•

Plan expected to yield 4% year-over-year proforma growth in crude oil and condensate⁽¹⁾ production.

•

Planned 2020 capital investments total $2.7 billion, down 6%, or $175 million less than 2019 proforma capital investment when including 2019 utilized third party capital of $75 million in the Montney.

•

Strong hedge position: over 70% of 2020 crude oil and condensate and natural gas production hedged.

Full-year and fourth quarter 2019 highlights:

•

Fourth quarter and full-year financial and operating results exceed guidance and consensus expectations.

•

Proforma 2019 crude oil and condensate production grew 9% over 2018 (excluding the impact of divestitures). With volumes of 228 Mbbls/d, this ranks Ovintiv as one of the largest independent producers of crude oil and condensate. Total proforma production was 589 MBOE/d. See the “Capital Investment and Production” table below.

•

2019 capital investment hit themid-point of original guidance of $2.6 billion reportable and $2.8 billion proforma.

DENVER, February 19, 2020 – Ovintiv Inc. (NYSE, TSX: OVV) today announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2019 financial and operating results, which exceeded consensus estimates. The Company also announced its 2020 Outlook with capital investments expected to decrease about $175 million from the prior year on a proforma basis. The outlook is expected to generate the Company’s third consecutive year of significantnon-GAAP free cash flow and grow crude oil and condensate production by 4%. The 2020 investment program is aligned with Ovintiv’s strategy to grow long-term stockholder value through disciplined capital investments, a return of cash to stockholders and profitable liquids growth.

“We finished 2019 very strong, marking the second consecutive year of generating free cash flow while growing our crude and condensate production”, said CEO Doug Suttles. “Our disciplined capital investments, combined with a relentless focus on efficiency and innovation, has transformed Ovintiv into one of the largest independent producers of crude oil and condensate and amongst the top independents in EBITDA generation.”

A conference call and webcast to discuss the 2019 fourth quarter and full-year results and the 2020 outlook will be held at 7 a.m. MT (9 a.m. ET) on February 20, 2020. To participate, please dial888-231-8191 (toll-free in North America) or647-427-7450 (international) approximately 10 minutes prior to the conference call.

2020 Outlook

Ovintiv’s 2020 planned capital investments are $2.7 billion. Approximately 80% of the investments are allocated to development programs in the U.S. and more than 75% are earmarked for its three core assets—Permian, Anadarko and Montney.

Crude oil and condensate volumes are expected to grow 4% proforma year-over-year to 229 – 239 Mbbls/d. Full-year NGL (C2 – C4) production is expected to be 89 – 93 Mbbls/d, up 2% proforma from the prior year. Liquids (total crude oil and NGLs) are expected to comprise 56% of total production, up 2% over 2019 proforma volumes.

Total Costs in 2020 are expected to drop again year-over-year to $12.20 – $12.50 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE).

The 2020 Outlook is supported by Ovintiv’s derivatives’ positions with over 70% of 2020 crude oil, condensate and natural gas production hedged. The 2020 program is expected to be free cash flow positive at prices lower than the current strip prices of approximately $52/bbl WTI oil and approximately $2.15/MMBtu NYMEX natural gas. As of December 31, 2019, Ovintiv had 2020 benchmark hedges of approximately 165 Mbbls/d of crude oil and condensate and 1,188 MMcf/d of natural gas. An updated hedge table can be found below.

“Our 2020 Outlook balances industry competitive crude oil and condensate growth, disciplined capital allocation and highly efficient execution to generate free cash flow for the third consecutive year”, said Suttles. “In 2020, our business is well positioned for the current market volatility. Our risk management programs combined with almost complete capital flexibility give us confidence that we can generate free cash flow across a wide range of commodity outcomes and continue to return cash to our stockholders.”

Permian

Production in the Permian increased 14% over 2018 and averaged 104,800 BOE/d. Fourth quarter production averaged 112,200 BOE/d (81% liquids) with 18 net wellsturned-in-line (TILs) during the quarter.

For 2020, well costs are forecast to be 8% lower than the prior year as a result of play-leading drilling and completion performance and supply chain management. Improvedspud-to-rig release times led to five recent pacesetter wells which averaged under 11 days from spud to rig release.

Anadarko

Proforma production from the Anadarko increased 17% year-over-year to 158,300 BOE/d, of which 62% was liquids. For the fourth quarter, production averaged 163,500 BOE/d (62% liquids) and 25 net TILs.

During the year, Ovintiv doubled its initial target for well cost reductions in the play, lowering completed well costs by nearly $2 million per well. Recently, Ovintiv turned to sales four pacesetter wells at a drilling and completions cost of less than $5.2 million per well.

Montney

Liquids production grew 25% year-over-year to 52,100 bbls/d. Fourth quarter production averaged 209,100 BOE/d (25% liquids) with eight net TILs during the quarter. Ovintiv had industry leading cycle times (78 days with an average of seven wells per pad) in the Montney in 2019.

ADVISORY REGARDING OIL AND GAS INFORMATION- All estimates in this news release are effective as of December 31, 2019, prepared by qualified reserves evaluators in accordance with procedures and standards contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation (“COGE”) Handbook, National Instrument51-101 (“NI51-101”) and SEC regulations, as applicable. On February 6, 2020, Ovintiv was granted an exemption by the Canadian Securities Administrators from the requirements under NI51-101 that each qualified reserves evaluator or qualified reserves auditor appointed under section 3.2 of NI51-101 and who execute the report under Item 2 of Section 2 of NI51-101 be independent of the Company. Detailed Canadian and U.S. protocol disclosure will be contained in the Form51-101F1 and Annual Report on Form10-K, respectively. Additional detail regarding economic contingent resources will be available in the Supplemental Disclosure Document filed concurrently with the Form51-101F1. Information on the forecast prices and costs used in preparing the Canadian protocol estimates will be contained in the Form51-101F1. For additional information relating to risks associated with the estimates of reserves and resources, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on Form10-K.

Reserves are the estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date forward, based on analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data, the use of established technology, and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Proved reserves are those reserves which 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. The conversion of natural gas volumes to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) is on the basis of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel. BOE is based on a generic energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent economic value equivalency at the wellhead. Readers are cautioned that BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
