MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management's discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is dated March 2, 2022 and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a full understanding of the financial position and results of operations of Crescent Point Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Crescent Point”).
The audited consolidated financial statements and comparative information for the year ended December 31, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
STRUCTURE OF THE BUSINESS
The principal undertaking of Crescent Point is to carry on the business of acquiring, developing and holding interests in petroleum and natural gas properties and assets related thereto through a general partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries. Amounts in this MD&A are in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. References to “US$” and "US dollars" are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars.
Overview
Crescent Point's 2021 results demonstrate the Company's operational execution, dedication to strengthening the balance sheet and commitment to shareholder returns. WTI crude oil prices strengthened during the year, supporting strong financial results with adjusted funds flow from operations of $1.48 billion, net income of $2.36 billion and adjusted net earnings from operations of $515.3 million. The Company generated $788.4 of excess cash flow in 2021 and ended the year with a net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations of 1.4 times.
Crescent Point continued to enhance its asset portfolio in 2021 through two strategic transactions. In April it closed the acquisition of its Kaybob Duvernay assets for total consideration of $940.6 million including closing adjustments. The Kaybob acquisition provided an entry into an established liquids rich play and it included production of approximately 30,000 boe/d, weighted 65 percent towards condensate and liquids, and approximately 500 net sections of land. In June, the Company closed the disposition of its remaining non-core southeast Saskatchewan conventional assets for proceeds of $85.9 million after closing adjustments. In conjunction with the disposition, the Company reduced its corporate decommissioning liabilities by approximately 25 percent.
Crescent Point's production averaged 132,683 boe/d during 2021 which was in-line with the Company's guidance of 132,000 to 134,000 boe/d. Development capital expenditures totaled $624.2 million which was consistent with guidance of $625.0 million. Operating expenses were $625.3 million or $12.91/boe, under the Company's guidance of $635.0 million or $13.00 to $13.20/boe.
With the improvements to the Company's balance sheet, sustainability and free cash flow generating capabilities, the Company increased its return of capital to shareholders with increases to its base dividend and share repurchases under its Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB"). The Company declared two increases to its quarterly base dividend in 2021, from an initial quarterly dividend of $0.0025 per share to a quarterly dividend of $0.045 per share. The Company is currently targeting $150.0 million of aggregate share repurchases through the first half of 2022, inclusive of 2.8 million shares repurchased in December 2021 for $17.5 million.
Crescent Point's 2022 budget includes annual average production guidance of 133,000 to 137,000 boe/d, development capital expenditures of $825.0 to $900.0 million and operating expenses of $13.25 to $13.75/boe. Based on current forecast commodity prices and the Company's 2022 hedge book, the budget is expected to generate strong returns, significant excess cash flow, continued debt reduction and the opportunity to provide further returns of capital to shareholders.
Adjusted funds flow from operations, adjusted net earnings from operations, net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations and excess cash flow are specified financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures presented by other entities. Refer to the Specified Financial Measures section in this MD&A for further information.

Total production averaged 132,683 boe/d during 2021 compared to 121,642 boe/d in 2020. The increase of 9 percent was primarily due to production from the Kaybob Duvernay acquisition, which closed in the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by a reduced development capital program in the first half of 2021 as compared to 2020 and the non-core southeast Saskatchewan asset disposition in the second quarter of 2021. Production in 2020 was also impacted by the voluntary shut-in of production as a result of low crude oil prices, after which shut-in wells were reactivated in the third quarter of 2020.
The Company's weighting to crude oil and liquids production in 2021 decreased by 5 percent from the 2020 comparative year, primarily due to higher natural gas production as a result of the acquisition of the Kaybob Duvernay assets and the disposition of oil weighted assets in southeast Saskatchewan.

Crude oil prices strengthened in 2021, as the global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine roll outs facilitated increased mobility and reduced restrictions, resulting in higher demand for crude oil and crude oil products and lower inventory levels. WTI prices were positively impacted by continued supply management by OPEC which led to demand outpacing supply throughout 2021. The average US$ WTI benchmark price increased 72 percent during 2021 compared to 2020.
Natural gas prices strengthened in 2021, primarily due to increased weather-related demand, higher industrial demand and reduced supply due to lower trailing inventory levels. Expectations for continued strong demand, coupled with lower inventories, have been constructive for AECO pricing. The AECO daily benchmark price was 62 percent higher in 2021 compared to 2020.
U.S. natural gas prices were higher on average during 2021 as demand continued to outpace supply due to the global recovery from the pandemic, weather driven demand and supply shortages in Europe and Asia pushing global gas prices upward. The NYMEX benchmark gas price was 85 percent higher in 2021 compared to 2020.
Exhibit 2
chart-029321a935b148fb87c.jpgchart-0709ff4b88a64eb5b06.jpg
Crude oil and condensate differentials narrowed in 2021 due to lower inventory levels and higher demand. In 2020, differentials were impacted by pandemic related demand destruction and decreased supply due to shut-in production. Crude oil differentials narrowed in 2021, due to higher overall demand of crude oil and crude oil products along with lower inventory levels in the U.S. and Canada. In 2021, there was more stability in market prices due to the recovery, resulting in increased demand for diluent blending which improved C5+ differentials.
In 2021, the Company's average selling price for crude oil and condensate increased 80 percent from 2020, primarily due to the 72 percent increase in US$ WTI and a narrower corporate oil price differential. Crescent Point's corporate oil and condensate differential relative to Cdn$ WTI for the year ended 2021 was $6.73 per bbl compared to $9.32 per bbl in 2020. The improvement was driven by narrowing crude oil differentials and the increased weighting towards condensate production.

In 2021, the Company's average selling price for NGLs increased significantly from $17.19 per bbl to $42.33 per bbl. The increase in average selling price for NGLs was primarily due to the increase in US$ WTI and propane benchmark prices.
The Company's average selling price for natural gas in 2021 increased 49 percent to $4.51 per mcf, primarily as a result of the increase in the AECO and NYMEX benchmark prices.

Commodity Derivatives
Management of cash flow variability is an integral component of Crescent Point's business strategy. Crescent Point regularly monitors changing business and market conditions while executing its strategic risk management program. Crescent Point proactively manages the risk exposure inherent in movements in the price of crude oil, propane, natural gas, interest rates, the Company's share price and the US/Cdn dollar exchange rate through the use of derivatives with investment-grade counterparties.
The Company's crude oil, NGL and natural gas derivatives are referenced to WTI, Conway C3, NYMEX and AECO monthly index, respectively, unless otherwise noted. Crescent Point utilizes a variety of derivatives, including swaps, collars and put options to protect against downward commodity price movements while also providing the opportunity for some upside participation during periods of rising prices. This reduces the volatility of the selling price of crude oil and natural gas production and provides a measure of stability to the Company's cash flow. See Note 25 – "Financial Instruments and Derivatives" in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information on the Company's derivatives.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses increased to $77.3 million in 2021 compared to $73.3 million in 2020. The increase is primarily due to higher employee related costs, partially offset by lower professional fees. Severance charges have caused G&A to fluctuate with $8.9 million of severance and one-time costs related to the closure of the Company's U.S. corporate office in 2021, compared to $6.3 million of severance in 2020. Lower G&A expenses in 2020 included $9.8 million of remuneration received from the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS"). The Company made no CEWS claims in 2021.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, G&A expenses on a per boe basis decreased 3 percent compared to 2020, primarily due higher production volumes, partially offset by the increase in total G&A discussed above.
Transaction costs incurred in 2021 primarily relate to the Kaybob Duvernay acquisition and the southeast Saskatchewan disposition. Refer to Capital Acquisitions and Dispositions section in this MD&A for further information.

Interest expense on long-term debt decreased 6 percent in 2021, primarily due to the Company's lower effective interest rate. Crescent Point's hedged effective interest rate decreased to 4.13 percent in 2021 compared to 4.28 percent in 2020, reflecting the higher proportion of the Company's debt at lower floating rates.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized an unrealized loss on interest rate derivatives of $1.7 million compared to $14.5 million in 2020. The unrealized loss in 2021 was primarily due to the impact of the stronger Canadian dollar at December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 on the interest payments related to the Company's cross currency swaps ("CCS").
Crescent Point manages its interest rate exposure through a combination of interest rate swaps and a debt portfolio including short-term floating rate bank debt and long-term fixed rate senior guaranteed notes. At December 31, 2021, approximately 82 percent of the Company's long-term debt had fixed interest rates.

Crescent Point has US dollar denominated debt, including short-term London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") loans under its bank credit facilities and US dollar senior guaranteed notes. The Company hedges its foreign exchange exposure using a combination of CCS and foreign exchange swaps. During the year ended December 31, 2021, realized losses on CCS related to LIBOR loan maturities were offset by gains on CCS related to senior guaranteed note maturities.
The Company records foreign exchange gains or losses on the year end translation of US dollar long-term debt and related accrued interest. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a foreign exchange gain of $37.0 million, which was attributed to the stronger Canadian dollar at December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Crescent Point recorded an unrealized loss on foreign exchange derivatives of $34.4 million reflecting the impact of the stronger forward Canadian dollar on the Company's CCS at December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded share-based compensation ("SBC") costs of $77.7 million compared to $17.7 million in 2020. The higher SBC costs primarily relate to an increase in the fair value of cash-settled plans as a result of the increase in the Company's share price.
In 2021, the Company recognized an unrealized gain on equity derivative contracts of $22.8 million compared to $11.0 million in 2020. The unrealized gain was primarily due to the increase in the Company's share price at December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company also recognized a realized gain of $9.7 million on an equity derivative contract which matured during the first quarter of 2021.
The Company capitalized share-based compensation costs of $14.3 million in 2021, an increase of 165 percent from 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increase in total share-based compensation costs as noted above.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to adopt accounting policies that involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are developed based on the best available information and are believed by management to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. New events or additional information may result in the revision of these estimates over time. A summary of the significant accounting policies used by Crescent Point can be found in Note 3 – "Significant Accounting Policies" in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The following discussion outlines what management believes to be the most critical policies involving the use of estimates and assumptions.
Oil and gas activities
Reserves estimates, although not reported as part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, can have a significant effect on net income, assets and liabilities as a result of their impact on DD&A, decommissioning liability, deferred taxes, asset impairments and impairment reversals, and business combinations. Independent petroleum reservoir engineers perform evaluations of the Company’s oil and gas reserves on an annual basis. The estimation of reserves is an inherently complex process requiring significant judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves are based upon a number of variables and assumptions such as geoscientific interpretation, production forecasts, commodity prices, costs and related future cash flows, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. These estimates are expected to be revised upward or downward over time, as additional information such as reservoir performance becomes available, or as economic conditions change.
For purposes of impairment testing, PP&E is aggregated into cash-generating units ("CGUs"), based on separately identifiable and largely independent cash inflows. The determination of the Company’s CGUs is subject to judgment. Factors considered in the classification of CGUs include the integration between assets, shared infrastructures, the existence of common sales points, geography, geologic structure and the manner in which management monitors and makes decisions regarding operations.
The determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability is subject to judgment as it is based on the presence of reserves and results in the transfer of assets from exploration and evaluation ("E&E") to PP&E.
The Company conducted an analysis of its CGUs to determine if their composition was still reflective of the Company's core operating areas after major property acquisitions and dispositions in the first half of 2021. The Company conducted its analysis on July 1, 2021, and determined that its Dodsland Viking assets better align with the Southwest Saskatchewan CGU. Previously, these assets were included in the Southern Alberta CGU, now referred to as the Alberta CGU. At the time of realignment, the Company estimated recoverable amounts of its new CGUs and compared them to the recoverable amounts of its previous CGUs and the respective carrying amounts and noted that no incremental impairment or impairment reversal would arise as a result of the realignment.
Decommissioning liability
Upon retirement of its oil and gas assets, the Company anticipates incurring substantial costs associated with decommissioning. Estimates of these costs are subject to uncertainty associated with the method, timing and extent of future decommissioning activities. The liability, the related asset and the expense are based on estimates with respect to the cost and timing of decommissioning.
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The determination of fair value often requires management to make assumptions and estimates about future events. The assumptions and estimates with respect to determining the fair value of PP&E and E&E assets acquired generally require the most judgment and include estimates of reserves acquired, forecast benchmark commodity prices and discount rates. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities could impact the amounts assigned to assets, liabilities and goodwill. Future net earnings can be affected as a result of changes in future DD&A, asset impairment or goodwill impairment.
Fair value measurement
The estimated fair value of derivative instruments resulting in derivative assets and liabilities, by its very nature, is subject to measurement uncertainty. Estimates included in the determination of the fair value of derivative instruments include forward benchmark prices, discount rates, share price and forward foreign exchange rates.
Joint control
Judgment is required to determine when the Company has joint control over an arrangement, which requires an assessment of the capital and operating activities of the projects it undertakes with partners and when the decisions in relation to those activities require unanimous consent.
Share-based compensation
Compensation costs recorded pursuant to share-based compensation plans are subject to estimated fair values, forfeiture rates and the future attainment of performance criteria.
CRESCENT POINT ENERGY CORP.
18


Income taxes
Tax regulations and legislation and the interpretations thereof are subject to change. In addition, deferred income tax assets and liabilities recognize the extent that temporary differences will be receivable and payable in future periods. The calculation of the asset and liability involves a significant amount of estimation including an evaluation of when the temporary differences will reverse, an analysis of the amount of future taxable earnings, expected cash flows from estimated proved plus probable reserves and the application of tax laws. Changes in tax regulations and legislation and the other assumptions listed are subject to measurement uncertainty.
Risk Factors
Financial Risk
Financial risk is the risk of loss or lost opportunity resulting from financial management and market conditions that could have an impact on Crescent Point’s business. Financial risks the Company is exposed to include: marketing production at an acceptable price given market conditions and market access; finding and producing reserves at a reasonable cost; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; volatility in crude oil price differentials; fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility; debt service which may limit timing or amount of dividends as well as market price of shares; the continued availability of adequate debt and equity financing and cash flow to fund planned expenditures; sufficient liquidity for future operations; lost revenue or increased expenditures as a result of delayed or denied environmental, safety or regulatory approvals; adverse changes to income tax laws or other laws or government incentive programs and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry; cost of capital risk to carry out the Company’s operations; and uncertainties associated with credit facilities and counterparty credit risk.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss or lost opportunity resulting from operating and capital activities that, by their nature, could have an impact on the Company’s ability to achieve objectives. Operational risks to which Crescent Point is exposed include: uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions and exploration and development programs; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and dispositions; uncertainties associated with partner plans and approvals; operational matters related to non-operated properties; inability to secure adequate product transportation including sufficient crude-by-rail or other alternate transportation; delays in business operations, pipeline restrictions, public infrastructure constraints including blockades, blowouts; unforeseen title defects; increased competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and undeveloped lands; competition for and availability of qualified personnel or management; outbreaks; mobility restrictions, loss and health of key personnel; unexpected geological, technical, drilling, construction and processing problems; availability of insurance; competitive action by other companies; the ability of suppliers to meet commitments and risks; and cyber security risks.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic, and actions taken in response, have resulted in a significant disruption in the global economy, in particular the oil and gas industry. Although demand for and pricing of energy products has stabilized, the pandemic has, in the past, impacted the demand for and pricing of energy products, including crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas produced by the Company.
As there remain many variables and uncertainties regarding COVID-19 and its continuing impact on the economic environment, including the duration and magnitude of any further disruption in the oil and gas industry, it is not possible to precisely estimate the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's financial condition and operations. There may also be effects that are not currently known as the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is still uncertain and the situation continues to evolve. There may be renewed disruption in the demand for commodities which may have a prolonged adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, income, results from operations and cash flows. The Company has taken measures to reduce the impacts of COVID-19, including a work from home program and other safety measures. However, these steps may not be sufficient to insulate the Company from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other risks disclosed in the Company's Annual Information Form, for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in this MD&A, may be heightened and there may also be effects that are not currently known, as the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is still uncertain.
Safety, Environmental and Regulatory Risks
Safety, environmental and regulatory risks are the risks of loss or lost opportunity resulting from changes to laws governing safety, the environment, royalties and taxation. Safety, environmental and regulatory risks Crescent Point is exposed to include: indigenous land claims; uncertainties associated with regulatory approvals; uncertainty of government policy changes; the risk of carrying out operations with minimal environmental impact; changes in or adoption of new laws and regulations or changes in how they are interpreted or enforced; obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities and stakeholder support for activities and growth plans.
The Company’s operations are subject to costs being incurred to pay carbon taxes, to reduce GHG emissions (including methane emissions) and to perform necessary monitoring, measurement, verification and reporting of GHG emissions. Future environmental legislation may require further reductions in emissions from the Company’s operations and result in increased capital and operational expenditures related to the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Refer to the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information on the Company's risk factors.

Crescent Point’s oil and gas sales, cash flow from operating activities, adjusted funds flow from operations and total assets have fluctuated for the years 2019 through 2021, primarily due to changes in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark prices and corporate oil price differentials, numerous property acquisitions and dispositions and the Company's drilling program.
Net income (loss) over the past three years has fluctuated primarily due to unrealized derivative gains and losses on derivative contracts, which fluctuate with changes in market conditions, and PP&E impairment charges and reversals, along with associated fluctuations in deferred tax expense (recovery).
Adjusted net earnings from operations has fluctuated over the past three years primarily due to changes in adjusted funds flow from operations, depletion and share-based compensation expense along with associated fluctuations in the deferred tax expense (recovery).

Over the past eight quarters, the Company's oil and gas sales have fluctuated due to volatility in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price, changes in production and fluctuations in corporate oil price differentials. The Company's production has fluctuated due to changes in its development capital spending levels, acquisitions and dispositions, voluntary shut-ins and natural declines.
Net income (loss) has fluctuated over the past eight quarters primarily due to changes in PP&E impairment charges and reversals, changes in adjusted funds flow from operations, unrealized derivative gains and losses, which fluctuate with changes in forward market prices and foreign exchange rates, gains and losses on capital dispositions, and fluctuations in deferred tax expense (recovery).
Adjusted net earnings (loss) from operations has fluctuated over the past eight quarters primarily due to changes in adjusted funds flow from operations, depletion and share-based compensation expense along with associated fluctuations in deferred tax expense (recovery).
Capital expenditures have also fluctuated throughout this period due to the timing of acquisitions, dispositions and changes in the Company's development capital spending levels.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Review
Crescent Point's production averaged 130,407 boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2021, weighted 84 percent towards crude oil and liquids.
Adjusted funds flow from operations totaled $432.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, a 10 percent increase from $393.9 million in the third quarter. The increase was primarily driven by a higher operating netback in the fourth quarter.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company spent $198.9 million on drilling and development activities, drilling 51 (46.6 net) wells. Crescent Point also spent $30.6 million on facilities and seismic, for total development capital expenditures of $229.5 million.
Net debt was reduced by $133.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, ending at $2.01 billion or 1.4 times trailing adjusted funds flow from operations.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”), as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as defined in Canada by National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed, or submitted by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under securities legislation and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be so disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Crescent Point evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s DC&P. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Crescent Point’s DC&P were effective as at December 31, 2021.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as defined in Canada by National Instrument 52-109, includes those policies and procedures that:
1.pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets of Crescent Point;
2.are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of Crescent Point are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and Directors of Crescent Point; and
3.are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining ICFR for Crescent Point. They have, as at the financial year ended December 31, 2021, designed ICFR, or caused it to be designed under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The control framework Crescent Point’s officers used to design the Company’s ICFR is the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Under the supervision of Management, Crescent Point conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR as at December 31, 2021 based on the COSO Framework. Based on this evaluation, Management concluded that as of December 31, 2021, Crescent Point maintained effective ICFR.
The effectiveness of Crescent Point's ICFR as of December 31, 2021 was audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as reflected in their report accompanying the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no changes in Crescent Point’s ICFR during the year ended December 31, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company ensured that the operating effectiveness of current controls continued with the adoption of a work from home policy for employees as well as physical distancing protocols within field operations. Neither Crescent Point's DC&P nor its ICFR have been changed in a way that materially affects, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Crescent Point's DC&P or ICFR, respectively, as a result of the measures taken in response to COVID-19.
It should be noted that while Crescent Point’s officers believe that the Company’s controls provide a reasonable level of assurance with regard to their effectiveness, they do not expect that the DC&P and ICFR will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Specified Financial Measures
Throughout this MD&A, the Company uses the terms “total operating netback”, “total netback”, "operating netback", "netback", “adjusted funds flow from operations”, "excess cash flow", "adjusted working capital deficiency", “net debt”, “enterprise value”, “net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations”, "net debt as a percentage of enterprise value", “adjusted net earnings from operations”, “adjusted net earnings from operations per share” and “adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted”. These terms do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures presented by other issuers.
Total operating netback and total netback are historical non-GAAP financial measures. Total operating netback is calculated as oil and gas sales, less royalties, operating and transportation expenses. Total netback is calculated as total operating netback plus realized commodity derivative gains and losses. Total operating netback and total netback are common metrics used in the oil and gas industry and are used to measure operating results to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis. The most directly comparable financial measure to total operating netback and total netback is oil and gas sales.
The following table reconciles oil and gas sales to total operating netback and total netback:

Total netback1,693.9 1,057.9 60 
Operating netback and netback are non-GAAP ratios and are calculated as total operating netback and total netback, respectively, divided by total production. Operating netback and netback are common metrics used in the oil and gas industry and are used to measure operating results on a per boe basis.
Adjusted funds flow from operations is a capital management measure and is calculated based on cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital, transaction costs and decommissioning expenditures funded by the Company. Transaction costs are excluded as they vary based on the Company's acquisition and disposition activity and to ensure that this metric is more comparable between periods. Decommissioning expenditures are discretionary and are excluded as they may vary based on the stage of the Company's assets and operating areas. The most directly comparable financial measure to adjusted funds flow from operations is cash flow from operating activities. Adjusted funds flow from operations is a key measure that assesses the ability of the Company to finance dividends, operating activities, capital expenditures and debt repayments. Adjusted funds flow from operations as presented is not intended to represent cash flow from operating activities, net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. See Note 17 – "Capital Management" in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information on the Company's capital management.
Excess cash flow is a historical non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as adjusted funds flow from operations less capital expenditures, payments on lease liability, decommissioning expenditures funded by the Company and other items (excluding net acquisitions and dispositions). The most directly comparable financial measure to excess cash flow disclosed in the Company's financial statements is cash flow from operating activities. Excess cash flow is a key measure that assesses the ability of the Company to finance dividends, potential share repurchases, debt repayments and returns-based growth. The Company has previously presented excess cash flow as net of dividends. To provide a more comparable definition of excess cash flow to other issuers, excess cash flow is now presented prior to dividends.

Enterprise value is a supplementary financial measure and is calculated as market capitalization plus net debt. Enterprise value is used to assess the valuation of the Company. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section in this MD&A for further information.
Net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations is a capital management measure and is calculated as the period end net debt divided by the sum of adjusted funds flow from operations for the trailing four quarters. Net debt as a percentage of enterprise value is a supplementary financial measure and is calculated as net debt divided by enterprise value. The measures of net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations and net debt as a percentage of enterprise value are used to measure the Company's overall debt position and to measure the strength of the Company's balance sheet. Crescent Point monitors these measures and uses them as a key measures in making decisions regarding financing, capital spending and dividend levels.
Adjusted net earnings from operations is a historical non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated based on net income before amortization of E&E undeveloped land, impairment or impairment reversals, unrealized derivative gains or losses, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss on translation of hedged US dollar long-term debt, unrealized gains or losses on long-term investments, gains or losses on the sale of long-term investments, gains or losses on capital acquisitions and dispositions and deferred tax related to these adjustments. Adjusted net earnings from operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 also excludes deferred tax related to a change in estimated usable tax pools resulting from a recent potential precedent setting Federal Court case. The most directly comparable financial measure to adjusted net earnings from operations disclosed in the Company's financial statements is net income (loss).

These statements are effective only as of the date of this report. Crescent Point undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required to do so pursuant to applicable law.
Any “financial outlook” or “future oriented financial information” in this management’s discussion and analysis, as defined by applicable securities legislation, has been approved by management of Crescent Point.

Crude oil and condensate, and natural gas information is provided in accordance with the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Topic 932 - "Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas" and where applicable, financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017 the Company filed its reserves information under National Instrument 51-101 - "Standards of Disclosure of Oil and Gas Activities" (NI 51-101), which prescribes the standards for the preparation and disclosure of reserves and related information for companies listed in Canada.
There are significant differences to the type of volumes disclosed and the basis from which the volumes are economically determined under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements and NI 51-101. The SEC requires disclosure of net reserves, after royalties, using 12-month average prices and current costs; whereas NI 51-101 requires Company gross reserves, before royalties, using forecast pricing and costs. Therefore the difference between the reported numbers under the two disclosure standards may be material.
Barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf : 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil and condensate as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of oil, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Oil and gas metrics such as operating netback and netback do not have standardized meaning and as such may not be reliable, and should not be used to make comparisons.
NI 51-101 includes condensate within the natural gas liquids (NGLs) product type. The Company has disclosed condensate as combined with crude oil and separately from other natural gas liquids in this MD&A since the price of condensate as compared to other natural gas liquids is currently significantly higher and the Company believes that this crude oil and condensate presentation provides a more accurate description of its operations and results therefrom.
The Company’s annual aggregate production for 2021 and 2020, the aggregate average production for each quarter of 2021 and 2020, and the references to “natural gas”, “crude oil" and "condensate”, reported in this MD&A consist of the following product types, as defined in NI 51-101 and using a conversion ratio of 6 mcf : 1 bbl where applicable:
