 CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"“Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our financial position, estimated quantities and net present values of reserves, business strategy, plans and objectives of our management for future operations, covenant compliance, capital spending plans and benefits of the changes in our capital program or expenditures, our liquidity, the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “target”, “goal”, “plan”, “budget”, “objective”, “could”, “should”, or similar expressions or variations on these expressions are forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct or that, even if correct, intervening circumstances will not occur to cause actual results to be different than expected. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our ability to comply with covenants in our credit agreement and indentures and make borrowings under our credit agreement; our ability to obtain amendments to the covenants in our credit agreement so as to avoid an event of default under our credit agreement and senior notes; a reduction in our borrowing base and our ability to repay any excess borrowings; sustained or future declines in commodity prices and the demand for oil; sustained or future excess supply of oil and natural gas; potential future impairments and reductions in proved reserve quantities and value; continuationcontinued spread of the COVID-19 pandemicvirus and responses thereto, includingextensions of previously announced lockdowns and possible future restrictions against oil and gas activity in ColombiaColombia and Ecuador; our current operations are located in South America, and unexpected problems can arise due to guerilla activity, strikes, local blockades, protests, and other local conditions; technical difficulties and operational difficulties may arise which impact the production, transport or sale of our products; geographic, political and weather conditions can impact the production, transport or sale of our products; the Russian invasion of Ukraine; our ability to raise capital; our ability to identify and complete successful acquisitions, including in new countries and basins from our current operations; our ability to execute business plans; unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned properties may occur; the timely receipt of regulatory or other required approvals for our operating activities; the failure of exploratory drilling to result in commercial wells; unexpectedthe effects of hedges; unexpected delays due to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; current global economic and credit market conditions and the regulatory environment may impact oil prices and oil consumption differently than we currently predict, which could cause us to further modify our strategy and capital spending program; volatility or declines in the trading price of our common stock and the continued listing of our shares on a national stock exchange; and those factors set out in Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors"“Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2020“2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K"10-K”), and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and volatility in the worldwide economy and oil and gas industry makes, including the unpredictable nature of the resurgence of cases, possible variants and governmental responses, it more difficult to predict the accuracy of forward-looking statements. The information included herein is given as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC and, except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to, or to withdraw, any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based.

During the covenant relief period, the Company's ratio of total debt to Covenant EBITDAX ("EBITDAX") was permitted to be greater than 4.0 to 1.0, Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX ratio could not exceed 2.5 to 1.0, and EBITDAX to interest expense ratio for the trailing four-quarter periods measured as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, was required to be 2.0 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants in the revolving credit facility.

Commencing on October 1, 2021, the Company must maintain compliance with the following financial covenants: limitations on Company'sthe Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDAXearnings before interest, taxes, depletion, depreciation and accretion and exploration expenses (“EBITDAX”) to a maximum of 4.0 to 1.0; limitations on Company'sCompany’s ratio of Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX to a maximum of 3.0 to 1.0; and the maintenance of a ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 2.5 to 1.0. If the Company fails to comply with these financial covenants, it wouldwill result in a default under the terms of the credit agreement, which could result in an acceleration of repayment of all indebtedness under the Company'sCompany’s revolving credit facility.

Amounts drawn down under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company'sCompany’s option, at the USD LIBOR rate plus a
margin ranging from 2.90% to 4.90%, or an alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.90% to 3.90%, in each case based on the borrowing base utilization percentage. The alternate base rate is currently the U.S. prime rate. We pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility, which ranges from 0.73% to 1.23% per annum, based on the average daily amount of unused commitments.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during each period.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation arrangements. The treasury stock method assumes that any proceeds obtained on the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The weighted average number of shares is then adjusted by the difference between the number of shares issued from the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements and shares repurchased from the related proceeds. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

8.7. Revenue

The Company'sCompany’s revenues are generated from oil sales at prices that reflect the blended prices received upon shipment by the purchaser at defined sales points or defined by contract relative to ICE Brent and adjusted for Vasconia or Castilla crude differentials, quality, and transportation discounts each month.

9. COVID-19 Costs

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in additional ongoing operating and transportation costs related to COVID-19 health and safety preventative measures, including incremental sanitation requirements and enhanced procedures for trucking barrels and crew changes in the field. Below is a break-down of the costs:

10.8. Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 397% 74% for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, compared to 8%(30)% in the comparative period of 2020.2021. Current income tax expense was in a recovery position$20.8 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021, versus anMarch 31, 2022, compared to no current tax expense position for the comparative period in 2020, primarily as a result of changes in the previous estimationcorresponding period of presumptive minimum tax.2021, primarily due to an increase in taxable income. The deferred income tax expense for the ninethree months ended September 30, March 31, 2022, was mainly the result of tax depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation in Colombia. The deferred income tax expense in the comparative period of 2021 resulted from was the result of excess tax depreciation compared towith accounting depreciation and the use of tax losses to offset taxable income in Colombia. The deferred income tax recovery in the comparative period of 2020 was mainly the result of a ceiling test impairment loss in Colombia, partially offset by losses incurred in Colombia that are now fully offset by a valuation allowance.

11


For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the difference between the effective tax rate of 397%74% and the 31% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to the non-deductibility of derivative instrument losses and financing costs; foreign currency translation adjustments, and stock based compensation. These were partially offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance and the non-taxable portion (50%) of the unrealized gain on PetroTal Corp. ("PetroTal") shares.

In the third quarter of 2021, Congressional authorities in Colombia enacted a new tax legislation, which includes an increase to the corporate income tax rate to 35% from 31%, effective January 1, 2022. Accordingly, the tax rates applied to the calculation of deferred income taxes, before valuation allowance, have been adjusted to reflect this change.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the difference between the effective tax rate of 8% and the 32% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the impact of foreign taxes, foreign translation adjustments, increase in the valuation allowance, other permanent differences, and non-deductible stock-based compensation.

For the non-deductibilitythree months ended March 31, 2021, the difference between the effective tax rate of goodwill impairment for(30)% and the 31% Colombian tax purposes,rate was primarily due to an increase in the impact of foreign taxes, foreign translation adjustments and the non-deductible portion (50%) of the unrealized loss on PetroTal Corp. ("PetroTal") shares.other permanent differences, which was partially offset by a decrease in valuation allowance.

11.9. Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

Gran Tierra has a number of lawsuits and claims pending, including a dispute with the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (National Hydrocarbons Agency) ("ANH"(“ANH”) relating to the calculation of high price share royalties. Although the outcome of these lawsuits and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, Gran Tierra believes the resolution of these matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Gran Tierra records costs as they are incurred or become probable and determinable.

At September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had provided letters of credit and other credit support totaling $102.4$105.7 million (December 31, 20202021 - $100.6$103.0 million) as security relating to work commitment guarantees in Colombia and Ecuador contained in exploration contracts and other capital or operating requirements.

12.10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to market participants to settle liability at the measurement date. For financial instruments carried at fair value, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

11


Level 1 - Inputs representing quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities

At September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company’s financial instruments recognized on the balance sheet consistedconsist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment, other long-term assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current portion of long-term debt, derivatives, other short-term payables, long-term debt, long-term equity compensation awardreward liability long-term debt, and other long-term liabilities. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available information to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the estimatedshort-term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate its carrying value because interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.

Prepaid Equity Forward (“PEF”)

To reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in the trading price of the Company’s common shares on outstanding PSUs, the Company entered into a PEF. At the end of the term, the counterparty will pay the Company an amount equivalent to the notional amount of the shares using the price of the Company’s common shares at the valuation date. The Company has the discretion to increase or decrease the notional amount of the PEF or terminate the agreement early. As at March 31, 2022, the Company’s PEF had a notional amount of 12 million shares with a fair value of $18.8 million (As at December 31, 2021 - 10 million shares with a fair value of $7.6 million). During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain of $7.8 million on the PEF in general and administrative expenses (three months ended March 31, 2021- nil). The fair value of the PEF asset was estimated using the Company’s share price quoted in active markets at the end of each reporting period.

Investment in PetroTal

The estimated fair value of the Company's investment in PetroTal was $44.1 million at September 30, 2021 ($48.3 million at December 31, 2020), based on the closing stock price of PetroTal of $0.41 CAD ($0.25 CAD at December 31, 2020) and the foreign exchange rate at that date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 44% (109 million common shares) of its interest in PetroTal for cash proceeds net of transaction costs of $14.6 million, resulting in a loss on sale of $5.1 million. PetroTal is a publicly-traded energy company incorporated and domiciled in Canada engaged in exploration, appraisal, and development of crude oil and natural gas in Peru. PetroTal's shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture under the trading symbol 'TAL' and on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market under the trading symbol 'PTAL'. As at September 30, 2021, Gran Tierra holds approximately 137 million common shares representing approximately 17% of PetroTal's issued and outstanding common shares.

Commodity and Foreign Currency DerivativesDSU liability

The fair value of commodityDSUs liability was estimated using Company’s share price quoted in active markets at the end of each reporting period.

PSUs liability

The fair value of the PSUs liability was estimated based on a pricing model using inputs, such as Company’s share price and foreign currencyPSU performance factor.

Derivative asset and derivative liability

The fair value of derivatives is estimated based on various factors, including quoted market prices in active markets and quotes from third parties. The Company also performs an internal valuation to ensure the
12


reasonableness of third party quotes. In consideration of counterparty credit risk, the Company assessed the possibility of whether the counterparty to the derivative would default by failing to make any contractually required payments. Additionally, the Company considers that it is of substantial credit quality and has the financial resources and willingness to meet its potential repayment obligations associated with the derivative transactions.

PSUs and DSUs

The estimated fair value of the PSUs liability is based on a pricing model using inputs such as quoted market prices in an active market and PSUs performance factor. The fair value of DSUs liability is measured using quoted market prices in an active market.

The fair value of investment, derivatives, and PSUs and DSUs liability at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was as follows:

Revolving credit facility and Senior Notes

Financial instruments not recorded at fair value includeat March 31, 2022, included the Company's 6.25% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "6.25% Senior Notes") and 7.75% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "7.75% Senior Notes")the Revolving Credit Facility (Note 5).

The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying value. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility is estimated based on the amount the Company would have to pay a third party to assume the debt, including the credit spread for the difference between the issue rate and the period-end market rate. The credit spread is the Company’s default or repayment risk. The credit spread (premium or discount) is determined by comparing the debt to new issuances (secured or unsecured) and secondary trades of similar size and credit statistics for public and private debt.

At September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of the 6.25% Senior Notes and the 7.75% Senior Notes were $293.5$294.4 million and $291.7$292.3 million, respectively, which represented the aggregate principal amount less unamortized debt issuance costs, and the fair values were $262.6$277.9 million and $260.1$278.2 million, respectively. The fair value of long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents and the revolving credit facility approximated their carrying value because interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. The fair values of other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 and 3 inputs are based on significant other observable inputs and significant unobservable inputs, respectively, and have lower priorities. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.

At September 30, 2021, the fair value of the investment and DSUs liability was determined using Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the derivative and PSUs liability was determined using Level 2 inputs.

The Company uses available market data and valuation methodologies to estimate the fair value of debt. The fair value of debt is the estimated amount the Company would have to pay a third party to assume the debt, including a credit spread for the difference between the issue rate and the period-end market rate. The credit spread is the Company’s default or repayment risk. The credit spread (premium or discount) is determined by comparing the Company’s Senior Notes and revolving credit facility to new issuances (secured and unsecured) and secondary trades of similar size and credit statistics for public and private debt. The disclosure in the paragraph above regarding the fair value of cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents and Senior Notes was based on Level 1 inputs, and the fair value of credit facility was based on Level 2 inputs.Asset retirement obligation

The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements include asset retirement obligations.obligation. The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is measured by reference to the expected future cash outflows required to satisfy the retirement obligation discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The significant level 3 inputs used to calculate such liabilities include estimates of costs to be incurred, the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate, inflation rates, and estimated dates of abandonment. Accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liabilities are accreted to their expected settlement value, while the asset retirement cost is amortized over the estimated productive life of the related assets.

Commodity Price Derivatives

(2) Non-GAAP measures

Operating netback, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, funds flow from operations, and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures whichthat do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP. Management views these measures as financial performance measures. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to oil sales, net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure is preceded by the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.

Operating netback, as presented, is defined as oil sales less operating and transportation expenses. Management believes that operating netback is a useful supplemental measure for management and investors to analyze financial performance and provides an indication of the results generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of other income and expenses. A reconciliation from oil sales to operating netback is provided in the table above.

EBITDA, as presented, is defined as net income or loss adjusted for depletion, depreciation and accretion ("(“DD&A"&A”) expenses, interest expense and income tax expense or recovery. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, is defined as EBITDA adjusted for goodwill impairment, asset impairment, non-cash lease expense, lease payments, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, stock-based compensation expense or recovery, other-non cash gain or loss, unrealized derivative instruments gain or loss, and other financial instruments gain or loss. Management uses this supplemental measure to analyze performance and income generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income and believes that this financial measure is

useful supplemental information for investors to analyze our performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net lossincome (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

The deferred income tax expense for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022, was mainly the result of tax depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation in Colombia. The deferred income tax expense in the comparative period of 2021 resulted fromwas the result of excess tax depreciation compared with accounting depreciation and the use of tax losses to offset taxable income in Colombia. The deferred income tax recovery in the comparative period of 2020 was mainly the result of a ceiling test impairment loss in Colombia, partially offset by losses incurred in Colombia that are now fully offset by a valuation allowance.

For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022, the difference between the effective tax rate of 74% and the 35% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to increase in the impact of foreign taxes, foreign translation adjustments, increase in the valuation allowance, other permanent differences, and non-deductible stock-based compensation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the difference between the effective tax rate of 397%(30)% and the 31% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to the non-deductibility of derivative instrument losses and financing costs; foreign currency translation adjustments, and stock based compensation. These were partially offset by a decrease in valuation allowance and the non-taxable portion (50%) of the unrealized gain on PetroTal Corp. ("PetroTal") shares.

In the third quarter of 2021, Congressional authorities in Colombia enacted a new tax legislation, which includes an increase to the corporate income tax rate to 35% from 31%, effective January 1, 2022. Accordingly, the tax rates applied to the calculation of deferred income taxes, before valuation allowances, have been adjusted to reflect this change.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the difference between the effective tax rate of 8% and the 32% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance, the non-deductibilityimpact of goodwill impairment for tax purposes,foreign taxes, foreign translation adjustments and the non-deductible portion (50%) of the unrealized loss on PetroTal shares.

We intend to pursue growth opportunities and acquisitions from time to time, which may require significant capital, be located in global demand for oil. Governments worldwide, including those in Colombiabasins or countries beyond our current operations, involve joint ventures, or be sizable as compared to our current assets and Ecuador, the countries where we operate, enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused, and may continue to cause, material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. While global commodity prices have improved since historic lows during the first half of 2020, the current challenging economic climate had and may continue to have significant adverse impacts on our Company including, but not exclusively:
material declines in revenue and cash flows as a result of the decline in commodity prices;
declines in revenue and operating activities due to reduced capital programs and the shut-in of production;
impairment charges;
inability to comply with covenants and restrictions in debt agreements;
inability to access financing sources;
increased risk of non-performance by our customers and suppliers;
interruptions in operations as we adjust personnel to the dynamic environment; and
32


inability to operate or delay in operations as a result COVID-19 restrictions in the countries in which we operate

Based on current forecasted Brent pricing and production levels, which can change materially in very short time frames, we forecasted to comply with the financial covenants contained in the revolving credit facility for at least the next year from the date of these financial statements. The amount available under our senior secured credit facility is based on the lender's borrowing base determination. The borrowing base is determined, by the lenders, based on our reserves and commodity prices. The next renewal of the borrowing base is in November 2021, and there is a risk that the lenders may reduce the borrowing base. In addition, our ability to borrow under the credit facility may be limited by the terms of the indentures for the 6.25% Senior Notes and 7.75% Senior Notes.

The risk of non-compliance with the covenants in the lending agreements and the risk associated with maintaining the borrowing base is heightened in the current period of volatility coupled with the unprecedented disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We currently expect to continue to meet the terms of the credit facility or obtain further amendments or waivers if and when required. We also expect to maintain the borrowing base at a level in excess of the amount borrowed. However, there can be no assurances that our liquidity can be maintained at or above current levels during this period of volatility and global economic uncertainty.
The situation is dynamic, and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy and the financial effect on our Company is not known at this time.operations.
As at September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the borrowing base of our Senior Secured Credit Facility (the "revolving“revolving credit facility"facility”) was $215$150 million, with the$125 million readily available and $25 million subject to approval by majority lenders. The next re-determination towill occur no later than May 2022. The maturity date of the borrowings under the revolving credit facility is November 2021. 10, 2022.

We are required to comply with various covenants, which have been modified in response to the recent market conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic. We have obtained relief from compliance with certain financial covenants, which expired on October 1, 2021 ("the covenant relief period"). During the covenant relief period, our ratio of total debt to EBITDAX was permitted to be greater than 4.0 to 1.0, our Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX ratio could not exceed 2.5 to 1.0, and our EBITDAX to interest expense ratio for the trailing four-quarter periods measured as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ending as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2021, was required to be at least 2.0 to 1.0. We are required to comply with various covenants, which as disclosed above, have been modified in response to the current market conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants in the revolving credit facility.

After the expiration of the covenant relief period on October 1, 2021, we must maintain compliance with the following financial covenants: limitations on our ratio of debt to EBITDAX to a maximum of 4.0 to 1.0; limitations on our ratio of Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX to a maximum of 3.0 to 1.0; and the maintenance of a ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 2.5 to 1.0. If we fail to comply with these financial covenants, it wouldwill result in a default under the terms of the credit agreement, which could result in an acceleration of repayment of all indebtedness under the Company'sCompany’s revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the borrower'sborrower’s option, USD LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.90% to 4.90%, or base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.90% to 3.90%, in each case based on the borrowing base utilization percentage. The alternate base rate is currently the U.S. prime rate. We pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility, which ranges from 0.73% to 1.23% per annum, based on the average daily amount of unused commitments.

At September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had $150.040.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility. During the thirdfirst quarter of 2021,2022, we repaid $25.0$27.5 million of the amount drawn under the revolving credit facility.facility using cash flows from operations. Accordingly, we had $65.0110.0 million of availability under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. As of OctoberApril 29, 2021,2022, outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility were further reduced to $130.010.0 million using .cash flows from operations.

At September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had a $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2025 and a $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2027 outstanding. An event of default under the revolving credit facility would result in a default under the indentures governing the senior notes, which could allow the noteholders to require us to repurchase all of the outstanding Senior Notes.

In accordance with our investment policy, available cash balances are held in our primary cash management banks or invested in U.S. or Canadian government-backed federal, provincial, or state securities or other money market instruments with high credit ratings and short-term liquidity.

One of the primary sources of variability in our cash flows from operating activities is the fluctuation in oil prices, the impact of which we partially mitigate by entering into commodity price derivatives. Sales volume changes and costs related to operations and debt service also impact cash flows. Our cash flows from operating activities are also impacted by foreign currency exchange rate changes, the impact of which we partially mitigate by entering into foreign currency derivatives.changes. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, funds flow from operations increased by 235%201% compared to the corresponding period of 20202021 primarily due to a significant increase in Brent price and increase in production,
32


which were partially offset by higher Castilla and Vasconia differentials and an increase in operating expenses and cash settlements on derivative instruments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As at September 30, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

At September 30, 2021, we had $150.0 million drawn under our revolving credit facility.

Except for noted above, as at September 30, 2021, there were no other material changes to our contractual obligations outside of the ordinary course of business from those as at December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Item 7 of our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and have not changed materially since the filing of that document.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity price risk

Our principal market risk relates to oil prices. Oil prices are volatile and unpredictable and influenced by concerns over world supply and demand imbalance and many other market factors outside of our control. Most of our revenues are from oil sales at prices which reflect the blended prices received upon shipment by the purchaser at defined sales points or are defined by contract relative to ICE Brent and adjusted for quality each month.

We have entered into commodity price derivative contracts to manage the variability in cash flows associated with the forecasted sale of our oil production, reduce commodity price risk and provide a base level of cash flow in order to assure we can execute at least a portion of our capital spending.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is a factor for our Company but is ameliorated to a certain degree by the nature of expenditures and revenues in the countries where we operate. Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars and 100% of our revenues are related to the U.S. dollar price of Brent or WTI oil. We receive 100% of our revenues in U.S. dollars and the majority of our capital expenditures is in U.S. dollars or is based on U.S. dollar prices. The majority of income and value added taxes, operating and G&A expenses in Colombia are in local currency. Certain G&A expenses incurred at our head office in Canada are denominated in Canadian dollars. While we operate in South America exclusively, the majority of our acquisition expenditures have been valued and paid in U.S. dollars.

We have entered into foreign currency derivative contracts to manage the variability in cash flows associated with our forecasted Colombian peso denominated costs.

Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses result primarily from the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar to the Colombian peso due to our current and deferred tax liabilities, which are monetary liabilities, denominated in the local currency of the Colombian foreign operations. As a Smaller Reporting Company, weresult, a foreign exchange gain or loss must be calculated on conversion to the U.S. dollar functional currency.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations on our revolving credit facility, which bears floating rates of interest. At March 31, 2022, our outstanding balance under revolving credit facility was $40.0 million (December 31, 2021 - $67.5 million).

Further Information

See Note 11 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for further information regarding our derivative contracts, including the notional amounts and call and put prices by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Expected cash flows from the derivatives equaled the fair value of the contract. The information is presented in U.S. dollars because that is our reporting currency. We do not required to provide information under this Item 3.hold any of these derivative contracts for trading purposes.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including in Part I, Item 2 "Management's“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"Operations”, you should carefully read and consider the factors set out in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors"“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
