Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
(all tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per common share amounts) (unaudited)
1.REPORTING ENTITY
Baytex Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Baytex”) is an energy company engaged in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and Texas, United States. The Company’s common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol BTE. The Company’s head and principal office is located at 2800, 520 – 3rd Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0R3, and its registered office is located at 2400, 525 – 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 1G1.
2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("consolidated financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting, under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the necessary annual disclosures as prescribed by IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of Baytex on April 28, 2022.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, with the exception of derivative financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the functional currency of the Company. References to “US$” are to United States ("U.S.") dollars. All financial information is rounded to the nearest thousand, except per share amounts or when otherwise indicated.
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021 are available through its filings on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies, critical accounting judgments and significant estimates used in preparation of the 2021 annual financial statements have been applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Current Environment and Estimation Uncertainty
Management makes judgements and assumptions about the future in deriving estimates used in preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Sources of estimation uncertainty include estimates used to determine economically recoverable oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids reserves, the recoverable amount of long-lived assets or cash generating units, the fair value of financial derivatives, the provision for asset retirement obligations and the provision for income taxes and the related deferred tax assets and liabilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, demand for oil and natural gas improved as the global economy continued to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Energy prices strengthened to multi-year highs due to elevated uncertainty of global oil and natural gas supply after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in addition to limited production growth reflecting oil and gas producers' capital discipline. While we have benefited from these improvements in crude oil prices, there is uncertainty related to COVID-19 and geopolitical events that have been considered in our estimates as at and for the period ended March 31, 2022.
3. SEGMENTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Baytex's reportable segments are determined based on the geographic location and nature of the underlying operations:
•Canada includes the exploration for, and the development and production of, crude oil and natural gas in Western Canada;
•U.S. includes the exploration for, and the development and production of, crude oil and natural gas in the U.S.; and
•Corporate includes corporate activities and items not allocated between operating segments.

At March 31, 2022, there were no indicators of impairment or impairment reversal for oil and gas properties in any of the Company's CGUs.
2021 Impairment Reversals
At December 31, 2021, we identified indicators of impairment reversal for oil and gas properties in five CGUs due to the increase in forecasted commodity prices in addition to changes in proved plus probable reserves. The recoverable amount for three CGUs exceeded their carrying amounts which resulted in an impairment reversal of $416 million recorded at December 31, 2021. The recoverable amount for each CGU was based on its fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD") which was estimated using a discounted cash flow model of proved plus probable cash flows from an independent reserve report prepared as at December 31, 2021. The after-tax discount rates applied to the cash flows were between 12% and 19%.
At June 30, 2021, we identified indicators of impairment reversal for oil and gas properties in each of our six CGUs due to the increase in forecasted commodity prices. The recoverable amount for each of our six CGUs exceeded their carrying amounts which resulted in an impairment reversal of $1.1 billion recorded at June 30, 2021. The recoverable amount for each CGU was based on its FVLCD which was estimated using a discounted cash flow model of proved plus probable cash flows from an independent reserve report prepared as at December 31, 2020 and was adjusted by management for operations between December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021. The after-tax discount rates applied to the cash flows were between 10% and 16%.
6. CREDIT FACILITIES
| | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 |
Credit facilities - U.S. dollar denominated(1) | $ | 115,579 | | $ | 156,332 | |
Credit facilities - Canadian dollar denominated | 311,279 | | 350,182 | |
Credit facilities - principal | 426,858 | | 506,514 | |
Unamortized debt issuance costs | (1,183) | | (1,343) | |
Credit facilities | $ | 425,675 | | $ | 505,171 | |
(1)U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities balance was US$92.6 million as at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - US$123.5 million).
(2)The decrease in the principal amount of the credit facilities outstanding from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 is the result of net repayments of $78.1 million and a decrease in the reported amount of U.S. denominated debt of $1.5 million due to foreign exchange.
At March 31, 2022, Baytex had US$575 million of revolving credit facilities (the "Revolving Facilities") and a $300 million non-revolving secured term loan (the "Term Loan") (collectively the "Credit Facilities"). On April 1, 2022, Baytex amended the credit facilities to increase total capacity to a US$850 million revolving facility that matures on April 1, 2026. The amended secured Revolving Facilities are comprised of a US$50 million operating loan and a US$600 million syndicated revolving loan for Baytex and a US$10 million operating loan and a US$190 million syndicated revolving loan for Baytex's wholly-owned subsidiary, Baytex Energy USA, Inc. There was no change to the financial covenants as a result of the amendment.
The credit facilities are not borrowing base facilities and do not require annual or semi-annual reviews. The credit facilities contain standard commercial covenants in addition to the financial covenants detailed below. There are no mandatory principal payments required prior to maturity which could be extended upon our request. Advances (including letters of credit) under the credit facilities can be drawn in either Canadian or U.S. funds and bear interest at the bank’s prime lending rate, bankers’ acceptance discount rates or secured overnight financing rates ("SOFR"), plus applicable margins.
The weighted average interest rate on the Credit Facilities was 2.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (2.1% for three months ended March 31, 2021).
At March 31, 2022, Baytex had $14.8 million of outstanding letters of credit (December 31, 2021 - $15.0 million) under the Credit Facilities.
The following table summarizes the financial covenants applicable to the Credit Facilities and our compliance therewith at March 31, 2022.
| | | | | | | | |
Covenant Description | Position as at March 31, 2022 | Covenant |
Senior Secured Debt (1) to Bank EBITDA (2) (Maximum Ratio) | 0.5:1.0 | 3.5:1.0 |
Interest Coverage (3) (Minimum Ratio) | 10.9:1.0 | 2.0:1.0 |
(1)"Senior Secured Debt" is calculated in accordance with the credit facility agreements and is defined as the principal amount of the credit facilities and other secured obligations identified in the credit agreement. As at March 31, 2022, the Company's Senior Secured Debt totaled $441.7 million which included $426.9 million of principal amounts outstanding and $14.8 million of letters of credit.
(2)"Bank EBITDA" is calculated based on terms and definitions set out in the credit agreement which adjusts net income or loss for financing and interest expenses, income tax, non-recurring losses, certain specific unrealized and non-cash transactions and is calculated based on a trailing twelve-month basis including the impact of material acquisitions as if they had occurred at the beginning of the twelve month period. Bank EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 was $957.0 million.
(3)"Interest coverage" is calculated in accordance with the credit agreement and is computed as the ratio of Bank EBITDA to financing and interest expenses, excluding certain non-cash transactions, and is calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis. Financing and interest expense for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 was $87.9 million.

(1)The decrease in the principal amount of long-term notes outstanding from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 is the result of changes in the reported amount of U.S. denominated debt of $12.0 million.
The long-term notes do not contain any significant financial maintenance covenants but do contain a debt incurrence covenant that restricts the Company's ability to raise additional debt beyond the existing Credit Facilities and long-term notes.

9. SHAREHOLDERS' CAPITAL
The authorized capital of Baytex consists of an unlimited number of common shares without nominal or par value and 10.0 million preferred shares without nominal or par value, issuable in series. Baytex establishes the rights and terms of the preferred shares upon issuance. At March 31, 2022, no preferred shares have been issued by the Company and all common shares issued were fully paid.
The holders of common shares may receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at any meeting of the holders of common shares. All common shares rank equally with regard to the Company's net assets in the event the Company is wound-up or terminated.
| | | | | | | | |

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company recorded total compensation expense related to the share awards of $3.9 million ($3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021) which includes $2.2 million of cash compensation expense related to the incentive award plan, deferred share unit plan and the associated equity total return swaps ($1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021).
Share Award Incentive Plan
Baytex has a share award plan pursuant to which it issues restricted and performance awards. A restricted award entitles the holder of each award to receive one common share of Baytex at the time of vesting. A performance award entitles the holder of each award to receive between zero and two common shares on vesting; the number of common shares issued is determined by a multiplier. The multiplier, which ranges between zero and two, is calculated based on a number of factors determined and approved by the Board of Directors on an annual basis. The restricted awards and performance awards vest in equal tranches on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. At Baytex's option, these awards may be cash settled at vesting.
The weighted average fair value of share awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $5.68 per restricted and performance award ($1.29 for the three months ended March 31, 2021).
The number of share awards outstanding is detailed below:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(000s) | Number of restricted awards | Number of performance awards | Total number of share awards |
Balance, December 31, 2020 | 4,122 | | 4,088 | | 8,210 | |

Balance, March 31, 2022 | 712 | | 4,846 | | 5,558 | |
Incentive Award Plan
Baytex has an incentive award plan (the "Incentive Award" plan) whereby the holder of each incentive award is entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the value of one Baytex common share at the time of vesting. The incentive awards vest in equal tranches on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The cumulative expense is recognized at fair value at each period end and is included in trade and other payables.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Baytex granted 1.3 million awards under the Incentive Award plan at a fair value of $5.68 per award (4.9 million awards at $1.29 per award for the three months ended March 31, 2021). At March 31, 2022 there were 5.4 million awards outstanding under the Incentive Award plan (6.4 million awards outstanding at December 31, 2021).
Deferred Share Unit Plan
Baytex has a deferred share unit plan (the "DSU" plan) whereby each Director of Baytex is entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the value of one Baytex common share on the date on which they cease to be a member of the Board. The awards vest immediately upon being granted and are expensed in full on the grant date. The units are recognized at fair value at each period end and are included in trade and other payables.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Baytex granted 0.2 million awards under the DSU plan at a fair value of $5.68 per award (0.9 million awards at $1.29 per award for the three months ended March 31, 2021). At March 31, 2022, there were 1.0 million awards outstanding under the DSU plan.
The Company uses equity total return swaps on the equivalent number of Baytex common shares in order to fix a portion of the aggregate cost of the Incentive Award plan and the DSU plan at the fair value determined on the grant date. The carrying value of the financial derivatives includes the fair value of the equity total return swap which was an asset of $6.2 million on March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - asset of $6.5 million). At March 31, 2022, an asset of $10.6 million associated with the equity return swap is included in accounts payable as it relates to the settlement of cash compensation payable (December 31, 2021 - an asset of $10.7 million).
11. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Baytex calculates basic income or loss per share based on the net income or loss attributable to shareholders using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share amounts reflect the potential dilution that could occur if share awards were converted to common shares. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of share awards whereby the potential conversion of share awards and the amount of compensation expense, if any, attributed to future services are assumed to be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31 |
| 2022 | 2021 |
| Net income | Weighted average common shares (000s) | Net income per share | Net loss | Weighted average common shares (000s) | Net loss per share |
Net income (loss) - basic | $ | 56,858 | | 565,518 | | $ | 0.10 | | $ | (35,352) | | 562,085 | | $ | (0.06) | |
Dilutive effect of share awards | — | | 4,187 | | — | | — | | — | | — | |

| | | | | | |
| |
| | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 no share awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect was dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, all share awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive given the Company recorded a net loss.

Adjustments, assessments and other | (591) | | 206 | |
Income tax (recovery) expense | $ | (66,422) | | $ | 5,504 | |
At March 31, 2022, a deferred tax asset of $154.9 million remains unrecognized due to uncertainty surrounding future commodity prices and future capital gains (December 31, 2021 - $145.6 million).
As disclosed in the 2021 annual financial statements, in June 2016, certain indirect subsidiary entities received reassessments from the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) that denied $591.0 million of non-capital loss deductions that relate to the calculation of income taxes for the years 2011 through 2015. In September 2016, Baytex filed notices of objection with the CRA appealing each reassessment received. There has been no change in the status of these reassessments since an Appeals Officer was assigned to the Company's file in July 2018. Baytex remains confident that the original tax filings are correct and intends to defend those tax filings through the appeals process.

(1)Baytex had a series of intercompany notes totaling US$601.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2021 that were issued from a Canadian functional currency subsidiary to a U.S. functional currency subsidiary. These notes are eliminated upon consolidation within the Statement of Financial Position and are revalued at the relevant foreign exchange rate at each period end. Foreign exchange gains or losses incurred within the Canadian functional currency subsidiary are recognized in unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss whereas those within the U.S. functional currency subsidiary are recognized in other comprehensive income. In January 2022 the intercompany notes were transferred from the Canadian functional currency subsidiary to another U.S. functional currency subsidiary. As a result, foreign exchange gains and losses incurred on these notes after the transfer are recognized in other comprehensive income.
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's financial assets and liabilities are comprised of cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, financial derivatives, credit facilities, and long-term notes. The fair value of the credit facilities is equal to the principal amount outstanding as the credit facilities bear interest at floating rates and credit spreads that are indicative of market rates. The fair value of the long-term notes is determined based on market prices.
The carrying value and fair value of the Company's financial instruments carried on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position are classified into the following categories:

17. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's capital management objective is to maintain financial flexibility and sufficient sources of liquidity to execute its capital programs, while meeting short and long-term commitments. Baytex strives to actively manage its capital structure in response to changes in economic conditions. At March 31, 2022, the Company's capital structure was comprised of shareholders' capital, long-term notes, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and the Credit Facilities.
In order to manage its capital structure and liquidity, Baytex may from time to time issue equity or debt securities, enter into business transactions including the sale of assets or adjust capital spending to manage current and projected debt levels. There is no certainty that any of these additional sources of capital would be available if required.
The capital intensive nature of Baytex's operations requires the maintenance of adequate sources of liquidity to fund ongoing exploration and development. Baytex's capital resources consist primarily of Adjusted Funds Flow, available Credit Facilities and proceeds received from the divestiture of oil and gas properties. The following capital management measures and ratios are used to monitor current and projected sources of liquidity.
Net Debt
The Company uses net debt to monitor it's current financial position and to evaluate existing sources of liquidity. Baytex also uses net debt projections to estimate future liquidity and whether additional sources of capital are required to fund ongoing operations.
The following table reconciles Net Debt to amounts disclosed in the primary financial statements.

Adjusted Funds Flow
Adjusted funds flow is used to monitor operating performance and the our ability to generate funds for exploration and development expenditures and settlement of abandonment obligations. Adjusted funds flow is comprised of cash flows from operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital and asset retirements obligations settled during the applicable period. Baytex also uses a net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio calculated on a twelve-month trailing basis to monitor our existing capital structure and future liquidity requirements.
Adjusted Funds Flow is reconciled to amounts disclosed in the primary financial statements in the following table.
