1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SEGMENTED DISCLOSURES
Cenovus Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries, (together “Cenovus” or the “Company”) are in the business of developing, producing and marketing crude oil, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and natural gas in Canada with marketing activities and refining operations in the United States (“U.S.”).
Cenovus is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and its shares are listed on the Toronto (“TSX”) and New York (“NYSE”) stock exchanges. The executive and registered office is located at 2600, 500 Centre Street S.E., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2G 1A6. Information on the Company’s basis of preparation for these interim Consolidated Financial Statements is found in Note 2.
Management has determined the operating segments based on information regularly reviewed for the purposes of decision making, allocating resources and assessing operational performance by Cenovus’s chief operating decision makers. The Company evaluates the financial performance of its operating segments primarily based on operating margin. The Company’s reportable segments are:
| • | Oil Sands, which includes the development and production of bitumen and natural gas in northeast Alberta. Cenovus’s bitumen assets include Foster Creek, Christina Lake and Narrows Lake as well as other projects in the early stages of development. The Company’s interest in certain of its operated oil sands properties, notably Foster Creek, Christina Lake and Narrows Lake, increased from 50 percent to 100 percent on May 17, 2017. |
| • | Deep Basin, which includes approximately three million net acres of land primarily in the Elmworth‑Wapiti, Kaybob-Edson, and Clearwater operating areas, rich in natural gas and NGLs. The assets reside in Alberta and British Columbia and include interests in numerous natural gas processing facilities. These assets were acquired on May 17, 2017. |
| • | Refining and Marketing, which is responsible for transporting, selling and refining crude oil into petroleum and chemical products. Cenovus jointly owns two refineries in the U.S. with the operator Phillips 66, an unrelated U.S. public company. In addition, Cenovus owns and operates a crude-by-rail terminal in Alberta. This segment coordinates Cenovus’s marketing and transportation initiatives to optimize product mix, delivery points, transportation commitments and customer diversification. The marketing of crude oil and natural gas sourced from Canada, including physical product sales that settle in the U.S., is considered to be undertaken by a Canadian business. U.S. sourced crude oil and natural gas purchases and sales are attributed to the U.S. |
| • | Corporate and Eliminations, which primarily includes unrealized gains and losses recorded on derivative financial instruments, gains and losses on divestiture of assets, as well as other Cenovus-wide costs for general and administrative, financing activities and research costs. As financial instruments are settled, the realized gains and losses are recorded in the reportable segment to which the derivative instrument relates. Eliminations include adjustments for internal usage of natural gas production between segments, crude oil production used as feedstock by the Refining and Marketing segment, and unrealized intersegment profits in inventory. Eliminations are recorded at transfer prices based on current market prices. The Corporate and Eliminations segment is attributed to Canada, with the exception of unrealized risk management gains and losses, which have been attributed to the country in which the transacting entity resides. |
In 2017, the Company announced its intention to divest of its Conventional segment that included its heavy oil assets at Pelican Lake, the CO2 enhanced oil recovery project at Weyburn and conventional crude oil, NGLs and natural gas assets in the Suffield and Palliser areas in southern Alberta. As such, the associated results of operations have been reported as a discontinued operation (see Note 8). As at January 5, 2018, all of the Company’s Conventional assets were sold.
The following tabular financial information presents the segmented information first by segment, then by product and geographic location.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
In these interim Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollars are expressed in Canadian dollars. All references to C$ or $ are to Canadian dollars and references to US$ are to U.S. dollars.
These interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”), and have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except as identified in Note 3 and for income taxes. Income taxes on earnings or loss in the interim periods are accrued using the income tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings or loss.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
These interim Consolidated Financial Statements were approved by the Audit Committee effective July 25, 2018.
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) Adoption of IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”), which replaced IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (“IAS 39”). The Company applied the new standard retrospectively and, in accordance with the transitional provisions, comparative figures have not been restated. The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
The nature and effects of the key changes to the Company’s accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are summarized below.
Classification of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale are eliminated. IFRS 9 bases the classification of financial assets on the contractual cash flow characteristics and the company’s business model for managing the financial asset. Additionally, embedded derivatives are not separated if the host contract is a financial asset within the scope of IFRS 9. Instead, the entire hybrid contract is assessed for classification and measurement.
IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification of financial liabilities. The differences between the two standards did not impact the Company at the time of transition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
All amounts in $ millions, unless otherwise indicated
For the period ended June 30, 2018
Impairment of Financial Assets
IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with an ‘expected credit loss’ (“ECL”) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt investments measured at FVOCI. Under IFRS 9, credit losses will be recognized earlier than under IAS 39.
The ECL model applies to the Company’s receivables. As at June 30, 2018, over 90 percent of the Company’s trade accounts receivable were investment grade, and 99 percent were outstanding for less than 60 days. The average expected credit loss on the Company’s trade accounts receivable was 0.2 percent as at June 30, 2018.
Transition
On January 1, 2018, the Company:
| • | Identified the business model used to manage its financial assets and classified its financial instruments into the appropriate IFRS 9 category; |
| • | Designated certain investments in private equity instruments, that were previously classified as available for sale, as FVOCI; and |
| • | Applied the ECL model to financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost. |
The classification and measurement of financial instruments under IFRS 9 did not have a material impact on the Company’s opening retained earnings as at January 1, 2018. In addition, the application of the ECL model to financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost did not result in a material adjustment on transition.
The following table shows the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 as at January 1, 2018 for each class of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company has no contract assets or debt investments measured at FVOCI.

(1) | There were no adjustments to the carrying amounts of financial instruments as a result of the change in classification from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. |
B) Adoption of IFRS 15, “Revenues From Contracts With Customers”
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (“IFRS 15”) replacing IAS 11, “Construction Contracts”, IAS 18, “Revenue” and several revenue-related interpretations. Cenovus adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective with cumulative effect approach using the following practical expedients:
| • | Electing to apply the standard retrospectively only to contracts that were not completed contracts on January 1, 2018; and |
| • | For modified contracts, evaluating the original contract together with any contract modifications at the date of initial application. |
The adoption of IFRS 15 did not materially impact the timing or measurement of revenue. However, IFRS 15 contains new disclosure requirements.
C) Update to Significant Accounting Policies
Financial Instruments
The Company applied IFRS 9 retrospectively, but elected not to restate comparative information. As such, the comparative information provided continues to be accounted for in accordance with the Company’s previous accounting policy found in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The following accounting policy is applicable from January 1, 2018:
Financial instruments are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are not offset unless the Company has the current legal right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or settle the asset and liability simultaneously.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
All amounts in $ millions, unless otherwise indicated
For the period ended June 30, 2018
The Company characterizes its fair value measurements into a three-level hierarchy depending on the degree to which the inputs are observable, as follows:
| • | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; |
| • | Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and |
| • | Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets
The initial classification of a financial asset depends upon the Company’s business model for managing its financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classified its financial assets:
| • | Amortized Cost: Includes assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest; |
| • | FVOCI: Includes assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, where its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest; or |
| • | FVTPL: Includes assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI and are measured at fair value through profit or loss. This includes all derivative financial assets. |
On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that meets the amortized cost or FVOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held-for-trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value changes to earnings following the derecognition of the investment. However, dividends that reflect a return on investment continue to be recognized in net earnings. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value and, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, including transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are recorded as an expense in net earnings.
Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition only if the business model for managing those financial assets changes. The affected financial assets will be reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances for ECLs on its financial assets measured at amortized cost. Due to the nature of its financial assets, Cenovus measures loss allowances at an amount equal to expected lifetime ECLs. Lifetime ECLs are the anticipated ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial asset. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the related financial asset. The Company does not have any financial assets that contain a financing component.
Classification and Measurement of Financial Liabilities
A financial liability is initially classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as measured at FVTPL if it is held-for-trading, a derivative, or designated as FVTPL on initial recognition. The classification of a financial liability is irrevocable.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL (other than financial liabilities designated at FVTPL) are measured at fair value with changes in fair value, along with any interest expense, recognized in net earnings. Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in net earnings. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in net earnings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

For the period ended June 30, 2018
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same counterparty with substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, it is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. When the terms of an existing financial liability are altered, but the changes are considered non-substantial, it is accounted for as a modification to the existing financial liability. Where a liability is substantially modified it is considered to be extinguished and a gain or loss is recognized in net earnings based on the difference between the carrying amount of the liability derecognized and the fair value of the revised liability. Where a liability is modified in a non-substantial way, the amortized cost of the liability is remeasured based on the new cash flows and a gain or loss is recorded in net earnings.
Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments are used to manage economic exposure to market risks relating to commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Policies and procedures are in place with respect to required documentation and approvals for the use of derivative financial instruments. Where specific financial instruments are executed, the Company assesses, both at the time of purchase and on an ongoing basis, whether the financial instrument used in the particular transaction is effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the transaction.
Risk management assets and liabilities are derivative financial instruments classified as measured at FVTPL unless designated for hedge accounting. Derivative instruments that do not qualify as hedges, or are not designated as hedges, are recorded using mark-to-market accounting whereby instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either an asset or liability with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings as a gain or loss on risk management. The estimated fair value of all derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices or, in their absence, third-party market indications and forecasts.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Cenovus recognizes revenue when it transfers control of the product or service to a customer, which is generally when title passes from the Company to its customer.
Purchases and sales of products that are entered into in contemplation of each other with the same counterparty are recorded on a net basis. Revenues associated with services provided as agent are recorded as the services are provided.
Cenovus recognizes revenue from the following major products and services:
| • | Sale of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs; |
| • | Sale of petroleum and refined products; |
| • | Marketing and transportation services; and |
| • | Fee-for-service hydrocarbon trans-loading services. |
The Company satisfies its performance obligations in contracts with customers upon the delivery of crude oil, natural gas, NGLs and petroleum and refined products, which is generally at a point in time. Performance obligations for marketing, transportation services and trans-loading services are satisfied over time as the service is provided. Cenovus sells its production of crude oil, natural gas, NGLs and petroleum and refined products pursuant to variable price contracts. The transaction price for variable price contracts is based on the commodity price, adjusted for quality, location and other factors. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the agreed transaction price with any variability in transaction price recognized in the same period. Fees associated with marketing, transportation services and trans-loading services are based on fixed price contracts.
Cenovus’s revenue transactions do not contain significant financing components and payments are typically due within 30 days of revenue recognition. The Company does not adjust transaction prices for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer is less than one year. The Company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less and it does not have any long-term contracts with unfulfilled performance obligations.
D) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet Adopted
A description of additional accounting standards and interpretations that will be adopted in future periods can be found in the notes to the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The following provides an update to the disclosure in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

For the period ended June 30, 2018
On January 13, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, “Leases” (“IFRS 16”), which requires entities to recognize lease assets and lease obligations on the balance sheet. For lessees, IFRS 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases, effectively treating all leases as finance leases. Certain short-term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of low-value assets are exempt from the requirements, and may continue to be treated as operating leases.
Lessors will continue with a dual lease classification model. Classification will determine how and when a lessor will recognize lease revenue, and what assets would be recorded.
IFRS 16 is effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The standard may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach does not require restatement of prior period financial information as it recognizes the cumulative effect of applying the standard to prior periods as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company plans to use the modified retrospective approach in its adoption of IFRS 16.
The Company has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements but has not yet completed its detailed assessment. The actual impact of applying IFRS 16 on the consolidated financial statements in the period of initial adoption will depend on future economic conditions, including Cenovus’s borrowing rate at January 1, 2019, the composition of the Company’s lease portfolio at the date of adoption, the Company’s assessment of whether it will exercise any lease renewal option and the extent the Company applies the practical expedients available.
The Company anticipates that the most significant impact of adopting IFRS 16 will be the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease obligations on its operating leases for office space. In addition, the nature of the expenses related to these leases will change as IFRS 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with depreciation expense on the ROU asset and a finance charge on the lease obligation.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company will recognize lease liabilities in relation to leases under the principles of the new standard. These liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. The associated ROU asset will be measured at the amount equal to the lease liability on January 1, 2019 with no impact on retained earnings.
On initial adoption, the Company intends to use the following practical expedients permitted under the standard. Certain of these expedients are on a lease-by-lease basis and others are applicable by class of underlying assets. Management is still evaluating whether certain leases or classes of assets will not be subject to these elections.
| • | Apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics; |
| • | Account for leases with a remaining term of less than 12 months as at January 1, 2019 as short-term leases; |
| • | Account for lease payments as an expense and not recognize a ROU asset if the underlying asset is of a low dollar value; |
| • | The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains terms to extend or terminate the lease; and |
| • | Use the Company’s previous assessment of impairment under IAS 37 for onerous contracts instead of re-assessing the ROU asset for impairment on January 1, 2019. |
The Company currently does not intend to apply any grandfathering practical expedients.
Cenovus has assembled a multi-disciplinary transition team and has developed a detailed project plan. A process for identifying contracts in order to identify potential leases has been established and Cenovus is in the process of performing detailed evaluations of its contracts that are potentially leases under IFRS 16. Contract assessments, implementation of changes to policies, internal controls, information systems, and business and accounting processes, will continue throughout 2018.

A) Cash-Generating Unit Impairments
2018 Upstream Impairments
On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its cash-generating units (“CGUs”) for indicators of impairment or when facts and circumstances suggest the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount. As at June 30, 2018, the book value of the Company’s net assets was greater than its market capitalization. Although the Company’s market capitalization increased from March 31, 2018, this was considered to be a potential indicator of impairment and the Company proceeded to consider other relevant facts and circumstances, including forward commodity prices over the life of the reserves. Forward natural gas prices have declined approximately four percent since the Company tested its upstream CGUs for impairment as at March 31, 2018, while forward crude oil prices have increased two percent. There have been no material changes to forward cost estimates nor the nature of the Company’s operations compared with those used in the Company’s March 31, 2018 impairment tests. As at June 30, 2018, there was no impairment of goodwill or the Company’s CGUs.
As at March 31, 2018, the decline in forward natural gas prices from December 31, 2017 was identified as an indicator of impairment, and, as a result, CGUs with natural gas reserves were tested for impairment. As at March 31, 2018, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the Clearwater CGU exceeded its recoverable amount resulting in an impairment loss of $100 million. The impairment was recorded as additional depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) in the Deep Basin segment.
Key Assumptions
As at June 30, 2018, the recoverable amounts of Cenovus’s upstream CGUs were determined based on fair value less costs of disposal or an evaluation of comparable asset transactions. Key assumptions in the determination of future cash flows from reserves include crude oil and natural gas prices, costs to develop and the discount rate. All reserves have been evaluated as at December 31, 2017 by the Company’s independent qualified reserves evaluators.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the CGU to which it relates.
Crude Oil, NGLs and Natural Gas Prices
The forward prices as at June 30, 2018, used to determine future cash flows from crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves were:

Discounted future cash flows are determined by applying a discount rate between 10 percent and 15 percent based on the individual characteristics of the CGU, and other economic and operating factors. Inflation is estimated at two percent.

2017 Upstream Impairments
As at June 30, 2017, there were no indicators of impairment. There were no goodwill impairments for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
B) Asset Impairment and Writedowns
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, $6 million of previously capitalized E&E costs were written off as the carrying value was not considered to be recoverable and recorded as exploration expense in the Oil Sands segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, $2 million of previously capitalized E&E costs were written off and recorded as exploration expense in the Conventional segment, which has been classified as a discontinued operation.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $7 million in the Oil Sands segment for information technology assets that were written down to their recoverable amounts.
On May 17, 2017, Cenovus acquired from ConocoPhillips Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “ConocoPhillips”) a 50 percent interest in FCCL Partnership and the majority of ConocoPhillips’ western Canadian conventional crude oil and natural gas assets (the “Deep Basin Assets”). The acquisition from ConocoPhillips (the “Acquisition”) provided Cenovus with control over the Company’s oil sands operations, doubled the Company’s oil sands production, and almost doubled the Company’s proved bitumen reserves. The Deep Basin Assets provide a second core operating area with more than three million net acres of land, exploration and production assets, and related infrastructure in Alberta and British Columbia.
Total consideration for the Acquisition consisted of US$10.6 billion in cash and 208 million Cenovus common shares plus closing adjustments. At the same time, Cenovus agreed to make quarterly payments to ConocoPhillips during the five years subsequent to May 17, 2017 for quarters in which the average WCS crude oil price exceeds $52.00 per barrel during the quarter. The quarterly payment will be $6 million for each dollar that the WCS price exceeds $52.00 per barrel. The calculation includes an adjustment mechanism related to certain significant production outages at Foster Creek and Christina Lake, which may reduce the amount of a contingent payment. There are no maximum payment terms.
The final purchase price allocation was retrospectively adjusted to reflect new information obtained between May 17, 2017 and December 31, 2017 about conditions that existed at the acquisition date. As a result of these measurement period adjustments, results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were restated, increasing operating costs by $47 million, DD&A by $21 million and the revaluation gain by $31 million, while income tax expense decreased by $14 million.

8. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In the second quarter of 2017, the Company announced its intention to divest of its Conventional segment that included its heavy oil assets at Pelican Lake, the CO2 enhanced oil recovery project at Weyburn and conventional crude oil, NGLs and natural gas assets in the Suffield and Palliser areas in southern Alberta. The associated assets and liabilities were reclassified as held for sale and the results of operations reported as a discontinued operation.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company announced its intention to market for sale a package of non-core Deep Basin assets primarily in the East Clearwater area. The assets have been classified as held for sale and recorded at the lesser of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell.
A) Results of Discontinued Operations
On January 5, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its Suffield crude oil and natural gas operations in southern Alberta for cash proceeds of $512 million, before closing adjustments. A before-tax gain on discontinuance of $306 million was recorded on the sale. The agreement includes a deferred purchase price adjustment (“DPPA”) that could provide Cenovus with purchase price adjustments of up to $36 million if the average crude oil and natural gas prices meet certain thresholds over the two years following the close of the disposition.
The DPPA is a two year agreement that commenced on close. Under the purchase and sale agreement, Cenovus is entitled to receive cash for each month in which the average daily price of WTI is above US$55 per barrel or the price of Henry Hub natural gas is above US$3.50 per MMBtu. Monthly cash payments are capped at $375 thousand and $1.125 million for crude oil and natural gas, respectively. The DPPA will be accounted for as a financial option and fair valued at each reporting date. The fair value of the DPPA on the date of close was $7 million.
The following table presents the results of discontinued operations, including asset sales:

In connection with the Acquisition, Cenovus agreed to make quarterly payments to ConocoPhillips during the five years subsequent to May 17, 2017 for quarters in which the average WCS crude oil price exceeds $52.00 per barrel during the quarter. The quarterly payment will be $6 million for each dollar that the WCS price exceeds $52.00 per barrel. The calculation includes an adjustment mechanism related to certain significant production outages at Foster Creek and Christina Lake, which may reduce the amount of a contingent payment. There are no maximum payment terms. As at June 30, 2018, $65 million is payable under this agreement.

Cenovus’s capital structure objectives remain unchanged from previous periods. Cenovus’s capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity plus Net Debt. Net Debt includes the Company’s short-term borrowings, and the current and long-term portions of long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. Cenovus conducts its business and makes decisions consistent with that of an investment grade company. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility, preserve access to capital markets, ensure its ability to finance internally generated growth and to fund potential acquisitions while maintaining the ability to meet the Company’s financial obligations as they come due.
Cenovus monitors its capital structure and financing requirements using, among other things, non-GAAP financial metrics consisting of Net Debt to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and DD&A (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Net Debt to Capitalization. These metrics are used to steward Cenovus’s overall debt position as measures of Cenovus’s overall financial strength.
Over the long term, Cenovus targets a Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of less than 2.0 times. At different points within the economic cycle, Cenovus expects this ratio may periodically be above the target. Cenovus also manages its Net Debt to Capitalization ratio to ensure compliance with the associated covenant as defined in its committed credit facility agreement.

Cenovus’s objective is to maintain a high level of capital discipline and manage its capital structure to help ensure sufficient liquidity through all stages of the economic cycle. To help ensure financial resilience, Cenovus may, among other actions, adjust capital and operating spending, draw down on its credit facility or repay existing debt, adjust dividends paid to shareholders, purchase shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids, issue new debt, or issue new shares.
Cenovus has in place a committed credit facility that consists of a $1.2 billion tranche maturing on November 30, 2020 and a $3.3 billion tranche maturing on November 30, 2021. As at June 30, 2018, no amounts were drawn on its committed credit facility. Under the committed credit facility, the Company is required to maintain a debt to capitalization ratio, as defined in the agreement, not to exceed 65 percent. The Company is well below this limit.
In addition, the Company has in place a base shelf prospectus which expires in November 2019. As at June 30, 2018, US$4.6 billion remains available under the base shelf prospectus. Offerings under the base shelf prospectus are subject to market conditions.
As at June 30, 2018, Cenovus is in compliance with all of the terms of its debt agreements.
Cenovus’s financial assets and financial liabilities consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, risk management assets and liabilities, private equity investments, long-term receivables, contingent payment, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Risk management assets and liabilities arise from the use of derivative financial instruments.
A) Fair Value of Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair values of long-term receivables approximate their carrying amount due to the specific non-tradeable nature of these instruments.
Long-term debt is carried at amortized cost. The estimated fair values of long-term borrowings have been determined based on period-end trading prices of long-term borrowings on the secondary market (Level 2). As at June 30, 2018, the carrying value of Cenovus’s debt was $9,992 million and the fair value was $9,991 million (December 31, 2017 carrying value – $9,513 million, fair value – $10,061 million).
Equity investments classified at FVOCI comprise equity investments in private companies. The Company classifies certain private equity instruments at FVOCI as they are not held for trading and fair value changes are not reflective of the Company’s operations. These assets are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other assets. Fair value is determined based on recent private placement transactions (Level 3) when available. There were no changes in the fair value of the Company’s private equity instruments in the six months ended June 30, 2018.
B) Fair Value of Risk Management Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s risk management assets and liabilities consist of crude oil swaps and options, as well as condensate and interest rate swaps. Crude oil, condensate and, if entered, natural gas contracts are recorded at their estimated fair value based on the difference between the contracted price and the period-end forward price for the same commodity, using quoted market prices or the period-end forward price for the same commodity extrapolated to the end of the term of the contract (Level 2). The fair value of interest rate swaps are calculated using external valuation models which incorporate observable market data, including interest rate yield curves (Level 2).

C) Fair Value of Contingent Payment
The contingent payment is carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is estimated by calculating the present value of the future expected cash flows using an option pricing model (Level 3), which assumes the probability distribution for WCS is based on the volatility of WTI options, volatility of Canadian-U.S. foreign exchange rate options and WCS futures pricing, and discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 3.8 percent. Fair value of the contingent payment has been calculated by Cenovus’s internal valuation team which consists of individuals who are knowledgeable and have experience in fair value techniques. As at June 30, 2018, the fair value of the contingent payment was estimated to be $635 million.
As at June 30, 2018, average WCS forward pricing for the remaining term of the contingent payment is US$39.83 per barrel or C$52.45 per barrel. The average volatility of WTI options and the Canadian-U.S. foreign exchange rate options used to value the contingent payment was 24 percent and eight percent, respectively. Changes in the following inputs to the option pricing model, with fluctuations in all other variables held constant, could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting earnings before income tax as follows:
