NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(tabular amounts in millions of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated, unaudited)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Canadian Natural Resources Limited (the "Company") is a senior independent crude oil and natural gas exploration, development and production company. The Company's exploration and production operations are focused in North America, largely in Western Canada; the United Kingdom portion of the North Sea; and Côte d'Ivoire in Offshore Africa.

The Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment produces synthetic crude oil through bitumen mining and upgrading operations at Horizon Oil Sands ("Horizon") and through the Company's direct and indirect interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project ("AOSP").

Within Western Canada in the Midstream and Refining segment, the Company maintains certain activities that include pipeline operations, an electricity co-generation system and an investment in the North West Redwater Partnership ("NWRP"), a general partnership formed to upgrade and refine bitumen in the Province of Alberta.

The Company was incorporated in Alberta, Canada. The address of its registered office is 2100, 855 - 2 Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

These interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", following the same accounting policies as the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2024. These interim consolidated financial statements contain disclosures that are supplemental to the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements. Certain disclosures normally required to be included in the notes to the annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company revised its presentation of transportation expense and blending and feedstock costs, showing the expenses on a disaggregated basis in the consolidated statements of earnings. Previously the Company aggregated transportation, blending and feedstock costs. The revision provides users with more information to evaluate the Company's performance. The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been updated for all periods presented.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a long-term natural gas supply agreement that contains an embedded derivative (note 13). Embedded derivatives are derivatives that are included in a non-derivative host contract. Embedded derivatives are recorded at fair value separately from the host contract when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to the host contract, except when the host contract is an asset.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Company has made estimates, assumptions, and judgements regarding certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements, primarily related to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, including uncertainties around US imposed tariffs, and actual or potential Canadian countermeasures, both of which continue to evolve. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, these trade actions caused market uncertainty and impacted the global economy, including the oil and gas industry. The Company has taken into account the impacts of the trade actions and the unique circumstances they have created in making estimates, assumptions, and judgements in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements and continues to monitor the developments in the business environment and commodity market. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts, and those differences may be material.

(1)An asset is derecognized when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from its continued use.

Canadian Natural Resources Limited 6 Three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company acquired a number of producing and non-producing crude oil and NGLs, and natural gas assets in the North America Exploration and Production segment. These transactions were accounted for using the business combination method of accounting and are summarized below.

Grande Prairie NGLs and Natural Gas Acquisition

In July 2025, the Company acquired certain producing and non-producing NGLs and natural gas assets in the Grande Prairie area in the North America Exploration and Production segment for cash consideration of $752 million, subject to final closing adjustments. Net assets acquired include exploration and evaluation assets of $36 million, property, plant and equipment of $733 million, and other assets of $3 million. The Company also assumed associated asset retirement obligations of $20 million. No net deferred tax liabilities were recognized on this transaction.

Palliser Block Crude Oil and NGLs, and Natural Gas Acquisition

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company acquired certain producing and non-producing crude oil and NGLs, and natural gas assets in the Palliser Block in the North America Exploration and Production segment, including exploration and evaluation assets of $119 million, property, plant and equipment of $457 million, net working capital of $76 million, deferred income tax assets of $80 million, and assumed asset retirement obligations of $350 million. Total cash consideration was approximately $302 million and is subject to final closing adjustments. The Company recognized a gain on acquisition of $80 million, representing the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired compared to total purchase consideration.

Pro Forma Information

As a result of the Grande Prairie acquisition, revenue increased by approximately $80 million and net operating income (comprised of revenue less production and transportation expense) increased by approximately $40 million for the third quarter of 2025. Including the impact of depletion, depreciation and amortization, earnings before tax increased by approximately $10 million for the third quarter of 2025.

As a result of the Palliser Block acquisition, revenue increased by approximately $143 million and net operating income (comprised of revenue less production and transportation expenses) increased by approximately $72 million for the third quarter of 2025. Including the impact of depletion, depreciation and amortization, earnings before tax increased by approximately $27 million for the third quarter of 2025.

If the Grande Prairie and Palliser Block acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2025, the Company estimates that pro forma revenue would have increased by approximately $739 million and pro forma net operating income (comprised of revenue less production and transportation expenses) would have increased by approximately $396 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Including the impact of depletion, depreciation and amortization, the Company estimates earnings before taxes would have increased by approximately $188 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Readers are cautioned that pro forma estimates are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisitions actually occurred on January 1, 2025, or of future results. Pro forma results are based on historical information and reflect actual production in the period available for the assets as provided to the Company and do not include any synergies that have or may arise subsequent to the acquisition dates.

Other Acquisitions

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company also acquired a number of producing and non-producing crude oil and NGLs, and natural gas assets comprised of exploration and evaluation assets of $17 million, property, plant and equipment of $100 million, and assumed asset retirement and other obligations of $51 million for total cash consideration of $66 million.

Completion of Shell Swap Transaction

On November 1, 2025, subsequent to the third quarter of 2025, the Company completed the AOSP asset swap with Shell Canada Limited and affiliates (“Shell”). As a result of the transaction, the Company acquired the remaining 10% interest in the AOSP mines, associated reserves and additional working interests in a number of other non-producing oil sands leases in exchange for a 10% working interest in the Scotford Upgrader and Quest Carbon Capture and Storage (“Quest”) facilities. The Company now owns and operates 100% of the AOSP mines and retains a non-operated 80% working interest in the Scotford Upgrader and Quest. The transaction is effective March 1, 2025, and does not include any exchange of cash, except in respect to regular closing adjustments. As a result of the Company obtaining control of the AOSP mines, the swap is subject to accounting requirements for business combinations achieved in stages. The purchase price accounting will reflect the Company's revised interest in the assets and liabilities of the AOSP mines, the Scotford Upgrader and Quest. The Company is in the process of reviewing commercial agreements and obligations acquired in addition to the fair values of its existing and acquired interest.

Canadian Natural Resources Limited 7 Three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

North Sea Abandonment Activities

The Company is progressing its abandonment and decommissioning activities in the North Sea, including the tendering and awarding of contracts for the Ninian South Platform. Following a competitive bidding process in 2025, cost estimates have come in higher than originally budgeted. As a result, the Company has reviewed and updated estimates for abandonment and decommissioning costs for its North Sea assets, including the Ninian Central and South Platforms and T‑Block (comprising the Tiffany, Toni, and Thelma fields).

In addition, based on current and forecasted economic conditions, including commodity pricing and market egress for T‑Block volumes, the Company has determined that the T-Block assets are no longer economically viable. The Company is assessing alternatives for the potential acceleration of the T‑Block decommissioning plan.

As a result, at September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $695 million, comprised of additional abandonment costs for the Ninian field of $734 million, net of deferred tax recoveries of $359 million, and an additional charge of $524 million for T‑Block, net of deferred tax recoveries of $204 million, relating to current and forecasted economic conditions. The Company's estimate of its asset retirement obligations, including its long-term abandonment projects in the North Sea and associated tax recoveries, are subject to revision in future periods as abandonment activities progress.

11. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Company has defined its capital to mean its long-term debt and consolidated shareholders' equity, as determined at each reporting date.

The Company's objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility and balance to enable the Company to access capital markets to sustain its on-going operations and growth strategies. The Company primarily monitors capital on the basis of an internally derived financial measure referred to as its "debt to book capitalization ratio", which is the ratio of current and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by the sum of the carrying value of shareholders' equity plus current and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. The Company's internal targeted range for its debt to book capitalization ratio is 25% to 45%. The ratio may fall below or exceed the targeted range depending on the execution of the Company's capital program, commodity price and foreign currency volatility, and the timing of acquisitions. As at September 30, 2025, the ratio was within the target range at 29.8%.

Readers are cautioned that the debt to book capitalization ratio is not defined by IFRS and this financial measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Further, there are no assurances that the Company will continue to use this measure to monitor capital or will not alter the method of calculation of this measure in the future.

Long-term debt						$	17,268					$	18,819
Less: cash and cash equivalents						113						131

Total shareholders' equity						$	40,461					$	39,468
Debt to book capitalization						29.8%						32.1%

The Company is subject to a financial covenant that requires debt to book capitalization as defined in its credit facility agreements to not exceed 65%. As at September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, risk management assets and liabilities, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, and long-term debt. These financial instruments, with the exception of risk management assets and liabilities are classified as financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost. Risk management assets and liabilities are classified as derivatives held for trading, cash flow hedges, or embedded derivatives.

The estimated fair values of derivative financial instruments in Level 2 and Level 3 at each measurement date have been determined based on appropriate internal valuation methodologies and/or third party indications, including quoted forward prices for commodities, foreign exchange rates, interest yield curves, and other volatility factors.

The changes in estimated fair values of derivative financial instruments included in the risk management asset (liability) were recognized in the financial statements as follows:

Asset (liability)						Sep 30 2025						Dec 31 2024
Balance – beginning of period						$	5					$	9

(1)Risk management assets and liabilities are disclosed in note 5 and note 7, respectively.

(2)In the third quarter of 2025, the Company entered into fixed price financial contracts to buy 12,500 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$1.30 AECO for the period of August to December 2025, and 25,000 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$2.16 AECO for the period of January to December 2026.

(3)In the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a long-term natural gas supply agreement that contains an embedded derivative.

(4)In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company entered into fixed price financial contracts to buy 12,500 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$1.47 AECO, and 25,000 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$1.82 AECO for the period of January to December 2025.

(5)In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into fixed price financial contracts to buy 50,000 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$1.82 AECO for the period of January to December 2024.

Net loss (gain) from risk management activities was as follows:

			Three Months Ended																		Nine Months Ended
						Sep 30 2025						Sep 30 2024									Sep 30 2025						Sep 30 2024

Net unrealized risk management loss						160						—									148						13
						$	214					$	(21)								$	86					$	35

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximated their fair value, except for fixed rate long-term debt. The Company's financial instruments are categorized as Level 1 with the exception of risk management assets and liabilities, which are categorized as Level 2, and embedded derivatives, which are categorized as Level 3. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2, and 3 financial instruments. The fair values of the Company's fixed rate long-term debt is outlined below:

Canadian Natural Resources Limited 15 Three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

Embedded Derivative Contract

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a long-term natural gas supply agreement to supply 140,000 MMBtu/d of natural gas for a term of 15 years, with delivery anticipated to begin in 2030, subject to a number of conditions precedent including a positive final investment decision by the counterparty. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will deliver natural gas to its counterparty in Illinois, USA and receive a Japan Korea Marker ("JKM") index price less deductions for transportation and liquefaction. The contract includes an embedded derivative as a result of the pricing structure, and the host contract is the natural gas sales agreement with a Chicago Citygate price.

The natural gas embedded derivative contract is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow which incorporates significant unobservable inputs, including future natural gas pricing, a probability factor, and a discount rate.

The Company recognizes a (gain) loss on risk management activities in the statements of earnings related to its natural gas embedded derivative. The (gain) loss is determined by the relative movements in fair value compared to the prior period balance sheet date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $145 million and a corresponding risk management liability.

The Level 3 fair value measurements of the embedded derivative could be materially impacted by a change in the discount rate, probability factor, and movements in natural gas prices. The following table summarizes the impacts to the fair value of the embedded derivative resulting from changes in the specified variable over the 15-year contract. These sensitivities are theoretical, as changes in one variable may contribute to changes in another variable, which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

($ millions)						Sep 30, 2025
JKM price
Increase / decrease of US$0.10/MMBtu						38 / (38)

Financial Risk Factors

The Company's financial risks are consistent with those discussed in notes 1, 4 and 19 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company's market risk is comprised of commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Commodity price risk management

The Company periodically uses commodity derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk associated with the sale of its future crude oil and natural gas production and with natural gas purchases. These financial instruments are entered into solely for hedging purposes and are not used for speculative purposes.

Interest rate risk management

The Company is exposed to interest rate price risk on its fixed rate long-term debt and to interest rate cash flow risk on its floating rate long-term debt. As at September 30, 2025, the Company had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk management

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in Canada primarily related to its US dollar denominated long-term debt, commercial paper, and working capital. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk on transactions conducted in other currencies and in the carrying value of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts, foreign exchange options contracts, SOFR loans, and commercial paper to mitigate its foreign currency exchange rate risk.

As at September 30, 2025, the Company had US$2,624 million of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding (December 31, 2024 – US$2,187 million), with original terms of up to 90 days, of which US$1,500 million were designated as derivatives held for trading (December 31, 2024 – US$1,521 million) and US$1,124 million were designated as cash flow hedges (December 31, 2024 – US$666 million).

Canadian Natural Resources Limited 16 Three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

As at September 30, 2025, the Company had no foreign currency put option contracts outstanding. The Company periodically sells put option contracts which grant the purchaser the right, but not the obligation to exercise the contract on the expiry date (European option) and are designated as derivatives held for trading. The amount that may be payable upon exercise is initially recognized as a liability valued at the amount paid by the counterparty. The option is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date with gains and losses recognized in risk management activities in net earnings. If the option expires unexercised, the remaining liability is derecognized.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the Company by failing to discharge an obligation.

Counterparty credit risk management

The Company's accounts receivable are mainly with customers in the crude oil and natural gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. The Company manages these risks by reviewing its exposure to individual companies on a regular basis and, where appropriate, ensuring that parental guarantees or letters of credit are in place to minimize the impact in the event of default. As at September 30, 2025, substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable were due within normal trade terms.

The Company is also exposed to possible losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments; however, the Company manages this credit risk by entering into agreements with counterparties that are substantially all investment grade financial institutions. The carrying amount of financial assets approximates the maximum credit exposure.

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

Management of liquidity risk requires the Company to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents, along with other sources of capital, consisting primarily of cash flow from operating activities, available credit facilities, commercial paper and access to debt capital markets, to meet obligations as they become due. The Company believes it has adequate bank credit facilities to provide liquidity to manage fluctuations in the timing of the receipt and/or disbursement of operating cash flows.

As at September 30, 2025, the maturity dates of the Company's financial liabilities were as follows:

						Less than 1 year						1 to less than 2 years						2 to less than 5 years						Thereafter
Accounts payable						$	1,326					$	—					$	—					$	—

Interest and other financing expense (3)						$	966					$	938					$	1,634					$	3,114

(1)Long-term debt represents principal repayments only and does not reflect interest, original issue discounts and premiums or transaction costs.

(2)Lease payments included within other long-term liabilities reflect principal payments only and are as follows; less than one year, $224 million; one to less than two years, $175 million; two to less than five years, $417 million; and thereafter, $634 million.

(3)Includes interest and other financing expense on long-term debt and other long-term liabilities. Payments were estimated based upon applicable interest and foreign exchange rates as at September 30, 2025.

(2)Pursuant to the processing agreements, the Company pays its 25% pro rata share of the debt component of the monthly fee-for-service toll. Included in the toll is $1,882 million of interest payable over the 40-year tolling period, ending in 2058 (note 5).

In addition to the commitments disclosed above, the Company has entered into various agreements related to the engineering, procurement, and construction of its various development projects. These contracts can be cancelled by the Company upon notice without penalty, subject to the costs incurred up to and in respect of the cancellation.
