Non-GAAP Measures Advisory
22
Non-GAAP measures advisory
In this presentation, we refer to certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with IFRS. These measures as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable with calculations of similar measures for other companies. We believe that, in conjunction with results presented in accordance with IFRS, these measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of certain aspects of our results of operations and financial performance. You are cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS as an indication of our performance. These measures include the following:
Netback is a measure of cash operating margin on an absolute or per-unit-of-production basis and is calculated as the absolute or per-unit-of-production amount of revenue less royalties, operating costs and transportation. The measure is used to assess the operational profitability of the company as well as relative profitability of individual assets. For additional information relating to netbacks, including a detailed calculation of our netbacks, see our latest management's discussion and analysis which is available in Canada at www.sedar.com and in the United States at www.sec.gov; and
Net debt is the amount of long-term debt, comprised of long-term notes and bank debt, plus net working capital (surplus)/deficit. Net debt is a measure of leverage and liquidity

In particular, this presentation contains, without limitation, forward-looking statements pertaining to the following: our expected 2018 guidance for production, growth, total expenditures (including capital and decommissioning) and expenses (including operating and G&A) and projected liquids weighting; our expected base decline rates for production in 2018 and 2019; our expectation for when certain wells will come on production; that we will continue to evolve our development strategy to enhance economics and maximize capital efficiencies; that the economics in Peace River will continue to be attractive post the carry ending; that there is clear downside protection to our capital program through our current hedge book; our capital spending plans in 2018; our expected approach to development including the area-specific asset development plans; the timing and our expectations of such development activities; that there could be flexibility to expand the 2018 capital program in H2 2018, which in turn would drive more growth; our expected percentage production growth rate for 2018; the expected average internal rates of return at the various locations; the expectation that short cycle development drives strong capital efficiencies; the expected 2018 corporate capital efficiencies by location and the Company as a whole; our expectation for the average 2018 production range per day; and our expectations for drilling in bioturbated rock including optionality, costs and complexity.

Although Obsidian Energy believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because Obsidian Energy can give no assurances that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking information addresses future events and conditions, by its very nature it involves inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as operational risks in development, exploration and production; the possibility that the semi-annual borrowing base re-determination under our of our reserve-based loan is not acceptable to the Company or that we breach one or more of the financial covenants pursuant to our amending agreements with holders of our senior, secured notes; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to reserves, production, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations; interest rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation; loss of markets; environmental risks; competition; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; failure to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or dispositions; ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; failure to obtain required regulatory and other approvals; reliance on third parties; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalties and environmental regulations. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
