PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
"Our second quarter was foundationally strong for the Company as we closed on the disposition of our operated Pembina assets, which further strengthened our balance sheet and reduced our decommissioning liabilities, allowing us to make significant progress on our return of capital initiative through our active share buyback program", commented Stephen Loukas, Obsidian Energy's President and CEO. "Given the substantial discount that we believe our shares trade to intrinsic value, we accelerated share repurchases during the quarter which led to the cancellation of over seven percent of our outstanding shares. Since the inception of our share buyback program in 2023, we have repurchased and cancelled a total of ~20 percent of our shares, with 67.1 million currently outstanding".
Mr. Loukas continued, "Operationally, the second quarter was a success as we brought all of our wells on production from our first half program, drilled our Clearwater waterflood pilot at the Dawson 4-24 pad and achieved our key guidance metrics. Our second half development program is well underway and started with three rigs operating in Peace River and plans to return to Willesden Green with a one rig program starting in August".
SECOND Quarter 2025 Corporate Highlights
Funds Flow from Operations – The Company generated funds flow from operations ("FFO") of $65.8 million ($0.94 per share basic) compared to $115.2 million ($1.51 per share basic) in the second quarter of 2024. Revenues declined as lower oil prices combined with lower production volumes due to the Pembina disposition led to reduced FFO in 2025. The reduction in FFO was partially mitigated on a per share basis given our active buyback program under our normal course issuer bid ("NCIB").
Capital Development – Second quarter capital expenditures totaled $40.2 million (2024 – $59.2 million) while decommissioning expenditures were $4.0 million (2024 – $4.0 million). Activity during the second quarter of 2025 was focused on bringing the wells we drilled in Peace River earlier in the year on production and drilling our 4-24 Dawson waterflood wells.
Pembina Asset Disposition – On April 7, 2025, we closed our previously announced Pembina asset disposition (the "Disposition") to InPlay Oil Corp. ("InPlay"). The Disposition had an effective date of December 1, 2024, and included all the Company's assets in the Pembina area, except for our non-operated interest in the Pembina Cardium Unit #11.
Share Buyback Program – The Company was very active during the second quarter of 2025 and repurchased and cancelled a total of 5.4 million shares under the Company’s NCIB for $36.6 million (at an average price of $6.80 per share).
Net Operating Costs – Net operating costs of $13.54 per boe in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $13.83 per boe in 2024. The close of the Disposition and the removal of those higher cost properties from our portfolio led to a reduction to net operating costs which was partially offset by increased trucking costs due to expanded operations in our Peace River asset compared to 2024.
General and administrative (“G&A”) Costs – G&A costs were $1.92 per boe in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $1.49 per boe in 2024. G&A costs in the second quarter of 2025 increased on a per boe basis given our lower production levels as a result of the Disposition.
Net Debt – Net debt levels were $270.2 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $411.7 million at December 31, 2024. The cash proceeds associated with the Disposition were applied against bank debt which led to significantly lower net debt.
Net Income – Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $15.3 million ($0.22 per share basic) versus $37.1 million ($0.48 per share basic) in 2024. Net income was impacted by the volatile commodity price environment and lower production from the Disposition, which led to lower revenues, during the second quarter of 2025.
Highlights SUBSEQUENT TO SECOND quarter 2025
- InPlay Share Disposition - In July, we announced that a third party made a non-binding offer to the Company to acquire our entire common share position in InPlay, consisting of 9,139,784 InPlay common shares (“InPlay Shares”). The offer price per InPlay Share is in excess of the closing price for such shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of July 15, 2025 of $9.59 per share.
- Share Buyback Program – We repurchased and cancelled an additional 0.6 million common shares at an average price of $8.01 per share for total consideration of $4.9 million under the NCIB up to July 29, 2025. In 2025, repurchases and cancellations total 7.1 million common shares at an average price of $7.15 per share for total consideration of approximately $51.1 million, resulting in 67.1 million common shares currently outstanding.
- Since the inception of the NCIB in 2023, we have re-purchased and cancelled a total of approximately 16.7 million common shares (20% of our outstanding shares) for total consideration of approximately $140.2 million.
SECOND QUARTER 2025 CAPITAL program & HIGHLIGHTS
The Company had an active 2025 first half capital program focused on development and exploration/appraisal activities at Peace River, targeting both the Bluesky and Clearwater formations. Additionally, we commenced our first Clearwater waterflood pilot project in the Dawson field with water injection planned in the third quarter of 2025. Capital program highlights for the second quarter of 2025 were as follows:
Completed First Half Development Program – We rig released all wells from our first half 2025 capital program by the end of June, including six (6.0 net) during the second quarter of 2025 in Peace River, inclusive of two (2.0 net) water-flood injection wells in our Dawson Clearwater acreage.
Strong Initial Well Results – We brought on production 20 (16.7 net) wells during the second quarter of 2025, primarily in Peace River, with very encouraging initial production (“IP”) rates;
Peace River (Bluesky):
A total of eight (7.5 net) wells were brought on production in our Harmon Valley South ("HVS"), Walrus and Seal fields. Notable initial well results include the 546 boe/d IP30 rate (100 percent oil) achieved at our 1 (1.0 net) well HVS 14-07 pad and average IP30 rate of 395 boe/d (100 percent oil) per well at our 2 (2.0 net) well HVS 13-08 pad.
Two (2.0 net) follow-up wells on the HVS 14-07 pad have been rig released as part of our second half program and will be on production in August.
Peace River (Clearwater):
During the second quarter, 7 (7.0 net) wells were brought on production in our Dawson Clearwater asset, including the 2 (2.0 net) single leg injector waterflood wells, which were placed on production prior to conversion to water injection in the third quarter. Regulatory approval for the waterflood project has been received and we plan to begin injecting water during the third quarter, in conjunction with starting two additional producing wells on the Dawson 4-24 pad.
Notable initial well results include the 304 boe/d (100 percent oil) per well average IP30 achieved at the Dawson 4-24 waterflood pilot pad. At the Dawson 4-23 pad an additional 2 (2.0 net) wells were placed on production bringing the pad total to 4 (4.0 net) wells at an average IP30 per well of 253 Boe/d (100% oil).
Pembina Cardium Unit #11:
The five-well (2.2 net) non-operated program was drilled in the first quarter with the fifth and final well (0.45 net) brought on production in May with a gross IP30 of 317 boe/d (92% oil).
We started our second half 2025 capital program at the end of June with three rigs running in Peace River and will begin operations with an additional rig at Willesden Green in August. Thus far we have spud 6 (6.0 net) wells in Peace River, following up recent production success on the HVS 14-07 pad, Dawson 04-24 pad and the new Dawson 13-23 pad.

- Capital expenditures for the Pembina wells were paid for by InPlay as they were included in the interim closing adjustments of the Disposition.
- In addition, Obsidian Energy participated in the rig release of five non-operated (2.2 net) wells in the first quarter of 2025 and anticipates participating in six (2.7) non-operated wells in the second half of 2025.
- Three (3.0 net) wells rig released in 2024 were placed on production in the first quarter of 2025; they are excluded from the total. The number of wells also excludes the two (2.0 net) Peace River single leg injector wells.
GUIDANCE
Second quarter results compared favourably with the guidance ranges outlined below. FFO came in higher than expectations primarily due to a combination of higher than forecasted oil prices and lower costs, specifically net operating costs. The Company was extremely active with our share buyback program during the second quarter which resulted in net debt slightly higher than guidance.

ADDITIONAL READER ADVISORIES
OIL AND GAS INFORMATION ADVISORY
Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis is misleading as an indication of value.
TEST RESULTS AND INITIAL PRODUCTION RATES
Test results and initial production rates disclosed herein, particularly those short in duration, may not necessarily be indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Readers are cautioned that short-term rates should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance of these wells and therefore should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes. A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out and thus certain of the test results provided herein should be considered preliminary until such analysis or interpretation has been completed.
NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
Throughout this news release and in other materials disclosed by the Company, we employ certain measures to analyze financial performance, financial position, and cash flow. These non-GAAP and other
financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. The non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than GAAP measures which are determined in accordance with IFRS, such as net income and cash flow from operating activities as indicators of our performance. The interim consolidated financial statements and MD&A as at and for three and six months ended June 30, 2025, will be available in due course on the Company's website at www.obsidianenergy.com and under our SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov. The disclosure under the section ’Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures’ in the MD&A is incorporated by reference into this news release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following measures are non-GAAP financial measures: FFO; net debt; net operating costs; netback; and free cash flow (“FCF”). These non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. See the disclosure under the section ’Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures’ in our MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, for an explanation of the composition of these measures, how these measures provide useful information to an investor, and the additional purposes, if any, for which management uses these measures.
For a reconciliation of FFO to cash flow from operating activities, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS, see ’Non-GAAP Measures Reconciliations’ below.
For a reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS, see ’Non-GAAP Measures Reconciliations’ below.
For a reconciliation of net operating costs to operating costs, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS, see ’Non-GAAP Measures Reconciliations’ below.
For a reconciliation of netback to sales price, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS, see ’Non-GAAP Measures Reconciliations’ below.
For a reconciliation of FCF to cash flow from operating activities, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS, see ’Non-GAAP Measures Reconciliations’ below.
Non-GAAP Ratios
The following measures are non-GAAP ratios: FFO (basic per share ($/share) and diluted per share ($/share)), which use FFO as a component; net operating costs ($/boe), which uses net operating costs as a component; netback ($/boe), which uses netback as a component; and net debt to FFO, which uses net debt and FFO as components. These non-GAAP ratios are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. See the disclosure under the section ’Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures’ in our MD&A in our MD&A for three and six months ended June 30, 2025, for an explanation of the composition of these non-GAAP ratios, how these non-GAAP ratios provide useful information to an investor, and the additional purposes, if any, for which management uses these non-GAAP ratios.
Supplementary Financial Measures
The following measures are supplementary financial measures: average sales price; cash flow from operating activities (basic per share and diluted per share); and G&A costs ($/boe). See the disclosure under the section ’Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures’ in our MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, for an explanation of the composition of these measures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this document constitute forward-looking statements or information (collectively “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of the "safe harbour" provisions of applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “anticipate”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “budget”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “could”, “plan”, “intend”, “should”, “believe”, “outlook”, “objective”, “aim”, “potential”, “target” and similar words suggesting future events or future performance. In addition, statements relating to “reserves” or “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future. In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, without limitation, the following: our development plans for the second half of 2025, including our waterflood projects, timing and locations; our expected non-operated projects; that we will file our interim consolidated financial statements and MD&A on our website, SEDAR+ and EDGAR in due course; our hedges; and the timing of our updated corporate presentation.
With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this document, the Company has made assumptions regarding, among other things: the duration and impact of tariffs that are currently in effect on goods exported from or imported into Canada, and that other than the tariffs that are currently in effect, neither the U.S. nor Canada (i) increases the rate or scope of such tariffs, reenacts tariffs that are currently suspended, or imposes new tariffs, on the import of goods from one country to the other, including on oil
and natural gas, and/or (ii) imposes any other form of tax, restriction or prohibition on the import or export of products from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas; that the Company does not dispose of or acquire material producing properties or royalties or other interests therein (except as disclosed herein, including with respect to our InPlay Shares); that regional and/or global health related events will not have any adverse impact on energy demand and commodity prices in the future; global energy policies going forward, including the continued ability and willingness of members of OPEC and other nations to agree on and adhere to production quotas from time to time; our ability to qualify for (or continue to qualify for) new or existing government programs, and obtain financial assistance therefrom, and the impact of those programs on our financial condition; our ability to execute our plans as described herein and in our other disclosure documents, and the impact that the successful execution of such plans will have on our Company and our stakeholders, including our ability to return capital to shareholders and/or further reduce debt levels; future capital expenditure and decommissioning expenditure levels; expectations and assumptions concerning applicable laws and regulations, including with respect to environmental, safety and tax matters; future operating costs and G&A costs and the impact of inflation thereon; future oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas prices and differentials between light, medium and heavy oil prices and Canadian, WTI and world oil and natural gas prices; future hedging activities; future oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production levels; future exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates; future debt levels; our ability to execute our capital programs as planned without significant adverse impacts from various factors beyond our control, including extreme weather events such as wild fires, flooding and drought, infrastructure access (including the potential for blockades or other activism) and delays in obtaining regulatory approvals and third party consents; the ability of the Company's contractual counterparties to perform their contractual obligations; our ability to obtain equipment in a timely manner to carry out development activities and the costs thereof; our ability to market our oil and natural gas successfully to current and new customers; our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, including our ability (if necessary) to extend the revolving period and term out period of our credit facility, our ability to maintain the existing borrowing base under our credit facility, our ability (if necessary) to replace our syndicated bank facility and our ability (if necessary) to finance the repayment of our senior unsecured notes on maturity or pursuant to the terms of the underlying agreement; the accuracy of our estimated reserve volumes; and our ability to add production and reserves through our development and exploitation activities.
The future acquisition by the Company of the Company's common shares pursuant to its share buyback program (including through its NCIB), if any, and the level thereof is uncertain. Any decision to acquire common shares of the Company pursuant to the share buyback program will be subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the Company and may depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the Company's business performance, financial condition, financial requirements, growth plans, expected capital requirements and other conditions existing at such future time including, without limitation, contractual restrictions and satisfaction of the solvency tests imposed on the Company under applicable corporate law. There can be no assurance of the number of common shares of the Company that the Company will acquire pursuant to its share buyback program, if any, in the future.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included in this document, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the forward-looking statements contained herein will not be correct, which may cause our actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things: the risk that (i) the tariffs that are currently in effect on goods exported from or imported into Canada continue in effect for an extended period of time, the tariffs that have been threatened are implemented, that tariffs that are currently suspended are reactivated, the rate or scope of tariffs are increased, or new tariffs are imposed, including on oil and natural gas, (ii) the U.S. and/or Canada imposes any other form of tax,
restriction or prohibition on the import or export of products from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas, and (iii) the tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed by the U.S. on other countries and retaliatory tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed by other countries on the U.S., will trigger a broader global trade war which could have a material adverse effect on the Canadian, U.S. and global economies, and by extension the Canadian oil and natural gas industry and the Company, including by decreasing demand for (and the price of) oil and natural gas, disrupting supply chains, increasing costs, causing volatility in global financial markets, and limiting access to financing; the possibility that we change our budgets (including our capital expenditure budgets) in response to internal and external factors, including those described herein; the possibility that the Company will not be able to continue to successfully execute our business plans and strategies in part or in full, and the possibility that some or all of the benefits that the Company anticipates will accrue to our Company and our stakeholders as a result of the successful execution of such plans and strategies do not materialize (such as our inability to return capital to shareholders and/or reduce debt levels to the extent anticipated or at all); the possibility that we are unable to monetize our InPlay Shares; the possibility that the Company ceases to qualify for, or does not qualify for, one or more existing or new government assistance programs, that the impact of such programs falls below our expectations, that the benefits under one or more of such programs is decreased, or that one or more of such programs is discontinued; the impact on energy demand and commodity prices of regional and/or global health related events and the responses of governments and the public thereto, including the risk that the amount of energy demand destruction and/or the length of the decreased demand exceeds our expectations; the risk that there is another significant decrease in the valuation of oil and natural gas companies and their securities and in confidence in the oil and natural gas industry generally, whether caused by regional and/or global health related events, the worldwide transition towards less reliance on fossil fuels and/or other factors; the risk that the financial capacity of the Company's contractual counterparties is adversely affected and potentially their ability to perform their contractual obligations; the possibility that the revolving period and/or term out period of our credit facility and the maturity date of our senior unsecured notes is not extended (if necessary), that the borrowing base under our credit facility is reduced, that the Company is unable to renew or refinance our credit facilities on acceptable terms or at all and/or finance the repayment of our senior unsecured notes when they mature on acceptable terms or at all and/or obtain new debt and/or equity financing to replace our credit facilities and/or senior unsecured notes or to fund other activities; the possibility that we are unable to complete one or more repurchase offers pursuant to our Notes when otherwise required to do so; the possibility that we are forced to shut-in production, whether due to commodity prices decreasing, extreme weather events such as wild fires, inability to access our properties due to blockades or other activism, or other factors; the risk that OPEC and other nations fail to agree on and/or adhere to production quotas from time to time that are sufficient to balance supply and demand fundamentals for oil; general economic and political conditions in Canada, the U.S. and globally, and in particular, the effect that those conditions have on commodity prices and our access to capital; industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, price differentials for oil and natural gas produced in Canada as compared to other markets, and transportation restrictions, including pipeline and railway capacity constraints; fluctuations in foreign exchange, including the impact of the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on our revenues and expenses; fluctuations in interest rates, including the effects of interest rates on our borrowing costs and on economic activity, and including the risk that elevated interest rates cause or contribute to the onset of a recession; the risk that our costs increase due to inflation, supply chain disruptions, scarcity of labour and/or other factors, adversely affecting our profitability; unanticipated operating events or environmental events that can reduce production or cause production to be shut-in or delayed (including extreme cold during winter months, wild fires, flooding and droughts (which could limit our access to the water we require for our operations)); the risk that wars and other armed conflicts adversely affect world economies and the demand for oil and natural gas, including the ongoing war between Russian and Ukraine and/or hostilities in the Middle East; the possibility that fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to hydrocarbons, government mandates requiring the sale of electric vehicles and/or electrification of the power grid, and technological advances in fuel economy and renewable energy generation systems could permanently reduce the demand for oil and natural gas and/or permanently impair the Company's ability to obtain financing and/or insurance on acceptable terms or at all, and the possibility that some or all of these risks are heightened as a result of the response of
governments, financial institutions and consumers to a regional and/or global health related event and/or the influence of public opinion and/or special interest groups.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) of Obsidian Energy Ltd. (“Obsidian Energy”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024. The date of this MD&A is July 29, 2025. All dollar amounts contained in this MD&A are expressed in millions of Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise.
Throughout this MD&A and in other materials disclosed by the Company, we adhere to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), however the Company also employs certain non-GAAP measures to analyze financial performance, financial position, and cash flow, including funds flow from operations, netback, sales, gross revenues, net operating costs, net debt and free cash flow. Additionally, other financial measures are also used to analyze performance. These non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. The non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than GAAP measures which are determined in accordance with IFRS, such as net income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities, as indicators of our performance.
This MD&A also contains oil and natural gas information and forward-looking statements. Please see the Company's disclosure under the headings "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures", "Oil and Natural Gas Information", and "Forward-Looking Statements" included at the end of this MD&A.

Cash flow from operating activities and funds flow from operations decreased in Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024 primarily due to lower production revenues, as a result of lower commodity prices and lower production levels due to the disposition of our operated Pembina assets at the start of Q2 2025. The disposition of the operated Pembina assets and associated lower production and lower revenues also impacted funds flow from operations for the first six months of 2025 compared to the 2024 period.
Pembina Disposition
On April 7, 2025, the Company closed the disposition (the "Pembina disposition") to InPlay Oil Corp. ("InPlay") of our operated Pembina (Cardium) assets (the "Pembina Assets"). Total consideration for the transaction included approximately $211 million of cash (inclusive of interim closing adjustments), 9,139,784 common shares of InPlay ("InPlay Shares") (updated to reflect InPlay's consolidation of its common shares on a one for six basis effective April 14, 2025) and a $15 million value associated with acquiring InPlay's 34.6 percent interest in the Willesden Green Cardium Unit #2 property. The transaction included all the Company's assets in Pembina, with the exception of our non-operated interest in Pembina Cardium Unit #11 which we retain. The transaction had an effective date of December 1, 2024. As part of the transaction, InPlay assumed all assets and liabilities associated with the Pembina Assets, including the Company’s decommissioning liabilities.
This transaction has further strengthened our balance sheet, with the cash proceeds from the transaction used to initially pay down outstanding debt on our syndicated credit facility on closing. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company announced that a third party made a non-binding offer to Obsidian Energy to acquire the Company’s entire common share position in InPlay, consisting of 9,139,784 InPlay Shares, at a price per InPlay Share in excess of the $9.59 closing price for such shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") as of July 15, 2025. The Company has entered into negotiations with the third party and InPlay in respect of the potential transaction outlined in the non-binding offer and has agreed to engage exclusively with the third party in respect of the potential transaction until August 1, 2025.

Business Strategy
Upon close of the Pembina Disposition, the Company has a more balanced portfolio of heavy and light oil assets. In Peace River over the past two years we have more than doubled our production in the area through a focused development program. With a significant land base of greater than 700 net sections, we expect to be able to continue to grow our Clearwater and Bluesky production through further development and delineation of existing and establishing new fields in the area. With a now more focused light oil asset base, we also expect to be able to grow our light assets through ongoing development. The pace and level of future development and growth will be subject to the macro-economic environment (commodity prices and service costs) as we look to generate acceptable returns and maintain the Company’s financial strength.
In 2023, we began our return of capital initiative through our share buyback program under our normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). This program has further enhanced shareholder returns, specifically through a focus on per share growth. Including purchases made subsequent to Q2 2025, we have re-purchased and cancelled a total of approximately 16.7 million common shares (approximately 20 percent of our outstanding shares) for total consideration of $140.2 million since the inception of the NCIB in 2023. Purchases under the NCIB are subject to having $65 million of liquidity and otherwise complying with the terms of our current credit facilities.
The Company continued with our environmental remediation efforts in the first half of 2025 with a focus on abandoning and reclaiming inactive fields.

Oil
WTI prices averaged US$63.74 per barrel during Q2 2025, with WTI prices starting the quarter at approximately US$63 per barrel in April before increasing to over US$67 per barrel in June. The increase late in the quarter was primarily driven by the Iran-Israel conflict and associated potential supply risk.
WCS differentials averaged US$10.20 per bbl for Q2 2025 compared to US$12.65 per bbl in Q1 2025. MSW differentials averaged US$2.84 for Q2 2025. Alberta wildfires and planned maintenance both led to a reduction in supply which contributed to the improved prices.

The Company's netback decreased in the 2025 periods compared to the 2024 periods due to lower oil prices which led to lower realized prices. Transportation costs were also higher as a result of our increasing Peace River production. Net operating costs were lower in Q2 2025 due to the Pembina Disposition partially offset by our growing Peace River production, which primarily resulted in an overall increase in first half 2025 net operating costs.

- Non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures”.
On an absolute basis, for Q2 2025 both operating and net operating costs were lower than the 2024 comparable period mainly due to our lower production base as a result of the Company closing the Pembina Disposition at the start of the quarter. For the first six months of 2025, operating and net operating costs were roughly flat compared to the 2024 period as our higher production base during Q1 2025 led to higher costs, but was offset by our lower production base in Q2 2025 as a result of the Pembina Disposition.
Transportation
The Company continues to utilize multiple sales points in the Peace River area to increase realized prices. New wells drilled in the Peace River area over the past year resulted in higher production and thus higher transportation costs in the first six months of 2025 compared to the 2024 period.

Obsidian Energy’s debt structure includes short-term borrowings under our syndicated credit facility and term financing through our senior unsecured notes. Interest charges were lower in 2025 compared to 2024 mainly due to lower drawings on our syndicated credit facility following the Pembina Disposition as the proceeds received from the transaction were used to reduce the amount outstanding under our syndicated credit facility.
The Company has a reserve-based syndicated credit facility which is subject to a semi-annual borrowing base redetermination (typically completed in May and November of each year). The aggregate amount available under the syndicated credit facility is $235.0 million and the revolving period and maturity dates are set at May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2027, respectively.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had senior unsecured notes outstanding totaling $112.2 million which mature on July 27, 2027. The senior unsecured notes were initially issued at a price of $980 per $1,000 principal amount resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $125.0 million and at an interest rate of 11.95 percent. The senior unsecured notes are direct senior unsecured obligations of Obsidian Energy ranking equal with all other present and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.
In April 2025, the Company repurchased $2.0 million of our senior unsecured notes on the open market at a price of $1,027.5 per $1,000 principal amount.
As part of the terms of the senior unsecured notes, the Company is required, in certain circumstances, to make a repurchase offer (the "Repurchase Offer") at a price of $1,030 per $1,000 principal amount to an aggregate amount of $63.8 million (including open market purchases), which has been reduced to $48.4 million based on previous Repurchase Offers and open market purchases. The obligation to make a Repurchase Offer is based on free cash flow for the six months ended June 30 (typically offered in August) and based on free cash flow for the six months ended December 31 (typically offered in March). Minimum available liquidity thresholds and projected leverage ratios under the Company's syndicated credit facilities are also required to be met in order to proceed with a Repurchase Offer. For the first six months of 2025, based on free cash flow available and our liquidity estimates we expect to make a $48.4 million Repurchase Offer in August 2025. This amount was recorded within the current portion of long-term debt at June 30, 2025.
At June 30, 2025, letters of credit totaling $4.3 million were outstanding (December 31, 2024 – $4.4 million) that reduce the amount otherwise available to be drawn on our syndicated credit facility.

The Company’s D&D expense decreased in the 2025 periods compared to the 2024 periods due to a combination of the Pembina Assets being classified as assets held for sale in Q1 2025 and no longer being depleted and then the close of the Pembina Disposition early in Q2 2025, which reduced production levels.
| OBSIDIAN ENERGY SECOND QUARTER 2025 | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 10 |
|---|
Prior to the close of the Pembina Disposition in April 2025, the Company classified these assets as held for sale. In 2025, the Pembina Assets were recorded at the lesser of fair value less costs to sell and their carrying amount, resulting in a non-cash, before tax, impairment loss of $15.4 million. The impairment expense was recorded as additional depletion, depreciation and impairment on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
During the first six months of 2025, we recorded a $14.2 million impairment reversal (2024 - $2.5 million) in our Legacy cash generating unit ("Legacy CGU") due to a reduction in the decommissioning liability in the area. The Legacy CGU has no recoverable amount, as such changes in our decommissioning liability are expensed or recovered each period.

The Company previously recognized a deferred tax asset, as we expect to have sufficient taxable profits in future years in order to fully utilize the remaining deferred tax asset balance. The deferred income tax expense was due to the Company's net income and resultant reduction of our deferred income tax asset.

| Diluted per share | $ | 0.21 | $ | 0.46 | $ | 0.41 | $ | 0.61 |
Net income was lower in the 2025 periods as a result of the Company's lower production revenues due to lower realized oil prices and lower production volumes as a result of the Pembina Disposition early in Q2 2025. This was partially offset by lower depletion and depreciation expense from the combination of the Pembina Assets being classified as assets held for sale in Q1 2025 and no longer being depleted and the subsequent closing of the Pembina Disposition in early Q2 2025.

Capital expenditures in Q2 2025 focused on bringing wells on production from our active development program in Peace River earlier in the year. Overall, capital expenditures were lower in Q2 2025 than Q2 2024 as we moderated capital spending in the period in response to lower commodity prices and volatility in commodity markets.
For the first six months of 2025, 39 (34.6 net) wells were brought on production, including operated and non-operated activities, which included 30 (28.4 net) wells in Peace River and 9 (6.2 net) wells in the Cardium.

Environmental and Climate Change
The oil and natural gas industry has a number of environmental risks and hazards and is subject to regulation by all levels of government. Environmental legislation includes, but is not limited to, operational controls, site rehabilitation requirements and restrictions on emissions of various substances produced in association with oil and natural gas operations. Compliance with such legislation is expected to require additional expenditures and a failure to comply may result in fines and penalties which could, in the aggregate and under certain assumptions, become material.
Obsidian Energy monitors our operations for environmental impacts and allocates capital to reclamation and other activities to help mitigate the impact on the areas in which the Company operates. The Company follows the Alberta Energy Regulator guidance under Directive 088 where a minimum amount of spending is required to abandon inactive sites.

Net debt decreased compared to December 31, 2024, as a result of lower drawings under our syndicated credit facility and decreased working capital deficiency as our development program moderated in Q2 2025. On April 7, 2025, the Company closed the Pembina Disposition and used the cash proceeds of approximately $211 million (inclusive of interim closing adjustments) to reduce the amount outstanding under our syndicated credit facility.
Liquidity
The Company currently has a reserve-based syndicated credit facility with a borrowing limit of $235.0 million and senior unsecured notes totaling $112.2 million, due in July 2027. For further details on the Company’s debt instruments please refer to the “Financing” section of this MD&A.
The Company actively manages our debt portfolio and considers opportunities to reduce or diversify our debt capital structure. Management contemplates both operating and financial risks and takes action as appropriate to limit the Company’s exposure to certain risks. Management maintains close relationships with the Company’s lenders and agents to monitor credit market developments. These actions and plans aim to increase the likelihood of maintaining the Company’s financial flexibility and an appropriate capital program, supporting the Company’s ongoing operations and ability to execute longer-term business strategies.
Investment in InPlay
On April 7, 2025, the Company closed the Pembina disposition. As part of the consideration, the Company received 9,139,784 InPlay Shares. The Company has classified our investment in InPlay as held for sale which is measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. The initial valuation of the InPlay Shares was based on InPlay's closing share price on April 7, 2025 of $8.34 per share and classified as held for sale as we do not intend to be long term shareholders.
During Q2 2025, InPlay paid a cash dividend of $0.09 per common share per month, resulting in the Company receiving $2.5 million during the period. The dividends received from InPlay were recorded within other income.
Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company announced that a third party made a non-binding offer to Obsidian Energy to acquire the Company’s entire common share position in InPlay, consisting of 9,139,784 InPlay Shares, at a price per InPlay Share in excess of the $9.59 closing price for such shares on the TSX as of July 15, 2025. The Company has entered into negotiations with the third party and InPlay in respect of the potential transaction outlined in the non-binding offer and has agreed to engage exclusively with the third party in respect of the potential transaction until August 1, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”)
Obsidian Energy’s senior management has evaluated whether there were any changes in the Company's ICFR that occurred during the period beginning on April 1, 2025 and ending on June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's ICFR. No changes to the Company’s ICFR were made during the quarter.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financing
Obsidian Energy has off-balance-sheet financing arrangements consisting of operating leases. The operating lease payments are summarized in the Contractual Obligations and Commitments section.
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Throughout this MD&A and in other materials disclosed by the Company, we employ certain measures to analyze financial performance, financial position, and cash flow. These non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. The non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than GAAP measures which are determined in accordance with IFRS, such as net income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities, as indicators of our performance.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
“Free cash flow” is funds flow from operations less both capital and decommissioning expenditures and the Company believes it is a useful measure to determine and indicate the funding available to Obsidian Energy for investing and financing activities, including the repayment of debt, reallocation to existing areas of operation, deployment into new ventures and return of capital to shareholders. See “Cash flow from Operating Activities, Funds Flow from Operations and Free Cash Flow” above for a reconciliation of free cash flow to cash flow from operating activities, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS.
“Funds flow from operations” is cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital, decommissioning expenditures, onerous office lease settlements, settlement of RSUs, the effects of financing related transactions from foreign exchange contracts and debt repayments, restructuring, transaction costs and certain other expenses and is representative of cash related to continuing operations. Funds flow from operations is used to assess the Company’s ability to fund our planned capital programs. See “Cash flow from Operating Activities, Funds Flow from Operations and Free Cash Flow” and "Reconciliation of Cash flow from operating activities to Funds flow from operations" above for reconciliations of funds flow from operations to cash flow from operating activities, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS.
“Gross revenues” are production revenues including realized risk management gains and losses on commodity contracts and adjusted for commodities purchased from third parties and sales of commodities purchased from third parties and is used to assess the cash realizations on commodity sales. See “Results of Operations – Production Revenues” above for a reconciliation of gross revenues to production revenues, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS.
| OBSIDIAN ENERGY SECOND QUARTER 2025 | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 18 |
|---|
“Sales” are production revenues plus sales of commodities purchased from third parties less commodities purchased from third parties and is used to assess the cash realizations on commodity sales before realized risk management gains and losses. See “Results of Operations – Production Revenues” above for a reconciliation of gross revenues and sales to production revenues, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS.
“Net debt” is the total of long-term debt and working capital deficiency and is used by the Company to assess our liquidity. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Net Debt” above for a reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS.
“Net operating costs” are calculated by deducting processing income, road use recoveries and realized gains and losses on power risk management contracts from operating costs and is used to assess the Company’s cost position. Processing fees are primarily generated by processing third party volumes at the Company’s facilities. In situations where the Company has excess capacity at a facility, it may agree with third parties to process their volumes to reduce the cost of operating/owning the facility. Road use recoveries are a cost recovery for the Company as we operate and maintain roads that are also used by third parties. Realized gains and losses on power risk management contracts occur upon settlement of our contracts. See “Results of Operations – Expenses – Operating” above for a reconciliation of net operating costs to operating costs, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS.
“Netback” is production revenues plus sales of commodities purchased from third parties less commodities purchased from third parties (sales), less royalties, net operating costs, transportation expenses and realized risk management gains and losses, and is used in capital allocation decisions and to economically rank projects. See "Results of Operations – Netbacks" above for a reconciliation of netbacks to sales and "Results of Operations – Production Revenues" above for a reconciliation of sales to production revenues, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS.
Non-GAAP Ratios
“Funds flow from operations – basic per share” is comprised of funds flow from operations divided by basic weighted average common shares outstanding. Funds flow from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Cash flow from Operating Activities, Funds Flow from Operations and Free Cash Flow” and “Reconciliation of Cash flow from operating activities to Funds flow from operations” above.
“Funds flow from operations – diluted per share” is comprised of funds flow from operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Funds flow from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Cash flow from Operating Activities, Funds Flow from Operations and Free Cash Flow” and “Reconciliation of Cash flow from operating activities to Funds flow from operations” above.
“Net operating costs per bbl”, “Net operating costs per mcf” and “Net operating costs per boe” are net operating costs divided by weighted average daily production on a per bbl, per mcf or per boe basis, as applicable. Net operating costs is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Results of Operations – Expenses – Operating" above.
“Netback per bbl”, “Netback per mcf” and “Netback per boe” are netbacks divided by weighted average daily production on a per bbl, per mcf or per boe basis, as applicable. Management believes that netback per boe is a key industry performance measure of operational efficiency and provides investors with information that is also commonly presented by other oil and natural gas producers. Netback is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Results of Operations – Netbacks” above.
"Sales per boe" is sales divided by weighted average daily production on a per boe basis. Sales is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Results of Operations – Production Revenues" above.

Average sales prices for light oil, heavy oil, NGLs, total liquids and natural gas are supplementary financial measures calculated by dividing each of these components of production revenues by their respective production volumes for the periods.
“Cash flow from operating activities – basic per share” is comprised of cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by basic weighted average common shares outstanding.
“Cash flow from operating activities – diluted per share" is comprised of cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
"G&A gross – per boe" is comprised of general and administrative expenses on a gross basis, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by boe for the period.
"G&A net – per boe" is comprised of general and administrative expenses on a net basis, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by boe for the period.
Oil and Natural Gas Information
Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis is misleading as an indication of value.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this document constitute forward-looking statements or information (collectively "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of the "safe harbour" provisions of applicable securities legislation. In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, without limitation, the following: the expected growth in production of our Peace River assets through further development and delineation of existing and establishing new fields in such areas; the continued development of both the Bluesky and Clearwater heavy oil formations; the expectation that our Willesden Green and Viking light oil assets will continue to generate stable production and free cash flow to help fund growth in our Peace River assets; the Company's intention to generate acceptable returns and maintain our financial strength; monetization options for our InPlay Share position including the non-binding offer received and ongoing negotiations in connection therewith; our expectations for the NCIB in 2025; potential US imposed tariffs and the anticipated impact on the global economy and commodity markets; anticipated increased output from OPEC and the expected impacts on commodity prices; our environmental remediation efforts; our intention to monitor our operations for environmental impacts and allocate capital to reclamation and other activities in the areas we operate; our intention to follow the Alberta Energy Regulator

guidance under Directive 088; our hedges; our intention to use multiple sales points in the Peace River area and the anticipated benefits in connection therewith; our expectations in connection with taxable profits and the Company's ability to utilize its remaining deferred tax asset balance; the terms and conditions under our syndicated credit facility and senior unsecured notes and our expectations if the Company is unsuccessful in renewing or replacing them in the future; our involvement with various litigation in the normal course of business and the anticipated effects thereof; how we plan to manage our debt portfolio; all information disclosed under "Sensitivity Analysis"; our future payment obligations as disclosed under "Contractual Obligations and Commitments"; that management contemplates both operating and financial risks and takes action as appropriate to limit the Company’s exposure to certain risks; and that management maintains close relationships with the Company's lenders and agents to monitor credit market developments, and these actions and plans aim to increase the likelihood of maintaining the Company's financial flexibility and capital program and the anticipated benefits in connection therewith.
With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this document, the Company has made assumptions regarding, among other things: the duration and impact of tariffs that are currently in effect on goods exported from or imported into Canada, and that other than the tariffs that are currently in effect, neither the U.S. nor Canada (i) increases the rate or scope of such tariffs, reenacts tariffs that are currently suspended, or imposes new tariffs, on the import of goods from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas, and/or (ii) imposes any other form of tax, restriction or prohibition on the import or export of products from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas; that the Company does not dispose of or acquire material producing properties or royalties or other interests therein (except as disclosed herein, including with respect to our InPlay Shares); that regional and/or global health related events will not have any adverse impact on energy demand and commodity prices in the future; global energy policies going forward, including the continued ability and willingness of members of OPEC and other nations to agree on and adhere to production quotas from time to time; our ability to qualify for (or continue to qualify for) new or existing government programs, and obtain financial assistance therefrom, and the impact of those programs on our financial condition; our ability to execute our plans as described herein and in our other disclosure documents, and the impact that the successful execution of such plans will have on our Company and our stakeholders, including our ability to return capital to shareholders and/or further reduce debt levels; future capital expenditure and decommissioning expenditure levels; expectations and assumptions concerning applicable laws and regulations, including with respect to environmental, safety and tax matters; future operating costs and G&A costs and the impact of inflation thereon; future oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas prices and differentials between light, medium and heavy oil prices and Canadian, WTI and world oil and natural gas prices; future hedging activities; future oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production levels; future exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates; future debt levels; our ability to execute our capital programs as planned without significant adverse impacts from various factors beyond our control, including extreme weather events such as wild fires, flooding and drought, infrastructure access (including the potential for blockades or other activism) and delays in obtaining regulatory approvals and third party consents; the ability of the Company's contractual counterparties to perform their contractual obligations; our ability to obtain equipment in a timely manner to carry out development activities and the costs thereof; our ability to market our oil and natural gas successfully to current and new customers; our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, including our ability (if necessary) to extend the revolving period and term out period of our credit facility, our ability to maintain the existing borrowing base under our credit facility, our ability (if necessary) to replace our syndicated bank facility and our ability (if necessary) to finance the repayment of our senior unsecured notes on maturity or pursuant to the terms of the underlying agreement; the accuracy of our estimated reserve volumes; and our ability to add production and reserves through our development and exploitation activities.
The future acquisition by the Company of the Company's common shares pursuant to its share buyback program (including through its NCIB), if any, and the level thereof is uncertain. Any decision to acquire common shares of the Company pursuant to the share buyback program will be subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the Company and may depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the Company's business performance, financial condition, financial requirements, growth plans, expected capital requirements and other conditions existing at such future time including, without limitation, contractual restrictions and satisfaction of the solvency tests imposed on the Company under applicable corporate law. There can be no assurance of the number of common shares of the Company that the Company will acquire pursuant to its share buyback program, if any, in the future.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included in this document, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the forward-looking statements contained herein will not be correct, which may cause our actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things: the risk that (i) the tariffs that are currently in effect on goods exported from or imported into Canada continue in effect for an extended period of time, the tariffs that have been threatened are implemented, that tariffs that are currently suspended are reactivated, the rate or scope of tariffs are increased, or new tariffs are imposed, including on oil and natural gas, (ii) the U.S. and/or Canada imposes any other form of tax, restriction or prohibition on the import or export of products from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas, and (iii) the tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed by the U.S. on other countries and retaliatory tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed by other countries on the U.S., will trigger a broader global trade war which could have a material adverse effect on the Canadian, U.S. and global economies, and by extension the Canadian oil and natural gas industry and the Company, including by decreasing demand for (and the price of) oil and natural gas, disrupting supply chains, increasing costs, causing volatility in global financial markets, and limiting access to financing; the possibility that we change our budgets (including our capital expenditure budgets) in response to internal and external factors, including those described herein; the possibility that the Company will not be able to continue to successfully execute our business plans and strategies in part or in full, and the possibility that some or all of the benefits that the Company anticipates will accrue to our Company and our stakeholders as a result of the successful execution of such plans and strategies do not materialize (such as our inability to return capital to shareholders and/or reduce debt levels to the extent anticipated or at all); the possibility that the Company ceases to qualify for, or does not qualify for, one or more existing or new government assistance programs, that the impact of such programs falls below our expectations, that the benefits under one or more of such programs is decreased, or that one or more of such programs is discontinued; the impact on energy demand and commodity prices of regional and/or global health related events and the responses of governments and the public thereto, including the risk that the amount of energy demand destruction and/or the length of the decreased demand exceeds our expectations; the risk that there is another significant decrease in the valuation of oil and natural gas companies and their securities and in confidence in the oil and natural gas industry generally, whether caused by regional and/or global health related events, the worldwide transition towards less reliance on fossil fuels and/or other factors; the risk that the financial capacity of the Company's contractual counterparties is adversely affected and potentially their ability to perform their contractual obligations; the possibility that the revolving period and/or term out period of our credit facility and the maturity date of our senior unsecured notes is not extended (if necessary), that the borrowing base under our credit facility is reduced, that the Company is unable to renew or refinance our credit facilities on acceptable terms or at all and/or finance the repayment of our senior unsecured notes when they mature on acceptable terms or at all and/or obtain new debt and/or equity financing to replace our credit facilities and/or senior unsecured notes or to fund other activities; the possibility that we are unable to complete one or more Repurchase Offers when otherwise required to do so; the possibility that we are forced to shut-in production, whether due to commodity prices decreasing, extreme weather events such as wild fires, inability to access our properties due to blockades or other activism, or other factors; the risk that OPEC and other nations fail to agree on and/or adhere to production quotas from time to time that are sufficient to balance supply and demand fundamentals for oil; general economic and political conditions in Canada, the U.S. and globally, and in particular, the effect that those conditions have on commodity prices and our access to capital; industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, price differentials for oil and natural gas produced in Canada as compared to other markets, and transportation restrictions, including pipeline and railway capacity constraints; fluctuations in foreign exchange, including the impact of the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on our revenues and expenses; fluctuations in interest rates, including the effects of interest rates on our borrowing costs and on economic activity, and including the risk that elevated interest rates cause or contribute to the onset of a recession; the risk that our costs increase due to inflation, supply chain disruptions, scarcity of labour and/or other factors, adversely affecting our profitability; unanticipated operating events or environmental events that can reduce production or cause production to be shut-in or delayed (including extreme cold during winter months, wild fires, flooding and droughts (which could limit our access to the water we require for our operations)); the risk that wars and other armed conflicts adversely affect world economies and the demand for oil and natural gas, including the ongoing war between Russian and Ukraine and/or hostilities in the Middle East; the possibility that fuel conservation measures, alternative
| OBSIDIAN ENERGY SECOND QUARTER 2025 | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 22 |

fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to hydrocarbons, government mandates requiring the sale of electric vehicles and/or electrification of the power grid, and technological advances in fuel economy and renewable energy generation systems could permanently reduce the demand for oil and natural gas and/or permanently impair the Company's ability to obtain financing and/or insurance on acceptable terms or at all, and the possibility that some or all of these risks are heightened as a result of the response of governments, financial institutions and consumers to a regional and/or global health related event and/or the influence of public opinion and/or special interest groups; and the other factors described under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Information Form and described in our public filings, available in Canada at www.sedarplus.ca and in the United States at www.sec.gov. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive.
The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

- Structure of Obsidian Energy
Obsidian Energy Ltd. (“Obsidian Energy”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is an exploration and production company and is governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. The Company's registered office is located at Suite 200, 207 - 9th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 1K3. 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.

The Company assesses our financial performance at the enterprise level and resource allocation decisions are made on a project basis across our 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.

At June 30, 2025, the Company completed an assessment to determine if indicators of impairment or an impairment reversal were present. No indicators were noted for our Cardium, Peace River and Viking cash generating units ("CGUs").
During the first six months of 2025, we recorded a $14.2 million impairment reversal (2024 - $2.5 million) in our Legacy CGU due to a reduction in the decommissioning liability in the area. The Legacy CGU has no recoverable amount, as such changes in our decommissioning liability are expensed or recovered each period.

On April 7, 2025, the Company closed the disposition (the "Pembina Disposition") of our operated Pembina assets (the "Pembina Assets") to InPlay Oil Corp. ("InPlay"). Total consideration for the transaction included approximately $211 million of cash (inclusive of interim closing adjustments), 9,139,784 million common shares of InPlay ("InPlay Shares") and a $15 million value associated with acquiring InPlay's 34.6 percent interest in the Willesden Green Cardium Unit #2 property.
On close of the transaction, the Company classified our InPlay Shares as held for sale resulting in the investment being measured at the lower of its carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. The valuation of the InPlay Shares was based on InPlay's closing share price on April 7, 2025 of $8.34 per InPlay Share which compared to $9.01 per InPlay Share at June 30, 2025 (Level 1 fair value).
In 2025, prior to the close of the Pembina Disposition, the Company had classified the Pembina assets as held for sale. The Pembina Assets were recorded at the lesser of fair value less costs to sell and their carrying amount, resulting in a non-cash, before tax, impairment loss of $27.4 million, which included an impairment loss of $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the decrease in value of the InPlay Shares at closing.
These impairment expenses were recorded as additional depletion, depreciation and impairment on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company has a reserve-based syndicated credit facility which is subject to a semi-annual borrowing base redetermination (typically completed in May and November of each year). The aggregate amount available under the syndicated credit facility is $235.0 million and the revolving period and maturity dates are set at May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2027, respectively.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had senior unsecured notes outstanding totaling $112.2 million which mature on July 27, 2027. The senior unsecured notes were initially issued at a price of $980 per $1,000 principal amount resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $125.0 million and at an interest rate of 11.95 percent. The senior unsecured notes are direct senior unsecured obligations of Obsidian Energy ranking equal with all other present and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.
In April 2025, the Company repurchased $2.0 million of our senior unsecured notes on the open market at a price of $1,027.5 per $1,000 principal amount.
As part of the terms of the senior unsecured notes, the Company is required, in certain circumstances, to make a repurchase offer (the "Repurchase Offer") at a price of $1,030 per $1,000 principal amount to an aggregate amount of $63.8 million (including open market purchases), which has been reduced to $48.4 million based on previous Repurchase Offers and open market purchases. The obligation to make a Repurchase Offer is based on free cash flow for the six months ended June 30 (typically offered in August) and based on free cash flow for the six months ended December 31 (typically offered in March). Minimum available liquidity thresholds and projected leverage ratios under the Company's syndicated credit facilities are also required to be met in order to proceed with a Repurchase Offer. For the first six months of 2025, based on free cash flow available and our liquidity estimates we expect to make a $48.4 million Repurchase Offer in August 2025. This amount was recorded within the current portion of long-term debt at June 30, 2025.
At June 30, 2025, letters of credit totaling $4.3 million were outstanding (December 31, 2024 – $4.4 million) that reduce the amount otherwise available to be drawn on our syndicated credit facility.

- Risk management
Financial instruments consist of cash (overdrafts), accounts receivable, fair values of derivative financial instruments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. At June 30, 2025, the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts.
The fair values of all outstanding financial commodity related contracts are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the changes during the period recorded in income as unrealized gains or losses.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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:

Market Risks
Obsidian Energy is exposed to normal market risks inherent in the oil and natural gas business, including, but not limited to, commodity price risk, foreign currency rate risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, supply cost risk, geopolitical risk and climate change risk. The Company seeks to mitigate these risks through various business processes and management controls and from time to time by using financial instruments.
The government of the United States of America continues to employ a tariff strategy on goods that are sourced in Canada and around the world. If tariffs are enforced for a prolonged period of time, it could impact the demand for energy products and, in turn, commodity prices. Production costs and supply chain expenses could also be impacted depending on the products that have tariffs placed on them. The Company will continue to monitor this situation.
There have been no material changes to these risks from those discussed in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
- Revenue and Other Income
The Company’s significant revenue streams consist of the following:

Pursuant to our return of capital initiative to our shareholders, the Company has a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") with the TSX. Purchases under the NCIB will continue to be subject to having $65 million of liquidity and complying with the terms of our current credit facilities. During the first six months of 2025, the Company utilized the NCIB which resulted in 6,533,704 common shares being repurchased and canceled at an average price of $7.06 per share for total consideration of $46.2 million. The total consideration paid includes commissions and fees and is recorded as a reduction to Shareholders' Equity.
Subsequent to June 30, 2025 and up to July 29, 2025, the Company repurchased and cancelled an additional 615,800 common shares at an average price of $8.01 per share for total consideration of $4.9 million.

- Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation expense relates to options ("Options") to acquire common shares granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”), restricted shares units (“RSUs") granted under the Restricted and Performance Share Unit Plan (“RPSU plan”), deferred share units ("DSUs") granted under the Deferred Share Unit Plan (“DSU plan”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) granted under the RPSU plan.
The DSU's and PSU's follow the liability method of accounting where the change in share price at the balance sheet date results in a mark-to-market valuation. Settlement of the units or awards, which can be in the form of cash or shares, only occurs when they vest. The Options and RSU's follow the equity method of accounting where the fair value of the option or unit is calculated at the grant date and expensed over the expected life because these securities are typically settled in shares.
Share-based compensation consisted of the following:

Deferred Share Unit plan

The DSU liability fluctuates based on the Company’s share price on the TSX at each period end date. Non-employee directors receive consideration only upon redemption of the DSUs following retirement from the Board of Directors, not before this date, with the consideration based on the volume-weighted-average trading price of the common shares on the TSX.
