Dundas President and CEO 30 |#31Advisories Assumptions enerPLUS All amounts in this presentation are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. 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.sedarplus.com. Additionally, our AIF forms part of our Form 40-F that is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Readers are also urged to review the Management's Discussion & Analysis and financial statements filed on SEDAR+ and as part of our Form 40-F on EDGAR concurrently with this presentation for more complete disclosure on our operations. Drilling Inventory and Expected Well Performance Drilling locations associated with proved plus probable undeveloped reserves have been evaluated or reviewed by Enerplus' independent qualified reserves evaluators in accordance with the COGE Handbook. 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. The Enerplus expected well performance comes from analyzing historical well productivity within the geographic area. The data set analyzed excludes wells completed before 2016 and the Enerplus expected well is an average of our future planned inventory. 31#32Contacts Investor Relations Contacts Drew Mair Sr. Manager, Investor Relations, Corporate Planning, Reserves 403-298-1707 Krista Norlin Sr. Investor Relations Analyst 403-298-4304 Email: [email protected] enerPLUS
