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 zero-
flaring alignment, 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 rest of year commodity prices: WTI price of $80.00/bbl, a NYMEX price of $3.00/Mcf, and a CDN/USD exchange rate of 0.72. 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.
