A transformative year |
|
2014 was a remarkable year for Encana. The successful execution of the
strategy, which is built around a disciplined focus on profitable growth, saw the company complete virtually all of its key deliverables two years ahead of schedule. The speed of this achievement demonstrates the effectiveness of the strategy and
the highly driven culture built by Doug Suttles and his leadership team. Entering the
year, Encana embarked on the right course of action at the right time by restructuring and resizing its organization, resulting in an approximately 25 percent workforce reduction. The company modified core processes such as capital allocation which
led to a focused investment on seven growth assets, down from almost 30 funded areas the prior year. Strong efficiency improvements across the company highlighted Encanas relentless drive for operational excellence.
The year was also marked by the transformation of Encanas portfolio with the
divestiture of non-core assets, including the initial public offering and secondary offering of PrairieSky Royalty Ltd., coupled with major acquisitions in the top two oil plays in the U.S.; the Eagle Ford and the Permian Basin. These transactions
have delivered a balanced liquids and natural gas portfolio and have made Encana more resilient to dynamic market conditions.
As Chairman of the Board, my focus is to continue our commitment to strong governance and corporate responsibility, while leading the Board of Directors in
stewarding Encana towards building value for its shareholders. The Board of Directors continues to believe Encanas strategy is the best way to grow profitability and maximize |
|
shareholder value over the long term. With commodity prices expected to
be volatile through 2015, the company will continue to make prudent decisions to ensure it emerges even stronger from this downturn.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, Id like to thank Encanas Executive Leadership Team and staff. Their achievements through 2014 have put the
company in a position of relative strength and on a path to sustainable success.

PORTFOLIO TRANSFORMATION
In 2014, we completed around $18 billion of acquisition and divestiture activity and built a balanced commodity portfolio, rich with investment
opportunities in premium positions in Canada and the United States. We focused around 86 percent of our capital investment toward seven growth assets, down from nearly 30 assets the previous year.
Creating a focused, balanced and higher margin portfolio
We dramatically reshaped our portfolio and replaced lower margin natural gas production with higher margin liquids. We divested non-core assets and acquired
two strategic assets in two of North Americas best oil plays.
61 percent increase in liquids production
We grew total
annual production from 54,000 bbls/d in 2013 to 87,000 bbls/d in 2014. Our five original growth assets; Montney, Duvernay, DJ Basin, San Juan and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale performed exceptionally. The acquisition of two new growth assets; in the Eagle
Ford and the Permian Basin, made an immediate contribution to our liquids production.
Shifting to higher value production
We are focused on
high value production rather than production volume growth. In 2014, we delivered a 14 percent increase in year-over-year cash flow. We delivered this cash flow growth on approximately seven percent lower total production in a similar commodity
price environment compared to 2013.

|
|
Efficient, competitive and resilient |
|
The transformation we undertook through 2014 occurred at a pace that
surpassed our own high expectations. The result of our hard work is a competitive, resilient, low-cost and lean Encana. We have a focused portfolio rich with investment opportunities and premium positions in two of the best resource plays in Canada;
the Montney and the Duvernay, and two of the best in the United States; the Eagle Ford and the Permian Basin.
The steps we took during 2014 were designed to deliver sustainable value to our shareholders by growing cash flow per share. We focused on higher value
production rather than volume growth and directed our capital investment toward assets with scale and low supply costs in short, the assets that provide the highest returns. This capital discipline was complemented by around $18 billion of
acquisition and divestiture activity, which enabled us to dramatically reshape our portfolio and replace lower margin natural gas production with higher margin liquids.
Our cultural change has been just as dramatic and important to the transformation of the company. By embracing our values of One, Agile and Driven, our staff
has harnessed the technical strength, knowledge and stability of a large organization, while adopting the mindset of a small, entrepreneurial company. They continue to relentlessly identify and implement ways to enhance efficiencies and streamline
processes. In addition, in 2014 they delivered the best ever safety record in company history; an impressive accomplishment during a period of significant change.
The recent market volatility is a sharp reminder that we are in the commodity business. While we did not predict the recent drop in commodity prices, we knew
that it was a possibility sometime during the execution of our long-term strategy. |
|
With this in mind, our strategy was designed to create a competitive and
resilient company able to deliver shareholder value through commodity price cycles.
While oil traded at approximately $100 per barrel, our staff delivered material efficiency improvements throughout the company. In a lower price environment,
we see significant opportunity to deliver further enduring efficiencies. We will
continue to take a prudent view of commodity prices and will protect our balance sheet throughout 2015 by exercising strict financial discipline. Equally important, we will maintain a capital allocation philosophy that is consistent with our
strategy by prioritizing investment to our four most strategic assets: the Eagle Ford, Permian Basin, Montney and Duvernay.
Our teams accomplishments in 2014 should not be overshadowed by todays low commodity environment. In fact, it makes their achievements even more
important. We are in a position of relative strength with a culture and strategy that keep us on the path to becoming a leading North American resource play company.
On behalf of the Executive Leadership Team, I want to thank our Board of Directors for their ongoing support and say a special thank you to all Encana staff
for a remarkable 2014.

|
|
PILLARS |
|
|
Encana is structured and organized around four core
competencies that we believe every exploration and production company needs to excel at in order to deliver sustainable shareholder value. |
|
|
TOP TIER ASSETS |
|
CAPITAL ALLOCATION |
|
We will always be on the lookout for the best rocks and focus our
capital on a limited number of core growth assets characterized by high returns, scale and running room. Our strategy is centered on diversifying our commodity mix and growing value in top tier assets.
|
|
A highly disciplined, dynamic and centrally controlled capital
allocation program will help ensure that we are directing our investment dollars in a manner that is consistent with our strategy. By concentrating capital on our core growth assets, we believe we can generate the most value for our
shareholders. |
|
MARKET FUNDAMENTALS |
|
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE |
|
We will actively monitor and manage the effects of market volatility to
enable us to respond to the ever-changing trade winds inherent in the oil and gas business. Leveraging our industry-leading commodity market expertise to inform our capital allocation decisions is critical to both managing risk and maximizing
margins. |
|
Operational excellence is one of Encanas strengths and we will
continuously work to maintain this competitive advantage. We strive to increase profitability by running our operations in the most efficient and cost effective manner possible. Our best-in-class operators will focus on efficiency, safety and
integrated and collaborative thinking in order to maximize value across our asset base. |
|
BALANCE SHEET STRENGTH |
|
Underpinning these four core competencies is balance sheet
strength. Maintaining financial flexibility and investment grade credit ratings are an important part of how we think about managing our business. Balance sheet strength allows us to capitalize on opportunities as they arise and demonstrates the
sustainability of our business model through commodity cycles. |
|
6
FOCUSED INVESTMENT
Our portfolio is rich with high quality oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas investment opportunities. Around 80 percent of our 2015 capital program is
expected to be focused on our four most strategic growth assets: the Eagle Ford, Permian Basin, Montney and Duvernay.

ENCANAS STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
Encana is a leading North American energy producer that is focused on developing its strong portfolio of resource plays producing natural gas, oil and NGLs.
Encana is committed to growing long-term shareholder value through a disciplined focus on generating profitable growth. The Company is pursuing the key business objectives of balancing its commodity portfolio, focusing capital investments in
strategic high return scalable projects, maintaining portfolio flexibility to respond to changing market conditions, maximizing profitability through operating efficiencies, reducing costs and preserving balance sheet strength.
Encana continually strives to improve operating efficiencies, foster technological innovation and lower its cost structures, while reducing its environmental
footprint through play optimization. The Companys resource play hub model, which utilizes highly integrated production facilities, is used to develop resources by drilling multiple wells from central pad sites. Ongoing cost reductions are
achieved through repeatable operations, optimizing equipment and processes and by applying continuous improvement techniques.
Encana hedges a portion of
its expected natural gas and oil production volumes. The Companys hedging program reduces volatility and helps sustain Cash Flow and operating netbacks during periods of lower prices. Further information on the Companys commodity price
positions as at December 31, 2014 can be found in the Results Overview section of this MD&A and in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Additional information on expected results can be found in Encanas 2015 Corporate Guidance on the Companys website www.encana.com.
ENCANAS BUSINESS
Encanas reportable segments are determined based on the Companys operations and geographic locations as follows:
|
|
Canadian Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and other related activities within Canada. |
|
|
USA Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and other related activities within the U.S. |
|
|
Market Optimization is primarily responsible for the sale of the Companys proprietary production. These results are reported in the Canadian and USA Operations. Market optimization activities include third
party purchases and sales of product to provide operational flexibility 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 Companys upstream production to third party customers. Transactions between segments are based on market values and are eliminated on consolidation. Financial information is presented on an after
eliminations basis within this MD&A. |
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.

As a result of the execution of the strategy announced in November 2013, the Companys results for the year ended December 31, 2014 reflected the
following:
|
|
Acquired properties in Eagle Ford and the Permian Basin, which provide significant oil reserves to the Company. |
|
|
Divested natural gas-weighted properties in Jonah, East Texas and Bighorn. |
|
|
Completed the initial public offering and secondary offering of common shares of PrairieSky, providing a source of funding for subsequent acquisition transactions. |
|
|
Focused capital spending on seven growth assets, totaling approximately $2.2 billion, or 86 percent of total capital investment. |
|
|
Reported oil and NGL production volumes of 86.8 Mbbls/d, an increase of 61 percent from 2013. Average oil and NGL production volumes were 18 percent of total production in 2014 compared to 10 percent in 2013.
|
|
|
Achieved total operating and administrative cost savings of approximately $150 million attributable to workforce reductions and operating efficiencies, of which approximately $45 million is reflected in operating
expense, $35 million in administrative expense and $70 million in capital costs.

14 Encana Corporation | Annual Report 2014 |
Encanas quarterly net earnings can be significantly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices, realized and unrealized hedging gains and losses,
production volumes, foreign exchange rates, non-cash ceiling test impairments and gains or losses on divestitures, which are provided in the Financial Results table and Prices and Foreign Exchange Rates table within this MD&A. Quarterly net
earnings are also impacted by Encanas interim income tax expense calculated using the estimated annual effective income tax rate as discussed in the Critical Accounting Estimates section of this MD&A. Quarterly net earnings are also
impacted by acquisition and divestiture transactions, which are discussed in the Net Capital Investment section of this MD&A.
Under full cost
accounting, the carrying amount of Encanas natural gas and oil properties within each country cost centre is subject to a ceiling test performed quarterly. Ceiling test impairments are recognized when the capitalized costs exceed the sum of
the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves as calculated under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements using the 12-month average trailing prices and discounted at 10 percent. The Companys
after-tax non-cash ceiling test impairment in 2012 primarily resulted from the decline in the 12-month average trailing natural gas prices.
In the last
half of 2014, commodity prices have generally declined. Further declines in the 12-month average trailing commodity prices could reduce proved reserves values and result in the recognition of future ceiling test impairments. Future ceiling test
impairments can also result from changes to reserves estimates, future development costs, capitalized costs and unproved property costs. Proceeds received from oil and gas divestitures are generally deducted from the Companys capitalized costs
and can reduce the risk of ceiling test impairments.
Q4 2014 versus Q4 2013
Cash Flow of $377 million decreased $300 million in the three months ended December 31, 2014 primarily due to the following significant items:

Average realized natural gas prices, excluding financial hedges, were $3.94 per Mcf compared to $3.69 per Mcf in 2013 reflecting higher benchmark prices for AECO and NYMEX. Higher realized natural gas prices increased
revenues $44 million. Average realized liquids prices, excluding financial hedges, were $57.35 per bbl compared to $65.58 per bbl in 2013 reflecting lower benchmark prices. Lower realized liquids prices decreased revenues $105 million.
|
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 1,861 MMcf/d decreased 883 MMcf/d from 2,744 MMcf/d in 2013 primarily due to divestitures resulting from the Companys strategic transition to a more balanced commodity
portfolio and natural declines. Lower natural gas volumes decreased revenues $303 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 106.4 Mbbls/d increased 40.4 Mbbls/d from 66.0 Mbbls/d in 2013 primarily due to acquisitions and successful drilling
programs in oil and liquids rich natural gas plays, partially offset by divestitures and the sale of the Companys investment in PrairieSky. Higher oil and NGL volumes increased revenues $267 million. |
|
|
Realized financial hedging gains before tax were $124 million compared to $174 million in 2013. |
|
|
Transportation and processing expense decreased $49 million primarily due to divestitures and the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate, partially offset by higher liquids volumes processed. |
|
|
Administrative expense decreased $109 million primarily due to lower restructuring charges of $68 million. The decrease also reflects lower non-cash long-term compensation costs resulting from the decrease in the Encana
share price. |
|
|
Interest expense increased $113 million primarily due to a one-time outlay associated with the early redemption of senior notes assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of Athlon. |
|
|
Other expense increased $56 million primarily due to transaction costs of $31 million associated with the acquisition of Athlon. The increase also reflects non-cash reclamation charges relating to non-producing assets.
|
|
|
Current tax expense was $2 million compared to a recovery of $25 million in 2013. Cash Flow excludes cash tax on the sale of assets as discussed in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A. |
Operating Earnings of $35 million decreased $191 million primarily due to the items discussed in the Cash Flow section. Operating Earnings for the fourth
quarter of 2014 were also impacted by higher depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A), a foreign exchange gain on the revaluation of other monetary assets, lower long-term compensation costs and deferred tax. Operating
Earnings excludes restructuring charges as described in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A.
Net Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders
of $198 million increased $449 million primarily due to unrealized hedging gains and the items discussed in the Cash Flow and Operating Earnings sections. Net Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2014 were also
impacted by deferred tax.
2014 versus 2013
Cash
Flow of $2,934 million increased $353 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 primarily due to the following significant items:
|
|
Average realized natural gas prices, excluding financial hedges, were $4.78 per Mcf compared to $3.57 per Mcf in 2013 reflecting higher benchmark prices, including the impact of higher realized prices from Deep Panuke
production. Higher realized natural gas prices increased revenues $1,067 million. Average realized liquids prices, excluding financial hedges, were $67.24 per bbl compared to $67.30 per bbl in 2013 reflecting lower WTI prices. Lower realized liquids
prices decreased revenues $23 million. |
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 2,350 MMcf/d decreased 427 MMcf/d from 2,777 MMcf/d in 2013 primarily due to divestitures resulting from the Companys strategic transition to a more balanced commodity
portfolio and natural declines, partially offset by production from Deep Panuke. Lower natural gas volumes decreased revenues $602 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 86.8 Mbbls/d increased 32.9 Mbbls/d from 53.9 Mbbls/d in 2013
primarily due to acquisitions and successful drilling programs in oil and liquids rich natural gas plays, partially offset by divestitures and the sale of the Companys investment in PrairieSky. Higher oil and NGL volumes increased revenues
$829 million. |

|
|
Realized financial hedging losses before tax were $91 million compared to gains of $544 million in 2013. |
|
|
Operating expense decreased $124 million primarily due to lower salaries and benefits related to workforce reductions resulting from the 2013 restructuring, divestitures and the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate,
partially offset by acquisitions. The decrease also reflects lower non-cash long-term compensation costs resulting from the decrease in the Encana share price. |
|
|
Administrative expense decreased $112 million primarily due to lower restructuring charges of $52 million and the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate. The decrease also reflects lower non-cash long-term
compensation costs resulting from the decrease in the Encana share price. |
|
|
Interest expense increased $91 million primarily due to a one-time outlay associated with the early redemption of senior notes assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of Athlon. |
|
|
Other expense increased $70 million primarily due to transaction costs of $40 million associated with the acquisitions of Athlon and Eagle Ford. The increase also reflects non-cash reclamation charges relating to
non-producing assets. |
|
|
Current tax expense was $243 million compared to a recovery of $191 million in 2013 as discussed in the Other Operating Results section of this MD&A. Cash Flow excludes cash tax on the sale of assets as discussed in
the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A. |
Operating Earnings of $1,002 million increased $200 million primarily due to the items
discussed in the Cash Flow section. Operating Earnings for 2014 were also impacted by a higher foreign exchange gain on the revaluation of other monetary assets and higher DD&A. Operating Earnings excludes restructuring charges as described in
the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A.
Net Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders of $3,392 million increased $3,156 million primarily due
to gains on divestitures as well as the items discussed in the Cash Flow and Operating Earnings sections. Net Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders for 2014 were also impacted by unrealized hedging gains, a higher after-tax non-operating
foreign exchange loss and deferred tax.
2013 versus 2012
Cash Flow of $2,581 million decreased $956 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily due to the following significant items:
|
|
Average realized natural gas prices, excluding financial hedges, were $3.57 per Mcf compared to $2.83 per Mcf in 2012 reflecting higher benchmark prices which increased revenues $790 million. Average realized liquids
prices, excluding hedges, were $67.30 per bbl compared to $75.12 per bbl in 2012 which decreased revenues $168 million. |
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 2,777 MMcf/d decreased 204 MMcf/d from 2,981 MMcf/d in 2012 primarily due to the Companys capital investment focus in oil and liquids rich natural gas plays, a reduced
capital investment program and natural declines, partially offset by shut-in production volumes in 2012, successful drilling programs and production from the Deep Panuke offshore natural gas facility in 2013. Lower natural gas volumes decreased
revenues $208 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 53.9 Mbbls/d increased 22.9 Mbbls/d from 31.0 Mbbls/d in 2012 primarily due to successful drilling programs in oil and liquids rich natural gas plays, the extraction of additional
liquids volumes processed through third party facilities and additional NGL volumes resulting from new and renegotiated gathering and processing agreements. Higher oil and NGL volumes increased revenues $640 million. |
|
|
Realized financial hedging gains before tax were $544 million compared to $2,161 million in 2012. |
|
|
Transportation and processing expense increased $245 million primarily due to costs related to higher production volumes processed through third party facilities, additional NGL volumes resulting from new and
renegotiated gathering and processing agreements, costs related to the Deep Panuke offshore natural gas facility and higher firm processing costs. |
|
|
Operating expense increased $65 million primarily due to an increased focus on emerging oil and liquids rich natural gas plays. |
|
|
Administrative expense increased primarily due to restructuring charges as discussed in the Other Operating Results section of this MD&A. |
Operating Earnings of $802 million decreased $195 million primarily due to the items discussed in the Cash Flow section, partially offset by lower DD&A
and lower deferred tax. Operating Earnings excludes restructuring charges as described in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A.
Net Earnings
were $236 million compared to a Net Loss of $2,794 million in 2012 primarily due to the inclusion of after-tax non-cash ceiling test impairments of $3,179 million in the 2012 comparative, partially offset by the items discussed in the Cash Flow and
Operating Earnings sections. Net Earnings for 2013 were also impacted by lower unrealized hedging losses of $770 million after tax, partially offset by an after-tax non-operating foreign exchange loss and higher administrative expense as a result of
restructuring charges.

The Algonquin City Gate benchmark reflects the daily average price for sales of production from Atlantic Canada. Encanas operations at Deep Panuke in Atlantic Canada commenced in Q4 2013. |
Encanas financial results are influenced by fluctuations in commodity prices, price differentials and the U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate. In 2014,
Encanas average realized natural gas price, excluding hedging, reflected higher benchmark prices compared to 2013. Hedging activities reduced Encanas average realized natural gas price $0.19 per Mcf in 2014. Realized natural gas prices
for production from Deep Panuke were $8.34 per Mcf in 2014, which increased Encanas average realized natural gas price $0.31 per Mcf in 2014. The Deep Panuke offshore natural gas facility commenced commercial operations in December 2013.
In 2014, Encanas average realized oil price, excluding hedging, reflected generally lower benchmark prices compared to 2013. Hedging activities
contributed $4.32 per bbl to Encanas average realized oil price in 2014.
In 2013, Encanas average realized natural gas price, excluding
hedging, reflected higher benchmark prices compared to 2012. Hedging activities contributed $0.52 per Mcf to the average realized natural gas price in 2013. Encanas average realized oil price, excluding hedging for 2013, reflected higher
benchmark prices. Hedging activities contributed $0.94 per bbl to the average realized oil price in 2013. The Companys 2013 NGLs price reflected a lower proportion of higher value condensate included in the total NGL product mix.
As a means of managing commodity price volatility and its impact on cash flows, Encana enters into various financial hedge agreements. Unsettled derivative
financial contracts are recorded at the date of the financial statements based on the fair value of the contracts. Changes in fair value result from volatility in forward curves of commodity prices and changes in the balance of unsettled contracts
between periods. The changes in fair value are recognized in revenue as unrealized hedging gains and losses. Realized hedging gains and losses are recognized in revenue when derivative financial contracts are settled.
At December 31, 2014, Encana has hedged approximately 1,062 MMcf/d of expected 2015 natural gas production using NYMEX fixed price contracts at an
average price of $4.29 per Mcf. In addition, Encana has hedged approximately 12.3 Mbbls/d of expected 2015 oil production using WTI fixed price contracts at an average price of $92.88 per bbl and approximately 1.2 Mbbls/d of expected 2016 oil
production at an average price of $92.35 per bbl. At February 24, 2015, Encana has hedged approximately 1,044 MMcf/d of expected February to December 2015 natural gas production using NYMEX fixed price contracts at an average price of $4.29 per
Mcf. In addition, Encana has hedged approximately 55.3 Mbbls/d of expected February to December 2015 oil production using WTI fixed price contracts at an average price of $62.18 per bbl and approximately 1.2 Mbbls/d of expected 2016 oil production
at an average price of $92.35 per bbl.
The Companys hedging program helps sustain Cash Flow and operating netbacks during periods of lower prices.

PRICE SENSITIVITIES
Natural gas
and liquids prices fluctuate in response to changing market forces, creating varying impacts on Encanas financial results. The Companys potential exposure to commodity price fluctuations is summarized in the table below, which shows the
estimated effects that certain price changes would have had on the Companys Cash Flow and Operating Earnings for 2014. The price sensitivities below are based on business conditions, transactions and production volumes during 2014.
Accordingly, these sensitivities may not be indicative of financial results for other periods, under other economic circumstances or with additional fluctuations in commodity prices.

RESERVES QUANTITIES
Since its formation in 2002, Encana has retained independent qualified reserves evaluators (IQREs) to evaluate and prepare reports on 100 percent
of the Companys natural gas, oil and NGL reserves annually. The Company has a Reserves Committee composed of independent Board of Directors (Board) members that reviews the qualifications and appointment of the IQREs. The Reserves
Committee also reviews the procedures for providing information to the IQREs. All booked reserves are based upon annual evaluations by the IQREs.
As
required by Canadian regulatory standards, Encanas disclosure of reserves data is in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (NI 51-101). Encanas 2014 Canadian
protocol disclosure includes proved reserves quantities before and after royalties employing forecast prices and costs and is available in Encanas Annual Information Form (AIF). Canadian standards require reconciliations in this
section to include barrels of oil equivalent. The natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent on the basis of six Mcf to one bbl based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip. This
energy equivalency conversion method does not represent value equivalency, as the current price of oil and NGLs compared to natural gas is significantly higher.
Supplementary oil and gas information, including proved reserves on an after royalties basis, is provided in accordance with U.S. disclosure requirements in
Note 26 to the December 31, 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements. As Encana follows U.S. GAAP full cost accounting for oil and gas activities, the U.S. protocol reserves estimates are key inputs to the Companys depletion and ceiling
test impairment calculations.
The Canadian standards require the use of forecast prices in the estimation of reserves and the disclosure of before and
after royalties volumes. The U.S. standards require the use of 12-month average trailing prices in the estimation of reserves and the disclosure of after royalties volumes. The following sections provide Encanas Canadian protocol and U.S.
protocol reserves quantities.

Encanas 2014 proved natural gas reserves before royalties of
approximately 6.5 Tcf decreased 3.5 Tcf from 2013 primarily due to dispositions of approximately 2.8 Tcf resulting from the Companys strategic transition to a more balanced commodity portfolio. Extensions and improved recovery and discoveries
of approximately 1.0 Tcf were mostly offset by negative technical revisions of approximately 0.8 Tcf primarily due to revised development plans. Extensions and improved recovery and discoveries replaced 103 percent of production before royalties
during the year.
Encanas 2014 proved oil and NGL reserves before royalties of approximately 454.7 MMbbls increased 177.4 MMbbls from 2013 primarily
due to acquisitions of approximately 257.8 MMbbls, partially offset by dispositions of approximately 99.0 MMbbls resulting from the Companys strategic transition to a more balanced commodity portfolio. Extensions and improved recovery and
discoveries of approximately 62.0 MMbbls replaced 174 percent of production before royalties during the year.

Encanas 2014 proved natural gas reserves after royalties of approximately
5.5 Tcf decreased 3.1 Tcf from 2013 primarily due to dispositions of approximately 2.4 Tcf resulting from the Companys strategic transition to a more balanced commodity portfolio. Negative revisions of approximately 0.9 Tcf were mainly due to
revised development plans and were offset by extensions and discoveries of approximately 0.8 Tcf. Extensions and discoveries replaced 99 percent of production after royalties during the year.
Encanas 2014 proved oil and NGL reserves after royalties of approximately 356.5 MMbbls increased 121.6 MMbbls from 2013 primarily due to acquisitions of
approximately 198.1 MMbbls, partially offset by dispositions of approximately 89.9 MMbbls resulting from the Companys strategic transition to a more balanced commodity portfolio. Extensions and discoveries of approximately 49.7 MMbbls replaced
157 percent of production after royalties during the year.

Encanas 2014 proved natural gas reserves after royalties of
approximately 5.5 Tcf decreased 2.4 Tcf from 2013 primarily due to the sale of reserves in place of approximately 2.4 Tcf resulting from the Companys strategic transition to a more balanced commodity portfolio. Extensions and discoveries of
approximately 0.9 Tcf replaced 102 percent of production after royalties during the year.
Encanas 2014 proved oil and NGL reserves after royalties
of approximately 361.7 MMbbls increased 140.9 MMbbls from 2013 primarily due to the purchase of reserves in place of approximately 201.1 MMbbls, partially offset by the sale of reserves in place of approximately 86.2 MMbbls resulting from the
Companys strategic transition to a more balanced commodity portfolio. Extensions and discoveries of approximately 57.2 MMbbls replaced 180 percent of production after royalties during the year.
12-MONTH AVERAGE TRAILING PRICES
The reference prices below
were utilized in the determination of reserves. The 12-month average trailing price is calculated as the average of the prices on the first day of each month within the trailing 12-month period.

The Production Volumes by Play presentation has been updated to align with the Companys business strategy. The table
above reflects the Eagle Ford and Permian acquisitions as well as Montney, Duvernay, DJ Basin and San Juan, which have been segregated for presentation in 2014 as Encana focuses capital on these specific growth assets. Growth assets also includes
the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (TMS) reported within Other and emerging results in the USA Operations. Other Upstream Operations includes production volumes from plays that are not part of the Companys current strategic focus as well
as prospective plays that are under appraisal.
The production volumes associated with the lands transferred to PrairieSky were included in Encanas
Clearwater play until September 25, 2014, after which Encana no longer held an interest in PrairieSky.

22 Encana Corporation | Annual Report 2014 |
2014 versus 2013
In 2014, average natural gas production
volumes of 2,350 MMcf/d decreased 427 MMcf/d from 2013 primarily due to divestitures resulting from the Companys strategic transition to a more balanced commodity portfolio and natural declines, partially offset by production from Deep Panuke.
The Canadian Operations volumes were lower in 2014 primarily due to the sale of the Bighorn assets, the sale of the Jean Marie natural gas assets and natural declines, partially offset by higher production volumes from Deep Panuke and a successful
drilling program in Montney. The USA Operations volumes were lower in 2014 primarily due to the sale of the Jonah and East Texas properties and natural declines mainly in Piceance and Haynesville.
In 2014, average oil and NGL production volumes of 86.8 Mbbls/d increased 32.9 Mbbls/d from 2013 primarily due to acquisitions and successful drilling
programs in oil and liquids rich natural gas plays, partially offset by divestitures. The Canadian Operations volumes were higher in 2014 primarily due to successful drilling programs, mainly in Montney, partially offset by the sale of the Bighorn
assets. The Canadian Operations volumes were also impacted by the sale of the Companys investment in PrairieSky, partially offset by higher royalty volumes in Clearwater associated with the lands transferred to PrairieSky. The USA Operations
volumes were higher in 2014 primarily due to the acquisition of Eagle Ford and the Permian assets and successful drilling programs in the DJ Basin and San Juan, partially offset by the sale of the Jonah properties.
2013 versus 2012
In 2013, average natural gas production
volumes of 2,777 MMcf/d decreased 204 MMcf/d from 2012 primarily due to the Companys capital investment focus in oil and liquids rich natural gas plays, a reduced capital investment program and natural declines, partially offset by shut-in
production volumes in 2012. The Canadian Operations volumes were higher primarily due to successful drilling programs, production volumes from Deep Panuke and shut-in production volumes in 2012, partially offset by natural declines and the sale of
the Jean Marie natural gas assets. The USA Operations volumes were lower primarily due to natural declines, partially offset by shut-in production volumes in 2012.
In 2013, average oil and NGL production volumes of 53.9 Mbbls/d increased 22.9 Mbbls/d from 2012. The Canadian Operations volumes were higher primarily due to
the extraction of additional liquids volumes in Bighorn and Montney and successful drilling programs in Montney and Clearwater. The USA Operations volumes were higher primarily due to successful drilling programs in oil and liquids rich natural gas
plays and new and renegotiated gathering and processing agreements which resulted in additional NGL volumes primarily in Piceance and Jonah.

2013 and 2012 capital reflect the reclassification of capitalized operating costs from Other and emerging to the plays presented. |
The Capital Investment by Play presentation has been updated to align with the Companys business strategy. The table above reflects the Eagle Ford and
Permian acquisitions as well as Montney, Duvernay, DJ Basin and San Juan, which have been segregated for presentation in 2014 as Encana focuses capital on these specific growth assets. Growth assets also includes the TMS reported within Other and
emerging results in the USA Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2014, capital investment in the TMS was $101 million (2013 $98 million; 2012 $153 million). Other Upstream Operations includes capital investment from plays
that are not part of the Companys current strategic focus as well as prospective plays that are under appraisal.
Capital investment associated with
the lands transferred to PrairieSky was included in Encanas Clearwater play until September 25, 2014, after which Encana no longer held an interest in PrairieSky.
|
24 Encana Corporation | Annual Report 2014 |
2014
Capital investment during 2014 was $2,526 million
compared to $2,712 million in 2013. The Companys disciplined capital spending focused on investment in high return scalable projects and opportunities where development has demonstrated success, as well as executing drilling programs with
joint venture partners. During 2014, capital spending in the Companys growth assets totaled $2,160 million, representing approximately 86 percent of the Companys capital investment.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions in 2014 were $21 million in
the Canadian Operations and $2,995 million in the USA Operations, which primarily included land and property purchases with oil and liquids rich production potential.
The USA Operations included approximately $2.9 billion, after closing adjustments, related to the acquisition of Eagle Ford. The Eagle Ford acquisition
included 45,500 net acres located in the Eagle Ford shale formation in south Texas and provides significant oil reserves to the Company. Further information on the acquisition of Eagle Ford, including unaudited pro forma financial information, can
be found in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Divestitures
Divestitures in 2014 were $1,847 million in the Canadian Operations and $2,264 million in the USA Operations, which primarily included the sale of land and
properties to balance the commodity mix in support of the Companys business strategy.
The Canadian Operations included approximately $1.7 billion,
after closing adjustments, for the sale of the Companys Bighorn assets in west central Alberta which comprised approximately 360,000 net acres of land along with Encanas working interests in pipelines, facilities and service
arrangements.
The USA Operations included approximately $1.6 billion, after closing adjustments, for the sale of the Jonah properties and approximately
$495 million for the sale of certain properties in East Texas. The Jonah properties comprised approximately 19,000 net developed acres and 1,200 net wells as well as approximately 102,000 net undeveloped acres in Wyoming. The East Texas properties
represented approximately 91,000 net acres located primarily in the Leon and Robertson counties of East Texas.
Amounts received from the Companys
divestiture transactions have been deducted from the respective Canadian and U.S. full cost pools, except for divestitures that resulted in a significant alteration between capitalized costs and proved reserves in the respective country cost centre.
For divestitures that result in a gain or loss and constitute a business, goodwill is allocated to the divestiture. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2014, Encana recognized a gain of approximately $1,014 million, before tax, on the
sale of the Companys Bighorn assets in the Canadian cost centre and allocated goodwill of $257 million. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2014, Encana recognized a gain of approximately $209 million, before tax, on the sale of
the Jonah properties in the U.S. cost centre and allocated goodwill of $68 million.
Other 2014 Capital Transactions
The following transactions involve the acquisition or disposition of common shares and, therefore, are excluded from the Net Capital Investment table.
Acquisition of Athlon
On November 13, 2014, Encana
completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Athlon for $5.93 billion, or $58.50 per share. As part of the acquisition, Encana assumed Athlons $1.15 billion senior notes and repaid and terminated
Athlons credit facility with indebtedness outstanding of $335 million. The acquisition of Athlon added approximately 137,000 net acres in the Permian Basin in Texas to Encanas portfolio. The fair value of the assets acquired was $9,405
million including proved and unproved properties totaling $7,462 million and goodwill of $1,724 million. Goodwill arose from the requirement to recognize deferred taxes on the difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed and the respective carry-over tax basis. Further information on the acquisition of Athlon, including unaudited pro forma financial information, can be found in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Divestiture of Investment in PrairieSky
On
September 26, 2014, Encana completed the secondary offering of 70.2 million common shares of PrairieSky at a price of C$36.50 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$2.6 billion. Following the completion of the
secondary offering, Encana no longer holds an interest in PrairieSky. As the sale of the investment in PrairieSky resulted in a significant alteration between capitalized costs and proved reserves in the Canadian cost centre, Encana recognized a
gain on divestiture of approximately $2.1 billion, before tax.
During the second quarter of 2014, PrairieSky acquired Encanas royalty business with
assets in Clearwater located predominantly in central and southern Alberta. Subsequently, Encana completed the initial public offering of 59.8 million common shares at a price of C$28.00 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of
approximately C$1.67 billion. Encana retained 70.2 million common shares of PrairieSky, representing a 54 percent ownership interest. For the period in which Encana held an ownership interest, the Company consolidated the financial position and
results of operations of PrairieSky and recognized a noncontrolling interest for the third party ownership.
Further information on the PrairieSky
transactions can be found in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Annual Report 2014 | Encana Corporation 27 |
2014 versus 2013
Operating Cash Flow of $2,146 million
increased $465 million primarily due to the following significant items:
|
|
Higher natural gas prices reflected higher benchmark prices. Realized natural gas prices for production from Deep Panuke were $8.34 per Mcf which increased the average realized natural gas price $0.54 per Mcf. Higher
realized natural gas prices for production, including Deep Panuke, increased revenues $780 million. Lower liquids prices decreased revenues $13 million. |
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 1,378 MMcf/d were lower by 54 MMcf/d, which decreased revenues $83 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 37.2 Mbbls/d were higher by 6.8 Mbbls/d, which increased
revenues $163 million. Changes in production volumes are discussed in the Production Volumes section of this MD&A. |
|
|
Realized financial hedging losses were $56 million compared to gains of $276 million in 2013. |
|
|
Transportation and processing expense increased $79 million primarily due to costs related to Deep Panuke production and higher liquids volumes processed, partially offset by the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate
and the sale of the Bighorn assets. The Deep Panuke offshore natural gas facility commenced commercial operations in December 2013. |
|
|
Operating expense decreased $58 million primarily due to lower salaries and benefits related to workforce reductions as a result of the 2013 restructuring, the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate, the sale of the
Bighorn assets, the sale of the Jean Marie natural gas assets in the second quarter of 2013 and lower long-term compensation costs due to the decrease in the Encana share price. |
2013 versus 2012
Operating Cash Flow of $1,681 million
decreased $163 million primarily due to the following significant items:
|
|
Higher natural gas prices reflected higher benchmark prices, which increased revenues by $405 million. Lower liquids prices decreased revenues by $63 million. |
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 1,432 MMcf/d were higher by 73 MMcf/d, which increased revenues by $103 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 30.4 Mbbls/d were higher by 11.0 Mbbls/d. This
increased revenues by $281 million. Changes in production volumes are discussed in the Production Volumes section of this MD&A. |
|
|
Realized financial hedging gains were $276 million compared to $958 million in 2012. |
|
|
Transportation and processing expense increased $201 million primarily due to costs related to higher production volumes processed through third party facilities in Bighorn and Montney, costs related to the Deep Panuke
offshore natural gas facility and higher firm processing costs. |

In 2014, DD&A increased from 2013 primarily due to a higher depletion rate of $6.40 per BOE in 2014 compared to $6.06 per
BOE in 2013, partially offset by the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate. The depletion rate was impacted by the sale of the Bighorn assets, the sale of the Companys investment in PrairieSky, a decline in proved reserves due to
Encanas change in development plans as the Company strategically transitions to a more balanced commodity portfolio and the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate.
In 2013, DD&A decreased from 2012 due to a lower depletion rate of $6.06 per BOE in 2013 compared to $8.44 per BOE in 2012, partially offset by higher
production volumes in 2013. The lower depletion rate primarily resulted from ceiling test impairments recognized in 2012 and deductions from the full cost pool for amounts received from divestitures during 2012 and 2013.
In 2012, the Canadian Operations recognized non-cash ceiling test impairments before tax of $1,822 million. The impairments primarily resulted from the
decline in the 12-month average trailing natural gas prices, which reduced the Canadian Operations proved reserves volumes and values as calculated under SEC requirements.

2014 versus 2013
Operating Cash Flow of $1,772 million increased $261 million primarily due to the following significant items:
|
|
Higher natural gas prices reflected higher benchmark prices, which increased revenues $287 million. Lower liquids prices decreased revenues $10 million. |
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 972 MMcf/d were lower by 373 MMcf/d, which decreased revenues $519 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 49.6 Mbbls/d were higher by 26.1 Mbbls/d, which increased
revenues $666 million. Changes in production volumes are discussed in the Production Volumes section of this MD&A. |
|
|

|
|
Transportation and processing expense decreased $64 million primarily due to the sale of the Jonah and East Texas properties. |
|
|
Operating expense decreased $57 million primarily due to lower salaries and benefits related to workforce reductions as a result of the 2013 restructuring, the sale of the Jonah properties and lower long-term
compensation costs due to the decrease in the Encana share price, partially offset by the acquisition of Eagle Ford and the Permian assets.

In 2014, DD&A increased from 2013 due to a higher depletion rate of $12.85 per BOE in 2014 compared to $9.05 per BOE in
2013, partially offset by lower production volumes. The higher depletion rate in 2014 resulted primarily from the acquisition of Eagle Ford and the Permian assets, the sale of the Jonah properties and a decline in proved reserves due to
Encanas change in development plans as the Company strategically transitions to a more balanced commodity portfolio.
In 2013, DD&A decreased
from 2012 due to a lower depletion rate of $9.05 per BOE in 2013 compared to $10.67 per BOE in 2012 and lower production volumes in 2013. The lower depletion rate primarily resulted from ceiling test impairments recognized during 2012.
In 2012, the USA Operations recognized non-cash ceiling test impairments before tax of $2,842 million. The impairments primarily resulted from the decline in
the 12-month average trailing natural gas prices, which reduced the USA Operations proved reserves volumes and values as calculated under SEC requirements.

Market Optimization revenues and purchased product expense relate to activities that provide operational flexibility for
transportation commitments, product type, delivery points and customer diversification. Revenues and purchased product expense increased in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to generally higher commodity prices, and higher third party purchases
and sales of product resulting from transitional services related to the Companys divestiture activity. Revenues and purchased product expense increased in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to higher commodity prices, partially offset by
lower volumes required for optimization.

Revenues mainly include unrealized hedging gains or losses recorded on derivative financial contracts which result from the
volatility in forward curves of commodity prices and changes in the balance of unsettled contracts between periods. Transportation and processing expense reflects unrealized financial hedging gains or losses related to the Companys power
financial derivative contracts. DD&A includes amortization of corporate assets, such as computer equipment, office buildings, furniture and leasehold improvements. Impairments relates to certain corporate assets.
Corporate and Other results include revenues and operating expenses related to the sublease of office space in The Bow office building. Further information on
The Bow office sublease can be found in the Contractual Obligations and Contingencies section of this MD&A as well as Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Administrative expense in 2014 decreased from 2013 primarily due to lower restructuring costs, lower long-term compensation
costs and the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate. The decrease also reflects the cost savings attributable to workforce reductions associated with the 2013 restructuring. Restructuring costs incurred in 2014 were approximately $36 million
compared to $88 million in 2013. Administrative expense in 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to restructuring charges resulting from workforce reductions to align the organizational structure in support of the strategy announced in November
2013, partially offset by higher legal costs in 2012.
Interest expense in 2014 increased from 2013 primarily due to a one-time outlay of approximately
$125 million associated with the early redemption of senior notes assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of Athlon and higher interest related to the Deep Panuke Production Field Centre (PFC), partially offset by lower interest on
debt resulting from the long-term debt repayment and redemption in the first six months of 2014. Interest expense in 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to interest related to The Bow office building. Further information on the PFC capital lease
and The Bow office building can be found in the Contractual Obligations and Contingencies section of this MD&A as well as Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign exchange gains and losses result from the impact of the fluctuations in the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. Foreign exchange gains and losses
primarily arise from the revaluation and settlement of U.S. dollar long-term debt issued from Canada and the revaluation and settlement of other monetary assets and liabilities.
The gain on divestitures in 2014 primarily includes the before tax impact of the sale of Encanas investment in PrairieSky, the Bighorn assets and the
Jonah properties as discussed in the Net Capital Investment section of this MD&A.
Other in 2014 includes transaction costs associated with the
acquisitions of Athlon and Eagle Ford as well as reclamation charges relating to non-producing assets.

Current income tax expense in 2014 was $243 million compared to a recovery of $191 million in 2013. The current income tax
expense in 2014 was primarily due to current taxes incurred on divestitures. The current income tax recovery in 2013 was primarily due to amounts in respect of prior periods. The current income tax recovery of $200 million in 2012 was primarily due
to the carry back of tax losses to prior years.
Total income tax expense in 2014 was higher due to higher net earnings before tax primarily resulting
from gains on divestitures and unrealized hedging gains, and amounts in respect of prior periods recognized in 2013. Total income tax was a recovery of $248 million in 2013 and decreased $1,789 million compared to 2012 primarily due to higher net
earnings before tax mainly resulting from the non-cash ceiling test impairments included in the 2012 results. The Net Earnings variances are further discussed in the Financial Results section of this MD&A.
Encanas annual effective tax rate is impacted by earnings, statutory rate and other foreign differences, the effect of legislative changes, non-taxable
capital gains and losses, tax differences on divestitures and transactions, and partnership tax allocations in excess of funding.
Tax interpretations,
regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are subject to change. As a result, there are tax matters under review. The Company believes that the provision for taxes is adequate.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net
cash from operating activities in 2014 of $2,667 million increased $378 million from 2013. Net cash from operating activities in 2013 of $2,289 million decreased $818 million from 2012. These changes are primarily a result of the Cash Flow variances
discussed in the Financial Results section of this MD&A. In 2014, the net change in non-cash working capital was a deficit of $9 million compared to $179 million in 2013 and $323 million in 2012.
The Company had a working capital surplus of $455 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $1,338 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in
working capital is primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, an increase in deferred income tax liabilities and a decrease in deferred income tax assets, partially offset by a
decrease in the current portion of long-term debt, an increase in risk management assets and an increase in accounts receivable and accrued revenues. At December 31, 2014, working capital included cash and cash equivalents of $338 million
compared to $2,566 million at December 31, 2013. Encana expects that it will continue to meet the payment terms of its suppliers.
INVESTING
ACTIVITIES
Net cash used in investing activities in 2014 was $4,729 million compared to $1,895 million in 2013. The increase was primarily due to the
acquisitions of Athlon and Eagle Ford, partially offset by proceeds from the Bighorn, Jonah and East Texas divestitures and proceeds from the sale of the Companys investment in PrairieSky. Net cash used in investing activities in 2013 was
$1,895 million compared to net cash from investing activities of $361 million in 2012. The net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from lower divestiture proceeds, partially offset by lower capital expenditures. Investing activities
in 2013 included proceeds from the sale of the Companys 30 percent interest in the proposed Kitimat liquefied natural gas export terminal which closed in February 2013. Further information on capital expenditures, acquisitions and divestitures
can be found in the Net Capital Investment section of this MD&A.
Net cash used in investing activities in 2014 also included cash in reserve added to
escrow of $63 million compared to $44 million and $415 million released from escrow in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash in reserve includes monies which are not available for general operating use, are segregated or held in escrow and include
amounts received from counterparties related to jointly developed assets.

32 Encana Corporation | Annual Report 2014 |
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used in financing
activities in 2014 was $39 million compared to $909 million in 2013. The decrease primarily resulted from the sale of a noncontrolling interest in PrairieSky for proceeds of $1,462 million and the issuance of revolving long-term debt of $1,277
million, partially offset by the repayment of long-term debt totaling $2,487 million as discussed below. Net cash used in financing activities in 2013 was $909 million compared to $1,111 million in 2012. The decrease in cash used primarily resulted
from lower cash dividend payments in 2013.
LONG-TERM DEBT
Encanas long-term debt, excluding the current portion, totaled $7,340 million at December 31, 2014 and $6,124 million at December 31, 2013. The
current portion of long-term debt outstanding was nil at December 31, 2014 compared to $1,000 million at December 31, 2013.
At
December 31, 2014, Encana had an outstanding balance of $1,277 million under the Companys existing revolving credit facility. The outstanding balance reflects principal obligations related to LIBOR loans maturing at various dates with a
weighted average interest rate of 1.62 percent. These amounts are fully supported and Management expects they will continue to be supported by revolving credit facilities that have no repayment requirements within the next year. There were no
outstanding balances at December 31, 2013. Additional detail on Encanas credit facilities can be found below and in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On January 29, 2015, Encana implemented a U.S. Commercial Paper program (U.S. CP Program) with $2.0 billion of capacity, which reduces the
Companys borrowing costs. As of February 23, 2015, Encana had repaid the outstanding balance of $1,277 million which was drawn on the Companys revolving credit facility using $1.1 billion of proceeds from the U.S. CP Program and
cash on hand.
Encana has the flexibility to refinance maturing long-term debt or repay debt maturities from existing sources of liquidity. Encanas
primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, revolving bank credit facilities, working capital, operating cash flow and proceeds from asset divestitures.
REDEMPTION OF ATHLON DEBT ASSUMED
On November 13, 2014,
Encana completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Athlon and assumed Athlons $500 million 7.375 percent senior notes due April 15, 2021 and $650 million 6.00 percent senior notes due May 1,
2022. In conjunction with the acquisition, Encana repaid and terminated Athlons credit facility with indebtedness outstanding of $335 million. Encana funded the acquisition with cash on hand.
On December 16, 2014, Encana completed the redemption of all of Athlons senior notes. The Company recognized a one-time outlay of approximately
$125 million as a result of the redemption, but expects to save approximately $515 million in future interest expense associated with these notes. Upon acquisition, the Company recorded an increase in the fair value of the debt acquired from Athlon
of approximately $12 million, which was expensed upon redemption of the senior notes and is included in Other expenses in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Encana used proceeds from the Companys revolving credit facility
of $1,277 million to redeem the senior notes.
REDEMPTION OF 5.80 PERCENT NOTES
On February 28, 2014, Encana announced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of the Companys outstanding $1,000 million 5.80
percent notes with a maturity date of May 1, 2014. The Company paid $1,004.59 for each $1,000 principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the settlement date and a consent payment equal to $2.50 per
$1,000 principal amount of the notes.
On March 28, 2014, the tender offer and consent solicitation expired and, on March 31, 2014, Encana paid
the consenting note holders an aggregate of approximately $792 million in cash reflecting a $768 million principal debt repayment, $2 million for the consent payment and $22 million of accrued and unpaid interest.
On April 28, 2014, pursuant to the Notice of Redemption issued on March 28, 2014, the Company redeemed the remaining principal amount of the 5.80
percent notes not tendered in the tender offer. Encana paid approximately $239 million in cash reflecting a $232 million principal debt repayment and $7 million of accrued and unpaid interest.
CREDIT FACILITIES AND SHELF PROSPECTUS
Encana maintains two
revolving bank credit facilities which remain committed through June 2018. At December 31, 2014, Encana had available unused committed revolving bank credit facilities of $2.7 billion as follows:
|
|
A committed revolving bank credit facility for C$3.5 billion ($3.0 billion) for Encana, of which $1.7 billion remained unused. |
|
|
A committed revolving bank credit facility for a U.S. subsidiary for $1.0 billion, all of which remained unused. |
On June 27, 2014, Encana filed a short form base shelf prospectus, whereby the Company may issue from time to time up to $6.0 billion, or the equivalent
in foreign currencies, of debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, subscription receipts, warrants and units in Canada and/or the U.S. At December 31, 2014, the shelf prospectus remained accessible, the availability of which is
dependent upon market conditions. The shelf prospectus expires in July 2016. This shelf prospectus replaced a $4.0 billion debt shelf prospectus which expired in June 2014.
Encana is currently in compliance with, and expects that it will continue to be in compliance with, all financial covenants under its credit facility
agreements. Management monitors Debt to Adjusted Capitalization as a proxy for Encanas financial covenant under its credit facility agreements which require debt to adjusted capitalization to be less than 60 percent. The definitions used in
the covenant under the credit facilities adjust capitalization for cumulative historical ceiling test impairments that were recorded as at December 31, 2011 in conjunction with the Companys January 1, 2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP. Debt
to Adjusted Capitalization was 30 percent at December 31, 2014 and 36 percent at December 31, 2013.

Eligible employees have been granted stock options to purchase common shares in accordance with Encanas Employee Stock
Option Plan. A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right (TSAR) gives the option holder the right to receive a cash payment equal to the excess of the market price of Encanas common shares at the time of exercise over the original grant
price. The exercise of a TSAR for a cash payment does not result in the issuance of any Encana common shares and, therefore, has no dilutive effect. Historically, most holders of these options have elected to exercise their stock options as a TSAR
in exchange for a cash payment.
Restricted Share Units (RSUs) have been granted to eligible employees to receive an Encana common share, or
the cash equivalent, as determined by Encana, upon vesting of the RSUs and in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and Grant Agreement. The value of one RSU is notionally equivalent to one Encana common share. As at December 31, 2014,
there were approximately 9.0 million outstanding RSUs which vest three years from the date granted. The Company intends to settle vested RSUs in cash on the vesting date. A settlement in cash does not result in the issuance of any Encana common
shares and, therefore, has no dilutive effect.
During 2014, Encana issued 240,839 common shares under the Companys dividend reinvestment plan
(DRIP) compared with 5.4 million common shares in 2013. The number of common shares issued under the DRIP decreased in 2014 as a result of Encanas February 2014 announcement that any future dividends in conjunction with the
DRIP will be issued from its treasury without a discount to the average market price unless otherwise announced by the Company via news release. Prior to the February 2014 announcement, dividends issued under the DRIP were subject to a two percent
discount.
DIVIDENDS
Encana pays quarterly dividends to
shareholders at the discretion of the Board.

The dividends paid in 2014 included $5 million in common shares issued in lieu of cash dividends under the Companys DRIP
as disclosed above compared to $93 million for 2013.
On February 25, 2015, the Board declared a dividend of $0.07 per share payable on
March 31, 2015 to common shareholders of record as of March 13, 2015.
On February 25, 2015, Encana announced that its Board has determined
that effective with the dividend payable on March 31, 2015, all common shares distributed to participating shareholders pursuant to the Companys DRIP will be issued from Encanas treasury at a two percent discount to the average
market price of the common shares. Any future dividends of common shares distributed to DRIP participants will be issued with the discount unless otherwise announced by Encana by way of news release.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The Companys capital structure consists
of total shareholders equity plus long-term debt, including the current portion. The Companys objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility to preserve Encanas access to capital markets and
its ability to meet financial obligations and finance internally generated growth, as well as potential acquisitions. Encana has a long-standing practice of maintaining capital discipline and managing and adjusting its capital structure according to
market conditions to maintain flexibility while achieving the Companys objectives.
To manage the capital structure, the Company may adjust capital
spending, adjust dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, issue new debt or repay existing debt. In managing its capital structure, the Company monitors the following non-GAAP financial metrics as indicators of its overall financial
strength, which are defined in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A.

Principal component only. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. |

The Company has recorded $10,255 million in liabilities related to these obligations. |
Contractual obligations
arising from long-term debt, asset retirement obligations, The Bow office building and capital leases are recognized on the Companys balance sheet. Further information can be found in the note disclosures to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Other Long-Term Obligations relates to the 25-year lease agreement with a third party developer for The Bow office building. Encana has
recognized the accumulated construction costs for The Bow office building as an asset with a related liability. In 2012, Encana commenced payments to the third party developer. At the conclusion of the 25-year term, the remaining asset and
corresponding liability are expected to be derecognized. Encana has subleased part of The Bow office space to a subsidiary of Cenovus Energy Inc. (Cenovus). Sublease Recoveries in the table above include the amounts expected to be
recovered from Cenovus. Encanas undiscounted payments for The Bow are $2,060 million, of which $1,012 million is expected to be recovered from Cenovus.
Capital Leases primarily includes the obligation related to the Deep Panuke PFC, which commenced commercial operations in December 2013 following issuance of
the Production Acceptance Notice. Encanas undiscounted future lease payments for the Deep Panuke PFC total $625 million ($462 million discounted).
In addition to the Commitments disclosed above, Encana has significant development commitments with joint venture partners, a portion of which may be
satisfied by the Drilling and Field Services commitments included in the table above. Encana also has obligations related to its risk management program and to fund its defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans. Further
information can be found in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the Companys risk management program. The Company expects to fund its 2015 commitments and obligations from Cash Flow and cash and cash equivalents.
CONTINGENCIES
Encana is involved in various legal claims
and actions arising in the course of the Companys 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 Encanas financial
position, cash flows or results of operations. If an unfavourable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Companys consolidated net earnings or loss in the period in which the outcome is
determined. Accruals for litigation and claims are recognized if the Company determines that the loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has made adequate provision for such legal claims.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Encanas business, prospects, financial
condition, results of operation and cash flows, and in some cases its reputation, are impacted by risks that can be categorized as follows:
|
|
environmental, regulatory, reputational and safety risks. |
Encana aims to strengthen its position as a leading
North American energy producer and grow shareholder value through a disciplined focus on generating profitable growth. Encana continues to focus on developing a balanced portfolio of low-risk and low-cost long-life plays, which allows the Company to
respond well to market uncertainties. Management adjusts financial and operational risk strategies to proactively respond to changing economic conditions and to mitigate or reduce risk.
Issues that can affect Encanas reputation are generally strategic or emerging issues that can be identified early and then appropriately managed, but
can also include unforeseen issues that must be managed on a more urgent basis. Encana takes a proactive approach to the identification and management of issues that affect the Companys reputation and has established appropriate policies,
procedures, guidelines and responsibilities for identifying and managing these issues.
FINANCIAL RISKS
Encana defines financial risks as the risk of loss or lost opportunity resulting from financial management and market conditions that could have an impact on
Encanas business.
Financial risks include, but are not limited to:
|
|
market pricing of natural gas and liquids; |
|
|
foreign exchange rates; and |
Encana partially mitigates its exposure to financial risks through the use of various
financial instruments and physical contracts. The use of derivative financial instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board. All derivative financial agreements are with major global financial
institutions or with corporate counterparties having investment grade credit ratings. Encana has in place policies and procedures with respect to the required documentation and approvals for the use of derivative financial instruments and
specifically ties their use to the mitigation of financial risk to achieve investment returns and growth objectives, while maintaining prescribed financial metrics.
To partially mitigate commodity price risk, the Company may enter into transactions that fix, set a floor or set a floor and cap on prices. To help protect
against regional price differentials, Encana executes transactions to manage the price differentials between its production areas and various sales points. Further information, including the details of Encanas financial instruments as at
December 31, 2014, is disclosed in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Counterparty credit risks are regularly and proactively
managed. A substantial portion of Encanas credit exposure is with customers in the oil and gas industry or financial institutions. This credit exposure is mitigated through the use of Board-approved credit policies governing the Companys
credit portfolio, including credit practices that limit transactions and grant payment terms according to industry standards and counterparties credit quality.
The Company manages liquidity risk using cash and debt management programs. The Company has access to cash equivalents and a range of funding alternatives at
competitive rates through committed revolving bank credit facilities and debt and equity capital markets. Encana closely monitors the Companys ability to access cost-effective credit and ensures that sufficient liquidity is in place to fund
capital expenditures and dividend payments. The Company minimizes its liquidity risk by managing its capital structure which may include adjusting capital spending, adjusting dividends paid to shareholders, issuing new shares, issuing new debt or
repaying existing debt.
As a means of mitigating the exposure to fluctuations in the U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate, Encana may enter into foreign
exchange contracts. Realized gains or losses on these contracts are recognized on settlement. By maintaining U.S. and Canadian operations, Encana has a natural hedge to some foreign exchange exposure.
Encana also maintains a mix of both U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar debt. This helps to offset the exposure to the fluctuations in the U.S./Canadian dollar
exchange rate. In addition to direct issuance of U.S. dollar denominated debt, the Company may enter into cross currency swaps on a portion of its debt as a means of managing the U.S./Canadian dollar debt mix.
The Company may partially mitigate its exposure to interest rate changes by holding a mix of both fixed and floating rate debt. Encana may enter into interest
rate swap transactions from time to time as an additional means of managing the fixed/floating rate debt portfolio mix.

OPERATIONAL RISKS
Operational risks are defined as the risk of loss or lost opportunity resulting from the following:
|
|
capital activities, including the ability to complete projects; and |
|
|
reserves and resources replacement. |
The Companys ability to operate, generate cash flows, complete
projects, and value reserves and resources is subject to financial risks, including commodity prices mentioned above, continued market demand for its products and other risk factors outside of its control. These factors include: general business and
market conditions; economic recessions and financial market turmoil; the overall state of the capital markets, including investor appetite for investments in the oil and gas industry generally and the Companys securities in particular; the
ability to secure and maintain cost-effective financing for its commitments; legislative, environmental and regulatory matters; unexpected cost increases; royalties; taxes; volatility in natural gas and liquids prices; partner funding for their
share of joint venture and partnership commitments; the availability of drilling and other equipment; the ability to access lands; the ability to access water for hydraulic fracturing operations; weather; the availability of processing capacity; the
availability and proximity of take-away capacity; technology failures; cyber attacks; accidents; the availability of skilled labour; and reservoir quality. If Encana fails to acquire or find additional natural gas and liquids reserves and resources,
its reserves, resources and production will decline materially from their current levels and, therefore, its cash flows are highly dependent upon successfully exploiting current reserves and resources and acquiring, discovering or developing
additional reserves and resources. To mitigate these risks, as part of the capital approval process, the Companys projects are evaluated on a fully risked basis, including geological risk, engineering risk and reliance on third party service
providers.
In addition, Encana undertakes a thorough review of previous capital programs to identify key learnings, which often include operational
issues that positively and negatively impact project results. Mitigation plans are developed for the operational issues that had a negative impact on results. These mitigation plans are then incorporated into the current year plan for the project.
On an annual basis, these results are analyzed for Encanas capital program with the results and identified learnings shared across the Company.
A
peer review process is used to ensure that capital projects are appropriately risked and that knowledge is shared across the Company. Peer reviews are undertaken primarily for exploration projects and early stage plays, although they may occur for
any type of project.
When making operating and investing decisions, Encanas highly disciplined, dynamic and centrally controlled capital allocation
program ensures investment dollars are directed in a manner that is consistent with the Companys strategy. Encana also mitigates operational risks through a number of other policies, systems and processes as well as by maintaining a
comprehensive insurance program.

Annual Report 2014 | Encana Corporation 37 |
ENVIRONMENTAL, REGULATORY, REPUTATIONAL AND SAFETY RISKS
The Company is committed to safety in its operations and has high regard for the environment and stakeholders, including the public and regulators. The
Companys business is subject to all of the operating risks normally associated with the exploration for, development of and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and the operation of midstream facilities. When assessing the materiality of
environmental risk factors, Encana takes into account a number of qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to, the financial, operational, reputational and regulatory aspects of each identified risk factor. These risks are
managed by executing policies and standards that are designed to comply with or exceed government regulations and industry standards. In addition, Encana maintains a system that identifies, assesses and controls safety, security and environmental
risk and requires regular reporting to the Executive Leadership Team and the Board. The Corporate Responsibility, Environment, Health and Safety Committee of Encanas Board provides recommended environmental policies for approval by
Encanas Board and oversees compliance with government laws and regulations. Monitoring and reporting programs for environmental, health and safety performance in day-to-day operations, as well as inspections and audits, are designed to provide
assurance that environmental and regulatory standards are met. Emergency response plans are in place to provide guidance during times of crisis. Contingency plans are in place for a timely response to environmental events and remediation/reclamation
strategies are utilized to restore the environment.
Encanas operations are subject to regulation and intervention by governments that can affect or
prohibit the drilling, completion, including hydraulic fracturing and tie-in of wells, production, the construction or expansion of facilities and the operation and abandonment of fields. Changes in government regulation could impact the
Companys existing and planned projects as well as impose a cost of compliance.
One of the processes Encana monitors relates to hydraulic
fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is used throughout the oil and gas industry where fracturing fluids are utilized to develop the reservoir. This process has been used in the oil and gas industry for approximately 60 years. Encana uses multiple
techniques to fully understand the effect of each hydraulic fracturing operation it conducts. In all Encana operations, rigorous water management and protection is an essential part of this process.
Hydraulic fracturing processes are strictly regulated by various state and provincial government agencies. Encana meets or exceeds the requirements set out by
the regulators. The U.S. and Canadian federal governments and certain U.S. state and Canadian provincial governments are currently reviewing certain aspects of the scientific, regulatory and policy framework under which hydraulic fracturing
operations are conducted. At present, most of these governments are primarily engaged in the collection, review and assessment of technical information regarding the hydraulic fracturing process and have not provided specific details with respect to
any significant actual, proposed or contemplated changes to hydraulic fracturing regulations.
In the state of Colorado, several cities have passed local
ordinances limiting or banning certain oil and gas activities, including hydraulic fracturing. These local rule-making initiatives have not significantly impacted the Companys operations or development plans in the state to date. The ballot
initiatives previously filed in the state seeking to transfer the authority to regulate all oil and gas activities, including hydraulic fracturing, to local governments were withdrawn in August 2014. Encana continues to work with state and local
governments, academics and industry leaders to respond to hydraulic fracturing related concerns in Colorado. The Company recognizes that additional hydraulic fracturing ballot and/or local rule-making limiting or restricting oil and gas development
activities are a possibility in the future and will continue to monitor and respond to these developments in 2015.
Encana is committed to and supports
the disclosure of hydraulic fracturing chemical information. Encana participates in the FracFocus Chemical Disclosure Registry (the Registry) in the U.S. and the Alberta and British Columbia versions of the Registry. Encana works
collaboratively with industry peers, trade associations, fluid suppliers and regulators to identify, develop and advance responsible hydraulic fracturing best practices. More information on hydraulic fracturing can be accessed on the Companys
website at www.encana.com.
Air quality regulations in the state of Colorado were amended in February 2014 to address ozone non-attainment in the state.
The amended regulations establish new leak detection and repair requirements and hydrocarbon emissions standards for the oil and gas industry in the state. Encana has reviewed the new requirements and does not anticipate they will have a material
impact on its Colorado operations.

CLIMATE CHANGE REGULATIONS
A number of federal, provincial and state governments have announced intentions to regulate greenhouse gases (GHG) and certain other air emissions.
While some jurisdictions have provided details on these regulations, it is anticipated that other jurisdictions will announce emission reduction plans in the future. As these federal and regional programs are under development, Encana is unable to
predict the total impact of the potential regulations upon its business. Therefore, it is possible that the Company could face increases in operating and capital costs in order to comply with GHG emissions legislation. However, Encana will continue
to work with governments to develop an approach to deal with climate change issues that protects the industrys competitiveness, limits the cost and administrative burden of compliance and supports continued investment in the sector.
The Alberta Government has set targets for GHG emission reductions. In March 2007, regulations were amended to require facilities that emit more than 100,000
tonnes of GHG emissions per year to reduce their emissions intensity by 12 percent from a regulated baseline starting July 1, 2007. To comply, companies can make operating improvements, purchase carbon offsets or make a C$15 per tonne
contribution to an Alberta Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund. At present, Encana does not own or operate any facilities subject to the emissions regulation. The Companys forecast cost of carbon associated with the Alberta
regulations is not material to Encana and is being actively managed.
In British Columbia, effective July 1, 2008, a revenue neutral carbon
tax was applied to virtually all fossil fuels, including diesel, natural gas, coal, propane and home heating fuel. The tax applies to combustion emissions and to the purchase or use of fossil fuels within the province. The rate started at C$10
per tonne of carbon equivalent emissions and has risen to C$30 per tonne at present. The Companys forecast cost of carbon associated with the British Columbia regulations is not material to Encana and is being actively managed.
The Canadian federal government has announced that it will align GHG emission reduction targets with the U.S. The Canadian federal government has taken a
sector-specific approach and, while progress has been made working with industry and the provinces on the development of oil and gas sector-specific regulations, the federal government has not committed to a definitive timeline for implementation
and/or release of legislation. Encana will continue to monitor these developments during 2015.
The U.S. federal government has noted climate change
action as a priority for the current administration. On January 14, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) outlined a series of steps to address methane and volatile organic compound emissions from the oil and gas industry,
including a new goal to reduce oil and gas methane emissions by 40 to 45 percent from 2012 levels by 2025. The reductions will be achieved through regulatory and voluntary measures which have not yet been announced. The EPA plans to propose this new
rule and guidance in late summer 2015 with a final rule and guidance expected in 2016.
Encana intends to continue its activity to reduce its emissions
intensity and improve its energy efficiency. The Companys efforts with respect to emissions management are founded with a focus on energy efficiency, the development of technology to reduce GHG emissions and active involvement in the creation
of industry best practices.
Encana has a proactive strategy for addressing the implications of emerging carbon regulations which is composed of three
principal elements:
|
|
Active Cost Management. When regulations are implemented, a cost is placed on Encanas emissions (or a portion thereof) and, while these are not material at this stage, they are being actively managed to
ensure compliance. Factors such as effective emissions tracking and attention to fuel consumption help to support and drive the Companys focus on cost reduction. |
|
|
Anticipate and Respond to Price Signals. As regulatory regimes for GHG develop in the jurisdictions where Encana operates, inevitably price signals begin to emerge. The price of potential carbon reductions plays
a role in the economics of the projects that are implemented. In response to the anticipated price of carbon, Encana is also attempting, where appropriate, to realize the associated value of its reduction projects. |
|
|
Work with Industry Groups. Encana continues to work with governments, academics and industry leaders to develop and respond to emerging GHG regulations. By continuing to stay engaged in the debate on the most
appropriate means to regulate these emissions, the Company gains useful knowledge that allows it to explore different strategies for managing its emissions and costs. These scenarios influence Encanas long-range planning and its analyses on
the implications of regulatory trends. |
Encana monitors developments in emerging climate change policy and legislation, and considers the
associated costs of carbon in its planning. Management and the Board review the impact of a variety of carbon constrained scenarios on its business plans, with a current price range from approximately $20 to $125 per tonne of emissions applied to a
range of emissions coverage levels. Although uncertainty remains regarding potential future emissions regulation, Encanas plan is to continue to assess and evaluate the cost of carbon relative to its investments across a range of scenarios.
Encana recognizes that there is a cost associated with carbon emissions. Encana is confident that GHG regulations and the cost of carbon at various price
levels have been adequately considered as part of its business planning and scenarios analyses. Encana believes that the resource play strategy is an effective way to develop the resource, generate shareholder returns and coordinate overall
environmental objectives with respect to carbon, air emissions, water and land. Encana is committed to transparency with its stakeholders and will keep them apprised of how these issues affect operations. Additional detail on Encanas GHG
emissions is available in the Sustainability Report that is available on the Companys website at www.encana.com.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Companys President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Executive Vice-President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that:
|
|
Material information relating to the Company is made known to the CEO and CFO by others; and |
|
|
Information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
period specified in securities legislation. |
Such officers have evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under their supervision, the
effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures at the financial year end of the Company. Based on their evaluation, the officers have concluded that Encanas disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at
December 31, 2014.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Companys financial reporting, which is a process designed
by, or designed under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, and effected by the Board, Management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Under their supervision and with the participation of Management, including the CEO and CFO, an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting was conducted at December 31, 2014, based on the Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, Management has concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effectively designed and operating effectively as at that date.
Except for changes relating to the continuing integration of Athlon, as discussed below, there have been no changes in the Companys internal control
over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting.
In accordance with Section 3.3(1) of National Instrument 52-109 and Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the United States Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, Management has limited the scope and design and subsequent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting to exclude the controls, policies and procedures of Athlon, acquired through a business combination on
November 13, 2014. Summary financial information related to Athlons operations included in Encanas Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 is as follows:

LIMITATIONS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
The Companys control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to Management regarding the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation and should not be expected to prevent all errors or fraud. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent firm of chartered accountants, was
appointed by a vote of shareholders at the Companys last annual meeting to audit and provide independent opinions on both the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Companys internal control over financial reporting as at
December 31, 2014, as stated in their Auditors Report which is included in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management is required to make judgments, assumptions and estimates in applying its accounting policies and practices, which have a significant impact on the
financial results of the Company. A summary of Encanas significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. The following discussion outlines the accounting
policies and practices involving the use of estimates that are critical to determining Encanas financial results.
UPSTREAM ASSETS AND RESERVES
Encana follows U.S. GAAP full cost accounting for natural gas, oil and NGL activities. Reserves estimates can have a significant impact on net earnings, as
they are a key input to the Companys depletion, gain or loss and ceiling test impairment calculations. A downward revision in reserves estimates may increase depletion expense and may also result in a ceiling test impairment. A ceiling test
impairment is recognized in net earnings when the carrying amount of a country cost centre exceeds the country cost centre ceiling. The carrying amount of a cost centre includes capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties, net of accumulated
depletion and the related deferred income taxes. The cost centre ceiling is the sum of the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves as calculated under SEC requirements, using the 12-month average trailing prices and
unescalated future development and production costs, discounted at 10 percent, plus unproved property costs. The 12-month average trailing price is calculated as the average of the price on the first day of each month within the trailing 12-month
period. Any excess of the carrying amount over the calculated ceiling is recognized as an impairment in net earnings. During 2012, Encana recorded ceiling test impairments, which are discussed further in the Results of Operations section of this
MD&A.
Annually, all of Encanas natural gas, oil and NGL reserves and resources are evaluated and reported on by IQREs. The estimation of
reserves is a subjective process. Estimates are based on engineering data, projected future rates of production, and the timing of future expenditures, all of which are subject to numerous uncertainties and various interpretations. Reserves
estimates can be revised upward or downward based on the results of future drilling, testing, production levels and economics of recovery.
The Company
believes that the discounted after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves required to be used in the ceiling test calculation are not indicative of the fair market value of Encanas oil and gas properties or of the future net cash flows
expected to be generated from such properties. The discounted after-tax future net cash flows do not consider the value of unproved properties, the value of probable or possible reserves or future changes in commodity prices. Encana manages its
business using estimates of reserves and resources based on forecast prices and costs.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Encana follows the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at the date of
acquisition at their respective estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Any deficiency of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net
assets acquired is recorded as a gain in net earnings. In determining fair value, Encana utilized valuation methodologies including the income approach.
The assumptions made in performing these valuations include discount rates, future commodity prices and costs, the timing of development activities,
projections of oil and gas reserves, estimates to abandon and reclaim producing wells and tax amortization benefits available to a market participant. Any significant change in key assumptions may cause the acquisition accounting to be revised,
including the recognition of additional goodwill or discount on acquisition.
The valuation of fair values are determined based on information that
existed at the time of the acquisition, utilizing expectations and assumptions that would be available to and made by a market participant. However, there is no assurance the underlying assumptions or estimates associated with the valuation will
occur as initially expected. Changes in key assumptions and estimates can impact net earnings through ceiling test impairments, impairments of goodwill, or lower future operating results.
GOODWILL
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase
price over fair value of net assets acquired, is assessed for impairment at least annually at December 31. Goodwill and all other assets and liabilities are allocated to reporting units, which are Encanas country cost centres. To assess
impairment, the carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is higher than its related fair value then goodwill is written down to the
reporting units implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair value of the reporting units assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit as if the reporting
entity had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill is recognized as an impairment and charged to net earnings. Subsequent measurement of goodwill is at cost less
accumulated impairments.
The fair value used in the impairment test is based on estimates of discounted future cash flows which involves assumptions of
natural gas and liquids reserves, including commodity prices, future costs and discount rates. Encana has assessed its goodwill for impairment at December 31, 2014 and has determined that no write-down is required.

Annual Report 2014 | Encana Corporation 41 |
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
Asset retirement obligations are
those legal obligations where the Company will be required to retire tangible long-lived assets such as producing well sites, offshore production platforms and natural gas processing plants. The fair value of estimated asset retirement obligations
is recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet when incurred and a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement cost, equal to the initially estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation, is capitalized as part of
the cost of the related long-lived asset. Changes in the estimated obligation resulting from revisions to estimated timing or amount of future cash flows are recognized as a change in the asset retirement obligation and the related asset retirement
cost.
The asset retirement obligation is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows of the settlement. The discounted cash flows are based
on estimates of such factors as reserves lives, retirement costs, timing of settlements, credit-adjusted risk-free rates and inflation rates. These estimates will impact net earnings through accretion of the asset retirement obligation in addition
to depletion of the asset retirement cost included in property, plant and equipment. Actual expenditures incurred are charged against the accumulated asset retirement obligation.
INCOME TAXES
Encana follows the liability method of accounting
for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded for the effect of any temporary difference between the accounting and income tax basis of an asset or liability, using the enacted income tax rates and laws expected to apply
when the assets are realized and liabilities are settled. Current income taxes are measured at the amount expected to be recoverable from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates and laws enacted at the end of the
reporting period. The effect of a change in the enacted tax rates or laws is recognized in net earnings in the period of enactment.
Deferred income tax
assets are routinely assessed for realizability. If it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets. Encana considers available positive and negative
evidence when assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, including historic and expected future taxable earnings, available tax planning strategies and carry forward periods. The assumptions used in determining expected future taxable
earnings are consistent with those used in the goodwill impairment assessment.
Encanas interim income tax expense is determined using an 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 the expected annual
earnings, statutory rate and other foreign differences, non-taxable capital gains and losses, tax differences on divestitures and transactions, and partnership tax allocations in excess of funding.
Encana recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be
sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. A recognized tax position is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority.
Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to be settled within the next 12 months are included in other liabilities and provisions.
Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are subject to change. As
such, income taxes are subject to measurement uncertainty and the interpretations can impact net earnings through the income tax expense arising from the changes in deferred income tax assets or liabilities.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As described in the Risk
Management section of this MD&A, derivative financial instruments are used by Encana to manage its exposure to market risks relating to commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Companys policy is not to
utilize derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized in net earnings. The fair values recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet reflect netting the asset and liability positions where counterparty master netting arrangements contain provisions for net settlement. Realized gains or losses
from financial derivatives related to natural gas and oil commodity prices are recognized in revenues as the contracts are settled. Realized gains or losses from financial derivatives related to power commodity prices are recognized in
transportation and processing expense as the related power contracts are settled. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in revenues and transportation and processing expense accordingly, at the end of each respective reporting period based on
the changes in fair value of the contracts.
The estimate of fair value of all derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices or, in their
absence, third party market indications and forecasts. The estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities is subject to measurement uncertainty.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING
POLICIES AND PRACTICES
As of January 1, 2014, Encana adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which have not had a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements:
|
|
ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date, clarifies guidance for the recognition, measurement
and disclosure of liabilities resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. The amendments have been applied retrospectively. |
|
|
ASU 2013-05, Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,
clarifies the applicable guidance for certain transactions that result in the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. The amendments have been applied prospectively. |
|
|
ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, clarifies that a liability related to an unrecognized tax
benefit or portions thereof should be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, except under specific situations. The amendments have been applied
prospectively. |
NEW STANDARDS ISSUED NOT YET ADOPTED
As of January 1, 2015, Encana will be required to adopt ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an

will be applied prospectively and are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of
January 1, 2016, Encana will be required to adopt ASU 2014-12, Compensation Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite
Service Period. The standard requires a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments will be applied prospectively and are not expected to
have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of January 1, 2017, Encana will be required to adopt ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers under Topic 606, which was the result of a joint project by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board. The new standard replaces Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and other
industry-specific guidance in the Accounting Standards Codification. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized on the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the
Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard can be applied using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach at the date of adoption. Encana is currently assessing the
potential impact of the standard on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. These measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by Encana to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the
Companys liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. Non-GAAP measures include: Cash Flow; Free Cash Flow; Operating Earnings; Upstream Operating Cash Flow, excluding Hedging; Operating Netback; Debt to Debt Adjusted
Cash Flow; and Debt to Adjusted Capitalization. Managements use of these measures is discussed further below.
CASH FLOW AND FREE CASH FLOW
Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by Encana to assist Management and investors in measuring the
Companys ability to finance capital programs and meet financial obligations. Cash Flow is defined as cash from operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, net change in non-cash working capital and cash tax on
sale of assets.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as Cash Flow in excess of capital investment, excluding net acquisitions and divestitures,
and is used to determine the funds available for other investing and/or financing activities.

OPERATING EARNINGS
Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts Net Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders by non-operating items that Management believes reduces
the comparability of the Companys underlying financial performance between periods. Operating Earnings is commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by Encana to provide investors with information that is more comparable between periods.
Operating Earnings is defined as Net Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders excluding non-recurring or non-cash items that Management believes
reduces the comparability of the Companys financial performance between periods. These after-tax items may include, but are not limited to, unrealized hedging gains/ losses, impairments, restructuring charges, non-operating foreign exchange
gains/losses, gains/losses on divestitures, income taxes related to divestitures and adjustments to normalize the effect of income taxes calculated using the estimated annual effective income tax rate.

UPSTREAM OPERATING CASH FLOW, EXCLUDING HEDGING
Upstream
Operating Cash Flow, excluding Hedging is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts the Canadian and USA Operations revenues, net of royalties for production and mineral taxes, transportation and processing expense, operating expense and the impacts of
realized hedging. Management monitors Upstream Operating Cash Flow, excluding Hedging as it reflects operating performance and measures the Companys portfolio transition to higher margin production. Upstream Operating Cash Flow, excluding
Hedging is reconciled to GAAP measures in the Results of Operations section of this MD&A. The table below totals Upstream Operating Cash Flow for Encana.

OPERATING NETBACK
Operating Netback is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry to measure operating performance by product. Operating Netbacks are calculated by
determining product revenues, net of royalties and deducting costs associated with delivering the product to market, including production and mineral taxes, transportation and processing expenses and operating expenses. The Operating Netback
calculation is shown in the Results of Operations section of this MD&A.
DEBT TO DEBT ADJUSTED CASH FLOW
Debt to Debt Adjusted Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure monitored by Management as an indicator of the Companys overall financial strength. Debt Adjusted
Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as Cash Flow on a trailing 12-month basis excluding interest expense after tax.
Previously, Management monitored
Net Debt to Debt Adjusted Cash Flow. Net Debt was defined as long-term debt, including current portion, less cash and cash equivalents.

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 Encanas financial
covenant under its credit facility agreements 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 Companys January 1, 2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP.

Although Encana believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations
will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this document are made as of the date hereof and, except as required by law,
Encana undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by
this cautionary statement.
Forward-looking information respecting anticipated 2015 cash flow for Encana is based upon, among other things, achieving
average production for 2015 of between 1,600 MMcf/d and 1,700 MMcf/d of natural gas and 130 Mbbls/d to 150 Mbbls/d of liquids, commodity prices for natural gas and liquids based on NYMEX $3.00 per MMBtu and WTI of $50 per bbl, an estimated
U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate of 0.80 and a weighted average number of outstanding shares for Encana of approximately 741 million.
Assumptions
relating to forward-looking statements generally include Encanas current expectations and projections made in light of, and generally consistent with, its historical experience and its perception of historical trends, including the conversion
of resources into reserves and production as well as expectations regarding rates of advancement and innovation, generally consistent with and informed by its past experience, all of which are subject to the risk factors identified elsewhere in this
document.
Encana is required to disclose events and circumstances that occurred during the period to which this MD&A relates that are reasonably
likely to cause actual results to differ materially from material forward-looking statements for a period that is not yet complete that Encana has previously disclosed to the public and the expected differences thereto. Such disclosure can be found
in Encanas news release dated February 25, 2015, which is available on Encanas website at www.encana.com, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
OIL AND GAS INFORMATION
NI 51-101 of the Canadian
Securities Administrators imposes oil and gas disclosure standards for Canadian public companies engaged in oil and gas activities. The Canadian protocol disclosure is contained in Appendix A and under Narrative Description of the
Business in the Companys AIF. Encana obtained an exemption dated January 4, 2011 from certain requirements of NI 51-101 to permit it to provide certain disclosure prepared in accordance with U.S. disclosure requirements, in addition
to the Canadian protocol disclosure. The Companys U.S. protocol disclosure is included in Note 26 (unaudited) to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and in Appendix D of the AIF.
Further, Encana obtained an exemption dated January 21, 2015 from certain requirements of NI 51-101 to permit it to use the definition of product
type contained in the amendments to NI 51-101, published by the securities regulatory authority in each of the jurisdictions of Canada on December 4, 2014 that are anticipated to come into force on July 1, 2015, as it relates to its
Canadian protocol disclosure contained in Appendix A of the AIF.
A description of the primary differences between the disclosure requirements under the
Canadian standards and under the U.S. standards is set forth under the heading Reserves and Other Oil and Gas Information in the AIF.
NATURAL
GAS, OIL AND NGLS CONVERSIONS
In this document, certain natural gas volumes have been converted to BOE on the basis of six Mcf to one bbl. Barrels of oil
equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of 6:1 is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent 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.
PLAY AND RESOURCE PLAY
Play is a term used by Encana which encompasses resource plays, geological formations and conventional plays. Resource play is a term used by Encana to
describe an accumulation of hydrocarbons known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section, which, when compared to a conventional play, typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk and lower average
decline rate.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Further
information regarding Encana Corporation, including its AIF, can be accessed under the Companys public filings found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on the Companys website at www.encana.com.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
|
|
|
Managements Responsibility for Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Encana Corporation (the Company) are the responsibility of Management. The Consolidated
Financial Statements have been prepared by Management in United States dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and include certain estimates that reflect Managements best judgments.
The Companys Board of Directors has approved the information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Board of Directors fulfills its
responsibility regarding the financial statements mainly through its Audit Committee, which has a written mandate that complies with the current requirements of Canadian securities legislation and the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and
voluntarily complies, in principle, with the Audit Committee guidelines of the New York Stock Exchange. The Audit Committee meets at least on a quarterly basis.
Managements Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Companys financial reporting. The internal control
system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Companys Management regarding the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has assessed the design and effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2014. In making its assessment, Management has used the Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Based on our evaluation, Management has concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting was
effectively designed and operating effectively as at that date.
Management has excluded Athlon Energy Inc. from its assessment of internal control over
financial reporting as at December 31, 2014 because it was acquired by the Company through a business combination during 2014. Assets attributable to Athlon Energy Inc. as of December 31, 2014 represented approximately 13 percent of the
Companys total assets as of December 31, 2014, and revenues attributable to Athlon Energy Inc. for the period from November 13, 2014 to December 31, 2014 represented approximately 2 percent of the Companys total revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2014.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent firm of chartered accountants, was appointed by a vote of
shareholders at the Companys last annual meeting to audit and provide independent opinions on both the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Companys internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2014, as stated
in their Auditors Report. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has provided such opinions.

AUDITORS REPORT
|
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Shareholders of Encana Corporation
We have
completed an integrated audit of Encana Corporations 2014, 2013 and 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements and its internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2014. Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.
Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Encana Corporation, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive
Income, Changes in Shareholders Equity and Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits as at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated
Financial Statements are free from material misstatement. Canadian generally accepted auditing standards also require that we comply with ethical requirements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence, on a test basis, about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the companys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting principles and policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Opinion
In our opinion, the
Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Encana Corporation and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
50 Encana Corporation | Annual
Report 2014
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
We have also audited Encana Corporation and its subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2014, based on criteria
established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Managements Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Auditors
Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We
conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
An audit of internal control over
financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the
assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our audit opinion on the companys internal control over financial reporting.
Definition of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations
Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As described in Managements Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Athlon Energy Inc. from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2014 because it was acquired by the Company through a business combination during 2014. We
have also excluded Athlon Energy Inc. from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Assets attributable to Athlon Energy Inc. as of December 31, 2014 represented approximately 13 percent of the Companys total assets as of
December 31, 2014, and revenues attributable to Athlon Energy Inc. for the period from November 13, 2014 to December 31, 2014 represented approximately 2 percent of the Companys total revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2014.
Opinion
In our opinion,
Encana Corporation and its subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by COSO.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS |
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Encana Corporation and its subsidiaries (Encana or the Company) are in the business of the exploration for, the development of, and the
production and marketing of natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The term liquids is used to represent Encanas oil, NGLs and condensate.
B) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Consolidated Financial
Statements include the accounts of Encana and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).
In these Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States (U.S.) dollars.
Encanas financial results are consolidated in Canadian dollars; however, the Company has adopted the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency to facilitate a more direct comparison to other North American oil and gas companies. All references to
US$ or to $ are to United States dollars and references to C$ are to Canadian dollars.
C) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Encana and entities in which it holds a controlling interest. The noncontrolling interest
represented the third party equity ownership in a former consolidated subsidiary, PrairieSky Royalty Ltd. (PrairieSky). See Note 18 for further details regarding the noncontrolling interest. As of September 26, 2014, Encana no
longer holds an interest in PrairieSky. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. For upstream joint interest operations where Encana retains an undivided interest in jointly owned property, the Company records its
proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Investments in non-controlled entities over which Encana has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method.
D) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Monetary assets and
liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the period end date. Any gains or losses are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Foreign currency revenues and
expenses are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the time of the transaction.
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at
period end exchange rates, while the related revenues and expenses are translated using average rates over the period. Translation gains and losses relating to the foreign operations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income
(AOCI). Recognition of Encanas accumulated translation gains and losses into net earnings occurs upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the Companys investment in the foreign operation.
For financial statement presentation, assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency at period end exchange rates, while revenues and
expenses are translated using average rates over the period. Gains and losses relating to the financial statement translation are included in AOCI.
E)
USE OF ESTIMATES
Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Management to make informed estimates and
assumptions and use judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future events occur.
Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions are:
|
|
Estimates of proved reserves and related future cash flows used for depletion and ceiling test impairment calculations |
|
|
Estimated fair value of long-term assets used for impairment calculations |
|
|
Fair value of reporting units used for the assessment of goodwill |
|
|
Estimates of future taxable earnings used to assess the realizable value of deferred tax assets |
|
|
Fair value of asset retirement obligations and costs |
|
|
Fair value of derivative instruments |
|
|
Fair value attributed to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations |
|
|
Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate |
|
|
Accruals for long-term performance-based compensation arrangements, including whether or not the performance criteria will be met and measurement of the ultimate payout amount |
|
|
Recognized values of pension assets and obligations, as well as the pension costs charged to net earnings, depend on certain actuarial and economic assumptions |
|
|
Accruals for legal claims, environmental risks and exposures |
56 Encana Corporation | Annual
Report 2014
F) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues associated with Encanas natural gas and liquids are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery
has occurred, title has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. Realized gains and losses from the Companys financial derivatives related to natural gas and oil commodity prices are recognized in revenue when the contract is
settled. Unrealized gains and losses related to these contracts are recognized in revenue based on the changes in fair value of the contracts at the end of the respective periods.
Market optimization revenues and purchased product expenses are recorded on a gross basis when Encana takes title to the product and has the risks and rewards
of ownership. Purchases and sales of products that are entered into in contemplation of each other with the same counterparty are recorded on a net basis. Revenues associated with the services provided where Encana acts as agent are recorded as the
services are provided.
G) PRODUCTION AND MINERAL TAXES
Costs paid by Encana to certain mineral and non-mineral interest owners based on production of natural gas and liquids are recognized when the product is
produced.
H) TRANSPORTATION AND PROCESSING
Costs
paid by Encana for the transportation and processing of natural gas and liquids are recognized when the product is delivered and the services provided.
I) OPERATING
Operating costs paid by Encana for oil and
gas properties in which the Company has a working interest. Expenses are net of amounts capitalized in accordance with the full cost method of accounting.
J) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors defined
contribution and defined benefit plans, providing pension and other post-employment benefits to its employees in Canada and the U.S. As of January 1, 2003, the defined benefit pension plan was closed to new entrants.
Pension expense for the defined contribution pension plan is recorded as the benefits are earned by the employees covered by the plans. Encana accrues for its
obligations under its employee defined benefit plans, net of plan assets. The cost of defined benefit pensions and other post-employment benefits is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method based on length of service and reflects
Managements best estimate of salary escalation, retirement ages of employees and expected future health care costs. The expected return on plan assets is based on historical and projected rates of return for assets in the investment plan
portfolio. The actual return is based on the fair value of plan assets. The projected benefit obligation is discounted using the market interest rate on high-quality corporate debt instruments as at the measurement date.
Pension expense for the defined benefit pension plan includes the cost of pension benefits earned during the current year, the interest cost on pension
obligations, the expected return on pension plan assets, the amortization of the net transitional obligation, the amortization of adjustments arising from pension plan amendments, the amortization of prior service costs, and the amortization of the
excess of the net actuarial gain or loss over 10 percent of the greater of the benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Amortization is on a straight-line basis over a period covering the expected average remaining service lives of
employees covered by the plans. Actuarial gains and losses related to the change in the over-funded or under-funded status of the defined benefit pension plan and other post-employment benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income.
K) INCOME TAXES
Encana follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded for the effect of any temporary
difference between the accounting and income tax basis of an asset or liability, using the enacted income tax rates and laws expected to apply when the assets are realized and liabilities are settled. Current income taxes are measured at the amount
expected to be recoverable from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates and laws enacted at the end of the reporting period. The effect of a change in the enacted tax rates or laws is recognized in net earnings in the
period of enactment. Income taxes are recognized in net earnings except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in shareholders equity, in which case the income taxes are recognized directly in shareholders equity.
Deferred income tax assets are routinely assessed for realizability. If it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized, a
valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets. Encana considers available positive and negative evidence when assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets including historic and expected future taxable earnings, available
tax planning strategies and carry forward periods. The assumptions used in determining expected future taxable earnings are consistent with those used in the goodwill impairment assessment.
Encana recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be
sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. A recognized tax position is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority.
Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to be settled within the next 12 months are included in other liabilities and provisions.
Annual Report 2014
| Encana Corporation 57
L) EARNINGS PER SHARE AMOUNTS
Basic net earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net earnings per common share amounts are calculated giving effect to the potential dilution that would occur if stock options were exercised or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised, fully vested, or converted to common
shares. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money stock options and other dilutive
instruments are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price.
M) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term investments, such as money market deposits or similar type instruments, with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased. Outstanding disbursements issued in excess of applicable bank account balances are excluded from cash and cash equivalents and are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash in reserve represents cash
amounts segregated or held in escrow which are not available for general operating use.
N) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
UPSTREAM
Encana uses the full cost method of accounting for its
acquisition, exploration and development activities. Under this method, all costs directly associated with the acquisition of, the exploration for, and the development of natural gas and liquids reserves are capitalized on a country-by-country cost
centre basis. Capitalized costs exclude costs relating to production, general overhead or similar activities.
Under the full cost method of accounting,
the carrying amount of Encanas natural gas and oil properties within each country cost centre is subject to a ceiling test performed quarterly. A ceiling test impairment is recognized in net earnings when the carrying amount of a country cost
centre exceeds the country cost centre ceiling. The carrying amount of a cost centre includes capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties, net of accumulated depletion and the related deferred income taxes.
The cost centre ceiling is the sum of the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves, using the 12-month average trailing prices and
unescalated future development and production costs, discounted at 10 percent, plus unproved property costs. The 12-month average trailing price is calculated as the average of the price on the first day of each month within the trailing 12-month
period. Any excess of the carrying amount over the calculated ceiling amount is recognized as an impairment in net earnings.
Capitalized costs
accumulated within each cost centre are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Depletion is calculated using the capitalized costs, including estimated retirement costs, plus the undiscounted future expenditures to be
incurred in developing proved reserves.
Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculation until it is determined that
proved reserves are attributable or impairment has occurred. Unproved properties are assessed separately for impairment on a quarterly basis. Costs that have been impaired are included in the costs subject to depletion within the full cost pool.
Proceeds from the divestiture of properties are normally deducted from the full cost pool without recognition of gain or loss unless the deduction
significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves in the cost centre, in which case a gain or loss is recognized in net earnings. Generally, a gain or loss on a divestiture would be recognized when 25 percent or
more of the Companys proved reserves quantities in a particular country are sold. For divestitures that result in the recognition of a gain or loss on the sale and constitute a business, goodwill is allocated to the divestiture.
CORPORATE
Costs associated with office furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements, information technology and aircraft are carried at cost and depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated service lives of the assets, which range from three to 25 years. Costs associated with The Bow office building are carried at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the 60-year estimated life of the
building. Assets under construction are not subject to depreciation until put into use. Land is carried at cost.
O) CAPITALIZATION OF COSTS
Expenditures related to renewals or betterments that improve the productive capacity or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs
are expensed as incurred. Interest is capitalized during the construction phase of major development projects.
58 Encana Corporation | Annual
Report 2014
P) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquired identifiable net assets are measured at their fair value at the date of
acquisition. Deferred taxes are recognized for any differences between the fair value of net assets acquired and their tax bases. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Any
deficiency of the purchase price below the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as a gain in net earnings. Associated transaction costs are expensed when incurred.
Q) GOODWILL
Goodwill, which represents the excess of
purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, is assessed for impairment at least annually at December 31. Goodwill and all other assets and liabilities are allocated to reporting units, which are Encanas country cost centres. To
assess impairment, the carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is higher than its related fair value then goodwill is written down to the
reporting units implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair value of the reporting units assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit as if the reporting
entity had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill is recognized as an impairment and charged to net earnings. Subsequent measurement of goodwill is at cost less
any accumulated impairments.
R) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-TERM ASSETS
The carrying value of long-term assets, excluding goodwill and upstream assets included in property, plant and equipment, are assessed for impairment when
indicators suggest that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or
asset group, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over its estimated fair value.
S) ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
Asset retirement obligations are those legal obligations where the Company will be required to retire tangible long-lived assets such as producing well sites,
offshore production platforms and natural gas processing plants. The fair value of estimated asset retirement obligations is recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet when incurred and a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset
retirement cost, equal to the initially estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation, is capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset. Changes in the estimated obligation resulting from revisions to estimated timing or
amount of future cash flows are recognized as a change in the asset retirement obligation and the related asset retirement cost.
Amortization of asset
retirement costs is included in depreciation, depletion and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Increases in the asset retirement obligations resulting from the passage of time are recorded as accretion of asset retirement
obligation in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
Actual expenditures incurred are charged against the accumulated asset retirement obligation.
T) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Obligations for payments of
cash or common shares under Encanas stock-based compensation plans are accrued over the vesting period, net of forfeitures, using fair values. Fair values are determined using observable share prices and/or pricing models such as the
Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. For equity-settled stock-based compensation plans, fair values are determined at the grant date and are recognized over the vesting period as compensation costs with a corresponding credit to
shareholders equity. For cash-settled stock-based compensation plans, fair values are determined at each reporting date and periodic changes are recognized as compensation costs, with a corresponding change to liabilities.
Obligations for payments for share units of Cenovus Energy Inc. (Cenovus) held by Encana employees were accrued as compensation costs based on the
fair value of the financial liability.
U) LEASES
Leases entered into for the use of an asset are classified as either capital or operating leases. Capital leases transfer to the Company substantially all of
the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item. Capital leases are capitalized upon commencement of the lease term at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Capitalized
leased assets are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset if the lease arrangement contains a bargain purchase option or ownership of the leased asset transfers at the end of the lease term. Otherwise, the leased assets are amortized
over the lease term. Amortization of capitalized leased assets is included in depreciation, depletion and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. All other leases are classified as operating leases and the payments are recognized on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.

V) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques include the market, income, and cost approach. The market approach uses information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities; the income
approach converts estimated future amounts to a present value; the cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace an asset.
Inputs used in determining fair value are characterized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are
observable. The three input levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
|
|
Level 1 Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, such as exchange-traded commodity derivatives. |
|
|
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in
active markets or other market corroborated inputs. |
|
|
Level 3 Inputs that are not observable from objective sources, such as forward prices supported by little or no market activity or internally developed estimates of future cash flows used in a present value
model. |
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes the most observable inputs available. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs at
multiple levels within the hierarchy, the fair value measurement is characterized based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates fair value.
The fair value of long-term debt is disclosed in Note 13. Fair value information related to pension plan assets is included in Note 21. Recurring fair value measurements are performed for risk management assets and liabilities and for share units
issued as part of the Split Transaction, as discussed in Notes 16 and 22.
Certain non-financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair
value, such as asset retirement obligations and assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations or certain non-monetary exchange transactions.
W) RISK MANAGEMENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Risk
management assets and liabilities are derivative financial instruments used by Encana to manage economic exposure to market risks relating to commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these derivative
instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors (Board). The Companys policy is not to utilize derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivative instruments that do not qualify for the normal purchases and sales exemption are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in
net earnings. The fair values recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet reflect netting the asset and liability positions where counterparty master netting arrangements contain provisions for net settlement. Realized gains or losses from financial
derivatives related to natural gas and oil commodity prices are recognized in revenues as the contracts are settled. Realized gains or losses from financial derivatives related to power commodity prices are recognized in transportation and
processing expense as the related power contracts are settled. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in revenues and transportation and processing expense accordingly, at the end of each respective reporting period based on the changes in fair
value of the contracts.
X) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, environmental and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a
liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change.

Y) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
On January 1,
2014, Encana adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which have not had a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements:
|
|
ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date, clarifies guidance for the recognition,
measurement and disclosure of liabilities resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. The amendments have been applied retrospectively. |
|
|
ASU 2013-05, Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,
clarifies the applicable guidance for certain transactions that result in the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. The amendments have been applied prospectively. |
|
|
ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, clarifies that a liability related to an unrecognized
tax benefit or portions thereof should be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, except under specific situations. The amendments have been applied
prospectively. |
NEW STANDARDS ISSUED NOT YET ADOPTED
|
|
As of January 1, 2015, Encana will be required to adopt ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends the criteria and expands the
disclosures for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new criteria, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations would qualify as a discontinued operation. The amendments will be applied prospectively and are not expected to
have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. |
|
|
As of January 1, 2016, Encana will be required to adopt ASU 2014-12, Compensation Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target
Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The standard requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments will be
applied prospectively and are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. |
|
|
As of January 1, 2017, Encana will be required to adopt ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers under Topic 606, which was the result of a joint project by the FASB and International
Accounting Standards Board. The new standard replaces Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and other industry-specific guidance in the Accounting Standards Codification. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized on
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard can be applied using either the full retrospective
approach or a modified retrospective approach at the date of adoption. Encana is currently assessing the potential impact of the standard on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. |
2. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Encanas reportable segments are determined based on the Companys operations and geographic locations as follows:
|
|
Canadian Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and other related activities within the Canadian cost centre. |
|
|
USA Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and other related activities within the U.S. cost centre. |
|
|
Market Optimization is primarily responsible for the sale of the Companys proprietary production. These results are included in the Canadian and USA Operations. Market optimization activities include third
party purchases and sales of product to provide operational flexibility 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 Companys 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.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
ATHLON ENERGY INC. ACQUISITION
On November 13, 2014, Encana completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Athlon Energy Inc.
(Athlon) for $5.93 billion, or $58.50 per share. In addition, Encana assumed Athlons $1.15 billion senior notes and repaid and terminated Athlons credit facility with indebtedness outstanding of $335 million. Encana funded
the acquisition of Athlon with cash on hand. Transaction costs of approximately $31 million are included in other expenses. Following completion of the acquisition, Athlons $1.15 billion senior notes were redeemed in accordance with the
provisions of the governing indentures (See Note 13). Athlons operations focused on the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties located in the Permian Basin in Texas.
The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair
values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation, representing consideration paid and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, is shown in the table below.

(1) |
The purchase price includes cash consideration paid for issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Athlon of $58.50 per share totaling $5.93 billion, as well as payments to terminate certain employment agreements
with Athlons management and payments for certain other existing obligations of Athlon. |
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 other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term
maturity of the instruments. The fair values of the risk management assets and long-term debt, including the revolving credit facility, are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and were determined using quoted prices and rates from
an available pricing source. The fair values of the proved and unproved properties, other property, plant and equipment, other assets, goodwill, and asset retirement obligation are 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.
Goodwill arose primarily from the requirement to recognize deferred taxes on the difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed and the respective carry-over tax basis. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.
The results of operations attributable
to the Athlon acquisition are included in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Earnings beginning November 13, 2014. The assets acquired generated revenues of $176 million and a net loss of $3 million for the period from
November 13, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

EAGLE FORD ACQUISITION
On June 20, 2014, Encana completed the acquisition of approximately 45,500 net acres located in the Eagle Ford shale formation from Freeport-McMoRan
Oil & Gas LLC and PXP Producing Company LLC for approximately $2.9 billion, after closing adjustments. The acquisition included an interest in certain producing properties and undeveloped lands in the Karnes, Wilson and Atascosa counties of
south Texas. Encana funded the acquisition with cash on hand. Transaction costs of approximately $9 million are included in other expenses.
The
transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method. The final purchase price allocation, representing consideration paid and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, is shown in the table
below. Based on the allocation of the consideration paid, no goodwill was recognized.

ACQUISITIONS
For the
year ended December 31, 2014, acquisitions totaled $3,016 million (2013 $184 million; 2012 $379 million), which primarily included the purchase of certain properties in the Eagle Ford shale formation in south Texas as described in
Note 3.
DIVESTITURES
For the year ended
December 31, 2014, amounts received on the sale of assets were $4,345 million (2013 $705 million; 2012 $4,043 million). In 2014, divestitures were $1,847 million in the Canadian Operations and $2,264 million in the USA Operations.
Amounts received from the divestiture transactions have been deducted from the respective Canadian and U.S. full cost pools, except for divestitures that
result in a significant alteration between capitalized costs and proved reserves in the respective country cost centre. For divestitures that result in a gain or loss and constitute a business, goodwill is allocated to the divestiture.
The Canadian Operations and USA Operations divestitures included the following transactions:
CANADIAN OPERATIONS
In 2014, divestitures in the Canadian
Operations primarily included the sale of the Companys Bighorn assets in west central Alberta for approximately $1,725 million. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Encana recognized a gain of approximately $1,014 million, before tax, on
the sale of the Companys Bighorn assets in the Canadian cost centre and allocated goodwill of $257 million.
In 2013, divestitures in the Canadian
Operations included the sale of the Companys Jean Marie natural gas assets in northeast British Columbia and other assets.
In 2012, Encana entered
into a partnership agreement with a Mitsubishi Corporation subsidiary (Mitsubishi) to jointly develop certain lands in northeast British Columbia. Under the agreement, Encana owns 60 percent and Mitsubishi owns 40 percent of the
partnership. Mitsubishi agreed to invest approximately C$2.9 billion for its partnership interest, with C$1.45 billion received in February 2012. Mitsubishi agreed to invest the remaining amount of approximately C$1.45 billion, in addition to its 40
percent of the partnerships future capital investment, based on the expected five year development plan, thereby reducing Encanas capital funding commitment to 30 percent of the total expected capital investment.
In 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with a PetroChina Company Limited subsidiary (PetroChina) to jointly explore and develop certain
liquids rich natural gas Duvernay lands in Alberta. PetroChina agreed to invest approximately C$2.18 billion for a 49.9 percent working interest in the lands. PetroChina invested C$1.18 billion in December 2012 and agreed to further invest
approximately C$1.0 billion, which will be used to fund half of Encanas capital funding commitment over an expected commitment period which expires in 2020.
In 2012, Encana entered into an agreement with a Toyota Tsusho Corporation subsidiary (Toyota Tsusho) under which Toyota Tsusho agreed to invest
approximately C$600 million to acquire a 32.5 percent gross overriding royalty interest in natural gas production from a portion of Encanas Clearwater play. Toyota Tsusho invested C$100 million in April 2012 and agreed to further invest
approximately C$500 million over an expected commitment period of approximately seven years, which runs through to 2019.
In 2012, the Company also closed
the sale of two natural gas processing plants in British Columbia and Alberta for proceeds of approximately C$920 million.
66 Encana Corporation | Annual
Report 2014
USA OPERATIONS
In 2014, divestitures in the USA Operations primarily included the sale of the Jonah properties for proceeds of approximately $1,636 million and the sale of
certain properties in East Texas for proceeds of approximately $495 million. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Encana recognized a gain of approximately $209 million, before tax, on the sale of the Jonah properties in the U.S. cost centre
and allocated goodwill of $68 million.
OTHER CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
The following transactions involve the acquisition or disposition of common shares and, therefore, are excluded from the acquisitions and divestitures table
above.
ACQUISITION OF ATHLON
On November 13, 2014,
Encana acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Athlon for $5.93 billion, or $58.50 per share. See Note 3 for further details regarding the Athlon transaction.
DIVESTITURE OF INVESTMENT IN PRAIRIESKY
On September 26,
2014, Encana completed the secondary offering of 70.2 million common shares of PrairieSky at a price of C$36.50 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$2.6 billion. As the sale of the investment in PrairieSky resulted
in a significant alteration between capitalized costs and proved reserves in the Canadian cost centre, Encana recognized a gain on divestiture of approximately $2.1 billion, before tax.
See Note 18 for further details regarding the PrairieSky transactions.

As at December 31, 2014, approximately $2.6 billion of Encanas unremitted earnings from its foreign subsidiaries
were considered to be permanently reinvested outside of Canada and, accordingly, Encana has not recognized a deferred tax liability for Canadian income taxes in respect of such earnings. If such earnings were to be remitted to Canada, Encana may be
subject to Canadian income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. However, determination of any potential amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liabilities is not practicable.
The following table presents changes in the balance of Encanas unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest:

If recognized, all of Encanas unrecognized tax benefits as at December 31, 2014 would affect Encanas
effective income tax rate. Encana does not anticipate that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change during the next 12 months.
Encana recognizes interest accrued in respect of unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. During 2014, Encana recognized an expense of $1 million (2013
recovery of $6 million; 2012 recovery of $8 million) in interest expense. As at December 31, 2014, Encana had a liability of $2 million (2013 $1 million) for interest accrued in respect of unrecognized tax benefits.
Included below is a summary of the tax years, by jurisdiction, that remain subject to examination by the taxation authorities.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing. In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the Company considers the
age of the outstanding receivable and the credit worthiness of the counterparties. See Note 23 for further information about credit risk.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. |
Canadian Operations and USA Operations property, plant and
equipment include internal costs directly related to exploration, development and construction activities of $306 million which have been capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2014 (2013 $372 million). Included in Corporate and
Other are $65 million (2013 $71 million) of international property costs, which have been fully impaired.
For the year ended December 31,
2014, the Company recognized a ceiling test impairment of nil (2013 nil; 2012 $1,822 million) in the Canadian cost centre and nil (2013 nil; 2012 $2,842 million) in the U.S. cost centre. The impairments in 2012 resulted
primarily from the decline in the 12-month average trailing natural gas prices which reduced proved reserves volumes and values.
The 12-month average
trailing prices used in the ceiling test calculations reflect benchmark prices adjusted for basis differentials to determine local reference prices, transportation costs and tariffs, heat content and quality. The benchmark prices are disclosed in
Note 26.
CAPITAL LEASE ARRANGEMENTS
The
Company has several lease arrangements that are accounted for as capital leases, including an office building, equipment and an offshore production platform.
In December 2013, Encana commenced commercial operations at its Deep Panuke facility located offshore Nova Scotia following successful completion of the
Production Field Centre (PFC) and issuance of the Production Acceptance Notice. As at December 31, 2014, Canadian Operations property, plant and equipment and total assets include the PFC, which is under a capital lease totaling
$520 million (2013 $536 million).
As at December 31, 2014, the total carrying value of assets under capital lease was $547 million (2013
$683 million). Liabilities for the capital lease arrangements are included in other liabilities and provisions in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are disclosed in Note 14.
OTHER ARRANGEMENT
As at December 31, 2014,
Corporate and Other property, plant and equipment and total assets include a carrying value of $1,431 million (2013 $1,587 million) related to The Bow office building, which is under a 25-year lease agreement. The Bow asset is being
depreciated over the 60-year estimated life of the building. At the conclusion of the 25-year term, the remaining asset and corresponding liability are expected to be derecognized as disclosed in Note 14.

During 2014, the Company recognized goodwill of $1,724 million in conjunction with the Athlon acquisition in the United States
as described in Note 3. In Canada, the Company allocated goodwill of $257 million to the Bighorn divestiture and derecognized $39 million upon the divestiture of Encanas investment in PrairieSky as described in Notes 4 and 18. In the United
States, the Company allocated goodwill of $68 million to the Jonah divestiture as described in Note 4.
There were no additions or dispositions of
goodwill during 2013 and the Company has not recognized any previous goodwill impairments. The change in the Canada goodwill balance also reflects the movements due to foreign currency translation.
Goodwill was assessed for impairment as at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The fair values of the Canada and United States reporting units
were determined to be greater than the respective carrying values of the reporting units. Accordingly, no goodwill impairments were recognized.

Annual Report 2014
| Encana Corporation 73
A) REVOLVING CREDIT AND TERM LOAN BORROWINGS
CANADIAN REVOLVING CREDIT AND TERM LOAN BORROWINGS
At
December 31, 2014, Encana had in place a committed revolving bank credit facility for C$3.5 billion ($3.0 billion), of which $1.7 billion remains unused. The facility, which matures in June 2018, is fully revolving up to maturity. The facility
is extendible from time to time, but not more than once per year, for a period not longer than five years plus 90 days from the date of the extension request, at the option of the lenders and upon notice from Encana. The facility is unsecured and
bears interest at the lenders rates for Canadian prime, U.S. base rate, Bankers Acceptances or LIBOR, plus applicable margins.
During 2014,
the Company borrowed on its revolving credit facilities. Borrowings include LIBOR loans of $1,277 million maturing at various dates with a weighted average interest rate of 1.62 percent. These amounts are fully supported and Management expects that
they will continue to be supported by revolving credit facilities that have no repayment requirements within the next year and which expire in 2018. There were no outstanding balances related to the Companys commercial paper or revolving
credit facilities as at December 31, 2013.
U.S. REVOLVING CREDIT AND TERM LOAN BORROWINGS
At December 31, 2014, one of Encanas subsidiaries had in place a committed revolving bank credit facility for $1.0 billion, all of which remained
unused. The facility, which matures in June 2018, is guaranteed by Encana Corporation and is fully revolving up to maturity. The facility is extendible from time to time, but not more than once per year, for a period not longer than five years plus
90 days from the date of the extension request, at the option of the lenders and upon notice from the subsidiary. This facility bears interest at either the lenders U.S. base rate or LIBOR, plus applicable margins.
Standby fees paid in 2014 relating to Canadian and U.S. revolving credit and term loan agreements were approximately $12 million (2013 $14 million;
2012 $15 million).
Encana is subject to certain financial covenants in its credit facility agreements and is in compliance with all financial
covenants as at December 31, 2014.
B) UNSECURED NOTES
SHELF PROSPECTUS
Encana has in place a shelf prospectus, whereby
the Company may issue from time to time up to $6.0 billion, or the equivalent in foreign currencies, of debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, subscription receipts, warrants and units in Canada and/or the U.S. The shelf prospectus was
filed in June 2014 and expires in July 2016. At December 31, 2014, the $6.0 billion shelf prospectus remained accessible, the availability of which is dependent upon market conditions. This shelf prospectus replaced a $4.0 billion debt shelf
prospectus for U.S. unsecured notes which expired in June 2014.
Unsecured notes include medium-term notes and senior notes that are issued from time to
time under trust indentures and have equal priority with respect to the payment of both principal and interest.
U.S. UNSECURED NOTES
On February 28, 2014, Encana announced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of the Companys outstanding $1,000 million 5.80
percent notes with a maturity date of May 1, 2014. The Company paid $1,004.59 for each $1,000 principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the settlement date and a consent payment equal to $2.50 per
$1,000 principal amount of the notes.
On March 28, 2014, the tender offer and consent solicitation expired and on March 31, 2014, Encana paid
the consenting note holders an aggregate of approximately $792 million in cash reflecting a $768 million principal debt repayment, $2 million for the consent payment and $22 million of accrued and unpaid interest.
On April 28, 2014, pursuant to the Notice of Redemption issued on March 28, 2014, the Company redeemed the remaining principal amount of the 5.80
percent notes not tendered in the tender offer. Encana paid approximately $239 million in cash reflecting a $232 million principal debt repayment and $7 million of accrued and unpaid interest.
On December 16, 2014, Encana completed the redemption of the $500 million 7.375 percent senior notes due April 15, 2021 and the $650 million 6.00
percent senior notes due May 1, 2022, which were assumed by Encana in conjunction with the Athlon acquisition as discussed in Note 3. The Company recognized a one-time outlay of approximately $125 million as a result of the early redemption.
Encana used proceeds from the Companys revolving credit facility of $1,277 million to redeem the senior notes.
C) INCREASE IN VALUE OF DEBT
ACQUIRED
Certain of the notes and debentures of the Company were acquired in business combinations and were accounted for at their fair value at the
dates of acquisition. The difference between the fair value and the principal amount of the debt is being amortized over the remaining life of the outstanding debt acquired, which is approximately 16 years.
In conjunction with the Athlon acquisition, the Company recorded an increase in the fair value of the debt acquired of approximately $12 million, which was
expensed upon redemption of the senior notes and is included in other expenses in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
74 Encana Corporation | Annual
Report 2014
D) DEBT DISCOUNTS
Long-term debt premiums and discounts are capitalized within long-term debt and are being amortized using the effective interest method. During 2014 and 2013,
no debt discounts were capitalized.

The amount due in 2015 excludes LIBOR loans, which are fully supported by revolving credit facilities that have no repayment
requirements within the next year. The revolving credit facilities are fully revolving for a period of up to five years. Based on the current maturity dates of the credit facilities, the payments are included in 2018.
Long-term debt is accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest method of amortization. As at December 31, 2014, total long-term debt had
a carrying value of $7,340 million and a fair value of $7,788 million (2013 carrying value of $7,124 million and a fair value of $7,805 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, or by discounting future payments of interest and principal at interest rates expected to be available to the Company at period end.

CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
As described in Note 9, the Company has several lease arrangements that are accounted for as capital leases, including an office building, equipment and an
offshore production platform.
The PFC commenced commercial operations in December 2013. Accordingly, Encana derecognized the asset under construction and
related liability and recorded the PFC as a capital lease asset with a corresponding capital lease obligation. Under the lease contract, Encana has a purchase option and the option to extend the lease for 12 one-year terms at fixed prices after the
initial lease term expires in 2021. As a result, the lease contract qualifies as a variable interest and the related leasing entity qualifies as a variable interest entity (VIE). Encana is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE as the
Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. Encana is not required to provide any financial support or guarantees to the lease entity and its affiliates, other than the
contractual payments under the lease and operating contracts.
The total expected future lease payments related to the Companys capital lease
obligations are outlined below.

Annual Report 2014
| Encana Corporation 77
ENCANA STOCK OPTION PLAN
Encana has share-based compensation plans that allow employees to purchase common shares of the Company. Option exercise prices are not less than the market
value of the common shares on the date the options are granted. Options granted are exercisable at 30 percent of the number granted after one year, an additional 30 percent of the number granted after two years, are fully exercisable after three
years and expire five years after the date granted.
All options outstanding as at December 31, 2014 have associated Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights
(TSARs) attached. In lieu of exercising the option, the associated TSARs give the option holder the right to receive a cash payment equal to the excess of the market price of Encanas common shares at the time of the exercise over
the original grant price. In addition, certain stock options granted are performance-based. The Performance TSARs vest and expire under the same terms and conditions as the underlying option. Vesting is also subject to Encana attaining prescribed
performance relative to predetermined key measures. Historically, most holders of options with TSARs have elected to exercise their stock options as a Stock Appreciation Right (SAR) in exchange for a cash payment. As a result, Encana
does not consider outstanding TSARs to be potentially dilutive securities. See Note 20 for further information on Encanas outstanding and exercisable TSARs and Performance TSARs.
At December 31, 2014, there were 27.3 million common shares reserved for issuance under stock option plans (2013 19.1 million; 2012
18.8 million).
ENCANA RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS (RSUs)
Encana has a share-based compensation plan whereby eligible employees are granted RSUs. An RSU is a conditional grant to receive an Encana common share, or the
cash equivalent, as determined by Encana, upon vesting of the RSUs and in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and Grant Agreement. The value of one RSU is notionally equivalent to one Encana common share. RSUs vest three years from the date
granted, provided the employee remains actively employed with Encana on the vesting date. The Company intends to settle vested RSUs in cash on the vesting date. As a result, Encana does not consider RSUs to be potentially dilutive securities. See
Note 20 for further information on Encanas outstanding RSUs.
ENCANA SHARE UNITS PREVIOUSLY HELD BY CENOVUS EMPLOYEES
On November 30, 2009, Encana completed a corporate reorganization to split into two independent publicly traded energy companies Encana Corporation
and Cenovus Energy Inc. (the Split Transaction). In conjunction with the Split Transaction, each holder of Encana share units disposed of their right in exchange for the grant of new Encana share units and Cenovus share units. Share
units included TSARs, Performance TSARs, SARs and Performance SARs. The terms and conditions of the share units were similar to the terms and conditions of the original share units. There was no impact on Encanas net earnings for the share
units held by Cenovus employees. As at December 31, 2014, all remaining share units held by Cenovus employees have expired.

Report 2014
18. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON SHARES OF
PRAIRIESKY
On May 22, 2014, PrairieSky filed a final prospectus to qualify the distribution of 52.0 million common shares (the
IPO), to be sold by Encana pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement dated May 22, 2014, at a price of C$28.00 per common share (the Offering Price).
On May 27, 2014, prior to closing the IPO, PrairieSky acquired from Encana a royalty business in exchange for common shares of PrairieSky pursuant to the
Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 22, 2014 between PrairieSky and Encana (the Agreement). The royalty business assets acquired by PrairieSky comprise: (i) fee simple mineral title in lands prospective for petroleum, natural
gas and certain other mines and minerals located predominantly in central and southern Alberta (the Fee Lands); (ii) lessor interests in and to leases that are currently issued in respect of certain Fee Lands; (iii) royalty
interests, including overriding royalty interests, gross overriding royalty interests and production payments on lands located predominantly in Alberta; (iv) an irrevocable, perpetual licence to certain proprietary seismic data of Encana (the
Seismic Licence); and (v) certain other related assets as set forth in the Agreement.
As part of the Agreement, PrairieSky and Encana
entered into: (i) a Seismic Licence Agreement whereby Encana granted the Seismic Licence to PrairieSky; and (ii) Lease Issuance and Administration Agreements whereby PrairieSky issued leases to document Encanas retention of its
working interest in respect of certain Fee Lands and pursuant to which PrairieSky receives royalties from Encana.
On May 29, 2014, Encana completed
the IPO of 52.0 million common shares of PrairieSky at the Offering Price for gross proceeds of approximately C$1.46 billion. On June 3, 2014, the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters to purchase up to an additional
7.8 million common shares was exercised in full for gross proceeds of approximately C$218.4 million. Encana received aggregate gross proceeds from the IPO of approximately C$1.67 billion ($1.54 billion). Subsequent to the IPO, Encana owned
70.2 million common shares of PrairieSky, representing a 54 percent ownership interest.
The noncontrolling interest in the former consolidated
subsidiary, PrairieSky, was reflected as a separate component of Total Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Encana recorded $117 million of the proceeds from the IPO as a noncontrolling interest and the remainder of the proceeds of $1,427
million, less transaction costs of $82 million, was recognized as paid in surplus.
SECONDARY PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON SHARES OF PRAIRIESKY
On September 8, 2014, Encana and PrairieSky announced the secondary offering of 70.2 million common shares of PrairieSky at a price of C$36.50 per
common share, for aggregate gross proceeds to Encana of approximately C$2.6 billion. Following the completion of the secondary offering on September 26, 2014, Encana no longer holds an interest in PrairieSky. As discussed in Note 4, the
PrairieSky divestiture resulted in a significant alteration between capitalized costs and proved reserves in the Canadian cost centre. Accordingly, Encana recognized a gain on the divestiture of approximately $2,094 million, which is included in
(gain) loss on divestitures in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Earnings. In conjunction with the divestiture, Encana derecognized the carrying amount of the net assets of $258 million, including goodwill of $39 million, and the
noncontrolling interest of $133 million.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST OWNERS
During the period from May 29, 2014 to September 25, 2014, PrairieSky paid dividends of C$0.3174 per common share totaling $38 million, of which $18
million is attributable to the noncontrolling interest as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
NET EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
During the period from May 29, 2014 to September 25, 2014, the Company held a controlling interest in PrairieSky. Accordingly, Encana consolidated
100 percent of the financial position and results of operations of PrairieSky and recognized a noncontrolling interest for the third party ownership. For the year ended December 31, 2014, net earnings and comprehensive income of $34 million
were attributable to the noncontrolling interest as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
19. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
In November 2013, Encana announced its plans to align the organizational structure in support of the Companys strategy. For the year ended
December 31, 2014, Encana has incurred restructuring charges totaling $36 million relating primarily to severance costs, which are included in administrative expense in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Earnings (2013 $88
million). Of the $124 million in restructuring charges incurred to date, $4 million remains accrued as at December 31, 2014 (2013 $65 million). Total restructuring charges are expected to be approximately $133 million before tax. The
remaining restructuring charges of approximately $9 million are anticipated to be incurred in 2015.
Annual Report 2014
| Encana Corporation 79
20. COMPENSATION PLANS
Encana has a number of compensation arrangements under
which the Company awards various types of long-term incentive grants to eligible employees. They include TSARs, Performance TSARs, SARs, Performance SARs, Performance Share Units (PSUs), Deferred Share Units (DSUs), RSUs and
a Restricted Cash Plan. The majority of these compensation arrangements are share-based.
Encana accounts for TSARs, Performance TSARs, SARs, Performance
SARs, PSUs, and RSUs held by Encana employees as cash-settled share-based payment transactions and, accordingly, accrues compensation costs over the vesting period based on the fair value of the rights determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton and
other fair value models. TSARs, Performance TSARs, SARs and Performance SARs granted vest and are exercisable at 30 percent of the number granted after one year, an additional 30 percent of the number granted after two years, are fully exercisable
after three years (with the exception of Performance TSARs granted in 2013) and expire five years after the date granted. PSUs and RSUs vest three years from the date of grant, provided the employee remains actively employed with Encana on the
vesting date.
The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the share units held by Encana employees:

E) PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
Since 2010, PSUs have been granted to eligible employees, which entitle the employee to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to the value of one common
share of Encana for each PSU held, depending upon the terms of the PSU Plan. PSUs vest three years from the date of grant, provided the employee remains actively employed with Encana on the vesting date.
The ultimate value of the PSUs will depend upon Encanas performance relative to predetermined corresponding performance targets measured over a
three-year period. For grants during 2010 through 2012, performance is measured relative to an internal recycle ratio as assessed by the Board on an annual basis to determine whether the performance criteria have been met. Based on this assessment,
up to a maximum of two times the original PSU grant may be eligible to vest in respect of the year being measured. The respective proportion of the original PSU grant deemed eligible to vest for each year will be valued and the notional cash value
deposited to a PSU account, with payout deferred to the final vesting date. For grants made in 2013, performance is measured over a three-year period relative to a specified performance peer group.

DEFERRED SHARE UNITS

equivalent in value to a common share of the Company and are settled in cash.
Under the DSU Plan, employees have the option to convert either 25 or 50
percent of their annual High Performance Results (HPR) award into DSUs. The number of DSUs converted is based on the value of the award divided by the closing value of Encanas share price at the end of the performance period of the
HPR award.
For both Directors and employees, DSUs can only be redeemed following departure from Encana in accordance with the terms of the respective DSU
Plan and must be redeemed prior to December 15th of the year following the departure from Encana.

The Companys pension plan assets were invested in the following as at December 31, 2014: 26 percent Domestic Equity
(2013 39 percent), 24 percent Foreign Equity (2013 29 percent), 44 percent Bonds (2013 26 percent), and 6 percent Real Estate and Other (2013 6 percent). The expected long-term rate of return is 6.50 percent. The expected
rate of return on pension plan assets is based on historical and projected rates of return for each asset class in the plan investment portfolio. The actual return on plan assets was $26 million (2013 $40 million). The asset
allocation structure is subject to diversification requirements and constraints, which reduce risk by limiting exposure to individual equity investment, credit rating categories and foreign currency exposure.

22. 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 except for the amounts associated with share units issued as part of the Split
Transaction, as disclosed below. The fair value of cash in reserve approximates its carrying amount due to the nature of the instrument held. Fair value information related to pension plan assets is included in Note 21.
Recurring fair value measurements are performed for risk management assets and liabilities and for share units resulting from the Split Transaction, which are
discussed further in Notes 23 and 20, respectively. These items are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are classified within the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in the following tables. There have been no transfers
between the hierarchy levels during the period.

The
Companys Level 1 and Level 2 risk management assets and liabilities consist of commodity fixed price contracts and basis swaps with terms to 2018. The fair values of these contracts are based on a market approach and are estimated using inputs
which are either directly or indirectly observable at the reporting date, such as exchange and other published prices, broker quotes and observable trading activity.
92 Encana Corporation | Annual
Report 2014
LEVEL 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As at December 31, 2014, the Companys Level 3 risk management assets and liabilities consist of power purchase contracts with terms to 2017. The
fair values of the power purchase contracts are based on the income approach and are modelled internally using observable and unobservable inputs such as forward power prices in less active markets. The unobservable inputs are obtained from third
parties whenever possible and reviewed by the Company for reasonableness.
Changes in amounts related to risk management assets and liabilities are
recognized in revenues and transportation and processing expense according to their purpose. Changes in amounts related to share units resulting from the Split Transaction are recognized in operating expense, administrative expense and capitalized
within property, plant and equipment as described in Note 20.
A summary of changes in Level 3 fair value measurements during 2014 and 2013 is presented

A 10 percent increase or decrease in estimated forward power prices would cause a corresponding $5 million (2013 $7
million) increase or decrease to net risk management assets and liabilities. As at December 31, 2014, all share units resulting from the Split Transaction have expired. As at December 31, 2013, a five percentage point increase or decrease
in Cenovus share unit estimated volatility would cause no increase or decrease to accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

C) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Company is exposed to financial risks including market risks (such as commodity prices, foreign exchange and interest rates), credit risk and liquidity
risk. Future cash flows may fluctuate due to movement in market prices and the exposure to credit and liquidity risks.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
Commodity price risk arises from the effect fluctuations in future commodity prices may have on future cash flows. 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. The Companys policy is to not use
derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Natural Gas To partially mitigate natural gas commodity price risk, the Company uses
contracts such as NYMEX-based swaps and options. Encana also enters into basis swaps to manage against widening price differentials between various production areas and various sales points.
Crude Oil To partially mitigate against crude oil commodity price risk including widening price differentials between North American and world prices,
the Company has entered into fixed price contracts and basis swaps.
Power The Company has entered into Canadian dollar denominated derivative
contracts to manage its electricity consumption costs.
The table below summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Companys 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 at December 31 as follows:

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. This credit risk exposure is mitigated through the use of Board-approved credit policies
governing the Companys credit portfolio including credit practices that limit transactions according to counterparties credit quality. Mitigation strategies may include master netting arrangements, requesting collateral 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. As at December 31, 2014, the Company
had no significant collateral balances posted or received and there were no credit derivatives in place.
As at December 31, 2014, cash equivalents
include high-grade, short-term securities, placed primarily with financial institutions and companies with strong investment grade ratings. Any foreign currency agreements entered into are with major financial institutions in Canada and the U.S. or
with counterparties having investment grade credit ratings.
A substantial portion of the Companys accounts receivable are with customers in the oil
and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. As at December 31, 2014, approximately 94 percent (2013 87 percent) of Encanas accounts receivable and financial derivative credit exposures were with investment
grade counterparties.
As at December 31, 2014, Encana had three counterparties (2013 four counterparties) whose net settlement position
individually accounted for more than 10 percent of the fair value of the outstanding in-the-money net risk management contracts by counterparty. As at December 31, 2014, these counterparties accounted for 16 percent, 16 percent and 15 percent
(2013 24 percent, 14 percent, 14 percent and 13 percent) of the fair value of the outstanding in-the-money net risk management contracts.
96 Encana Corporation | Annual
Report 2014
LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk arises from the potential that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting a demand to fund its financial liabilities as they come due.
The Company manages liquidity risk using cash and debt management programs.
The Company has access to cash equivalents and a range of funding
alternatives at competitive rates through committed revolving bank credit facilities and debt and equity capital markets. As at December 31, 2014, the Company had committed revolving bank credit facilities totaling $4.0 billion which include
C$3.5 billion ($3.0 billion) on a revolving bank credit facility for Encana and $1.0 billion on a revolving bank credit facility for a U.S. subsidiary, the latter of which remains unused. The facilities remain committed through June 2018. Of the
C$3.5 billion ($3.0 billion) revolving bank credit facility, $1.7 billion remained unused and $1.3 billion was drawn to redeem the senior notes assumed by Encana in conjunction with the Athlon acquisition as discussed in Note 13.
Encana also has accessible capacity under a shelf prospectus for up to $6.0 billion, or the equivalent in foreign currencies, the availability of which is
dependent on market conditions, to issue up to $6.0 billion of debt and/or equity securities in Canada and/or the U.S. The shelf prospectus expires in July 2016.
The Company believes it has sufficient funding through the use of these facilities to meet foreseeable borrowing requirements.
The Company minimizes its liquidity risk by managing its capital structure. The Companys capital structure consists of shareholders equity plus
long-term debt, including the current portion. The Companys objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility to preserve Encanas access to capital markets and its ability to meet financial obligations
and to finance internally generated growth as well as potential acquisitions. To manage the capital structure, the Company may adjust capital spending, adjust dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, issue new debt or repay existing debt.
The timing of expected cash outflows relating to financial liabilities is outlined in the table below:

Included in Encanas long-term debt obligations of $12,921 million at
December 31, 2014 are $1,277 million in principal obligations related to LIBOR loans drawn on the credit facility. These amounts are fully supported and Management expects that they will continue to be supported by revolving credit facilities
that have no repayment requirements within the next year. The revolving credit facilities are fully revolving for a period of up to five years. Based on the current maturity dates of the credit facilities, these amounts are included in cash outflows
for the period disclosed as 4 5 Years. Further information on Long-Term Debt is contained in Note 13.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Companys financial assets
or liabilities. As Encana operates primarily in North America, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars can have a significant effect on the Companys reported results. Encanas financial results are
consolidated in Canadian dollars; however, the Company reports its results in U.S. dollars as most of its revenue is closely tied to the U.S. dollar and to facilitate a more direct comparison to other North American oil and gas companies. As the
effects of foreign exchange fluctuations are embedded in the Companys results, the total effect of foreign exchange fluctuations is not separately identifiable.
To mitigate the exposure to the fluctuating U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate, Encana maintains a mix of both U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar debt and may
also enter into foreign exchange derivatives. As at December 31, 2014, Encana had $6.7 billion in U.S. dollar debt issued from Canada that was subject to foreign exchange exposure (2013 $5.4 billion) and $0.6 billion in debt that was not
subject to foreign exchange exposure (2013 $1.7 billion). There were no foreign exchange derivatives outstanding as at December 31, 2014.
Encanas foreign exchange (gain) loss primarily includes unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation of U.S. dollar denominated debt
issued from Canada, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation of U.S. dollar denominated risk management assets and liabilities held in Canada and foreign exchange gains and losses on U.S. dollar denominated cash and short-term
investments held in Canada. A $0.01 change in the U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate would have resulted in a $61 million change in foreign exchange (gain) loss as at December 31, 2014 (2013 $48 million; 2012 $51 million).
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 Companys 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. There were no interest rate derivatives outstanding as at December 31, 2014.
As at December 31, 2014, the Company had floating rate debt of $1,277 million. Accordingly, the sensitivity in net earnings for each one percent change
in interest rates on floating rate debt was $10 million (2013 nil; 2012 nil).

CONTINGENCIES
Encana is
involved in various legal claims and actions arising in the course of the Companys 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 Encanas financial position, cash flows or results of operations. If an unfavourable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Companys consolidated net earnings or loss in the period in
which the outcome is determined. Accruals for litigation and claims are recognized if the Company determines that the loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has made adequate provision for such legal
claims.
26. SUPPLEMENTARY OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH
FLOWS AND CHANGES THEREIN
In calculating the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, constant price and cost assumptions were
applied to Encanas annual future production from proved reserves to determine cash inflows. Future production and development costs assume the continuation of existing economic, operating and regulatory conditions. Future income taxes are
calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to future pre-tax cash flows after provision for the tax cost of the oil and natural gas properties based upon existing laws and regulations. The discount was computed by application of a 10 percent
discount factor to the future net cash flows. The calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is based upon the discounted future net cash flows prepared by Encanas independent qualified reserves evaluators in
relation to the reserves they respectively evaluated, and adjusted to the extent provided by contractual arrangements, such as price risk management activities, in existence at year end and to account for asset retirement obligations and future
income taxes.
Encana cautions that the discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves are an indication of neither the fair
market value of Encanas oil and gas properties, nor the future net cash flows expected to be generated from such properties. The discounted future net cash flows do not include the fair market value of exploratory properties and probable or
possible oil and gas reserves, nor is consideration given to the effect of anticipated future changes in oil and natural gas prices, development, asset retirement and production costs, and possible changes to tax and royalty regulations. The
prescribed discount rate of 10 percent may not appropriately reflect future interest rates.

Notes:
|
a. |
Net reserves are the remaining reserves of Encana, after deduction of estimated royalties and including royalty interests. |
|
b. |
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given
date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. |
|
c. |
Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required
equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well. |
|
d. |
Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required
for recompletion. |
(2) |
Encana does not file any estimates of total net proved natural gas, oil and NGLs reserves with any U.S. federal authority or agency other than the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
(3) |
In 2012, revisions and improved recovery of natural gas included a reduction of 4,589 Bcf due to significantly lower 12-month average trailing natural gas prices, partially offset by additions of 1,391 Bcf for technical
revisions and improved recovery. |
(4) |
In 2013, revisions and improved recovery of natural gas included a reduction of 2,872 Bcf due to lower proved undeveloped reserves bookings, partially offset by additions of 2,233 Bcf due to significantly higher
12-month average trailing natural gas prices and minor positive revisions. |
(5) |
In 2014, revisions and improved recovery of natural gas included a reduction of 520 Bcf due to changes in the proved undeveloped reserves bookings in the U.S. |

Ultimate recoverability of these costs and the timing of inclusion within the applicable country cost centres depletable
base is dependent upon either the finding of proved natural gas and liquids reserves, expiration of leases or recognition of impairments. Acquisition costs primarily include costs incurred to acquire or lease properties. Exploration costs primarily
include costs related to geological and geophysical studies and costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells.

Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash from operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, net change in non-cash working capital and cash tax on sale of assets. |
(2) |
Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP measure defined as net earnings attributable to common shareholders excluding non-recurring or non-cash items that Management believes reduces the comparability of the Companys
financial performance between periods. These after-tax items may include, but are not limited to, unrealized hedging gains/losses, impairments, restructuring charges, non-operating foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on divestitures, income
taxes related to divestitures and adjustments to normalize the effect of income taxes calculated using the estimated annual effective income tax rate. |

Net earnings attributable to common shareholders, operating earnings and cash flow per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of Encana common shares outstanding as follows: |
