The Parex Advantage
Advisory
A
Forward-Looking Statements and Financial Outlook (Continued)
Management does not have firm commitments for all of the costs, expenditures, prices or other financial assumptions used to prepare the financial outlook or assurance that such operating results will be achieved and, accordingly, the complete financial effects of all of those costs, expenditures, prices and operating results are not objectively
determinable. The actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the analysis presented in this presentation, and such variation may be material. The Company and its management believe that the financial outlook has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting the
best estimates and judgments, and represent, to the best of management's knowledge and opinion, Parex's expected expenditures and results of operations. However, because this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks including the risks discussed above, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.
Except as required by applicable securities laws, Parex undertakes no obligation to update such financial outlook.
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory
This presentation uses various "non-GAAP financial measures", "non-GAAP ratios", "supplementary financial measures" and "capital management measures" (as such terms are defined in National Instrument 52-112 - Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure). Such measures are not standardized financial measures under IFRS, and
might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Such financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than measures determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures facilitate management's comparisons to the Company's historical operating results in assessing its results
and strategic and operational decision-making and may be used by financial analysts and others in the oil and natural gas industry to evaluate the Company's performance. Further, management believes that such financial measures are useful supplemental information to analyze operating performance and provide an indication of the results
generated by the Company's principal business activities. Please refer to the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis of the financial condition and results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2022 dated November 3, 2022 (the "MD&A"), which is available at the Company's website at www.parexresources.com and on the
Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com for additional information about such financial measures, including reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures, as applicable.
Set forth below is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures used in this presentation.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Free funds flow, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is determined by funds flow provided by operations less capital expenditures. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company changed how it presents exploration and evaluation expenditures included in total capital expenditures. Amounts have been restated for prior periods to conform to the current
year's presentation, refer to note 2 of the Company's consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022. The Company considers free funds flow or free cash flow to be a key measure as it demonstrates Parex's ability to fund return of capital, such as the normal course issuer bid or dividends, without accessing
outside funds.
Operating netback, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company considers to be a key measure as it demonstrates Parex's profitability relative to current commodity prices. Parex calculates operating netback as oil and natural gas sales less royalties, production, and transportation expense.
Capital Expenditures, is a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company uses to describe its capital costs associated with oil and gas expenditures. The measure considers both property, plant and equipment expenditures and exploration and evaluation asset expenditures which are items in the Company's statement of cash flows for the period.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company changed how it presents exploration and evaluation expenditures, refer to note 2 of the Company's consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022.
Non-GAAP Ratios
Funds flow provided by operations netback ("FFO netback"), is a non-GAAP ratio that includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital, divided by produced oil and natural gas sales volumes. The Company considers FFO netback to be a key measure as it demonstrates Parex's
profitability after all cash costs relative to current commodity prices.
Funds flow provided by operations per share, is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated by dividing funds flow provided by operations by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding.
Capital Management Measures
Funds flow provided by operations, is a capital management measure that includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital.
The Company considers funds flow provided by operations to be a key measure as it demonstrates Parex's profitability after all cash costs relative to current commodity prices.
Supplementary Financial Measures
"Dividends per share" is comprised of dividends declared as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the number of shares outstanding at the applicable dividend record date.
"Dividend yield" is defined as annualized dividends per share divided by Parex's share price.
Distribution Advisory
The proposed aggregate dividend payment of US$120 million in 2023 remains subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Parex and the declaration of such dividend is subject to a number of other assumptions and contingencies, including commodity prices. The Company's future shareholder distributions, including but not limited to the
payment of dividends and the acquisition by the Company of its shares pursuant to its normal course issuer bid, if any, and the level thereof is uncertain. Any decision to pay further dividends on the common shares (including the actual amount, the declaration date, the record date and the payment date in connection therewith and any special
dividends) or acquire shares of the Company will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of Parex and may depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation the Company's business performance, financial condition, financial requirements, growth plans, expected capital requirements and other conditions existing at such future
time including, without limitation, contractual restrictions and satisfaction of the solvency tests imposed on the Company under applicable corporate law. There can be no assurance that the Company will pay dividends or repurchase any shares of the Company in the future. The payment of dividends to shareholders is not assured or guaranteed and
dividends may be reduced or suspended entirely. In addition to the foregoing, the Company's ability to pay dividends now or in the future may be limited by covenants contained in the agreements governing any indebtedness that the Company has incurred or may incur in the future, including the terms of the credit facilities.
