NON-GAAP MEASURES
Certain measures in this presentation do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP
measures. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures have been provided for
meaningful comparisons between current results and other periods and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP.
For additional information relating to non-GAAP measures, see Encana’s most recent MD&A as filed on SEDAR and EDGAR. Non-GAAP measures
include:
• Cash Flow, Cash Flow Per Share (CFPS) and Corporate Margin –
Cash Flow is defined as cash from operating activities excluding net
change in other assets and liabilities, net change in non-cash working
capital and cash tax on sale of assets. CFPS is Cash Flow divided by
the number of common shares outstanding. Corporate Margin is Cash
Flow per BOE of production. Management believes these measures
are useful to the company and its investors as a measure of operating
and financial performance across periods and against other
companies in the industry, and are indication of the company’s ability
to generate cash to finance capital programs, to service debt and to
meet other financial obligations. These measures are used, along with
other measures, in the calculation of certain performance targets for
the company’s management and employees.
• Debt to Debt Adjusted Cash Flow (D/DACF) – D/DACF is Encana’s
consolidated debt versus Cash Flow excluding interest expense after
tax. This measure is monitored by management and is commonly
used in the oil and gas industry as an indicator of the company’s
overall financial strength.
• Debt to Adjusted Capitalization – Debt to Adjusted Capitalization
adjusts capitalization for historical ceiling test impairments that were
recorded as at December 31, 2011. Management monitors Debt to
Adjusted Capitalization as a proxy for Encana’s financial covenant
under its credit facility agreements which require debt to adjusted
capitalization to be less than 60 percent. Adjusted Capitalization
includes debt, total shareholders’ equity and an equity adjustment for
cumulative historical ceiling test impairments recorded as at
December 31, 2011 in conjunction with the Company’s January 1,
2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP.
• Normalized Interest – Normalized Interest is interest expense on longterm debt, excluding one-time charges associated with early
retirement. Management believes Normalized Interest is a useful
indicator of ongoing interest costs associated with long-term debt that
is more comparable between periods as it eliminates certain one-time
costs.
• Normalized G&A – Normalized G&A is administrative expense
excluding long-term incentive and restructuring costs. Management
believes Normalized G&A is a useful indicator of ongoing controllable
base administrative costs that are more comparable between periods
and against other companies in the industry as it eliminates certain
one-time and non-cash impacts.

Readers are cautioned against unduly relying on FLS which, by their nature, involve numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause such statements not to occur, or for results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.
These assumptions include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
assumptions contained in Encana’s 2016 corporate guidance and in this presentation
data contained in key modeling statistics
availability of attractive hedges and enforceability of risk management program
results from innovations
expectation that counterparties will fulfill their obligations under gathering, midstream and marketing agreements
access to transportation and processing facilities where Encana operates
•
•
•
effectiveness of Encana’s resource play hub model to drive productivity and efficiencies
enforceability of transaction agreements
expectations and projections made in light of, and generally consistent with, Encana’s historical experience and its
perception of historical trends, including with respect to the pace of technological development, the benefits
achieved and general industry expectations
Risks and uncertainties that may affect these business outcomes include: risks inherent to closing announced divestitures on a timely basis or at all and adjustments that may reduce the expected proceeds and value to Encana; commodity price
volatility; timing and costs of well, facilities and pipeline construction; ability to secure adequate product transportation and potential pipeline curtailments; business interruption and casualty losses or unexpected technical difficulties; counterparty
and credit risk; fluctuations in currency and interest rates; risk and effect of a downgrade in credit rating, including below an investment-grade credit rating, and its impact on access to capital markets and other sources of liquidity; variability and
discretion of Encana’s Board to declare and pay dividends, if any; the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet Encana’s obligations; failure to achieve anticipated results from cost and efficiency initiatives; risks inherent in marketing
operations; risks associated with technology; Encana’s ability to acquire or find additional reserves; imprecision of reserves estimates and estimates of recoverable quantities of natural gas and liquids from resource plays and other sources not
currently classified as proved, probable or possible reserves or economic contingent resources, including future net revenue estimates; changes in or interpretation of royalty, tax, environmental, accounting and other laws; risks associated with
past and future divestitures of certain assets or other transactions or receive amounts contemplated under the transaction agreements (such transactions may include third-party capital investments, farm-outs or partnerships, which Encana may
refer to from time to time as "partnerships" or "joint ventures" and the funds received in respect thereof which Encana may refer to from time to time as "proceeds", "deferred purchase price" and/or "carry capital", regardless of the legal form) as a
result of various conditions not being met; and other risks and uncertainties impacting Encana's business, as described in its most recent MD&A, financial statements, Annual Information Form and Form 40-F, as filed on SEDAR and EDGAR.
Although Encana believes the expectations represented by such FLS are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions, risks and uncertainties referenced
above are not exhaustive. FLS are made as of the date of this presentation and, except as required by law, Encana undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any FLS. The FLS contained in this presentation are expressly qualified by
these cautionary statements.
Certain future oriented financial information or financial outlook information is included in this presentation to communicate current expectations as to Encana’s performance. Readers are cautioned that it may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Rates of return for a particular play or well are on a before-tax basis and are based on specified commodity prices with local pricing offsets, capital costs associated with drilling, completing and equipping a well, field operating expenses and certain
type curve assumptions. Pacesetter well costs for a particular play are a composite of the best drilling performance and best completions performance wells in the current quarter in such play and are presented for comparison purposes. Drilling
and completions costs have been normalized as specified in this presentation based on certain lateral lengths for a particular play. Premium return locations are defined as locations with expected after tax returns greater than 35% at $50/bbl WTI
and $3/MMBtu NYMEX.
For convenience, references in this presentation to “Encana”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” may, where applicable, refer only to or include any relevant direct and indirect subsidiary corporations and partnerships (“Subsidiaries”) of Encana
Corporation, and the assets, activities and initiatives of such Subsidiaries.

ADVISORY REGARDING RESERVES DATA & OTHER OIL & GAS INFORMATION
National Instrument (“NI”) 51-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators imposes oil and gas disclosure standards for Canadian public companies engaged in oil and gas activities. Encana complies with NI 51-101 requirements in its
most recently filed annual information form (“AIF”). Detailed Canadian protocol disclosure is contained in Appendix A and under “Narrative Description of the Business” of the AIF. Certain disclosure is also prepared in accordance with U.S.
disclosure requirements as set forth in Appendix D of the AIF. A description of the primary differences between the disclosure requirements under Canadian and U.S. standards is set forth under the heading “Reserves and Other Oil and
Gas Information” in the AIF. Additional detail regarding Encana’s economic contingent resources disclosure is in the Supplemental Disclosure Document filed concurrently with the AIF. All estimates are effective as of December 31, 2015,
are derived from reports prepared by independent qualified reserves evaluators (“IQREs) engaged by Encana and are prepared in accordance with procedures and standards contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook
(“COGEH”), NI 51-101 and SEC regulations, as applicable. Information on the forecast prices and costs used in preparing the estimates are contained in the AIF. For additional information relating to risks associated with the estimates of
reserves and resources, see “Risk Factors” in the AIF.
Reserves are the estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date forward, based on: analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and
engineering data, the use of established technology, and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Proved reserves are those reserves which can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be
recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely
that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. Contingent resources do not constitute, and should not be confused with, reserves. Contingent resources
are defined 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. There is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. All of the resources classified as contingent are considered to be discovered,
and as such have been assigned a 100% chance of discovery, but have however been risked for the chance of development. The chance of development is defined as the likelihood of a project being commercially viable and development
proceeding in a timely fashion. Determining the chance of development requires taking into consideration each contingency and quantifying the risks into an overall development risk factor at a project level. Contingent resources are
categorized as economic if those contingent resources have a positive net present value under currently forecasted prices and costs. In examining economic viability, the same fiscal conditions have been applied as in the estimation of
Encana’s reserves. Contingencies include factors such as required corporate or third party (such as joint venture partners) approvals, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of infrastructure or markets.
Encana uses the terms play, resource play, total petroleum initially-in-place (“PIIP”), natural gas-in-place (“NGIP”), and crude oil-in-place (“COIP”). Play encompasses resource plays, geological formations and conventional plays. Resource
play describes an accumulation of hydrocarbons known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section, which when compared to a conventional play, typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk and
lower average decline rate. PIIP is defined by the Society of Petroleum Engineers - Petroleum Resources Management System (“SPE-PRMS”) as that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring
accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered (equivalent to “total
resource potential”). NGIP and COIP are defined in the same manner, with the substitution of “natural gas” and “crude oil” where appropriate for the word “petroleum”. As used by Encana, estimated ultimate recovery (“EUR”) has the
meaning set out jointly by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and World Petroleum Congress in the year 2000, being those quantities of petroleum which are estimated, on a given date, to be potentially recoverable from an accumulation,
plus those quantities already produced therefrom.
Encana has provided information with respect to certain of its plays and emerging opportunities which is “analogous information” as defined in NI 51-101. This analogous information includes estimates of PIIP, NGIP, COIP or EUR, all as
defined in the COGEH or by the SPE-PRMS, and production type curves. This analogous information is presented on a basin, sub-basin or area basis utilizing data derived from Encana's internal sources, as well as from a variety of
publicly available information sources which are predominantly independent in nature. Production type curves are based on a methodology of analog, empirical and theoretical assessments and workflow with consideration of the specific
asset, and as depicted in this presentation, is representative of Encana’s current program, including relative to current performance. Some of this data may not have been prepared by qualified reserves evaluators, may have been prepared
based on internal estimates, and the preparation of any estimates may not be in strict accordance with COGEH. Estimates by engineering and geo-technical practitioners may vary and the differences may be significant. Encana believes
that the provision of this analogous information is relevant to Encana's oil and gas activities, given its acreage position and operations (either ongoing or planned) in the areas in question, and such information has been updated as of the
date hereof unless otherwise specified. Due to the early life nature of the various emerging plays discussed in this presentation, PIIP is the most relevant specific assignable category of estimated resources. There is no certainty that any
portion of the resources will be discovered. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the estimated PIIP, NGIP, COIP or EUR. Disclosure of estimated well locations include proved, probable,
contingent and unbooked locations. These estimates are prepared internally based on Encana's prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal
review. Approximately half of all locations in our core four plays are booked as either reserves or resources, as prepared by IQREs using forecast prices and costs as of December 31, 2015. Unbooked locations do not have attributed
reserves or resources and have been identified by management as an estimation of Encana's multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no
certainty that Encana will drill all unbooked locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The locations on which Encana will actually drill wells, including
the number and timing thereof is ultimately dependent upon the availability of capital, regulatory and partner approvals, seasonal restrictions, equipment and personnel, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional
reservoir information that is obtained, production rate recovery, transportation constraints and other factors. While certain of the unbooked locations have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such locations,
many of other unbooked locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations
and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional proved or probable reserves, resources or production.
30-day IP and other short-term rates are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. The conversion of natural gas volumes to barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) is on the basis of six thousand cubic feet to one
barrel. BOE is based on a generic energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent economic value equivalency at the wellhead. Readers are cautioned that BOE may be misleading,
particularly if used in isolation.
