benefits from acquisitions; anticipated oil, NGLs and natural gas production and commodity mix; the Company’s ability to access capital markets, credit facilities and other sources of liquidity; the Company’s ability to timely achieve its stated sustainability goals, targets and initiatives; the impact of changes in federal, state, provincial, local and tribal laws, rules and regulations, including the impact of changes in trade policies and tariffs; anticipated compliance with current or proposed environmental legislation; the Company’s ability to manage debt and financial ratios and comply with financial covenants; the implementation and outcomes of risk management programs, including exposure to commodity prices, interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations and the volume of oil, NGLs and natural gas production hedged; the declaration and payment of future dividends and the anticipated repurchase of the Company’s outstanding common shares; the Company’s ability to manage cost inflation and expected cost structures, including expected operating, transportation, processing and labor expenses; and the outlook of the oil and natural gas industry generally, including impacts from changes to the geopolitical environment.

The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events, taking into account all information currently known by us. While we consider these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of our business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and other risks and uncertainties impacting the Company’s business as described from time to time in the Company’s other periodic filings with the SEC or Canadian securities regulators.

Although the Company believes the expectations represented by its forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available to it as of the date such statements are made, forward-looking statements are only predictions and statements of our current beliefs and there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. All forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q are made as of the date of this document (or in the case of a document incorporated herein by reference, the date of such document) and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, and all subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, whether written or oral, are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

The reader should carefully read the risk factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10‑K for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements.
