Strong Adjusted Funds Flow
Adjusted funds flow of $121 million ($0.73 per share) in Q1 2026, supporting capital spending, debt management and opportunistic share buybacks.
Production Increase and Guidance
Production averaged 81,375 BOE/d in Q1 (a 2% increase vs. Q4 2025). Management expects ~90,000 BOE/d beginning Q3 2026 and to maintain that level through end of 2027, implying ~7% production growth in 2027 over 2026.
Higher Liquids Contribution and Realized Price
Liquids comprised 44% of total sales revenue in the quarter with an average realized price of $84 per barrel, improving cash flow resilience amid weak gas prices.
Major Infrastructure Completion — Progress Gas Plant
75 MMcf/d Progress gas plant reached mechanical completion and commissioning is underway; plant located at intersection of Valhalla, Progress Montney and Charlie Lake, expected to lower operating costs and enable efficient capital development.
Capital Deployment and Efficiency Inflection
Q1 capital spending of $136 million (nearly 50% of full-year budget) focused on bringing capacity online; company expects minimal capacity expansion spending for at least 2 years and < $100 million planned in H2 2026, shifting program to high-return wells into existing infrastructure.
High-Return Liquids Programs and Short Paybacks
Reallocating ~$25 million from Glacier gas to Wembley oil targets. Expected payback periods: Wembley ~8 months, Charlie Lake ~6 months, Glacier gas ~1.5 years, supporting faster free cash flow generation.
Charlie Lake Free Cash Flow Potential
Charlie Lake asset exceeded expectations with 5 wells brought on in Q1 and management forecasts the asset will deliver over $120 million of free cash flow in 2026.
Hedging and Market Diversification
Hedged ~41% of forecasted natural gas production in 2026 (29% in 2027, 18% in 2028) and ~42% of crude & NGL production in 2026 (26% in 2027). AECO exposure reduced to ~18% for remainder of 2026, lowering cash-flow volatility.
Midstream Capacity and Growth Optionality
Owned and operated gas capacity >500 MMcf/d (plus midstream services) sufficient to grow to 100,000 BOE/d without major infrastructure builds; additional 100 MMcf/d at Conroy ready to be reactivated when markets support entry into BC.
Decarbonization Project Nearing Commissioning
Entropy Glacier CCS Phase 2 construction nearly complete with commissioning expected soon; project funded by Brookfield and Canada Growth Fund and expected to materially decarbonize Glacier facility and improve operating income via contracted power sales and guaranteed carbon pricing.
