Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(All tabular amounts are in CAD millions except numbers of common shares, per share amounts,

percentages and various figures in Note 10)

1. Structure of Obsidian Energy

Obsidian Energy Ltd. (“Obsidian Energy” or the “Company”) is an exploration and production company and is governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. The Company operates in one segment, to explore for, develop and hold interests in oil and natural gas properties and related production infrastructure in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin directly and through investments in securities of subsidiaries holding such interests. Obsidian Energy’s portfolio of assets is managed at an enterprise level, rather than by separate operating segments or business units. The Company assesses its financial performance at the enterprise level and resource allocation decisions are made on a project basis across its portfolio of assets, without regard to the geographic location of projects. Obsidian Energy owns the petroleum and natural gas assets or 100 percent of the equity, directly or indirectly, of the entities that carry on the remainder of the oil and natural gas business of Obsidian Energy, except for an unincorporated joint arrangement (the “Peace River Oil Partnership”) in which Obsidian Energy’s wholly owned subsidiaries hold a 55 percent interest.

2. Basis of presentation and statement of compliance

a) Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Obsidian Energy, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its proportionate interest in partnerships. Results from acquired properties are included in the Company’s reported results subsequent to the closing date and results from properties sold are included until the closing date.

All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to correspond with current period presentation.

b) Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim consolidated financial statements”) are prepared in compliance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and accordingly do not contain all of the disclosures included in Obsidian Energy’s annual audited consolidated financial statements.

The interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies, critical accounting judgments and key estimates as in the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018 with the exception of IFRS 16 – Leases as outlined below.

All tabular amounts are in millions of Canadian dollars, except numbers of common shares, per share amounts, percentages and other figures as noted.

The interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2019.

3. Significant accounting policies

 

a)

Adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases

Obsidian Energy applied IFRS 16 with an initial adoption date of January 1, 2019, resulting in a change to its accounting policy for lease contracts as detailed below. The Company applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings at January 1, 2019. As a result, comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

As a lessee, the Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Company. Under IFRS 16, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets in property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities for most leases.

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.

i) Practical expedients

The Company used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17:

 

  -

Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics;

  -

Applied the exemption to not recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term;

  -

Applied the exemption to not recognize leases of low value assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Payments for these leases will be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements; and

  -

Placed reliance on the Company’s previous assessment of onerous contracts under IAS 37 immediately before the date of initial application as an alternative to performing an impairment assessment.

ii) January 1, 2019 impact

The impacts of the adoption of IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019 are as follows:

  a)

Right-of-use assets

The Company measured its right-of-use assets at the amount equal to the lease liability less any amount previously recorded as onerous contact provision under IAS 37. There was no impact to retained earnings upon adoption.

 

OBSIDIAN ENERGY SECOND QUARTER 2019

   NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  6


  b)

Sublease contracts

The Company analyzed the classification of sublease contracts previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17. The Company determined that certain subleases met the requirements of finance leases under IFRS 16. These are recorded as Lease receivable.

 

  c)

Lease liabilities

The Company recorded lease liabilities on contracts previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17. The lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation was 6.0 percent.

 

  d)

Onerous contract provisions

For the Company’s office lease provision, the Company applied the practical expedient to use its previous assessment under IAS 37 for onerous contracts. This resulted in a reduction of $63 million to the Company’s office lease provision that was classified as an onerous contract and a reduction in deficit of $7 million.

iii) Reconciliation of commitments to lease liability

b)

Policy applicable after January 1, 2019

On transition to IFRS 16 and at inception of entering into a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. 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. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company considers the following:

 

  -

the contract involves the use of an identified asset;

  -

the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  -

the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset, which occurs if either;

  o

the Company has the right to operate the asset; or

  o

the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

Obsidian Energy recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful life of right-of-use assets are determined based on the length of the lease.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The consideration used to measure the lease liability includes all fixed or variable lease payments under the arrangement. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and is re-measured when there is a change in the future lease payments.

In-scope leases

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company identified certain office leases, transportation commitments, vehicle leases and surface leases in-scope under the standard.

 

  -

Office lease commitments pertain to total leased office space. A portion of this office space has been sub-leased to other parties to minimize the Company’s net exposure under the leases;

  -

Transportation commitments related to costs for future pipeline access;

  -

Vehicle leases relate to commitments for usage of vehicles; and

  -

Surface leases allow access to land at a natural gas or oil treatment facility and beyond.

Obsidian Energy has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, which include information technology equipment and field equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

During the second quarter of 2019, as a result of entering into a definitive sale agreement for the Company’s interest in the Peace River Oil Partnership (“PROP”), the Company classified these as assets held for sale at June 30, 2019. The transaction is anticipated to close in August 2019.

At June 30, 2019, these assets were recorded at the lower of fair value less costs to sell and their carrying amount, resulting in a PP&E impairment loss of $130 million. The impairment expense has been recorded as additional depletion, depreciation, impairment and accretion expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

   NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  11


The Company has a reserve-based syndicated credit facility which is subject to a semi-annual borrowing base redetermination typically in May and November of each year. At June 30, 2019, the term out period of the credit facility was May 31, 2020 which has resulted in the outstanding amount presented as a current liability.

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company reached an agreement with its lenders whereby the underlying borrowing base of the syndicated credit facility and the amount available to be drawn under the syndicated credit facility remain at $550 million and $460 million, respectively. The revolving period ends on February 28, 2020 with revolving period reconfirmation dates on November 19, 2019 and January 20, 2020. Under the agreement the term-out period ends November 30, 2020. Additionally, upon close of the Company’s disposition of its interest in PROP, the amount available under the syndicated credit facility will be reduced to $420 million.

Drawings on the Company’s bank facility are subject to fluctuations in short-term money market rates as they are generally held as short-term borrowings. As at June 30, 2019, 87 percent (December 31, 2018 – 80 percent) of Obsidian Energy’s long-term debt instruments were exposed to changes in short-term interest rates.

At June 30, 2019, letters of credit totaling $7 million were outstanding (December 31, 2018 – $7 million) that reduce the amount otherwise available to be drawn on the syndicated credit facility.

The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its senior notes and syndicated credit facility. These types of financial covenants are typical for senior lending arrangements and include Senior debt and Total debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Senior debt and Total debt to capitalization, as more specifically defined in the applicable lending agreements. At June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under such lending agreements.

 

OBSIDIAN ENERGY SECOND QUARTER 2019

   NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  12


In the first quarter of 2019, due to the impact of widening crude oil differentials in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into amending agreements with holders of its senior notes to temporarily amend its financial covenants for all quarters in 2019. Senior debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Total debt to Adjusted EBITDA will be reset during this period and calculated on a rolling basis starting on January 1, 2019. The maximum for both ratios will be less than or equal to 4.25:1 in 2019, decreasing to 3:1 from January 1, 2020 onwards for Senior debt to Adjusted EBITDA and 4:1 from January 1, 2020 onwards for Total debt to Adjusted EBITDA (which were the maximum ratios required prior to entering into the amending agreements). As part of the amending agreements, the Company agreed to pay an additional 50 bps if the covenant is less than or equal to 3.00:1, 100 bps if the covenant is greater than 3.00:1 and less than or equal to 4.00:1 and 125 bps if the covenant is greater than 4.00:1 and less than or equal to 4.25:1.

Decommissioning liability

The decommissioning liability was determined by applying an inflation factor of 2.0 percent (December 31, 2018 - 2.0 percent) and the inflated amount was discounted using a credit-adjusted rate of 6.5 percent (December 31, 2018 – 6.5 percent) over the expected useful life of the underlying assets, currently extending over 50 years into the future. The total decommissioning liability on an undiscounted, uninflated basis was $0.8 billion (December 31, 2018 - $0.8 billion).

10. Risk management

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, fair values of derivative financial instruments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. At June 30, 2019, except for the senior notes described in Note 7 with a carrying value of $62 million (December 31, 2018 – $82 million) and a fair value of $58 million (December 31, 2018 - $77 million), the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of the instruments, the mark to market values recorded for the financial instruments and the market rate of interest applicable to the syndicated credit facility.

The fair values of all outstanding financial, commodity, interest rate and foreign exchange contracts are reflected on the balance sheet with the changes during the period recorded in income as unrealized gains or losses.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis was the risk management asset and liability, which was valued based on “Level 2 inputs” being quoted prices in markets that are not active or based on prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

The following table reconciles the changes in the fair value of financial instruments outstanding:

13. Share-based compensation

Restricted and Performance Share Unit plan (“RPSU plan”)

Obsidian Energy has an RPSU plan whereby employees receive consideration that fluctuates based on the Company’s share price on the TSX. Since March 2016, consideration can be in the form of cash or shares purchased on the open market therefore all grants subsequent to March 2016 are accounted for based on the equity method. In June 2017, the shareholders approved amendments to the RPSU plan such that shares provided under the plan can either be purchased on the open market or issued from treasury.
