DISCLOSURECONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A.Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Vermilion Energy Inc. (the "Registrant") maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Registrant's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after having evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report have concluded that, as of such date, the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

It should be noted that while the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer believe that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

NOTICESREQUIRED BY RULE 104 OF REGULATION BTR

None


AUDITCOMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Registrant's Board of Directors has determined that it has at least one audit committee financial expert (as such term is defined in the rules and regulations of the Commission) serving on its Audit Committee. Catherine L. Williams has been determined to be such audit committee financial expert and is independent (as such term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange's corporate governance standards).

The Commission has indicated that the designation of Catherine L. Williams as an audit committee financial expert does not make her an "expert" for any purpose, impose on her any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on her as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors in absence of such designation, or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board of Directors.

CODEOF ETHICS

The Registrant has adopted a written “code of ethics” (as that term is defined in Form 40-F) that applies to its directors, officers and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions.  A copy of such code of ethics is available upon request or on the Registrant’s website at www.vermilionenergy.com. In 2019, other than amendments to conform the code of ethics with the Registrant's approach to respecting human rights, there were no amendments to the code of ethics or waivers, including implicit waivers, from any provisions of the code of ethics.

PRINCIPALACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

See page 58 of the Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit related fees. The auditors present the estimate for the annual audit related services to the Audit Committee for approval prior to undertaking the annual audit of the financial statements.

All non-audit fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee and none were approved on the basis of the de minimis exemption set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X .

OFF-BALANCESHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Registrant has not entered into any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

IDENTIFICATIONOF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Registrant’s Board of Directors has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act which satisfies the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10A-3. The Registrant’s Audit Committee is comprised of Catherine L. Williams (Chair), Stephen P. Larke, Larry J. Macdonald, and Robert B. Michaleski, all of whom, in the opinion of the Registrant’s Board of Directors are independent (as determined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the corporate governance standards of the NYSE) and are financially literate. Please refer to the Company's Annual Information Form attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F for details in connection with each of these members and their qualifications.

The members of the Audit Committee do not have fixed terms and are appointed from time to time by resolution of the directors.

The Audit Committee meets with the Registrant's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s independent auditors to review and inquire into matters affecting financial reporting, the system of internal accounting and financial controls, as well as audit procedures and audit plans. The Audit Committee also recommends to the Board of Directors which independent registered public auditing firm should be appointed by the Company, and reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors for approval the Registrant’s audited annual financial statements and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis.

The full text of the Audit Committee Terms of Reference is disclosed in the Company’s Annual Information Form, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 40-F.

As a Canadian corporation with securities listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the Registrant is required to comply with all applicable Canadian requirements adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators and the TSX, and applicable rules for foreign private issuers adopted by the Commission which give effect to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”).

The Registrant’s corporate governance practices meet or exceed all applicable Canadian and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements and also incorporate many “best practices” derived from those required to be followed by U.S. domestic companies under the NYSE listing standards. In accordance with Section 303A.11 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Registrant has prepared a summary of the significant ways in which its corporate governance practices differ from those required to be followed by U.S. domestic companies under the NYSE’s corporate governance standards, which is accessible on the Registrant’s website at http://www.vermilionenergy.com/about/governance.cfm.

Presentation of Oil and Gas Information

Oil and gas reserves and production

All oil and natural gas reserve information contained in this annual information form is derived from the GLJ Report and has been prepared and presented in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGEH”) and National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). The actual oil and natural gas reserves and future production will be greater than or less than the estimates provided in this annual information form. The estimated future net revenue from the production of the disclosed oil and natural gas reserves does not represent the fair market value of these reserves.

Natural gas volumes have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent. 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.

Contingent resources

"Contingent resources" are not, and should not be confused with, petroleum and natural gas reserves. "Contingent resources" are defined in COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resource the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage.

The primary contingencies which currently prevent the classification of Vermilion’s contingent resource as reserves include but are not limited to:

preparation<br> of firm development plans, including determination of the specific scope and timing of<br> projects;
project<br> sanction;
--- ---
access<br> to capital markets;
--- ---
shareholder<br> and regulatory approvals as applicable;
--- ---
access<br> to required services and field development infrastructure;
--- ---
oil<br> and natural gas prices in Canada and internationally in jurisdictions in which Vermilion<br> operates;
--- ---
demonstration<br> of economic viability;
--- ---
future<br> drilling program and testing results;
--- ---
further<br> reservoir delineation and studies;
--- ---
facility<br> design work;
--- ---
corporate<br> commitment;
--- ---
development<br> timing;
--- ---
limitations<br> to development based on adverse topography or other surface restrictions; and
--- ---
the<br> uncertainty regarding marketing and transportation of petroleum from development areas.
--- ---

There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources or that Vermilion will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as contingent resources. The estimates of contingent resources involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the contingent resources described exists in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the contingent resources can be profitably produced in the future.  The estimated netpresent value of the future net revenue from the contingent resources does not represent the fair market value of the contingentresources. Actual contingent resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as reserves) and future production therefrom may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

Prospective resources

“Prospective resources" are not, and should not be confused with, petroleum and natural gas reserves. "Prospective resources" are defined in COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects.

| Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 7 ■  2019 Annual Information Form |

| --- |

There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the prospective resources or that Vermilion will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as prospective resources. The estimates of prospective resources involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described exists in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the resources can be profitably produced in the future. The estimated net present value of the future net revenue from theprospective resources does not represent the fair market value of the prospective resources. The recovery and resources estimates provided herein are estimates only. Actual prospective resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as reserves or contingent resources) and future production from such prospective resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

Non-GAAP Measures


This AIF includes references to certain financial and performance measures which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These measures include:

Fund<br> flows from operations: Fund flows from operations is a measure of profit or loss in accordance<br> with IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”.  Please see "Segmented information"<br> in the "Notes to the consolidated financial statements" for a reconciliation<br> of fund flows from operations to net earnings.  Vermilion analyzes fund flows<br> from operations both on a consolidated basis and on a business unit basis in order to<br> assess the contribution of each business unit to the Company's ability to generate income<br> necessary to pay dividends, repay debt, fund asset retirement obligations and make capital<br> investments.
Netbacks:<br> Netbacks are per boe and per mcf performance measures used in the analysis of operational<br> activities.  Vermilion assesses netbacks both on a consolidated basis and on<br> a business unit basis in order to compare and assess the operational and financial performance<br> of each business unit versus other business units and also versus third party crude oil<br> and natural gas producers.

Description of the Business

Vermilion is an international energy producer that seeks to create value through the acquisition, exploration, development and optimization of producing properties in North America, Europe and Australia. Vermilion focuses on the exploitation of light oil and liquids-rich natural gas conventional resource plays in Canada and the United States, the exploration and development of high impact natural gas opportunities in the Netherlands and Germany, and oil drilling and workover programs in Germany, France and Australia. Vermilion also holds a 20% operated working interest in the Corrib gas field in Ireland.

Vermilion's priorities are health and safety, the environment, and profitability, in that order. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of the public and those who work with us, and the protection of our natural surroundings. Vermilion has been recognized as a top decile performer amongst Canadian publicly listed companies in governance practices, as a Climate "A" List performer by the CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), and a Best Workplace in the Great Place to Work® Institute's annual rankings in Canada, the Netherlands and Germany. Vermilion emphasizes strategic community investment in each of our operating areas.

Vermilion has operations in three core areas: North America, Europe and Australia. Vermilion's business within these regions is managed at the country level through business units which form the basis of the Company's operating segments. These business units and the material oil and natural gas properties, facilities and installations in which Vermilion has an interest are discussed below.

The following table summarizes production, sales, proved reserves, and proved plus probable reserves for each of Vermilion's business units as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019:

Vermilion’s Canadian operations are primarily focused in the West Pembina region of West Central Alberta and in southeast Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In West Pembina, the company targets condensate-rich Mannville natural gas and Cardium light oil plays, while in southeast Saskatchewan and Manitoba the company targets light oil in the Mississippian Midale, Frobisher/Alida and Ratcliffe formations. West Pembina is the Company's main natural gas liquids ("NGL") producing area.

Vermilion holds an average 79% working interest in approximately 837,000 (665,300 net) acres of developed land, and an average 87% working interest in approximately 484,500 (423,200 net) acres of undeveloped land. Vermilion had 538 (439 net) producing natural gas wells and 4,049 (3,402 net) producing oil wells in Canada as at December 31, 2019.

Vermilion has access to ample facilities and processing capacity across the major plays in its Canadian portfolio. In Alberta, Vermilion's operations are concentrated in core geographic regions where the Company owns and operates the large majority of associated key infrastructure including pipelines, compressor stations, oil batteries and gas plants, many of which have surplus capacity for future production. Furthermore, the Company is interconnected in several locations with third party midstream infrastructure that provides significant capacity for growth. In Saskatchewan, where operations are focused on light oil, Vermilion owns and operates an extensive network of pipelines and oil batteries that also have surplus capacity for future production. This high degree of operating control and access to key infrastructure across Vermilion's Canadian properties allows the Company to drive operating efficiencies in the field while supporting future growth opportunities.

During 2019 Vermilion drilled or participated in 22 (21.5 net) wells in Alberta and 130 (110.5 net) wells in Saskatchewan. In 2020, we plan to drill or participate in 87 (76.3 net) light oil wells in Saskatchewan and 20 (19.2 net) wells in Alberta as we continue to develop our light oil projects in Saskatchewan and focus on our condensate-rich natural gas targets in the Mannville.


France Business Unit

Vermilion entered France in 1997 and completed three additional acquisitions in subsequent years. Vermilion is the largest oil producer in the country with approximately three-quarters of the domestic market share. The Company's oil is priced with reference to Dated Brent.

Vermilion's main producing areas in France are located in the Aquitaine Basin which is southwest of Bordeaux, France and in the Paris Basin, located just east of Paris. The two major fields in the Paris Basin area are Champotran and Chaunoy and the two major fields in the Aquitaine Basin are Parentis and Cazaux. Vermilion operates several oil batteries in the country and, given the legacy nature of these assets, the throughput capability of these batteries exceeds any projected future requirements. Vermilion holds an average 96% working interest in 258,100 (248,900 net) acres of developed land and an average 91% working interest in 244,400 (222,100 net) acres of undeveloped land in the Aquitaine and Paris Basins. Vermilion had 340 (335 net) producing oil wells and two (2.0 net) producing gas wells in France as at December 31, 2019.

| Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 10 ■  2019 Annual Information Form |

| --- |

In 2019, Vermilion drilled four (4.0 net) wells in the Champotran field. In 2020, Vermilion intends to continue its ongoing program of workovers and well optimizations. By continuing to develop its inventory in France, while mitigating declines through workovers and optimizations, Vermilion seeks to maintain or moderately grow its French production over the long-term.

Netherlands Business Unit

Vermilion entered the Netherlands in 2004 and is the country's second largest onshore operator. Vermilion's natural gas production in the Netherlands is priced off of the TTF index.

Vermilion's Netherlands assets consist of 26 onshore concessions (all operated) and 17 offshore concessions (all non-operated). Production consists primarily of natural gas with a small amount of associated condensate. Vermilion’s total land position in the Netherlands covers 1,927,300 (930,000 net) acres at an average 49% working interest, of which 92% is undeveloped. Vermilion had 98 (47 net) producing natural gas wells as at December 31, 2019.

Vermilion successfully drilled and completed the Weststellingwerf well (0.5 net) in 2019, representing our first drilling activity in the Netherlands since 2017. We encountered three gas bearing zones in the Vlieland, Zechstein and Rotliegend formations. Vermilion expects that its inventory of potentially high-impact exploration and development opportunities in the Netherlands will continue to support the Company's production growth in the country.


Germany Business Unit

Vermilion entered Germany in 2014 through the acquisition of a 25% non-operated interest in natural gas producing assets. In December 2016, Vermilion completed an acquisition of oil and gas producing properties that provided Vermilion with its first operated position in the country. Vermilion holds a significant undeveloped land base in Germany as a result of an extensive farm-in agreement the Company entered into in 2015. Vermilion's natural gas production in Germany is priced off the NCG and GPL indexes, which are both highly correlated to the TTF benchmark, and Vermilion's oil production is priced with reference to Dated Brent.

Vermilion’s producing assets in Germany consist of operated and non-operated interests in seven natural gas fields and eight oil fields with extensive infrastructure in place. Vermilion had 133 (105 net) producing oil wells and 22 (8 net) producing natural gas wells as at December 31, 2019.

Vermilion's land position in northwest Germany is comprised of 88,600 (32,700 net) developed acres and 2,815,400 (1,151,200 net) undeveloped acres. The Company also holds a 0.4% equity interest in Erdgas Munster GmbH ("EGM"), a joint venture created in 1959 to jointly transport, process, and market gas in northwest Germany. This transportation interest allows for our proportionate share of produced volumes to be processed, blended, and transported to designated gas consumers through the EGM network of approximately 2,000 kilometres of pipeline. Furthermore, the Company holds a 50% equity interest in Hannoversche Erdölleitung GmbH ("HEG"), a joint venture company created in 1959 that collects and transports oil through a 185 km network of infrastructure from the Hannover region to rail loading facilities in Hannover.

During 2019, Vermilion successfully drilled, completed and tested the Burgmoor Z5 (46% working interest) well, which we expect to be tied-in in 2021. During 2020, the Company will continue investing in various well optimization initiatives and advance permitting, studies and other activities associated with the farm-in agreement signed in mid-2015.

Ireland Business Unit

Vermilion has a 20% operated interest in the offshore Corrib natural gas field located off the northwest coast of Ireland. Vermilion initially acquired an 18.5% non-operated interest in 2009. In 2018, Vermilion entered into a strategic partnership with the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB"), as a result of which Vermilion acquired an additional 1.5% working interest and assumed operatorship of Corrib.

Corrib first began natural gas flow in late December 2015. Production volumes reached full plant capacity of approximately 350 mmcf/d (gross) at the end of 2016. Production plateaued at this level until decline started at the beginning of 2018.

In 2020, Vermilion plans to continue to focus on facility maintenance and compression optimization.

| --- | | Australia Business Unit | | --- |


Vermilion holds a 100% operated working interest in the Wandoo offshore oil field and related production assets, located on Western Australia's northwest shelf. Vermilion acquired its interest over two acquisitions completed in 2005 and 2007. Production is sourced from 20 producing well-bores including five dual laterals that are tied into two platforms, Wandoo 'A' and Wandoo 'B'. Wandoo 'B' is permanently manned, houses the required production facilities and incorporates 400,000 bbls of oil storage within the platform's concrete gravity structure. The Wandoo 'B' facilities are capable of processing 208,000 bbl/d of total fluid to separate the oil from produced water. Vermilion's land position in the Wandoo field is comprised of 59,600 acres (gross and net).

Vermilion drilled two (2.0 net) wells in Australia between November 2018 and January 2019 and plans to drill wells approximately every two to three years. Vermilion intends to manage its Australian production and related capital investment programs to achieve corporate targets while meeting long-term supply requirements of our customers.


United States Business Unit

Vermilion entered the United States in 2014 through the acquisition of land and producing assets in the East Finn oil field in the Powder River Basin of northeastern Wyoming and expanded its position through the 2018 acquisition of mineral land and producing assets in the Hilight oil field located approximately 40 miles northwest of the East Finn assets. The Company's assets include 160,100 (144,600 net) acres of land in the Powder River basin, of which 69% is undeveloped. Vermilion had 192 (182 net) producing oil wells in the United States as at December 31, 2019. All of our working interest ownership in Wyoming is Company operated.

During 2019, Vermilion continued work on its early stage Turner Sand development in the Powder River Basin, drilling eight (8.0 net) wells on our Hilight asset, in addition to drilling two additional wells late in 2019, both of which were completed in early 2020. In 2020, Vermilion expects to drill twelve (11.9 net) wells on its Hilight assets.

Central and Eastern Europe ("CEE") Business Unit

Vermilion established its CEE Business unit in 2014 with a head office in Budapest, Hungary. The CEE business unit is responsible for business development in the CEE, including managing the exploration and development opportunities associated with the Company's land holdings in Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia and Ukraine.

Vermilion's land position in the CEE consists of 952,300 (951,900 net) acres in Hungary, 485,600 (242,800 net) acres in Slovakia and 2.2 million (2.2 million net) acres in Croatia. Currently, 99% of Vermilion's land position in the CEE is undeveloped.

During 2019, Vermilion drilled four (3.3 net) exploration wells in Hungary, the first of which was a dry hole. The remaining wells resulted in new gas discoveries and the Company brought two of the wells on production during the fourth quarter of 2019. In Croatia, Vermilion drilled its first two natural gas exploration wells (2.0 net) in the country which also resulted in new gas discoveries. During the third quarter of 2019, Vermilion was awarded two exploration licenses in Ukraine, subject to a final production sharing agreement, in a 50/50 partnership with Ukrgazvydobuvannya ("UGV"), a Ukrainian state owned gas producer. The licenses cover approximately 500,000 gross acres situated in one of Europe's most prolific natural gas regions (Dnieper-Donets Basin). In 2020, Vermilion plans to continue our exploratory drilling activity in CEE by drilling two (1.5 net) wells in Croatia, one (1.0 net) well in Hungary and three (1.5 net) wells in Slovakia.

General Development of the Business

Three Year History and<br> Outlook

The following describes the development of Vermilion's business over the last three completed financial years.

With the exception of the acquisition of Spartan Energy Corp. ("Spartan") in May 2018, none of the acquisitions described below constituted a “significant acquisition” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. A Business Acquisition Report (Form 51-102F4) relating to the acquisition of Spartan was filed on July 30, 2018. A copy of this report is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under Vermilion’s SEDAR profile.


2017


Vermilion achieved record annual production of 68,021 boe/d representing an increase of 7% as compared to 2016. Production growth in Canada, the US, Ireland and Germany more than offset lower production in France, Netherlands and Australia. Permitting delays significantly reduced Netherlands production volumes in 2017, while an unplanned 31-day downtime period at Corrib late in Q3 2017 reduced annual production by approximately 900 boe/d.

Vermilion maintained its monthly dividend at $0.215 per share throughout 2017. Vermilion discontinued the Premium Dividend^TM^ Component of its dividend reinvestment plan beginning with the July 2017 dividend payment.

In March 2017, Vermilion issued US$300 million aggregate principal amount of eight-year senior unsecured notes bearing interest at a rate of 5.625% per annum. This issuance was completed by way of a private offering and represented Vermilion's first issuance in the US debt markets.

In April 2017, Vermilion extended the term of its credit facility with its banking syndicate to May 2021. Following a review of the Company's projected liquidity requirements and the receipt of proceeds from the US debt issuance, the total facility amount was reduced to $1.4 billion from $2.0 billion.

In July 2017, Vermilion and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB") announced a strategic partnership in the Corrib Natural Gas Project in Ireland (Corrib), whereby CPPIB will acquire Shell E&P Ireland Limited’s 45% interest in Corrib. As part of the transaction, Vermilion assumed operatorship of Corrib and received an additional 1.5% working interest in Corrib. The acquisition had an effective date of January 1, 2017 and closed in late 2018.

In December 2017, Vermilion was awarded a license for the Békéssámson concession in Hungary for a 4-year term. Located adjacent to the existing South Battonya concession in southeast Hungary, the Békéssámson concession covers 330,700 net acres (100% working interest) and more than doubled the size of the Company's total land position in the country.

Vermilion continued to be recognized for its commitment to being a leader on environmental, social and governance matters in 2017. The Company received a top quartile ranking for its industry sector in RobecoSAM’s annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment (“CSA”). The CSA analyzes sustainability performance across economic, environmental, governance and social criteria, and is the basis of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices. The RobecoSAM assessment follows earlier recognition of Vermilion’s sustainability performance, including placement on the CDP Climate “A” List as a global leader in environmental stewardship, and receipt of the French government’s Circular Economy Award for Industrial and Regional Ecology for Vermilion's geothermal energy partnership in Parentis. Vermilion was also ranked 13th by Corporate Knights on the Future 40 Responsible Corporate Leaders in Canada list. This marked the fourth year in a row that Vermilion has been recognized by Corporate Knights as one of Canada's top sustainability performers. Vermilion’s MSCI ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) rating increased from BBB to A for 2017 and our Governance Metrics score ranked in the 90th percentile globally.

2018

Vermilion achieved record annual production of 87,270 boe/d representing an increase of 28% as compared to 2017. Production in Canada reached record levels as the Company completed the most significant acquisition in its history, acquiring Spartan in May 2018 for total consideration of $1.4 billion. Production also grew in the US due to an acquisition completed in August 2018 near Vermilion's existing assets in the Powder River Basin.

Vermilion increased its monthly dividend to $0.23 per share from $0.215 per share beginning with the April 2018 dividend. Upon closing the acquisition of Spartan, the 2% discount associated with our Dividend Reinvestment Plan was eliminated, beginning with the June 2018 dividend.

In February 2018, Vermilion closed an acquisition of a private southeast Saskatchewan producer. The acquisition added over 1,000 bbl/d of high netback 40° API oil and 42,600 net acres of land straddling the Saskatchewan and Manitoba border, near Vermilion's existing operations in southeast

| --- |

Saskatchewan. Total consideration of $91 million, which includes both cash paid to the shareholders of the acquired company and the assumption of long-term debt, was funded through the Company's revolving credit facility.

In May 2018, Vermilion acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Spartan, a publicly traded southeast Saskatchewan oil producer. The acquisition added approximately 23,000 boe/d of high-netback, light oil production and approximately 480,000 net acres of land (80% average working interest), including 400,000 net acres in southeast Saskatchewan with multi-zone potential. In addition, the Spartan acquisition included approximately 80,000 net acres of land in other areas of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba. The Acquisition also includes ownership and control of producing infrastructure synergistic with Vermilion’s existing assets, as well as significant 2D and 3D seismic data. Total consideration for the acquisition was $1.4 billion consisting of the issuance of 27.9 million Vermilion common shares valued at approximately $1.2 billion (based on the closing price per Vermilion common share of $44.30 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on May 28, 2018) and the assumption of approximately $175 million of Spartan's outstanding debt at the time the transaction closed.

In August 2018, Vermilion acquired mineral land and producing assets in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming for total cash consideration of approximately $189 million. The acquisition is comprised of low base decline, light oil-weighted production and high-quality mineral leasehold in the Powder River Basin in Campbell County, Wyoming, approximately 40 miles (65 kilometres) northwest of Vermilion's existing operations. The Assets include approximately 55,700 net acres of land (approximately 96% working interest) and approximately 2,500 boe/d (63% oil and NGLs) of production with an estimated annual base decline rate of 13%. Approximately half of the current production comes from three federal secondary recovery units in the Muddy formation, with the remainder coming from higher netback production from Turner Sand horizontal producers.

In December 2018, Vermilion closed the acquisition of an additional 1.5% working interest in the Corrib natural gas project bringing the Company's ownership interest in the project to 20%. Vermilion also assumed operatorship of Corrib resulting in a significant increase in the degree of operating control across the Company's portfolio.

Vermilion received a top quartile ranking for its industry sector in RobecoSAM’s annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment. The CSA analyzes sustainability performance across economic, environmental, governance and social criteria, and is the basis of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices. Vermilion was ranked 11th by Corporate Knights on the Future 40 Responsible Corporate Leaders in Canada list. This marks the fifth year in a row that Vermilion has been recognized by Corporate Knights as one of Canada's top sustainability performers and we continue to be the highest ranked oil and gas company on the list. Vermilion’s MSCI ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) received an A rating for the second consecutive year and the Company's Governance Metrics score ranked in the top decile globally. Vermilion scored 82 out of 100 on the annual ratings conducted by Sustainalytics, ranking at the top of its peer group. Sustainalytics rates the sustainability of participating companies based on their environmental, social and governance performance.

Further demonstrating Vermilion's commitment to being a leader in environmental, social and governance practices, the Board of Directors has established a Sustainability Committee to provide oversight with respect to sustainability policy and performance. Members of the committee are Tim Marchant (Chair), Carin Knickel, Steve Larke and Bill Roby, each an independent director.

2019

Vermilion achieved record annual production of 100,357 boe/d representing an increase of 15% compared to 2018. Production in Canada reached record levels as the Company benefitted from a full-year contribution from the Spartan assets acquired in May 2018, achieving average annual production of nearly 60,000 boe/d in 2019. Production also achieved record annual average levels in the Netherlands and in the United States.

Vermilion maintained its monthly dividend at $0.23 per share throughout 2019. In July 2019, Vermilion received approval from the TSX for a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), allowing the Company to buy back up to 7.75 million shares. Vermilion intends to use the NCIB, in combination with debt reduction, when excess free cash flow is available (beyond dividends) to enhance per share growth. In October 2019, the Company announced its intention to phase out the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") in 2020 by prorating the available DRIP shares by 25% each quarter starting in Q1 2020. This proration is planned to increase each quarter throughout the year, such that the DRIP will be eliminated at the end of Q3 2020.

In June 2019, Vermilion entered into a series of cross currency interest rate swaps with a syndicate of banks. The cross currency interest rate swaps mature March 15, 2025 and include regular cash receipts and payments on March 15 and September 15 of each year. On a net basis, the cross currency interest swaps result in Vermilion receiving US dollar interest and principal amounts equal to the interest and principal payments under the US$300.0 million of senior unsecured notes. In exchange, Vermilion will make interest and principal payments equal to €265.0 million at a rate of 3.275%.

During the third quarter of 2019, Vermilion was awarded two exploration licenses in Ukraine, subject to a final production sharing agreement, in a 50/50 partnership with Ukrgazvydobuvannya ("UGV"), a Ukrainian state-owned gas producer. The licenses cover approximately 500,000 gross acres situated in one of Europe's most prolific natural gas regions (Dnieper-Donets Basin).

Vermilion's ISS Governance QualityScore increased from 3 to 1 (where a decile score of 1 indicates lowest governance risk), while its Environment and Social QualityScores remained at 1 and 2 respectively in 2019. Vermilion was rated "AA" in MSCI's annual environmental, social and governance ("ESG") rankings for 2019, placing the Company in the top 19% of oil and gas companies worldwide. This rating is an improvement from "A" in the previous two years. Vermilion received top quartile rankings for 2019 for its industry sector in both the Sustainalytics ESG Rating and SAM (formerly known as RobecoSAM) annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment ("CSA"). These rankings are a reflection of Vermilion's continued commitment to ESG matters across the business, positioning Vermilion as one of the most responsible producers of energy in the industry.

Outlook

Vermilion's business model continues to allow for flexibility in response to volatile commodity prices and regulatory changes. The Company intends to maintain a low level of financial leverage and continue to fund dividends and exploration and development ("E&D") capital investment from internally generated fund flows from operations. Consistent with these objectives, in October 2019 Vermilion announced an E&D capital budget for 2020 of $450 million with corresponding production guidance of between 100,000 to 103,000 boe/d. This budget is designed to deliver modest production growth of approximately 1% and also provides for strategic capital expenditures associated with early-stage exploration and development activities. These activities are designed to lay the groundwork for future development and production from a highly economic asset base.

Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information

Reserves<br> and future net revenue

The following is a summary of the oil and natural gas reserves and the value of future net revenue of Vermilion as evaluated by GLJ in a report dated February 10, 2020 with an effective date of December 31, 2019. Pricing used in the forecast price evaluations is set forth in the notes to the tables.

Reserves and other oil and gas information contained in this section is effective December 31, 2019 unless otherwise stated.

All evaluations of future net revenue set forth in the tables below are stated after overriding and lessor royalties, Crown royalties, freehold royalties, mineral taxes, direct lifting costs, normal allocated overhead and future capital investments, including abandonment and reclamation obligations.  Future net revenues estimated by the GLJ Report do not represent the fair market value ofthe reserves. Other assumptions relating to the costs, prices for future production and other matters are included in the GLJReport. There is no assurance that the future price and cost assumptions used in the GLJ Report will prove accurate and variancescould be material.

Reserves are established using deterministic methodology. Total proved reserves are established at the 90 percent probability (P90) level. There is a 90 percent probability that the actual reserves recovered will be equal to or greater than the P90 reserves. Total proved plus probable reserves are established at the 50 percent probability (P50) level. There is a 50 percent probability that the actual reserves recovered will be equal to or greater than the P50 reserves.

The Report on Reserves Data by Independent Qualified Reserves Evaluator in Form 51-101F2 and the Report of Management and Directors on Oil and Gas Disclosure in Form 51-101F3 are contained in Schedules "B" and "C", respectively.

^(1)^ The<br> pricing assumptions used in the GLJ Report with respect to net present value of future<br> net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital<br> costs are set forth in “Forecast Prices used in Estimates”. GLJ is an independent<br> qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101.
^(2)^ "Gross<br> Reserves" are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share before<br> deduction of royalty obligations and without including any royalty interests of Vermilion.<br> "Net Reserves" are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating)<br> share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus Vermilion's royalty interests in reserves.
^(3)^ "Proved"<br> reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to<br> be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed<br> the estimated proved reserves.
^(4)^ "Probable"<br> reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved<br> reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be<br> greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.
^(5)^ "Developed"<br> reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and<br> installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a<br> low expenditure (e.g. when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves<br> on production.
^(6)^ "Developed<br> Producing" reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion<br> intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing<br> or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption<br> of production must be known with reasonable certainty.
^(7)^ "Developed<br> Non-Producing" reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production,<br> or have previously been on production, but are shut in, and the date of resumption of<br> production is unknown.
^(8)^ "Undeveloped"<br> reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a<br> significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is<br> required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements<br> of the reserves classification (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned.

Notes:

^(1)^ "Proved"<br> reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to<br> be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed<br> the estimated proved reserves.
^(2)^ "Probable"<br> reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved<br> reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be<br> greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.
--- ---
^(3)^ The<br> pricing assumptions used in the GLJ Report with respect to net present value of future<br> net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital<br> costs are set forth in “Forecast Prices used in Estimates”. GLJ is an independent<br> qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101.
--- ---

| --- | | Undeveloped reserves | | --- |

Proved undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. These reserves have a 90% probability of being recovered. Vermilion's current plan is to develop these reserves in the following three years. The pace of development of these reserves is influenced by many factors, including but not limited to, the outcomes of yearly drilling and reservoir evaluations, changes in commodity pricing, changes in capital allocations, changing technical conditions, regulatory changes and impact of future acquisitions and dispositions. As new information becomes available these reserves are reviewed and development plans are revised accordingly.

Probable undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. These reserves have a 50% probability of being recovered. Vermilion's current plan is to develop these reserves over the next five years. In general, development of these reserves requires additional evaluation data to increase the probability of success to a level that favourably ranks the project against other projects in Vermilion's inventory. This increases the timeline for the development of these reserves. This timetable may be altered depending on outside market forces, changes in capital allocations and impact of future acquisitions and dispositions.

^^

The table below sets out the future development costs deducted in the estimation of future net revenue attributable to total proved reserves and total proved plus probable reserves (using forecast prices and costs).

Vermilion expects to source its capital expenditure requirements from internally generated cash flow and, as appropriate, from Vermilion’s existing credit facility or equity or debt financing. It is anticipated that costs of funding the future development costs will not impact development of its properties or Vermilion’s reserves or future net revenue.

^(1)^ "Gross"<br> refers to the total acres in which Vermilion has an interest, directly or indirectly.
^(2)^ "Net"<br> refers to the total acres in which Vermilion has an interest, directly or indirectly,<br> multiplied by the percentage working interest owned by Vermilion, directly or indirectly<br> therein.

Vermilion expects its rights to explore, develop, and exploit approximately 111,968 (108,948 net) acres in Canada, 893,711 (893,711 net) acres in Croatia, 321,895 (321,895 net) acres in Hungary, 65,975 (65,975 net) acres in France, and 1,326 (1,326 net) acres in the United States to expire within one year, unless the Company initiates the capital activity necessary to retain the rights. Work commitments on these lands are categorized as seismic acquisition, geophysical studies, or well commitments.  No such rights are expected to expire within one year for Australia, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Slovakia. Vermilion currently has no material work commitments in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Vermilion's work commitments with respect to its European lands held are estimated to be $30.6 million in the next year.

During the third quarter of 2019, Vermilion was awarded two exploration licenses in Ukraine, subject to a final production sharing agreement, in a 50/50 partnership with Ukrgazvydobuvannya ("UGV"), a Ukrainian state owned gas producer. The licenses, excluded from the table above, cover approximately 500,000 gross acres situated in one of Europe's most prolific natural gas regions (Dnieper-Donets Basin).

Vermilion’s properties with no attributed reserves do not have any significant abandonment and reclamation costs.  All properties with no attributed reserves do not have high expected development or operating costs or contractual sales obligations to produce and sell at substantially lower prices than could be realized.

The nature of Vermilion’s operations results in exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. Vermilion monitors and, when appropriate, uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to these fluctuations. All transactions of this nature entered into by Vermilion are related to an underlying financial position or to future crude oil and natural gas production. Vermilion does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Vermilion has not obtained collateral or other security to support its financial derivatives as management reviews the creditworthiness of its counterparties prior to entering into derivative contracts.

During the normal course of business, Vermilion may also enter into fixed price arrangements to sell a portion of its production or purchase commodities for operational use.

Vermilion’s outstanding risk management positions as at December 31, 2019 are summarized in Supplemental Table 2: Hedges, included in the Company’s 2019 Management’s Discussion and Analysis, dated March 5, 2020, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, under Vermilion’s SEDAR profile.

Description of Capital Structure


Credit ratings

Credit ratings affect the Company's ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and the cost of such financing.  Additionally, the ability of the Company to engage in certain collateralized business activities on a cost effective basis depends on the Company's credit ratings.  A reduction in the credit rating of the Company or the Company's debt or a negative change in the Company's ratings outlook could adversely affect the Company's cost of financing and its access to sources of liquidity and capital.  In addition, changes in credit ratings may affect the Company's ability to enter into ordinary course hedging arrangements or contracts with customers and suppliers.

Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of the credit quality of an issuer of securities. Thecredit ratings accorded to the Senior Unsecured Notes and the Company are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell such securitiesand are not a comment upon the market price of the Company's securities or their suitability for a particular investor. There is no assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. A revision or withdrawal of a credit rating could have a material adverse effect on the pricing or liquidity of the Senior Unsecured Notes or the common shares in any secondary markets. Vermilion does not undertake any obligation to maintain the ratings or to advise holders of the Senior Unsecured Notes or the common shares of any change in ratings. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.

As at March 5, 2020, Vermilion had the following credit ratings from Standard & Poors Ratings Services ("S&P"), Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's”), and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”):

Rating Agency Company Rating Outlook Senior Unsecured Notes
S&P<br> ^(1)^ BB-<br> ^(1)^ Stable BB-<br> ^(4)^
Moody's<br> ^(2)^ Ba3<br> ^(2)^ Stable B2<br> ^(5)^
Fitch<br> ^(3)^ BB-<br> ^(3)^ Stable BB-<br> ^(6)^

Notes:

^(1)^ S&P<br> rates long-term corporate credit ratings by rating categories ranging from a high of<br> "AAA" to a low of "D". Ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by<br> the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major<br> rating categories.  In addition, S&P may add a rating outlook of “positive”,<br> “negative” or “stable” which assesses the potential direction<br> of a long-term credit rating over the intermediate term (typically six months to two<br> years). An obligor rated “BB-” is characterized by S&P as less vulnerable<br> in the near term than other lower-rated obligors.  However, it faces major ongoing<br> uncertainties and exposure to adverse business, financial or economic conditions, which<br> could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.
^(2)^ Moody's<br> corporate family ratings are on a rating scale that ranges from Aaa to C, which represents<br> the highest to lowest opinions of creditworthiness. Moody’s appends numerical modifiers<br> 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa, 3 indicating a<br> ranking in the lower end of the generic rating category. A rating of Ba3 by Moody’s<br> is within the fifth highest of nine categories. An obliger rated Ba3 is considered non-investment<br> grade speculative and is subject to substantial credit risk.
^(3)^ Fitch’s<br> corporate credit rating categories range from “investment grade“ for those<br> with ratings of “AAA” to “BBB”, and “speculative grade”<br> for those with “BB” to “D” ratings. Modifiers may be used by<br> Fitch within these rating categories, either (+) or (-), appended to a rating to indicate<br> relative status within the major rating categories. Rating outlooks may be provided to<br> direct where a rating may potentially move within the next year or two, and fall under<br> four outlooks: “positive”, “stable”, “negative”,<br> or “evolving”. A “BB-” rating for an obliger denotes an increased<br> vulnerability to default risk, especially if experiencing adverse changes in economic<br> or business conditions over time; conversely, there remains a financial or business flexibility<br> that sustains the servicing of financial obligations.
^(4)^ S&P<br> rates long-term debt instruments by rating categories ranging from a high of "AAA"<br> to a low of "D". The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition<br> of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories. <br> An obligation rated "BB-" is characterized as less vulnerable to nonpayment<br> than other speculative issues.  However, an obligation rated "BB-" faces<br> major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions,<br> which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment<br> on the obligation.  The "BB" category is the fifth highest of the ten<br> available categories.
^(5)^ Moody’s<br> long-term obligations ratings are on a rating scale that ranges from Aaa to C, which<br> represents the highest to lowest opinions of creditworthiness. Moody’s appends<br> numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through<br> Caa, with 2 indicating a mid-range ranking within the generic rating category. A rating<br> of B2 by Moody’s is within the sixth highest of nine categories. Obligations rated<br> B2 are considered non-investment grade speculative and are subject to substantial credit<br> risk.
^(6)^ Fitch’s<br> long-term debt instrument ratings are categorized from “investment grade“<br> for those with ratings of “AAA” to “BBB”, and “speculative<br> grade” for those with “BB” to “D” ratings. Modifiers may<br> be used by Fitch within these rating categories, either (+) or (-), appended to a rating<br> to indicate relative status within the major rating categories. A “BB-” rating<br> for an obliger denotes an increased vulnerability to default risk, especially if experiencing<br> adverse changes in economic or business conditions over time; conversely, there remains<br> a financial or business flexibility that sustains the servicing of financial obligations.

| --- | | Common shares | | --- |

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. Each common share entitles the holder to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of Shareholders and to one vote at any such meeting. The holders of common shares are, at the discretion of the board and subject to applicable legal restrictions, entitled to receive any dividends declared by the board on the common shares. The holders of common shares will be entitled to share equally in any distribution of the assets of the Company upon the liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or winding-up of the Company or other distribution of its assets among the Shareholders for the purpose of winding-up the Company’s affairs.

Awards pursuant to which a holder may receive Common Shares have been issued under certain Vermilion compensation arrangements. See Vermilion's annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 (a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under Vermilion’s SEDAR profile) for further details regarding the amount and value of such awards.

Dividend history

The Company currently pays dividends on a monthly basis. Solvency tests imposed by the ABCA on corporations for the declaration and payment of dividends must be satisfied prior to the declaration of a dividend. In addition, decisions with respect to the declaration of dividends on the common shares will be made by the Board of Directors on the basis of the Company's net earnings, financial requirements, and other conditions. Dividends are generally paid on the 15th day of the month following the month of declaration.

The following table sets forth the history of Vermilion's monthly dividend per share (pre-September 2010 distribution per unit):

Date Monthly dividend per unit or share
January 2003 to December 2007 $ 0.170
January 2008 to December 2012 $ 0.190
January 2013 to December 2013 $ 0.200
January 2014 to March 2018 $ 0.215
April<br> 2018 to February 2020 $ 0.230
March 2020 onwards $ 0.115

The following table outlines dividends declared per share for each of the three most recently completed financial years:

Date Dividends per common share
January 2017 to December 2017 $ 2.58
January 2018 to December 2018 $ 2.72
January 2019 to December 2019 $ 2.76
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
---

Under the Premium Dividend™ and Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), Eligible Shareholders who elect to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Component can reinvest their dividends in common shares at the Average Market Price (with no broker commissions or trading costs).

From February 2015 to July 2017, Vermilion used the Premium Dividend™ Component of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan to provide access to low cost source of equity capital. Vermilion discontinued the Premium Dividend^TM^ Component in July 2017.

Vermilion elected to phase out the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"), prorating the available DRIP shares by 25% each quarter starting in Q1 2020. The intention is to increase this proration each quarter throughout next year, such that the DRIP will be eliminated at the end of Q3 2020.

Participation in the Plan, which is explained in greater detail in the complete Plan document available on Vermilion’s corporate website at www.vermilionenergy.com (under the heading “Investor Relations” subheading “DRIP”), is subject to eligibility restrictions, applicable withholding taxes, prorating as provided for in the Plan, and other limitations on the availability of common shares to be issued or purchased in certain events. Participation in the Plan is available to Canadian residents and non-U.S. resident foreign Shareholders who meet certain eligibility criteria as set forth in the complete Plan. U.S. resident Shareholders are not currently permitted to participate in the Plan due to the requirement, under U.S. securities regulations, to maintain a continuous shelf registration for issuance of new equity to U.S. Shareholders. At this time, Vermilion has not put in place the required shelf registration due to the high cost of establishing and maintaining such a shelf registration.

Risk Factors

The following is a summary of certain risk factors relating to the business of the Company. The following information is a summary only of certain risk factors and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and must be read in conjunction with, the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this AIF. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Vermilion that it currently views as immaterial may also materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Shareholders and potential Shareholders should carefully consider the information contained herein and, in particular, the following risk factors.

Market risks

Volatilityof oil and gas prices

The Company's reserves, financial performance, financial position, and cash flows are dependent on the prices received for oil and natural gas production. Oil and natural gas prices have fluctuated materially during recent years and are determined by supply and demand factors. Supply factors can include availability (or lack thereof) of transportation capacity and production curtailments by independent producers or by OPEC members. Demand factors can be impacted by general economic conditions, supply chain requirements, environmental and other factors. Environmental and other factors include changes in weather, weather patterns, fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to oil and gas, and technology advances in fuel economy and energy generation devices. Shifts in supply and demand for certain commodities, products, and services may occur as climate-related risks are increasingly taken into account.

Volatilityof foreign exchange rates

The Company's reserves, financial performance, financial position, and cash flows are affected by prevailing foreign exchange rates. An increase in the exchange rate for the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar and Euro would reduce the Canadian equivalent cash receipts for Vermilion's production. Conversely, a decrease in the exchange rate for the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar and Euro would increase the Canadian equivalent cash outflows for Vermilion's operating and capital expenditures.

Volatilityof market price of Common Shares

The market price of Vermilion's Common Shares may be volatile and this volatility may affect the ability of Shareholders to sell Common Shares at an advantageous price. Market price fluctuations in the common shares may be due to: the Company’s operating results or financial performance failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in any quarter; downward revision in securities analysts’ estimates; governmental regulatory action; adverse change in general market conditions or economic trends; acquisitions, dispositions or other material public announcements by the Corporation or its competitors, along with a variety of additional factors, including, without limitation, those set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements” in this AIF. In addition, the market price for securities in stock markets including Common Shares may experience significant price and trading fluctuations. These fluctuations may result in volatility in the market prices of securities that may be unrelated or disproportionate to changes in the Company's operating and financial performance.

Hedgingarrangements

Vermilion may enter into agreements to fix commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates to offset the risks affecting the business. To the extent that Vermilion engages in price risk management activities to protect the Company from unfavourable fluctuations in prices and rates, the Company may also be prevented from realizing the full benefits of favourable fluctuations in prices and rates.

To the extent that risk management activities and hedging strategies are employed to address these risks, the Company would also be exposed to risks associated with such activities and strategies, including: counterparty risk, settlement risk, basis risk, liquidity risk and market risk. These risks could impact or negate any benefits of risk management activities and hedging strategies.

| --- |

In addition, commodity hedging arrangements could expose the Company to the risk of financial loss if: production falls short of the hedged volumes; there is a widening of price-basis differentials between delivery points for production and the delivery point assumed in the hedge arrangements; or a sudden unexpected event materially impacts oil and natural gas prices.

Operational risks

Increasein operating costs or a decline in production level

The Company's financial performance, financial position, and cash flows are affected by the Company's operating costs and production levels. Operating costs may increase and production levels may decline at rates greater than anticipated due to unforeseen circumstances, many of which are beyond Vermilion's control.

Production levels may decline due to an inability for Vermilion to market oil and natural gas production. This could result from the availability, proximity and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities that Vermilion depends on in the jurisdictions in which it operates.

Operating costs could increase as a result of blowouts, environmental damage, unforeseen circumstances related to climate-change, and other unexpected and dangerous conditions which could result from a number of operating and natural hazards associated with Vermilion's operations. In addition to higher costs, Vermilion may have a potential liability to regulators and third parties as a result. Vermilion maintains liability insurance, where available, in amounts consistent with industry standards. Business interruption insurance may also be purchased for selected operations, to the extent that such insurance is commercially viable. Vermilion may become liable for damages arising from such events against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of high premium costs or other reasons.

Operatorperformance and payment delays

Continuing production from a property are dependent upon the ability of the operator of the property, and the operator may fail to perform these functions properly. Payments from production generally flow through the operator and there is a risk of delay and additional expense in receiving such revenues if the operator becomes insolvent. Although satisfactory title reviews are generally conducted in accordance with industry standards, such reviews do not guarantee or certify that a defect in the chain of title may not arise to defeat the claim of Vermilion or its subsidiaries to certain properties.

In addition to the usual delays in payment by purchasers of oil and natural gas to the operators of the properties, and by the operator to Vermilion, payments between any of such parties may also be delayed by restrictions imposed by lenders, delays in the sale or delivery of products, delays in the connection of wells to a gathering system, blowouts or other accidents, recovery by the operator of expenses incurred in the operation of the properties or the establishment by the operator of reserves for such expenses.

Weatherconditions

Vermilion's operations may be impacted by changing weather conditions, which may include: changes in temperature extremes, changes in precipitation patterns (including drought and flooding), rising sea levels, and increased severity of extreme weather events such as cyclones or floods. These events can impact Vermilion's operations, causing shutdowns and increased costs. In the Netherlands, rising water levels could impact facilities below sea level and in Australia a severe cyclonic event could cause damage to the Company's Wandoo platform.

Costof new technology

The oil and natural gas industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological advancements and introductions of new products and services utilizing new technologies. Other oil and natural gas companies may have greater financial, technical and personnel resources that provide them with technological advantages and may in the future allow them to implement new technologies before Vermilion does. There can be no assurance that Vermilion will be able to respond to such competitive pressures and implement such technologies on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. One or more of the technologies currently utilized by the Company or implemented in the future may become obsolete.

| --- | | Regulatory and political risks | | --- |

Tax,royalty, and other government legislation

Income tax laws, royalty and other government legislation relating to the oil and gas industry in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates may change in a manner that adversely affects Vermilion.

Governmentregulations

Vermilion's operations are governed by many levels of governments in which jurisdiction the Company operates. Vermilion is subject to laws and regulations regarding environment, health and safety issues, lease interests, taxes and royalties, among others. Failure to comply with the applicable laws can result in significant increases in costs, penalties and even losses of operating licenses. The regulatory process involved in each of the countries in which Vermilion operates is not uniform and regulatory regimes vary as to complexity, timeliness of access to, and response from, regulatory bodies and other matters specific to each jurisdiction. If regulatory approvals or permits are delayed, not obtained, or revoked, there can also be delays or abandonment of projects, decreases in production and increases in costs, and Vermilion may not be able to fully execute its strategy. Governments may also amend or create new legislation and regulatory bodies may also amend regulations or impose additional requirements which could result in reduced production and increased capital, operating and compliance costs.

Policyand legal risks

Policy actions that attempt to constrain actions that contribute to the adverse effects of climate change or policy actions that seek to promote adaptation to climate change continue to evolve. Policy changes could include implementing carbon-pricing mechanisms to reduce GHG emissions, shifting energy-efficient solutions, and promoting more sustainable land-use practices. The risks and financial impact of policy changes depend on the nature and timing of the policy change.

Vermilion may be exposed to increased litigation risk relating to climate change. The oil and gas industry has seen an increase in climate-related litigation claims being brought before the courts by property owners, municipalities, and public interest organizations. Some of these claims include the failure of organizations to mitigate the impacts of climate change, failure to adapt to climate change, and the insufficiency of disclosure around material financial risks. As the value of loss and damage arising from climate change increases, litigation risk will also grow.

Politicalevents and terrorist attacks

Political events throughout the world that cause disruptions in the supply of oil affect the marketability and price of oil and natural gas acquired or discovered by Vermilion. Political developments arising in the countries in which Vermilion operates have a significant impact on the price of oil and natural gas.

Vermilion’s oil and natural gas properties, wells and facilities could be subject to a terrorist attack. If any of Vermilion’s properties, wells or facilities or any infrastructure on which the Company relies are the subject of a terrorist attack, such attack may have a material adverse effect on Vermilion’s financial performance, financial position, and cash flows.

Financing risks

Discretionarynature of dividends

The declaration and payment (including the amount thereof) of future cash dividends, if any, is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and may vary depending on a variety of factors and conditions, including the satisfaction of the liquidity and solvency tests under the ABCA for the declaration and payment of dividends and the amount of the Company's cash flows. The Company's cash flows may be impacted by risks affecting the Company's business including: fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange and interest rates; production and sales volume levels; production costs; capital expenditure requirements; royalty and tax burdens; external financing availability, and debt service requirements.

Depending on these and other factors considered relevant to the declaration and payment of dividends by the Board of Directors and management of the Company, the Company may change its dividend policy from time to time. Any reduction of dividends may adversely affect the market price or value of Common Shares.

| Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 62 ■  2019 Annual Information Form |

| --- |

Additionalfinancing

Vermilion’s credit facility and any replacement credit facility may not provide sufficient liquidity. The amounts available under Vermilion's credit facility may not be sufficient for future operations, or Vermilion may not be able to obtain additional financing on attractive economic terms, if at all.

To the extent that external sources of capital, including the issuance of additional Common Shares, become limited or unavailable, Vermilion's ability to make the necessary capital investments to maintain or expand its oil and natural gas reserves may be impaired. To the extent the Company is required to use cash flow to finance capital expenditures or property acquisitions, the level of cash available that may be declared payable as dividends will be reduced.

Debtservice

Vermilion may finance a significant portion of its operations through debt. Amounts paid in respect of interest and principal on debt incurred by Vermilion may impair Vermilion's ability to satisfy its other obligations. Variations in interest rates and scheduled principal repayments could result in significant changes in the amount required to be applied to debt service before payment by Vermilion of its debt obligations.

Lenders may be provided with security over substantially all of the assets of Vermilion and its Subsidiaries. If Vermilion becomes unable to pay its debt service charges or otherwise commits an event of default such as bankruptcy, a lender may be able to foreclose on or sell the assets of Vermilion and/or its Subsidiaries.

Variationsin interest rates and foreign exchange rates

An increase in interest rates could result in a significant increase in the amount the Company pays to service debt. A decrease in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar versus the Euro would result in higher interest and ultimate principle payment on the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes, which are denominated in US dollar but have been swapped to a Euro equivalent obligation.

Environmental risks

Environmentallegislation

The oil and natural gas industry is subject to environmental regulation pursuant to local, provincial, state and federal legislation. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines, the issuance of clean up orders in respect of Vermilion or its assets, or the loss or suspension of regulatory approvals. Such legislation may include carbon taxes, enhanced emissions reporting obligations, mandates on the equipment specifications, and emissions regulations. Such legislation may be changed to impose higher standards and potentially more costly obligations on Vermilion. In addition, such legislation may inhibit Vermilion's ability to operate the Company's assets and may make it more difficult for Vermilion to compete in the acquisition of new property rights. Presently, the Company does not believe the financial impact of these regulations on capital expenditures and earnings will be material. However, the Company actively monitors and assesses its exposure to this legislation.

Vermilion expects to incur abandonment and reclamation costs in the ordinary course of business as existing oil and gas properties are abandoned and reclaimed. These costs may materially differ from the Company's estimates due to changes in environmental regulations.

Vermilion's exploration and production facilities and other operations and activities emit some amount of greenhouse gases, which may be subject to legislation regulating emissions of greenhouse gases. This may result in a requirement to reduce emissions or emissions intensity from Vermilion's operations and facilities. It is possible that future regulations may require further reductions of emissions or emissions intensity.

Hydraulicfracturing regulations

Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of water, sand and small amounts of additives under pressure into rock formations to stimulate oil and natural gas production. Hydraulic fracturing is used to produce commercial quantities of oil and natural gas from reservoirs that were previously unproductive. Hydraulic fracturing has featured prominently in recent political, media and activist commentary on the subject of water usage and environmental damage. Any new laws, regulations or permitting requirements regarding hydraulic fracturing could lead to operational delays, increased operating costs, third party or governmental claims, and could increase Vermilion's costs of compliance and doing business as well as delay the development of oil and natural gas resources from shale formations, which are not commercial without the use of hydraulic fracturing. Restrictions on hydraulic fracturing could also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that the Company is ultimately able to produce from its reserves, as well as increase costs.

With activist groups expressing concern about the impact of hydraulic fracturing on the environment and water supplies, Vermilion's corporate reputation may be negatively affected by the negative public perception and public protests against hydraulic

| Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 63 ■  2019 Annual Information Form |

| --- |

fracturing. In addition, concerns regarding hydraulic fracturing may result in changes in regulations that delay the development of oil and natural gas resources and adversely affect Vermilion's costs of compliance and reputation. Changes in government may result in new or enhanced regulatory burdens in respect of hydraulic fracturing which could affect Vermilion's business.

Climatechange

In addition to other climate-related risks discussed elsewhere in this AIF, Vermilion faces transition risks and physical risks.

Transition risks are risks that relate to the transition to a lower-carbon economy. Transition risks impact the volatility of oil and gas prices (as consumer demand for oil and gas may decrease); environmental legislation and hydraulic fracturing regulations (which may delay or restrict the development of oil and gas); the ability to obtain additional financing (as sources of financing for oil and gas development may become more restricted); and the reliance on key personnel, management, and labour (as the workforce may transition to other sources of energy development). Practices and disclosures relating to environmental matters, including climate change, are attracting increasing scrutiny by stakeholders. Vermilion’s response to addressing environmental matters can impact the Company’s reputation and affect the Company's ability to hire and retain employees; to compete for reserve acquisitions, exploration leases, licenses and concessions; and to receive regulatory approvals required to execute operating programs.

Physical risks relate to the physical impact of climate change, which can be event driven (acute) or longer-term shifts (chronic) in climate patterns. Physical risks can have financial implications for the Company, such as direct damage to assets and indirect impacts from production disruptions. Physical risks may also increase Vermilion's operating costs.

Acquisition and expansion risks

Competition

Vermilion actively competes for reserve acquisitions, exploration leases, licences, concessions and skilled industry personnel with a substantial number of other oil and gas companies, some of which have significantly greater financial resources than Vermilion. Vermilion's competitors include major integrated oil and natural gas companies and numerous other independent oil and natural gas companies and individual producers and operators.

Vermilion's ability to successfully bid on and acquire additional property rights, to discover reserves, to participate in drilling opportunities and to identify and enter into commercial arrangements with customers will be dependent upon developing and maintaining close working relationships with its future industry partners and joint operators and its ability to select and evaluate suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

Internationaloperations and future geographical/industry expansion

The operations and expertise of Vermilion's management are currently focused primarily on oil and natural gas production, exploration and development in three geographical regions, North America, Europe and Australia. In the future Vermilion may acquire or move into new industry related activities, enter into new geographical areas, or acquire different energy related assets. These actions may result in unexpected risks or alternatively, significantly increase the Company's exposure to one or more existing risk factors.

Acquisitionassumptions


When making acquisitions, Vermilion estimates the future performance of the assets to be acquired. These estimates are subject to inherent risks associated with predicting the future performance of those assets. These estimates may not be realized over time. As such, assets acquired may not possess the value Vermilion attributed to them.

| Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 64 ■  2019 Annual Information Form |

| --- |

Failureto realize anticipated benefits of prior acquisitions

Vermilion may complete one or more acquisitions for various strategic reasons including to strengthen its position in the oil and natural gas industry and to create the opportunity to realize certain benefits. In order to achieve the benefits of any future acquisitions, Vermilion will be dependent upon its ability to successfully consolidate functions and integrate operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner and to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining the acquired assets and operations with those of the Company. The integration of acquired assets and operations requires the dedication of management effort, time and resources, which may divert management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters during the process. The integration process may result in the disruption of ongoing business and customer relationships that may adversely affect Vermilion's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of such prior acquisitions.

Reserves and resource estimates

Reserveestimates

Reserves and estimated future net revenue to be derived from reserves are estimates and have been independently evaluated by GLJ. The estimation of reserves is a complex process and requires significant judgment. Actual production and ultimate reserves will vary from those estimates and these variations may be material.

Assumptions incorporated into the estimation of reserves are based on information available when the estimate was prepared. These assumptions are subject to change and many are beyond the Company's control. These assumptions include: initial production rates; production decline rates; ultimate recovery of reserves; timing and amount of capital expenditures; marketability of production; future prices of crude oil and natural gas; operating costs; well abandonment costs; royalties, taxes, and other government levies that may be imposed over the producing life of the reserves.

In addition, estimates of reserves that may be developed and produced in the future are often based on methods other than actual production history, including: volumetric calculations, probabilistic methods, and upon analogy to similar types of reserves. Estimates based on these methods are generally less reliable than those based on actual production history. Subsequent evaluation of the same reserves based upon production history will result in variations, which may be material, in the estimated reserves. As such, reserve estimates may require revision based on actual production experience.

The present value of estimated future net revenue referred to in this annual information form should not be construed as the fair market value of estimated crude oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Company's properties. The estimated discounted future revenue from reserves are based upon price and cost estimates which may vary from actual prices and costs and such variance could be material. Actual future net revenue will also be affected by factors such as the amount and timing of actual production, supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas, curtailments or increases in consumption by purchasers and changes in governmental regulations and taxation.

Contingentand prospective resource estimates

Information regarding quantities of contingent and prospective resources included in Appendix A to this Annual Information Form are estimates only. References to “contingent resources” and "prospective resources" do not constitute, and should be distinguished from, references to “reserves”. The same uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves apply to estimating quantities of contingent resources. In addition, there are contingencies that prevent resources from being classified as reserves. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. Actual results may vary significantly from these estimates and such variances may be material.

Cybersecurity

Vermilion manages cyber security risk by ensuring appropriate technologies, processes and practices are effectively designed and implemented to help prevent, detect and respond to threats as they emerge and evolve. The primary risks to Vermilion include, loss of data, destruction or corruption of data, compromising of confidential customer or employee information, leaked information, disruption of business, theft or extortion of funds, regulatory infractions, loss of competitive advantage and damage to the Company's reputation. Vermilion relies upon a variety of advanced controls as protection from such attacks including:

a) Enterprise<br> class firewall infrastructure, secure network architecture and anti-malware defense systems<br> to protect against network intrusion, malware infection and data loss.
b) Regularly<br> conducted comprehensive third party reviews and vulnerability assessments to ensure that<br> information technology systems are up-to-date and properly configured, to reduce security<br> risks arising from outdated or misconfigured systems and software.
--- ---
c) Disaster<br> recovery planning, ongoing monitoring of network traffic patterns to identify potential<br> malicious activities or attacks.
--- ---

Incident response processes are in place to isolate and control potential attacks. Data backup and recovery processes are in place to minimize risk of data loss and resulting disruption of business. Through ongoing vigilance and regular employee awareness, Vermilion has not experienced a cyber security event of a material nature. As it is difficult to quantify the significance of such events, cyber attacks such as, security breaches of company, customer, employee, and vendor information, as well as hardware or software corruption, failure or error, telecommunications system failure, service provider error, intentional or unintentional personnel actions, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and the corruption of data, may in certain circumstances be material and could have an adverse effect on Vermilion’s business, financial condition and results of operations. As result of the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of disruptions from such attacks, Vermilion could potentially be subject to production downtimes, operational delays, the compromising of confidential or otherwise protected information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of its systems and networks or financial losses, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Vermilion’s competitive position, financial condition or results of operations.

Accountingadjustments

The presentation of financial information in accordance with IFRS requires that management apply certain accounting policies and make certain estimates and assumptions which affect reported amounts in Vermilion’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies may result in non-cash charges to net income and write-downs of net assets in the consolidated financial statements and such adjustments may be viewed unfavourably by the market and may result in an inability to borrow funds or a decline in price of Common Shares.

Ineffectiveinternal controls

Effective internal controls are necessary for Vermilion to provide reliable financial reports and to help prevent fraud. Although the Company has undertaken and will undertake a number of procedures in order to help ensure the reliability of its financial reports, including those that may be imposed on Vermilion under Canadian Securities Laws and applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws, Vermilion cannot be certain that such measures will ensure that the Company will maintain adequate control over financial processes and reporting. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm Vermilion's results of operations or cause the Company to fail to meet its reporting obligations. Additionally, implementing and monitoring effective internal controls can be costly. If Vermilion or its independent auditors discover a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market's confidence in Vermilion's consolidated financial statements and may result in a decline in the price of Common Shares.

Relianceon key personnel, management, and labour

Vermilion's success depends in large measure on certain key personnel. The loss of the services of such key personnel may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Vermilion does not have any key person insurance in effect. The contributions of Vermilion's existing management team to immediate and near term operations are likely to be of central importance. In addition, the labour force in certain areas in which the Company operates is limited and the competition for qualified personnel in the oil and natural gas industry is intense. Vermilion expects that similar projects or expansions will proceed in the same area during the same time frame as the Company's projects. Vermilion's projects require experienced employees, and such competition may result in increases in compensation paid to such personnel or in a lack of qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract and retain all personnel necessary for the development and operation of the business.

Potentialconflicts of interest

Circumstances may arise where members of the board of directors or officers of Vermilion are directors or officers of companies which compete with Vermilion. No assurances can be given that opportunities identified by such persons will be provided to Vermilion.

Brexit

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom ("UK") held a referendum where voters decided to leave the European Union ("Brexit").  Effective January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom is no longer a member of the European Union ("EU") and has entered an 11-month transition period. During the transition, the UK effectively remains in the EU's customs union and single market and continues to comply with EU rules.

At the date of this AIF, there remains uncertainty regarding the form of Brexit as a result of these pending negotiations for future trade agreements. Brexit may result in interruptions to Vermilion’s business and expose Vermilion to financial volatility, with risks including: disruption in the delivery of supplies to the Company’s operations in Ireland, administrative delays to day-to-day banking activities, and foreign exchange volatility.

Vermilion’s operations in Ireland are supported by contractors and suppliers, some of whom operate in the UK. Vermilion currently believes that the ability to mobilize contractor personnel from the UK to Ireland will not be impacted by Brexit. Vermilion has reviewed all of its UK based suppliers and has identified certain products that are presently sourced from the UK that may be impacted by Brexit related delays.

Vermilion recently awarded our production chemicals contract to an Irish-based supplier. The only remaining production critical supplier based in the UK is our odorant vendor. We have increased our odorant inventory prior to the January 31, 2020 Brexit deadline and have identified alternate EU based suppliers if required.

In the event of a supply disruption, Vermilion has developed contingency plans that include ensuring that the Company has maintained adequate inventory of supplies and has alternate sourcing plans from EU based suppliers.

Brexit has resulted in uncertainty and volatility for the Euro and British Pound Sterling ("GBP") as compared to each other and other currencies.  This volatility is expected to continue as negotiations continue.  Vermilion's natural gas produced in Ireland is priced based on the NBP index, which is denominated in GBP.  Thus, a weakening of the GBP against the Canadian dollar could result in Vermilion receiving fewer Canadian equivalent dollars for its production.  However, due to the interconnected nature of the UK and European natural gas markets, changes in the exchange ratio for the Euro and GBP are expected to result in offsetting changes to related commodity prices.

Additional Information

Additional information relating to the Company may be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under Vermilion’s SEDAR profile. Additional information related to the remuneration and indebtedness of the directors and officers of the Company, and the principal holders of common shares and Rights to purchase common shares and securities authorized for issuance under the Company's equity compensation plans, where applicable, are contained in the information circular of the Company in respect of its most recent annual meeting of Shareholders involving the election of directors. Additional financial information is provided in the Company's audited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Appendix A

Contingent resources

Summary information regarding contingent resources and net present value of future net revenues from contingent resources are set forth below and are derived, in each case, from the GLJ Resources Assessment. The GLJ Resources Assessment was prepared in accordance with COGEH and NI 51-101 by GLJ, an independent qualified reserve evaluator. All contingent resources evaluated in the GLJ Resources Assessment were deemed economic at the effective date of December 31, 2019. Contingent resources are in addition to reserves estimated in the GLJ Report.

A range of contingent resources estimates (low, best and high) were prepared by GLJ. See notes 6 to 8 of the tables below for a description of low estimate, best estimate and high estimate.


The GLJ Resources Assessment estimated gross risked contingent resources with a project maturity subclass of “Development Pending” of  139.0 million boe (low estimate) to 330.2 million boe (high estimate), with a best estimate of 236.8 million boe. Contingent resources are in addition to reserves estimated in the GLJ Report.

The GLJ Resources Assessment estimated gross risked contingent resources with a project maturity subclass of “Development Unclarified” of 10.8 million boe (low estimate) to 54.1 million boe (high estimate), with a best estimate of 37.6 million boe.


Anestimate of risked net present value of future net revenue of contingent resources is preliminary in nature and is provided toassist the reader in reaching an opinion on the merit and likelihood of the company proceeding with the required investment. Itincludes contingent resources that are considered too uncertain with respect to the chance of development to be classified asreserves. There is uncertainty that the risked net present value of future net revenue will be realized.

Notes:

^(1)^ Contingent<br> resources are defined in the COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of<br> a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established<br> technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to<br> be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. There is uncertainty that<br> it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources or<br> that Vermilion will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as contingent<br> resources. The estimates of contingent resources involve implied assessment, based on<br> certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described exists in the quantities<br> predicted or estimated, as at a given date, and that the resources can be profitably<br> produced in the future. The risked net present value of the future net revenue from the<br> contingent resources does not represent the fair market value of the contingent resources.<br> Actual contingent resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as reserves) and<br> future production therefrom may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.
^(2)^ GLJ<br> prepared the estimates of contingent resources shown for each property using deterministic<br> principles and methods. Probabilistic aggregation of the low and high property estimates<br> shown in the table might produce different total volumes than the arithmetic sums shown<br> in the table.
--- ---
^(3)^ The<br> forecast price and cost assumptions utilized in the year-end 2019 reserves report were<br> also utilized by GLJ in preparing the GLJ Resource Assessment. See ”Forecast Prices<br> Used in Estimates” in this AIF.
--- ---
^(4)^ "Gross”<br> contingent resources are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share<br> before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interests of Vermilion.<br> "Net” contingent resources are Vermilion's working interest (operating or<br> non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus Vermilion's royalty<br> interests in contingent resources.
--- ---
^(5)^ The<br> risked net present value of future net revenue attributable to the contingent resources<br> does not represent the fair market value of the contingent resources. Estimated abandonment<br> and reclamation costs have been included in the evaluation.
--- ---
^(6)^ This<br> is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered.<br> It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate.<br> If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability<br> (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.
--- ---
^(7)^ This<br> is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered.<br> It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or<br> less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least<br> a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed<br> the best estimate.
--- ---
^(8)^ This<br> is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered.<br> It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate.<br> If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability<br> (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.
--- ---
^(9)^ The<br> Chance of Development (CoDev) is the estimated probability that, once discovered, a known<br> accumulation will be commercially developed. Five factors have been considered in determining<br> the CoDev as follows:
--- ---
· CoDev<br> = Ps (Economic Factor) × Ps (Technology Factor) × Ps (Development Plan Factor)<br> ×Ps (Development Timeframe Factor) × Ps (Other Contingency Factor) wherein
--- ---
· Ps<br> is the probability of success
· Economic<br> Factor – For reserves to be assessed, a project must be economic. With respect<br> to contingent resources, this factor captures uncertainty in the assessment of economic<br> status principally due to uncertainty in cost estimates and marketing options. Economic<br> viability uncertainty due to technology is more aptly captured with the Technology Factor.<br> The Economic Factor will be 1 for reserves and will often be 1 for development pending<br> projects and for projects with a development study or pre-development study with a robust<br> rate of return. A robust rate of return means that the project retains economic status<br> with variation in costs and/or marketing plans over the expected range of outcomes for<br> these variables.
· Technology<br> Factor - For reserves to be assessed, a project must utilize established technology.<br> With respect to contingent resources, this factor captures the uncertainty in the viability<br> of the proposed technology for the subject reservoir, namely, the uncertainty associated<br> with technology under development. By definition, technology under development is a recovery<br> process or process improvement that has been determined to be technically viable via<br> field test and is being field tested further to determine its economic viability in the<br> subject reservoir. The Technology Factor will be 1 for reserves and for established technology.<br> For technology under development, this factor will consider different risks associated<br> with technologies being developed at the scale of the well versus the scale of a project<br> and technologies which are being modified or extended for the subject reservoir versus<br> new emerging technologies which have not previously been applied in any commercial application.<br> The risk assessment will also consider the quality and sufficiency of the test data available,<br> the ability to reliably scale such data and the ability to extrapolate results in time.
· Development<br> Plan Factor – For reserves to be assessed, a project must have a detailed development<br> plan. With respect to contingent resources, this factor captures the uncertainty in the<br> project evaluation scenario. The Development Plan Factor will be 1 for reserves and high,<br> approaching 1, for development pending projects. This factor will consider development<br> plan detail variations including the degree of delineation, reservoir specific development<br> and operating strategy detail (technology decision, well layouts (spacing and pad locations),<br> completion strategy, start-up strategy, water source and disposal, other infrastructure,<br> facility design, marketing plans) and the quality of the cost estimates as provided by<br> the developer.
· Development<br> Timeframe Factor – In the case of major projects, for reserves to be assessed,<br> first major capital spending must be initiated within 5 years of the effective date.<br> The Development Timeframe Factor will be 1 for reserves and will often be 1 for development<br> pending projects provided the project is planned on-stream based on the same criteria<br> used in the assessment of reserves. With respect to contingent resources, the factor<br> will approach 1 for projects planned on-stream with a timeframe slightly longer than<br> the limiting reserves criteria.
· Other<br> Contingency Factor – For reserves to be assessed, all contingencies must be eliminated.<br> With respect to contingent resources, this factor captures major contingencies, usually<br> beyond the control of the operator, other than those captured by economic status, technology<br> status, project evaluation scenario status and the development timeframe. The Other Contingency<br> Factor will be 1 for reserves and for development pending projects and less than 1 for<br> on hold. Provided all contingencies have been identified and their resolution is reasonably<br> certain, this factor would also be 1 for development unclarified projects.

Summary information regarding prospective resources and net present value of future net revenues from prospective resources are set forth below and are derived, in each case, from the GLJ Resources Assessment. The GLJ Resources Assessment was prepared in accordance with COGEH and NI 51-101 by GLJ, an independent qualified reserve evaluator. All prospective resources evaluated in the GLJ Resources Assessment were deemed economic at the effective date of December 31, 2019. Prospective resources are in addition to reserves estimated in the GLJ Report.

A range of prospective resources estimates (low, best and high) were prepared by GLJ. See notes 6 to 8 of the tables below for a description of low estimate, best estimate and high estimate.


The GLJ Resources Assessment estimated gross risked prospective resources of 51.9 million boe (low estimate) to 330.2 million boe (high estimate), with a best estimate of 179.2 million boe.

Anestimate of risked net present value of future net revenue of prospective resources is preliminary in nature and is provided toassist the reader in reaching an opinion on the merit and likelihood of the company proceeding with the required investment. Itincludes prospective resources that are considered too uncertain with respect to the chance of development and chance of discoveryto be classified as reserves. There is uncertainty that the risked net present value of future net revenue will be realized.

Notes:

^(1)^ Prospective<br> resources are defined in the COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of<br> a given date, to be potentially recoverable from unknown accumulations by application<br> of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance<br> of discovery (CoDis) and a chance of development (CoDev). There is no certainty that<br> any portion of the prospective resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is<br> no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the prospective<br> resources or that Vermilion will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified<br> as prospective resources. The estimates of prospective resources involve implied assessment,<br> based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described exists in the<br> quantities predicted or estimated, as at a given date, and that the resources can be<br> profitably produced in the future. The risked net present value of the future net revenue<br> from the prospective resources does not represent the fair market value of the prospective<br> resources. Actual prospective resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as<br> reserves) and future production therefrom may be greater than or less than the estimates<br> provided herein.
^(2)^ GLJ<br> prepared the estimates of prospective resources shown for each property using deterministic<br> principles and methods. Probabilistic aggregation of the low and high property estimates<br> shown in the table might produce different total volumes than the arithmetic sums shown<br> in the table.
^(3)^ The<br> forecast price and cost assumptions utilized in the year-end 2019 reserves report were<br> also utilized by GLJ in preparing the GLJ Resource Assessment. See ”GLJ December 31,<br> 2019 Forecast Prices” in this AIF.
^(4)^ "Gross”<br> prospective resources are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share<br> before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interests of Vermilion.<br> "Net” prospective resources are Vermilion's working interest (operating or<br> non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus Vermilion's royalty<br> interests in prospective resources.
^(5)^ The<br> risked net present value of future net revenue attributable to the prospective resources<br> does not represent the fair market value of the prospective resources. Estimated abandonment<br> and reclamation costs have been included in the evaluation.
^(6)^ This<br> is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered.<br> It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate.<br> If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability<br> (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.
^(7)^ This<br> is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered.<br> It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or<br> less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least<br> a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed<br> the best estimate.

| --- | | ^(8)^ | This<br> is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered.<br> It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate.<br> If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability<br> (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate. | | --- | --- | | ^(9)^ | The<br> chance of commerciality is defined as the product of the CoDis and the CoDev. CoDis is<br> defined in COGEH as the estimated probability that exploration activities will confirm<br> the existence of a significant accumulation of potentially recoverable petroleum. CoDev<br> is defined as the estimated probability that, once discovered, a known accumulation will<br> be commercially developed. |

CoDev is the estimated probability that, once discovered, a known accumulation will be commercially developed. Five factors have been considered in determining the CoDev as follows:

Ps<br> is the probability of success
Economic<br> Factor – For reserves to be assessed, a project must be economic. With respect<br> to prospective resources, this factor captures uncertainty in the assessment of economic<br> status principally due to uncertainty in cost estimates and marketing options. Economic<br> viability uncertainty due to technology is more aptly captured with the Technology Factor.<br> The Economic Factor will be 1 for reserves and will often be 1 for development pending<br> and for projects with a development study or pre-development study with a robust rate<br> of return. A robust rate of return means that the project retains economic status with<br> variation in costs and/or marketing plans over the expected range of outcomes for these<br> variables.
Technology<br> Factor - For reserves to be assessed, a project must utilize established technology.<br> With respect to prospective resources, this factor captures the uncertainty in the viability<br> of the proposed technology for the subject reservoir, namely, the uncertainty associated<br> with technology under development. By definition, technology under development is a recovery<br> process or process improvement that has been determined to be technically viable via<br> field test and is being field tested further to determine its economic viability in the<br> subject reservoir. The Technology Factor will be 1 for reserves and for established technology.<br> For technology under development, this factor will consider different risks associated<br> with technologies being developed at the scale of the well versus the scale of a project<br> and technologies which are being modified or extended for the subject reservoir versus<br> new emerging technologies which have not previously been applied in any commercial application.<br> The risk assessment will also consider the quality and sufficiency of the test data available,<br> the ability to reliably scale such data and the ability to extrapolate results in time.
Development<br> Plan Factor – For reserves to be assessed, a project must have a detailed development<br> plan. With respect to prospective resources, this factor captures the uncertainty in<br> the project evaluation scenario. The Development Plan Factor will be 1 for reserves and<br> high, approaching 1, for development pending projects. This factor will consider development<br> plan detail variations including the degree of delineation, reservoir specific development<br> and operating strategy detail (technology decision, well layouts (spacing and pad locations),<br> completion strategy, start-up strategy, water source and disposal, other infrastructure,<br> facility design, marketing plans etc.) and the quality of the cost estimates as provided<br> by the developer.
Development<br> Timeframe Factor – In the case of major projects, for reserves to be assessed,<br> first major capital spending must be initiated within 5 years of the effective date.<br> The Development Timeframe Factor will be 1 for reserves and will often be 1 for development<br> pending provided the project is planned on-stream based on the same criteria used in<br> the assessment of reserves. With respect to prospective resources, the factor will approach<br> 1 for projects planned on-stream with a timeframe slightly longer than the limiting reserves<br> criteria.
Other<br> Contingency Factor – For reserves to be assessed, all contingencies must be eliminated.<br> With respect to prospective resources, this factor captures major contingencies, usually<br> beyond the control of the operator, other than those captured by economic status, technology<br> status, project evaluation scenario status and the development timeframe. The Other Contingency<br> Factor will be 1 for reserves and for development pending and less than 1 for on hold.<br> Provided all contingencies have been identified and their resolution is reasonably certain,<br> this factor would also be 1 for development unclarified.
These<br> factors may be inter-related (dependent) and care has been taken to ensure that risks<br> are appropriately accounted.

CoDis is defined in COGEH as the estimated probability that exploration activities will confirm the existence of a significant accumulation of potentially recoverable petroleum. Five factors have been considered in determining the CoDis as follows:

CoDis<br> = Ps (Source) × Ps (Timing and Migration) × Ps (Trap) ×Ps (Seal) ×<br> Ps (Reservoir) wherein
Ps<br> is the probability of success
Source<br> – For a significant accumulation of potentially recoverable petroleum, a viable<br> source rock capable of generating hydrocarbons must exist. The probability of a source<br> rock investigates stratigraphic presence and location, volumetric adequacy and organic<br> richness of the proposed source rock. In proven hydrocarbon systems, this factor will<br> be a 1. This factor becomes critical when looking at frontier basins.
Timing<br> and Migration - For a significant accumulation of potentially recoverable petroleum,<br> the source rock must reach thermal maturity to generate the hydrocarbons and have a conduit<br> with which to fill the closures that existed at the time of migration. The probability<br> of timing and migration investigates the movement of hydrocarbons from the source rock<br> to the trap. This factor evaluates the pathways and/or carrier beds, including fault<br> systems, which can transport buoyant hydrocarbons from the source kitchen to the prospect<br> area at a time that the trap existed. This factor is often 1 in producing trends, but<br> there is a possibility of migration shadows where the conduits do not fill a viable trap,<br> which would decrease this factor.
Trap<br> - For a significant accumulation of potentially recoverable petroleum, a reservoir must<br> be present in a structural or stratigraphic closure. The trap factor looks at the definition<br> of the geometry of the accumulation, which is determined using seismic, gravity and/or<br> magnetic techniques and surrounding well logs to determine the probability of a significant<br> accumulation. The risking of this includes examining data quality (e.g. 2D vs 3D seismic<br> coverage) and potential depth conversion possibilities which give  confidence in<br> the mapped trap. Stratigraphic trap definition is used for volumetric calculations, but<br> it is given a 1 for this chance factor as the stratigraphic risk will be captured in<br> seal.
Seal<br> - For a significant accumulation of potentially recoverable petroleum, a reservoir must<br> be sealed both on the top and laterally by a lithology that contains the hydrocarbon<br> accumulation within the reservoir. It is also necessary that these accumulated hydrocarbons<br> have been preserved from flushing or leakage. Factors that affect top, seat and lateral<br> seals are fluid viscosity, bed thickness, natural continuity of sealing facies, differential<br> permeability, fault history and reservoir pressures needed to maintain a hydrocarbon<br> column. The probability that the accumulation is not able to be contained by the surrounding<br> rocks is captured in this chance factor.
| Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 77 ■  2019 Annual Information Form |

Primary responsibility for the financial reporting, information systems, risk management, and disclosure controls and internal controls of the Company is vested in management.


II. COMPOSITION AND OPERATIONS

A. The<br> Committee shall be composed of not fewer than three directors and not more than five<br> directors, all of whom are “independent”^1^ under the requirements<br> or guidelines for audit committee service under applicable securities laws and rules<br> of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed for trading.
B. All<br> Committee members shall be "financially literate,"^2^ and at least<br> one member shall have "accounting or related financial expertise" as such terms<br> are interpreted by the Board in its business judgment in light of, and in accordance<br> with, the requirements or guidelines for audit committee service under applicable securities<br> laws and rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed for<br> trading. The Committee may include a member who is not financially literate, provided<br> he or she attains this status within a reasonable period of time following his or her<br> appointment and providing the Board has determined that including such member will not<br> materially adversely affect the ability of the Committee to act independently.
--- ---
C. No<br> Committee member shall serve on the audit committees of more than two other public issuers<br> without prior determination by the Board that such simultaneous service would not impair<br> the ability of such member to serve effectively on the Committee.

D. The<br> Committee shall operate in a manner that is consistent with the Committee Guidelines<br> outlined in Tab 8 of the Board Manual.
--- ---
E. The<br> Company's auditors shall be advised of the names of the Committee members and will receive<br> notice of and be invited to attend meetings of the Committee, and to be heard at those<br> meetings on matters relating to the auditor's duties.

The Committee has the authority to communicate directly<br> with the internal and external auditors as it deems appropriate to consider any matter<br> that the Committee or auditors determine should be brought to the attention of the Board<br> or Shareholders.
--- ---
G. The<br> Committee shall have the authority to select, retain, terminate and approve the fees<br> and other retention terms of special independent legal counsel and other consultants<br> or advisers to advise the Committee, as it deems necessary or appropriate, at the Company’s<br> expense.

--- ---
2 The Board has adopted the NI 52-110 definition of "financial literacy", which is an individual is financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the issuer's financial statements.

All crude oil and natural gas reserve and resource information contained in this document has been prepared and presented in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook. Reserves estimates have been made assuming that development of each property in respect of which the estimate is made will occur, without regard to the likely availability of funding required for such development. The actual crude oil and natural gas reserves and future production will be greater than or less than the estimates provided in this document.

Natural gas volumes have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent. Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

The following is Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), dated March 5, 2020, of Vermilion Energy Inc.’s (“Vermilion”, “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) operating and financial results as at and for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 compared with the corresponding periods in the prior year.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, together with the accompanying notes. Additional information relating to Vermilion, including its Annual Information Form, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or on Vermilion’s website at www.vermilionenergy.com.

The audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and comparative information have been prepared in Canadian dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS” or, alternatively, “GAAP”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

This MD&A includes references to certain financial and performance measures which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. These measures include:

Fund flows from operations: Fund flows from operations is a measure of profit or loss in accordance<br>with IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”.  Please see "Segmented Information" in the "Notes to the<br>Consolidated Financial Statements" for a reconciliation of fund flows from operations to net earnings.  We analyze<br>fund flows from operations both on a consolidated basis and on a business unit basis in order to assess the contribution of each<br>business unit to our ability to generate income necessary to pay dividends, repay debt, fund asset retirement obligations, and<br>make capital investments.
Net debt: Net debt is a capital management measure in accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation<br>of Financial Statements". Net debt is comprised of long-term debt plus current liabilities less current assets and represents<br>Vermilion's net financing obligations after adjusting for the timing of working capital fluctuations. Net debt excludes lease obligations<br>which are secured by a corresponding right-of-use asset. Please see "Capital disclosures" in the "Notes to the Consolidated<br>Financial Statements" for additional information.
--- ---
Netbacks: Netbacks are per boe and per mcf performance measures used in the analysis of operational<br>activities.  We assess netbacks both on a consolidated basis and on a business unit basis in order to compare and assess<br>the operational and financial performance of each business unit versus other business units and also versus third-party crude oil<br>and natural gas producers.
--- ---

In addition, this MD&A includes references to certain financial measures which are not specified, defined, or determined under IFRS and are therefore considered non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other issuers. For a full description of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Condensate Presentation


We report our condensate production in Canada and the Netherlands business units within the crude oil and condensate production line.  We believe that this presentation better reflects the historical and forecasted pricing for condensate, which is more closely correlated with crude oil pricing than with pricing for propane, butane, and ethane (collectively “NGLs” for the purposes of this report).

Guidance

On October 25, 2018, we released our 2019 capital budget and related guidance. On February 27, 2019, we deferred some activity to later in the year and reallocated capital between business units, although the 2019 total budget and production guidance remained unchanged. On October 31, 2019, we reduced our 2019 capital expenditure guidance to $520 million and our 2019 annual production guidance to 100,000 to 101,000 boe/d. Actual 2019 capital spending of $523 million was within 1% of our guidance and 2019 average production of 100,357 boe/d was approximately at the mid-point of our revised guidance range.

On October 31, 2019, we released our 2020 capital budget and associated production guidance.

The following table summarizes our guidance:

Q4 2019 vs. Q3 2019

We recorded net earnings for Q4 2019 of $1.5 million ($0.01/basic share) compared to a net loss<br>of $10.2 million ($0.07/basic share) in Q3 2019. This quarter-over-quarter increase in net earnings was primarily driven by a net<br>unrealized gain on derivatives and foreign exchange of $12.5 million (compared to a net unrealized loss of $32.8 million in Q3<br>2019) and a decrease in depletion and depreciation expense of $34.1 million. This increase to net earnings was partially offset<br>by an increase in deferred tax expense of $26.5 million and a $46.1 million impairment charge recorded on our Corrib asset.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 6  ■  2019 Annual Report

Fund flows from operations of $215.6 million during Q4 2019 was flat versus Q3 2019. We recorded<br>lower sales volumes as the result of an Australian inventory build during the current quarter. This decrease was offset by stronger<br>natural gas prices and a tax recovery in the Netherlands.

Q4 2019 vs. Q4 2018

We recorded net earnings for Q4 2019 of $1.5 million ($0.01/basic share) compared to net earnings of $323.4 million ($2.12/basic<br>share) in Q4 2018. This change was primarily<br>driven by a smaller unrealized derivative gain in the current quarter of $12.5 million (compared to an unrealized derivative gain<br>of $236.7 million in Q4 2018), the gain on business combinations of $128.2 million recorded in Q4 2018, and an impairment charge<br>of $46.1 million in Q4 2019.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 7  ■  2019 Annual Report

We generated fund flows from operations of $215.6 million in Q4 2019, a 3% decrease from $222.3<br>million in Q4 2018 primarily due to lower sales volumes. This decrease was partially offset by increased pricing net of derivatives.
Our consolidated realized price per boe decreased from $48.90/boe to $44.00/boe as a result of<br>decreases in crude oil and European natural gas pricing. However, we were able to mitigate the impact of lower commodity prices<br>with our hedge program, resulting in a net increase to fund flows from operations of $21.7 million.
--- ---

2019 vs. 2018

For the year ended December 31, 2019, net earnings of $32.8 million were recorded compared<br>to net earnings of $271.7 million in 2018. The decrease in net earnings is attributable to the gain on business combinations recorded<br>in 2018 of $128.2 million, higher depletion and depreciation expense of $66.1 million, an impairment charge recorded in 2019 of<br>$46.1 million, and higher non-cash expenses and net unrealized losses on derivatives and foreign exchange in the current year.<br>The decreases were partially offset by a year-over-year increase in fund flows from operations of $69.4 million.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 8  ■  2019 Annual Report

Fund flows from operations increased 8% for the year ended December 31, 2019 versus the same<br>period in 2018 due to a 16% increase in sales volumes, partially offset by related incremental expenses associated with the increased<br>volumes.
Our consolidated realized price decreased by 13% from $52.95/boe to $46.12/boe due to weaker crude<br>oil and natural gas pricing. We were able to mitigate a portion of the impact of lower commodity prices with our hedge program.<br>As a result, the $6.83/boe reduction in our realized price was partially offset by a $5.81/boe increase in realized derivative<br>gains.

Production review
---

Q4 2019 vs. Q3 2019

Consolidated average production of 97,875 boe/d during Q4 2019 increased by 1% compared to Q3 2019<br>production of 97,239 boe/d. Production increased in the United States from wells brought online late in Q3 2019 and in the Netherlands<br>due to planned and unplanned downtime in the previous quarter. These increases were offset by lower production primarily due to<br>the planned shutdown of the Wandoo platform in Australia for eight days to perform facility upgrades and regular maintenance and<br>five days of Corrib downtime in Ireland.

Q4 2019 vs. Q4 2018

Consolidated average production of 97,875 boe/d in Q4 2019 represented a decrease of 4% from Q4<br>2018 primarily as a result of production decreases in Canada following delays in our 2019 capital program and natural decline in<br>Ireland. These decreases were partially offset by continued organic growth in the United States.

2019 vs. 2018

For the year ended December 31, 2019, consolidated average production of 100,357 boe/d represented<br>an increase of 15% from the comparable period in 2018 due to growth in Canada, the United States, Australia, and the Netherlands.<br>In Canada and the United States, production increased as a result of acquisitions in 2018 and continued organic growth. Production<br>in Australia increased due to a successful two-well drilling program completed in Q1 2019. In the Netherlands, production increased<br>as a result of a new well brought on production in Q3 2018 and from a successful workover program in the first half of 2019.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 9  ■  2019 Annual Report

Activity review

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, capital expenditures of $100.6 million primarily<br>related to activity in Canada, the Netherlands, and France. In Canada, capital expenditures of $66.6 million included the drilling<br>of 16 (15.2 net) operated wells in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Capital expenditures of $9.7 million in the Netherlands related to<br>drilling the Weststellingwerf well (0.5 net). In France, capital expenditures of $8.7 million related to our workover and optimization<br>programs in the Aquitaine and Paris Basins. In the United States, capital expenditures of $3.1 million related to the drilling<br>of two wells, which were rig released in the subsequent quarter.
Sustainability review

Dividends

Declared dividends of $0.23 per common share per month throughout 2019, resulting in total dividends<br>declared of $2.76 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Long-term debt and net debt

Long-term debt increased to $1.9 billion as at December 31, 2019 from $1.8 billion as at December 31,<br>2018. This increase was primarily a result of increased borrowings on the revolving credit facility.
Net debt increased to $2.0 billion as at December 31, 2019, from $1.9 billion as at December 31,<br>2018, primarily due to increased borrowings on our revolving credit facility.
--- ---
The ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations decreased to 2.20 (December 31,<br>2018 - 2.30) as the increase to net debt was offset by higher four quarter trailing fund flows from operations.

Crude<br> oil prices rose in Q4 2019 relative to Q3 2019, driven by improved sentiment on global<br> oil demand growth, geopolitical risk events, and supportive OPEC policy. By the end of<br> Q4 2019, quarter-over-quarter WTI and Brent prices increased by 0.9% and 2.1% respectively,<br> in Canadian dollar terms. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, WTI and Brent<br> prices in Canadian dollar terms decreased by 3.2% and 6.8%, respectively, versus the<br> comparable period in the prior year.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 11  ■  2019 Annual Report

In<br> Canadian dollar terms, quarter-over-quarter, the Edmonton Sweet differential widened<br> by $0.93/bbl to a discount of $7.09/bbl against WTI, and the Saskatchewan LSB differential<br> widened by $1.23/bbl to a discount of $7.10/bbl against WTI. This was mainly driven by<br> the broader market weakness experienced across all western Canadian grades in December<br> 2019 due to the TC Energy Keystone pipeline spill announced on October 30^th^,<br> 2019 and subsequent western Canada inventory build that followed.
Vermilion's<br> crude oil production benefits from light oil pricing and no exposure to significantly<br> discounted heavy crude oil. Approximately 32% of our Q4 2019 crude oil and condensate<br> production was priced at the Dated Brent index (which averaged a premium to WTI of US$6.29/bbl),<br> while the remainder of our crude oil and condensate production was priced at the Saskatchewan<br> LSB, Canadian C5+, Edmonton Sweet, and WTI indices. Saskatchewan LSB, Canadian C5+, and<br> Wyoming light-oil historically had lower differentials than the more significantly constrained<br> WCS and MSW markers, making Vermilion's North American crude oil production price-advantaged<br> relative to other North American benchmark prices.

In Canadian dollar terms, market prices for European natural gas (TTF and NBP) increased by 21.8%<br>and 19.6% respectively in Q4 2019 compared to Q3 2019 as demand shifted seasonally due to winter heating consumption.
Natural gas prices at AECO in Q4 2019 increased by 134% compared to Q3 2019, due to both the seasonal<br>shift to winter heating consumption as well as improved access to storage and export markets as a result of the Canada Energy Regulator<br>approving TC Energy’s Temporary Service Protocol.
For Q4 2019, average European natural gas prices represented a $2.89/mcf premium to AECO and a<br>$2.07/mcf premium to Henry Hub pricing. Approximately 40% of our natural gas production in Q4 2019 benefited from this premium<br>European pricing. As a result, our consolidated natural gas realized price was a $1.13/mcf premium to AECO.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Canadian dollar remained flat against the<br>US dollar quarter-over-quarter. The annual average in 2019 was 2.3% weaker versus 2018.
For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Canadian dollar strengthened 0.7% against<br>the Euro quarter-over-quarter. The annual average in 2019 was 2.6% stronger versus 2018.

Production

Q4 2019 production increased slightly from the prior quarter as production from new well completions<br>more than offset natural decline. In addition, production in Q3 2019 was negatively impacted by planned turnaround activity and<br>other unplanned, weather-related downtime. Quarterly production decreased 4% year-over-year primarily due to delays in our 2019<br>capital program caused by abnormally wet weather in Alberta in Q3 2019.

Activity

Vermilion drilled 16 (15.2 net) operated wells and participated in the drilling of ten (1.6 net) non-operated wells in Canada during Q4 2019.

Alberta

In Q4 2019, we drilled eight (8.0 net) operated wells, completed four (4.0 net) operated wells,<br>and brought on production four (4.0 net) operated wells in Alberta.
In 2019, we drilled or participated in 22 (21.5 net) wells in Alberta.
--- ---

Saskatchewan

In Q4 2019, we drilled eight (7.2 net) operated wells and participated in the drilling of ten (1.6<br>net) non-operated wells, completed twelve (11.8 net) operated wells and ten (1.6 net) non-operated wells, and brought 23 (21.9<br>net) operated wells and ten (1.6 net) non-operated wells on production in Saskatchewan.
In 2019, we drilled or participated in 130 (111.4 net) wells in Saskatchewan.
--- ---

Sales

The realized price for our crude oil and condensate production in Canada is linked to WTI and is<br>subject to market conditions in western Canada as reflected by the Saskatchewan LSB, Canadian Condensate C5+, and Edmonton Sweet<br>index prices. The realized price of our natural gas in Canada is based on the AECO index.
Q4 2019 sales increased 10% compared to Q3 2019 primarily due to higher realized natural gas and<br>NGL prices. Quarter-over-quarter, our crude oil and condensate production mix remained stable at approximately 50% of production.
--- ---
Sales increased by 11% from Q4 2018 to Q4 2019 due to an increase in realized crude oil and condensate<br>and natural gas prices partially offset by a decrease in realized NGL prices and production.
--- ---
For the year ended December 31, 2019 sales increased 23% compared to the prior year period<br>primarily driven by a full-year impact to production from the Spartan assets.
--- ---

Royalties

Q4 2019 royalties as a percentage of sales of 11.7% decreased from 12.7% in Q3 2019 as a result<br>of an adjustment related to gas cost allowance recorded in the prior quarter.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, royalties as a percentage of sales<br>of 11.7% and 11.4%, decreased from 13.7% and 12.6% in the comparable prior year periods. This decrease was due to the manner in<br>which Alberta crude royalties are calculated which deferred the royalty impact of lower oil prices in Q4 2018 into 2019, in addition<br>to lower average royalty rates for new wells brought on production.
--- ---

Transportation

Q4 2019 transportation expense on a per unit basis remained relatively consistent compared to Q3<br>2019 and Q4 2018. Transportation expense on a dollar basis decreased in Q4 2019 as compared to Q4 2018 due to lower production.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, transportation expense on a per unit basis increased<br>versus 2018 due to an increased weighting towards crude oil production, which incurs higher transportation expense.
--- ---

Operating

Q4 2019 operating expense on a dollar and per unit basis increased compared to Q3 2019 largely due to an increase in project<br>activity.
Q4 2019 operating expense on a dollar and per unit basis remained relatively consistent compared to Q4 2018.
--- ---
For the year ended December 31, 2019, operating expense increased on a dollar and per unit<br>basis versus the comparable period in 2018. On a dollar basis, the increase in operating expense was primarily due to higher production<br>volumes during 2019. On a per unit basis, the increase in operating expense was primarily attributable to an increased weighting<br>towards crude oil production which has a higher associated per unit operating expense.
--- ---

General and administration

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, general and administrative expenses increased<br>versus all comparable periods primarily due to an increase in allocations from our Corporate segment and increased headcount costs.

Production

Q4 2019 production decreased 1% from the prior quarter primarily due to weather-related downtime<br>in the Aquitaine Basin. Production in the Paris Basin was relatively consistent with the prior quarter, benefitting from a full<br>quarter of uninterrupted service at the Grandpuits refinery which restarted in mid-August.

Activity

Our 2019 capital program included the drilling of four (4.0 net) wells in the Champotran field<br>during the first half of the year. In addition to the drilling activity, we continued our workover and optimization programs in<br>the Aquitaine and Paris Basins throughout 2019.

Sales

Crude oil in France is priced with reference to Dated Brent.
Q4 2019 sales decreased by 5% versus Q3 2019 primarily due to a decrease in sales volumes, partially<br>offset by an increase in prices, consistent with the increase in the Dated Brent reference price.
--- ---
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, sales decreased 9% versus the comparable<br>periods in the prior year due to a decrease in both the Dated Brent reference price and sales volumes.
--- ---

Royalties

Royalties in France relate to two components: RCDM (levied on units of production and not subject<br>to changes in commodity prices) and R31 (based on a percentage of sales).
For the three months ended December 31, 2019, royalties as a percentage of sales of 13.2% were<br>slightly lower than the comparable periods due to an adjustment associated with the year-end royalty calculation which impacted<br>Q4 2019.
--- ---
For the year ended December 31, 2019, royalties as a percentage of sales of 13.4% remained relatively consistent with<br>the prior year.
--- ---

Transportation

Transportation expense decreased in Q4 2019 compared to Q3 2019 due to the use of alternate delivery<br>points and transportation methods during the aforementioned third party refinery outage, which increased transportation costs in<br>Q2 2019 and Q3 2019.
Transportation expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased versus the comparable period in the prior year due<br>to the refinery outage.
--- ---

Operating

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 operating expenses increased against all<br>comparable periods on both a per unit and dollar basis. The increases were primarily due to higher electricity prices in the current<br>year periods.

General and administration

Fluctuations in general and administration expense for all comparable periods were due to the timing<br>of expenditures and allocations from our corporate segment.

Current income taxes

In France, current income taxes are applied to taxable income, after eligible deductions, at a statutory rate of 32.0%.
Current income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2019 versus the comparative period were higher, mainly due to realized<br>derivative gains.
--- ---
Current income taxes for Q4 2019 versus the comparative quarters were higher, mainly due to decreased tax deductions for depletion.
--- ---
On December 28, 2019, the French Parliament approved the Finance Bill for 2020. The Finance Bill<br>for 2020 provides for a progressive decrease of the French corporate income tax rate for companies with sales below €250 million<br>from 32.0% to 25.8% by 2022, with a reduction in 2020 to 28.9%.

Production

Q4 2019 production increased 9% from the prior quarter primarily due to the restoration of production<br>following planned and unplanned facility downtime in Q3 2019. Quarterly production decreased 8% year-over-year primarily due to<br>Q4 2018 benefitting from the first full quarter of production from the Eesveen-02 well, which was brought on production in September<br>2018, in addition to natural decline.

Activity

During Q4 2019, we successfully drilled and completed the Weststellingwerf well (0.5 net), representing<br>our first drilling activity in the Netherlands since 2017.

Sales

The price of our natural gas in the Netherlands is based on the TTF index.
Q4 2019 sales increased versus Q3 2019 consistent with increases in the TTF reference price and increased sales volumes.
--- ---
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, sales decreased versus comparable periods<br>consistent with decreases in the TTF reference price.
--- ---

Royalties

In the Netherlands, certain wells are subject to overriding royalties while some wells are subject<br>to royalties that take effect only when specified production levels are exceeded. As such, royalty expense may fluctuate from period<br>to period depending on the amount of production from those wells.
Royalties in Q4 2019 represented 0.5% of sales. Effective March 1, 2019, certain royalty rights were acquired which resulted<br>in lower royalties.
--- ---

Transportation

Our production in the Netherlands is not subject to transportation expense as gas is sold at the plant gate.

Operating

Operating expense on a per unit basis increased in Q4 2019 compared to Q3 2019 and Q4 2018 primarily as a result of the timing<br>of activity.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, operating expense per unit increased compared to the<br>prior year as a result of increased maintenance activity, higher surface lease rentals and water disposal costs.
--- ---

General and administration

Fluctuations in general and administration expense for all comparable periods were due to the timing<br>of expenditures and allocations from our corporate segment.

Current income taxes

In the Netherlands, current income taxes are applied to taxable income, after eligible deductions<br>and a 10% uplift deduction applied to operating expenses, eligible general and administration expenses, and tax deductions for<br>depletion and asset retirement obligations, at a tax rate of 50%.
Current income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2019 versus the comparative period were lower<br>mainly due to decreased TTF prices resulting in decreased sales and other prior year adjustments.
--- ---
Current income taxes for Q4 2019 versus the comparative quarters were lower mainly due to increased<br>tax deductions for depletion, asset retirement obligations, and other prior year adjustments.
--- ---
On December 17, 2019, the Dutch government approved the 2020 Tax Plan. The Bill provides for reduced<br>corporate tax rates from 25.0% in 2020 to 21.7% by 2021. Due to the tax regime applicable to natural gas producers in the Netherlands,<br>the reduction to the corporate tax rate is not expected to have a material impact to Vermilion taxes in the Netherlands.

Production

Q4 2019 production increased 3% from the prior quarter due to better uptime on our operated oil<br>and natural gas assets, partially offset by unplanned downtime on our non-operated oil assets. Quarterly production decreased 10%<br>year-over-year due to unplanned downtime on our operated and non-operated oil and natural gas assets.

Activity

During Q4 2019, we continued to evaluate tie-in alternatives for the Burgmoor Z5 (46% working interest)<br>well, which was tested early in the third quarter of 2019. We expect production from this well to begin early next year. We also<br>continued to evaluate and perform workover opportunities on our operated assets.

Sales

The price of our natural gas in Germany is based on the NCG and GPL indexes, which are both highly<br>correlated to the TTF benchmark. Crude oil in Germany is priced with reference to Dated Brent.
Q4 2019 sales were consistent versus Q3 2019 due to increases in crude oil and natural gas reference prices offset by a decrease<br>in sales volumes.
--- ---
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, sales decreased versus the comparable<br>periods in 2018 due to decreases in crude oil and natural gas reference prices, as well as a decrease in sales volumes.
--- ---

Royalties

Our production in Germany is subject to state and private royalties on sales after certain eligible deductions.
Royalties as a percentage of sales were lower in Q4 2019 versus Q3 2019 due to an adjustment in Q4 2019 related to prior periods.
--- ---
Royalties as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018 remained relatively consistent.
--- ---

Transportation

Transportation expense in Germany relates to costs incurred to deliver natural gas from the processing<br>facility to the customer and deliver crude oil to the refinery.
Transportation expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 decreased compared<br>to the prior periods due to the impact of prior period adjustments associated with final billings from the transportation systems<br>operators.
--- ---

Operating

Operating expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 increased versus the<br>comparable periods due to higher costs associated with facility maintenance and repairs.

General and administration

Fluctuations in general and administration expense for all comparable periods were due to the timing<br>of expenditures and allocations from our corporate segment.

Current income taxes

As a result of our tax pools in Germany, we did not incur current income taxes in the Germany Business Unit for the years ended

December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 23  ■  2019 Annual Report

Production

Q4 2019 production decreased 18% quarter-over-quarter primarily due to the planned shutdown of<br>the Wandoo platform for eight days to perform facility upgrades and regular maintenance. Quarterly production increased 9% year-over-year<br>primarily due to the production contribution from the two (2.0 net) well drilling program completed at the end of January 2019.
Production volumes are managed to targets while meeting long-term supply requirements of our customers.
--- ---

Activity

Our 2019 capital program included the completion of our two (2.0 net) well drilling program at<br>the end of January 2019, in addition to performing various asset optimization projects and proactive maintenance.

Sales

Crude oil in Australia is priced with reference to Dated Brent and sold at an $8.02 premium to Dated Brent during 2019.
Q4 2019 sales decreased compared to Q3 2019 due to lower sales volumes resulting from more liftings<br>in the prior quarter. This decrease in sales volumes was partially offset by higher sales per bbl due to an increase in the Dated<br>Brent reference price and premium received.
--- ---
Sales increased for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 versus the comparable<br>periods in 2018, despite decreases in the Dated Brent reference pricing, due to the timing of sales in the relevant periods.
--- ---

Royalties and transportation

Our production in Australia is not subject to royalties or transportation expense as crude oil is sold directly at the Wandoo<br>B platform.

Operating

Q4 2019 operating expense decreased compared to Q3 2019 on a dollar basis due to lower sales volumes<br>in the fourth quarter. Operating expenses are deferred on the balance sheet until oil is sold at which point the related expenses<br>are recognized into income. On a per unit basis, operating expenses increased in Q4 2019 compared to Q3 2019 due to the timing<br>of major project activity.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, operating expense decreased on a per unit basis primarily<br>due to lower diesel usage and helicopter costs, coupled with increased production.
--- ---

General and administration

Fluctuations in general and administration expense for all comparable periods are primarily due<br>to the timing of expenditures and allocations from our corporate segment.

Current income taxes

In Australia, current income taxes include both Petroleum Resource Rent Tax ("PRRT")<br>and corporate income taxes. PRRT is a profit based tax applied at a rate of 40% on sales less eligible expenditures, including<br>operating expenses and capital expenditures. Corporate income taxes are applied at a rate of 30% on taxable income after eligible<br>deductions, which includes PRRT paid.
Current income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2019 versus the comparative period were higher<br>mainly due to increased production resulting in higher sales.
--- ---
Current income taxes for Q4 2019 versus Q3 2019 were lower mainly due to decreased sales. <br>Current income taxes for Q4 2019 versus Q4 2018 were higher mainly due to increased Q4 2018 PRRT tax deductions for the capital<br>expenditures related to the drilling campaign.

Production

Q4 2019 production increased 15% from the prior quarter due to a full quarter of contributions<br>from the four wells we brought on production during the third quarter of 2019, in addition to better uptime across our asset base.<br>Quarterly production increased 60% year-over-year primarily due to the contributions from our 2019 Hilight drilling program.

Activity

During Q4 2019, we began drilling two (1.98 net) Turner horizontal wells in the Hilight field, both of which were rig released<br>in January 2020.
In 2019, we drilled eight (8.0 net) Turner horizontal wells in the Hilight field.
--- ---

Sales

The price of our crude oil in the United States is directly linked to WTI and subject to local<br>market differentials within the United States. The price of our natural gas in the United States is based on the Henry Hub index.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 versus all comparable periods, sales<br>increased due to increased production, which more than offset the decrease in lower commodity prices.
--- ---

Royalties

Our production in the United States is subject to federal and private royalties, severance tax,<br>and ad valorem tax. In Hilight, approximately 65% of the current production is subject to Fee royalties, 30% to Federal royalties<br>and the remainder to State royalties. In East Finn, approximately 70% of the current production is subject to Federal royalties<br>with the remainder split between State and Fee royalties.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, royalties as a percentage of sales remained relatively consistent.
--- ---

Operating

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 versus all comparable periods, operating<br>expense increased primarily due to incremental expenses associated with the year-over-year production increase.

General and administration

Fluctuations in general and administration expense for all comparable periods were due to the incremental<br>staffing of the United States business unit, timing of expenditures, and allocations from our corporate segment.

Current income taxes

As a result of our tax pools in the United States, we do not expect to incur current income taxes<br>in the United States Business Unit for the foreseeable future.

Production

Q4 2019 production averaged 276 boe/d. In Hungary, we brought on production the Mh-21 (0.3 net)<br>and Battonya E-09 (1.0 net) wells, drilled in the second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. The wells were brought on production<br>mid-way through the fourth quarter of 2019.

Activity

During the fourth quarter, we were provisionally awarded the Kadarkút exploration license<br>in western Hungary. The license covers approximately 298,500 net acres and consists of primarily oil prospects. Most of the license<br>is covered by existing 3D seismic and the agreement covers a four year period, with the option to extend the license for a further<br>two years.

Sales, royalties, and operating expense

Sales, royalties, and operating expense in the corporate segment in Q4 2019 and Q4 2018 relate to natural gas production in<br>Hungary.
Sales of natural gas in Hungary are priced with reference to the TTF index less adjustments for<br>processing. During the quarter we realized a price of $5.22/mcf versus the $5.36/mcf benchmark price.
--- ---
The calculation for royalties on natural gas in Hungary incorporates the Dated Brent benchmark<br>prices and as a result the quarterly realized royalty percentage will fluctuate depending on the relative pricing for TTF as compared<br>to Dated Brent. As TTF weakened by 51% in Q4 2019 versus Q4 2018 while Dated Brent decreased 7% over the same period, our realized<br>royalty rate increased to 32% in Q4 2019 versus 22% in Q4 2018.
--- ---
Operating expense relates to contract operating costs, which equated to $2.30/boe during Q4 2019.
--- ---

Purchased commodities

Purchased commodities and the associated sales relate to amounts purchased from third parties,<br>primarily to manage positions on pipelines. There is no net impact on fund flows from operations.

General and administration

Fluctuations in general and administration expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 versus<br>all comparable periods were due to allocations to the various business unit segments.

Current income taxes

Taxes in our corporate segment relate to holding companies that pay current taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

Interest expense

Interest expense in Q4 2019 remained relatively consistent compared to Q3 2019 and Q4 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, interest expense increased versus the comparative period<br>in 2018 due to higher drawings on the revolving credit facility, partially offset by the impact of the USD-to-EUR cross-currency<br>interest rate swaps entered into in Q2 2019.
--- ---

Realized gain or loss on derivatives

The realized gain on derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2019 is related primarily<br>to receipts for European natural gas and crude oil hedges.
A listing of derivative positions as at December 31, 2019 is included in “Supplemental Table 2” of this MD&A.
--- ---

Realized other income

Realized other income recognized in the year ended December 31, 2019, relates primarily to<br>amounts received pursuant to a negotiated settlement of a legal matter in Canada.

Fluctuations in fund flows from operations may occur as a result of changes in production levels, commodity prices, and costs to produce petroleum and natural gas. In addition, fund flows from operations may be affected by the timing of crude oil shipments in Australia and France. When crude oil inventory is built up, the related operating expense, royalties, and depletion expense are deferred and carried as inventory on the consolidated balance sheet. When the crude oil inventory is subsequently drawn down, the related expenses are recognized.

Net earnings (loss) 1,477 (10,229 ) 323,373 32,799 271,650

Fluctuations in net income from period-to-period are caused by changes in both cash and non-cash based income and charges. Cash based items are reflected in fund flows from operations. Non-cash items include: equity based compensation expense, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, accretion, depletion and depreciation expense, and deferred taxes. In addition, non-cash items may also include gains resulting from business combinations or charges resulting from impairment or impairment reversals.

Equity based compensation

Equity based compensation expense relates primarily to non-cash compensation expense attributable to long-term incentives granted to directors, officers, and employees under security-based arrangements, including the Vermilion Incentive Plan ("VIP"), a security-based compensation arrangement ("Five-Year Compensation Arrangement"), and the Deferred Share Unit Plan ("DSU Plan").

Equity based compensation expense in Q4 2019 decreased compared to Q3 2019 and Q4 2018, primarily due to a revision of performance factor in Q4 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, equity based compensation expense increased versus the comparable period in 2018 primarily due to a higher value of outstanding share awards in 2019.

Unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments

Unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments arise as a result of changes in forecasts for future prices and rates. As Vermilion uses derivative instruments to manage the commodity price exposure of our future crude oil and natural gas production, we will normally recognize unrealized gains on derivative instruments when future commodity price forecasts decline and vice-versa. As derivative instruments are settled, the unrealized gain or loss previously recognized is reversed, and the settlement results in a realized gain or loss on derivative instruments.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized an unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $30.4 million and $57.4 million respectively. Of those amounts, $39.0 million and $82.6 million relates to our crude oil commodity derivative instruments, offset by an unrealized gain of $51.3 million and $102.5 million on our European natural gas derivative instruments.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 the unrealized loss also consists of an unrealized loss of $42.5 million and $74.2 million respectively from our USD-to-CAD cross currency interest rate swaps. These USD-to-CAD cross currency interest rate swaps are entered into on a monthly basis to hedge the foreign exchange movements on USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. As such, unrealized gains and losses on our cross currency interest swaps are offset by unrealized losses and gains on foreign exchange relating to the underlying USD borrowings from our revolving credit facility.

Unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses

As a result of Vermilion’s international operations, Vermilion has monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. These monetary assets and liabilities include cash, receivables, payables, long-term debt, derivative instruments and intercompany loans. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses result from translating these monetary assets and liabilities from their underlying currency to the Canadian dollar.

In 2019, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses primarily resulted from:

The translation of Euro denominated intercompany loans from Vermilion Energy Inc. to our international<br>subsidiaries. An appreciation in the Euro against the Canadian dollar will result in an unrealized foreign exchange gain (and vice-versa).<br>Under IFRS, the offsetting foreign exchange loss or gain is recorded as a currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive<br>income. As a result, consolidated comprehensive income reflects the offsetting of these translation adjustments while net earnings<br>reflects only the parent company's side of the translation.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 30  ■  2019 Annual Report

The translation of USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. The unrealized foreign exchange<br>gains or losses on these borrowings are offset by unrealized derivative gains or losses on associated USD-to-CAD cross currency<br>interest rate swaps (discussed further above).
The translation of our USD denominated senior unsecured notes for the period from December 31,<br>2018 to June 12, 2019. Effective June 12, 2019, the USD senior notes were hedged by a USD-to-CAD cross currency interest rate swap.
--- ---

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the impact of the Euro strengthening against the Canadian dollar resulted in a $5.5 million unrealized gain on our intercompany loans. This was coupled with an unrealized gain of $37.3 million on our USD borrowings from our revolving credit facility.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the impact of the Euro weakening against the Canadian dollar resulted in a $29.4 million unrealized loss on our intercompany loans. This was offset by a $19.8 million unrealized gain on our USD denominated senior unsecured notes for the period from December 31, 2018 to June 12, 2019 (when the USD senior notes were hedged by a USD-to-EUR cross currency interest rate swap) and a $66.8 million unrealized gain on our USD borrowings from our revolving credit facility.

As at December 31, 2019, a $0.01 appreciation of the Euro against the Canadian dollar would result in a $1.6 million increase to net earnings as a result of an unrealized gain on foreign exchange. In contrast, a $0.01 appreciation of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would result in a $(5.6) million decrease to net earnings as a result of an unrealized loss on foreign exchange.

Accretion

Accretion expense is recognized to update the present value of the asset retirement obligation balance. Accretion expense in Q4 2019 was relatively consistent with Q3 2019 and Q4 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, accretion expense increased versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily attributable to new obligations recognized following acquisition activity in 2018.

Depletion and depreciation

Depletion and depreciation expense is recognized to allocate the cost of capital assets over the useful life of the respective assets. Depletion and depreciation expense per unit of production is determined for each depletion unit (which are groups of assets within a specific production area that have similar economic lives) by dividing the sum of the net book value of capital assets and future development costs by total proved plus probable reserves.

Fluctuations in depletion and depreciation expense are primarily the result of changes in produced crude oil and natural gas volumes and changes in depletion and depreciation per unit. Fluctuations in depletion and depreciation per unit are the result of changes in reserves, future development costs, and relative production mix.

Depletion and depreciation on a per boe basis for Q4 2019 of $15.84 decreased from $19.12 in Q3 2019 due to an increase in proved plus probable reserves. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, depletion and depreciation on a per boe basis of $15.84 and $18.43 respectively, decreased from $18.67 and $19.22 in the respective comparable periods in 2018 due to the increase in proved plus probable reserves in Q4 2019.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets arise when the tax basis of an asset exceeds its accounting basis (known as a deductible temporary difference). Conversely, deferred tax liabilities arise when the tax basis of an asset is less than its accounting basis (known as a taxable temporary difference). Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the enacted or substantively enacted tax rate that is expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.

As such, fluctuations in deferred tax expenses and recoveries primarily arise as a result of: changes in the accounting basis of an asset or liability without a corresponding tax basis change (e.g. when derivative assets and liabilities are marked-to-market or when accounting depletion differs from tax depletion), changes in available tax losses (e.g. if they are utilized to offset taxable income), changes in estimated future taxable profits resulting in a de-recognition or re-recognition of deferred tax assets, and changes in enacted or substantively enacted tax rates.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, deferred tax expense of $21.3 million and $56.1 million, respectively, was recognized primarily related to the de-recognition of a portion of non-expiring tax loss pools in Ireland as there is uncertainty as to Vermilion's ability to fully utilize such losses based on commodity price forecasts as at December 31, 2019.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 31  ■  2019 Annual Report

Impairment

Impairment losses are recognized when indicators of impairment arise and the carrying amount of a cash generating unit ("CGU") exceeds its recoverable amount, determined as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use. In 2019, as a result of declining European natural gas price forecasts a non-cash impairment charge of $46.1 million was recorded in the Ireland CGU. The recoverable amount was determined using fair value less costs to sell, which considered future after-tax cash flows from proved plus probable reserves using forecast price and cost estimates and an after-tax discount rate of 9.0%.

Gain on business combinations

A gain on business combination is recognized when the total consideration paid in a business combination is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired. For the year ended December 31, 2018, gains of $68.8 million and $59.4 million were recognized on our purchases of Assets in Wyoming and Shell E&P Ireland Limited, respectively.

Taxes


Current income tax rates

Vermilion pays corporate income taxes in France, Netherlands, and Australia. In addition, Vermilion pays PRRT in Australia which is a profit based tax applied at a rate of 40% on sales less operating expenses, capital expenditures, and other eligible expenditures. PRRT is deductible in the calculation of taxable income in Australia.


For 2019 and 2018, taxable income was subject to corporate income tax at the following statutory rates:

Jurisdiction 2019 2018
Canada 26.7 % 27.0 %
France 32.0 % 34.4 %
Netherlands ^(1)^ 50.0 % 50.0 %
Germany 31.8 % 30.2 %
Ireland 25.0 % 25.0 %
Australia 30.0 % 30.0 %
United States 21.0 % 21.0 %
^(1)^ In the Netherlands, an additional 10% uplift deduction is allowed against taxable income that<br>is applied to operating expenses, eligible general and administration expenses, and tax deductions for depletion and abandonment<br>retirement obligations.

Tax legislation changes
---

On June 28, 2019, the Alberta government enacted a Bill to gradually reduce the provincial corporate tax rate from 12% to 8% by 2022, with the first reduction to 11% effective July 1, 2019.

On December 28, 2019, the French Parliament approved the Finance Bill for 2020. The Finance Bill for 2020 provides for a progressive decrease of the French corporate income tax rate for companies with sales below €250 million from 32.0% to 25.8% by 2022, with a reduction in 2020 to 28.9%.

On December 17, 2019, the Dutch government approved the 2020 Tax Plan. The Bill provides for reduced corporate tax rates from 25.0% in 2020 to 21.7% by 2021. Due to the tax regime applicable to natural gas producers in the Netherlands, the reduction to the corporate tax rate is not expected to have a material impact to Vermilion taxes in the Netherlands.

Financial Position Review

Balance sheet strategy

We believe that our balance sheet supports our defined growth initiatives and our focus is on managing and maintaining a conservative balance sheet. To ensure that our balance sheet continues to support our defined growth initiatives, we regularly review whether our forecast of fund flows from operations is sufficient to finance planned capital expenditures, dividends, and abandonment and reclamation expenditures. To the extent that fund flows from operations forecasts are not expected to be sufficient to fulfill such expenditures, we will evaluate our ability to finance any shortfall with debt (including borrowing using the unutilized capacity of our existing revolving credit facility), issue equity, or by reducing some or all categories of expenditures to ensure that total expenditures do not exceed available funds. To ensure that we maintain a conservative balance sheet, we monitor the ratio of net debt to fund flows from operations.

We remain focused on maintaining and strengthening our balance sheet by aligning our exploration and development capital budget with forecasted fund flows from operations to target a payout ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of approximately 100%. We continually monitor for changes in forecasted fund flows from operations as a result of changes to forward commodity prices and as appropriate, we will adjust our dividend policy and exploration and development capital plans. In the current economic and commodity outlook following the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), there is uncertainty regarding our ability to achieve a 100% payout ratio at a reasonable level of capital expenditures. Therefore, effective for the March 2020 dividend (payable April 15, 2020), we reduced our monthly dividend by 50%.

Net debt

Net debt is reconciled to long-term debt, as follows:

As at
($M) Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018
Long-term debt 1,924,665 1,796,207
Current liabilities 416,210 563,199
Current assets (347,681 ) (429,877 )
Net debt 1,993,194 1,929,529
Ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations 2.20 2.30

As at December 31, 2019, net debt increased to $2.0 billion (December 31, 2018 - $1.9 billion) primarily due to the impact of increased borrowings on the revolving credit facility to fund our capital program. The ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations decreased to 2.20 (December 31, 2018 - 2.30) as the increase to net debt was offset by higher four quarter trailing fund flows from operations.

Long-term debt

The balances recognized on our balance sheet are as follows:

As at
($M) Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018
Revolving credit facility 1,539,225 1,392,206
Senior unsecured notes 385,440 404,001
Long-term debt 1,924,665 1,796,207

Revolving Credit Facility

In Q2 2019, we negotiated an amendment to our $2.1 billion revolving credit facility to extend the maturity to May 31, 2023. The amendment included changes to the financial covenants, as described below.

As at December 31, 2019, Vermilion had in place a bank revolving credit facility maturing May 31, 2023 with terms and outstanding positions as follows:

As at
($M) Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018
Total facility amount 2,100,000 1,800,000
Amount drawn (1,539,225 ) (1,392,206 )
Letters of credit outstanding (10,230 ) (15,400 )
Unutilized capacity 550,545 392,394

As at December 31, 2019, the revolving credit facility was subject to the following financial covenants:

As at
Financial covenant Limit Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018
Consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA Less than 4.0 1.94 1.72
Consolidated total senior debt to consolidated EBITDA Less than 3.5 1.56 1.34
Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense Greater than 2.5 13.46 14.57

In Q2 2019, our financial covenants were updated to replace the consolidated total senior debt to total capitalization covenant with an interest coverage covenant (calculated as consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense) and to add provisions relating to our liability management ratings in Alberta and Saskatchewan. If our security adjusted liability management ratings fall below specified limits in a province, a portion of the asset retirement obligations are included in the definitions of consolidated total debt and consolidated total senior debt. An event of default occurs if our security adjusted liability management ratings breach additional lower limits for a period greater than 90 days. As of December 31, 2019, Vermilion's liability management ratings were higher than the specified levels and as such no amounts relating to asset retirement obligations were included in the calculation of consolidated total debt and consolidated total senior debt.

Our financial covenants include financial measures defined within our revolving credit facility agreement that are not defined under IFRS. These financial measures are defined by our revolving credit facility agreement as follows:

Consolidated total debt: Includes all amounts classified as “Long-term debt”, “Current<br>portion of long-term debt”, and “Lease obligations” (including the current portion included within "Accounts<br>payable and accrued liabilities" but excluding operating leases as defined under IAS 17) on our balance sheet.
Consolidated total senior debt: Defined as consolidated total debt excluding unsecured and subordinated debt.
--- ---
Consolidated EBITDA: Defined as consolidated net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation,<br>accretion and certain other non-cash items, adjusted for the impact of the acquisition of a material subsidiary.
--- ---
Total interest expense: Includes all amounts classified as "Interest expense", but excluding interest on operating<br>leases as defined under IAS 17.
--- ---

Senior Unsecured Notes

On March 13, 2017, Vermilion issued US$300.0 million of senior unsecured notes at par. The notes bear interest at a rate of 5.625% per annum, paid semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, and mature on March 15, 2025. As direct senior unsecured obligations of Vermilion, the notes rank equally in right of payment with existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company.

The senior unsecured notes were recognized at amortized cost and include the transaction costs directly related to the issuance.

Vermilion may, at its option, redeem the senior unsecured notes prior to maturity as follows:

Prior to March 15, 2020, Vermilion may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the<br>senior unsecured notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings by the Company at a redemption price of 105.625% of the principal<br>amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the applicable redemption date.
Prior to March 15, 2020, Vermilion may redeem some or all of the senior unsecured notes at a price<br>equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior unsecured notes, plus a “make-whole” premium and any accrued and<br>unpaid interest.
--- ---
On or after March 15, 2020, Vermilion may redeem some or all of the senior unsecured notes at the<br>redemption prices set forth in the following table, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

2021 102.813 %
2022 101.406 %
2023 and thereafter 100.000 %

Cross currency interest rate swaps

On June 12, 2019, Vermilion entered into a series of cross currency interest rate swaps with a syndicate of banks. The cross currency interest rate swaps mature March 15, 2025 and include regular cash receipts and payments on March 15 and September 15 of each year. On a net basis, the cross currency interest swaps result in Vermilion receiving US dollar interest and principal amounts equal to the interest and principal payments under the US $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes. In exchange, Vermilion will make interest and principal payments equal to €265.0 million at a rate of 3.275%.

The cross currency interest rate swaps were executed as two separate sets of instruments, wherein Vermilion:

Receives US dollar interest and principal amounts equal to US$300.0 million of debt at 5.625% interest<br>and pays Canadian dollar interest and principal amounts equal to $398.5 million of debt at 5.40% interest.
Receives Canadian dollar interest and principal amounts equal to $398.5 million of debt at 5.40%<br>interest and pays Euro interest and principal amounts equal to €265.0 million at a rate of 3.275%.

Shareholders' capital

In total, dividends declared for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $427.3 million.

The following table outlines our dividend payment history:

Date Monthly dividend per unit or share
January 2003 to December 2007 $0.170
January 2008 to December 2012 $0.190
January 2013 to December 2013 $0.200
January 2014 to March 2018 $0.215
April 2018 to February 2020 $0.230
March 2020 onwards $0.115

Our policy with respect to dividends is to be conservative and maintain a low ratio of dividends to fund flows from operations. During low commodity price cycles, we will initially maintain dividends and allow the ratio to rise. Should low commodity price cycles remain for an extended period of time, we will evaluate the necessity of changing the level of dividends, taking into consideration capital development requirements, debt levels, and acquisition opportunities.

In the current economic and commodity outlook following the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), there is uncertainty regarding our ability to achieve a 100% payout ratio at a reasonable level of capital expenditures. Therefore, effective for the March 2020 dividend (payable April 15, 2020), we reduced our monthly dividend by 50%. Although we expect to be able to maintain our dividend, fund flows from operations may not be sufficient to fund cash dividends, capital expenditures, and asset retirement obligations. We will evaluate our ability to finance any shortfall with debt, issuances of equity, or by reducing some or all categories of expenditures to ensure that total expenditures do not exceed available funds.

As at December 31, 2019, there were approximately 2.3 million equity based compensation awards outstanding. As at March 5, 2020, there were approximately 156.6 million common shares issued and outstanding.

We have a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") that allows us to purchase up to 7,750,000 common shares (representing approximately 5% of shares outstanding common shares) beginning August 9, 2019 and ending August 8, 2020. Any common shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be canceled upon their purchase. As at December 31, 2019, no shares have been purchased pursuant to the NCIB.

Asset Retirement Obligations


As at December 31, 2019, asset retirement obligations were $618.2 million compared to $650.2 million as at December 31, 2018.

The present value of the obligation is calculated using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, calculated using a credit spread added to risk-free rates based on long-term, risk-free government bonds. The decrease in asset retirement obligations is largely attributable to an increase in the credit spread from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019.

The Euro weakening against the Canadian dollar also contributed to the decrease in the asset retirement obligations. This decrease was partially offset by changes in the estimated costs and accretion expense.

The risk-free rates used as inputs to discount the obligations were as follows:

Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018 Change
Canada 1.7 % 2.2 % (0.5 )%
France 0.9 % 1.6 % (0.7 )%

Risks and Uncertainties


Crude oil and natural gas exploration, production, acquisition and marketing operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties that have affected the financial statements and are reasonably likely to affect them in the future. These risks and uncertainties are discussed further below.

Commodityprices

Crude oil and natural gas prices have fluctuated significantly in recent years due to supply and demand factors. Changes in crude oil and natural gas prices affect the level of revenue we generate, the amount of proceeds we receive and payments we make on our commodity derivative instruments, and the level of taxes that we pay. In addition, lower crude oil and natural gas prices would reduce the recoverable amount of our capital assets and could result in impairments or impairment reversals.

Exchangerates

Exchange rate changes impact the Canadian dollar equivalent revenue and costs that we recognize. The majority of our crude oil and condensate revenue stream is priced in US dollars and as such an increase in the strength of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in the receipt of fewer Canadian dollars for our revenue. We also incur expenses and capital costs in US dollars, Euros and Australian dollars and thus a decrease in strength of the Canadian dollar relative to those currencies may result in the payment of more Canadian dollars for our expenditures.

In addition, exchange rate changes impact the Canadian equivalent carrying balances for our assets and liabilities. For foreign currency denominated monetary assets (such as cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt, and intercompany loans), the impact of changes in exchange rates is recorded in net earnings as a foreign exchange gain or loss.

Productionand sales volumes

Our production and sales volumes affect the level of revenue we generate and correspondingly the royalties and taxes that we pay. In addition, significant declines in production or sales volumes due to unforeseen circumstances may also result in an indicator of impairment and potential impairment charges.

Interestrates

Changes in interest rates impact the amount of interest expense we pay on our variable rate debt and also our ability to obtain fixed rate financing in the future.

Taxand royalty rates

Changes in tax and royalty rates in the jurisdictions that we operate in would impact the amount of current taxes and royalties that we pay. In addition, changes to substantively enacted tax rates would impact the carrying balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities, potentially resulting in a deferred tax recovery or incremental deferred tax expense.

In addition to the above, we are exposed to risk factors that impact our company and business. For further information on these risk factors, please refer to our Annual Information Form, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or on our website at www.vermilionenergy.com.

Financial Risk Management


To mitigate the risks affecting our business whenever possible, we seek to hire personnel with experience in specific areas. In addition, we provide continued training and development to staff to further develop their skills. When appropriate, we use third party consultants with relevant experience to augment our internal capabilities with respect to certain risks.

We consider our commodity price risk management program as a form of insurance that protects our cash flow and rate of return. The primary objective of the risk management program is to support our dividends and our internal capital development program. The level of commodity price risk management that occurs is dependent on the amount of debt that is carried. When debt levels are higher, we will be more active in protecting our cash flow stream through our commodity price risk management strategy.

When executing our commodity price risk management programs, we use derivative financial instruments encompassing over-the-counter financial structures as well as fixed and collar structures to economically hedge a part of our physical crude oil and natural gas production. We have strict controls and guidelines in relation to these activities and contract principally with counterparties that have investment grade credit ratings.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 38  ■  2019 Annual Report

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires us to make estimates. Critical accounting estimates are those accounting estimates that require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and a different estimate could have been made in the current period or the estimate could change period-to-period.

Thecarrying amount of asset retirement obligations

The carrying amount of asset retirement obligations ($618.2 million as at December 31, 2019) is the present value of estimated future costs, discounted from the estimated abandonment date using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Estimated future costs are based on our assessment of regulatory requirements and the present condition of our assets. The estimated abandonment date is based on the reserve life of the associated assets. The credit-adjusted risk-free rate is based on prevailing interest rates for the appropriate term, risk-free government bonds adjusted for our estimated credit spread (determined by reference to the trading prices for debt issued by similarly rated independent oil and gas producers, including our own senior unsecured notes). Changes in these estimates would result in a change in the carrying amount of asset retirement obligations and capital assets and, to a significantly lesser degree, future accretion and depletion expense.

The estimated abandonment date may change from period to period as the estimated abandonment date changes in response to new information, such as changes in reserve life assumptions or regulations. A one year increase or decrease in the estimated abandonment date would decrease or increase asset retirement obligations (with an offsetting increase to capital assets) by approximately $27.5 million.

The estimated credit-adjusted risk-free rate may change from period to period in response to market conditions in Canada and the international jurisdictions that we operate in. A 0.5% increase or decrease in the credit-adjusted risk-free rate would decrease or increase asset retirement obligations by approximately $52.7 million.

Therecognition of deferred tax assets in Ireland

In Ireland, we have $0.6 billion of non-expiring tax loss pools where $152.9 million of deferred tax assets has not been recognized as there is uncertainty on our ability to fully use these losses based on estimated future taxable profits. Estimated future taxable profits are calculated using proved and probable reserves and forecast pricing for European natural gas.

As a result, the carrying value of deferred tax assets may change from period-to-period due to changes in forecast pricing for European natural gas. A 5% increase or decrease in proved and probable reserves in our Ireland segment would increase or decrease deferred tax assets (with a corresponding deferred tax recovery or expense) by approximately $12.8 million. A €0.50/GJ increase or decrease in forecast European natural gas prices would increase or decrease deferred tax assets (with a corresponding deferred tax recovery or expense) by approximately $22.1 million.

Theestimated recoverable amount of cash generating units

Each reporting period, we assess our cash generating units for indicators of impairment or impairment reversal. If an indicator of impairment or impairment reversal is identified, we estimate the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit. As a result of declining European natural gas price forecasts during the year ended December 31, 2019 an indicator of impairment was identified in the Ireland cash generating unit. The recoverable amount was determined using fair value less costs to sell which considered future after-tax cash flows from proved plus probable reserves using forecast price and cost estimates and an after-tax discount rate of 9.0%. A non-cash impairment charge of $46.1 million was recorded in the consolidated statement of net earnings.

Changes in any of the key judgments, such as a revision in reserves, changes in forecast commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, capital or operating costs would impact the estimated recoverable amount. As at December 31, 2019, a 1% increase in the assumed after-tax discount rate would reduce the estimated recoverable amount by $14.7 million (resulting in a $60.8 million impairment) while a 5% decrease in revenues (due to a decrease in commodity price forecasts or reserve estimates) would reduce the estimated recoverable amount by $28.6 million (resulting in a $74.7 million impairment).

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any guarantee or off balance sheet arrangements that would materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Definitionof a Business - Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"

Vermilion elected to early adopt the amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" effective January 1, 2019, which will be applied prospectively to acquisitions that occur on or after January 1, 2019. The amendments introduce an optional concentration test, narrow the definitions of a business and outputs, and clarify that an acquired set of activities and assets must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. These amendments did not result in changes to Vermilion's accounting policies for applying the acquisition method.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Furthering our focus on sustainability (ESG) strategy, in 2019 we continued to support the recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), including in our reporting, focusing on climate but also on sustainability issues and opportunities in a wider context. In 2019, our Board of Directors and senior management participated in a robust scenario analysis process based on reporting from the World Economic Forum. This included analyzing factors such as the influence of new technologies, technology growth, government policy, and emerging markets that will impact the speed of the energy transition, and the resulting risks and opportunities for Vermilion. Our 2019 performance in sustainability rankings such as CDP, SAM, and Sustainalytics continued to be in the top quartile of our peer group.

Sustainability

Asa responsible oil and gas producer, we consistently seek to deliver long-term shareholder value by operating in an economically,environmentally and socially sustainable manner that is recognized as a model in our industry.


Vermilion understands our stakeholders’ expectations that we deliver strong financial results in a responsible and ethical way. As a result, we align our strategic priorities in the following order:

the<br> safety and health of our staff and those involved directly or indirectly in our operations;
our<br> responsibility to protect the environment. We follow the Precautionary Principle introduced<br> in 1992 by the United Nations "Rio Declaration on Environment and Development"<br> by using environmental risk as part of our development decision criteria, and by continually<br> seeking improved environmental performance in our operations; and
--- ---
economic<br> success through a focus on operational excellence across our business, which includes<br> technical and process excellence, efficiency, expertise, stakeholder relations, and respectful<br> and fair treatment of staff, contractors, partners and suppliers.
--- ---

Reflecting these priorities, we have positioned Vermilion purposefully within the energy transition. Predictions differ about the manner and speed of the transition, but our own scenario analyses are clear that Vermilion can best contribute by focusing on producing energy responsibly: reliably, cost-effectively and safely. We also believe those stakeholders who are concerned about sustainability, including investors, governments, regulators, communities and citizens, should turn to best-in-class operators such as Vermilion. Our crude oil and natural gas assets are strategic resources that can, and should, be deployed in the service of the transition and, indeed, of the framework for the planet’s health and wellbeing represented by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

To support our strategy, we regularly communicate with our stakeholders, including through our sustainability reporting. In 2018, reflecting our review of TCFD recommendations, we updated our engagement to include a broader inclusion of sustainability in regulatory reporting; we have continued this approach in 2019.

For more information, please see references to sustainability throughout this document, including the Climate Risk discussion. For additional context, our Sustainability Report is available online at www.vermilionenergy.com (under the heading “Our Responsibility”).

Vermilion’s sustainability performance and reporting have earned consistently strong recognition from external stakeholders:

Climate-related Disclosures

Vermilion has publicly released our identified climate risks and opportunities since our first annual CDP Climate Response in 2014. In alignment with recommendations from the TCFD and under the TCFD’s Strategy category, we are also including a summary of them in this document. For more information on our sustainability-related governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets, including those related to climate, please see our 2020 Proxy Statement and Information Circular, and our online sustainability reporting, particularly the Performance Metrics section and our 2019 CDP Response, which includes detailed information on the following risk and opportunity summaries.

Increased Pricing of GHG Emissions<br><br> <br>e.g. Carbon Tax - Policy and Legal<br><br> <br>- Medium-term<br><br> <br>In April 2019, our Saskatchewan operations<br>became subject to the federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, with carbon tax rates set at $20 per tonne of CO2e in 2019,<br>rising to $50 by 2022. Our Alberta operations are subject to the fuel charge element of the Act beginning in January 2020. Beginning in 2019, the direct and indirect impact of carbon taxes on the Canada Business Unit is estimated at approximately $2.3MM.  For European operations, our Carbon Liability Assessment Tool indicates carbon tax is not forecasted to exceed $0.5MM per annum. The potential financial impact is based<br>on proposed changes to carbon pricing in our operating regions out to 2023, resulting in expansion of emission sources covered,<br>and does not account for Vermilion’s proactive programs to manage emissions. This estimate is based on the probable cost<br>scenario identified in our Carbon Liability Assessment Tool.
Enhanced Emissions Reporting Obligations - Policy and Legal<br><br> <br>- Short-term<br><br> <br>Emissions reporting obligations are an<br>ongoing risk and can change due to political and regulatory evolution. The impact to Vermilion would be a decreased netback on<br>a per BOE basis, due to increased expenditures for personnel time and system development and implementation, to allow for more<br>robust emissions quantification. Based on our current output in Canada and Europe, current regulated thresholds, and growth, we anticipate that cost associated with meeting emission reporting obligations will increase in the short-term, likely as a small increase in operational costs. Regulations in all of our business units are monitored on an ongoing basis, and assumptions/scenario planning is used annually to assess risk.  Vermilion also engages stakeholders relating to emissions reporting obligations.  Management of this risk is built into Vermilion's operations and our Enterprise Risk Matrix.

The operational changes to comply with<br>methane reduction regulations is expected at approximately $1.5MM in the short term, with those associated with eliminating routine<br>flaring in France not expected to exceed $0.5MM. Costs associated with the Netherlands MJA3 program are built into our operating<br>costs and no significant expenditures are anticipated in the short term. Vermilion’s participation in the MJA3 program in the Netherlands since 2005, for example, has resulted in projects that have reduced our operations energy intensity by 76%.  We have allocated resources to complete methane reduction on a planned program basis, as opposed to a single reactive replacement program, resulting in an overall reduction in associated costs.
Changes in Emissions Regulations - Policy and Legal<br><br> <br>- Medium-term<br><br> <br>The risk associated with a change in emission<br> regulations in one or more of our business units is accounted for by Vermilion's Enterprise Risk Matrix, with mitigation measures<br> being reviewed, updated, and implemented on an annual basis. A shift in international regulations may also result in an impact<br> to Vermilion's supply chain, resulting in a limitation of market access or direct impact to the price of our products. As Vermilion<br> maintains a diversified asset base, we believe the risk to the marketability of our products is low. Following the COP21 conference, the importance of sustainable development and reduction of emission levels was confirmed by the commitments made by national governments.  Based on the anticipated changes in the various regulatory regimes under which Vermilion operates, the financial impact due to a regulatory change over the next 3 years is anticipated to be less than $2.0MM.  This does not include the cost associated with emission reduction projects completed on an annual basis, or previous projects that have annual emissions reductions. The formalization of Integrated Sustainability as a strategic objective in Vermilion’s long-term strategic plan allows us to better understand, identify, proactively respond, and manage the potential risk and uncertainty inherent in an evolving sustainability framework, both at a regional and corporate level.  As an example, beginning in 2017, Vermilion added requirements to assess capital expenditures for potential sustainability-related impacts; in 2018, we established a Sustainability Committee at the Board of Directors level, and a Sustainability Steering Committee at the senior management level.
Changes in Temperature Extremes - Physical<br><br> <br>- Long-term<br><br> <br>A decrease in temperature extremes experienced<br> in the winter months (i.e. lower seasonal lows) could increase the amount of fuel gas used by a variety of equipment essential<br> for safe production. Additional equipment could also be required (e.g. building heaters, line heaters) to ensure safe and efficient<br> operation, thus increasing our carbon footprint and costs. Temperature extremes could also increase capital costs associated with<br> drilling, completion and workover operations due to increased timelines, decreased productivity, equipment breakdown, etc. For<br> example, warmer winters would have a direct impact on Vermilion's more northern operations, through a decreased ability to access<br> lands and increased construction capital requirements. The financial implications on an annual basis are difficult to quantify; however, based on Vermilion's experience, the most significant financial implications would result from shutdowns in drilling or completions locations.  The estimated cost of this would be $0.5MM per day of delay. As extreme weather cannot be controlled, Vermilion uses our various Management Systems and processes to protect the health and safety of our workers, contractors and the public, and to protect the environment from adverse effect.  As an example of how we have reduced the potential impact related to access in remote assets, we use multi-well pads wherever possible, with multiple horizontal wells drilled from a single location.  This reduces the aerial impact of these activities on the environment, habitat fragmentation and carbon emissions associated with lease construction and equipment mobilization/demobilization.  Using multi-well locations would significantly decrease capital considerations in the event that limited frost days were realized in the coming years.
Changes In Precipitation Patterns and Extreme Variability in Weather Patterns - Physical<br><br> <br>- Long-term<br><br> <br>Vermilion holds assets inland, in coastal regions,<br> and offshore. A change in precipitation in any of these locations could have a negative impact on operations due to drought or<br> flooding. Flooding could result in limited access to locations / facilities, and poses a risk to our corporate headquarters. Alternatively,<br> drought conditions could impact the availability of surface and / or groundwater, which Vermilion, in part, relies on for drilling<br> and completion activities. This could negatively impact forecasted growth by increasing the timelines and capital costs to bring<br> new infrastructure onto production. The<br> financial implications of a single time event (e.g. wildfire) and continued strain event (e.g. drought) have been assessed on<br> a case-specific basis, and the financial implications of these events is believed to be manageable (impact under<br> $10.0MM).  Vermilion maintains insurance to mitigate the potential impact of precipitation extreme events (e.g.<br> flooding). Insurance for locations that have been identified as potentially being impacted by drought-induced events<br> (e.g. wildfire) is estimated at $0.5MM per annum. As these incidents are beyond Vermilion's control, we take measures to ensure effective emergency response to extreme weather events, to protect the health and safety of our workers, contractors and the public, to protect the environment, and to limit the financial impact of the event.  In the case of a longer term extreme precipitation event or drought, Vermilion has implemented water management programs to reduce our reliance on fresh water sources.
Rising Sea Levels - Physical<br><br> <br>- Long-term<br><br> <br>Vermilion owns and operates assets in the Netherlands.<br> We have identified and assessed the potential risk associated with rising sea levels here, as it has the potential to physically<br> impact our operations due to issues such as flooding, transportation difficulties and supply chain interruptions. Rising sea levels<br> also pose a threat related to the salinization of groundwater. Vermilion reviews the potential impact of rising sea levels annually as part of our Enterprise Risk Matrix.  We estimate the potential total financial implication to be $153.0MM, before mitigation measures, in our Netherland operations. There is no measure available to protect Vermilion's Netherlands assets in the event that water levels rise to a level that would impact facilities below sea level.  Salinization of the groundwater regime would impact the entire region; similarly, no measures are currently available to protect against this.  Based on Vermilion's assessment of the probability of these events occurring over the next 5 years being less than 0.5%, we have accepted this level of risk exposure.

Increased Severity of Extreme Weather Events such as Cyclones and Floods - Physical<br><br> <br>- Medium-term<br><br> <br>Vermilion owns and operates an offshore platform<br> in the Wandoo field off northwestern Australia, and co-owns and operates the Corrib project off the Irish coast. Extreme weather<br> events have the potential to directly impact our offshore operations resulting in down time or damage to infrastructure, and can<br> impact the downstream handling capacity of our partners, resulting in a limitation to the distribution and sale of our products. Based on the value of the Wandoo Platform and a 1-in-2000 year cyclonic event, the financial implications associated with damage due to a severe weather event is estimated at $179.0MM (total impact before insurance).  The third-party costs associated with potential damages from extreme weather events are not tracked by Vermilion. Vermilion maintains insurance as a mitigative measure to reduce the financial impact associated with damage to our assets due to<br><br>severe weather events.  We also have protocols for monitoring and preparing for cyclones, and have  invested in our emergency response capabilities in the event of damage to our assets as a result of a severe weather event.  Operational changes are made as required to ensure (in order of priority) worker health and safety, protection of the environment, and protection of Vermilion’s assets.
Changing Customer Behaviour - Market; Reputational<br><br> <br>- Long-term<br><br> <br>As consumers and governments become more<br> socially aware of the sources of their energy, negative perceptions of organizations or production methods have the potential<br> to impact energy sector companies through company valuations, restricted licensing and permitting, and stakeholder<br> opposition. The<br> impact of decreased consumer confidence and perception is not calculable.  On a per share basis, the market impact<br> of the loss of $1 per share would be approximately $156.0MM. The direct cost of Vermilion's operating excellence<br> and risk management cannot be quantified on a single risk basis. Vermilion is positioned within the evolving energy transition, with an unwavering commitment to our priorities of health and safety, environmental protection, and economic prosperity.  We believe that those commitments, and our contributions to the UN SDGs constitute qualitative advantages that set us apart from our competitors.  Sustainable practices are ingrained into the way we operate, and we will continue to focus on our Integrated Sustainability strategic objective.  We believe this advantage attracts investors to Vermilion and will continue to give Vermilion a competitive advantage in the future.
Opportunity: Participation in Carbon Market - Financial<br><br> <br>- Medium-term<br><br> <br>The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)<br> allows for the generation and movement of certified carbon credits from emissions-saving projects around the world. With the revisions<br> pending in Phase 4, it is anticipated that there will be an active market and consumers for the offset credits generated at some<br> of our sustainability initiatives around the world, likely providing opportunities for Vermilion to generate certified energy reduction<br> and offset credits. Vermilion is not accounting for any short term financial impact.  It is estimated that following the change to the EU ETS in Phase 4, the carbon price will stabilize at between approximately €15 and €30 per tCO2e.  The financial impact to Vermilion annually is estimated to be up to $1.0MM. We are currently evaluating the benefit that certified offset credits from various emission reduction projects across our operations<br><br>could provide.  Examples of projects with this potential include our Tomato Greenhouse Cogeneration project in France, our partnerships for geothermal applications in residential neighborhoods in France, and our developing geothermal projects in the Netherlands.  Vermilion's project assessment framework is applied to each identified opportunity, including considerations associated with emissions offset.
Opportunity: Development of New Products and Services through R&D and Innovation - Products<br><br> <br>- Short-term<br><br> <br>As Vermilion has developed our emissions quantification<br> programs across the globe, we have developed more robust methods for sharing of technologies and techniques from across our operations,<br> both internally and externally. Our increased focus on tracking emissions has supported the assessment of opportunities across<br> business units and sharing of technical expertise. As this opportunity is in the early stage of assessment, it is difficult to quantify the financial impact, but it is estimated at up to $2.0MM per year.  Potential also exists for significant cost adjustments, as assets slated for abandonment could be repurposed to generate geothermal energy. We have technical experts who provide input into potential geothermal projects as they are identified.  These teams are supported by corporate sustainability staff in connecting internal and external stakeholders.  These teams have responsibilities specific to geothermal opportunities as these projects move through their preliminary stages.  To further support identification of opportunities, and engagement with stakeholders, Vermilion has appointed sustainability leads in all our business units.
Opportunity: Shift in Consumer Preferences - Products, Reputational<br><br> <br>- Long-term<br><br> <br>Under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act<br> and based on commitments made by the Canadian and Alberta governments relating to COP21, there is a commitment to reduce emissions<br> for coal-fired power generation. Based on this and with a number of power generating facilities in Alberta nearing the end of their<br> service life, the demand for natural gas is likely to increase due to increased use of combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power<br> generation. Alberta has also committed to significantly reducing its demand for coal for power generation by 2050. The short term impact on gas pricing is anticipated to be low, increasing to medium in the mid to long term.  Once the regulations are implemented, there is a potential for an increase in the demand and pricing for natural gas, from which Vermilion would benefit.  Based on current estimates, an increase in gas price of $1 per mcf would result in a positive impact to sales of approximately $35.0MM. As we move further into the energy transition, we foresee natural gas playing an impactful role as a less carbon intense fuel than other options (i.e. coal).  Vermilion continues to focus on the identification of resources and assets where we have the opportunity to apply our industry leading expertise to optimize production while reducing emissions.  An example of our strategy to realize this opportunity is our asset base in Alberta, which currently includes a large liquids rich gas play.  Vermilion's marketing team is also actively pursuing options for our natural gas production that will enable Vermilion to achieve the best netbacks on production.
Opportunity: Ability to Diversify Business Activities - Products<br><br> <br>- Long-term<br><br> <br>Vermilion maintains a diverse, stable global portfolio<br> of oil and gas assets. Our strong record of safe and socially conscious development of energy resources has provided opportunities<br> to access and develop these resources. We see our commitment to sustainability as core to our business, which has provided important<br> organizational focus on emissions quantification and management. As consumers become more aware of and involved in the selection<br> of their energy sources and associated carbon intensity, we believe that Vermilion will continue to be a top quartile choice, providing<br> us with opportunities not available to peer organizations. The financial impact of changing consumer preferences is difficult to quantify.  We foresee opportunities in two distinct areas: first, in consumers selecting premium energy products (top quartile, low carbon intensity), with these products demanding a higher price than other energy sources on the market.  Currently we estimate the potential impact of premium pricing in the long term to be $1-5 per boe ($24.8MM based on $1 per boe).  The second opportunity, which we are already receiving benefit from, is access to more stringent markets, supported by our environmental and sustainability performance, such as our entry into German, Hungarian and Croatian oil and gas operations in the last several years. Vermilion made the organizational change to established Integrated Sustainability as one of our strategic objectives in 2015.  This provided<br><br>important organizational focus on matters such as environmental performance, including climate change.  Our strategy is to continue to support Integrated Sustainability, with personnel who are experts in their field, as well as financially supporting programs and projects that reduce emissions while optimizing production.  An example of this is the addition of personnel who have specific responsibilities associated with sustainability in our business units, including study and feasibility assessment of green energy generation.

Opportunity: Shift Toward Decentralized Energy Generation - Products, Reputational<br><br> <br>- Long-term<br><br> <br>The carbon intensity of energy used around the<br> world has a direct relationship to where the energy product was generated. Vermilion’s business unit structure supports production<br> and distribution of energy products into local markets. This strategy results in the significant reduction of the carbon footprint<br> of our energy when compared to non-local sources. On an operating netback (sales) basis, based on current estimates, the financial premium of our non-Canadian assets was $340.8MM.  The potential future advantage is anticipated to increase as we expand production in markets outside North America and provide sources of energy to local markets.  The costs associated with adjustment of our organizational structure are built into our costs across the company. Vermilion continues to assess where we can access local markets for our production, while exploring regions to expand our operations.  The actions taken in the past several years to realize this opportunity include alterations to our structure, our strategic objectives and our operational development plans to support Vermilion as a distributed energy provider, and exploration and development programs in regions with relatively low energy production as compared to consumption (i.e. Hungary).

Corporate Governance

We are committed to a high standard of corporate governance practices, a dedication that begins at the Board level and extends throughout the Company. We believe good corporate governance is in the best interest of our shareholders, and that successful companies are those that deliver growth and a competitive return along with a commitment to the environment, to the communities where they operate, and to their employees.

We comply with the objectives and guidelines relating to corporate governance adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). In addition, the Board monitors and considers the implementation of corporate governance standards proposed by various regulatory and non-regulatory authorities in Canada. A discussion of corporate governance policies is included each year in our proxy materials for our annual general meeting of shareholders, copies of which are available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

As a Canadian reporting issuer with securities listed on the TSX and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), Vermilion is required to comply with all applicable Canadian requirements adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators and the TSX, and applicable rules for foreign private issuers adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that give effect to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Our corporate governance practices also incorporate many “best practices” derived from those required to be followed by US domestic companies under the NYSE listing standards. We are required by Section 303A.11 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual to identify any significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those required to be followed by US domestic companies under NYSE listing standards. We believe that there are no such significant differences in our corporate governance practices, except as follows:

Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans. Section 303A.8 of the NYSE Listed Company<br>Manual requires shareholder approval of all “equity compensation plans” and material revisions to those plans. The<br>definition of “equity compensation plans” covers plans that provide for the delivery of newly issued securities, and<br>also plans which rely on securities reacquired on the market by the issuing company for the purpose of redistribution to employees<br>and directors. The TSX rules provide that equity compensation plans and material amendments thereto require shareholder approval<br>only if they involve newly issued securities and the amendments are not otherwise addressed in the plan’s amendment procedures.<br>In addition, the TSX rules require that every three years after institution, all unallocated options, rights or other entitlements<br>under equity compensation plans which do not have a fixed maximum aggregate of securities issuable must be approved by shareholders.<br>Vermilion follows the TSX rules with respect to shareholder approval of equity compensation plans and material revisions to those<br>plans.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our officers have established and maintained disclosure controls and procedures and evaluated the effectiveness of these controls in conjunction with our filings.

As of December 31, 2019, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded and certified that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


This MD&A includes references to certain financial measures which do not have standardized meanings and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These financial measures include fund flows from operations, a measure of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” (please see Segmented Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and net debt, a measure of capital in accordance with IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (please see Capital Disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

In addition, this MD&A includes financial measures which are not specified, defined, or determined under IFRS and are therefore considered non-GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These non-GAAP financial measures include:

**Acquisitions:**The sum of acquisitions from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Vermilion common shares issued as consideration, the estimated value of contingent consideration, the amount of acquiree's outstanding long-term debt assumed plus or net of acquired working capital deficit or surplus. We believe that including these components provides a useful measure of the economic investment associated with our acquisition activity.

Capitalexpenditures: The sum of drilling and development and exploration and evaluation from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We consider capital expenditures to be a useful measure of our investment in our existing asset base. Capital expenditures are also referred to as E&D capital.

Cash dividendsper share: Represents cash dividends declared per share and is a useful measure of the dividends a common shareholder was entitled to during the period.

**Covenants:**The financial covenants on our revolving credit facility contain non-GAAP measures. The definitions for these financial covenants are included in Financial Position Review.

Dilutedshares outstanding: The sum of shares outstanding at the period end plus outstanding awards under the VIP, based on current estimates of future performance factors and forfeiture rates.

Free cashflow: Represents fund flows from operations in excess of capital expenditures.  We use free cash flow to determine the funding available for investing and financing activities, including payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt, reallocation to existing business units, and deployment into new ventures. We also assess free cash flow as a percentage of fund flows from operations, which is a measure of the percentage of fund flows from operations that is retained for incremental investing and financing activities.

Fund flowsfrom operations per basic and diluted share: Management assesses fund flows from operations on a per share basis as we believe this provides a measure of our operating performance after taking into account the issuance and potential future issuance of Vermilion common shares. Fund flows from operations per basic share is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations by the basic weighted average shares outstanding as defined under IFRS. Fund flows from operations per diluted share is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations by the sum of basic weighted average shares outstanding and incremental shares issuable under the equity based compensation plans as determined using the treasury stock method.

**Net dividends:**We define net dividends as dividends declared less proceeds received for the issuance of shares pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Management monitors net dividends and net dividends as a percentage of fund flows from operations to assess our ability to pay dividends.

Operatingnetback: Sales less royalties, operating expense, transportation costs, PRRT, and realized hedging gains and losses presented on a per unit basis. Management assesses operating netback as a measure of the profitability and efficiency of our field operations. In contrast, fund flows from operations netback also includes general and administration expense, corporate income taxes, and interest. Fund flows from operations netback is used by management to assess the profitability of our business units and Vermilion as a whole.

**Payout:**We define payout as net dividends plus drilling and development costs, exploration and evaluation costs, and asset retirement obligations settled. Management uses payout and payout as a percentage of fund flows from operations (also referred to as the payoutor sustainability ratio) to assess the amount of cash distributed back to shareholders and re-invested in the business for maintaining production and organic growth.

Returnon capital employed (ROCE): ROCE is a measure that we use to analyze our profitability and the efficiency of our capital allocation process. ROCE is calculated by dividing net earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") by average capital employed over the preceding twelve months. Capital employed is calculated as total assets less current liabilities while average capital employed is calculated using the balance sheets at the beginning and end of the twelve-month period.

Management's Report to Shareholders

Management's Responsibility for Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Vermilion Energy Inc. are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors of Vermilion Energy Inc. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies detailed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Where necessary, management has made informed judgments and estimates of transactions that were not yet completed at the balance sheet date. Financial information throughout the Annual Report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

Management ensures the integrity of the consolidated financial statements by maintaining high-quality systems of internal control. Procedures and policies are designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are properly recorded, and that the financial records are reliable for preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Deloitte LLP, Vermilion’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, have conducted an audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and have provided their report.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibility for financial reporting and internal control. The Board carries out this responsibility principally through the Audit Committee, which is appointed by the Board and is comprised entirely of independent Directors. The Committee meets periodically with management and Deloitte LLP to satisfy itself that each party is properly discharging its responsibilities and to review the consolidated financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm before they are presented to the Board of Directors.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principle financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in “InternalControl - Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has assessed the effectiveness of Vermilion’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as defined in Canada by National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings. Management concluded that Vermilion’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.

The effectiveness of Vermilion’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 has been audited by Deloitte LLP, the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Vermilion Energy Inc.:

Opinionon Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Vermilion Energy Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, of the Company and our report dated March 5, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basisfor Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report to Shareholders. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definitionand Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Vermilion Energy Inc.:

Opinionon the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vermilion Energy Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of net earnings and comprehensive (loss) income, consolidated statements of cash flows, and consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in InternalControl - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 5, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basisfor Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CriticalAudit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

DeferredTaxes - Refer to Notes 2 and 11 to the Financial Statements

CriticalAudit Matter Description

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted or substantively enacted statutory tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax assets are reduced to the amounts expected to be realized based on forecasts of future taxable profits, specifically forecasts of future revenue (future commodity price forecasts and estimates of reserves). The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset for the Canada and Ireland segments primarily arising from past taxable losses in these jurisdictions.

In order to determine whether it is probable that the deferred income tax assets in the Canada and Ireland segments will be realized, management makes assumptions related to the forecasts of future taxable income, specifically forecasts of future revenue (future commodity price forecasts and estimates of reserves). The Company’s management engages an expert, an independent engineering firm (“management’s expert”), to determine the estimates of reserves. As such, auditing the probability of the deferred income tax assets being realized and management’s future commodity price forecasts and estimates of reserves involved a high degree of auditor judgement as the estimations made by management contain significant measurement uncertainty. This resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, which included the need to involve specialists.

Descriptionof equity reserves

Shareholders’capital

Represents the recognized amount for common shares when issued, net of equity issuance costs and deferred taxes.

Contributedsurplus

Represents the recognized value of unvested equity based awards that will be settled in shares. Once vested, the value of the awards are transferred to shareholders’ capital.

Accumulatedother comprehensive income

Represents currency translation adjustments and changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments in designated hedging relationships.

Currency translation adjustments result from translating the balance sheets of subsidiaries with a foreign functional currency to Canadian dollars at period-end rates. These amounts may be reclassified to net earnings if there is a disposal or partial disposal of a subsidiary.

The effective portion of the change in fair value related to cash flow and net investment hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax and reclassified to the consolidated statement of net earnings in the same period in which the transaction associated with the hedged item occurs. Upon discontinuation of hedge accounting, the reserve amounts will be reclassified to net earnings.

Deficit

Represents the cumulative net earnings less distributed earnings of Vermilion Energy Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

tabular amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts

1. Basis of presentation

Vermilion Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Vermilion”) are engaged in the business of petroleum and natural gas exploration, development, acquisition, and production.

Vermilion was incorporated in Canada and the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is located at 3500, 520, 3rd Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by Vermilion’s Board of Directors on March 5, 2020.

2. Significant accounting policies

Accountingframework

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Principlesof consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vermilion Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries.  Vermilion’s subsidiaries include entities in each of the jurisdictions that Vermilion operates as described in Note 4 (Segmented information) including: Canada, France, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Australia, the United States, and Central and Eastern Europe (Hungary, Slovakia, and Croatia).  Vermilion Energy Inc. directly or indirectly through holding companies owns all of the voting securities of each material subsidiary. Transactions between Vermilion Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Vermilion accounts for joint operations by recognizing the Company’s share of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses.

Explorationand evaluation assets

Vermilion classifies costs as exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets when they relate to exploring and evaluating an area for which the Company has the license or right to explore and extract resources. E&E costs may include: geological and geophysical costs; land and license acquisition costs; and costs for the drilling, completion, and testing of exploration wells.

E&E costs are reclassified to capital assets if the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the area can be determined. E&E assets are assessed for impairment prior to any reclassification. The technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the reserves is considered to be determinable when proved and probable reserves are identified.

Costs incurred prior to the acquisition of the legal rights to explore an area are expensed as incurred. If reserves are not found within the license area or the area is abandoned, the related E&E costs are depreciated over a period not greater than five years. If an exploration license expires prior to the commencement of exploration activities, the cost of the exploration license is written off through depreciation in the year of expiration.

Capitalassets

Vermilion recognizes capital assets at cost less accumulated depletion, depreciation, and impairment losses. Costs include directly attributable costs incurred for the drilling, completion, and tie-in of wells and the construction of production and processing facilities.

When components of capital assets are replaced, disposed of, or no longer in use, they are derecognized. Gains and losses on disposal of capital assets are determined by comparing the proceeds of disposal compared to the carrying amount.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 11 ■  2019 Annual Report

Depletionand depreciation

Capital assets are grouped into depletion units, which are groups of assets within a specific production area that have similar economic lives. Depletion units represent the lowest level of disaggregation for which costs are accumulated for the purposes of calculating depletion and depreciation.

The net carrying value of each depletion unit is depleted using the unit of production method by reference to the ratio of production in the period to the total proved and probable reserves, taking into account the future development costs necessary to bring the applicable reserves into production.

For the purposes of the depletion calculations, oil and gas reserves are converted to a common unit of measure on the basis of their relative energy content based on a conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent.

Impairmentof capital assets and exploration and evaluation assets

Depletion units are aggregated into cash generating units (“CGUs”) for impairment testing. CGUs are the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of cash inflows of other groups of assets. CGUs are reviewed for indicators of potential impairment at each reporting date.

E&E assets are tested for impairment when reclassified to capital assets or when indicators of potential impairment are identified. E&E assets are reviewed for indicators of potential impairment at each reporting date. If indicators of potential impairment are identified, E&E assets are tested for impairment as part of the CGU attributable to the jurisdiction in which the exploration area resides.

If an indicator of potential impairment exists, the CGU’s carrying value is compared to its recoverable amount. A CGU’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value-in-use. If the carrying amount of a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the CGU to its recoverable amount.

If an impairment loss has been recognized in a prior period, an assessment is performed at each reporting date to determine if there are indicators that the circumstances which led to the impairment loss have reversed. If the change in circumstances results in the recoverable amount being higher than the carrying value after the impairment loss, then the impairment loss (net of depletion that would otherwise have been recorded) is reversed.

Leaseobligations and right-of-use assets

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the lease commencement date, a lease obligation is recognized at the present value of future lease payments, typically using the applicable incremental borrowing rate. A corresponding right-of-use asset is recognized at the amount of the lease obligation, adjusted for lease incentives received and initial direct costs. Vermilion does not recognize leases for short-term leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, or leases for low-value assets.

Payments are applied against the lease obligation and interest expense is recognized on the lease obligations using the effective interest rate method. Depreciation is recognized on the right-of-use asset over the lease term.

Cashand cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with financial institutions and guaranteed investment certificates.

Crudeoil inventory

Crude oil inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of crude oil inventory produced includes related operating expense, royalties, and depletion determined on a weighted-average basis.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 12 ■  2019 Annual Report

Assetretirement obligations

Vermilion recognizes a provision for asset retirement obligations when an event occurs giving rise to an obligation of uncertain timing or amount. Asset retirement obligations are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as a long-term liability with a corresponding increase to E&E or capital assets.

Asset retirement obligations reflect the present value of estimated future settlement costs. The discount rate used to calculate the present value is specific to the jurisdiction the obligation relates to and is reflective of current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to the liabilities that have not been reflected in the cash flow estimates.

Asset retirement obligations are remeasured at each reporting period to reflect changes in market rates and estimated future settlement costs. Asset retirement obligations are increased each reporting period to reflect the passage of time with a corresponding charge to accretion expense.

Revenuerecognition

Revenue associated with the sale of crude oil and condensate, natural gas, and natural gas liquids is measured based on the consideration specified in contracts with customers.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when or as Vermilion satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of crude oil and condensate, natural gas, or natural gas liquids to a customer at contractually specified transfer points.  This transfer coincides with title passing to the customer and the customer taking physical possession of the commodity.  Vermilion principally satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time and the amounts of revenue recognized relating to performance obligations satisfied over time are not significant.

Vermilion invoices customers for delivered products monthly and payment occurs shortly thereafter. Vermilion does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of control of the commodity to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a result, Vermilion does not adjust its revenue transactions to reflect significant financing components.

Financialinstruments

On initial recognition, financial instruments are measured at fair value. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the classification of the financial instrument as described below:

· Fair<br> value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"): Financial instruments under this classification<br> include cash and cash equivalents and derivative assets and liabilities.
· Fair<br> value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"): Financial instruments<br> under this classification include derivative assets and liabilities where hedge accounting<br> is applied.
--- ---
· Amortized<br> cost: Financial instruments under this classification include accounts receivable, accounts<br> payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, lease obligations, and long-term<br> debt.
--- ---

Accounts receivable are measured net of a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit loss.

Hedgeaccounting

Hedge accounting is applied to financial instruments designated as hedging instruments in qualifying hedging relationships. Qualifying hedge relationships may include cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, and hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The purpose of hedge accounting is to represent the effect of Vermilion's risk management activities to manage exposures arising from specific risks that affect net earnings such as foreign currency risk.

In order to apply hedge accounting, the eligible hedging instrument must be highly effective in offsetting the exposure to changes in the eligible hedged item. This effectiveness is assessed at inception and at the end of each reporting period thereafter. At inception, formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship, risk management objective and strategy is required for undertaking the hedge.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 13 ■  2019 Annual Report

For cash flow and net investment hedges, gains and losses on the hedging instrument are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings in the same period in which the transaction associated with the hedged item occurs. Where the hedging instrument is a derivative instrument, a derivative asset or liability is recognized on the balance sheet at fair value (included in "Derivative instruments") with the effective portion of the gain or loss recorded to other comprehensive income. Any gain or loss associated with the ineffective portion of the hedging relationship is recognized in the consolidated statement of net earnings as other income or expense.

If a hedging relationship no longer qualifies for hedge accounting, any gain or loss resulting from the discontinuation of hedge accounting is deferred in other comprehensive income until the forecasted transaction date. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, any gain or loss resulting from the discontinuation of hedge accounting is immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of net earnings.

Equitybased compensation

Equity based compensation expense results from equity-settled awards issued under Vermilion’s long-term share-based compensation plans as well as the grant date fair value of Vermilion common shares issued under the Company’s bonus and employee share savings plans.

Vermilion's long-term share-based compensation plans consist of the Vermilion Incentive Plan (“VIP”), the "Five-Year Compensation Arrangement", and the Deferred Share Unit Plan ("DSU"). Equity-settled awards issued under the VIP vest over a period of one to three years, awards issued under the Five-Year Compensation Arrangement vest in the fifth year following the grant date, and awards issued under the DSU vest immediately upon granting. Awards issued under the VIP and Five-Year Compensation Arrangement plans are adjusted upon vesting by a performance factor determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Equity based compensation expense for equity-settled plans is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding adjustment to contributed surplus. The expense recognized is based on the grant date fair value of the awards, an estimate of the performance factor that will be achieved (if applicable), and an estimate of forfeiture rates based on historical vesting data. Dividends notionally accrue to the VIP and Five-Year Compensation Arrangement and are excluded in the determination of grant date fair values. When the awards are converted to Vermilion common shares, the amount recognized in contributed surplus is reclassified to shareholders’ capital.

The grant date fair value of awards or Vermilion common shares issued is determined as the closing price of Vermilion’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the grant date.

Pershare amounts

Basic net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding is the sum of the basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding and (to the extent inclusion reduces diluted net earnings per share) the number of shares issuable for equity-settled awards determined using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes that the unrecognized equity based compensation expense are deemed proceeds used to repurchase Vermilion common shares at the average market price during the period.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 14 ■  2019 Annual Report

Foreigncurrency translation

Vermilion Energy Inc.’s functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. Vermilion has subsidiaries that transact and operate in countries other than Canada and have functional currencies other than the Canadian dollar.

Foreign currency translation includes the translation of foreign currency transactions and the translation of foreign operations.

Foreign currency transaction translation occurs when translating transactions and balances in foreign currencies to the applicable functional currency of Vermilion Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recorded as foreign exchange gains or losses in the statement of net earnings. Foreign currency transaction translation occurs as follows:

· Income<br> and expenses are translated at the prevailing rates on the date of the transaction.
· Non-monetary<br> assets or liabilities are carried at the prevailing rates on the date of the transaction.
--- ---
· Monetary<br> items, including intercompany loans that are not deemed to represent net investments<br> in a foreign subsidiary, are translated at the prevailing rates at the balance sheet<br> date.
--- ---

Foreign operation translation occurs when translating the financial statements of non-Canadian functional currency subsidiaries to the Canadian dollar and when translating intercompany loans that are deemed to represent net investments in a foreign subsidiary. Gains and losses from foreign operation translations are recorded as currency translation adjustments. Foreign operation translation occurs as follows:

· Income<br> and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period.
· Assets<br> and liabilities are translated at the prevailing rates on the balance sheet date.
--- ---

Incometaxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the balance sheet method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated effect of any temporary differences between the amounts recognized on Vermilion’s consolidated balance sheet and the respective tax basis. This calculation uses enacted or substantively enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in the period the related legislation is substantively enacted.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Businesscombinations

Acquisitions of corporations or groups of assets are accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method if the acquired assets constitute a business. Under the acquisition method, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination (with the exception of deferred tax assets and liabilities) are measured at their fair value. Deferred tax assets or liabilities arising from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured in accordance with the policies described in "Income taxes" above.

If applicable, the excess or deficiency of the fair value of net assets acquired compared to consideration paid is recognized as a gain on business combination or as goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet. Acquisition-related costs incurred to effect a business combination are expensed in the period incurred.

As part of the assessment to determine if the acquisition constitutes a business, Vermilion may elect to apply the concentration test on a transaction by transaction basis. The test is met if substantially all of the fair value related to the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset (or group of similar assets) resulting in the acquisition not being deemed a business and recorded as an asset acquisition.

Segmentedinformation

Vermilion has a decentralized business unit structure designed to manage assets in each country the Company operates. Each of Vermilion's operating segments derives its revenues solely from the production and sale of petroleum and natural gas.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 15 ■  2019 Annual Report

Vermilion’s Corporate segment aggregates costs incurred at the Company’s Corporate head office located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada as well as costs incurred relating to Vermilion’s exploration and production activities in Hungary, Slovakia, and Croatia (Central and Eastern Europe). These operating segments have similar economic characteristics as they do not currently generate material revenue.

Vermilion’s chief operating decision maker regularly reviews fund flows from operations generated by each of Vermilion’s operating segments. Fund flows from operations is a measure of profit or loss that provides the chief operating decision maker with the ability to assess the profitability of each operating segment and, correspondingly, the ability of each operating segment to fund its share of dividends, asset retirement obligations, and capital investments.

Managementjudgments and estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Key areas where management has made judgments, estimates, and assumptions are described below.

The measurement of the fair value of capital assets acquired in a business combination and the determination of the recoverable amount of cash generating units:

· Calculating<br> the fair value of capital assets acquired in a business combination and the recoverable<br> amount of cash generating units (in the assessment of impairments or reversals of previous<br> impairments if indicators of impairment or impairment reversal are identified) are based<br> on estimated future commodity prices, discount rates and estimated reserves and resources.<br> Reserve and resource estimates are based on: engineering data, estimated future commodity<br> prices, expected future rates of production, and assumptions regarding the timing and<br> amount of future expenditures. Changes in these estimates and assumptions can directly<br> impact the calculated fair value of capital assets acquired (and thus the resulting goodwill<br> or gain on business combination) and the recoverable amount of a CGU (and thus the resulting<br> impairment loss or recovery).
· In<br> addition, the recoverable amount of a CGU is impacted by the composition of CGUs, which<br> are subject to management’s judgment of the lowest level at which there are identifiable<br> cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other groups of assets.<br> The factors used by Vermilion to determine CGUs vary by jurisdiction due to their unique<br> operating and geographic conditions. In general, Vermilion will assess the following<br> factors: geographic proximity of the assets within a group to one another, geographic<br> proximity of the group of assets to other groups of assets, homogeneity of the production<br> from the group of assets and the sharing of infrastructure used to process and/or transport<br> production. Changes in these judgments can directly impact the calculated recoverable<br> amount of a CGU (and thus the resulting impairment loss or recovery).
--- ---

The measurement of the carrying value of asset retirement obligations on the balance sheet, including the fair value and subsequent carrying value of asset retirement obligations assumed in a business combination:

· Asset<br> retirement obligations are based on judgments regarding regulatory requirements, estimates<br> of future costs, assumptions on the expected timing of expenditures, and estimates of<br> the underlying risk inherent to the obligation. The carrying balance of asset retirement<br> obligations and accretion expense may differ due to changes in: laws and regulations,<br> technology, the expected timing of expenditures, and market conditions affecting the<br> discount rate applied.

The recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities:

· Tax<br> interpretations, regulations, and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which Vermilion<br> and its subsidiaries operate are subject to change and interpretation. Changes in laws<br> and interpretations can affect the timing of the reversal of temporary tax differences,<br> the tax rates in effect when such differences reverse and Vermilion’s ability to<br> use tax losses and other tax pools in the future. The Company’s income tax filings<br> are subject to audit by taxation authorities in numerous jurisdictions and the results<br> of such audits may increase or decrease the tax liability. The determination of tax amounts<br> recognized in the consolidated financial statements are based on management’s assessment<br> of the tax positions, which includes consideration of their technical merits, communications<br> with tax authorities and management’s view of the most likely outcome.
· The<br> extent to which deferred tax assets are recognized are based on estimates of future profitability.<br> These estimates are based on estimated future commodity prices and estimates of reserves.<br> Judgments, estimates, and assumptions inherent in reserve estimates are described above.
--- ---
Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 16 ■  2019 Annual Report

The measurement of lease obligations and corresponding right-of-use assets:

· The<br> measurement of lease obligations are subject to management's judgments of the applicable<br> incremental borrowing rate and the expected lease term. The carrying balance of the right-of-use<br> assets, lease obligations, and the resulting interest and depletion and depreciation<br> expense, may differ due to changes in the market conditions and expected lease terms.<br> Applicable incremental borrowing rates are based on judgments of the economic environment,<br> term, currency, and the underlying risk inherent to the asset. Lease terms are based<br> on assumptions regarding cancellation and extension terms that allow for operational<br> flexibility based on future market conditions.
3. Changes in accounting pronouncements
---

Definitionof a Business - Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"

Vermilion elected to early adopt the amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" effective January 1, 2019, which will be applied prospectively to acquisitions that occur on or after January 1, 2019. The amendments introduce an optional concentration test, narrow the definitions of a business and outputs, and clarify that an acquired set of activities and assets must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. These amendments did not result in changes to Vermilion's accounting policies for applying the acquisition method.

PrivateProducer in Southeast Saskatchewan and Southwest Manitoba

On February 15, 2018, Vermilion acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of a private producer with assets in southeast Saskatchewan and southwest Manitoba. The acquisition comprised of light oil producing fields near Vermilion’s existing operations in southeast Saskatchewan. The acquisition complements Vermilion’s existing southeast Saskatchewan operations and aligns with the Company's sustainable growth-and-income model. The acquisition was funded through Vermilion’s revolving credit facility.

The total consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition are detailed in the table below:

Consideration
Cash<br> paid to vendor 53,288
Total consideration 53,288

Acquired<br> working capital 1,577
Long-term<br> debt (38,300 )
Asset<br> retirement obligations (4,452 )
Net assets acquired 53,288

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the acquisition contributed revenues of $18.7 million and net earnings of $6.7 million. Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018, revenues would have increased by $2.9 million and net earnings would have increased by $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

SpartanEnergy Corp.

On May 28, 2018, Vermilion acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Spartan Energy Corp., a publicly traded oil and gas producer with light oil producing properties in southeast Saskatchewan as well as other areas in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba. The acquisition increased Vermilion’s position in southeast Saskatchewan and aligned with the Company's sustainable growth-and-income model.

Consideration consisted of the issuance of 27.9 million Vermilion common shares valued at approximately $1.2 billion (based on the closing price per Vermilion common share of $44.30 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on May 28, 2018). Acquisition-related costs of $1.3 million were incurred in the year ended December 31, 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the acquisition contributed revenues of $242.1 million and net earnings of $45.1 million. Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018, revenues would have increased by $182.4 million and net earnings would have increased by $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Assetsin Wyoming

In August 2018, Vermilion acquired oil and gas producing assets and mineral leasehold land from a private oil company for total cash consideration of $189.0 million. The assets are located in Campbell County, Wyoming in the Powder River Basin, approximately 65 kilometres northwest of Vermilion’s existing operations. The acquired assets complement Vermilion's existing Powder River operations and align with the Company's sustainable growth-and-income model. The acquisition was funded through Vermilion’s revolving credit facility.

The total consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition are detailed in the table below:

Consideration
Cash<br> paid to vendor 189,014
Total consideration 189,014
Allocation of consideration
Capital<br> assets 284,333
Deferred<br> tax liability (19,019 )
Asset<br> retirement obligations (4,821 )

Net assets acquired 257,842
Gain<br> on business combination (68,828 )
Total net assets acquired, net of gain on business combination 189,014

The gain on the business combination primarily resulted from the recognition of additional reserve value when the acquisition closed compared to the estimated value when Vermilion entered into the purchase and sale agreement and the acquisition price was determined.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the acquisition contributed revenues of $11.6 million and net earnings of $0.3 million. Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018, revenues would have increased by $11.1 million and net earnings would have decreased by $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

ShellE&P Ireland Limited

In December 2018, Vermilion acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Shell E&P Ireland Limited, along with an incremental 1.5% working interest in the Corrib Natural Gas Project ("Corrib") in Ireland from Nephin Energy Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. The acquisition increased Vermilion's total ownership in Corrib to 20% and aligns with the Company's sustainable growth-and-income model. In addition to this transaction, Vermilion assumed operatorship of Corrib.

The total consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the date of the acquisition are detailed in the table below:

($M) Consideration
Cash<br> paid to vendor 40,805
Cash acquired (82,116 )

Asset retirement obligations (1,565 )
Net assets acquired 18,359
Gain<br> on business combination (59,380 )
Total net assets acquired, net of gain on business combination (41,021 )

The fair value of the contingent consideration obligation is estimated to be approximately $0.3 million based on estimated future commodity prices and estimated reserves. Maximum contingent payments are €5.8 million (approximately $9.1 million) through 2025.

The gain on the business combination primarily resulted from increases in working capital and the fair value of capital assets from when the purchase and sale agreement was entered into in July 2017 and when the acquisition closed in December 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the acquisition contributed revenues of $1.3 million and net earnings of $0.4 million. Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018, revenues would have increased by $15.2 million and net earnings would have increased by $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Minoracquisitions

Vermilion completed a number of minor acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2018 for total cash consideration of $56.0 million, in which $147.4 million of capital assets, $28.6 million of exploration and evaluation assets, and $104.0 million of asset retirement obligations were recognized.

Total 22,676 115,608 19,358 133,946

2019impairment

As a result of declining natural gas price forecasts in Ireland during the year ended December 31, 2019 an indication of impairment was identified in the Ireland CGU. This resulted in the performance of an impairment test whereby the Company determined that the carrying amount exceeded its recoverable amount. A non-cash impairment charge of $46.1 million was recorded in the consolidated statement of net earnings.

The recoverable amount was determined using fair value less costs to sell, which considered future after-tax cash flows from proved plus probable reserves using forecasted price and cost estimates and an after-tax discount rate of 9.0%.

The following price estimates as issued by Sproule and effective January 1, 2020 were applied:

NBP (€/mmbtu) 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029
Sproule 5.58 5.51 5.54 5.65 5.77 5.88 6.00 6.12 6.24 6.37

Changes in any of the key judgments, such as a revision in reserves, changes in forecast commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, capital or operating costs would impact the estimated recoverable amount. As at December 31, 2019, a 1% increase in the assumed after-tax discount rate would reduce the estimated recoverable amount by $14.7 million (resulting in a $60.8 million impairment) while a 5% decrease in revenues (due to a decrease in commodity price forecasts or reserve estimates) would reduce the estimated recoverable amount by $28.6 million (resulting in a $74.7 million impairment).

8. Asset retirement obligations
---

The following table reconciles the change in Vermilion’s asset retirement obligations:

2019 2018
Balance at January 1 650,164 517,180
Additional obligations<br> recognized 7,595 211,580
Changes in estimated<br> abandonment timing and costs 39,722 (98,158 )
Obligations settled (19,442 ) (15,765 )
Accretion 32,667 31,219
Changes in discount rates (57,635 ) (6,646 )
Foreign exchange (34,870 ) 10,754
Balance at December 31 618,201 650,164

Vermilion has estimated the asset retirement obligations based on current cost estimates of $1.8 billion (2018 - $1.8 billion).

Current cost estimates are inflated to the estimated time of abandonment using inflation rates of between 0.4% and 2.7% (2018 - between 0.5% and 2.9%), resulting in inflated cost estimates of $2.6 billion (2018 - $2.6 billion). These payments are expected to be made between 2020 and 2073, with the majority of costs occurring between 2030 and 2040 ($0.7 billion), 2048 to 2055 ($0.9 billion), and 2060 and 2073 ($0.7 billion).

Vermilion calculated the present value of the obligations using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, calculated using a credit spread of 5.3% (2018 - 4.0%) added to risk-free rates based on long-term, risk-free government bonds.

The risk-free rates used as inputs to discount the obligations were as follows:

Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018
Canada 1.7 % 2.2 %
France 0.9 % 1.6 %
Netherlands (0.1 )% 0.4 %
Germany 0.3 % 0.9 %
Ireland 0.6 % 1.6 %
Australia 1.6 % 2.6 %
United<br> States 2.4 % 2.7 %
Vermilion Energy Inc. ■  Page 23 ■  2019 Annual Report

A 0.5% increase/decrease in the discount rate applied to asset retirement obligations would decrease/increase asset retirement obligations by approximately $52.7 million. A one-year increase/decrease in the expected timing of abandonment spend would decrease/increase asset retirement obligations by approximately $27.5 million.

--- ---
^(2)^ In<br> Australia, current taxes include both corporate income tax rates and PRRT. Corporate<br> income tax rates were applied at a rate of 30% and PRRT was applied at a rate of 40%.
^(3)^ The<br> applicable tax rates for 2019 were: 32.0% in France, 50.0% in the Netherlands, 31.8%<br> in Germany, 25.0% in Ireland, and 21.0% in the United<br>States (2018: 34.4% in France, 50.0% in the Netherlands, 30.2% in Germany, 25.0% in Ireland, and 21.0% in the United States).
^(4)^ On<br> December 28, 2019, the French Parliament approved the Finance Bill for 2020. The Finance<br> Bill for 2020 provides for a progressive decrease of the French corporate income tax<br> rate for companies with sales below €250 million from 32.0% to 25.8% by 2022. Effective<br> July 1, 2019, Alberta decreased its corporate tax rate from 12% to 11% for 2019 with<br> further 1% rate reductions every year on January 1 until the general corporate tax rate<br> is 8% on January 1, 2022.

At December 31, 2019, Vermilion had $2.5 billion (2018 - $2.6 billion) of unused tax losses of which $1.2 billion (2018 - $1.1 billion) relates to Vermilion's Canada segment and expire between 2025 and 2040. The majority of the remaining unused tax losses relates to Vermilion's Ireland segment and do not expire.

At December 31, 2019, Vermilion derecognized $65.5 million (2018 - recognized $26.9 million) of deferred income assets relating to the aforementioned non-expiring tax loss in Ireland as there is uncertainty as to the Company's ability to fully utilize such losses based on the forecasted commodity prices in effect as at December 31, 2019.

The aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized as at December 31, 2019 is approximately $0.5 billion (2018 – approximately $0.5 billion).


12. Long-term debt

The following table summarizes Vermilion’s outstanding long-term debt:

Senior<br> unsecured notes 385,440 404,001
Long-term debt 1,924,665 1,796,207

The fair value of the revolving credit facility is equal to its carrying value due to the use of short-term borrowing instruments at market rates of interest. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes as at December 31, 2019 was $366.4 million.

Seniorunsecured notes

On March 13, 2017, Vermilion issued US $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes at par. The notes bear interest at a rate of 5.625% per annum, to be paid semi-annually on March 15 and September 15. The notes mature on March 15, 2025. As direct senior unsecured obligations of Vermilion, the notes rank equally with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.

The senior unsecured notes were recognized at amortized cost and include the transaction costs directly related to the issuance.

Vermilion may, at its option, redeem the notes prior to maturity as follows:

Prior<br> to March 15, 2020, Vermilion may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of<br> the senior unsecured notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings by the Company<br> at a redemption price of 105.625% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid<br> interest to the applicable redemption date.
Prior<br> to March 15, 2020, Vermilion may redeem some or all of the senior unsecured notes at<br> a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior unsecured notes, plus an<br> applicable premium and any accrued and unpaid interest.
--- ---
On<br> or after March 15, 2020, Vermilion may redeem some or all of the senior unsecured notes<br> at the redemption prices set forth in the following table plus any accrued and unpaid<br> interest.

Cross currency interest rate swaps

On June 12, 2019, Vermilion entered into a series of cross currency interest rate swaps with a syndicate of banks. Vermilion applied hedge accounting to these derivative instruments. The cross currency interest rate swaps mature March 15, 2025 and include regular cash receipts and payments on March 15 and September 15 of each year. On a net basis, the cross currency interest swaps result in Vermilion receiving US dollar interest and principal amounts equal to the interest and principal payments under the US $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes. In exchange, Vermilion will make interest and principal payments equal to €265.0 million at a rate of 3.275%.

The cross currency interest rate swaps were executed as two separate sets of instruments:

US<br> dollar to Canadian dollar ("USD-to-CAD") cross currency interest rate swaps:<br> Vermilion receives US dollar interest and principal amounts equal to US$300.0 million<br> of debt at 5.625% interest and pays Canadian dollar interest and principal amounts equal<br> to $398.5 million of debt at 5.40% interest.
Canadian<br> dollar to Euro ("CAD-to-EUR") cross currency interest rate swaps: Vermilion<br> receives Canadian dollar interest and principal amounts equal to $398.5 million of debt<br> at 5.40% interest and pays Euro interest and principal amounts equal to €265.0<br> million at a rate of 3.275%.
--- ---

The USD-to-CAD cross currency interest swaps have been designated as the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge to mitigate the risk of the fluctuation of interest and principal cash flows due to changes in foreign currency rates related to the Senior Unsecured Notes described above. The forward element of the swap contract is treated as the excluded component and is initially recognized within other comprehensive income. The excluded component is amortized to net earnings in interest expense on a systematic basis. As the timing and amount of the cash flows received on the USD-to-CAD cross currency interest rate swaps offset the timing and amount of the cash flows paid on the senior unsecured notes, the economic relationship is expected to be highly effective. The change in the value of the hedged item associated with a change in spot foreign exchange rates is initially recognized in other comprehensive income. This change is reclassified from other comprehensive income to net earnings (and recorded as an foreign exchange gain or loss) to offset the associated foreign exchange gain or loss recognized on the senior unsecured notes.

The CAD-to-EUR cross currency interest rate swaps have been designated as the hedging instrument in a net investment hedge to mitigate the effective change in exchange rates on our net investments in Euro denominated foreign subsidiaries. The change in the value of the hedged item associated with a change in spot foreign exchange rates is initially recognized in other comprehensive income. This change is reclassified from other comprehensive income to net earnings (and recorded as a foreign exchange gain or loss) only if the net investment is disposed of by sale. The forward element of the swap contract is treated as the excluded component and is initially recognized within other comprehensive income. The excluded component is amortized to net earnings in interest expense on a systematic basis.

Subsequent to the end of year-end and prior to the consolidated financial statements being authorized for issue on March 5, 2020, Vermilion declared dividends of $72.0 million or $0.23 per share for each of January and February of 2020.

14. Capital disclosures

Vermilion defines capital as net debt (long-term debt plus net working capital) and shareholders’ capital. Vermilion excludes from its definition of capital any obligations secured by an offsetting asset, such as lease obligations.

Vermilion monitors the ratio of net debt to fund flows from operations. As at December 31, 2019, our ratio of net debt to trailing fund flows from operations is 2.20 (2018 - 2.30). Vermilion manages the ratio of net debt to fund flows from operations (refer to Note 4 - Segmented information) by monitoring capital expenditures, dividends, and asset retirement obligations with expected fund flows from operations. Vermilion intends for the ratio of net debt to fund flows from operations to trend towards 1.5 over time.

The following table calculates Vermilion’s ratio of net debt to fund flows from operations:

Year Ended
Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018
Long-term<br> debt 1,924,665 1,796,207

--- ---

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the awards had a weighted average grant date fair value of $30.92 (2018 - $40.57). Equity based compensation expense for the awards is calculated based on the number of awards outstanding multiplied by the estimated performance factor that will be realized upon vesting (2019 - 1.7; 2018 - 1.9) adjusted by an estimated annual forfeiture rate (2019 - 5.2%; 2018 - 4.6%). Equity based compensation expense of $46.6 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 (2018 - $48.2 million) relating to the awards.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were 72,191 DSUs granted and outstanding with a weighted average grant date fair value of $25.25. Equity based compensation expense of $1.8 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 relating to the DSUs.

^(1)^ The<br> carrying value of the above equals fair value except for long-term debt. The fair value<br> of long-term debt was $1,905,588 (2018 - $1,781,809).
--- ---

The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable and lease obligations are a reasonable approximation of their fair value due to the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt outstanding on the revolving credit facility approximates its fair value due to the use of short-term borrowing instruments at market rates of interest.

Fair value measurements are categorized into a fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Level<br> 1 inputs are determined by reference to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for<br> identical assets or liabilities. Inputs used in fair value measurement of cash and cash<br> equivalents, the revolving credit facility, and the senior unsecured notes are categorized<br> as Level 1.
Level<br> 2 inputs are determined based on inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are<br> observable, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of Vermilion’s derivative<br> assets and liabilities are determined using pricing models that incorporate future price<br> forecasts (supported by prices from observable market transactions) and credit risk adjustments.
--- ---
Level<br> 3 inputs are not based on observable market data. Vermilion does not have any financial<br> instruments classified as Level 3.
--- ---

There were no transfers between levels in the hierarchy in the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Natureand Extent of Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

Vermilion is exposed to financial risks from its financial instruments. These financial risks include: market risk (includes commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and currency risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.

Commodityprice risk

Vermilion is exposed to commodity price risk on its derivative assets and liabilities which are used as part of the Company’s risk management program to mitigate the effects of changes in commodity prices on future cash flows. While transactions of this nature relate to future petroleum and natural gas production, Vermilion does not designate these derivative assets and liabilities as accounting hedges. As such, changes in commodity prices impact the fair value of derivative instruments and the corresponding gains or losses recognized on derivative instruments.

Currencyrisk

Vermilion is exposed to currency risk on its financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payables, lease obligations, long-term debt, derivative assets and derivative liabilities. These financial instruments are primarily denominated in the US dollar and the Euro. Vermilion monitors its exposure to currency risk and reviews whether the use of derivative financial instruments is appropriate to manage potential fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Interestrate risk

Vermilion is exposed to interest rate risk on its revolving credit facility, which consists of short-term borrowing instruments that bear interest at market rates. Thus, changes in interest rates could result in an increase or decrease in the amount paid by Vermilion to service this debt.

The following table summarizes the increase (positive values) or decrease (negative values) to net earnings before tax due to a change in the value of Vermilion’s financial instruments as a result of a change in the relevant market risk variable. This analysis does not attempt to reflect any interdependencies between the relevant risk variables.

Creditrisk:

Vermilion is exposed to credit risk on accounts receivable and derivative assets in the event that customers, joint operation partners, or counterparties fail to discharge their contractual obligations. As at December 31, 2019, Vermilion’s maximum exposure to receivable credit risk was $287.2 million (December 31, 2018 - $357.2 million) which is the value of accounts receivable and derivative assets on the balance sheet.

Vermilion’s accounts receivable primarily relates to customers and joint operations partners in the petroleum and natural gas industry. These amounts are subject to normal industry payment terms and credit risks. Vermilion manages these risks by monitoring the creditworthiness of customers and joint operations partners and, where appropriate, obtaining assurances such as parental guarantees and letters of credit. Vermilion determines the lifetime expected credit losses recognized on accounts receivable using a provision matrix. In preparing the provision matrix, the Company takes into account historical credit loss experience based on the aging of accounts receivable, adjusted as necessary for current and future petroleum and natural gas prices to the extent that changes in pricing may negatively impact the Company's customers and joint operations partners. The lifetime expected credit losses on accounts receivable as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is not material. As at the balance sheet date, approximately 3.6% (2018 - 0.7%) of the accounts receivable balance was outstanding for more than 90 days. Vermilion considers the balance of accounts receivable to be collectible.

Vermilion’s derivative assets primarily relates to the fair value of financial instruments used as part of the Company’s risk management program to mitigate the effects of changes in commodity prices on future cash flows. Vermilion manages this risk by monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties, transacting primarily with counterparties that have investment grade third party credit ratings, and by limiting the concentration of financial exposure to individual counterparties. As a result, Vermilion has not obtained collateral or other security to support its financial derivatives.

Vermilion’s cash deposited in financial institutions and guaranteed investment certificates are also subject to counterparty credit risk. Vermilion mitigates this risk by transacting with financial institutions with high third party credit ratings.

Liquidityrisk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that Vermilion will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. Vermilion does not consider this to be a significant risk as its financial position and available committed borrowing facility provide significant financial flexibility and allow Vermilion to meet its obligations as they come due.

The following table summarizes Vermilion’s undiscounted non-derivative financial liabilities and their contractual maturities:
