Quarter Review and Near-Term Priorities

Strathcona's second quarter production of 181 Mboe / d reflected a 7% decrease from the first quarter, largely due to the planned major turnaround at the company's Tucker property (7 Mboe / d impact) and the divestiture of its Groundbirch Montney property (3 Mboe / d impact). Shortly after the second quarter, Strathcona completed the sale of its Kakwa and Grande Prairie Montney properties, completing its transition to a pure play heavy oil business. Based on preliminary accounting, the total gain on sale of Strathcona's Montney business (expected to be recorded in the third quarter) is approximately $760 million, before final closing adjustments.

In Cold Lake, the major turnaround at Tucker was completed safely, with the field returning to full capacity in mid-July. Production from Tucker continues to exceed expectations, due to strong performance from eight lower drainage wells (LDWs) brought on stream at the end of 2024. The LDWs at Tucker reflect an innovative approach to SAGD development first developed by Strathcona at Orion, wherein a new producer is placed directly below a legacy well pair to recover pre-heated oil with minimal incremental steam. At Tucker this has resulted in substantially lower steam-oil-ratios (SORs), with the field averaging a 2.8x SOR in July, a record low in the asset's 20-year history and an approximately 45% decrease compared to when Strathcona acquired the asset in late 2021. Strathcona has identified approximately 75 additional LDWs at Tucker, Orion and Lindbergh to be drilled over the next 5 years. 

In Lloydminster Thermal, capital activity remains focused at the Company's Meota Central project, which is currently approximately 50% complete, on schedule and on budget. Meota Central is targeting first oil in the fourth quarter of 2026 and is expected to deliver a peak oil rate of approximately 13 Mbbls / d at a total installed cost of approximately $360 million. Meota Central is the Company's second major brownfield Lloydminster SAGD expansion, following the success of its Meota West 2 expansion which it completed earlier this year at a total installed cost of $93 million and which reached a peak rate of over 5 Mbbls / d in the second quarter. In Lloydminster Conventional, Strathcona is currently focused on its annual drilling programs at Bodo-Cosine and Druid, the latter of which includes several multi-lateral horizontal locations following the success from Druid's initial 2024 pilot program.

Outlook

Strathcona's 2025 production guidance is unchanged at the mid-point but has been revised to 152 – 158 Mboe / d, from 150 – 160 Mboe / d previously. The Company's 2025 capital budget of $1.2 billion remains unchanged.

Strathcona's offer for MEG Energy remains outstanding until September 15, 2025. Strathcona remains ready and willing to engage with the MEG board of directors. MEG shareholders are encouraged to refer to the Offer to Purchase and accompanying Take-Over Bid Circular of the Company dated May 30, 2025, available on Strathcona's website and under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

In the event that Strathcona's offer for MEG is unsuccessful, Strathcona currently intends to return approximately $10 per share to its shareholders. Any such distribution will be at the sole discretion of the board of directors of Strathcona and subject to numerous factors.

Quarterly Dividend

Strathcona's board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share to be paid on September 22, 2025 to shareholders of record on September 12, 2025. Payments to shareholders who are not residents of Canada will be net of any Canadian withholding taxes that may be applicable. Dividends paid by Strathcona are considered "eligible dividends" for Canadian tax purposes.

"Oil and natural gas sales, net of blending and other income" is calculated by deducting purchased product and blending costs from oil and natural gas sales, sales of purchased product, midstream revenue and other income, for both continuing and discontinued operations. Management uses this metric to isolate the revenue associated with the Company's operations after accounting for the unavoidable cost of blending. Oil and natural gas sales, net of blending and other income, is also reflected on a per boe basis calculated using sales volumes.

"Effective royalty rate" is calculated by dividing royalties by oil and natural gas sales and sales of purchased product, net of blending costs and purchased product, for both continuing and discontinued operations. This metric allows management to analyze the movement of royalty expenses in relation to realized and benchmark commodity prices.

"Operating Earnings - Discontinued" is considered a key financial metric for evaluating the profitability of Strathcona's discontinued operations. A quantitative reconciliation of Operating Earnings - Discontinued to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Oil and natural gas sales, is presented below.

"Funds from Operations" is used by management to analyze operating performance and provides an indication of the funds generated by Strathcona's principal business to either fund operating activities, re-invest to either maintain or grow the business or make debt repayments. Funds from Operations is derived from Operating Earnings and adjusted for depletion, depreciation and amortization, finance costs, gains and losses on risk management contracts – realized and gains and losses on foreign exchange – realized.

"Free Cash Flow" indicates funds available for deleveraging, funding future growth, or shareholder returns. Free Cash Flow is derived from Operating Earnings and adjusted for DD&A, finance costs, gains and losses on risk management contracts – realized and gains and losses on foreign exchange - realized, capital expenditures and decommissioning costs.

Quantitative reconciliations of Funds from Operations and Free Cash Flow for both continuing and discontinued operations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Operating Earnings, are set forth below.
