Non-GAAP Measures Advisory
Non-GAAP Measures Advisory
In this presentation, we refer to certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with IFRS. These measures as presented do not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable with calculations of similar measures for other companies. We believe that, in conjunction with results presented in
accordance with IFRS, these measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of certain aspects of our results of operations and financial performance. You are
cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS as an indication of our performance. These
measures include the following:
EBITDA is Funds Flow excluding the impact of financing expenses, realized gains/losses on foreign exchange hedges on prepayments, realized foreign exchange gains/losses on
debt prepayments and restructuring expenses. EBITDA as defined by Penn West’s debt agreements excludes the EBITDA contribution from assets sold in the prior 12 months and is
used within Penn West’s covenant calculations related to its syndicated bank facility and senior notes;
Funds Flow is cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital and decommissioning expenditures. Funds flow is used to assess our ability to fund
dividends and planned capital programs. For additional information relating to funds flow, including a reconciliation of our funds flow to our cash flow from operating activities, see our
latest management's discussion and analysis which is available in Canada at www.sedar.com and in the United States at www.sec.gov;
Funds Flow from Operations excludes the effects of financing related transactions from foreign exchange contracts and debt repayments/ pre-payments and is more representative
of cash related to continuing operations. Funds flow and Funds flow from operations are used to assess the Company’s ability to fund dividend and planned capital programs. For
additional information relating to funds flow from operations, including a reconciliation of our funds flow from operations to our funds flow, see our latest management's discussion and
analysis which is available in Canada at www.sedar.com and in the United States at www.sec.gov;
Netback is a measure of cash operating margin on an absolute or per-unit-of-production basis and is calculated as the absolute or per-unit-of-production amount of revenue less
royalties, operating costs and transportation. The measure is used to assess the operational profitability of the company as well as relative profitability of individual assets. For
additional information relating to netbacks, including a detailed calculation of our netbacks, see our latest management's discussion and analysis which is available in Canada at
www.sedar.com and in the United States at www.sec.gov;
Net debt is the amount of long-term debt, comprised of long-term notes and bank debt, plus net working capital (surplus)/deficit. Net debt is a measure of leverage and liquidity; and
Net working capital (surplus)/deficit is accounts payable and accrued liabilities plus dividends payable less the sum of accounts receivable and other current assets. Also includes
the net working capital portion of assets held for sale. We use this as a measure of net cash obligations to be settled in the near-term under the course of normal business operations.

Oil and Gas Disclosures Advisory
Reserves Disclosures and Definitions
Any reference to reserves in this presentation are based on the report ("Sproule Report") prepared by Sproule Associates Limited dated February 3, 2016 where they evaluated one
hundred percent of the crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves of Penn West and the net present value of future net revenue attributable to those reserves effective as
at December 31, 2015. For further information regarding the Sproule Report, see Appendix A to our Annual Information Form dated March 10, 2016 ("AIF"). It should not be assumed
that the estimates of future net revenues presented herein represent the fair market value of the reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions will be
attained and variances could be material. The recovery and reserves estimates of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves provided herein are estimates only and there
is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquid reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided
herein. The estimates of reserves for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation.
Production and Reserves
The use of the word "gross" in this presentation (i) in relation to our interest in production and reserves, means our working interest (operating or non-operating) share before
deduction of royalties and without including our royalty interests, (ii) in relation to wells, means the total number of wells in which we have an interest, and (iii) in relation to properties,
means the total area of properties in which we have an interest. The use of the word "net" in this presentation (i) in relation to our interest in production and reserves, means our
working interest (operating or non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus our royalty interests, (ii) in relation to our interest in wells, means the number of wells
obtained by aggregating our working interest in each of our gross wells, and (iii) in relation to our interest in a property, means the total area in which we have an interest multiplied by
the working interest owned by us. Unless otherwise stated, production volumes and reserves estimates in this presentation are stated on a gross basis. All references to well counts
are net to the Company, unless otherwise indicated.
Reserve Definitions
reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on the
analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical, and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being
reasonable. Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates.
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.
proved reserves are those reserves that 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.
Each of the reserves categories (proved and probable) may be divided into developed and undeveloped categories:
Developed reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low
expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves on production. The developed category may be subdivided into producing and nonproducing.
Developed producing reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently
producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.
Developed non-producing reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production, but are shut-in, and the date of
resumption of production is unknown.
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. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves category (proved, probable) to which they are assigned.
For additional reserve definitions, see "Notes to Reserves Data Tables" in our AIF.

proceeds of $100-$200 million, that we are getting back to organic production growth with increased second half capital program; b) under “Senior Debt Compliance”, that we have
$374 million cash available for debt prepayment which would translate into pro-forma Senior Debt to EBITDA of 2.3 times going forward, the expectation to be comfortably in
compliance with all financial covenants in foreseeable future; c) under “Strong Metrics Received for Saskatchewan”, the implied production , NOI multiples and 2P Reserves; d)
under “Penn West Transformation Plan”, that there are competitive and sustainable go-forward leverage metrics, and to be completed by year end: (i) streamline Alberta operations to
three areas of focus and reduce debt by further $100 - $200 million; (ii) operating costs of $10 - 12 per boe in-line with top tier operators; (iii) long-term organic production growth
profile of 10% annually at current commodity prices; and (iv) capacity to generate funds flow from operations in excess of capital spending at current commodity prices; e) under
“Phase 2 Asset Sales Remaining”, the pro forma well count and ARO based on completion of Phase 2 and the expected sales range of $100 to $200 million and total production of
approximately 20,000 boe/d for the Phase 2 sales; f) under “Peer Comparison and Competitiveness”, that Phase 1 largely fixes the debt problem and that Phase 2 will be complete
by year-end and result in high-grading of costs and netbacks, and the anticipated impact to Net Debt/FFO, 2P NAV/Net Debt, Opex and netbacks based on completion of Phase 1
and 2, respectively; g) under “New Penn West at a Glance”, the production, Opex and Field Netback metrics for the full year 2016 assuming that Phase 2 has been completed; h)
under “Updated 2016 Capital Budget & Guidance”, that we are capitalizing on improved financial flexibility by increasing capital budget by $40 million which is expected to add
approximately 3,000 boe/d of exit production, that we are demonstrating ability to grow profitably and sustainably, that the capital program to be entirely paid for by funds flow from
operations, how the budget will be increased by area, that we will drill 5 Cardium wells, 11 Alberta Viking wells, running 2 rigs at PROP as per original budget, the updated 2016
guidance (including average corporate and core production range, capital and decommission expenditures and corporate operating and G&A expense ranges); i) under “2017
Preliminary Look”, anticipating to spend up to $150 million in total expenditures next year targeting development in core areas, expecting to grow production by 10% from Q4 2016 to
Q4 2017 through the drill bit, and that the Capital program will be fully funded by funds from operations; j) under “Updated Long-Term Plan Metrics”, the predicted impact of
completing phases 1 and 2 on exit production, sustainability (total expenditures and FFO), senior debt and leverage metrics and FFO build up; k) under “Penn West Enters a New

projections on the life cycle in the next 3 and 5 years for the Cardium, Alberta Viking and PROP; m) under “Cardium Area – Strong Development Foundation”, that there is a
secondary recovery upside based on waterflood revitalization and low decline base production, that we will develop a material Mannville and Belly River position, will utilize existing
infrastructure and leverage Cardium formation expertise; n) under “Multi-Horizon Potential in Cardium Area”, that in the Caridum there is the foundation for profitable and sustainable
growth and that in the prospective zones there is the possibly for drilling with high-impact liquids-weighted production potential and that it will form part of the development strategy
over the next several years; o) under “Peace River Area – Stable Cash Generation”, that there is a thermal upside, the NOI sensitivities and estimating approximately $0.50 opex per
boe net of carry in 2017 resulting from offsetting power revenue; and p) under “Alberta Viking – Prospective Light Oil Fairway”, that the offset competitor activity derisks the play, that
the learnings from SK Viking is transferrable to AB Viking and the expectation of similar cost per meter and cost per stage.
