The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "guidance", "ongoing", "may", "will", "project", "intends", "plans", "budget", "strategy" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, this presentation contains forward-looking information pertaining to the following: expected 2023 average production volumes, timing thereof and the anticipated production mix; the proportion of our anticipated oil and gas production that is hedged and the effectiveness of such hedges in protecting our cash flow from operating activities and adjusted funds flow; the results from our drilling program and the timing of related production and ultimate well recoveries; oil and natural gas prices and differentials, including expected changes to such differentials year-over-year, and our commodity risk management program in 2023 and in the future; expectations regarding our realized oil and natural gas prices; future royalty rates on our production and future production taxes; anticipated cash G&A, share-based compensation and financing expenses; operating, transportation and tax expenses; share repurchase plans and the amount of future cash returns to our shareholders by way of dividends and share repurchases; expected free cash flow generation and use thereof, including to fund share repurchases and dividends; the anticipated percentage of free cash flow planned to be returned to shareholders; he amount of future cash dividends that we may pay to our shareholders and the source of funds necessary in order to pay such dividends; execution of our remaining NCIB authorization and any future share repurchases and the anticipated timing thereof; expected reinvestment rates; capital spending levels and allocations in 2023 and impact thereof on our production levels and land holdings; our ESG initiatives, including Scope 1. and Scope 2 GHG emissions and methane emissions intensity, freshwater use reduction and health and safety targets; our anticipated progress towards our ESG initiatives, including timing and expected capital expenditures needed to achieve such targets; future environmental expenses; future debt and working capital levels and net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio and adjusted payout ratio, financial capacity, liquidity and capital resources to fund capital spending and working capital requirements; expectations regarding our ability to comply with, renegotiate or renew our bank credit facilities and outstanding senior notes, as applicable; and our future acquisitions and dispositions. The forward-looking information contained in this presentation reflects several material factors and expectations and assumptions of Enerplus including, without limitation: the ability to fund our return of capital plans, including both dividends at the current level and the share repurchase program, from free cash flow as expected; that our common share trading price will be at levels, and that there will be no other alternatives, that, in each case, make share repurchases an appropriate and best strategic use of our free cash flow; that we will conduct our operations and achieve results of operations as anticipated; that our development plans will achieve the expected results; that lack of adequate infrastructure will not result in curtailment of production and/or reduced realized prices beyond our current expectations; current and anticipated commodity prices, differentials and cost assumptions; expectations regarding inflation; the general continuance of current or, where applicable, assumed industry conditions; the impact of inflation, weather conditions, storage fundamentals and expectations regarding the duration and overall impact of the continued conflict in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic; the continuation of assumed tax, royalty and regulatory regimes; the accuracy of the estimates of our reserve and contingent resource volumes; expectations regarding our share price; the continued availability of adequate debt and/or equity financing and adjusted funds flow to fund our capital, operating and working capital requirements, and dividend payments as needed; the continued availability and sufficiency of our adjusted funds flow and availability under our bank credit facility to fund our working capital deficiency; our ability to comply with our debt covenants; our ability to meet the targets associated with our bank credit facilities; the availability of third party services; the extent of our liabilities; estimates relating to our ESG emissions intensity; and the availability of technology and process to achieve environmental targets. In addition, our 2023 guidance contained in this presentation is based on the following: a WTI price of $80.00/bbl, a NYMEX price of $3.00/Mcf, a Bakken crude oil price differential of $0.50/bbl above WTI, a Marcellus natural gas price differential of $(0.75)/Mcf below NYMEX and a CDN/USD exchange rate of 0.74. Enerplus believes the material factors, expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct.

All financial information in this presentation has been prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except as noted below under "Non-GAAP Measures". Barrels of Oil Equivalent and Cubic Feet of Gas Equivalent This presentation contains references to "BOE" (barrels of oil equivalent), "MBOE" (one thousand barrels of oil equivalent), and "MMBOE" (one million barrels of oil equivalent). Enerplus has adopted the standard of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) when converting natural gas to BOES. BOE, MBOE and MMBOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The foregoing conversion ratios are based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and do not represent a 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 equivalent of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading. Non-GAAP & Other Financial Measures This presentation includes references to certain non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios used by the Company to evaluate its financial performance, financial position or cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures disclosed by a company that (a) depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of a company, (b) with respect to their composition, exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the company, (c) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company and (d) are not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. Non-GAAP ratios are financial measures disclosed by a company that are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation that has a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components, and that are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios do not have standardized meanings or definitions as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable with the calculation of similar financial measures by other entities. Please see Management's Discussion & Analysis for the composition of each non-GAAP measure, the identified GAAP equivalency to the extent one exists, a reconciliation of the measure to the mostly directly comparable GAAP financial measure and details on the usefulness of the measure for the reader. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see "Non-GAAP Measures" in the latest MD&A for more detail. Other financial measures include supplementary financial measures and capital management measures. Supplementary financial measures are disclosed by a company that (a) are, or are intended to be, disclosed on a periodic basis to depict the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of a company, (b) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the company, (c) are not non-GAAP financial measures, and (d) are not non-GAAP ratios. Capital management measures are financial measures disclosed by a company that (a) are intended to enable an individual to evaluate a company's objectives, policies and processes for managing the company's capital, (b) are not a component of a line item disclosed in the primary financial statements of the company, (c) are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements of the company, and (d) are not disclosed in the primary financial statements of the company. Please see "Other Financial Measures" in the latest MD&A Presentation of Production and Reserves Information All production volumes presented in this presentation are reported on a "net" basis (the Company's working interest share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus the Company's royalty interests), unless expressly indicated that it is being presented on a "gross" basis. All reserves information presented herein are reported in accordance with Canadian reserve evaluation standards under National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("Canadian NI 51-101 Standards"), except certain reserves information effective December 31, 2022 in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ASC Topic 932 Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas, which generally utilize definitions and estimations of proved reserves that are consistent with Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the "U.S. Rules"), but does not necessarily include all of the disclosure required by the SEC disclosure standards set forth in Subpart 1200 of Regulation S-K (the "U.S. Standards"). The practice of preparing production and reserves data under the Canadian NI 51-101 Standards differs from the U.S. Rules and the presentation of production and reserves data under the Canadian Standards differs from presentation under the U.S. Standards. Please refer to our 2022 reserves news release for further information. All references to "liquids" in this presentation include light and medium crude oil, heavy oil and tight oil (all together referred to as "crude oil") and NGLS on a combined basis. All references to "natural gas" in this presentation include conventional natural gas and shale gas on a combined basis. Enerplus' oil and gas reserves statement for the year ended December 31, 2022, which will include complete disclosure of our oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information prepared under the Canadian NI 51-101 Standards and also certain information about our oil and gas reserves prepared in accordance with the U.S. Rules, is contained within our Annual Information Form (AIF) for the year ended December 31, 2022 which is available on our website at www.enerplus.com and under our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

Drilling locations associated with unrisked "best estimate" economic contingent resources in "development pending" project maturity sub-class have been evaluated by Enerplus' independent qualified reserves evaluators, McDaniel & Associates Ltd in the case of North Dakota in accordance with the COGE Handbook. Unbooked future drilling locations are not associated with any reserves or contingent resources of Enerplus and have been identified by Enerplus and have not been audited by Enerplus' independent qualified reserves evaluators. Existing Enerplus net locations in North Dakota as at 1 Jan 2023 are 855 and comprise 366 2P undeveloped reserves locations, 214 best estimate contingent resources locations and 275 unbooked future locations.
