NON-GAAP MEASURES
•
Certain measures in this presentation do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures
may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures have been provided for meaningful comparisons between current results and other
periods and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, see the Company's website
and Encana's most recent Annual Report as filed on SEDAR and EDGAR. Non-GAAP measures include:
• Non-GAAP Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Cash Flow Per Share (CFPS) and Non-GAAP Free
Cash Flow - Non-GAAP Cash Flow (or Cash Flow) is defined as cash from (used in)
operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, net change in
non-cash working capital and current tax on sale of assets. Non-GAAP CFPS is Non-
GAAP Cash Flow divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is Non-GAAP Cash Flow in excess of capital
expenditures, excluding net acquisitions and divestitures. Management believes
these measures are useful to the company and its investors as a measure of
operating and financial performance across periods and against other companies in
the industry, and are an indication of the company's ability to generate cash to
finance capital programs, to service debt and to meet other financial
obligations. These measures may be used, along with other measures, in the
calculation of certain performance targets for the company's management and
employees.
Operating Cash Flow and Free Operating Cash Flow - Operating Cash Flow is a non-
GAAP measure defined as product revenues less costs associated with delivering the
product to market, including production, mineral and other taxes, transportation and
processing and operating expenses. When presented on a per BOE basis, Operating
•
Cash Flow is defined as indicated divided by average barrels of oil equivalent sales
volumes. Operating Cash Flow is used by management as an internal measure of the
profitability of a play(s). Free Operating Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as
Operating Cash Flow in excess of capital investment, excluding net acquisitions and
divestitures.
Net Debt, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA - Net Debt is defined as
long-term debt, including the current portion, less cash and cash equivalents.
Management uses this measure as a substitute for total long-term debt in certain
internal debt metrics as a measure of the company's ability to service debt
obligations and as an indicator of the company's overall financial strength. Adjusted
EBITDA is defined as trailing 12-month net earnings (loss) before income taxes,
DD&A, impairments, accretion of asset retirement obligation, interest, unrealized
gains/losses on risk management, foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on
divestitures and other gains/losses. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is monitored by
management as an indicator of the company's overall financial strength and as a
measure considered comparable to peers in the industry.
