Suncor’s consolidated net earnings for the first quarter of 2025 were $1.689 billion, compared to $1.610 billion in the prior year quarter. Net earnings were primarily influenced by the same factors that impacted adjusted operating earnings discussed below.
Other items affecting net earnings over these periods included:
•
An unrealized foreign exchange gain on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated debt of $14 million recorded in financing expenses in the Corporate and Eliminations segment in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a loss of $220 million in the first quarter of 2024.
•
An unrealized gain on risk management activities of $60 million recorded in other income in the first quarter of 2025, compared to an unrealized gain of $2 million in the first quarter of 2024.
•
An income tax expense related to the items noted above of $14 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a recovery of $11 million in the first quarter of 2024.

First Quarter Discussion
Bridge Analysis of Adjusted Operating Earnings ($ millions)(1)

For an explanation of this bridge analysis, see the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section of this MD&A.
Suncor’s adjusted operating earnings were $1.629 billion ($1.31 per common share) in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $1.817 billion ($1.41 per common share) in the prior year quarter, with the decrease primarily as a result of lower upstream sales volumes due to a build in inventory as production remained strong in the quarter, partially offset by higher refined products sales volumes with record first quarter refining throughput. Higher Oil Sands price realizations, which benefited from narrower differentials compared to the prior year quarter, were mostly offset by lower downstream benchmark crack spreads. The Canadian dollar also weakened against the U.S. dollar in the current quarter, resulting in a foreign exchange loss on working capital items compared to a larger gain in the prior year quarter, but a benefit to upstream price realizations.
Adjusted Funds from Operations and Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
Adjusted funds from operations were $3.045 billion ($2.46 per common share) in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $3.169 billion ($2.46 per common share) in the prior year quarter, and were primarily influenced by the same factors impacting adjusted operating earnings, excluding DD&A expenses.
Cash flow provided by operating activities, which includes changes in non-cash working capital, was $2.156 billion ($1.74 per common share) in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $2.787 billion ($2.16 per common share) in the prior year quarter. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted funds from operations, cash flow provided by operating activities were impacted by a larger use of cash associated with the company’s working capital balances in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter. Working capital is subject to fluctuations based on commodity prices, the timing of transactions and seasonal factors. The use of cash in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a build of inventory related to decreased upstream sales volumes and the timing of cargo sales and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

In the first quarter of 2025, share-based compensation expense of $145 million included $47 million in the Oil Sands segment, $2 million in the E&P segment, $25 million in the R&M segment and $71 million in the Corporate and Eliminations segment. In the first quarter of 2024, share-based compensation expense of $159 million included $51 million in the Oil Sands segment, $5 million in the E&P segment, $25 million in the R&M segment and $78 million in the Corporate and Eliminations segment.
OS&G expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower upstream sales volumes and a corresponding decrease in operating expenses as inventory was built in the latter part of the quarter, partially offset by increased mining and maintenance activity and higher commodity input volumes. The company’s exposure to commodity costs is partially mitigated by revenue from power sales that are recorded in operating revenues.

2-1-1 crack spreads are indicators of the refining margin generated by converting two barrels of WTI into one barrel of gasoline and one barrel of diesel. The crack spreads presented here generally approximate the regions into which the company sells refined products through retail and wholesale channels.

Suncor has developed an indicative 5-2-2-1 index based on publicly available pricing data to more accurately reflect the company’s realized refining and marketing gross margin. For more details, including how the 5-2-2-1 index is calculated, see Suncor’s 2024 annual MD&A.

Oil Sands segment adjusted operating earnings increased to $1.620 billion in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $1.365 billion in the prior year quarter, primarily due to narrower heavy crude oil and SYN-WTI differentials, the favourable impact of foreign exchange rates on benchmark pricing and decreased operating expenses as inventory was built in the latter part of the quarter, partially offset by lower sales volumes.

Oil Sands Base upgrader yields are approximately 80% of bitumen throughput and Syncrude upgrader yield is approximately 85% of bitumen throughput. Upgrader utilization rates are calculated using total upgraded production, inclusive of internally consumed products and inter-asset transfers.
(2)
Both Oil Sands operations and Syncrude produce diesel and other products, which are internally consumed in operations. In the first quarter of 2025, Oil Sands operations produced 17,700 bbls/d of internally consumed products, of which 10,900 bbls/d was consumed at Oil Sands operations, 5,700 bbls/d was consumed at Fort Hills and 1,100 bbls/d was consumed at Syncrude. Syncrude produced 3,700 bbls/d of internally consumed products.
(3)
In the first quarter of 2025, upgraded inter-asset transfers consist of 9,300 bbls/d of sour SCO that was transferred from Oil Sands operations to Syncrude.
(4)
In the first quarter of 2025, non-upgraded inter-asset transfers consist of 62,000 bbls/d of bitumen that was transferred from Fort Hills to Oil Sands Base and 25,400 bbls/d of bitumen that was transferred from Firebag to Syncrude.
Total Oil Sands bitumen production increased to 937,300 bbls/d in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 932,100 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, as record first quarter Firebag production more than offset slightly lower mining production.
The company’s net SCO production was 536,600 bbls/d in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 545,000 bbls/d in the prior year quarter and included upgrader utilization of 103% at Oil Sands Base and 100% at Syncrude, compared to 107% and 96%, respectively, in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to fewer maintenance activities in the prior year quarter, which was an all-time record for net SCO production.
Non-upgraded bitumen production increased to 254,300 bbls/d in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 240,000 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher upgrader availability in the prior year quarter.

Oil Sands price realizations increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to narrower heavy crude oil and SYN-WTI differentials and the favourable impact of foreign exchange rates on benchmark pricing.
Royalties
Royalties for the Oil Sands segment increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher bitumen pricing.
Expenses and Other Factors
Total Oil Sands operating expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower sales volumes and a corresponding decrease in operating expenses as inventory was built in the latter part of the quarter, partially offset by increased mining activity, increased maintenance costs and higher commodity input volumes.
DD&A expense increased slightly in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the commissioning of new assets and new leases entered into during the quarter, partially offset by decreased depreciation related to the company’s asset retirement obligation assets.
Financing expense and other, which includes other income, increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased interest related to leases.

Strong downstream operating performance resulted in record first quarter refinery throughput of 482,700 bbls/d and refinery utilization of 104%, compared to 455,300 bbls/d and 98%, respectively, in the prior year quarter, which was also impacted by higher planned maintenance activities.
R&M achieved record first quarter refined product sales of 604,900 bbls/d in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 581,000 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, with the increase primarily due to higher refinery throughput and the benefit of the company’s extensive sales and retail network.
Refining and Marketing Gross Margins(1)
Refining and marketing gross margins were influenced by the following:
•
On a LIFO(2) basis, Suncor’s refining and marketing gross margin decreased to $38.00/bbl in the first quarter of 2025, from $45.75/bbl in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower benchmark crack spreads and narrower crude differentials, partially offset by higher location differentials associated with the company’s regional markets and strong branded channel performance, contributing to a 99% margin capture compared to Suncor’s 5-2-2-1 index.
•
On a FIFO basis, Suncor’s refining and marketing gross margin decreased to $36.70/bbl in the first quarter of 2025, from $46.65/bbl in the prior year quarter, due to the same factors discussed above, in addition to FIFO inventory valuation impacts. In the first quarter of 2025, the FIFO method of inventory valuation resulted in a loss of $60 million, compared to a gain of $40 million in the prior year quarter, for an unfavourable quarter-over-quarter impact of $100 million.

Corporate incurred an adjusted operating loss of $301 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a loss of $196 million in the prior year quarter. The increased loss was primarily attributable to an operational foreign exchange loss in the first quarter of 2025 compared to a gain in the prior year quarter, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter.
Eliminations reflect the deferral or realization of profit or loss on crude oil sales from Oil Sands to Suncor’s refineries. Consolidated profits and losses are only realized when the refined products from internal purchases have been sold to third parties. During the first quarter of 2025, the company realized $72 million of intersegment profit, compared to an elimination of $123 million in the prior year quarter. The realization of intersegment profit in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in crude feedstock costs and a decrease in intersegment inventory volumes.
Corporate and Eliminations adjusted funds used in operations were $349 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted funds used in operations of $398 million in the prior year quarter, and were influenced by the same factors impacting adjusted operating earnings, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense.

The provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2025 decreased to $601 million, compared to $610 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a decrease in taxable earnings. In the first quarter of 2025, the company’s effective tax rate on net earnings decreased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to non-taxable foreign exchange gains on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated debt, as well as other permanent items impacting total tax expense in the first quarter of 2025.

For the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, and the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, there were no impairments or impairment reversals. As a result, ROCE excluding impairments was equal to ROCE.
(3)
Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, the company revised the definition of ROCE to exclude lease liabilities from the calculation of average capital employed and interest on lease liabilities from net interest expense to better align with how management and industry monitor capital structure. Prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect this change.

Capital Resources
Suncor’s capital resources consist primarily of cash flow provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, and available lines of credit. Suncor’s management believes the company will have the capital resources required to fund its planned 2025 capital spending program of $6.1 billion to $6.3 billion, and to meet current and future working capital requirements, through cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow provided by operating activities, available committed credit facilities, issuing commercial paper and, if needed, accessing capital markets. The company’s cash flow provided by operating activities depends on several factors, including commodity prices, production, sales volumes, refining and marketing gross margins, operating expenses, taxes, royalties and foreign exchange rates.
The company has invested cash in short-term financial instruments that are presented as cash and cash equivalents. The objectives of the company’s short-term investment portfolio are to ensure the preservation of capital, maintain adequate liquidity to meet Suncor’s cash flow requirements, and deliver competitive returns derived from the quality and diversification of investments within acceptable risk parameters. The maximum weighted average term to maturity of the short-term investment portfolio is not expected to exceed six months, and all investments are with counterparties with investment-grade debt ratings.
Available Sources of Liquidity
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $2.773 billion from $3.484 billion as at December 31, 2024. The use of cash in the first quarter of 2025 was due to the company’s shareholder returns, including the repurchase of Suncor’s common shares under its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) and the payment of dividends, and the company’s capital and exploration expenditures exceeding the company’s cash flow provided by operating activities.
As at March 31, 2025, the weighted average days to maturity of the company’s short-term investment portfolio was approximately 32 days.
As at March 31, 2025, available credit facilities for liquidity purposes were $5.470 billion, compared to $5.475 billion as at December 31, 2024.
Financing Activities
Management of debt levels and liquidity continues to be a priority for Suncor given the company’s long-term plans and the expected future volatility in the business environment. Suncor believes a phased and flexible approach to existing and future projects will help the company maintain its ability to manage project costs and debt levels.
Total Debt to Total Debt Plus Shareholders’ Equity
Suncor is subject to financial and operating covenants related to its bank debt and public market debt. Failure to meet the terms of one or more of these covenants may constitute an “event of default” as defined in the respective debt agreements, potentially resulting in accelerated repayment of one or more of the debt obligations. The company is in compliance with its financial covenant that requires total debt and lease liabilities to not exceed 65% of its total debt and lease liabilities plus shareholders’ equity. As at March 31, 2025, total debt and lease liabilities to total debt and lease liabilities plus shareholders’ equity was 24.8% (December 31, 2024 – 24.8%). The company also continues to be in compliance with all operating covenants under its debt agreements.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, the company revised the definition of net debt and total debt to exclude lease liabilities to better align with how management and industry monitor capital structure. Prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect this change.
The company’s total debt decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2025, due to favourable foreign exchange rates on U.S. dollar denominated debt compared to December 31, 2024.
As at March 31, 2025, Suncor’s net debt was $7.559 billion, compared to $6.861 billion as at December 31, 2024. The increase in net debt was primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and the factors discussed above.

Between March 3, 2025, and May 1, 2025, pursuant to Suncor’s NCIB, Suncor repurchased 10,039,441 common shares on the open market, representing the equivalent of 0.8% of its common shares as at February 18, 2025, for $511 million, at a weighted average price of $50.91 per share.
The actual number of common shares that may be repurchased under the NCIB and the timing of any such repurchases will be determined by Suncor. The company believes that, depending on the trading price of its common shares and other relevant factors, repurchasing its own shares represents an attractive investment opportunity and is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. The company does not expect the decision to allocate cash to repurchase shares will affect its long-term strategy.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Guarantees and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the company is obligated to make future payments, including contractual obligations and non-cancellable commitments. Suncor has included these items in the Financial Condition and Liquidity section of the 2024 annual MD&A, with no material updates to note during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Suncor does not believe it has any guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the company’s financial performance or financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

7. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA
Trends in Suncor’s quarterly revenue, earnings and adjusted funds from operations are driven primarily by production volumes, which can be significantly impacted by major maintenance events, changes in commodity prices and crude differentials, refining crack spreads, foreign exchange rates and other significant events impacting operations, such as operational incidents.

8. OTHER ITEMS
Accounting Policies and New IFRS Standards
Suncor’s significant accounting policies and a summary of recently announced accounting standards are described in the Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates section of Suncor’s 2024 annual MD&A and in notes 3 and 5 of Suncor’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, gains and losses, and disclosures of contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are subject to change based on experience and new information. Critical accounting estimates are those that require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Critical accounting estimates are also those estimates that, where a different estimate could have been used or where changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material impact on the company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or financial performance. Critical accounting estimates and judgments are reviewed annually by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. A detailed description of Suncor’s critical accounting estimates is provided in note 4 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in the Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates section of Suncor’s 2024 annual MD&A.
Financial Instruments
Suncor periodically enters into derivative contracts such as forwards, futures, swaps, options and costless collars to manage exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, and to optimize the company’s position with respect to interest payments. For more information on Suncor’s financial instruments and the related financial risk factors, see note 27 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, note 9 to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the Financial Condition and Liquidity section of the 2024 annual MD&A.
Control Environment
Based on their evaluation as at March 31, 2025, Suncor’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in reports that are filed or submitted to Canadian and U.S. securities authorities is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Canadian and U.S. securities laws. In addition, as at March 31, 2025, there were no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management will continue to periodically evaluate the company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and will make any modifications as deemed necessary from time to time.
Based on their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and even those controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Tariffs
In March 2025, the government of the United States of America announced tariffs on certain goods and products. Several countries (including Canada) responded with an escalation in tariffs and/or retaliatory tariffs. This has resulted in economic uncertainty in the global markets, disruption of supply chains, international competitiveness and fluctuations in commodity pricing. The company is closely monitoring these developments and will continue to assess the impacts of such tariffs and measures as the situation develops.
Corporate Guidance
There have been no changes to Suncor’s previously announced 2025 corporate guidance ranges (which were originally disclosed via press release on December 12, 2024), a copy of which is also available on www.sedarplus.ca.

9. NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES ADVISORY
Certain financial measures in this MD&A – namely adjusted operating earnings (loss), adjusted funds from (used in) operations, measures contained in ROCE and ROCE excluding impairments and impairment reversals, price realizations, free funds flow, Oil Sands operations cash operating costs, Fort Hills cash operating costs, Syncrude cash operating costs, refining and marketing gross margin, refining operating expense, net debt, total debt, LIFO inventory valuation methodology and related per share or per barrel amounts or metrics that contain such measures – are not prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are included because management uses the information to analyze business performance, leverage and liquidity, as applicable, and it may be useful to investors on the same basis. These non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Therefore, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP financial measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods.
Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss)
Adjusted operating earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts net earnings (loss) for significant items that are not indicative of operating performance. Management uses adjusted operating earnings (loss) to evaluate operating performance because management believes it provides better comparability between periods. Adjusted operating earnings (loss) is reconciled to net earnings (loss) in the Consolidated Financial and Operating Information and Segment Results and Analysis sections of this MD&A.
Bridge Analyses of Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss)
Within this MD&A, the company presents a chart that illustrates the change in adjusted operating earnings (loss) from the comparative period through key variance factors. These factors are analyzed in the Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) narratives following the bridge analysis in this MD&A. This bridge analysis is presented because management uses this presentation to evaluate performance. All reconciling items are presented on a before-tax basis and adjusted for income taxes in the Income Tax bridge factor.
•
The factor for Sales Volumes and Mix is calculated based on sales volumes and mix for the Oil Sands and E&P segments and refinery production volumes for the R&M segment.
•
The factor for Price, Margin and Other Revenue includes upstream price realizations before royalties, except for the company’s Libya operations, which is net of royalties, and realized commodity risk management activities. Also included are refining and marketing gross margins, other operating revenue and the net impacts of sales and purchases of third-party crude, including product purchased for use as diluent in the company’s Oil Sands operations and subsequently sold as part of diluted bitumen.
•
The factor for Royalties excludes the impact of the company’s Libya operations, as royalties in Libya are included in Price, Margin and Other Revenue as described above.
•
The factor for Inventory Valuation is comprised of changes in the FIFO inventory valuation and the realized portion of commodity risk management activities reported in the R&M segment, as well as the impact of the deferral or realization of profit or loss on crude oil sales from the Oil Sands segment to Suncor’s refineries reported in the Corporate and Eliminations segment.
•
The factor for Operating and Transportation Expense includes project startup costs, OS&G expense and transportation expense.
•
The factor for Financing Expense and Other includes financing expenses, other income, operational foreign exchange gains and losses and changes in gains and losses on disposal of assets that are not adjusted operating earnings (loss) adjustments.
•
The factor for DD&A and Exploration Expense includes depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and exploration expense.
•
The factor for Income Tax includes the company’s current and deferred income tax expense on adjusted operating earnings, changes in statutory income tax rates and other income tax adjustments.

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and ROCE Excluding Impairments and Impairment Reversals
ROCE is a non-GAAP ratio that management uses to analyze operating performance and the efficiency of Suncor’s capital allocation process. ROCE is calculated using the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net earnings and average capital employed. Adjusted net earnings are calculated by taking net earnings (loss) and adjusting after-tax amounts for unrealized foreign exchange on U.S. dollar denominated debt and net interest expense. Average capital employed is calculated as a twelve-month average of the capital employed balance at the beginning of the twelve-month period and the month-end capital employed balances throughout the remainder of the twelve-month period. Figures for capital employed at the beginning and end of the twelve-month period are presented to show the changes in the components of the calculation over the twelve-month period.

First Quarter Discussion
Adjusted Funds From (Used In) Operations
Adjusted funds from (used in) operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts a GAAP measure – cash flow provided by operating activities – for changes in non-cash working capital, which management uses to analyze operating performance and liquidity. Changes to non-cash working capital can be impacted by, among other factors, commodity price volatility, the timing of offshore feedstock purchases and payments for commodity and income taxes, the timing of cash flows related to accounts receivable and accounts payable, and changes in inventory, which management believes reduces comparability between periods.
Adjusted funds from (used in) operations for each quarter are separately defined and reconciled to the cash flow provided by the operating activities measure in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section of each respective MD&A or Quarterly Report to shareholders, as applicable, for the related quarter, with such information being incorporated by reference herein and available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Oil Sands Operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude Cash Operating Costs
Cash operating costs are calculated by adjusting Oil Sands segment OS&G expenses for non-production costs and excess power capacity. Significant non-production costs include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation adjustments, research costs, project startup costs and adjustments to reflect the cost of internal transfers in the receiving asset at the cost of production versus the cost of purchase. Non-production costs at Fort Hills and Syncrude also include, but are not limited to, an adjustment to reflect internally produced diesel from Oil Sands operations at the cost of production. Excess power capacity represents excess power revenue from cogeneration units that is recorded in operating revenues. Oil Sands operations excess power capacity and other also includes, but is not limited to, the natural gas expense recorded as part of a non-monetary arrangement involving a third-party processor. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude production volumes are gross of internally consumed diesel and feedstock transfers between assets. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude cash operating costs are reconciled in the Segment Results and Analysis – Oil Sands – Cash Operating Costs section of this MD&A. Management uses cash operating costs to measure operating performance.

First Quarter Discussion
Refining and Marketing Gross Margin and Refining Operating Expense
Refining and marketing gross margins and refining operating expense are non-GAAP financial measures. Refining and marketing gross margin, on a FIFO basis, is calculated by adjusting R&M segment operating revenue, other income and purchases of crude oil and products (all of which are GAAP measures) for intersegment marketing fees recorded in intersegment revenues. Refining and marketing gross margin, on a LIFO basis, is further adjusted for the impacts of FIFO inventory valuation recorded in purchases of crude oil and products and risk management activities recorded in other income (loss). Refinery operating expense is calculated by adjusting R&M segment OS&G expenses for i) non-refining costs pertaining to the company’s supply, marketing and ethanol businesses; and ii) non-refining costs that management believes do not relate to the production of refined products, including, but not limited to, share-based compensation and enterprise shared service allocations. Management uses refining and marketing gross margin and refining operating expense to measure operating performance on a production barrel basis.

Refinery production is the output of the refining process and differs from crude oil processed as a result of volumetric adjustments for non-crude feedstock, volumetric gain associated with the refining process and changes in unfinished product inventories.
30 2025 First Quarter Suncor Energy Inc.
Impact of FIFO Inventory Valuation on Refining and Marketing Net Earnings (Loss)
GAAP requires the use of a FIFO inventory valuation methodology. For Suncor, this results in a disconnect between the sales prices for refined products, which reflect current market conditions, and the amount recorded as the cost of sale for the related refinery feedstock, which reflects market conditions at the time the feedstock was purchased. This lag between purchase and sale can be anywhere from several weeks to several months and is influenced by the time to receive crude after purchase, regional crude inventory levels, the completion of refining processes, transportation time to distribution channels and regional refined product inventory levels.
Suncor prepares and presents an estimate of the impact of using a FIFO inventory valuation methodology compared to a LIFO methodology, because management uses the information to analyze operating performance and compare itself against refining peers that are permitted to use LIFO inventory valuation under U.S. GAAP.
The company’s estimate is not derived from a standardized calculation and, therefore, may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP or U.S. GAAP.
Net Debt and Total Debt
Net debt and total debt are non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to analyze the financial condition of the company. Total debt includes short-term debt, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt (all of which are GAAP measures). Net debt is equal to total debt less cash and cash equivalents (a GAAP measure).

Forward-Looking Statements
This MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements and other information based on Suncor’s current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions that were made by the company in light of information available at the time the statement was made and consider Suncor’s experience and its perception of historical trends, including expectations and assumptions concerning: the accuracy of reserves estimates; commodity prices and interest and foreign exchange rates; the performance of assets and equipment; uncertainty related to geopolitical conflict; capital efficiencies and cost savings; applicable laws and government policies; future production rates; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the availability and cost of labour, services and infrastructure; the satisfaction by third parties of their obligations to Suncor; the development and execution of projects; and the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and third-party approvals. All statements and information that address expectations or projections about the future, and other statements and information about Suncor’s strategy for growth, expected and future expenditures or investment decisions, commodity prices, costs, schedules, production volumes, operating and financial results, future financing and capital activities, and the expected impact of future commitments are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements may be identified by words like “expects”, “anticipates”, “will”, “estimates”, “plans”, “scheduled”, “intends”, “believes”, “projects”, “indicates”, “could”, “focus”, “vision”, “goal”, “outlook”, “proposed”, “target”, “objective”, “continue”, “should”, “may”, “future”, “potential”, “opportunity”, “would”, “priority”, “strategy” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this MD&A include references to:
•
Suncor’s strategy, focus, goals and priorities and the expected benefits therefrom;
•
expectations regarding planned maintenance events, including the timing and completion of turnarounds at the Sarnia and Edmonton refineries and at Firebag, and maintenance events at Oil Sands Upgrader 1 and Fort Hills.
•
Suncor’s expectation that production at White Rose will return to normal levels in the second quarter;
•
Suncor’s expectation that In Situ design and construction of new well pads will maintain existing production levels;
•
statements regarding Suncor’s planned 2025 capital spending program of $6.1 billion to $6.3 billion, including Suncor’s management’s belief that it will have the capital resources to fund it and to meet current and future working capital requirements through cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow provided by operating activities, available committed credit facilities, issuing commercial paper and, if needed, accessing capital markets;
•
the objectives of Suncor’s short-term investment portfolio and Suncor’s expectation that the maximum weighted average term to maturity of the short-term investment portfolio will not exceed six months, and that all investments will be with counterparties with investment-grade debt ratings;
•
the company’s priority regarding the management of debt levels and liquidity given the company’s long-term plans and future expected volatility in the pricing environment, and Suncor’s belief that a phased and flexible approach to existing and future projects will help the company manage project costs and debt levels; and
•
the company’s belief that it does not have any guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the company’s financial performance or financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some that are similar to other oil and gas companies and some that are unique to Suncor. Suncor’s actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by its forward-looking statements, so readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. The financial and operating performance of the company’s reportable operating segments, specifically Oil Sands, E&P and R&M, may be affected by a number of factors.
Factors that affect Suncor’s Oil Sands segment include, but are not limited to, volatility in the prices for crude oil and other production, and the related impacts of fluctuating light/heavy and sweet/sour crude oil differentials; changes in the demand for refinery feedstock and diesel fuel, including the possibility that refiners that process the company’s proprietary production will be closed, experience equipment failure or other accidents; Suncor’s ability to operate its Oil Sands facilities reliably in order to meet production targets; the output of newly commissioned facilities, the performance of which may be difficult to predict during initial operations; Suncor’s dependence on pipeline capacity and other logistical constraints, which may affect the company’s ability to distribute products to market and which may cause the company to delay or cancel planned growth projects in the event of insufficient takeaway capacity; Suncor’s ability to finance Oil Sands economic investment and asset sustainment and maintenance capital expenditures; the availability of bitumen feedstock for upgrading operations, which can be negatively affected by poor ore grade quality, unplanned mine equipment and extraction plant maintenance, tailings storage, and In Situ reservoir and equipment performance, or the unavailability of third-party bitumen; changes in operating costs, including the cost of labour, natural gas and other energy sources used in oil sands processes; and the company’s ability to complete projects, including planned maintenance events, both on time and on budget, which could be impacted by competition from other projects (including other oil sands projects) for goods and services and demands on infrastructure in Alberta’s Wood Buffalo region and the surrounding area (including housing, roads and schools).
Factors that affect Suncor’s E&P segment include, but are not limited to, volatility in crude oil and natural gas prices; operational risks and uncertainties associated with oil and gas activities, including unexpected formations or pressures, premature declines of reservoirs,

fires, blow-outs, equipment failures and other accidents, uncontrollable flows of crude oil, natural gas or well fluids, and pollution and other environmental risks; adverse weather conditions, which could disrupt output from producing assets or impact drilling programs, resulting in increased costs and/or delays in bringing on new production; political, economic and socioeconomic risks associated with Suncor’s foreign operations, including the unpredictability of operating in Libya due to ongoing political unrest; and market demand for mineral rights and producing properties, potentially leading to losses on disposition or increased property acquisition costs.
Factors that affect the R&M segment include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in demand and supply for refined products that impact the company’s margins; market competition, including potential new market entrants; the company’s ability to reliably operate refining and marketing facilities to meet production or sales targets; and risks and uncertainties affecting construction or planned maintenance schedules, including the availability of labour and other impacts of competing projects drawing on the same resources during the same time period.
Additional risks, uncertainties and other factors that could influence the financial and operating performance of all of Suncor’s operating segments and activities include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic, market and business conditions, such as commodity prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and potential trade tariffs (including as a result of demand and supply effects resulting from the actions of OPEC+ and/or the impact of armed conflicts in the Middle East, the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and/or the impact of changes to the U.S. government economic policy); fluctuations in supply and demand for Suncor’s products; the successful and timely implementation of capital projects, including growth projects and regulatory projects; risks associated with the development and execution of Suncor’s major projects and the commissioning and integration of new facilities; the possibility that completed maintenance activities may not improve operational performance or the output of related facilities; the risk that projects and initiatives intended to achieve cash flow growth and/or reductions in operating costs may not achieve the expected results in the time anticipated or at all; competitive actions of other companies, including increased competition from other oil and gas companies or from companies that provide alternative sources of energy; labour and material shortages; actions by government authorities, including the imposition or reassessment of, or changes to, taxes, fees, royalties, duties and other government-imposed compliance costs; changes to laws and government policies that could impact the company’s business, including environmental (including climate change), royalty and tax laws and policies; the ability and willingness of parties with whom Suncor has material relationships to perform their obligations to the company; the unavailability of, or outages to, third-party infrastructure that could cause disruptions to production or prevent the company from being able to transport its products; the occurrence of a protracted operational outage, a major safety or environmental incident, or unexpected events such as fires (including forest fires), equipment failures and other similar events affecting Suncor or other parties whose operations or assets directly or indirectly affect Suncor; the potential for security breaches of Suncor’s information technology and infrastructure by malicious persons or entities, and the unavailability or failure of such systems to perform as anticipated as a result of such breaches; security threats and terrorist or activist activities; the risk that competing business objectives may exceed Suncor’s capacity to adopt and implement change; risks and uncertainties associated with obtaining regulatory, third-party and stakeholder approvals outside of Suncor’s control for the company’s operations, projects, initiatives and exploration and development activities and the satisfaction of any conditions to approvals; the potential for disruptions to operations and construction projects as a result of Suncor’s relationships with labour unions that represent employees at the company’s facilities; the company’s ability to find new oil and gas reserves that can be developed economically; the accuracy of Suncor’s reserves, resources and future production estimates; market instability affecting Suncor’s ability to borrow in the capital debt markets at acceptable rates or to issue other securities at acceptable prices; the ability to maintain an optimal debt to cash flow ratio; the success of the company’s marketing and logistics activities using derivatives and other financial instruments; the cost of compliance with current and future environmental laws, including climate change laws; risks relating to increased activism and public opposition to fossil fuels and oil sands; the ability of counterparties to comply with their obligations in a timely manner; risks associated with joint arrangements in which the company has an interest; risks associated with land claims and Indigenous consultation requirements; the risk that the company may be subject to litigation; the impact of technology and risks associated with developing and implementing new technologies; and the accuracy of cost estimates, some of which are provided at the conceptual or other preliminary stage of projects and prior to commencement or conception of the detailed engineering that is needed to reduce the margin of error and increase the level of accuracy. The foregoing important factors are not exhaustive.
Many of these risk factors and other assumptions related to Suncor’s forward-looking statements are discussed in further detail throughout this MD&A, and in the company’s 2024 annual MD&A, the 2024 AIF and Form 40-F on file with Canadian securities commissions at www.sedarplus.ca and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. Readers are also referred to the risk factors and assumptions described in other MD&As that Suncor files from time to time with securities regulatory authorities. Copies of these MD&As are available without charge from the company.
The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are made as of the date of this MD&A. Except as required by applicable securities laws, we assume no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements or the foregoing risks and assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
