DEFINITIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires or otherwise expressly stated, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “Ovintiv,” the “Company,” “us,” “we,” “our,” and “ours” refer to Ovintiv Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries for periods on or after January 24, 2020 and to Encana Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for periods before January 24, 2020. In addition, the following are other abbreviations and definitions of certain terms used within this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q:

“AECO” means Alberta Energy Company and is the Canadian benchmark price for natural gas.

“ASU” means Accounting Standards Update.

“bbl” or “bbls” means barrel or barrels.

“BOE” means barrels of oil equivalent.

“Btu” means British thermal units, a measure of heating value.

“DD&A” means depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses.

“ESG” means environmental, social and governance.

“FASB” means Financial Accounting Standards Board.

“GHG” means greenhouse gas.

“Mbbls/d” means thousand barrels per day.

“MBOE/d” means thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day.

“Mcf” means thousand cubic feet.

“MD&A” means Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

“MMBOE” means million barrels of oil equivalent.

“MMBtu” means million Btu.

“MMcf/d” means million cubic feet per day.

“NCIB” means normal course issuer bid.

“NGL” or “NGLs” means natural gas liquids.

“NYMEX” means New York Mercantile Exchange.

“NYSE” means New York Stock Exchange.

“OPEC” means Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

“SEC” means United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

“SIB” means substantial issuer bid.

“S&P 400” means Standard and Poor’s MidCap 400 index.

“TSX” means Toronto Stock Exchange.

“U.S.”, “United States” or “USA” means United States of America.

“U.S. GAAP” means U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

“WTI” means West Texas Intermediate.

CONVERSIONS

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a conversion of natural gas volumes to BOE is on the basis of six Mcf to one bbl. BOE is based on a generic energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent economic 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 equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value, particularly if used in isolation.

3


 

CONVENTIONS

Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, all references to “dollars”, “$” or “US$” are to U.S. dollars and all references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars. All amounts are provided on a before tax basis, unless otherwise stated. In addition, all information provided herein is presented on an after royalties basis.

The terms “include”, “includes”, “including” and “included” are to be construed as if they were immediately followed by the words “without limitation”, except where explicitly stated otherwise.

The term “liquids” is used to represent oil, NGLs and condensate. The term “liquids rich” is used to represent natural gas streams with associated liquids volumes. The term “play” is used to describe an area in which hydrocarbon accumulations or prospects of a given type occur. Ovintiv’s focus of development is on hydrocarbon accumulations known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section and are developed using hydraulic fracturing. This type of development typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk and lower average decline rate, when compared to conventional development.

References to information contained on the Company’s website at www.ovintiv.com are not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute a part of, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the other documents incorporated herein by reference (if any), contain certain forward-looking statements or information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, except for statements of historical fact, that relate to the anticipated future activities, plans, strategies, objectives or expectations of the Company are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, and the other documents incorporated herein by reference (if any), the use of words and phrases including “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “focused on,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intends,” “maintain,” “may,” “opportunities,” “outlook,” “plans,” “potential,” “strategy,” “targets,” “will,” “would” and other similar terminology is intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words or phrases. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q include: expectations of plans, strategies and objectives of the Company, including anticipated reserves development; the Company’s ability to consummate any future acquisition and divestiture transactions; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate any acquired assets (including the Permian Acquisition as defined in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q)) into its business; drilling plans and programs, including availability of capital to complete these plans and programs; the composition of the Company’s assets and the anticipated capital returns associated with its assets; anticipated oil, NGL and natural gas prices; the anticipated success of, and benefits from, technology and innovation, including the cube development model, new or advanced drilling techniques or well completion designs; anticipated drilling and completions activity, including the number of drilling rigs and frac crews utilized; anticipated proceeds and future benefits from various joint venture, partnership and other agreements; anticipated oil, NGLs and natural gas production and commodity mix; the Company’s capital structure and ability to access credit facilities, credit markets and other sources of liquidity; the ability of the Company to timely achieve its stated ESG goals, targets and initiatives; the impact of changes in federal, state, provincial, local and tribal laws, rules and regulations; anticipated compliance with current or proposed environmental legislation; the Company’s ability to manage debt and financial ratios and comply with financial covenants; the implementation and outcomes of risk management programs, including exposure to commodity prices, interest rate and foreign exchange fluctuations and the volume of oil, NGLs and natural gas production hedged; the declaration and payment of future dividends and the anticipated repurchase of the Company’s outstanding common shares; the Company’s ability to manage cost inflation and expected cost structures, including expected operating, transportation, processing and labor expenses; and the outlook of the oil and natural gas industry generally, including impacts from changes to the geopolitical environment.

The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events, taking into account all information currently known by us. While we consider these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of our business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in Item 1A.

Risk Factors of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023; and other risks and uncertainties impacting the Company’s business as described from time to time in the Company’s other periodic filings with the SEC or Canadian securities regulators.

Although the Company believes the expectations represented by its forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available to it as of the date such statements are made, forward-looking statements are only predictions and statements of our current beliefs and there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. All forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q are made as of the date of this document (or in the case of a document incorporated herein by reference, the date of such document) and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, and all subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, whether written or oral, are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

 

The reader should carefully read the risk factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10‑K and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023, for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements.

1.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Ovintiv is in the business of the exploration for, the development of, and the production and marketing of oil, NGLs and natural gas.

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Ovintiv and entities in which it holds a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Undivided interests in oil and natural gas exploration and production joint ventures and partnerships are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Investments in non-controlled entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method.

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and disclosures normally required under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in Item 8 of Ovintiv’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of Management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of the Company as at and for the periods presented. Interim condensed consolidated financial results are not necessarily indicative of consolidated financial results expected for the fiscal year.

 

2.

Segmented Information

Ovintiv’s reportable segments are determined based on the following operations and geographic locations:

USA Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of oil, NGLs and natural gas and other related activities within the U.S. cost center.
Canadian Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of oil, NGLs and natural gas and other related activities within the Canadian cost center.
Market Optimization is primarily responsible for the sale of the Company’s proprietary production. These results are reported in the USA and Canadian Operations. Market optimization activities include third-party purchases and sales of product to provide operational flexibility and cost mitigation for transportation commitments, product type, delivery points and customer diversification. These activities are reflected in the Market Optimization segment. Market Optimization sells substantially all of the Company’s upstream production to third-party customers. Transactions between segments are based on market values and are eliminated on consolidation.

Corporate and Other mainly includes unrealized gains or losses recorded on derivative financial instruments. Once the instruments are settled, the realized gains and losses are recorded in the reporting segment to which the derivative instruments relate. Corporate and Other also includes amounts related to sublease rentals.

The Company’s revenues from contracts with customers consists of product sales including oil, NGLs and natural gas, as well as the provision of gathering and processing services to third parties. Ovintiv had no contract asset or liability balances during the periods presented. As at June 30, 2023, receivables and accrued revenues from contracts with customers were $843 million ($1,257 million as at December 31, 2022).

Ovintiv’s product sales are sold under short-term contracts with terms that are less than one year at either fixed or market index prices or under long-term contracts exceeding one year at market index prices.

The Company’s gathering and processing services are provided on an interruptible basis with transaction prices that are for fixed prices and/or variable consideration. Variable consideration received is related to recovery of plant operating costs or escalation of the fixed price based on a consumer price index. As the service contracts are interruptible, with service provided on an “as available” basis, there are no unsatisfied performance obligations remaining at June 30, 2023.

As at June 30, 2023, all remaining performance obligations are priced at market index prices or are variable volume delivery contracts. As such, the variable consideration is allocated entirely to the wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or promise to deliver units of production, and revenue is recognized at the amount for which the Company has the right to invoice the product delivered. As the period between when the product sales are transferred and Ovintiv receives payments is generally 30 to 60 days, there is no financing element associated with customer contracts. In addition, Ovintiv does not disclose unsatisfied performance obligations for customer contracts with terms less than 12 months or for variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations.

%

 

Ovintiv’s interim income tax expense is determined using the estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year-to-date net earnings before income tax plus the effect of legislative changes and amounts in respect of prior periods. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is impacted by expected annual earnings, changes in valuation allowances, income tax related to foreign operations, state taxes, the effect of legislative changes, non-taxable items and tax differences on transactions, which can produce interim effective tax rate fluctuations.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the current income tax expense was primarily due to the expected full utilization of Ovintiv’s operating losses in Canada, resulting in current tax in 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the current income tax expense in the United States was primarily due to state taxes.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the deferred tax expense was primarily due to the annual effective tax rate applied to the U.S. earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the deferred tax expense was due to the lower annual effective income tax rate applied to jurisdictional earnings.

The effective tax rate of 21.6 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2023, is higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to state taxes. The effective tax rate of 5.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to the lower annual effective income tax rate resulting from a reduction in valuation allowances.

Acquisitions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, acquisitions in the USA Operations were $208 million, which primarily included property purchases in Permian and Uinta with oil and liquids rich potential. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, acquisitions in the USA Operations were $22 million, which primarily included property purchases with oil and liquids rich potential.

Divestitures

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, divestitures in the USA Operations were $718 million and $730 million, respectively, which primarily included the sale of Bakken located in North Dakota for proceeds of approximately $706 million, after closing and other adjustments.

Amounts received from the Company’s divestiture transactions have been deducted from the respective U.S. and Canadian full cost pools.

Business Combination

 

Acquisition of Midland Basin Assets (“Permian Acquisition”)

 

On June 12, 2023, Ovintiv completed a business combination to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests in seven Delaware limited liability companies (“Permian LLCs”) pursuant to the purchase agreement with Black Swan Oil & Gas, LLC, PetroLegacy II Holdings, LLC, Piedra Energy III Holdings, LLC and Piedra Energy IV Holdings, LLC, which are portfolio companies of funds managed by EnCap Investments L.P (“EnCap”). The Company paid aggregate cash consideration of approximately $3.2 billion and issued approximately 31.8 million shares of Ovintiv common stock, representing a value of approximately $1.2 billion, subject to final closing adjustments under the purchase agreement. The cash portion of the consideration was funded through a combination of net proceeds from the Company’s May 2023 senior notes offering (see Note 11), net proceeds from the sale of Bakken (see Note 7), cash on hand and proceeds from short-term borrowings. Transaction costs of approximately $75 million were included in administrative expense.

 

The acquisition is strategically located in close proximity to Ovintiv’s current Permian operations and adds approximately 1,050 net well locations to Ovintiv’s existing Permian inventory and approximately 65,000 net acres. The assets acquired generated revenues of $67 million and direct operating expenses of $15 million for the period from June 12, 2023, to June 30, 2023. The results of the Permian LLCs’ operations have been included in Ovintiv’s consolidated financial statements as of June 12, 2023.

 

18


 

Purchase Price Allocation

 

The Permian LLCs have been accounted for under the acquisition method and as a single transaction because the purchase agreement was entered into at the same time with EnCap and in contemplation of one another to achieve an overall economic effect. The purchase price allocations represent the consideration paid and the fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

 

The preliminary purchase price allocation was based on the initial valuations from estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable. These will be subject to change based on the determination of the final closing adjustments and when the remaining information necessary to complete the valuation is obtained. The Company expects the purchase price allocation to be completed within 12 months following the acquisition date, during which time the value of net assets and liabilities acquired may be revised as appropriate.

(1)
The fair value was based on the issuance of 31.8 million shares of common stock using the NYSE price of $36.78 on June 12, 2023.

The Company used the income approach valuation technique for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their nature and/or short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair value of tubular inventory in other property, plant and equipment was based on the cost approach, which utilized asset listings and cost records with consideration for the relative age, condition, utilization and economic support of the inventory. The fair values of the proved properties, unproved properties and asset retirement obligation were categorized within Level 3 and were determined using relevant market assumptions, including discount rates, future commodity prices and costs, timing of development activities, projections of oil and gas reserves, and estimates to abandon and reclaim producing wells. Level 3 inputs require significant judgement and estimates to be made.

 

For income tax purposes, the Permian Acquisition is treated as an asset purchase, and as a result, the tax basis in the assets and liabilities reflect their allocated fair value.

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

 

The following unaudited pro forma financial information combines the historical financial results of Ovintiv with the Permian LLCs and has been prepared as though the acquisition and the associated debt issuance described in Note 11 had occurred on January 1, 2022. The pro forma information is not intended to reflect the actual results of operations that would have occurred if the Permian Acquisition had been completed at the date indicated. In addition, the pro forma information is not intended to be a projection of Ovintiv’s results of operations for any future period.

 

19


 

Additionally, pro forma earnings were adjusted to exclude acquisition-related costs incurred of approximately $75 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. The pro forma financial information does not include any cost savings or other synergies that may result from the acquisition or any estimated costs that have been or will be incurred to integrate the assets. The pro forma financial data does not include the results of operations for any other acquisitions made during the periods presented, as they were primarily acreage acquisitions, and their results were not deemed material.

On May 31, 2023, Ovintiv completed a public offering of senior unsecured notes of $600 million with a coupon rate of 5.65 percent due May 15, 2025, $700 million with a coupon rate of 5.65 percent due May 15, 2028, $600 million with a coupon rate of 6.25 percent due July 15, 2033, and $400 million with a coupon rate of 7.10 percent due July 15, 2053. The net proceeds of the offering, totaling $2,278 million, were used to fund a portion of the Company’s Permian Acquisition. See Note 8 for further information on the business combination.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased, in the open market, approximately $55 million and $61 million, respectively, in principal amount of its senior notes, plus accrued interest.

 

On June 10, 2022, Ovintiv redeemed the Company’s $1,000 million, 5.625 percent senior notes due July 1, 2024, using cash on hand and proceeds from short-term borrowings. Ovintiv paid approximately $1,072 million in cash including accrued and unpaid interest of $25 million and a make-whole payment of $47 million, which was included in interest expense as discussed in Note 4.

 

As at June 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding commercial paper of $330 million maturing at various dates with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.98 percent. As at June 30, 2023, the Company also had $350 million drawn on its revolving credit facilities.

 

As at June 30, 2023, total long-term debt had a carrying value of $6,134 million and a fair value of $6,161 million (as at December 31, 2022 - carrying value of $3,570 million and a fair value of $3,648 million). The estimated fair value of long-term borrowings is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and has been determined based on market information of long-term debt with similar terms and maturity, or by discounting future payments of interest and principal at interest rates expected to be available to the Company at period end.

On June 12, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Permian Acquisition agreement, Ovintiv issued approximately 31.8 million shares of common stock as a component of the consideration paid to EnCap as discussed in Note 8. In conjunction with the share issuance, the Company recognized share capital of $318 thousand, and paid in surplus of $1,169 million.

 

Ovintiv’s Performance Share Units (“PSU”) and Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) stock-based compensation plans allow the Company to settle the awards either in cash or in the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, Ovintiv issued 4.1 million shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023 (2.4 million shares of common stock during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022) as certain PSU and RSU grants vested during the period.

 

Normal Course Issuer Bid

 

On September 28, 2022, the Company announced it had received regulatory approval for the renewal of its NCIB program, that enables the Company to purchase, for cancellation or return to treasury, up to approximately 24.8 million shares of common stock over a 12-month period from October 3, 2022, to October 2, 2023.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased approximately 2.5 million shares for total consideration of approximately $89 million. Of the amount paid, $25 thousand was charged to share capital and $89 million was charged to paid in surplus.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased approximately 7.7 million shares for total consideration of approximately $328 million. Of the amount paid, $77 thousand was charged to share capital and $328 million was charged to paid in surplus.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased approximately 2.8 million shares under its previous NCIB program which extended from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022. Total consideration of approximately $135 million was paid to complete the share repurchases, of which $21 thousand was charged to share capital and $135 million was charged to paid in surplus.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased approximately 4.5 million shares under its previous NCIB program for total consideration of approximately $206 million, of which $35 thousand was charged to share capital and $206 million was charged to paid in surplus.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company purchased approximately 14.7 million shares under a combination of its current and previous NCIB programs for total consideration of approximately $719 million. Of the amount paid, $147 thousand was charged to share capital and $719 million was charged to paid in surplus.

All purchases were made in accordance with the respective NCIB programs at prevailing market prices plus brokerage fees, with consideration allocated to share capital up to the par value of the shares, with any excess allocated to paid in surplus.

Dividends

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company declared and paid dividends of $0.30 per share of common stock totaling $82 million (2022 - $0.25 per share of common stock totaling $64 million).

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Shares issued as a result of awards granted from stock-based compensation plans are generally funded out of the common stock authorized for issuance as approved by the Company’s shareholders.

 

Certain PSUs and RSUs are classified as equity-settled if the Company has sufficient common stock held in reserve for issuance. These awards are included in the calculation of fully diluted net earnings (loss) per share of common stock if dilutive.

 

Ovintiv’s stock options with associated Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights (“TSARs”) give the employee the right to purchase shares of common stock of the Company or receive cash. Historically, most holders of options have elected to exercise their TSARs in exchange for a cash payment. As a result, outstanding options are not considered potentially dilutive securities.

Variable Interest Entities

 

Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership

Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership (“VMLP”) provides gathering, compression and processing services under various agreements related to the Company’s development of liquids and natural gas production in the Montney play. As at June 30, 2023, VMLP provides approximately 1,156 MMcf/d of natural gas gathering and compression and 918 MMcf/d of natural gas processing under long-term service agreements with remaining terms ranging from eight to 22 years and have various renewal terms providing up to a potential maximum of 10 years.

Ovintiv has determined that VMLP is a variable interest entity and that Ovintiv holds variable interests in VMLP. Ovintiv is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact VMLP’s economic performance. These key activities relate to the construction, operation, maintenance and marketing of the assets owned by VMLP. The variable interests arise from certain terms under the various long-term service agreements and include: i) a take or pay for volumes in certain agreements; ii) an operating fee of which a portion can be converted into a fixed fee once VMLP assumes operatorship of certain assets; and iii) a potential payout of minimum costs in certain agreements. The potential payout of minimum costs will be assessed in the eighth year of the assets’ service period and is based on whether there is an overall shortfall of total system cash flows from natural gas gathered and compressed under certain agreements. The potential payout amount can be reduced in the event VMLP markets unutilized capacity to third-party users. Ovintiv is not required to provide any financial support or guarantees to VMLP.

 

As a result of Ovintiv’s involvement with VMLP, the maximum total exposure to loss related to the commitments under the agreements is estimated to be $1,367 million as at June 30, 2023. The estimate comprises the take or pay volume commitments and the potential payout of minimum costs. The take or pay volume commitments associated with certain gathering and processing assets are included in Note 21 under Transportation and Processing. The potential payout requirement is highly uncertain as the amount is contingent on future production estimates, pace of development and downstream transportation constraints. As at June 30, 2023, accounts payable and accrued liabilities included $0.6 million related to the take or pay commitment.

Compensation Plans

Ovintiv has a number of compensation arrangements under which the Company awards various types of long-term incentive grants to eligible employees and Directors. They may include Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”), TSARs, PSUs, Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) and RSUs.

Ovintiv accounts for certain PSUs and RSUs as equity-settled stock-based payment transactions provided there is sufficient common stock held in reserve for issuance. SARs, TSARs and DSUs are accounted for as cash-settled stock-based payment transactions. The Company accrues compensation costs over the vesting period based on the fair value of the rights determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton or other appropriate fair value models.

During the first quarter of 2023, Ovintiv’s Board of Directors resolved to settle certain PSU awards and RSU awards with the issuance of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, these awards were modified and reclassified as equity-settled share-based payment transactions at the modification date. The modification date fair value of the awards was US$43.80 per share and C$59.47 per share for the U.S. dollar denominated and Canadian dollar denominated awards, respectively, and there was no incremental compensation cost recognized at the modification date.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of SAR and TSAR units outstanding:

Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair values of restricted cash and marketable securities included in other assets approximate their carrying amounts due to the nature of the instruments held.

Recurring fair value measurements are performed for risk management assets and liabilities and other derivative contracts, as discussed further in Note 19. These items are carried at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are classified within the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in the following tables.

Fair value changes and settlements for amounts related to risk management assets and liabilities are recognized in revenues and foreign exchange gains and losses according to their purpose.

The Company’s Level 1 and Level 2 risk management assets and liabilities consist of commodity fixed price contracts, NYMEX three-way options, NYMEX costless collars, foreign currency swaps and basis swaps with terms to 2025. The fair values of these contracts are estimated using inputs which are either directly or indirectly observable from active markets, such as exchange and other published prices, broker quotes and observable trading activity throughout the term of the instruments.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

As at June 30, 2023, the Company’s Level 3 risk management assets and liabilities consist of WTI three-way options and WTI costless collars with terms to 2024. The WTI three-way options are a combination of a sold call, a bought put and a sold put. The WTI costless collars are a combination of a sold call and a bought put. These contracts allow the Company to participate in the upside of commodity prices to the ceiling of the call option and provide the Company with complete (collars) or partial (three-way) downside price protection through the put options. The fair values of these contracts are determined using an option pricing model using observable and unobservable inputs such as implied volatility. The unobservable inputs are obtained from third parties whenever possible and reviewed by the Company for reasonableness.

A summary of changes in Level 3 fair value measurements for risk management positions is presented below:

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

A) Financial Instruments

Ovintiv’s financial assets and liabilities are recognized in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, risk management assets and liabilities, long-term debt, and other liabilities and provisions.

B) Risk Management Activities

Ovintiv uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuating commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, gains and losses from changes in the fair value are recognized in net earnings (loss).

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk arises from the effect that fluctuations in future commodity prices may have on revenues from production. To partially mitigate exposure to commodity price risk, the Company has entered into various derivative financial instruments. The use of these derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors.

Oil and NGLs - To partially mitigate oil and NGL commodity price risk, the Company uses WTI- and NGL-based contracts such as fixed price contracts, options and costless collars. Ovintiv has also entered into basis swaps to manage against widening price differentials between various production areas, products and price points.

Natural Gas - To partially mitigate natural gas commodity price risk, the Company uses NYMEX-based contracts such as fixed price contracts, options and costless collars. Ovintiv has also entered into basis swaps to manage against widening price differentials between various production areas and benchmark price points.

Foreign Exchange Risk

 

Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows from the Company’s financial assets or liabilities. To partially mitigate the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on future commodity revenues and expenses, the Company may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts. As at June 30, 2023, the Company has entered into $266 million notional U.S. dollar denominated currency swaps at an average exchange rate of C$1.3470 to US$1, which mature monthly through the remainder of 2023.

C) Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that the Company may incur a loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligation in accordance with agreed terms. While exchange-traded contracts are subject to nominal credit risk due to the financial safeguards established by the exchanges and clearing agencies, over-the-counter traded contracts expose Ovintiv to counterparty credit risk. Counterparties to the Company’s derivative financial instruments consist primarily of major financial institutions and companies within the energy industry. This credit risk exposure is mitigated through the use of credit policies approved by the Board of Directors governing the Company’s credit portfolio including credit practices that limit transactions according to counterparties’ credit quality. Mitigation strategies may include master netting arrangements, requesting collateral, purchasing credit insurance and/or transacting credit derivatives. The Company executes commodity derivative financial instruments under master agreements that have netting provisions that provide for offsetting payables against receivables. Ovintiv actively evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, assigns appropriate credit limits and monitors credit exposures against those assigned limits. As at June 30, 2023, Ovintiv’s maximum exposure of loss due to credit risk from derivative financial instrument assets on a gross and net fair value basis was $221 million and $188 million, respectively, as disclosed in Note 18. The Company had no significant credit derivatives in place and held no collateral at June 30, 2023.

Any cash equivalents include high-grade, short-term securities, placed primarily with financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Any foreign currency agreements entered into are with major financial institutions that have investment grade credit ratings.

A substantial portion of the Company’s accounts receivable are with customers and working interest owners in the oil and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. As at June 30, 2023, approximately 86 percent (88 percent as at December 31, 2022) of Ovintiv’s accounts receivable and financial derivative credit exposures were with investment grade counterparties.

During 2015 and 2017, the Company entered into agreements resulting from divestitures, which may require Ovintiv to fulfill certain payment obligations on the take or pay volume commitments assumed by the purchasers. The circumstances that would require Ovintiv to perform under the agreements include events where a purchaser fails to make payment to the guaranteed party and/or a purchaser is subject to an insolvency event. The agreements expire in June 2024 with a fair value recognized of $5 million as at June 30, 2023 ($5 million as at December 31, 2022). The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments is $23 million as at June 30, 2023, and is considered unlikely.

Operating leases with terms greater than one year are not included in the commitments table above. The table above includes short-term leases with contract terms less than 12 months, such as drilling rigs and field office leases, as well as non-lease operating cost components associated with building leases.

 

Included within transportation and processing in the table above are certain commitments associated with midstream service agreements with VMLP as described in Note 15. Divestiture transactions can reduce certain commitments disclosed above.

Contingencies

 

Ovintiv is involved in various legal claims and actions arising in the normal course of the Company’s operations. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on Ovintiv’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

33


 

Management’s assessment of these matters may change in the future as certain of these matters are in early stages or are subject to a number of uncertainties. For material matters that the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, the Company discloses the nature and a range of potential exposures. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material impact on the Company’s consolidated net earnings or loss for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on the Company’s information known about the matters, estimates of the outcomes of such matters and experience in handling similar matters.

Highlights

During the first six months of 2023, the Company focused on executing its 2023 capital investment plan aimed at maximizing profitability through operational and capital efficiencies, minimizing the impact of inflation and delivering cash from operating activities. In conjunction with closing the Permian Acquisition as discussed below, the Company was also focused on integrating the additional Permian assets into its existing operations. Lower upstream product revenues in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022, primarily resulted from lower average realized prices, excluding the impact of risk management activities. Decreases in average realized natural gas and liquids prices of 46 percent and 32 percent, respectively, were primarily due to lower benchmark prices. Ovintiv continues to focus on optimizing realized prices from the diversification of the Company’s downstream markets.

Significant Developments

On June 12, 2023, the Company closed its previously announced purchase agreement to acquire substantially all leasehold interest and related assets from Black Swan Oil & Gas, LLC, PetroLegacy II Holdings, LLC, Piedra Energy III Holdings, LLC and Piedra Energy IV Holdings, LLC, which were portfolio companies of funds managed by EnCap Investments L.P. (“Permian Acquisition”). The Company issued approximately 31.8 million shares of Ovintiv common stock and paid approximately $3.2 billion in cash upon closing, for total consideration of approximately $4.4 billion which included customary closing adjustments of approximately $85 million. The acquisition added approximately 65,000 net acres in the Midland Basin and approximately 1,050 net well locations to Ovintiv’s Permian inventory. The transaction had an effective date of January 1, 2023.
On June 12, 2023, the Company closed its previously announced agreement to sell the entirety of its Bakken assets, comprising approximately 46,000 net acres in the Williston Basin of North Dakota, to Grayson Mill Bakken, LLC, a portfolio company managed by EnCap Investments L.P., for proceeds of approximately $706 million after customary closing adjustments of approximately $119 million. The transaction had an effective date of January 1, 2023.
On June 12, 2023, the Company announced its inclusion on the S&P 400 index effective June 20, 2023.
On May 31, 2023, the Company issued $2.3 billion in senior unsecured notes with varying maturity dates and interest rates. The net proceeds from the bond offering were used to finance a portion of the Permian Acquisition.
On April 3, 2023, Ovintiv announced an increase of 20 percent to its quarterly per share dividend payment representing an annualized dividend of $1.20 per share of common stock as part of the Company’s commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

Operating Expenses

During the six months ended June 30, 2023

Incurred total upstream transportation and processing expenses of $830 million or $8.45 per BOE, an increase of $52 million compared to 2022, primarily due to higher costs relating to the diversification of the Company’s downstream markets, higher gas volumes in Bakken and Permian, and rate escalation of transportation contracts in Uinta and Bakken, partially offset by lower variable contract rates in Permian.
Incurred total upstream operating expenses of $368 million or $3.75 per BOE, an increase of $15 million compared to 2022, primarily due to increased activity resulting from more wells on production and sustained inflationary pressures, partially offset by the sale of portions of Uinta assets in 2022 and higher recoveries from updated operating contract terms.
Total upstream transportation and processing, and operating expenses both decreased by $0.15 per BOE compared to 2022 due to higher production volumes.
Incurred total production, mineral and other taxes of $160 million, which represents approximately 4.5 percent of upstream revenues. Total production, mineral and other taxes decreased by $52 million compared to 2022, primarily due to lower production taxes as a result of lower commodity prices in the USA Operations.

The Company’s upstream operations refers to the summation of the USA and Canadian operating segments. Additional information on the items above and other expenses can be found in the Results of Operations section of this MD&A.

2023 Outlook

Industry Outlook

Oil Markets

The oil and gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are inherently volatile. Oil prices reflect global supply and demand dynamics as well as the geopolitical and macroeconomic environment.

Oil prices for the remainder of 2023 will be impacted by the interplay between recessionary concerns and the resulting direction of global demand for oil, continued OPEC+ production restraint and continued supply uncertainties resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Recessionary concerns continue to have an impact on global demand as central banks maintain tight monetary policies. Supply and the accumulation of global oil inventories will be impacted by changes in OPEC+ production levels, the extent of decline in oil exports from Russia and changes in production by non-OPEC countries.

OPEC+ continues to proactively adjust its production in an attempt to stabilize global oil markets. During the second quarter of 2023, OPEC+ announced additional production cuts which are expected to remain in place through 2024 and Russia extended previously announced production cuts which are expected to remain in place until the end of 2023.

Natural Gas Markets

Natural gas prices are primarily impacted by structural changes in supply and demand as well as deviations from seasonally normal weather.

Natural gas prices for the remainder of 2023 will be impacted by the interplay between natural gas production and associated natural gas from oil production, changes in demand from the power generation sector, changes in export levels of U.S. liquefied natural gas, impacts from seasonal weather, as well as supply chain constraints or other disruptions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Company Outlook

The Company will continue to exercise discretion and discipline to optimize capital allocation throughout 2023 following the closing of the Permian Acquisition and as the commodity price environment evolves. Ovintiv pursues innovative ways to maximize cash flows and minimize the impact of inflation to reduce upstream operating and administrative expenses.

Markets for oil and natural gas are exposed to different price risks and are inherently volatile. To mitigate price volatility and provide more certainty around cash flows, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments. With the closing of the Permian Acquisition and the expected additional production volumes in 2023, the Company has undertaken additional oil hedge positions since the agreement was announced. As at June 30, 2023, the Company has hedged approximately 110.0 Mbbls/d of expected oil and condensate production and 595 MMcf/d of expected natural gas production for the remainder of the year. In addition, Ovintiv proactively utilizes transportation contracts to diversify the Company’s sales markets, thereby reducing significant exposure to any given market and regional pricing.

Additional information on Ovintiv’s hedging program can be found in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Capital Investment

The Company continues to execute its 2023 capital investment program, focusing on maximizing returns from high margin liquids and generating significant cash flows in excess of capital expenditures.

In June 2023, the Company revised its second quarter and full year 2023 capital investment guidance ranges reflecting the closing of the Permian Acquisition and sale of the Bakken assets. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company invested $640 million, which was lower than the second quarter guidance range of $670 million to $710 million due to capital efficiencies and higher recoveries from updated operating contract terms. In July 2023, the Company further updated its full year 2023 capital investment guidance range to $2,680 million to $2,850 million to reflect execution efficiencies and cost savings.

38


 

Ovintiv continually strives to improve well performance and lower costs through innovative techniques. Ovintiv’s large-scale cube development model utilizes multi-well pads and advanced completion designs to maximize returns and resource recovery from its reservoirs. Ovintiv’s disciplined capital program and continuous innovation create flexibility to allocate capital in changing commodity markets to minimize the impact of inflation and maximize cash flows while preserving the long-term value of the Company’s multi-basin portfolio.

Production

In June 2023, the Company updated its second quarter and full year 2023 guidance ranges for oil and condensate, and total production volumes to reflect the closing of the Permian Acquisition and sale of the Bakken assets.

During the second quarter of 2023, total average production volumes were 573.0 MBOE/d, which exceeded the second quarter guidance range of 520.0 MBOE/d to 540.0 MBOE/d. Average oil and plant condensate production volumes were 185.9 Mbbls/d, average other NGL production volumes were 96.8 Mbbls/d and average natural gas production volumes were 1,743 MMcf/d, which exceeded second quarter guidance ranges of 175.0 Mbbls/d to 179.0 Mbbls/d, 85.0 Mbbls/d to 90.0 Mbbls/d and 1,575 MMcf/d to 1,625 MMcf/d, respectively.

In July 2023, the Company further updated its full year 2023 production volume guidance ranges to reflect strong well performance and lower royalty rates in Montney. The Company expects to meet its full year 2023 total production guidance range of 535.0 MBOE/d to 550.0 MBOE/d, including oil and plant condensate production volumes of approximately 190.0 Mbbls/d to 196.0 Mbbls/d, other NGLs production volumes of approximately 83.0 Mbbls/d to 87.0 Mbbls/d and natural gas production volumes of approximately 1,575 MMcf/d to 1,625 MMcf/d.

Operating Expenses

During the first six months of 2023, the oil and gas industry experienced continued supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures resulting from the elevated commodity price environment. However, with recent declines in commodity prices and oil and gas activity, the industry has begun to see decreases in inflationary pressures. While some supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures may persist for the remainder of 2023, the Company expects inflation to stabilize. Ovintiv continues to minimize any inflationary pressures with efficiency improvements and effective supply chain management to reduce upstream operating expenses. The Company quickly deploys best practices across its portfolio, ultimately maximizing the performance and overall efficiency of its operations.

In July 2023, the Company updated its upstream transportation and processing costs guidance range to approximately $8.25 per BOE to $8.75 per BOE for the remainder of the year. The Company is on track to maintain upstream operating expenses of approximately $4.00 per BOE to $4.50 per BOE, and total production, mineral and other taxes of approximately four to five percent of upstream revenues.

Long-Term Debt

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company closed the Permian Acquisition and funded the cash portion of the transaction with net proceeds of $2,278 million from the issuance of senior unsecured notes, cash proceeds received from the sale of the Company’s Bakken assets, cash on hand and proceeds from short-term borrowings.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company had $330 million of commercial paper outstanding under its U.S. commercial paper (“U.S. CP”) programs and $350 million outstanding under its revolving credit facilities.

Additional information on Ovintiv’s long-term debt and liquidity position can be found in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this MD&A, respectively.

Environmental, Social and Governance

Ovintiv recognizes climate change as a global concern and the importance of reducing its environmental footprint as part of the solution. The Company voluntarily participates in emission reduction programs and has adopted a range of strategies to help reduce emissions from its operations. These strategies include incorporating new and proven technologies and optimizing processes in its operations and working closely with third-party providers to develop best practices. The Company continues to look for innovative techniques and efficiencies to help maintain its commitment to emission reductions.

In May 2023, Ovintiv published its full year 2022 ESG results in its 2023 sustainability report, which highlights the Company’s progress in emissions intensity reductions including an emissions reduction roadmap aimed to meet the Company’s Scope 1&2 GHG emissions target by 2030. As at the end of 2022, the Company has achieved a greater than 30 percent reduction in the Scope 1&2 GHG emissions intensity and is on track to meet its emissions intensity reduction target of 50 percent by 2030. The GHG emissions reduction target is tied to the annual compensation program for all employees.

Ovintiv’s constant pursuit of efficiencies and continuous improvements allowed the Company to eliminate routine flaring in its operations. The Company is in full alignment with the World Bank Zero Routine Flaring initiative, well ahead of the World Bank’s target date of 2030.

In June 2023, the Company closed the Permian Acquisition, increasing both oil production volumes and net premium inventory in the Permian. The Company is working to understand the impact of the additional Permian assets on its emissions profile and Ovintiv is undergoing an integration period to align the performance of the acquired inventory into the Company’s existing assets. Ovintiv remains committed to its ESG targets.

Ovintiv is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”). The Company’s social commitment framework, which is rooted in the Company’s foundational values of integrity, safety, sustainability, trust and respect, fosters a culture of inclusion that respects stakeholders and strengthens communities.

Ovintiv remains committed to protecting the health and safety of its workforce. Safety is a foundational value at Ovintiv and plays a critical role in the Company’s belief that a safe workplace is a strong indicator of a well-managed business. This safety-oriented mindset enables the Company to quickly respond to emergencies and minimize any impacts to employees and business continuity. Safety performance goals are incorporated into the Company’s annual compensation program. Additional information on DEI and employee safety can be found in the Human Capital section of Items 1 and 2 of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Additional information on Ovintiv’s ESG practices are included in its most recent Sustainability Report on the Company’s sustainability website at https://sustainability.ovintiv.com.

Revenues

Ovintiv’s revenues are substantially derived from sales of oil, NGLs and natural gas production. Increases or decreases in Ovintiv’s revenue, profitability and future production are highly dependent on the commodity prices the Company receives. Prices are market driven and fluctuate due to factors beyond the Company’s control, such as supply and demand, seasonality and geopolitical and economic factors. The Company’s realized prices generally reflect WTI, NYMEX, Edmonton Condensate and AECO benchmark prices, as well as other downstream benchmarks, including Houston and Dawn. The Company proactively mitigates price risk and optimizes margins by entering into firm transportation contracts to diversify market access to different sales points. Realized prices, excluding the impact of risk management activities, may differ from the benchmarks for many reasons, including quality, location, or production being sold at different market hubs.

Benchmark prices relevant to the Company are shown in the table below.

Revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 exclude certain other revenue and royalty adjustments with no associated production volumes of $3 million and $5 million, respectively.

Oil Revenues

Three months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Oil revenues were lower by $368 million compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

A decrease of $35.74 per bbl, or 33 percent, in the average realized oil prices which decreased revenues by $463 million. The decrease reflected lower WTI and Houston benchmark prices which were both down 32 percent, and the weakening of regional pricing relative to the WTI benchmark price in the USA Operations; and
Higher average oil production volumes of 9.6 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $95 million. Higher volumes were primarily due to the Permian Acquisition in the second quarter of 2023 (9.9 Mbbls/d) and successful drilling in Permian and Bakken (7.8 Mbbls/d), partially offset by natural declines in Anadarko (4.8 Mbbls/d), and the sale of the Bakken assets in the second quarter of 2023 (2.6 Mbbls/d).

Six months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Oil revenues were lower by $595 million compared to the first six months of 2022 primarily due to:

A decrease of $27.63 per bbl, or 27 percent, in the average realized oil prices which decreased revenues by $675 million. The decrease reflected lower WTI and Houston benchmark prices which were both down 26 percent, and the weakening of regional pricing relative to the WTI benchmark price in the USA Operations; and
Higher average oil production volumes of 4.4 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $80 million. Higher volumes were primarily due to successful drilling in Bakken (5.2 Mbbls/d) and the Permian Acquisition in the second quarter of 2023 (5.0 Mbbls/d), partially offset by natural declines in Anadarko (3.9 Mbbls/d), and the sale of portions of the Uinta assets in the third quarter of 2022 and the sale of the Bakken assets in the second quarter of 2023 (2.9 Mbbls/d).

43


 

NGL Revenues

Three months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

NGL revenues were lower by $299 million compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

A decrease of $22.60 per bbl, or 61 percent, in the average realized other NGL prices which decreased revenues by $202 million. The decrease reflected lower other NGL benchmark prices and lower regional pricing;
A decrease of $35.60 per bbl, or 35 percent, in the average realized plant condensate prices which decreased revenues by $141 million. The decrease reflected lower WTI and Edmonton Condensate benchmark prices which were down 32 percent and 30 percent, respectively, and lower regional pricing relative to the WTI benchmark price; and
Higher average other NGL production volumes of 9.8 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $37 million. Higher volumes were primarily due to successful drilling in Permian, Bakken and Montney (7.3 Mbbls/d), and lower effective royalty rates resulting from lower commodity prices in Montney (3.2 Mbbls/d).

Six months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

NGL revenues were lower by $506 million compared to the first six months of 2022 primarily due to:

A decrease of $18.48 per bbl, or 51 percent, in the average realized other NGL prices which decreased revenues by $304 million. The decrease reflected lower other NGL benchmark prices and lower regional pricing;
A decrease of $28.37 per bbl, or 29 percent, in the average realized plant condensate prices which decreased revenues by $208 million. The decrease reflected lower WTI and Edmonton Condensate benchmark prices which were down 26 percent and 21 percent, respectively, and lower regional pricing relative to the WTI benchmark price;
Lower average plant condensate production volumes of 2.5 Mbbls/d decreased revenues by $49 million. Lower volumes were primarily due to natural declines in Montney (3.8 Mbbls/d), partially offset by successful drilling in Montney, Permian and Bakken (1.3 Mbbls/d); and
Higher average other NGL production volumes of 8.5 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $55 million. Higher volumes were primarily due to successful drilling in Permian, Bakken and Montney (5.3 Mbbls/d), higher recoveries of other NGLs in Anadarko (2.1 Mbbls/d) and lower effective royalty rates resulting from lower commodity prices in Montney (1.5 Mbbls/d).

Natural Gas Revenues

Three months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Natural gas revenues were lower by $571 million compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

A decrease of $4.83 per Mcf, or 71 percent, in the average realized natural gas prices which decreased revenues by $765 million. The decrease reflected lower NYMEX, Dawn and AECO benchmark prices which were down 71 percent, 70 percent and 63 percent, respectively; and
Higher average natural gas production volumes of 317 MMcf/d increased revenues by $194 million primarily due to lower effective royalty rates resulting from lower commodity prices in Montney (193 MMcf/d), and successful drilling in Montney, Permian and Bakken (143 MMcf/d).

Six months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Natural gas revenues were lower by $584 million compared to the first six months of 2022 primarily due to:

A decrease of $2.62 per Mcf, or 46 percent, in the average realized natural gas prices which decreased revenues by $781 million. The decrease reflected lower Dawn, NYMEX and AECO benchmark prices which were down 57 percent, 54 percent and 38 percent, respectively; and
Higher average natural gas production volumes of 193 MMcf/d increased revenues by $197 million primarily due to successful drilling in Montney, Permian and Bakken (126 MMcf/d), and lower effective royalty rates resulting from lower commodity prices in Montney (82 MMcf/d).

Three months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Transportation and processing expense decreased $1 million compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

Lower variable contract rates in Permian ($27 million), lower downstream transport costs in Montney ($16 million), higher U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate ($12 million) and the sale of the Bakken assets in the second quarter of 2023 ($5 million);

partially offset by:

Higher costs relating to the diversification of the Company’s downstream markets ($17 million), higher gas volumes in Permian and Bakken ($16 million), higher flow-through rates resulting from increased third-party plant operating costs in Montney ($12 million), third-party plant turnarounds in Montney ($10 million) and rate escalation of transportation contracts in Uinta and Bakken ($8 million).

Six months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Transportation and processing expense increased $48 million compared to the first six months of 2022 primarily due to:

Higher costs relating to the diversification of the Company’s downstream markets ($34 million), higher gas volumes in Bakken and Permian ($26 million), rate escalation of transportation contracts in Uinta and Bakken ($25 million), higher flow-through rates resulting from increased third-party plant operating costs in Montney ($24 million) and third-party plant turnarounds in Montney ($11 million);

partially offset by:

Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization

Proved properties within each country cost center are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Depletion rates are impacted by impairments, acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange rates, as well as fluctuations in 12-month average trailing prices which affect proved reserves volumes. Corporate assets are carried at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated service lives of the assets.

 

Additional information can be found under Upstream Assets and Reserve Estimates in the Critical Accounting Estimates section of the MD&A included in Item 7 of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Income Tax Expense (Recovery)

Three months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

In the second quarter of 2023, Ovintiv recorded higher income tax expense of $36 million compared to 2022 primarily due to changes in valuation allowances and the expected full utilization of Ovintiv’s operating losses in Canada, resulting in current tax in 2023.

52


 

Six months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

In the first six months of 2023, Ovintiv recorded higher income tax expense of $167 million compared to 2022 primarily due to changes in valuation allowances and the expected full utilization of Ovintiv’s operating losses in Canada, resulting in current tax in 2023.

Effective Tax Rate

Ovintiv’s interim income tax expense is determined using the estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year‑to‑date net earnings before income tax plus the effect of legislative changes and amounts in respect of prior periods. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is impacted by expected annual earnings, changes in valuation allowances, income tax related to foreign operations, state taxes, the effect of legislative changes, non-taxable items and tax differences on transactions, which can produce interim effective tax rate fluctuations.

For the second quarter and the first six months of 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was 23.1 percent and 21.6 percent, respectively, which are higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to state taxes.

For the second quarter and the first six months of 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was 4.6 percent and 5.1 percent, respectively, which were lower than the U.S federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to a lower annual effective income tax rate resulting from a reduction in valuation allowances.

The determination of income and other tax liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries requires interpretation of complex domestic and foreign tax laws and regulations, that are subject to change. The Company’s interpretation of tax laws may differ from the interpretation of the tax authorities. As a result, there are tax matters under review for which the timing of resolution is uncertain. The Company believes that the provision for income taxes is adequate.

Additional information on income taxes can be found in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

The Company has the flexibility to access cash equivalents and a range of funding alternatives at competitive rates through committed revolving credit facilities as well as debt and equity capital markets. Ovintiv closely monitors the accessibility of cost-effective credit and seeks to ensure that sufficient liquidity is in place to fund capital expenditures and dividend payments. In addition, the Company may use cash and cash equivalents, cash from operating activities, or proceeds from asset divestitures to fund its operations and capital allocation framework or to manage its capital structure as discussed below. At June 30, 2023, $46 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by Canadian subsidiaries. The cash held by Canadian subsidiaries is accessible and may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and Canadian withholding taxes if repatriated.

The Company’s capital structure consists of total shareholders’ equity plus long-term debt, including any current portion. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility to preserve Ovintiv’s access to capital markets and its ability to meet financial obligations and finance internally generated growth, as well as potential acquisitions. Ovintiv has a practice of maintaining capital discipline and strategically managing its capital structure by adjusting capital spending, adjusting dividends paid to shareholders, issuing new shares of common stock, purchasing shares of common stock for cancellation or return to treasury, issuing new debt and repaying or repurchasing existing debt.

The Company has full access to two committed revolving U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities totaling $3.5 billion, which include a $2.2 billion revolving credit facility for Ovintiv Inc. and a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility for a Canadian subsidiary (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities, which mature in July 2026, provide financial flexibility and allow the Company to fund its operations or capital investment program. At June 30, 2023, $350 million was outstanding under the revolving Credit Facilities.

Depending on the Company’s credit rating and market demand, the Company may issue from its two U.S. CP programs, which include a $1.5 billion program for Ovintiv Inc. and a $1.0 billion program for a Canadian subsidiary. As at June 30, 2023, the Company had $330 million of commercial paper outstanding under its U.S. CP program maturing at various dates with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.98 percent, which is supported by the Company’s Credit Facilities. All of Ovintiv’s credit ratings are investment grade as at June 30, 2023.

The Credit Facilities, uncommitted demand lines, and cash and cash equivalents, net of outstanding commercial paper, provide Ovintiv with total liquidity of approximately $3.2 billion as at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023, Ovintiv also had approximately $48 million in undrawn letters of credit issued in the normal course of business primarily as collateral security related to sales arrangements.

On June 12, 2023, the Company closed the Permian Acquisition and issued approximately 31.8 million shares of Ovintiv common stock and paid approximately $3.2 billion in cash, for total consideration of approximately $4.4 billion, which included customary closing adjustments. The cash portion of the acquisition was funded through a combination of net proceeds from the issuance of senior unsecured notes, cash proceeds received from the sale of the Company’s Bakken assets, cash on hand and proceeds from short-term borrowings.

Ovintiv has a U.S. shelf registration statement under which the Company may issue from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, units, share purchase contracts and share purchase units in the U.S. The U.S. shelf registration statement was renewed in March 2023.

The obligations under the Company’s existing debt securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Ovintiv Canada ULC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Additional information on the Company’s Canadian Operations segment and the Bow office lease can be found in the Results of Operations section in this MD&A and the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the MD&A and audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in Items 7 and 8, respectively, of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Ovintiv is currently in compliance with, and expects that it will continue to be in compliance with, all financial covenants under the Credit Facilities. Management monitors Debt to Adjusted Capitalization, which is a non-GAAP measure defined in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A, as a proxy for Ovintiv’s financial covenant under the Credit Facilities, which requires Debt to Adjusted Capitalization to be less than 60 percent. As at June 30, 2023, the Company’s Debt to Adjusted Capitalization was 26 percent. The definitions used in the covenant under the Credit Facilities adjust capitalization for cumulative historical ceiling test impairments recorded in conjunction with the Company’s January 1, 2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP. Additional information on financial covenants can be found in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

The Company’s debt-based metrics have increased over the prior year primarily due to the increase in long-term debt resulting from the Permian Acquisition.

 

Sources and Uses of Cash

In the first six months of 2023, Ovintiv primarily generated cash through operating activities and received net proceeds from the Company’s debt issuance to fund a portion of the Permian Acquisition.

Operating Activities

Net cash from operating activities in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 was $831 million and $1,899 million, respectively, and was primarily a reflection of the impacts from lower average realized commodity prices, partially offset by lower realized losses on risk management in revenues, changes in non‑cash working capital and higher production volumes.

Additional detail on changes in non-cash working capital can be found in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Ovintiv expects it will continue to meet the payment terms of its suppliers.

Non-GAAP Cash Flow in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 was $699 million and $1,550 million, respectively, and was primarily impacted by the items affecting cash from operating activities which are discussed below and in the Results of Operations section of this MD&A.

55


 

Three months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Net cash from operating activities decreased $513 million compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

Lower realized commodity prices ($1,571 million), higher administrative expenses, excluding non-cash long-term incentive costs ($83 million) and increase in current income taxes ($47 million);

partially offset by:

Realized gains on risk management in revenues compared to losses in 2022 ($813 million), higher production volumes ($333 million) and lower production, mineral and other taxes ($42 million).

Six months ended June 30, 2023 versus June 30, 2022

Net cash from operating activities decreased $130 million compared to the first six months of 2022 primarily due to:

Lower realized commodity prices ($1,968 million), increase in current income taxes ($106 million), higher administrative expenses, excluding non-cash long-term incentive costs ($59 million), higher transportation and processing expense ($48 million), higher operating expense, excluding non-cash long-term incentive costs ($19 million) and lower interest income ($16 million);

partially offset by:

Lower realized losses on risk management in revenues compared to 2022 ($1,183 million), changes in non-cash working capital ($579 million), higher production volumes ($283 million) and lower production, mineral and other taxes ($52 million).

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2023 was $3,871 million primarily due to acquisitions and capital expenditures. Capital expenditures, and acquisition and divestiture activities are summarized in Notes 2 and 7, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Capital expenditures increased $288 million compared to the first six months of 2022, primarily due to a higher capital expenditure plan, inflationary cost pressures and timing of projects.

Acquisitions in the first six months of 2023 were $214 million, which primarily included property purchases with oil and liquids rich potential (2022 - $22 million).

Corporate acquisition in the first six months of 2023 was $3,225 million, which relates to the Permian Acquisition in the second quarter of 2023. Additional information regarding the Permian Acquisition can be found in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Divestitures in the first six months of 2023 were $729 million, which primarily included the sale of the Bakken assets in North Dakota and certain properties that did not complement Ovintiv’s existing portfolio of assets. Divestitures in the first six months of 2022 were $5 million, which primarily included certain properties that did not complement Ovintiv’s existing portfolio of assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash from and/or used in financing activities has been impacted by the Company’s bond offering in the second quarter of 2023 and Ovintiv’s strategic objective to return value to shareholders by repaying or repurchasing existing debt, purchasing shares of common stock and paying dividends.

Net cash from financing activities in the first six months of 2023 was $2,022 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1,282 million in 2022. The change was primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2023 of $2,278 million as discussed below compared to a repayment in 2022 of $1,109 million and net issuance of revolving long-term debt ($72 million), partially offset by increased purchases of shares of common stock under the Company’s NCIB program in 2023 compared to 2022 ($122 million) and an increase in dividend payments in 2023 ($27 million).

56


 

From time to time, Ovintiv may seek to retire or purchase the Company’s outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other debt or equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

The Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion of $680 million, totaled $6,134 million at June 30, 2023. The Company’s long-term debt at December 31, 2022, including the current portion of $393 million, totaled $3,570 million. As at June 30, 2023, the Company has no fixed rate long-term debt due until 2025 and beyond.

On May 31, 2023, Ovintiv completed a public offering of senior unsecured notes of $600 million with a coupon rate of 5.65 percent due May 15, 2025, $700 million with a coupon rate of 5.65 percent due May 15, 2028, $600 million with a coupon rate of 6.25 percent due July 15, 2033 and $400 million with a coupon rate of 7.10 percent due July 15, 2053. The net proceeds of the offering, totaling $2,278 million, were used to fund a portion of the Company’s Permian Acquisition.

In support of the Company’s commitment to unlocking shareholder value, Ovintiv utilizes its capital allocation framework to increase returns to shareholders and to focus on strategic opportunities to strengthen the balance sheet. Ovintiv expects to continue to deliver additional shareholder returns through share buybacks under its NCIB program.

For additional information on long-term debt refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Further details on the Company’s debt-based metrics can be found in the Non-GAAP measures section of this MD&A.

On July 27, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock payable on September 29, 2023, to common shareholders of record as of September 15, 2023.

Dividends increased $27 million compared to the first six months of 2022 as a result of Ovintiv increasing its annualized dividend to $1.00 per share of common stock in the second quarter of 2022 and a further increase to an annualized dividend of $1.20 per share of common stock in the second quarter of 2023. The dividend increase reflects the Company’s commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

On September 28, 2022, the Company announced it had received regulatory approval for the renewal of its NCIB program, that enables the Company to purchase, for cancellation or return to treasury, up to approximately 24.8 million shares of common stock over a 12-month period from October 3, 2022 to October 2, 2023. The number of shares authorized for purchase represents approximately 10 percent of Ovintiv’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as at September 19, 2022. The Company expects to continue to execute the renewed NCIB program in conjunction with its capital allocation framework.

In the second quarter and first six months of 2023, under the current NCIB program, the Company purchased, for cancellation, approximately 2.5 million and 7.7 million, respectively, shares of common stock for total consideration of approximately $89 million and $328 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP Measures

Certain measures in this document 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 issuers and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP. These measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by Ovintiv to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. Non-GAAP measures include: Non-GAAP Cash Flow, Debt to Adjusted Capitalization, Debt to EBITDA and Debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Management’s use of these measures is discussed further below.

Cash from Operating Activities and Non-GAAP Cash Flow

Non-GAAP Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash from (used in) operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, and net change in non-cash working capital.

Management believes this measure is 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 is an indication of the Company’s ability to generate cash to finance capital investment programs, to service debt and to meet other financial obligations. This measure is used, along with other measures, in the calculation of certain performance targets for the Company’s management and employees.

Debt to Capitalization and Debt to Adjusted Capitalization

Debt to Adjusted Capitalization is a non-GAAP measure which adjusts capitalization for historical ceiling test impairments that were recorded as at December 31, 2011. Management monitors Debt to Adjusted Capitalization as a proxy for the Company’s financial covenant under the Credit Facilities which require Debt to Adjusted Capitalization to be less than 60 percent. Adjusted Capitalization includes debt, total shareholders’ equity and an equity adjustment for cumulative historical ceiling test impairments recorded as at December 31, 2011 in conjunction with the Company’s January 1, 2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP.

Debt to EBITDA and Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

Debt to EBITDA and Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA is defined as trailing 12-month net earnings (loss) before income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and interest. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for impairments, accretion of asset retirement obligation, unrealized gains/losses on risk management, foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on divestitures and other gains/losses.

Management believes these measures are useful to the Company and its investors as a measure of financial leverage and the Company’s ability to service its debt and other financial obligations. These measures are used, along with other measures, in the calculation of certain financial performance targets for the Company’s management and employees.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about Ovintiv’s potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the Company’s risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil, NGL and natural gas prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The following disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. The forward-looking information provides indicators of how the Company views and manages ongoing market risk exposures.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

Commodity price risk arises from the effect fluctuations in future commodity prices, including oil, NGLs and natural gas, may have on future revenues, expenses and cash flows. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to the Company’s natural gas production. Pricing for oil, NGLs and natural gas production is volatile and unpredictable as discussed in Part 1, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q in the Executive Overview section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. To partially mitigate exposure to commodity price risk, the Company may enter into various derivative financial instruments including futures, forwards, swaps, options and costless collars. The use of these derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors and may vary from time to time. Both exchange traded and over-the-counter traded derivative instruments may be subject to margin-deposit requirements, and the Company may be required from time to time to deposit cash or provide letters of credit with exchange brokers or counterparties to satisfy these margin requirements. For additional information relating to the Company’s derivative and financial instruments, see Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.

The table below summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s risk management positions to fluctuations in commodity prices, with all other variables held constant. The Company has used a 10 percent variability to assess the potential impact of commodity price changes. Fluctuations in commodity prices could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting pre-tax net earnings as follows:

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows from the Company’s financial assets or liabilities. As Ovintiv operates primarily in the United States and Canada, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars can have a significant effect on the Company’s reported results.

The table below summarizes selected foreign exchange impacts on Ovintiv’s financial results when compared to the same periods in 2022.

Foreign exchange gains and losses also arise when monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated and settled, and primarily include:

U.S. dollar denominated financing debt issued from Canada
U.S. dollar denominated risk management assets and liabilities held in Canada
U.S. dollar denominated cash and short-term investments held in Canada
Foreign denominated intercompany loans

To partially mitigate the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on future commodity revenues and expenses, the Company may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts. As at June 30, 2023, Ovintiv has entered into $266 million notional U.S. dollar denominated currency swaps at an average exchange rate of C$1.3470 to US$1, which mature monthly through the remainder of 2023.

As at June 30, 2023, Ovintiv did not have any U.S. dollar denominated financing debt issued from Canada that was subject to foreign exchange exposure.

The table below summarizes the sensitivity to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, with all other variables held constant. The Company has used a 10 percent variability to assess the potential impact from Canadian to U.S. foreign currency exchange rate changes. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting pre-tax net earnings as follows:

INTEREST RATE RISK

Interest rate risk arises from changes in market interest rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows from the Company’s financial assets or liabilities. The Company may partially mitigate its exposure to interest rate changes by holding a mix of both fixed and floating rate debt and may also enter into interest rate derivatives to partially mitigate effects of fluctuations in market interest rates.

As at June 30, 2023, Ovintiv had floating rate revolving credit and term loan borrowings of $680 million. Accordingly, on a before-tax basis, the sensitivity for each one percent change in interest rates on floating rate revolving credit and term loan borrowings was $7 million.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Ovintiv’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, management’s assessment of, and conclusion on, the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting did not include the internal controls related to the Permian Acquisition that closed on June 12, 2023. Upon closing, the Permian Acquisition’s total assets acquired represented 33 percent of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2023. The assets acquired generated revenues of $67 million for the period from June 12, 2023, to June 30, 2023, which represented three percent and one percent of the Company’s consolidated total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Under guidelines established by the SEC, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal controls over financial reporting for a period of up to one year following an acquisition while integration occurs. The Company is in the process of assessing the internal controls over financial reporting of the Permian Acquisition. Except as noted above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II

 

Please refer to Item 3 of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10‑K and Note 21 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.

 

In July 2020, the Company received a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Air Quality (“UDAQ”). The NOV alleges violations under the federal Clean Air Act, the State of Utah’s State Implementation Plan, and the State of Utah’s air quality regulations for the oil and natural gas industry, at certain of the Company facilities located in the Uinta Basin. The Company has exchanged information with the EPA and UDAQ and is engaged in discussions aimed at resolving the allegations. The Company is unable to predict the financial impact of the NOV or the timing of its resolution at this time. Resolution of the matter may result in monetary sanctions of more than $300,000.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A., "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Issuer Purchase of Equity Securities

 

On September 28, 2022, the Company announced it had received regulatory approval to purchase, for cancellation or return to treasury, up to approximately 24.8 million shares of common stock pursuant to a NCIB over a 12-month period from October 3, 2022 to October 2, 2023. The number of shares of common stock authorized for purchase represents 10 percent of Ovintiv’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as at September 19, 2022.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock for total consideration of approximately $90 million at a weighted average price of $35.84. The following table presents the common shares purchased during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

(1)
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, no shares of common stock were repurchased through our broker in accordance with a Rule 10b5-1 compliant plan initially adopted by the Company on September 30, 2021.
(2)
Includes commissions but excludes excise taxes.

In the first quarter of 2022, Ovintiv obtained an exemption order (the “NCIB Exemption”) from the Alberta Securities Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission, which permits Ovintiv to make repurchases (the “Proposed Bids”), under its current and any future normal course issuer bids, through the facilities of the NYSE and other U.S.-based trading systems (collectively, “U.S. Markets”), in excess of the maximum allowable purchases under applicable Canadian securities laws. The NCIB Exemption applies to any Proposed Bid commenced within 36 months of the date of the exemption order and is subject to several other conditions, including that Ovintiv remain a U.S. and SEC foreign issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws. The purchases of common stock under a Proposed Bid must also be made in compliance with other applicable Canadian securities laws and applicable U.S. rules. Additionally, the NCIB Exemption imposed restrictions on the number of shares of common stock that may be acquired under the exemption, including that: (a) Ovintiv may not acquire common stock in reliance upon the exemption under subsection 4.8(3) of Canadian National Instrument 62-104 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids (“NI 62-104”) from the requirements applicable to issuer bids (the “Other Published Markets Exemption”) if the aggregate number of shares of common stock purchased by Ovintiv, and any person or company acting jointly or in concert with Ovintiv, in reliance on the NCIB Exemption and the Other Published Markets Exemption within any period of 12 months exceeds 5% of the outstanding common stock on the first day of such 12-month period; and (b) the aggregate number of shares of common stock purchased pursuant to (i) a Proposed Bid in reliance on the NCIB Exemption; (ii) exempt issuer bid purchases made in the normal course through the facilities of the TSX; and (iii) the Other Published Markets Exemption does not exceed, over the 12-month period of its current NCIB, 10% of Ovintiv’s public float.

64


 

As a result, the NCIB Exemption effectively allows Ovintiv to purchase up to 10% of its public float on U.S. Markets under its NCIB. Without the NCIB Exemption this amount would be limited to 5% of Ovintiv’s outstanding common stock within a 12-month period under applicable Canadian securities law.
