 CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our financial position, estimated quantities and net present values of reserves, business strategy, plans and objectives of our management for future operations, covenant compliance, capital spending plans and benefits of the changes in our capital program or expenditures, our liquidity, the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “plan,” “budget,” “objective,” “could,” “should,” or similar expressions or variations on these expressions are forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct or that, even if correct, intervening circumstances will not occur to cause actual results to be different than expected. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our operations are located in South America and unexpected problems can arise due to guerilla activity, strikes, local blockades or protests; technical difficulties and operational difficulties may arise which impact the production, transport or sale of our products; other disruptions to local operations; global health events (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic); global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices, differentials or other market conditions affecting oil and gas, including inflation and changes resulting from a global health crisis, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, or from the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by OPEC, such as its recent decision to cut production and other producing countries and the resulting company or third-party actions in response to such changes; changes in commodity prices, including volatility or a decline in these prices relative to historical or future expected levels; the risk that current global economic and credit conditions may impact oil prices and oil consumption more than we currently predicts, which could cause further modification of our strategy and capital spending program; prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable and volatile; the effect of hedges; the accuracy of productive capacity of any particular field; geographic, political and weather conditions can impact the production, transport or sale of our products; our ability to execute its business plan and realize expected benefits from current initiatives; the risk that unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned properties may occur; the ability to replace reserves and production and develop and manage reserves on an economically viable basis; the accuracy of testing and production results and seismic data, pricing and cost estimates (including with respect to commodity pricing and exchange rates); the risk profile of planned exploration activities; the effects of drilling down-dip; the effects of waterflood and multi-stage fracture stimulation operations; the extent and effect of delivery disruptions, equipment performance and costs; actions by third parties; the timely receipt of regulatory or other required approvals for our operating activities; the failure of exploratory drilling to result in commercial wells; unexpected delays due to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; volatility or declines in the trading price of our common stock or bonds; the risk that we do not receive the anticipated benefits of government programs, including government tax refunds; our ability to obtain a new credit agreement and comply with financial covenants in its credit agreement and indentures and make borrowings under any credit agreement; and those factors set out in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and volatility in the worldwide economy and oil and gas industry makes, including the unpredictable nature of the resurgence of cases, possible variants and governmental responses, it more difficult to predict the accuracy of forward-looking statements. The information included herein is given as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC and, except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to or to withdraw, any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during each period.

Diluted net income per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation arrangements. The treasury stock method assumes that any proceeds obtained on the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The weighted average number of shares is then adjusted by the difference between the number of shares issued from the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements and shares repurchasedre-purchased from the related proceeds. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to market participants to settle liability at the measurement date. For financial instruments carried at fair value, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

Level 1 - Inputs representing quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly
11


Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities

At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company’s financial instruments recognized on the balance sheet consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other long-term assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, derivatives, other short-term payables, long-term debt, asset retirement obligation, long-term equity compensation reward liability and other long-term liabilities.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate its carrying value because interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.

Prepaid Equity Forward (“PEF”)

To reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in the trading price of the Company’s common shares on outstanding PSUs and DSUs, the Company entered into a PEF. At the end of the term, the counterparty will pay the Company an amount equivalent to the notional amount of the shares using the price of the Company’s common shares at the valuation date. The Company has the discretion to increase or decrease the notional amount of the PEF or terminate the agreement early. As at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company’s PEF had a notional amount of 16 million shares with a fair value of $18.4$19.7 million (As at December 31, 2021 - 10 million shares with a fair value of $7.6 million). During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $5.2$2.6 million loss and $2.7$5.3 million gain, respectively, on the PEF in general and administrative expenses (three and six nine
13


months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021- $0.1$0.6 million gain)and $0.7 million gain respectively). The fair value of the PEF asset was estimated using the Company’s share price quoted in active markets at the end of each reporting period.

DSUs liability

The fair value of DSUs liability was estimated using the Company’s share price quoted in active markets at the end of each reporting period.

PSUs liability

The fair value of the PSUs liability was estimated based on a pricing model using inputs such as Company’s share price and PSUs performance factor.

Derivative asset and derivative liability

The fair value of derivatives is estimated based on various factors, including quoted market prices in active markets and quotes from third parties. The Company also performs an internal valuation to ensure the reasonableness of third party quotes. In consideration of counterparty credit risk, the Company assessed whether the counterparty to the derivative would default by failing to make any contractually required payments. Additionally, the Company considers that it is of substantial credit quality and has the financial resources and willingness to meet its potential repayment obligations associated with the derivative transactions.

The following table presents gains or losses on derivatives and other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations:

At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the carrying amounts of the 6.25% Senior Notes and the 7.75% Senior Notes were $294.8$275.5 million and $292.6$292.9 million, respectively, which represented the aggregate principal amount less unamortized debt issuance costs, and the fair values were $281.5$230.9 million and $275.1$234.0 million, respectively.

Restricted cash - long-term

The fair value of long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents and the revolving credit facility approximated their carrying value because interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. The fair values of other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Asset retirement obligation

The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements include asset retirement obligation. The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is measured by reference to the expected future cash outflows required to satisfy the retirement obligation discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The significant level 3 inputs used to calculate such liabilities include estimates of costs to be incurred, the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate, inflation rates, and estimated dates of abandonment. Accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liabilities are accreted to their expected settlement value, while the asset retirement cost is amortized over the estimated productive life of the related assets.

Commodity Price Derivatives

The Company may utilize commodity price derivatives to manage the variability in cash flows associated with the forecasted sale of its oil production, reduce commodity price risk and provide a base level of cash flows to assure it can execute at least a portion of its planned capital spending.

All Company’s commodity price derivatives expired on June 30, 2022 and as at June 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding commodity price derivatives.

(2) Non-GAAP measures

Operating netback, net debt, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, funds flow from operations, and free cash flow, are non-GAAP measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP. Management views these measures as financial performance measures. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to oil sales, net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure is preceded by the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.

Operating netback, as presented, is defined as oil sales less operating and transportation expenses. Management believes that operating netback is a useful supplemental measure for management and investors to analyze financial performance and provides an indication of the results generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of other income and expenses. A reconciliation from oil sales to operating netback is provided in the table above.

Net debt as of September 30, 2022, was $461.7 million, calculated using the sum of 6.25% Senior Notes and 7.75% Senior Notes, excluding deferred financing fees of $579.9 million, less cash and cash equivalents of $118.2 million.


17



EBITDA, as presented, is defined as net income or loss adjusted for depletion, depreciation and accretion (“DD&A”) expenses, interest expense and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, is defined as EBITDA adjusted for non-cash lease expense, lease payments, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, stock-based compensation expense or recovery, unrealized derivative instruments gain or loss, andgain on re-purchase of Senior Notes, other financial instruments gain or loss and other loss. Management uses this supplemental measure to analyze performance and income generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income and believes that this financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors to analyze our performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Funds flow from operations, as presented, is defined as net income or loss adjusted for DD&A expenses, deferred tax expense or recovery, stock-based compensation expense or recovery, amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash lease expense, lease payments, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, derivative instruments gain or loss, cash settlement on derivative instruments, gain on re-purchase of Senior Notes, and other financial instruments gain or loss. Management uses this financial measure to analyze performance and income generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income and believes that this financial measure is also useful supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and our financial results. Free cash flow, as presented, is defined as funds flow less capital expenditures. Management uses this financial measure to analyze cash flow generated by our principal business activities after capital requirements and believes that this financial measure is also useful supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net income (loss) to funds flow from operations, and free cash flow is as follows:

Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had a $2.7 million loss and $1.0 million gain, respectively, on foreign exchange of $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, compared to a $0.1$2.7 million and $13.2$15.8 million loss respectively, forin the corresponding periods of 2021.

We believe that our capital resources, including cash on hand, cash generated from operations and available borrowings under newthe credit facility, which we are planning to obtain will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our strategic objectives and planned capital program for the next 12 months, and beyond, given the current oil price trends and production levels. We plan to replace our prior credit facility with a smaller one to align with our current business objectives. We may also access capital markets to pursue financing andor refinance our Senior Notes. In accordance with our investment policy, available cash balances are held in our primary cash management banks or may be invested in U.S. or Canadian government-backed federal, provincial or state securities or other money market instruments with high credit ratings and short-term liquidity. We believe that our current financial position provides us with the flexibility to respond to both internal growth opportunities and those available through acquisitions. We intend to pursue growth opportunities and acquisitions from time to time, which may require significant

As at June 30, 2022, the borrowing base of our Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “revolving credit facility”) was $150 million, with $125 million readily available and $25 million subject to approval by majority lenders. During the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we completely paid-off the outstanding balance on theterminated our prior revolving credit facility agreement and subsequent to the quarter, the revolvingentered into a new credit facility was terminated. At Juneagreement with a market lender in the global commodities industry. The credit facility has a borrowing base of up to $150 million, with $100 million readily available at September 30, 2022, and a potential option for an additional $50 million of borrowings upon mutual agreement by the lender and us. The credit facility bears interest based on a risk-free rate posted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus a margin of 6.0% and a credit-adjusted spread of 0.26%. Undrawn amounts under the credit facility bear interest at 2.1% per annum, based on the amount available. The credit facility is secured by our Colombian assets and economic rights. It has a final maturity date of August 15, 2024, which may be extended to February 18, 2025, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The availability period for the draws is six months commencing the date of termination, respectively,the credit facility. As of September 30, 2022, the credit facility remained undrawn.

Under the terms of the credit facility, we are required to maintain compliance with the following financial covenants:

i.Coverage ratio of at least 150% is calculated using the net present value of the consolidated future cash flows of the Company up to the final maturity date discounted at 10% over the outstanding amount on the credit facility at each reporting period. The net present value of the consolidated future cash flows of the Company is required to be based on 80% of the prevailing ICE Brent forward strip.

ii.Prepayment Life Coverage Ratio of at least 150% calculated using the estimated aggregate value of commodities to be delivered under the commercial contract from the commencement date to the final maturity date based on 80% of the prevailing ICE Brent forward strip, adjusted for quality and transportation discounts over the outstanding amount on the credit facility including interest and all other costs payable to the lender.

iii.Liquidity ratio where the Company’s projected sources of cash exceed projected uses of cash by at least 1.15 times in each quarter period included in one year consolidated future cash flows. The future cash flows represent forecasted expected cash flows from operations, less anticipated capital expenditures and certain other adjustments. The commodity pricing assumption used in this covenant is required to be 90% of the prevailing Brent strip forward for the projected future cash flows.

At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicableabove covenants.

An event of default under the revolving credit facility would result in a default under the indentures governing the senior notes, which could allow the noteholders to require us to repurchase all of the outstanding Senior Notes.

In accordance with our investment policy, availableDuring the three months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased in the open market $20.1 million of 6.25% Senior Notes for cash balancesconsideration of $17.3 million, including interest payable of $0.1 million, which resulted in a $2.6 million gain on re-purchase which included the write-off of deferred financing fees of $0.3 million. The re-purchased 6.25% Senior Notes were not cancelled and are held by us as treasury bonds as of September 30, 2022.

One of the primary sources of variability in our cash flows from operating activities is the fluctuation in oil prices. Sales volume changes and costs related to operations and debt service also impact cash flows. Our cash flows from operating activities are also impacted by foreign currency exchange rate changes. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, funds flow from
33


operations increased by 265%135% compared to the corresponding period of 2021 primarily due to a significant increase in Brent price and increase in production, which were partially offset by higher Castilla and Vasconia differentials, andM+1 Brent adjustment, an increase in operating expenses and cash settlements on derivative instruments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Item 7 of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and have not changed materially since the filing of that document.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity price risk

Our principal market risk relates to oil prices. Oil prices are volatile and unpredictable and influenced by concerns over world supply and demand imbalance and many other market factors outside of our control. Most of ourOur revenues are from oil sales at prices which reflect the blended prices received upon shipment by the purchaser at defined sales points or are defined by contract relative to ICE Brent and adjusted for quality each month.differentials.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is a factor for our Company but is ameliorated to a certain degree by the nature of expenditures and revenues in the countries where we operate. Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars and 100% of our revenues are related to the U.S. dollar price of Brent or WTI oil.adjusted for quality differentials. We receive 100% of our revenues in U.S. dollars and the majority of our capital expenditures is in U.S. dollars or is based on U.S. dollar prices. The majority of income and value added taxes, operating and G&A expenses in Colombia are in the local currency. Certain G&A expenses incurred at our head office in Canada are denominated in Canadian dollars. While we operate in South America exclusively, the majority of our acquisition expenditures have been valued and paid in U.S. dollars.

Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses result primarily from the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar to the Colombian peso due to our current and deferred tax liabilities, which are monetary liabilities, denominated in the local currency of the Colombian foreign operations. As a result, a foreign exchange gain or loss must be calculated on conversion to the U.S. dollar functional currency.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations on our revolving credit facility, which bears floating rates of interest. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, our outstanding balance under revolvingthe credit facility was nil (December 31, 2021 - $67.5 million). Subsequent to the quarter, the revolving credit facility was terminated and the Company is no longer exposed to fluctuations on market interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule l3a-15(b) of the Exchange Act.

See Note 9 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for any material developments with respect to matters previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and any material matters that have arisen since the filing of such report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control.
