Unless the context otherwise indicates, references to “us,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” “Ovintiv,” and the “Company,” refer to Ovintiv Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries for periods on or after January 24, 2020 and to Encana Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for periods before January 24, 2020. In addition, the following are other abbreviations and definitions of certain terms used within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

“AECO” means Alberta Energy Company and is the Canadian benchmark price for natural gas.

“MD&A” means Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a conversion of natural gas volumes to BOE is on the basis of six Mcf to one bbl. 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. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value, particularly if used in isolation.

Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, all references to “dollars”, “$” or “US$” are to U.S. dollars and all references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars. All amounts are provided on a before tax basis, unless otherwise stated. In addition, all information provided herein is presented on an after royalties basis.

The terms “include”, “includes”, “including” and “included” are to be construed as if they were immediately followed by the words “without limitation”, except where explicitly stated otherwise.

The term “liquids” is used to represent oil, NGLs and condensate. The term “liquids rich” is used to represent natural gas streams with associated liquids volumes. The term “play” is used to describe an area in which hydrocarbon accumulations or prospects of a given type occur. Ovintiv’s focus of development is on hydrocarbon accumulations known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section and are developed using hydraulic fracturing. This type of development typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk and lower average decline rate, when compared to conventional development.

The term “core asset” refers to plays that are the focus of the Company’s current capital investment and development plan. The Company continually reviews funding for development of its plays based on strategic fit, profitability and portfolio diversity and, as such, the composition of plays identified as a core asset may change over time.

References to information contained on the Company’s website at www.ovintiv.com are not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute a part of, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

See accompanying Notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Ovintiv is in the business of the exploration for, the development of, and the production and marketing of oil, NGLs and natural gas.

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Ovintiv and entities in which it holds a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Undivided interests in oil and natural gas exploration and production joint ventures and partnerships are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Investments in non-controlled entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method.

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and disclosures normally required under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, which are included in Item 8 of Ovintiv’s ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10‑K.

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of Management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of the Company as at and for the periods presented. Interim condensed consolidated financial results are not necessarily indicative of consolidated financial results expected for the fiscal year.

Ovintiv’s reportable segments are determined based on the following operations and geographic locations:

Corporate and Other mainly includes unrealized gains or losses recorded on derivative financial instruments. Once the instruments are settled, the realized gains and losses are recorded in the reporting segment to which the derivative instruments relate. Corporate and Other also includes amounts related to sublease rentals.

Ovintiv had 0 contract asset or liability balances during the periods presented. As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, receivables and accrued revenues from contracts with customers were ~~$997~~$1,505 million ($~~814~~1,070 million as at December 31, ~~2020)~~2021).

Ovintiv’s product sales are sold under short-term contracts with terms that are less than one year at either fixed or market index prices or under long-term contracts exceeding one year at market index prices.

The Company’s gathering and processing services are provided on an interruptible basis with transaction prices that are for fixed prices and/or variable consideration. Variable consideration received is related to recovery of plant operating costs or escalation of the fixed price based on a consumer price index. As the service contracts are interruptible, with service provided on an “as available” basis, there are 0 unsatisfied performance obligations remaining at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, all remaining performance obligations are priced at market index prices or are variable volume delivery contracts. As such, the variable consideration is allocated entirely to the wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or promise to deliver units of production, and revenue is recognized at the amount for which the Company has the right to invoice the product delivered. As the period between when the product sales are transferred and Ovintiv receives payments is generally 30 to 60 days, there is no financing element associated with customer contracts. In addition, Ovintiv does not disclose unsatisfied performance obligations for customer contracts with terms less than 12 months or for variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations.

Ovintiv’s interim income tax expense is determined using the estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year-to-date net earnings before income tax plus the effect of legislative changes and amounts in respect of prior periods. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is impacted by expected annual earnings, changes in valuation allowances, income tax related to foreign operations, state ~~tax,~~taxes, the effect of legislative changes, non-taxable ~~capital gains and losses,~~items and tax differences on ~~divestitures and~~ transactions, which can produce interim effective tax rate fluctuations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the current income tax recovery was primarily due to the resolution of prior ~~year~~years’ tax items. The resolution, along with other items, resulted in a $222 million reduction of unrecognized tax benefits, offset by a $66 million reduction in valuation ~~allowance, and recognition~~allowance. The Company also recognized related interest income of $12 million in ~~interest income in~~ other (gains) ~~losses.~~losses, net.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the deferred tax recovery was due to the lower annual effective income tax rate applied to jurisdictional earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the deferred tax recovery was primarily due to the ~~reduction~~change in valuation allowances ~~recorded relating to current year net earnings before tax~~ and from the resolution of prior ~~year~~years’ tax items. ~~During~~

USA and Canadian Operations’ property, plant and equipment include internal costs directly related to exploration, development and construction activities of ~~$40~~$49 million, which have been capitalized during the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 (2020~~2022 (2021 - ~~$47~~$44 million).

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Ovintiv did 0t recognize a ceiling test impairment in the USA Operations (2020 - $277 million before tax) or Canadian Operations (2020 - nil). The non-cash ceiling test impairment recognized in the USA Operations in 2020 is included with accumulated DD&A in the table above and primarily resulted from the decline in the 12-month average trailing prices related to NGLs and natural gas, which reduced proved reserves values.

The 12-month average trailing prices used in the ceiling test calculations were based on the benchmark prices presented below. The benchmark prices were adjusted for basis differentials to determine local reference prices, transportation costs and tariffs, heat content and quality.

The following table outlines Ovintiv’s estimated future sublease income as at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. All subleases are classified as operating leases.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately $6 million in principal amount of its 5.15 percent senior notes due in November 2041 in the open market. The aggregate cash payments related to the note repurchases were $6 million, plus accrued interest.

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding commercial paper of $490 million maturing at various dates with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.03 percent. These amounts are supported, and Management expects that they will continue to be supported by revolving credit facilities that have no repayment requirements within the next year and which expire in 2024.

~~As at March 31, 2021,~~2022, total long-term debt had a carrying value of ~~$6,418~~$4,775 million and a fair value of ~~$7,206~~$5,412 million (as at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - carrying value of ~~$6,885~~$4,786 million and a fair value of ~~$7,379~~$5,804 million). The estimated fair value of long-term borrowings is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and has been determined based on market information of long-term debt with similar terms and maturity, or by discounting future payments of interest and principal at interest rates expected to be available to the Company at period end.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased in the open market approximately $100 million in principal amount of its senior notes. The aggregate cash payments related to the note repurchases were $89 million, plus accrued interest, and net gains of approximately $11 million, were recognized in other (gains) losses, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

~~In conjunction~~Ovintiv’s Performance Share Units (“PSU”) and Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) stock-based compensation plans allow the Company to settle the awards either in cash or in the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, Ovintiv issued 2.3 million shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (1.3 million shares during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021) as certain PSU and RSU grants vested during the period.

On September 28, 2021, the Company announced it had received regulatory approval to commence a NCIB that enables the Company to purchase, for cancellation, up to approximately 26 million shares of common stock over a 12-month period from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased approximately 1.7 million shares for total consideration of approximately $71 million. Of the amount paid, $14 thousand was charged to share capital and $71 million was charged to paid in surplus.

All purchases were made in accordance with the ~~corporate reorganization and U.S. domestication completed in 2020, the amount recognized in~~NCIB at prevailing market prices plus brokerage fees, with consideration allocated to share capital ~~in excess of Ovintiv’s established~~up to the par value of ~~$0.01 per share was reclassified~~the shares, with any excess allocated to paid in surplus. ~~Accordingly, approximately $7,058 million was reclassified.~~

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company declared and paid dividends of ~~$0.09375~~$0.20 per share of ~~Ovintiv~~ common stock totaling ~~$24~~$52 million ~~(2020~~(2021 - $0.09375 per share of ~~Ovintiv~~ common stock totaling $24 million).

On ~~April 28, 2021,~~May 9, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of ~~$0.09375~~$0.25 per share of ~~Ovintiv~~ common stock payable on June 30, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~stockholders~~shareholders of record as of June 15, ~~2021.~~

Shares issued as a result of awards granted from stock-based compensation plans are generally funded out of the common stock authorized for issuance as approved by the Company’s shareholders.

~~Ovintiv’s PSU and RSU stock-based compensation plans allow the Company to settle the awards either in cash or in the Company’s common stock.~~ The PSUs and RSUs are classified as equity-settled if the Company has sufficient common stock ~~reserved~~held in reserve for issuance. These awards are included in the ~~computation~~calculation of fully diluted net earnings (loss) per share of common stock if dilutive.

Ovintiv’s stock options with associated Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights (“TSARs”) give the employee the right to purchase shares of common stock of the Company or receive cash. Historically, most holders of options have elected to exercise their TSARs in exchange for a cash payment. As a result, outstanding options are not considered potentially dilutive securities.

Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership (“VMLP”) provides gathering, compression and processing services under various agreements related to the Company’s development of liquids and natural gas production in the Montney play. As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, VMLP provides approximately ~~1,167~~1,160 MMcf/d of natural gas gathering and compression and ~~925~~923 MMcf/d of natural gas processing under long-term service agreements with remaining terms ranging from 10nine to 2423 years and have various renewal terms providing up to a potential maximum of 10 years.

Ovintiv has determined that VMLP is a ~~VIE~~variable interest entity and that Ovintiv holds variable interests in VMLP. Ovintiv is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact VMLP’s economic performance. These key activities relate to the construction, operation, maintenance and marketing of the assets owned by VMLP. The variable interests arise from certain terms under the various long-term service agreements and include: i) a take or pay for volumes in certain agreements; ii) an operating fee of which a portion can be converted into a fixed fee once VMLP assumes operatorship of certain assets; and iii) a potential payout of minimum costs in certain agreements. The potential payout of minimum costs will be assessed in the eighth year of the assets’ service period and is based on whether there is an overall shortfall of total system cash flows from natural gas gathered and compressed under certain agreements. The potential payout amount can be reduced in the event VMLP markets unutilized capacity to ~~third party~~third-party users. Ovintiv is not required to provide any financial support or guarantees to VMLP.

As a result of Ovintiv’s involvement with VMLP, the maximum total exposure to loss related to the commitments under the agreements is estimated to be ~~$1,894~~$1,718 million as at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The estimate comprises the take or pay volume commitments and the potential payout of minimum costs. The take or pay volume commitments associated with certain gathering and processing assets are included in Note 2120 under Transportation and Processing. The potential payout requirement is highly uncertain as the amount is contingent on future production estimates, pace of development and the amount of capacity contracted to third parties. As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, accounts payable and accrued liabilities included ~~$0.3~~$0.2 million related to the take or pay commitment.

In June 2020, Ovintiv undertook a plan to reduce its workforce by approximately 25 percent as part of a company-wide reorganization in response to the low commodity price environment resulting from the global pandemic and the Company’s planned reductions in capital spending. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $6 million, before tax, related to severance costs. Of the $96 million in restructuring charges incurred to date, $4 million remains accrued as at March 31, 2021 ($14 million as at December 31, 2020). The majority of the remaining amounts accrued are expected to be paid in 2021 and total transition and severance costs are expected to be approximately $104 million before tax.

~~Restructuring charges are included in administrative expense presented in the Corporate and Other segment in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.~~

Ovintiv has a number of compensation arrangements under which the Company awards various types of long-term incentive grants to eligible employees and Directors. They may include TSARs, Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”), PSUs, Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) and RSUs.

Ovintiv accounts for PSUs and RSUs as equity-settled stock-based payment transactions provided there is sufficient common stock held in reserve for issuance. TSARs, SARs and DSUs are accounted for as cash-settled stock-based payment transactions. The Company accrues compensation costs over the vesting period based on the fair value of the rights determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton or other appropriate fair value models.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, Ovintiv’s Board of Directors resolved to settle certain PSU awards and RSU awards with the issuance of the Company’s common stock. Historically, the Company settled PSU and RSU awards in cash. As a result, the respective awards were modified and reclassified as equity-settled share-based payment transactions at the modification date. The modified awards accrue compensation expense using the modification date fair value of the awards over the remaining vesting period. Common stock used to settle the PSU and RSU awards will be issued from Ovintiv’s common stock authorized and held in reserve for issuance under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of TSAR and SAR units outstanding:

As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the liability for cash-settled share-based payment transactions totaled ~~$51~~$135 million ($34114 million as at December 31, ~~2020)~~2021), of which ~~$40~~$115 million ($2578 million as at December 31, ~~2020)~~2021) is recognized in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and ~~$11~~$20 million ($936 million as at December 31, ~~2020)~~2021) is recognized in other liabilities and provisions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.~~Additionally, paid in surplus includes $65 million ($71 million as at December 31, 2020) related to equity-settled share-based compensation plans.~~

The following units were granted primarily in conjunction with the Company’s annual grant of long-term incentive awards. The PSUs and RSUs were granted at the volume-weighted average trading price of shares of Ovintiv common stock for the five days prior to the grant date.

The Company has recognized total benefit plans expense which includes pension benefits and other post-employment benefits (“OPEB”) for the three months ended March 31 as follows:

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair values of restricted cash and marketable securities included in other assets approximate their carrying amounts due to the nature of the instruments held.

Recurring fair value measurements are performed for risk management assets and liabilities and other derivative contracts, as discussed further in Note ~~19.~~18. These items are carried at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are classified within the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in the following tables.

Fair value changes and settlements for amounts related to risk management assets and liabilities are recognized in revenues and foreign exchange gains and losses according to their purpose.

The Company’s Level 1 and Level 2 risk management assets and liabilities consist of commodity fixed price contracts, ~~NYMEX fixed price swaptions,~~ NYMEX three-way options, NYMEX costless collars, NYMEX call options, foreign currency swaps and basis swaps with terms to 2025. Level 2 also includes financial guarantee contracts as discussed in Note ~~19.~~18. The fair values of these contracts are estimated using inputs which are either directly or indirectly observable from active markets, such as exchange and other published prices, broker quotes and observable trading activity throughout the term of the instruments.

As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company’s Level 3 risk management assets and liabilities consist of WTI three-way options and a contingent consideration derivative contract tied to WTI ~~costless collars~~ with terms to ~~2021.~~2023. The WTI three-way options are a combination of a sold call, a bought put and a sold ~~put. The WTI costless collars are a combination of a sold call and a bought~~ put. These contracts allow the Company to participate in the upside of commodity prices to the ceiling of the call option and provide the Company with ~~complete (collars) or~~ partial ~~(three-way)~~ downside price protection through the put options. The fair values of these contracts are ~~based on the income approach and are modelled~~determined using an option pricing model using observable and unobservable inputs such as implied volatility. The unobservable inputs are obtained from third parties whenever possible and reviewed by the Company for reasonableness.

A summary of changes in Level 3 fair value measurements for risk management positions is presented below:

Quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements is presented below as at March 31, ~~2021:~~2022:

A 10 percent increase or decrease in implied volatility for the WTI options would cause an approximate corresponding $8$15 million ($615 million as at December 31, ~~2020)~~2021) increase or decrease to net risk management assets and liabilities.

Ovintiv’s financial assets and liabilities are recognized in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, risk management assets and liabilities, long-term debt, and other liabilities and provisions.

Ovintiv uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to cash flow variability from commodity prices and fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, gains and losses from changes in the fair value are recognized in net ~~earnings.~~earnings (loss).

Commodity price risk arises from the effect that fluctuations in future commodity prices may have on future cash flows. To partially mitigate exposure to commodity price risk, the Company has entered into various derivative financial instruments. The use of these derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors.

~~Crude~~ Oil and NGLs - To partially mitigate ~~crude~~ oil and NGL commodity price risk, the Company uses ~~WTI-based~~WTI- and NGL-based contracts such as fixed price contracts ~~options~~ and ~~costless collars.~~options. Ovintiv has also entered into basis swaps to manage against widening price differentials between various production areas, products and ~~benchmark~~ price points.

Natural Gas - To partially mitigate natural gas commodity price risk, the Company uses NYMEX-based contracts such as fixed price contracts, ~~fixed price swaptions,~~ options and costless collars. Ovintiv has also entered into basis swaps to manage against widening price differentials between various production areas and benchmark price points.

Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial assets or liabilities. To partially mitigate the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on future commodity revenues and expenses, the Company may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts. As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company has entered into ~~$263~~$300 million notional U.S. dollar denominated currency swaps at an average exchange rate of C$~~1.3720~~1.2848 to US$1, which mature monthly through the remainder of ~~2021.~~2022.

Credit risk arises from the potential that the Company may incur a loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligation in accordance with agreed terms. While exchange-traded contracts are subject to nominal credit risk due to the financial safeguards established by the ~~NYSE~~exchanges and ~~the TSX,~~clearing agencies, over-the-counter traded contracts expose Ovintiv to counterparty credit risk. Counterparties to the Company’s derivative financial instruments consist primarily of major financial institutions and companies within the energy industry. This credit risk exposure is mitigated through the use of credit policies approved by the Board of Directors governing the Company’s credit portfolio including credit practices that limit transactions according to counterparties’ credit quality. Mitigation strategies may include master netting arrangements, requesting collateral, purchasing credit insurance and/or transacting credit derivatives. The Company executes commodity derivative financial instruments under master agreements that have netting provisions that provide for offsetting payables against receivables. Ovintiv actively evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, assigns appropriate credit limits and monitors credit exposures against those assigned limits. As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, Ovintiv’s maximum exposure of loss due to credit risk from derivative financial instrument assets on a gross and net fair value basis was ~~$96~~$61 million and ~~$16~~$12 million, respectively, as disclosed in Note ~~18.~~17. The Company had 0 significant credit derivatives in place and held 0 collateral at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, cash equivalents include high-grade, short-term securities, placed primarily with financial institutions with strong investment grade ratings. Any foreign currency agreements entered into are with major financial institutions that have investment grade credit ratings.

A substantial portion of the Company’s accounts receivable are with customers and working interest owners in the oil and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, approximately 9288 percent ~~(89~~(90 percent as at December 31, ~~2020)~~2021) of Ovintiv’s accounts receivable and financial derivative credit exposures were with investment grade counterparties.

During 2015 and 2017, the Company entered into agreements resulting from divestitures, which may require Ovintiv to fulfill certain payment obligations on the take or pay volume commitments assumed by the purchasers. The circumstances that would require Ovintiv to perform under the agreements include events where a purchaser fails to make payment to the guaranteed party and/or a purchaser is subject to an insolvency event. The agreements ~~have remaining terms of less than four years~~expire in June 2024 with a fair value recognized of $6 million as at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 ($86 million as at December 31, ~~2020)~~2021). The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments is ~~$76~~$51 million as at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, and is considered unlikely.

Ovintiv is involved in various legal claims and actions arising in the normal course of the Company’s operations. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on Ovintiv’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Management’s assessment of these matters may change in the future as certain of these matters are in early stages or are subject to a number of uncertainties. For material matters that the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, the Company discloses the nature

and a range of potential exposures. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material impact on the Company’s consolidated net earnings or loss for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on the Company’s information known about the matters, estimates of the outcomes of such matters and experience in handling similar matters.

On May 9, 2022, Ovintiv issued a notice to the trustee to redeem the Company’s $1,000 million, 5.625 percent senior notes due July 1, 2024. The Company expects to use cash on hand and other existing sources of liquidity to complete the senior note redemptions on June 10, 2022.

The oil and gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are inherently volatile. Oil prices reflect global supply and demand dynamics as well as the geopolitical and macroeconomic environment.

During the first quarter of 2022, oil prices have seen significant upward pressures mainly caused by continued OPEC+ production restraint, increasing global demand for oil and supply uncertainties resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Global sanctions on Russian oil may continue to impact market supply and further increase upward pressure on prices.

Oil prices ~~during 2021~~for the remainder of 2022 will continue to be impacted by the ~~global containment~~evolution of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”), ~~pace~~the resiliency of ~~economic recovery,~~the global economy and supply chain constraints, OPEC+ production levels, ~~and~~ the ~~potential for higher~~pace of recovering U.S. production. The distribution of COVID-19 vaccines continues to drive economic optimism and oil demand as countries cautiously reopen their economies. Upward pressures on oil prices and the tightening of global oil inventories during the first quarter were mainly caused by ongoing OPEC+ production, ~~cuts,~~ as well as ~~severe winter weather conditions in Texas~~the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Markets for ~~crude~~ oil and natural gas are exposed to different price risks and are inherently volatile. While the market price for ~~crude~~ oil tends to move in the same direction as the global market, regional differentials may develop. Natural gas prices may vary between geographic regions depending on local supply and demand conditions. To mitigate price volatility and ~~help sustain revenues, particularly during periods of low commodity prices,~~provide certainty around cash flows, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments. As at April ~~19, 2021,~~15, 2022, the Company has hedged approximately ~~131.7~~80.0 Mbbls/d of expected ~~crude~~ oil and condensate production and ~~1,143~~1,297 MMcf/d of expected natural gas production for the remainder of the year. In addition, Ovintiv proactively utilizes transportation contracts to diversify the Company’s sales markets, thereby reducing significant exposure to any given market and regional pricing.

Additional information on Ovintiv’s hedging program can be found in Note 1918 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company has commenced its ~~$1.5 billion 2021~~2022 capital investment program, the majority of which is allocated to the Core Assets, with a focus on maximizing returns from high margin liquids and minimizing inflation to optimize cash flows. During the first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, the Company ~~spent $350~~invested $451 million, which exceeded first quarter guidance range of ~~which $179~~$425 million ~~was~~to $440 million primarily due to timing of projects and nominal cost pressures. Of the $451 million in capital expenditures, the Company directed $173 million to Permian, ~~$64~~$111 million ~~was directed~~ to Anadarko, ~~$89~~$78 million ~~was directed~~ to Montney, ~~and~~with the remainder ~~was~~primarily directed to other upstream assets.

In May 2022, Ovintiv ~~will continue~~updated its full year 2022 capital investment guidance to ~~evaluate~~a range of $1.7 billion to $1.8 billion.

Ovintiv's large-scale cube development model utilizes multi-well pads and advanced completion designs to maximize returns and resource recovery from its reservoirs. ~~The impact of~~ Ovintiv’s disciplined capital program and continuous innovation create flexibility to allocate capital in changing commodity markets to minimize inflation and to maximize cash flows while preserving the long-term value of the Company’s multi-basin portfolio.

Ovintiv is strategically positioned in the current environment to maintain a flat liquids production profile while generating significant cash flows in excess of capital expenditures.

During the first quarter of 2022, average liquids production volumes were 252.1 Mbbls/d and were within first quarter guidance of 251.0 Mbbls/d to 259.0 Mbbls/d. Average oil and plant condensate production volumes were 172.9 Mbbls/d and other NGLs were 79.2 Mbbls/d. Average natural gas production volumes were 1,487 MMcf/d and exceeded first quarter guidance of 1,430 MMcf/d to 1,480 MMcf/d.

The Company is on track to meet its updated full year 2022 guidance range for oil and plant condensate production volumes of approximately 180.0 Mbbls/d to 185.0 Mbbls/d. The update to the guidance range decreased primarily due to higher royalties in the Canadian Operations resulting from the higher commodity price environment, operational delays during the first quarter of 2022 and adverse weather impacts. The Company is also on track to meet its full year 2022 guidance ranges for natural gas production volumes of approximately 1,450 MMcf/d to 1,500 MMcf/d and other NGLs production volumes of approximately 78.0 Mbbls/d to 82.0 Mbbls/d.

With rising activity in the oil and gas industry and strengthening of commodity prices, service and supply costs are expected to continue to increase. Ovintiv continues to pursue innovative ways to reduce upstream operating and administrative

Ovintiv is strategically positioned in the current economic environment to maintain a flat liquids production profile while generating cash flows in excess of capital expenditures. During the first quarter of 2021, average liquids production volumes were 275.6 Mbbls/d, or 51 percent of total production volumes, and average oil and plant condensate production volumes were 197.9 Mbbls/d, or 72 percent of total liquids production volumes.~~Average natural gas production volumes were 1,576 MMcf/d, or 49 percent of total production volumes.~~As a result of the recently announced divestitures, the Company updated its full year 2021 guidance for oil and plant condensate production volumes to approximately 190.0 Mbbls/d from the original guidance of 200.0 Mbbls/d. The Company is on track to maintaining average other NGLs production volumes of approximately 80.0 Mbbls/d and natural gas production volumes of approximately 1,550 MMcf/d throughout 2021.

The Company will continue to benefit from cost savings measures implemented in 2020 which included workforce reductions and operating efficiencies.

Ovintiv’s revenues are substantially derived from sales of oil, NGLs and natural gas production. Increases or decreases in Ovintiv’s revenue, profitability and future production are highly dependent on the commodity prices the Company receives. Prices are market driven and fluctuate due to factors beyond the Company’s control, such as supply and demand, seasonality and geopolitical and economic factors. The USA Operations realized prices generally reflect WTI and NYMEX benchmark prices, as well as other downstream oil benchmarks, including Houston. The Canadian Operations realized prices are linked to Edmonton Condensate and AECO, as well as other downstream natural gas benchmarks, including Dawn. The other downstream benchmarks reflect the diversification of the Company’s markets. Recent trends in benchmark prices relevant to the Company are shown in the table below.

DD&A decreased ~~$226~~$44 million compared to the first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to:

The depletion rate in the ~~USA~~Canadian Operations decreased ~~$5.42~~$1.25 per BOE compared to the first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to higher reserve volumes and the ~~ceiling test impairments recognized in 2020, resulting in a lower depletable base. The depletion rate~~sale of the Duvernay assets in the ~~Canadian Operations decreased $1.05 per BOE, compared to the first~~second quarter of ~~2020 primarily due to a lower depletable base.~~

Under full cost accounting, the carrying amount of Ovintiv’s oil and natural gas properties within each country cost centre is subject to a ceiling test performed quarterly. Ceiling test impairments are recognized when the capitalized costs, net of accumulated depletion and the related deferred income taxes, exceed the sum of the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves as calculated under SEC requirements using the 12‑month average trailing prices and discounted at 10 percent. The 12-month average trailing price is calculated as the average of the price on the first day of each month within the trailing 12-month period.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company did not recognize ceiling test impairments (2020 - $277 million, before tax, in the USA Operations). The non-cash ceiling test impairments in 2020 primarily resulted from the decline in the 12-month average trailing prices, which reduced proved reserves.

The 12-month average trailing prices used in the ceiling test calculations were based on the benchmark prices below. The benchmark prices were adjusted for basis differentials to determine local reference prices, transportation costs and tariffs, heat content and quality.

The Company believes that the discounted after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves required to be used in the ceiling test calculation are not indicative of the fair market value of Ovintiv’s oil and natural gas properties or the future net cash flows expected to be generated from such properties. The discounted after-tax future net cash flows do not consider the fair market value of unamortized unproved properties, or probable or possible liquids and natural gas reserves. In addition, there is no consideration given to the effect of future changes in commodity prices. Ovintiv manages its business using estimates of reserves and resources based on forecast prices and costs. Additional information on the ceiling test calculation can be found in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in ~~Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q~~.2021.

Administrative expense represents costs associated with corporate functions provided by Ovintiv staff. Costs primarily include salaries and benefits, operating lease, office, information technology, restructuring and long-term incentive costs.

In the first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, Ovintiv recorded ana lower income tax recovery of ~~$176~~$171 million compared to ~~an income tax expense of $140 million in 2020,~~2021, primarily due to the resolution of ~~certain~~prior years’ tax items ~~relating to prior taxation years and the reduction~~recognized in ~~valuation allowances resulting from current year net earnings before tax.~~2021.

Ovintiv’s interim income tax expense is determined using the estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year‑to‑date net earnings before income tax plus the effect of legislative changes and amounts in respect of prior periods. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is impacted by expected annual earnings, changes in valuation allowances, ~~state taxes,~~ income tax related to foreign operations, state taxes, the effect of legislative changes, non-taxable ~~capital gains and losses,~~items and tax differences on ~~divestitures and~~ transactions, which can produce interim effective tax rate fluctuations.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 2.0 percent for the first quarter of 2022, which is lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to a lower annual effective income tax rate resulting from a reduction in valuation allowances.

The Company’s effective tax rate was (132.3) percent infor the first quarter of 2021, which iswas lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to the resolution of ~~certain~~prior years’ tax items ~~relating to prior taxation years~~ and the ~~reduction~~change in valuation allowances ~~recorded~~ relating to ~~current year~~ net earnings before tax.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 25 percent in the first quarter of 2020, is higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to state taxes and foreign jurisdictional tax rates relative to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate applied to jurisdictional earnings.

The determination of income and other tax liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries requires interpretation of complex domestic and foreign tax laws and regulations, that are subject to change. The Company’s interpretation of ~~taxation~~tax laws may

differ from the interpretation of the tax authorities. As a result, there are tax matters under review for which the timing of resolution is uncertain. The Company believes that the provision for income taxes is adequate.

Additional information on income taxes can be found in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company has the flexibility to access cash equivalents and a range of funding alternatives at competitive rates through committed revolving credit facilities as well as debt and equity capital markets. Ovintiv closely monitors the accessibility of cost-effective credit and ensures that sufficient liquidity is in place to fund capital expenditures and dividend payments. In addition, the Company may use cash and cash equivalents, cash from operating activities, or proceeds from asset divestitures to fund its operations or to manage its capital structure as discussed below. At March 31, 2022, $196 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by Canadian subsidiaries. The cash held by Canadian subsidiaries is accessible and may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and Canadian withholding taxes if repatriated.

The Company’s capital structure consists of total shareholders’ equity plus long-term debt, including any current portion. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility to preserve Ovintiv’s access to capital markets and its ability to meet financial obligations and finance internally generated growth, as well as potential acquisitions. Ovintiv has a practice of maintaining capital discipline and strategically managing its capital structure by adjusting capital spending, adjusting dividends paid to ~~stockholders,~~shareholders, issuing new shares of common stock, purchasing shares of common stock for cancellation, issuing new debt and repaying or repurchasing existing debt.

~~The~~During the first quarter of 2022, the Company ~~has~~had access to two committed revolving U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities totaling $4.0 billion, which ~~include~~included a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility for Ovintiv Inc. and a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility for a Canadian subsidiary ~~both maturing in July 2024.~~(collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities provide financial flexibility and allow the Company to fund its operations or capital investment program. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, there were no outstanding amounts under the revolving Credit Facilities.

In March, the Company commenced negotiations to amend and restate its committed revolving Credit Facilities. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company has access to two committed revolving U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities totaling $3.5 billion, which include a $2.2 billion revolving credit facility for Ovintiv Inc. and a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility for ~~the~~a Canadian subsidiary.

~~Ovintiv currently has~~ Maturity dates for both ~~investment~~credit facilities have been extended to July 2026 and ~~non-investment grade credit ratings and~~the Company has full access to these Credit Facilities.

During the first quarter of 2022, Ovintiv’s credit rating was upgraded to investment grade by one of its ~~Credit Facilities~~credit rating agencies driven by Ovintiv’s significant debt reductions and ~~U.S. CP programs. Reductions in~~improved commodity price assumptions used by the ~~Company’s~~rating agency. All of Ovintiv’s credit ratings ~~could increase the cost of short-term borrowings on the existing Credit Facilities or other sources of liquidity and limit access to the Company’s commercial paper program.~~are investment grade as at March 31, 2022.

Depending on the Company’s credit rating and market demand, the Company may issue from its two U.S. CPcommercial paper (“U.S. CP”) programs, which include a $1.5 billion program for Ovintiv Inc. and a $1.0 billion program for a Canadian subsidiary. As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had ~~approximately $490 million of~~no commercial paper outstanding ~~under~~and continues to have full access to its U.S. CP ~~programs with an average remaining term of approximately 45 days and a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.03 percent, which is supported by the Company’s Credit Facilities.~~programs.

The Credit Facilities, uncommitted demand lines, and cash and cash equivalents provide Ovintiv with total liquidity of approximately ~~$3.8 billion.~~$4.6 billion as at March 31, 2022. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, Ovintiv also had approximately ~~$61~~$28 million in undrawn letters of credit issued in the normal course of business primarily as collateral security, related to transportation arrangements and to support

future abandonment liabilities. ~~Reductions in the Company’s credit ratings could trigger additional collateral requirements to support existing agreements and such amounts could be material.~~

Ovintiv has a U.S. shelf registration statement and a Canadian shelf prospectus, under which the Company may issue from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, units, share purchase contracts and share purchase units in the U.S. and/or Canada. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, $6.0 billion remained accessible under the Canadian shelf prospectus. The Canadian shelf prospectus expired in April 2022 and the U.S. shelf registration statement expires in March 2023. The ability to issue securities under the U.S. shelf registration statement ~~or Canadian shelf prospectus~~ is dependent upon market conditions and securities law requirements.

Ovintiv is currently in compliance with, and expects that it will continue to be in compliance with, all financial covenants under the Credit Facilities. Management monitors Debt to Adjusted Capitalization, which is a non-GAAP measure defined in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A, as a proxy for Ovintiv’s financial covenant under the Credit Facilities, which requires Debt to Adjusted Capitalization to be less than 60 percent. As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company’s Debt to Adjusted Capitalization was 3528 percent. The definitions used in the covenant under the Credit Facilities adjust capitalization for cumulative historical ceiling test impairments recorded in conjunction with the Company’s January 1, 2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP. ~~Ovintiv does not expect the current COVID-19 pandemic to impact the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Facilities.~~ Additional information on financial covenants can be found in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

In the first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, Ovintiv primarily generated cash through operating activities. The following table summarizes the sources and uses of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.

Net cash from operating activities in the first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$827~~$685 million and was primarily a reflection of the impacts from higher average realized commodity prices, partially offset by the effects of the commodity price mitigation program and changes in non‑cash working capital.

Additional detail on changes in non-cash working capital can be found in Note 2019 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Ovintiv expects it will continue to meet the payment terms of its suppliers.

Non-GAAP Cash Flow in the first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$890~~$1,043 million and was primarily impacted by the items affecting cash from operating activities which are discussed below and in the Results of Operations section of this MD&A.

Divestitures in the first quarter of 2021 were $2 million (2020 - $22 million), which primarily included the sale of certain properties that did not complement Ovintiv’s existing portfolio of assets.

Capital expenditures and acquisition and divestiture activity are summarized in Notes 2 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net cash used in financing activities has been impacted by the Company’s strategy to enhance liquidity, strengthen its balance sheet by repaying or repurchasing existing debt, and returning value to ~~stockholders~~shareholders by purchasing shares of common stock and paying dividends.

Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of ~~2021 was $507~~2022 decreased by $314 million compared to ~~net cash from financing activities of $9 million in 2020.~~2021. The ~~change~~decrease was primarily due to a net repayment of revolving long-term debt in 2021 ($460 million) ~~compared to a net issuance in 2020 ($144 million)~~, partially offset by ~~open market repurchases~~purchases of ~~long-term debt~~shares of common stock under the NCIB ($71 million) and an increase in ~~2020~~dividend payments in 2022 ($8928 million) ~~as discussed below.~~.

From time to time, Ovintiv may seek to retire or purchase the Company’s outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other debt or equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.In the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased approximately $6 million in principal amount of its 5.15 percent senior notes due in November 2041 in the open market. The aggregate cash payments related to the note repurchases were $6 million, plus accrued interest.

The Company’s long-term debt ~~including the current portion of $1,118 million,~~ totaled ~~$6,418~~$4,775 million at March 31, ~~2021. The Company’s long-term debt~~2022 and $4,786 million at December 31, ~~2020 totaled $6,885 million, which included the~~2021.

This represents an increase of 25 percent to the annualized dividend payment.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~Dividends increased $28 million compared to 2021, as a result of Ovintiv increasing its quarterly dividend payments to an annualized dividend of $0.80 per share of common stock during the first quarter of 2022 as part of the Company’s commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

On September 28, 2021, Ovintiv announced it received regulatory approval to commence a NCIB that enables the Company to purchase, for cancellation, up to approximately 26 million shares of common stock over a 12-month period from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The number of shares authorized for purchase represent approximately 10 percent of Ovintiv’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as at September 20, 2021. The Company is funding the NCIB through its capital allocation framework. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company purchased for cancellation, approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock for total consideration of approximately $71 million.

Subsequent to the NCIB announced in 2021, Ovintiv obtained an exemption order on March 9, 2022 from the Canadian securities regulators, which permits Ovintiv to make repurchases for up to 36 months from the date of the order, under its current and any future NCIB, through the New York Stock Exchange and other United States-based trading systems in excess of the maximum allowable purchases under applicable Canadian securities laws. This exemption effectively allows Ovintiv to purchase up to 10 percent of its public float on U.S. markets under its normal course issuer bids. Without the exemption, this amount would be limited to five percent of Ovintiv’s outstanding common stock under applicable Canadian securities law. For additional details on this exemption order, including the conditions upon which the order was granted, refer to Part II, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

For information on ~~off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions,~~material cash requirements, refer to the ~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~Material Cash Requirements section of the MD&A included in Item 7 of the ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For information on commitments and contingencies, refer to Note 2120 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Certain measures in this document 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 issuers and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP. These measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by Ovintiv to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. Non-GAAP measures include: Non-GAAP Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Cash Flow Margin, Total Costs, Debt to Adjusted Capitalization, Net Debt and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Management’s use of these measures is discussed further below.

Non-GAAP Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash from (used in) operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, net change in non-cash working capital and current tax on sale of assets.

Non-GAAP Cash Flow Margin is a non-GAAP measure defined as Non-GAAP 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 an indication of the Company’s ability to generate cash to finance capital investment 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.

Total Costs is a non-GAAP measure which includes the summation of production, mineral and other taxes, upstream transportation and processing expense, upstream operating expense and administrative expense, excluding the impact of long-term incentive, ~~costs,~~ restructuring and legal costs, and current expected credit losses. It is calculated as total operating expenses excluding non-upstream operating costs and non-cash items which include operating expenses from the Market Optimization and Corporate and Other segments, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairments, accretion of asset retirement obligation, long-term incentive, ~~costs,~~ restructuring and legal costs, and current expected credit losses. When presented on a per BOE basis, Total Costs is divided by production volumes. Management believes this measure is useful to the Company and its investors as a measure of operational efficiency across periods.

Debt to Adjusted Capitalization is a non-GAAP measure which 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 the Company’s financial covenant under the Credit Facilities 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.

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about Ovintiv’s potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the Company’s risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil, NGL and natural gas prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The following disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. The forward-looking information provides indicators of how the Company views and manages ongoing market risk exposures.

Commodity price risk arises from the effect fluctuations in future commodity prices, including oil, NGLs and natural gas, may have on future revenues, expenses and cash flows. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to the Company’s natural gas production. Pricing for oil, NGLs and natural gas production is volatile and unpredictable as discussed in Part 1, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q~~10‑Q in the Executive Overview section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10‑K. To partially mitigate exposure to commodity price risk, the Company may enter into various derivative financial instruments including futures, forwards, swaps, options and costless collars. The use of these derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors and may vary from time to time. Both exchange traded and over-the-counter traded derivative instruments may be subject to margin-deposit requirements, and the Company may be required from time to time to deposit cash or provide letters of credit with exchange brokers or counterparties to satisfy these margin requirements. For additional information relating to the Company’s derivative and financial instruments, see Note 1918 under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q.~~10‑Q.

The table below summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s risk management positions to fluctuations in commodity prices, with all other variables held constant. The Company has used a 10 percent variability to assess the potential impact of commodity price changes. Fluctuations in commodity prices could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting pre-tax net earnings as follows:

	March 31, 2021					March 31, 2022
(US$ millions)	10% Price Increase			10% Price Decrease		10% Price Increase			10% Price Decrease

Crude oil price	$	(188	)	$	174	$	(218	)	$	207
NGL price		(16	)		16
Natural gas price		(94	)		77		(209	)		207

Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial assets or liabilities. As Ovintiv operates primarily in the United States and Canada, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars can have a significant effect on the Company’s reported results.

The table below summarizes selected foreign exchange impacts on Ovintiv’s financial results when compared to the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

					$ millions		$/BOE
	$ millions		$/BOE

Capital Investment	$	9			$	-

Operating Expense ⁽¹⁾		1		0.03		-		-
Administrative Expense		2		0.03		-		-
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization ⁽¹⁾		7		0.14		-		-

Foreign exchange gains and losses also arise when monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated and settled, and primarily include:

To partially mitigate the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on future commodity revenues and expenses, the Company may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts. As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, Ovintiv has entered into ~~$263~~$300 million notional U.S. dollar denominated currency swaps at an average exchange rate of C$~~1.3720~~1.2848 to US$1, which mature monthly through the remainder of ~~2021.~~2022.

As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, Ovintiv ~~had $55 million in~~did not have any U.S. dollar ~~finance lease obligations~~denominated financing debt issued from Canada or foreign denominated intercompany loans that were subject to foreign exchange exposure.

The table below summarizes the sensitivity to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, with all other variables held constant. The Company has used a 10 percent variability to assess the potential impact from Canadian to U.S. foreign currency exchange rate changes. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting pre-tax net earnings as follows:

	March 31, 2021					March 31, 2022
(US$ millions)	10% Rate Increase			10% Rate Decrease		10% Rate Increase			10% Rate Decrease

Foreign currency exchange	$	(18	)	$	22	$	(75	)	$	92

Interest rate risk arises from changes in market interest rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows from the Company’s financial assets or liabilities. The Company may partially mitigate its exposure to interest rate changes by holding a mix of both fixed and floating rate debt and may also enter into interest rate derivatives to partially mitigate effects of fluctuations in market interest rates.

As at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, Ovintiv had no floating rate ~~revolving credit~~debt and ~~term loan borrowings of $490 million. Accordingly, on a before-tax basis, the sensitivity for each one percent change in~~there were no interest ~~rates on floating~~ rate ~~revolving credit and term loan borrowings was $5 million.~~derivatives outstanding.

Ovintiv’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the ~~Securities~~ Exchange ~~Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”).~~Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

There were no changes in Ovintiv’s internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Please refer to Item 3 of the ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10‑K and Note 2120 of Ovintiv’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q.~~10‑Q.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10‑K.

On September 28, 2021, the Company announced it had received regulatory approval to purchase, for cancellation, up to approximately 26 million shares of common stock pursuant to a NCIB over a 12-month period from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The number of shares of common stock authorized for purchase represents 10 percent of Ovintiv’s public float as at September 20, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock for total consideration of approximately $71 million at a weighted average price of $40.57. The following table presents the common shares purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

On March 9, 2022, Ovintiv obtained an exemption order (the “NCIB Exemption”) from the Alberta Securities Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission, which permits Ovintiv to make repurchases (the “Proposed Bids”), under its current and any future normal course issuer bids, through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange and other United States-based trading systems (collectively, “U.S. Markets”) in excess of the maximum allowable purchases under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The NCIB Exemption applies to any Proposed Bid commenced within 36 months of the date of the exemption order and is subject to several other conditions, including that Ovintiv remain a U.S. and SEC foreign issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws. The purchases of common stock under a Proposed Bid must also be made in compliance with other applicable Canadian securities laws and applicable U.S. rules. Additionally, the NCIB Exemption imposed restrictions on the number of shares of common stock that may be acquired under the exemption, including that: (a) Ovintiv may not acquire common stock in reliance upon the exemption under subsection 4.8(3) of Canadian National Instrument 62-104 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids (“NI 62-104”) from the requirements applicable to issuer bids (the “Other Published Markets Exemption”) if the aggregate number of shares of common stock purchased by Ovintiv, and any person or company acting jointly or in concert with Ovintiv, in reliance on the NCIB Exemption and the Other Published Markets Exemption within any period of 12 months exceeds 5% of the outstanding common stock on the first day of such 12-month period; and (b) the aggregate number of shares of common stock purchased pursuant to (i) a Proposed Bid in reliance on the NCIB Exemption; (ii) exempt issuer bid purchases made in the normal course through the facilities of the TSX; and (iii) the Other Published Markets Exemption does not exceed, over the 12-month period of its current NCIB, 10% of Ovintiv's public float. As a result, the NCIB Exemption effectively allows Ovintiv to purchase up to 10% of its public float on U.S. Markets under its NCIB.

Without the NCIB Exemption this amount would be limited to 5% of Ovintiv’s outstanding common stock under applicable Canadian securities law.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
