2024 Full-Year Achievements & Results
- Achieved multiple
strategic milestones throughout the year, in addition to delivering
returns to shareholders:
- Signed definitive
agreements in the Llanos Foothills to consolidate Parex's position,
advancing gas and exploration strategies;
- Implemented
waterflood at Cabrestero successfully and continued waterflood
progression at LLA-34;
- Completed polymer
injection pilot at Cabrestero with positive results, advancing
enhanced oil recovery initiatives;
- Executed Putumayo
business collaboration agreements to add a new core area for the
Company; and
- Returned $186
million to shareholders during the year, which cumulatively results
in C$1.5 billion returned to shareholders through dividends and
share repurchases over the past five years.
- Average production
of 49,924(6) boe/d, meeting revised FY 2024 guidance range of
49,000 to 50,000 boe/d.
- Realized net income of $61 million or $0.60 per share
basic(7).
- Generated funds flow provided by
operations ("FFO") of $622 million(1) and FFO per share of
$6.14(3)(7).
- Produced an operating netback of
$41.30/boe(3) and an FFO netback of $33.95/boe(3) from an average
Brent price of $79.86/bbl.
- Incurred $348 million(2) of capital
expenditures, primarily from activities at LLA-34, Arauca, LLA-32,
LLA-122, and Capachos.

performance on record, with strong results across all safety
metrics, including lagging and leading indicators.
2024 Fourth Quarter Results

$34.90/boe(3) and an FFO netback of $32.39/boe(3) from an average
Brent price of $74.01/bbl.
- Recovered current tax of $6 million in
the quarter; for 2025 the Company expects its FFO netback to be
supported by lower current tax expenses compared to prior periods
due to the Company's before tax cash flow profile, previous capital
expenditures, and certain tax strategies that have been deployed
over recent years.
- Incurred $82 million(2) of capital
expenditures, primarily from activities at LLA-34, LLA-32, and
Capachos.

Operational Update
For the period of January 1, 2025, to February 28, 2025,
estimated average production was 44,500 boe/d(5).
Parex currently has two drilling rigs operating (one operated
and one non-operated), with expectations to ramp-up to four
drilling rigs in Q2 2025 (three operated and one non-operated).
The Company's operations are supportive of a growing H2 2025
production profile, with the following activities:
- Progressing waterflood and polymer
injection programs at LLA-34 and Cabrestero.
- Cabrestero is fully on waterflood, with
plans for a full polymer injection scheme that is supported by
pilot results to date.
- LLA-34 continues to ramp-up waterflood
activity and is planning to commence a polymer injection pilot in
2025.
- Planning to begin LLA-32 drilling
campaign in Q2 2025.
- LLA-32 is located to the north and
adjacent to LLA-34 and Cabrestero; Parex drilled three successful
wells at LLA-32 in 2024.
- Advancing near-field exploration
program, with the expectation to drill 3-4 prospects in H1 2025.
- Prospects are generally focused in the
Southern Llanos where Parex has had previous basin success.
- Gaining momentum to achieve initial
access in the Putumayo in Q2 2025 as originally anticipated.
- Per budgeted plans, activity is
expected to begin with a workover rig, with a drilling rig added
approximately mid-year.
Operations so far this year are progressing within Management
expectations and Parex's 2025 corporate guidance remains as
previously released January 14, 2025, and as set out below:

Reserves Advisory
The recovery and reserve estimates of crude oil
reserves provided in this news release are estimates only, and
there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be
recovered. Actual crude oil reserves may eventually prove to be
greater than, or less than, the estimates provided herein. All
December 31, 2024 reserves presented are based on GLJ's
forecast pricing effective January 1, 2025. All December 31,
2023 reserves presented are based on GLJ's forecast pricing
effective January 1, 2024. All December 31, 2022 reserves
presented are based on GLJ's forecast pricing effective January 1,
2023.
Comparatives to the independent reserves report prepared by GLJ
dated February 29, 2024 with an effective date of
December 31, 2023 (the "GLJ 2023 Report"), and the independent
reserves report prepared by GLJ dated February 2, 2023 with an
effective date of December 31, 2022 ("GLJ 2022 Report", and
collectively with the GLJ 2024 Report and the GLJ 2023 Report, the
"GLJ Reports"). Each GLJ Report was prepared in accordance with
definitions, standards and procedures contained in the Canadian Oil
and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGE Handbook") and National
Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas
Activities ("NI 51-101").
It should not be assumed that the estimates of future net
revenues presented herein represent the fair market value of the
reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating
quantities of crude oil, reserves and the future cash flows
attributed to such reserves.
“Proved Developed Producing Reserves" are those reserves that
are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the
time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or,
if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the
date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable
certainty.
"Proved Developed Non-Producing Reserves" are those reserves
that either have not been on production or have previously been on
production but are shut-in and the date of resumption of production
is unknown.
"Proved Undeveloped Reserves" are those reserves expected to be
recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure
(e.g. when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to
render them capable of production. They must fully meet the
requirements of the reserves category (proved, probable, possible)
to which they are assigned.
"Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with
a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the
actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated
proved reserves.
"Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less
certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely
that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or
less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable
reserves.
“Possible” reserves are those additional reserves that are less
certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10
percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will
equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible
reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable
plus possible reserves.
The term "Boe" means a barrel of oil equivalent on the basis of
6 Mcf of natural gas to 1 barrel of oil ("bbl"). Boe’s may be
misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversation
ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion
method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not
represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given the value
ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to
natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency
of 6:1, utilizing a conversion ratio at 6:1 may be misleading as an
indication of value.
Light crude oil is crude oil with a relative density greater
than 31.1 degrees API gravity, medium crude oil is crude oil with a
relative density greater than 22.3 degrees API gravity and less
than or equal to 31.1 degrees API gravity, and heavy crude oil is
crude oil with a relative density greater than 10 degrees API
gravity and less than or equal to 22.3 degrees API gravity.
With respect to F&D costs, the aggregate of the exploration
and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year
and the change during that year in estimated future development
costs generally will not reflect total F&D costs related to
reserve additions for that year. The estimates of reserves and
future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the
same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net
revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation.
This press release contains several oil and gas metrics,
including reserve replacement, reserve additions including
acquisitions, and reserve life index. In addition, the following
non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, as described below
under "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures", can be considered to
be oil and gas metrics: F&D costs, FD&A costs, F&D
recycle ratio, FD&A recycle ratio, operating netback, funds
flow provided by operations, funds flow provided by operations
netback, reserve replacement and NAV. Such oil and gas
metrics have been prepared by management and do not have
standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and
therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures
used by other companies and should not be used to make comparisons.
Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with
additional measures to evaluate the Company's performance; however,
such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance
of the Company and future performance may not compare to the
performance in previous periods and therefore such metric should
not be unduly relied upon. Management uses these oil and gas
metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide
security holders with measures to compare the Company's operations
over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by
these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in
this news release, should not be relied upon for investment or
other purposes. A summary of the calculations of reserve
replacement and RLI are as follows, with the other oil and gas
metrics referred to above being described herein under "Non-GAAP
and Other Financial Measures":
- Reserve additions including acquisitions is calculated by the
change in reserves category and adding current year annual
production.
- Reserve replacement is calculated by dividing the annual
reserve additions by the annual production.
- Reserve life index is calculated by dividing the applicable
reserves category by the annualized fourth quarter average
production.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Advisory
This press release uses various “non-GAAP financial measures”,
“non-GAAP ratios”, “supplementary financial measures” and “capital
management measures” (as such terms are defined in NI 52-112),
which are described in further detail below. Such measures are not
standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be
comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other
issuers. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures
should not be construed as alternatives to or more meaningful than
the most directly comparable GAAP measures as indicators of Parex's
performance.
These measures facilitate management’s comparisons to the
Company’s historical operating results in assessing its results and
strategic and operational decision-making and may be used by
financial analysts and others in the oil and natural gas industry
to evaluate the Company’s performance. Further, management believes
that such financial measures are useful supplemental information to
analyze operating performance and provide an indication of the
results generated by the Company's principal business
activities.
Set forth below is a description of the non-GAAP financial
measures, non-GAAP ratios, supplementary financial measures and
capital management measures used in this press release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Capital expenditures, is a non-GAAP financial
measure which the Company uses to describe its capital costs
associated with oil and gas expenditures. The measure considers
both property, plant and equipment expenditures and exploration and
evaluation asset expenditures which are items in the Company’s
statement of cash flows for the period and is calculated as
follows:

Free funds flow, is a non-GAAP financial
measure that is determined by funds flow provided by operations
less capital expenditures. The Company considers free funds flow to
be a key measure as it demonstrates Parex’s ability to fund returns
of capital, such as the normal course issuer bid and dividends,
without accessing outside funds and is calculated as follows:

EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is
defined as net income (loss) adjusted for finance income and
expense, other expenses, income tax expense (recovery) and
depletion, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial
measure defined as EBITDA adjusted for non-cash impairment charges,
share-based compensation expense (recovery), unrealized foreign
exchange gains (losses), and unrealized gains (losses) on risk
management contracts.
The Company considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key
measures as they demonstrate Parex’s profitability before finance
income and expenses, taxes, depletion, depreciation and
amortization and other non-cash items. A reconciliation from net
income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Non-GAAP Ratios
Operating netback per boe, is a non-GAAP ratio
the Company considers operating netback per boe to be a key measure
as it demonstrates Parex’s profitability relative to current
commodity prices. Parex calculates operating netback per boe as
operating netback divided by the total equivalent sales volume
including purchased oil volumes for oil and natural gas sales price
and transportation expense per boe and by the total equivalent
sales volume and excludes purchased oil volumes for royalties and
operating expense per boe.
Funds flow provided by operations netback per
boe, is a non-GAAP ratio that includes all cash generated
from operating activities and is calculated before changes in
non-cash working capital, divided by produced oil and natural gas
sales volumes. The Company considers funds flow provided by
operations netback per boe to be a key measure as it demonstrates
Parex’s profitability after all cash costs relative to current
commodity prices.
Finding & Development Costs (F&D costs) per boe
and Finding, Development and Acquisition Costs (FD&A costs) per
boe, is a non-GAAP ratio that helps to explain the cost of
finding and developing additional oil and gas reserves. F&D
costs are determined by dividing capital expenditures plus the
change in FDC in the period divided by BOE reserve additions in the
period. FD&A costs per boe are determined by dividing capital
expenditures in the period plus the change in FDC plus acquisition
costs divided by BOE reserve additions in the period.

Three-year operating netback on a per boe basis is calculated using
weighted average sales volumes.
Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share, is a
non-GAAP ratio that combines the 51-101 NPV15 value after tax with
the Company’s estimated working capital at the period end date,
less bank debt at the period end date, divided by common shares
outstanding at the period end date. The Company uses the NAV per
share as a way to reflect the Company’s value considering existing
working capital on hand, less bank debt, plus the NPV15 after tax
value on Oil and Gas Reserves. NAV per share is stated in CAD
dollars using an exchange rate of USDCAD=1.4389. NAV is defined as
total assets less total liabilities.
Net Asset Value ("NAV") per boe, is a non-GAAP
ratio that combines the 51-101 NPV15 value after tax with the
Company’s estimated working capital at the period end date, less
bank debt at the period end date, divided by reserve volumes at the
period end date. The Company uses the NAV per boe as a way to
reflect the Company’s value considering existing working capital on
hand, less bank debt, plus the NPV15 after tax value on Oil and Gas
Reserves. Net asset value is defined as total assets less total
liabilities.
Basic funds flow provided by operations per
share is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated by dividing
funds flow provided by operations by the weighted average number of
basic shares outstanding. Parex presents basic funds flow provided
by operations per share whereby per share amounts are calculated
using weighted-average shares outstanding, consistent with the
calculation of earnings per share.
Capital Management Measures
Funds flow provided by operations, is a capital
management measure that includes all cash generated from operating
activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash assets and
liabilities. The Company considers funds flow provided by
operations to be a key measure as it demonstrates Parex’s
profitability after all cash costs. A reconciliation from cash
provided by operating activities to funds flow provided by
operations is as follows:

expectation that it will be designated as an "eligible dividend".
Such financial outlook has been prepared by Parex's management to
provide an outlook of the Company's activities and results. The
financial outlook has been prepared based on a number of
assumptions including the assumptions discussed above and
assumptions with respect to the costs and expenditures to be
incurred by the Company, including capital equipment and operating
costs, foreign exchange rates, taxation rates for the Company,
general and administrative expenses and the prices to be paid for
the Company's production.
Management does not have firm commitments for all of the costs,
expenditures, prices or other financial assumptions used to prepare
the financial outlook or assurance that such operating results will
be achieved and, accordingly, the complete financial effects of all
of those costs, expenditures, prices and operating results are not
objectively determinable. The actual results of operations of the
Company and the resulting financial results will likely vary from
the amounts set forth in the analysis presented in this press
release, and such variations may be material. The Company and
Management believe that the financial outlook has been prepared on
a reasonable basis, reflecting the best estimates and judgments,
and represent, to the best of Management's knowledge, Parex's
expected expenditures and results of operations. However, because
this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks
including the risks discussed above, it should not be relied on as
necessarily indicative of future results. Except as required by
applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to
update such financial outlook. The financial outlook contained in
this press release was made as of the date of this press release
and was provided for the purpose of providing further information
about the Company's potential future business operations. Readers

release is not conclusive and is subject to change.
