REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the US Benefit Plans Administration Committee of the
Encana
(USA) Retirement Plan
Denver, Colorado
We have audited the
accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Encana (USA) Retirement Plan, formerly known as the Encana (USA) 401(k) Plan (the Plan), as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits 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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Encana (USA)
Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2014 has been subjected to audit procedures
performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plans financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements, but is supplemental information
required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plans management. Our audit
procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information
presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the
Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

ENCANA (USA) RETIREMENT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Description of the Plan and Significant Accounting Policies
The following description of the Encana (USA) Retirement Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants and all others should
refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
A) General
The Plan is a defined-contribution plan established on September 1, 1999, under which employer contributions are
based on a fixed formula that is not related to profits and that is designated as a pension plan by the Plan Sponsor. Effective January 1, 2014, the Plan Sponsor is Encana Services Company Ltd. (the Company). Prior to the effective
date, Alenco Inc. was the Plan Sponsor. All employees of Encana Services Company Ltd. (U.S. Branch) and Encana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. are eligible to participate in the Plan. Eligibility to participate begins with the first day of the month
coincident with or following employment. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The Plan was amended and restated as of March 14, 2014. Amendments to the Plan include immediate participant eligibility, automatic enrollment at 5% of
participant compensation, the option for a participant to contribute using a percentage or flat dollar election and the option for a participant to elect dividend in cash or additional shares.
The Board of Directors of the Company administers the Plan. Effective March 14, 2014, Principal Financial Group (Principal) serves as
trustee, manages Plan assets and maintains the Plans records. Principal offers Plan participants a variety of investment options. Individual accounts are invested in the various investment options at the direction of the participants. Prior to
the effective date, Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company served as the trustee.
On March 14, 2014, the Encana (USA) Money Purchase
Plan merged into the Plan. An aggregate $87,881,082 was transferred and is included in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.
B) Contributions
Participants may make before-tax and after-tax contributions up to 30% of their annual compensation, not to exceed limits by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which are adjusted annually by the Secretary of Treasury for
inflation. This maximum percentage may be reduced by the Plan administrator in certain circumstances. The Plan also permits rollover contributions from other qualified retirement plans. Employee contributions to the Plan are made through regular
payroll deductions, catch-up contributions, and roth contributions, which are after-tax contributions tracked in a separate account but subject to the same limitations
set forth under the Plan.
The Company will make a safe harbor matching contribution of 100% of elective deferrals up to 5% of compensation, which is
invested in Encana Corporation common stock. In addition, the Company will make a contribution of 8% of compensation, invested at the direction of the participants.
C) Participants Accounts
Each participants
account is credited with the participants contribution and an allocation of the Companys contribution, Plan earnings or losses, forfeitures, and an allocation of Plan expenses. Allocations are based upon Plan earnings or losses and
account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the vested portion of the participants account.
5
ENCANA (USA) RETIREMENT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
D) Vesting
Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings or losses thereon. Participants also have full and immediate vesting in the
Companys 5% safe harbor matching contribution portion of their accounts. Participants are vested in the Companys 8% contribution after three years of service.
E) Participant Loans Receivable
Participants may borrow
from their account a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear an interest rate of 4.25%, equal to one percent
over the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month in which the loan is requested. The loans mature at various dates through 2029. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions.
Participant loans are recorded in the financial statements at amortized cost plus accrued interest.
F) Payments of Benefits
Upon termination of service, death, disability, or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum
amount equal to the value of the participants vested account balance or annual installments over a life annuity. For termination of service for other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested account balance as a lump-sum distribution. Accounts with balances less than $1,000 may be immediately distributed upon a distribution event. Benefits are recorded as distributions to participants when paid.
G) Participant Termination and Forfeitures
Forfeitures
occur when a participant terminates employment prior to satisfying the service years required to become vested in the 8% contribution made by the Company. In addition, forfeitures may occur when participants contribute above the annual maximum
contribution amount; thus, the amount gets repaid to the participant, causing a forfeiture of those additional contributed funds. Forfeitures can be used to pay Plan expenses or reduce employer contributions. For the year ended December 31,
2014, there were no forfeitures used to reduce employer contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, forfeiture balances were $76,069 and $3,301, respectively.
H) Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition
Investments are recorded at fair value as reported to the Plan by the trustee. Fair value is 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. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.
Common collective trust fund investments invest in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts and are stated at fair value and then are adjusted to
contract value. These investments are included at fair value in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and there is an additional line item showing an adjustment from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits is presented on a contract value basis.
6
ENCANA (USA) RETIREMENT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
The net realized and unrealized investments gain or loss (net appreciation or depreciation in fair value of
investments) is reflected in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for benefits and is determined as the difference between fair value at the beginning of the year (or date purchased if during the year) and selling price (if
sold during the year) or year-end fair value. Purchase and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
Dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date.
I) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan
administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
J) Risk and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various
investments that, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is reasonably possible that changes in the value of
investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
Additionally, some investments held by Principal are invested in the securities of foreign companies, which involve certain risks and considerations not
typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include devaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, and possible adverse political and
economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies.

3. Fair Value Measurements
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure about how fair value is determined and establish a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
|
Level 1: |
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
Level 2: |
Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially
the full term of the financial instrument. |
|
Level 3: |
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
A
financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the investments measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies
used at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Mutual funds:
Mutual funds are valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. All of the mutual funds are funds with quoted daily net asset values that are
directly observable in the marketplace by market participants. These investments are classified as Level 1 investments.
Common collective trust funds:
The Principal Trust Income and Target Funds are held in common collective trust funds, which consist of investments in mutual funds, collective trusts
and pooled separate accounts (PSAs). These investments are valued at their net asset values (NAV) per share as of the close of business on the valuation date. The NAV is quoted on a private market that is not active; however,
the unit price is based on the value of the underlying investment assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The Principal Trust Income Fund seeks current income and, as a secondary
objective, capital appreciation. The Principal Trust Target Funds seek total return consisting of long-term growth of capital and current income, consistent with the investment strategy of an investor who expects to retire in a specific year.
The stable value fund, held in a common collective trust fund, invests in conventional and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) issued
by life insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions with excess cash invested in cash equivalents. The objective of the stable value fund is to provide preservation of capital and relatively stable returns regardless of the
volatility of the financial markets. The stable value fund is recorded in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. Fair value represents quoted market prices for synthetic GICs, while the fair value of conventional GICs is determined
using a discounted cash flow methodology where the individual contract cash flows are discounted at the prevailing interpolated yield curve rate as of December 31, 2014.
9
ENCANA (USA) RETIREMENT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
These investments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as they are not publicly quoted
and due to the ability to redeem the investments at their NAVs as of the measurement date.
Common stock:
Investments in common stock are valued at its closing price reported on the active market on which the securities are traded on the last business day of the
year. These investments are classified as Level 1 investments.
There were no transfers of Plan investments between Levels 1 and 2 during 2014 or 2013.
The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plans investment assets at fair value as of December 31, 2014
and 2013.

4. Income Taxes
The Plan obtained a favorable opinion letter, dated June 23, 2014, from the IRS as to the qualified status of the Plan. The Plan administrator believes
that the Plan continues to be operated and administered in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provisions for income tax have been included in the Plan financial statements.
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a
tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that, as of
December 31, 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however,
there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
5. Administration of the Plan
The Company provides, at no cost to the Plan, certain administrative, accounting, and legal services to the Plan and also pays the cost of certain outside
services for the Plan.

Notes to Financial Statements
6. Partial Termination
As a result of a reduction of the Plan Sponsors workforce in 2014 and 2013, the Plan experienced a partial plan termination as defined by ERISA. Under
ERISA, a partial plan termination may occur if a significant percentage of the Plan participants are terminated because of an action taken by the Plan Sponsor. If a partial plan termination occurs, full vesting is required for the terminated
participants, but the remaining participants vesting continues to be determined according to the plan provisions.
All terminated employees who were
participants in the Plan were fully vested in their account balances at the date of the partial plan termination.
7. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. If the
Plan is terminated for any reason, all participants become 100% vested and the Plan administrator is to distribute each participants interest to the participant or their beneficiary.
8. Party-in-Interest
Certain Plan investments are shares of Encana Corporations common stock. As the Company is the sponsoring entity of the Plan, these transactions qualify
as party-in-interest transactions.
9. Reconciliation to Form 5500
The following is a reconciliation of the net assets available for benefits per the Financial Statements to the Form 5500:

ENCANA (USA) RETIREMENT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
The accompanying Financial Statements present fully benefit-responsive contracts at contract value. The Form
5500 requires fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to be reported at fair value. Therefore, the adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts represents a reconciling item.
10. Subsequent Events
In connection with the
preparation of the Financial Statements, the Plan administrator has evaluated subsequent events after December 31, 2014 through the date the financial statements were issued and concluded that no additional disclosures were required.
