MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Baytex Energy Corp. (the "Company") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our assessment, we have concluded that as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.
The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 has been audited by KPMG LLP, the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, who also audited the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company. Financial and operating information presented throughout this Annual Report is consistent with that shown in the consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for the integrity of the financial information. Internal control systems are designed and maintained to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use and to produce reliable accounting records for financial reporting purposes.
KPMG LLP were appointed by the Company's Board of Directors to express an audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Their examination included such tests and procedures, as they considered necessary, to provide a reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly in accordance with IFRS.
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Board of Directors exercises this responsibility through the Audit Committee, with assistance from the Reserves Committee regarding the annual review of our petroleum and natural gas reserves. The Audit Committee meets regularly with management and the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to ensure that management's responsibilities are properly discharged, to review the consolidated financial statements and recommend that the consolidated financial statements be presented to the Board of Directors for approval. The Audit Committee also considers the independence of KPMG LLP and reviews their fees. The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has access to the Audit Committee without the presence of management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Baytex Energy Corp.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Baytex Energy Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 24, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Assessment of the recoverable amount of of oil and gas properties
As discussed in note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $2,247 million related to the Company’s Conventional, Peace River, Lloydminster, Duvernay, Viking and Eagle Ford cash generating units (CGUs). The Company identified indicators of impairment as of March 31, 2020 and indicators of impairment reversal as of December 31, 2020 for each of its CGUs and determined the recoverable amount as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020 of each of the CGUs. The determination of recoverable amount of a CGU involves numerous estimates, including cash flows associated with estimated proved and probable oil and gas reserves of the CGU (“CGU reserves”) and the discount rate. The estimation of proved and probable oil and gas reserves involves the expertise of independent reserves evaluators, who take into consideration assumptions related to forecasted production volumes, royalty, operating and capital costs and commodity prices (collectively “reserve assumptions”). The Company engages independent reserves evaluators to estimate CGU reserves.
We identified the assessment of the recoverable amount of each of the Company’s CGUs as a critical audit matter. Minor changes in reserve assumptions and discount rates could have had a significant impact on the estimate of recoverable amounts and the resulting impairment expense of the CGUs. A high degree of auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company’s estimates of CGU reserves, and related reserve assumptions, and the discount rates, which were inputs into the calculation of recoverable amounts. Additionally, the evaluation of these estimates required involvement of valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the critical audit matter. This included controls related to the

Company’s determination of the recoverable amount of each of the CGUs, including controls over the determination of reserve assumptions and resulting cash flows of the CGU reserves and determination of the discount rate.
We evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the independent reserves evaluators engaged by the Company. We evaluated the methodology used by the independent reserves evaluators to estimate the CGU reserves for compliance with regulatory standards. We compared the current year actual CGU production volumes, royalty, operating and capital costs to those estimates used in the prior year estimate of proved reserves by CGU to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. We assessed the forecasted commodity prices used in the estimate of the CGU reserves by comparing them to those published by other reserve engineering companies. We assessed the forecasted production volumes and forecasted royalty, operating and capital costs assumptions used in the current year estimate of the CGU reserves by comparing them to historical results. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:
•evaluating the Company’s discount rate, by comparing the discount rate against publicly available market data for comparable assets and assessing the resulting discount rate
•evaluating the Company’s estimate of the aggregate recoverable amount of all CGUs by comparing the implied enterprise value to publicly available market data.
Impact of estimated oil and gas reserves on depletion expense related to oil and gas properties
As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company depletes its oil and gas properties using the unit-of-production method by depletable area. Under such method, capitalized costs are depleted over estimated proved and probable oil and gas reserves by depletable area (“area reserves”). As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded depletion expense related to oil and gas properties of $479 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The estimation of area reserves requires the expertise of independent reserves evaluators who take into consideration reserve assumptions. The Company engages independent reserves evaluators to estimate area reserves.
We identified the assessment of the impact of estimated area reserves on depletion expense related to oil and gas properties as a critical audit matter. Changes in assumptions used to estimate area reserves could have had a significant impact on the calculation of depletion expense of the depletable area. A high degree of auditor judgment was required in evaluating the area reserves, and related reserve assumptions, which were used in the calculation of depletion expense.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the critical audit matter. This included controls related to the calculation of depletion expense and the estimation of area reserves and related reserves assumptions.
We assessed the calculation of depletion expense for compliance with regulatory standards. We evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the independent reserves evaluators engaged by the Company. We evaluated the methodology used by the independent reserves evaluators to estimate area reserves for compliance with regulatory standards. We compared 2020 actual area production volumes, royalty, operating and capital costs to those estimates used in the prior year estimate of proved reserves by area to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. We assessed the forecasted commodity prices used in the estimate of area reserves by comparing them to those published by other reserves engineering companies. We assessed the forecasted production volumes and forecasted royalty, operating and capital costs assumptions used in the estimate of area reserves by comparing them to historical results.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Baytex Energy Corp.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Baytex Energy Corp.’s (and subsidiaries’) (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 24, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Baytex Energy Corp.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
(all tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per common share amounts)
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Baytex Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Baytex”) is an oil and gas corporation engaged in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and in 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). The significant accounting policies set forth below were consistently applied to all periods presented.
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of Baytex on February 24, 2021.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, with the exception of certain fair value measurements noted in the accounting policies set forth below. 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 where otherwise indicated.
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 provision for asset retirement obligations and the provision for income taxes and the related deferred tax assets and liabilities.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"). The emergence of COVID-19 and the steps taken by governments to control the spread of the virus resulted in significant instability in the global economy and a sharp decline in demand for crude oil. This combined with the increased supply of crude oil due to the Russia and Saudi Arabia (collectively, "OPEC+") price war resulted in an unprecedented collapse in global crude oil prices and significant volatility during Q2/2020. Global crude oil prices began to recover during the second half of 2020 as Russia and members of OPEC agreed to curtail production and governments began to ease restrictions which increased demand. In Q4/2020 vaccines were approved and distribution began which fueled further optimism that demand will be restored. Vaccine approval and distribution has continued in 2021 and OPEC+ has agreed to continue production curtailments which has resulted in recent improvements in crude oil prices in 2021.
These factors have impacted our results for the year ended December 31, 2020. We recorded impairments of $2.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020 which included amounts related to our exploration and evaluation assets (note 5) and oil and gas properties (note 6). These impairments were a result of a sharp drop in forecasted prices for the commodities we produce. In the current environment, assumptions and estimates regarding future commodity prices, the amount of economically recoverable reserves, exchange rates, and interest rates are subject to greater variability than normal. Actual results may differ from these estimates as the effect of future events cannot be determined with certainty.
We took action to protect our financial liquidity in response to the volatility in commodity prices and instability in the global economy. We reduced our capital expenditures during 2020 and reduced production of oil and natural gas when commodity prices did not support economic production. As a result of these actions we maintained $367.2 million of availability on our credit facilities at December 31, 2020.
Measurement Uncertainty and Judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on all relevant information available to the Company at the time of financial statement preparation. Actual results can differ from those estimates as the effect of future events cannot be determined with certainty. The key areas of judgment or estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are discussed below.
5

Reserves
The Company uses estimates of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGL") reserves in the calculation of depletion, evaluating the recoverability of deferred income tax assets and in the determination of fair value estimates for non-financial assets. The process to estimate reserves is complex and requires significant judgment. Estimates of the Company's reserves are evaluated annually by independent reserves evaluators and represent the estimated recoverable quantities of oil, natural gas and NGL and the related net cash flows. This evaluation of reserves is prepared in accordance with the reserves definition contained in National Instrument 51-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities" and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook.
Estimates of economically recoverable oil, natural gas and NGL and their future net cash flows are based on a number of factors and assumptions. Changes to estimates and assumptions such as forward price forecasts, production rates, ultimate reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditures, production costs, marketability of oil and natural gas, royalty rates and other geological, economic and technical factors could have a significant impact on reported reserves. Changes in the Company's reserves estimates can have a significant impact on the carrying values of the Company's oil and gas properties, the calculation of depletion, the valuation of deferred income tax assets, the timing of cash flows for asset retirement obligations, asset impairments and estimates of fair value determined in accounting for business combinations.
Cash-generating Units ("CGUs")
The Company's oil and gas properties are aggregated into CGUs which are the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. The aggregation of assets in CGUs requires management judgment and is based on geographical proximity, shared infrastructure and similar exposure to market risk.
Identification of Impairment and Impairment Reversal Indicators
Judgment is required to assess when indicators of impairment or impairment reversal exist and when a calculation of the recoverable amount is required. The CGUs comprising oil and gas properties are reviewed at each reporting date to assess whether there is any indication of impairment or impairment reversal. The assessment for each CGU considers significant changes in reservoir performance including forecasted production volumes, forecasted royalty, operating, capital and abandonment and reclamation costs, forecasted oil and gas prices and the resulting cash flows from proved plus probable oil and gas reserves.
Measurement of Recoverable Amount
If indicators of impairment or impairment reversal are determined to exist, the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is calculated based on the higher of value-in-use ("VIU") and fair value less cost of disposal ("FVLCD"). These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions including cash flows associated with proved plus probable oil and gas reserves, the discount rate used to present value future cash flows and assumptions regarding the timing and amount of capital expenditures and future abandonment and reclamation obligations. Any changes to these estimates and assumptions could impact the calculation of the recoverable amount and the carrying value of assets.
Exploration and Evaluation ("E&E") Assets
Costs associated with acquiring oil and natural gas licenses and exploratory drilling are accumulated as E&E assets pending determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability. The determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability of E&E assets for the purposes of reclassifying such assets to oil and gas properties is subject to management judgment. Management uses the establishment of commercial reserves as the basis for determining technical feasibility and commercial viability. Upon determination of commercial reserves, E&E assets are tested for impairment and reclassified to oil and natural gas properties.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company's provision for asset retirement obligations is based on estimated costs to abandon and reclaim the wells and the facilities, the estimated time period during which these costs will be incurred in the future, and discount and inflation rates. The provision for asset retirement obligations represents management's best estimate of the present value of the future abandonment and reclamation costs required under current regulatory requirements. Actual abandonment and reclamation costs could be materially different from estimated amounts.
Income Taxes
Tax regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are subject to change and there are differing interpretations requiring management judgment. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is considered probable that deductible temporary differences will be recovered in future periods, which requires management

judgment. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized when it is considered probable that temporary differences will be payable to tax authorities in future periods, which requires management judgment. Income tax filings are subject to audit and re-assessment and changes in facts, circumstances and interpretations of the standards may result in a material change to the Company's provision for income taxes. Estimates of future income taxes are subject to measurement uncertainty.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Changes in Significant Accounting Policies
Business Combinations
Baytex adopted amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations effective January 1, 2020, which will be applied prospectively to acquisitions that occur on or after January 1, 2020. These amendments did not result in changes to the Company's accounting policies for applying the acquisition method but could result in future acquisitions being accounted for as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination should the criteria of the optional asset concentration test within these amendments be met.
Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies to obtain benefits from its activities. Significant subsidiaries included in the Company's accounts include Baytex Energy USA, Inc., Baytex Energy Ltd. and Baytex Energy Limited Partnership. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Many of the Company's exploration, development and production activities are conducted through joint arrangements. The consolidated financial statements include the Company's proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses generated by joint arrangements.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting when the acquired assets meet the definition of a business under IFRS. The cost of an acquisition is measured as cash paid and the fair value of assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. The acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is below the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognized as a bargain purchase gain in net income or loss. Associated transaction costs are expensed when incurred.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of light oil and condensate, heavy oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas is recognized based on the consideration specified in contracts with customers. Baytex recognizes revenue by unit of production and when control of the product transfers to the customer and collection is reasonably assured. This is generally at the point in time when the customer obtains legal title to the product which is when it is physically transferred to the pipeline or other transportation method agreed upon.
The nature of the Company's performance obligations, including roles of third parties and partners, are evaluated to determine if the Company acts as a principal. Baytex recognizes revenue on a gross basis when it acts as the principal and has primary responsibility for the transaction. Revenue is recognized on a net basis when Baytex acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as a principal.
The transaction price for variable price contracts in the Canadian and U.S. operating segments is based on a representative commodity price index, and may include adjustments for quality, location, delivery method, or other factors depending on the agreed upon terms of the contract. The amount of revenue recorded can vary depending on the grade, quality and quantities of oil or natural gas transferred to customers. Market conditions, which impact the Company's ability to negotiate certain components of the transaction price, can also cause the amount of revenue recorded to fluctuate from period to period.
Tariffs, tolls and fees charged to other entities for the use of pipelines and facilities owned by Baytex are evaluated by management to determine if these originate from contracts with customers or from incidental or collaborative arrangements. Tariffs, tolls and fees charged to other entities that are from contracts with customers are recognized in revenue when the related services are provided.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Pre-license costs, including certain geological, geophysical and seismic expenditures, are incurred before the legal rights to explore a specific area have been obtained. These costs are charged to exploration expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Once the legal right to explore has been acquired, costs directly associated with an exploration program are capitalized as an intangible asset until results of the exploration program have been evaluated. Costs capitalized as E&E assets include costs of license acquisition, technical services and studies, seismic acquisition, exploration drilling and testing of initial production results.
E&E costs are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop or otherwise extract the underlying reserves. The technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting petroleum and natural gas resources is dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves for the project. If the asset is determined not to be technically feasible or commercially viable the accumulated E&E costs associated with the exploration project are charged to E&E expense in the period the determination is made.
Upon determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability, as evidenced by the classification of proved or probable reserves and management's intention to develop the E&E asset, the accumulated costs associated with the exploration project are tested for impairment and transferred to oil and gas properties.
Oil and Gas Properties
Items of oil and gas properties are initially recorded at cost. The initial cost of oil and gas properties includes the costs to acquire developed or producing oil and gas properties, and to develop oil and gas properties, such as costs of completing geological and geophysical surveys, drilling development wells, and the costs to construct and install development infrastructure such as wellhead equipment and processing facilities.
Oil and gas properties includes costs related to planned major inspection, overhaul and turnaround activities to maintain items of oil and gas properties and benefit future years of operations. Replacements outside of a major inspection, overhaul or turnaround are recognized as oil and gas properties when it is probable the future economic benefits of the replacement will be realized by the Company. The carrying amount of any replaced or disposed item of oil and gas properties is derecognized. Repair and maintenance costs incurred for servicing an item of oil and gas properties is recorded as operating expense as incurred.
Depletion and Depreciation
The costs associated with an item of oil and gas properties are depleted on a unit-of-production basis by depletable area over proved plus probable reserves once commercial production has commenced. Future development costs required to bring those reserves into production are included in the depletable base. For purposes of the depletion calculation, petroleum and natural gas reserves are converted to a common unit of measurement on the basis of their relative energy content where six thousand cubic feet of natural gas equates to one barrel of oil equivalent.
The depreciation methods and estimated useful lives for other plant and equipment are as follows:

Classification | Method | Rate or period
Motor Vehicles | Diminishing balance | 15%
Office Equipment | Diminishing balance | 20%
Computer Hardware | Diminishing balance | 30%
Furniture and Fixtures | Diminishing balance | 10%
Leasehold Improvements | Straight-line over life of the lease | Various
Lease assets | Straight-line over the shorter of the useful life or the lease term | Various
Other Assets | Diminishing balance | Various

The expected lives of other plant and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis and, if necessary, changes in expected useful lives are accounted for prospectively.

Impairment and Impairment Reversals
Non-financial assets
The Company reviews its non-financial assets, other than E&E assets, for indicators of impairment and impairment reversal at the end of each reporting period. The recoverable amount of the asset is estimated if indicators of impairment or impairment reversal exist. E&E assets are assessed for impairment when they are reclassified to oil and gas properties and if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
When reviewing for indicators of impairment and impairment reversal, and testing for impairment or impairment reversal when indicators have been identified, assets are grouped together at a CGU level. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of its FVLCD and its VIU. The determination of recoverable amount includes estimates of proved and probable oil and gas reserves and the associated cash flows. Factors that impact these cash flows includes CGU production volumes, royalty obligations, operating costs, capital costs, forecast commodity prices, along with inflation and discount rates used to estimate present value. FVLCD is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of an asset or CGU in an arm's length transaction between willing parties. In determining FVLCD, recent market transactions are considered if available. In the absence of such transactions, an appropriate valuation model is used. VIU is assessed using the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the asset or CGU. The estimated future cash flows are adjusted for risks specific to the asset or CGU and are discounted using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money.
Where the carrying amount of a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The impairment reduces the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU first, with any remaining impairment being allocated to the individual assets in the CGU on a pro-rata basis.
Impairments may be reversed for all CGUs and individual assets, other than goodwill, when there is indication that a previously recognized impairment may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment may be reversed only to the extent that the asset’s revised carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and depletion, had no impairment been recognized. Impairment recognized in relation to goodwill is not reversed for subsequent increases in its recoverable amount.
Impairments and impairment reversals are recorded in net income or loss in the period the impairment or impairment reversal occurs.
Leases
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A lease obligation and corresponding right-of-use asset ("lease asset") are recognized at the commencement of the lease. The present value of the lease obligation is based on the future lease payments and is discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate when the rate implicit in the lease is not readily available. The Company uses a single discount rate for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. The lease asset is recognized at the amount of the lease obligation, adjusted for lease incentives received and initial direct costs, on commencement of the lease. Depreciation is recognized on the lease asset over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.
Lease payments are allocated between the liability and interest expense. Interest expense is recognized on the lease obligations using the effective interest rate method and payments are applied against the lease obligation.
Management judgement is required to determine the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease obligation. The carrying amounts of the lease assets, lease obligations, and the resulting interest and depletion and depreciation expense are based on the implicit interest rate within the lease arrangement or, if this information is unavailable, the incremental borrowing rate. Incremental borrowing rates are based on judgments including economic environment, term, and the underlying risk inherent to the asset.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes asset retirement obligations when it has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The Company’s asset retirement obligations are based on its net ownership in wells and facilities. Management estimates the costs to abandon and reclaim the wells and the facilities using existing technology and the estimated time period during which these costs will be incurred in the future.
9

Asset retirement obligations are recognized for future asset retirement costs associated with the abandonment and reclamation of the Company's E&E assets and oil and gas properties. Asset retirement obligations are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the future cash flows required to settle the present obligation, discounted using the risk-free interest rate. The present value of the liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and depleted over its useful life. The asset retirement obligation is accreted until the date of expected settlement of the retirement obligation and is recognized within finance expense in the statements of income or loss. Changes in the future cash flow estimates resulting from revisions to the estimated timing or amount of undiscounted cash flows or the discount rates are recognized as changes in the asset retirement obligation provision and related asset at each reporting date.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign transactions
Transactions completed in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated to functional currency at the period-end exchange rate. Revenue and expenses are translated to functional currency using the average exchange rate for the period. Realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from the settlement or translation of foreign currency transactions are included in net income or loss.
Foreign operations
The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Certain subsidiaries of the Company operate and transact primarily in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The designation of a subsidiary's functional currency is a management judgment based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates.
The financial statements of each entity are translated into Canadian dollars in preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities of a foreign operation are translated to Canadian dollars at the period-end exchange rate. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Canadian dollars using the average exchange rate for the period. Foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.
If the Company or any of its entities disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control, or significant influence over a foreign operation, the accumulated foreign currency translation gains or losses related to the foreign operation are recognized in net income or loss.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets are initially classified into three categories: measured at amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Financial assets are categorized based on the Company’s objective for the asset and the contractual cash flows. A financial asset is classified as amortized cost if the asset is held with the objective to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amounts outstanding. A financial asset is classified as FVOCI if the asset is held with the objective to both collect contractual cash flows and sell the financial asset. All other financial assets are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets are assessed for impairment using an expected credit loss model. Trade and other receivables are classified and measured at amortized cost.
The measurement categories for each class of financial asset and financial liability is set forth in the following table.

Financial Instrument | Classification
Cash and cash equivalents | Amortized cost
Trade and other receivables | Amortized cost
Financial derivatives | Fair value through profit or loss
Trade and other payables | Amortized cost
Credit facilities | Amortized cost
Long-term notes | Amortized cost
Lease obligations | Amortized cost

An embedded derivative is a component of a contract that modifies the cash flows of the contract. These hybrid contracts consist of a host contract and an embedded derivative. The embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative unless the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are closely related to the host contract. The embedded derivatives are measured at FVTPL.
10

Debt issuance costs related to the amendment of our credit facilities or the issuance of long term notes are capitalized and amortized as financing costs over the term of the credit facilities or long term notes. For a financial asset or a financial liability carried at amortized cost, transaction costs directly attributable to acquiring or issuing the asset or liability are added to, or deducted from, the fair value on initial recognition and amortized through net income or loss over the term of the financial instrument. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or a financial liability classified as FVTPL are expensed at inception of the contract.
The Company formally documents its risk management objectives and strategies to manage exposures to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The risk management policy permits the use of certain derivative financial instruments, including swaps and collars, to manage these fluctuations. All transactions of this nature entered into by the Company are related to underlying financial instruments or future petroleum and natural gas production. These instruments are classified as FVTPL. The Company does not use financial derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company has not designated its financial derivative contracts as effective accounting hedges, and therefore has not applied hedge accounting. As a result, the Company applies the fair value method of accounting for all derivative instruments by recording an asset or liability on the statements of financial position and recognizing changes in the fair value of the instrument in the statements of income or loss for the current period. The fair values of these instruments are based on quoted market prices or, in their absence, third-party market indications and forecasts. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in net income or loss when incurred.
The Company has accounted for its physical delivery sales contracts, which were entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of receipt or delivery of non-financial items in accordance with its expected purchase, sale or usage requirements as executory contracts. As such, these contracts are not considered to be derivative financial instruments and have not been recorded at fair value on the statements of financial position. Settlements on these physical delivery sales contracts are recognized in revenue in the period the product is delivered to the sales point.
Impairment of financial assets is determined by calculating the expected credit loss ("ECL"). The Company measures an ECL allowance for trade and other receivables. The Company determines the ECL which is the probability of default events related to the financial asset by using historical realized bad debts and forward looking information. The carrying amounts of financial assets are reduced by the amount of the ECL through an allowance account and losses are recognized in the statement of income or loss.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Baytex classifies the fair value of financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instruments:
•Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3: Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Income Taxes
Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in net income or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred taxes are also recognized directly in equity.
Current income taxes for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recoverable from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted at the end of the reporting period. The Company recognizes the financial statement impact of a tax filing position when it is probable that the position will be sustained upon audit. The liability is measured based on an assessment of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities.
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded for the effect of any temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable income. Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all temporary differences deductible to the extent future recovery is probable. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred income taxes are calculated using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates. Deferred income tax balances are adjusted for any changes in the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and the adjustment is recognized in the period that the rate change occurs.

Share-based Compensation Plans
The Company has a full-value award plan (the "Share Award Incentive Plan") pursuant to which restricted awards and performance awards (collectively, "share awards") may be granted to the directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of common shares issuable under the Share Award Incentive Plan (and any other long-term incentive plans of the Company) shall not at any time exceed 3.8% of the then-issued and outstanding common shares.
Each restricted award entitles the holder to be issued the number of common shares designated in the restricted award (plus dividend equivalents). Each performance award entitles the holder to be issued the number of common shares designated in the performance award (plus dividend equivalents) multiplied by a payout multiplier. Expenses related to the Share Award Incentive Plan are determined based on the fair value of the share awards on the grant date which is based on quoted market prices for the Company's common shares. Both restricted and performance awards are expensed over the vesting period using the graded vesting method, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. The payout multiplier is dependent on the performance of the Company relative to predefined corporate performance measures for a particular period. In the case of both restricted and performance awards, the number of common shares to be issued on the applicable issue date is adjusted to account for the payments of dividends from the grant date to the applicable issue date.
The Company has a cash-settled incentive award plan (the "Incentive Award Plan") pursuant to which incentive awards may be granted to officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Each incentive award entitles the holder 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.

At March 31, 2020, the Company identified indicators of impairment for the exploration and evaluation assets within each of its six CGUs. The estimated recoverable amount was below the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets in the Conventional, Peace River, Lloydminster, Viking and Eagle Ford CGUs and an impairment of $127.9 million was recorded as at March 31, 2020. The recoverable amount of each CGU was based on its FVLCD and was estimated with reference to arm's length transaction in comparable locations and the discounted cash flows associated with the Company's future development plans. The following table indicates the impairment booked for each CGU at March 31, 2020.

Baytex recorded total impairments related to oil and gas properties of $2.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $180.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
At March 31, 2020, the Company identified indicators of impairment for each of its six CGUs due to a significant decline in forecasted commodity prices. The recoverable amount was not sufficient to support the carrying amount which resulted in an impairment of $2.6 billion recorded at March 31, 2020. The recoverable amount of 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, 2019 and was adjusted for operations between December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. The after-tax discount rates applied to the cash flows were between 8% and 14%.
The recoverable amount of the Company's CGUs were calculated at March 31, 2020 using the following benchmark reference prices for the years 2020 to 2029 adjusted for commodity differentials specific to the Company. The prices and costs subsequent to 2029 have been adjusted for inflation at an annual rate of 2%.

At December 31, 2020, the Company estimated the recoverable amount of each of its six CGUs due to the volatility in commodity prices during the year and a reduction in future development costs per well for the Viking and Eagle Ford CGUs. The recoverable amount supported the carrying amount for the Conventional, Peace River, Lloydminster, and Duvernay CGUs and no impairment or impairment reversal was recorded. The recoverable amount for the Viking and Eagle Ford CGUs exceeded their carrying amounts which resulted in an impairment reversal of $341.3 million recorded at December 31, 2020. 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. The after-tax discount rates applied to the cash flows were between 10% and 17%.
The recoverable amount of the Company's CGUs were calculated at December 31, 2020 using the following benchmark reference prices for the years 2021 to 2030 adjusted for commodity differentials specific to the Company.

8. CREDIT FACILITIES

| December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019
Credit facilities - U.S. dollar denominated (1) | $ | 140,815 |  | $ | 206,144 |
Credit facilities - Canadian dollar denominated | 510,358 |  | 300,327 |
Credit facilities - principal (2) | $ | 651,173 |  | $ | 506,471 |
Unamortized debt issuance costs | (1,952) |  | (1,059) |
Credit facilities | $ | 649,221 |  | $ | 505,412 |

(1)U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities balance was US$110.4 million as at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - US$159.0 million).
(2)The increase in the principal amount of the credit facilities outstanding from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020 is the result of net draws of $145.0 million and a decrease in the reported amount of U.S. denominated debt of $0.3 million due to foreign exchange.
Baytex has 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 March 3, 2020, Baytex amended its Credit Facilities to extend maturity from April 2, 2021 to April 2, 2024. These facilities will automatically be extended to June 4, 2024 providing Baytex has either refinanced, or has the ability to repay, the outstanding 2024 long-term notes with existing credit capacity as of April 1, 2024.
17

The extendible secured Revolving Facilities are comprised of a US$50 million operating loan and a US$325 million syndicated revolving loan for Baytex and a US$200 million syndicated revolving loan for Baytex's wholly-owned subsidiary, Baytex Energy USA, Inc. The $300 million Term Loan is secured by the assets of Baytex's wholly-owned subsidiary, Baytex Energy Limited Partnership.
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 Baytex's 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 London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR"), plus applicable margins.
The LIBOR benchmark will no longer be published after December 31, 2021. We expect the LIBOR benchmark to be replaced with an alternative that will apply to our U.S. dollar borrowing at our option. We do not expect this change to have a material impact to Baytex as U.S. dollar borrowings under the credit facilities can also bear interest at the U.S. base loan rate.
At December 31, 2020, Baytex had $15.0 million of outstanding letters of credit (December 31, 2019 - $15.2 million) under the Credit Facilities.
At December 31, 2020, Baytex was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Facilities and is forecasting compliance with these covenants based on current forward prices. The following table summarizes the financial covenants applicable to the Revolving Facilities and Baytex's compliance therewith as at December 31, 2020.

Covenant Description | Position as at December 31, 2020 | Covenant
Senior Secured Debt (1) to Bank EBITDA (2) (Maximum Ratio) | 1.6:1.0 | 3.5:1.0
Interest Coverage (3) (Minimum Ratio) | 3.9:1.0 | 2.0:1.0

(1)"Senior Secured Debt" is defined as the principal amount of the credit facilities and other secured obligations identified in the credit agreement. As at December 31, 2020, the Company's Senior Secured Debt totaled $666.2 million which includes $651.2 million of principal amounts outstanding and $15.0 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 (including depletion, depreciation, exploration and evaluation expenses, impairment, deferred income tax expense or recovery, unrealized gains and losses on financial derivatives and foreign exchange and share-based compensation) 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 December 31, 2020 was $414.9 million.
(3)"Interest coverage" is computed as the ratio of Bank EBITDA to financing and interest expense, excluding accretion of debt issue costs and asset retirement obligations, and is calculated on a trailing twelve month basis. Financing and interest expenses, excluding accretion of debt issue costs and asset retirement obligations, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 were $106.1 million.
9. LONG-TERM NOTES

Total long-term notes - principal (1) | $ | 1,147,950 |  | $ | 1,337,200 |
Unamortized debt issuance costs | (15,082) |  | (9,025) |
Total long-term notes - net of unamortized debt issuance costs | $ | 1,132,868 |  | $ | 1,328,175 |

(1)The decrease in the principal amount of long-term notes outstanding from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020 is the result of principal repayments of $830.4 million, the issuance of $664.7 million aggregate principal amount and changes in the reported amount of U.S. denominated debt of $23.6 million.
On February 5, 2020, Baytex issued US$500 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2027 bearing interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum payable semi-annually (the "8.75% Senior Notes"). The 8.75% Senior Notes are redeemable at Baytex's option, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices after April 1, 2023 and will be redeemable at par from April 1, 2026 to maturity. Transaction costs of $12.5 million were incurred in conjunction with the issuance which resulted in net proceeds of $652.2 million.
On February 20, 2020, Baytex used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 8.75% Senior Notes to complete the early redemption of the US$400 million principal amount of the 5.125% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 2021 at par plus accrued interest. The principal payment was $530.4 million.

On March 5, 2020, Baytex completed the early redemption of the $300 million principal amount of the 6.625% senior unsecured notes due July 19, 2022 at 101.104% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The principal payment was $300.0 million plus early redemption expense of $3.3 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.

(1)Baytex received $2.1 million of government grants from the Governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The grants were used to abandon and reclaim well sites which reduced our assets retirement obligations and was included in other income.
(2)Changes in the estimated costs, the timing of abandonment and reclamation and the status of wells are factors resulting in a change in estimate.
At December 31, 2020, the undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to settle the asset retirement obligations is $721.0 million (December 31, 2019 - $714.8 million). The discounted amount of estimated cash flow required to settle the asset retirement obligations at December 31, 2020, calculated using an estimated inflation rate of 1.5% (December 31, 2019 - 1.4%) and a risk free discount rate of 1.2% (December 31, 2019 - 1.8%), is $760.4 million (December 31, 2019 - $668.0 million). These costs are expected to be incurred over the next 60 years.
11. 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. As at December 31, 2020, 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 meetings 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.

12. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company recorded compensation expense related to the share awards of $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 ($15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019) which includes $2.3 million of cash compensation expense related to the incentive award plan and the associated equity total return swaps.
Share Award Plans
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.
The weighted average fair value of share awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1.48 per restricted and performance award (December 31, 2019 - $2.63).
The number of share awards outstanding is detailed below:

(000s) | Number of restricted awards | Number of performance awards(1) | Total number of share awards
Balance, December 31, 2018 | 3,243 |  | 3,273 |  | 6,516 |

(1)Based on underlying awards before applying the payout multiplier which can range from 0x to 2x.
Incentive Award Plan
Baytex has a cash-settled 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.
The Company uses equity total return swaps ("Equity TRS") on the equivalent number of Baytex common shares in order to fix the aggregate cost of the Incentive Award plan at the fair value determined on the grant date. The carrying value of the financial derivatives includes the fair value of the Equity TRS which was a liability of $1.1 million on December 31, 2020.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, Baytex granted 2.9 million awards under the Incentive Award plan at a fair value of $1.50 per award.
Share Options
Baytex assumed share option plans pursuant to a business combination in 2018. No new grants will be made under the option plans. At December 31, 2020, 0.3 million share options were outstanding with a weighted average remaining life of 0.3 years and a weighted average exercise price of $5.40 (December 31, 2019 - 2.5 million options with a weighted average exercise price of $6.83).
13. 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 and share options were converted to common shares. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of share awards and share options whereby the potential conversion of share awards and share options 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 year.

(1)On October 20, 2020 the Alberta government enacted legislation to decrease the corporate income tax rate from 10% to 8% effective July 1, 2020.
At December 31, 2020, a deferred tax asset of $469.7 million remains unrecognized due to uncertainty surrounding future commodity prices and future capital gains (December 31, 2019 - $28.0 million). These deferred income tax assets relate to deductible temporary differences of $854.2 million, capital losses of $237.9 million and non-capital losses of $1,015.2 million, which expire from 2034 to 2040.
21

In June 2016, certain indirect subsidiary entities received reassessments from the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) that denied $591 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.
On April 7, 2020, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS published final regulations addressing “anti-hybrid” rules under section 267A of the U.S. tax code and thus became substantially enacted. Pursuant to these regulations, the Company is no longer entitled to certain tax benefits previously recognized during 2019. Accordingly, a charge against deferred income taxes in the amount of $19.8 million was recorded in 2020.
A continuity of the net deferred income tax liability is detailed in the following tables:

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 subsidiary are recognized in unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss whereas those within the U.S. subsidiary are recognized in other comprehensive income.
18. 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 carrying value of cash, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximates their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments. 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 fair value of financial derivatives is measured with reference to quoted market prices, estimated of future volatility and interest rates available at period end.
23

The carrying value and fair value of the Company's financial instruments carried on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified into the following categories:

Financial Risk
Baytex is exposed to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Company's process to mitigate these risks is described below.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial assets or liabilities will fluctuate due to movements in market prices. Market risk is comprised of foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
Baytex is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as a result of the U.S. dollar portion of its credit facilities, long-term notes, intercompany notes, crude oil sales based on U.S. dollar benchmark prices and commodity financial derivative contracts that are settled in U.S. dollars. The Company's net income or loss, comprehensive income or loss and cash flow will therefore be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
To manage the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the Company may enter into agreements to fix the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any currency derivative contracts outstanding.
A $0.01 increase or decrease in the CAD/USD foreign exchange rate on the revaluation of outstanding U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities, would impact net income or loss before income taxes by approximately $1.8 million.
24

The carrying amounts of the Company’s U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities recorded in entities with a Canadian dollar functional currency at the reporting date are as follows:

| Assets | Liabilities
| December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019
U.S. dollar denominated | US$759,508 |  | US$8,733 |  | US$934,731 |  | US$841,961

Interest Rate Risk
The Company's interest rate risk arises from borrowing at floating rates under the Revolving Facilities and Term Loan (note 8). Based on the principal outstanding on the Credit Facilities, as at December 31, 2020, a change of 100 basis points in interest rates would have an impact on net income or loss before income taxes of approximately $6.5 million.
Commodity Price Risk
Baytex utilizes financial derivative contracts or physical delivery contracts to manage the risk associated with changes in commodity prices. The use of derivatives is governed by a Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors of Baytex which sets out limits on the use of derivatives. Baytex does not use financial derivatives for speculative purposes. Baytex's financial derivative contracts are subject to master netting agreements that create a legally enforceable right to offset by the counterparty the related financial assets and financial liabilities.
When assessing the potential impact of crude oil price changes on the crude oil financial derivative contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2020, a US$1.00/bbl change in the underlying benchmark crude oil prices would impact net income or loss before income taxes by approximately $18.9 million.
When assessing the potential impact of natural gas price changes on the financial derivative contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2020, a US$0.25 change in the underlying benchmark natural gas prices would impact net income or loss before income taxes by approximately $4.6 million.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Baytex will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Baytex manages its liquidity risk through cash and debt management. Such strategies include monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities, available credit under existing banking arrangements, opportunities to issue additional common shares as well as reducing capital expenditures.
As at December 31, 2020, Baytex had available unused credit facilities in the amount of $367.2 million (December 31, 2019 - $523.8 million).

(1)At December 31, 2019, the credit facilities were set to mature on April 2, 2021. On March 3, 2020, Baytex amended the credit facilities to extend maturity to April 2, 2024 which will automatically be extended to June 4, 2024 providing the Company has either refinanced or has the ability to repay the outstanding 2024 long-term notes with existing credit capacity as of April 1, 2024.
(2)Principal amount of instruments. On February 5, 2020, Baytex issued US$500 million principal amount of 8.75% senior unsecured notes due 2027. On February 20, 2020 Baytex completed the redemption of the US$400 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2021 and, on March 5, 2020, completed the redemption of $300 million principal amount of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (note 9).
(3)Excludes interest on credit facilities as interest payments on credit facilities fluctuate based on amounts outstanding and the prevailing interest rate at the time of borrowing.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial asset will default resulting in Baytex incurring a loss. As at December 31, 2020, the Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its trade and other receivables and financial derivatives. Baytex manages these risks through the selection and monitoring of credit-worthy counterparties.
Most of the Company's trade and other receivables relate to petroleum and natural gas sales. Baytex reviews its exposure to individual entities on a regular basis and manages its credit risk by entering into sales contracts after reviewing the creditworthiness of the entity. Letters of credit or parental guarantees may be obtained prior to the commencement of business with certain counterparties. Credit risk may also arise from financial derivative instruments. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The Company considers all financial assets that are not impaired or past due to be of good credit quality.
The majority of the Company's credit exposure on trade and other receivables at December 31, 2020 relates to accrued revenues. Accounts receivable from purchasers of the Company's petroleum and natural gas sales are typically collected on the 25th day of the month following production. Joint interest receivables are typically collected within one to three months following production. Included in trade and other receivables at December 31, 2020 is $81.3 million (December 31, 2019 - $138.0 million) of accrued petroleum and natural gas sales.
Should the Company determine that the ultimate collection of a receivable is in doubt, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables is reduced by adjusting the allowance for doubtful accounts and a charge to net income or loss. If the Company subsequently determines the accounts receivable is uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts are adjusted accordingly. As at December 31, 2020, allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.0 million (December 31, 2019 - $1.6 million).
In determining whether amounts past due are collectible, the Company will assess the nature of the past due amounts as well as the credit worthiness and past payment history of the counterparty. As at December 31, 2020, accounts receivable that Baytex has deemed past due (more than 90 days) but not impaired was $1.6 million (December 31, 2019 - $2.7 million). Baytex has estimated the lifetime expected credit loss as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 to be nominal.
The Company's trade and other receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, were aged as follows at December 31, 2020.

Trade and Other Receivables Aging | December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019
Current (less than 30 days) | $ | 104,210 |  | $ | 169,500 |
31-60 days | 1,493 |  | 1,199 |
61-90 days | 220 |  | 342 |
Past due (more than 90 days) | 1,554 |  | 2,721 |

22. 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 December 31, 2020, 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.
During 2020, Baytex took additional action to protect financial liquidity in response to lower oil prices and the global economic instability related to COVID-19. The Company's 2020 exploration and development expenditures were reduced by moderating the pace of activity in the U.S. and suspending drilling and completion operations in Canada. Certain high cost, low margin, production was shut-in for a portion of 2020 when netbacks were challenged by low commodity prices. Baytex remains committed to cost saving initiatives which resulted in lower operating expenses and general administrative costs during 2020.
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 Company's adjusted funds flow depends on a number of factors, including commodity prices, production and sales volumes, royalties, operating expenses, taxes and foreign exchange rates. 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.
At December 31, 2020, Baytex was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Facilities and had unused capacity of $367.2 million (December 31, 2019 - $523.8 million).
Baytex considers adjusted funds flow a key measure that provides a more complete understanding of operating performance and the Company's ability to generate funds for exploration and development expenditures, debt repayment, settlement of abandonment obligations and potential future dividends. Baytex eliminates settlements of abandonment obligations from cash flow from operations as the amounts can be discretionary and may vary from period to period depending on the Company's capital programs and the maturity of its operating areas. The settlement of abandonment obligations are managed through the capital budgeting process which considers available adjusted funds flow. Changes in non-cash working capital are eliminated in the determination of adjusted funds flow as the timing of collection, payment and incurrence is variable and by excluding them from the calculation Baytex is able to provide a more meaningful measure of cash flow on a continuing basis.
Adjusted funds flow should not be construed as an alternative to performance measures determined in accordance with IFRS, such as cash flow from operating activities and net income or loss.
Adjusted funds flow does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. It is reconciled to the nearest measure determined in accordance with IFRS, cash flow from operating activities, as set forth below.

| Years Ended December 31
| 2020 | 2019
Cash flow from operating activities | $ | 353,096 |  | $ | 834,939 |
Change in non-cash working capital | (48,758) |  | 52,070 |
Asset retirement obligations settled | 7,168 |  | 15,417 |
Adjusted funds flow | $ | 311,506 |  | $ | 902,426 |

The Company believes that net debt assists in providing a more complete understanding of its financial position and provides a key measure to assess liquidity. Net debt is calculated based on the principal amounts of the credit facilities and long-term notes outstanding, including trade and other payables, cash, and trade and other receivables. The principal amounts of the credit facilities and long-term notes outstanding are used in the calculation of net debt as these amounts represent the Company's total repayment obligation at maturity. The carrying amount of debt issue costs associated with the credit facilities and long-term notes are excluded on the basis that these amounts have already been paid by Baytex at inception of the contract and do not represent an additional source of liquidity or repayment obligation.
Net debt does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measure for other entities. The computation of net debt is set forth below.
