MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of ARC Resources Ltd. ("ARC" or the "Company") is Management's analysis of the financial performance and significant trends and external factors that may affect future performance. It is dated July 31, 2025, and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and the MD&A and audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as ARC's 2024 Annual Information Form ("AIF"), each of which is available on ARC's website at www.arcresources.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. All financial information is reported in Canadian dollars and all per share information is based on diluted weighted average common shares, unless otherwise noted.

Throughout this MD&A, crude oil ("crude oil") refers to light crude oil, medium crude oil, and heavy crude oil as defined by National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). Condensate is a natural gas liquid as defined by NI 51-101. Throughout this MD&A, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") comprise all NGLs as defined by NI 51-101 other than condensate, which is disclosed separately. Crude oil and liquids ("crude oil and liquids") refers to crude oil, condensate, and NGLs.

Throughout this MD&A and in other materials disclosed by the Company, ARC presents financial measures that adhere to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), however the Company also employs certain non-GAAP financial measures to analyze financial performance, financial position, and cash flow including, "netback", "capital expenditures", "free funds flow", "adjusted earnings before interest and taxes" ("adjusted EBIT"), and "average capital employed". Additionally, other financial measures are also used to analyze performance including, but not limited to, "funds from operations" and "net debt". These non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful indicators of ARC's performance than GAAP measures which are determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, such as net income, cash flow from operating activities, and cash flow used in investing activities.

Readers are cautioned that the MD&A should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures", "Forward-looking Information and Statements", and "Glossary" at the end of this MD&A.

ABOUT ARC RESOURCES LTD.

ARC is a dividend-paying, Canadian energy company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. ARC's activities focus on the exploration, development, and production of unconventional natural gas, condensate, NGLs, and crude oil in western Canada with an emphasis on the development of assets with a large volume of hydrocarbons in-place, commonly referred to as "resource plays".

The guiding principles upon which ARC conducts its business have created a strong foundation for the Company's performance. ARC's standard of operational excellence, robust risk management program, and strong balance sheet have positioned the Company to effectively manage volatile market conditions. The Company's concentrated asset base, located in premier positions within the Montney fairway and network of owned-and-operated infrastructure, allows ARC to deliver strong capital and operating efficiencies. The commodity and geographic optionality within the asset base allows ARC to manage risk.

QUARTERLY RESULTS (1)

Trends in net income, cash flow from operating activities, and funds from operations are primarily associated with fluctuations in commodity sales from production which reflect changes in production levels and commodity prices. Net income is also impacted by changes in the value of risk management contracts and impairment or reversal of impairment of property, plant and equipment ("PP&E").

ANNUAL GUIDANCE

On July 2, 2025, ARC closed the previously announced acquisition of condensate-rich Montney assets in the Kakwa region in Alberta (the "Kakwa Assets") from Strathcona Resources Ltd. ("Strathcona"). Refer to Note 15 "Subsequent Event" in the financial statements and the news release dated July 2, 2025, entitled "ARC Resources Ltd. Announces the Closing of its Montney Acquisition", available on ARC's website at www.arcresources.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

ARC's 2025 guidance, 2025 revised guidance, which incorporates the expected impacts of the acquired Kakwa Assets, and a review of 2025 year-to-date results are outlined in Table 2:

ARC has revised 2025 production guidance to incorporate the acquisition of the Kakwa Assets, natural gas production curtailments in the Sunrise area, and year-to-date production from the Attachie area.

Expense guidance has been revised to reflect the Kakwa Assets acquisition, higher water-handling costs in the Kakwa area, and reduced production in the Sunrise area. The increase in interest and financing reflects additional interest payments associated with the issuance of senior notes.

The increase in planned capital expenditures reflects the acquisition of the Kakwa Assets as well as $50 million towards advancing the development of Attachie Phase II.

For more information regarding ARC's revised 2025 guidance, refer to the news release dated July 31, 2025, entitled "ARC Resources Ltd. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results, Provides 2025 Revised Guidance, and Announces New Attachie Land Acquisition", available on ARC's website at www.arcresources.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Net Income

In the second quarter of 2025, ARC recognized net income of $396.1 million ($0.68 per share), an increase of $156.6 million from ARC's second quarter 2024 net income of $239.5 million ($0.40 per share). The increase in net income is primarily attributed to an increase in commodity sales from production of $227.5 million, driven by an increase in production, with the increase in average realized natural gas prices offset by a decrease in average realized crude oil and liquids prices.

ARC Resources Ltd.


For the six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC recognized net income of $800.8 million ($1.36 per share) compared to $424.9 million ($0.71 per share) for the same period of the prior year. The $375.9 million increase in net income is primarily attributed to an increase in commodity sales from production of $515.6 million, driven by increased production and a higher average realized commodity price.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Funds from Operations

Cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $699.1 million, an increase of $156.1 million from ARC's second quarter 2024 cash flow from operating activities of $543.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash flow from operating activities increased to $1.7 billion from $1.2 billion for the same period in 2024. The increase in cash flow from operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily reflects higher funds from operations.

ARC considers funds from operations to be a key measure of financial performance as it demonstrates ARC's ability to generate the necessary funds to maintain production at current levels and fund future growth through capital investment. Management believes that such a measure provides an insightful assessment of financial performance on a continuing basis by eliminating certain non-cash charges and actual settlements of ARO, of which the nature and timing of expenditures are discretionary. Funds from operations is a capital management measure, which is not a standardized measure and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities.

Refer to Note 8 "Capital Management" in the financial statements and to the section entitled "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" contained within this MD&A. Table 4 is a reconciliation of ARC's net income to funds from operations and its most directly comparable GAAP measure, cash flow from operating activities:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, total production increased eight per cent and seven per cent, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, crude oil and liquids production increased 20 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily due to new production from ARC's Attachie Phase I facility.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, natural gas production increased two per cent and four per cent, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily due to new production from ARC's Attachie Phase 1 facility and increased production in the Kakwa and Greater Dawson areas with less scheduled maintenance required, partially offset by the deliberate curtailment of production from the Sunrise area in response to low Western Canadian natural gas prices.

Commodity Sales from Production

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, commodity sales from production increased by 23 per cent as compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is due to an increase in production volumes. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is due to an increase in production volumes and a higher average realized commodity price, driven by an increase in natural gas prices.

A breakdown of commodity sales from production by product and percentage of commodity sales from production by product type is outlined in Tables 9 and 9a:

Benchmark Commodity Prices

Average WTI crude oil prices decreased 11 per cent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter and 21 per cent compared to the second quarter of 2024. Crude oil prices decreased during the quarter due to a larger-than-expected supply increase from several large crude oil-producing countries as well as shifting United States trade policy that weakened the global economic outlook. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East had the potential for significant supply disruptions, causing crude oil price volatility for the period.

The Edmonton condensate benchmark price decreased 12 per cent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter and 17 per cent compared to the second quarter of 2024. With limited change in local market fundamentals and pricing differentials, Western Canadian condensate pricing remained aligned with WTI crude oil pricing in the quarter.

Average NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas prices decreased six per cent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter and increased 82 per cent compared to the second quarter of 2024. Natural gas prices declined slightly during the quarter due to increased production and reduced weather-related demand, resulting in elevated natural gas inventory levels.

The AECO 7A Monthly Index increased two per cent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter and 44 per cent compared to the second quarter of 2024. Pricing remained relatively unchanged during the quarter, reflecting stable production and export levels.

ARC's Average Realized Commodity Prices

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, both ARC's average realized crude oil and condensate prices decreased 18 per cent, compared to the same periods of the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, both ARC's average realized crude oil and condensate prices decreased seven per cent, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decreases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflect a weaker WTI benchmark price, partially offset by narrower differentials between WTI and Canadian benchmark prices.

ARC's natural gas sales are physically diversified to multiple sales points within North America, each with different index-based pricing. All of ARC's natural gas sold in the United States complies with the rules of origin under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement.

ARC Resources Ltd.


ARC's average realized natural gas price increased 72 per cent and 47 per cent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases are primarily due to stronger benchmark prices in most North American markets.

ARC's realized gain on risk management contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflects cash settlements received on WTI crude oil, AECO, and AECO basis natural gas contracts. As compared to the same period of the prior year, the decrease in realized gain on risk management contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2025, is primarily the result of higher natural gas prices relative to contract prices, partially offset by lower WTI crude oil prices relative to contract prices. The increase in realized gain on risk management contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period of the prior year, is primarily the result of lower WTI crude oil prices relative to contract prices, partially offset by higher natural gas prices relative to contract prices.

ARC's unrealized gain on risk management contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflects the revaluation of WTI crude oil and foreign exchange contracts outstanding with lower forward pricing, as well as widening differentials between North American and international gas prices. The change in the unrealized gain on risk management contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, reflects the difference between average commodity prices and contracts prices as well as contract settlements.

Embedded Derivatives

ARC is party to two separate long-term natural gas supply agreements whereby ARC will deliver natural gas to specified North American delivery points and receive international pricing in exchange. These contracts have been determined to contain embedded derivatives that are required by IFRS Accounting Standards to be valued separately from their host contracts. Table 12 summarizes the details of the agreements:

Table 12

Volume (MMBtu/d) Term Delivery Point Pricing Formula Anticipated Commencement
JKM Agreement 140,000 15 years Chicago JKM less transport and liquefaction 2027
TTF Agreement 140,000 15 years Gulf Coast TTF less transport, liquefaction and regasification 2029

In respect of these contracts, ARC recognized an unrealized gain on risk management contracts of $57.5 million and $24.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 ($13.4 million and $17.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024), respectively. At June 30, 2025, the fair value of the embedded derivatives was $49.2 million ($25.2 million at December 31, 2024). The fair value reflects the estimated differentials between forward pricing at the respective delivery points and those contained in the pricing formulas. Due to the long-term nature of these agreements and multiple variables impacting the estimated valuations, it is anticipated that the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives will fluctuate over time as the agreements mature. For further information, refer to Note 9 "Financial Instruments and Market Risk Management" in the financial statements.

Royalties

Royalties for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased four per cent to $120.7 million from $125.8 million for the same period in 2024. Royalties for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased 10 per cent to $283.5 million from $258.8 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in royalties for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period of the prior year, is primarily due to a decrease in average realized commodity prices for crude oil and liquids, partially offset by an increase in production. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period of the prior year, is primarily due to an increase in production, partially offset by a decrease in average realized commodity prices for crude oil and liquids.

Royalties as a percentage of commodity sales from production $^{(1)}$ decreased to 10 per cent ($3.71 per boe) in the second quarter of 2025 from 13 per cent ($4.19 per boe) in the second quarter of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, royalties represented 10 per cent ($4.29 per boe) of commodity sales from production as compared to 12 per cent ($4.16 per boe) for the same period in 2024. The decrease in royalties as a percentage of commodity sales from production for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflects lower average royalty rates due to decreased crude oil and liquids prices, as compared to the same periods in 2024.

Operating

Operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $168.1 million, an increase of two per cent from $165.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating expense was $330.6 million, an increase of nine per cent from $302.2 million in the same period of the prior year.

Operating expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased compared to the same periods of the prior year with the addition of ARC's Attachie Phase I facility and an increase in water-handling costs in the Kakwa area. This was partially offset by a decrease of maintenance costs, with less scheduled maintenance required compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Operating expense per boe for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $5.17 per boe, a decrease of six per cent from $5.51 per boe for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating expense was $5.01 per boe, an increase of three per cent from $4.87 per boe in the same period of the prior year.

Transportation

Transportation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $174.1 million and $360.1 million, an increase of 11 per cent and 10 per cent, from $156.7 million and $328.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

The increase in transportation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, relative to the same periods in 2024, is primarily due to an increase in condensate transportation costs, reflecting the increase in condensate production.

Transportation expense per boe for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $5.36 per boe and $5.46 per boe, an increase of three per cent from $5.22 per boe and $5.29 per boe for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

G&A

G&A expense before share-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $41.1 million, unchanged from $41.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC's G&A expense before share-based compensation expense was $77.1 million, an eight per cent decrease from $84.2 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in consulting and information technology costs associated with an enterprise system implementation project that concluded in 2024.

ARC Resources Ltd.


During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC recognized G&A expense of $5.4 million and $26.7 million, respectively, associated with its share-based compensation plans, compared to $14.5 million and $52.9 million during the same periods of the prior year. The change for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods of the prior year, reflects the revaluation of the liability associated with ARC's share-based compensation plans, based on the movement of ARC's share price and the average performance multiplier associated with certain of its plans.

Share Option Plans

At June 30, 2025, ARC had 0.5 million share options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $20.32. All share options pertain to the Acquired Plans and were exercisable at June 30, 2025.

Long-term Restricted Share Award ("LTRSA") Plan

At June 30, 2025, ARC had 0.7 million restricted shares outstanding under the LTRSA Plan. ARC recognized G&A of $0.2 million and $0.4 million relating to the LTRSA Plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 ($0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024), respectively.

Deferred Share Unit ("DSU") Plans

At June 30, 2025, ARC had 1.1 million DSUs outstanding, including 0.3 million DSUs outstanding under the Acquired Plans. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, G&A of $0.5 million and $4.3 million was recognized in relation to the DSU Plans ($1.2 million and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024), respectively.

Interest and Financing

Interest and financing expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $27.8 million and $56.5 million ($0.86 per boe for both periods), respectively, compared to $32.6 million and $63.8 million ($1.09 per boe and $1.03 per boe) for the same periods of the prior year. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, is primarily the result of a decrease in short-term borrowing costs related to draws on ARC's credit facility, and a decrease in financing expense associated with lower lease obligations.

A breakdown of interest and financing expense is shown in Table 17:

Table 17

Cdn$/US$ Exchange Rates

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC recognized an unrealized gain on foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income of $4.2 million and $5.0 million (unrealized loss of $2.1 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024), respectively.

Taxes

ARC recognized current income tax of $65.0 million and $175.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $37.6 million and $97.6 million for the same periods in 2024. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, is primarily due to higher expected taxable income as a result of increased production volumes and higher average realized natural gas prices.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, ARC recognized deferred income tax of $24.2 million, compared to $29.2 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease primarily relates to lower income tax pools claimed relative to DD&A expense as compared to the same period of 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC recognized deferred income tax of $37.1 million, compared to $24.5 million for the same period in 2024. The increase primarily relates to higher income tax pools claimed relative to DD&A expense and an unrealized gain on risk management contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to an unrealized loss in the same period of 2024.

The income tax pools, which are detailed in Table 19, are deductible at various rates and annual deductions associated with the initial tax pools will decline over time.

Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC recognized DD&A of $349.0 million and $698.3 million, respectively, compared to $311.4 million and $651.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in DD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year, is due to increased production volumes and a higher DD&A rate reflecting updated reserves and future development costs.

A breakdown of DD&A expense is summarized in Table 20:

Cash Flow used in Investing Activities, Capital Expenditures, Acquisitions and Dispositions

ARC's cash flow used in investing activities was $471.2 million and $900.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $643.4 million and $1.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. In addition to cash flow used in investing activities, Management uses the non-GAAP financial measure of capital expenditures to monitor its capital investments relative to those budgeted by the Company on an annual basis. ARC excludes acquisition and disposition activities from its annual capital expenditure budget, as well as the accounting impact of any accrual changes or payments under certain lease arrangements. Refer to Table 24 in the section entitled "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" contained within this MD&A for a reconciliation of ARC's capital expenditures to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, cash flow used in investing activities.

Capital expenditures were $496.3 million and $953.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $532.3 million and $1.0 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Capital expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily pertain to ARC's drilling and completions activities, which included the drilling of 32 and 55 crude oil and natural gas wells and the completion of 45 and 89 crude oil and natural gas wells, respectively, primarily in the Kakwa and Attachie areas.

On July 2, 2025, ARC closed the previously announced agreement with Strathcona to acquire the Kakwa Assets.

Asset Retirement Obligation

ARC maintains a planned and scheduled approach to its abandonment and reclamation activities. At June 30, 2025, ARC recognized ARO of $418.4 million ($431.4 million at December 31, 2024), for the future abandonment and reclamation of ARC's crude oil and natural gas assets, of which $17.0 million is classified as current and $401.4 million is classified as long-term ($17.0 million and $414.4 million at December 31, 2024, respectively). The estimated ARO includes assumptions in respect of actual future costs to abandon wells and decommission and reclaim assets, the time frame in which such costs will be incurred, and annual inflation factors. The future liability has been discounted at a liability-specific risk-free rate of 3.6 per cent (3.3 per cent at December 31, 2024).

Accretion charges of $3.5 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 ($3.6 million and $7.0 million for the same periods in 2024), respectively, have been recognized in interest and financing in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income to reflect the increase in ARO associated with the passage of time. Actual spending under ARC's program for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.3 million and $8.1 million ($3.4 million and $9.9 million for the same periods in 2024), respectively.

Capitalization, Financial Resources and Liquidity

Capital Management

ARC's capital management objective is to fund dividend payments, lease payments, current period abandonment and reclamation expenditures, and capital expenditures necessary for the replacement of production declines using only funds from operations. Profitable growth activities will be financed with a combination of funds from operations and other sources of capital. ARC believes that investing in development activities that prioritize profitability over production growth creates significant long-term shareholder value.

Maintaining targeted debt levels, paying a sustainable dividend, and exercising capital discipline to manage a moderate pace of development and control its corporate decline rate are the basis for ARC's current capital allocation framework. ARC takes a portfolio approach by periodically evaluating its capital allocation priorities, considering returns to shareholders through sustainable dividend increases and/or share repurchases, and long-term development investments.

ARC uses free funds flow, defined as funds from operations less capital expenditures, as an indicator of the funds available for capital allocation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC generated free funds flow of $185.8 million and $585.7 million ($nil and $72.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024), respectively. For the calculation of free funds flow, refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" contained within this MD&A.

ARC plans to distribute essentially all free funds flow in 2025 to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC distributed 73 per cent of free funds flow to shareholders. Currently, ARC believes that the optimal mechanism to return shareholder capital is through a combination of a sustainable base dividend that grows over time and continued share repurchases.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC declared dividends totaling $0.38 per share and repurchased 7.8 million common shares under its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB").

ARC Resources Ltd.


Exhibit 20

Free Funds Flow

ARC maintains financial flexibility through its strong balance sheet. ARC manages its capital structure for the long term, with the objective of having its net debt less than 1.5 times funds from operations. At June 30, 2025, ARC's net debt was 0.4 times its funds from operations.

Exhibit 21
Net Debt to Funds from Operations

Long-term Debt

In June 2025, ARC closed its offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the "2025 Notes"). For more information, refer to Note 6 "Long-Term Debt" in the financial statements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the maturity date of ARC's unsecured extendible revolving credit facility was extended to March 2029, with the borrowing capacity unchanged at $1.7 billion.

ARC Resources Ltd.


At June 30, 2025, ARC's total available credit capacity, including its credit facility and senior notes, was $3.7 billion, of which $2.0 billion was drawn. ARC's long-term debt balance includes a current portion of $450.0 million at June 30, 2025 ($nil at December 31, 2024), reflecting the principal payment that is due to be paid within the next 12 months. ARC intends to finance this obligation by using cash on hand or drawing on its syndicated credit facility at the time the payment is due. At June 30, 2025, ARC's long-term debt had a weighted average interest rate of 3.5 per cent. For more information, refer to Note 6 "Long-term Debt" in the financial statements.

There are no financial covenants associated with the 2025 Notes and there were no changes to any existing debt covenants. At June 30, 2025, ARC was in compliance with the financial covenants related to its credit facility as follows:

Table 22

Covenant Description Position at June 30, 2025
Consolidated Debt not to exceed 60 per cent of Total Capitalization 19 %
Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Restricted Group must exceed 80 per cent of Consolidated Tangible Assets 100 %

Subsequent to June 30, 2025, ARC obtained a $500.0 million two-year term loan and increased the borrowing capacity under its credit facility to $2.0 billion.

The proceeds from the 2025 Notes, the term loan, and drawings under the credit facility were used to fund the previously announced acquisition of the Kakwa Assets. For more information, refer to Note 15 "Subsequent Event" in the financial statements.

Lease Obligations

At June 30, 2025, ARC had lease obligations of $952.2 million, of which $84.6 million is due within one year. ARC's lease obligations primarily relate to office space, equipment used in ARC's operations, and processing facilities. For further information, refer to Note 5 "Lease Obligations" in the financial statements.

ARC acquired additional lease obligations through its purchase of the Kakwa Assets. For more information, refer to Note 15 "Subsequent Event" in the financial statements.

Shareholders' Equity

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, ARC repurchased 7.8 million common shares under its NCIB at a weighted average price of $27.53 per share for a total of $214.7 million, inclusive of all costs. Shares were cancelled upon repurchase.

At June 30, 2025, ARC has recognized a liability of $46.6 million ($15.1 million at December 31, 2024) for share repurchases that may take place during its internal blackout period under an automatic share purchase plan agreement with an independent broker. The transaction has been recognized as a reduction to share capital of $18.1 million and a reduction to retained earnings of $28.5 million ($5.6 million and $9.5 million at December 31, 2024, respectively).

At June 30, 2025, there were 582.5 million common shares outstanding and 0.5 million share options outstanding under ARC's share option plans. For more information, refer to the section entitled "Share Option Plans" contained within this MD&A.

At June 30, 2025, ARC had 0.7 million restricted shares outstanding under its LTRSA Plan. For more information on the restricted shares outstanding and held in trust under ARC's LTRSA Plan, refer to the section entitled "Long-term Restricted Share Award Plan" contained within this MD&A.

Dividends

ARC's business strategy is focused on value creation and long-term returns to shareholders, with the dividend being an important component. In the second quarter of 2025, ARC declared dividends totaling $110.9 million ($0.19 per share) compared to $101.6 million ($0.17 per share) in the same period of 2024. ARC declared dividends of $222.2 million ($0.38 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $203.2 million ($0.34 per share) for the same period in 2024.

ARC Resources Ltd.


ARC's dividend as a per cent of funds from operations(1) decreased from an average of 20 per cent and 18 per cent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, to an average of 16 per cent and 14 per cent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease in dividend as a per cent of funds from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, reflects the increase in funds from operations.

(1) Refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" contained within this MD&A for an explanation of composition.

Exhibit 22
Dividend as a Per Cent of Funds from Operations

ARC Resources Ltd.


At June 30, 2025, ARC's total contractual obligations and commitments were $18.4 billion, compared to $17.6 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily relates to principal and interest amounts associated with the 2025 Notes and additional transportation commitments.

ARC acquired additional commitments through its purchase of the Kakwa Assets. For more information, refer to Note 15 "Subsequent Event" in the financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing

ARC does not have any guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements that have been excluded from the unaudited condensed interim consolidated balance sheets other than commitments disclosed in Note 13 "Commitments and Contingencies" of the financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

ARC continuously refines and documents its management and internal reporting systems to ensure that accurate and timely internal and external information is gathered and disseminated.

ARC's financial and operational results incorporate certain estimates including:

  • estimated commodity sales from production at a specific reporting date for which actual revenues have not yet been received, including associated estimated credit losses;
  • estimated royalty obligations, transportation, and operating expenses at a specific reporting date for which costs have been incurred but have not yet been settled;
  • estimated capital expenditures on projects that are in progress;
  • estimated DD&A charges that are based on estimates of reserves that ARC expects to recover in the future;
  • estimated future recoverable value of PP&E, E&E, and goodwill and any associated impairment charges or reversals;
  • estimated fair values of financial instruments, including embedded derivatives, that are subject to fluctuation depending upon the underlying forward curves for commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, as well as volatility curves, and the risk of non-performance;
  • estimated value of ARO that is dependent upon estimates of future costs and timing of expenditures;
  • estimated value of ROU assets and lease obligations that are dependent upon estimates of discount rates and timing of lease payments;
  • estimated compensation expense under ARC's share-based compensation plans including the PSUs awarded under the PSU Plans that are dependent on the final number of PSU awards that eventually vest based on a performance multiplier; and
  • estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

ARC has hired individuals and consultants who have the skills required to make such estimates and ensures that individuals or departments with the most knowledge of the activity are responsible for the estimates. Further, past estimates are reviewed and compared to actual results, and actual results are compared to budgets in order to make more informed decisions on future estimates. For further information on the determination of certain estimates inherent in the financial statements, refer to Note 5 "Management Judgments and Estimation Uncertainty" in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

CONTROL ENVIRONMENT

Internal Control over Financial Reporting ("ICFR")

ARC is required to comply with National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings ("NI 52-109"). The certification of interim filings for the interim period ended June 30, 2025 requires that ARC disclose in the interim MD&A any changes in ARC's ICFR that occurred during the period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ARC's ICFR. ARC confirms that no such changes were made to its ICFR during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

ARC Resources Ltd.


NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this MD&A and in other materials disclosed by the Company, ARC employs certain measures to analyze financial performance, financial position, and cash flow. These non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than GAAP measures which are determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, such as net income, cash flow from operating activities, and cash flow used in investing activities, as indicators of ARC's performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Capital Expenditures

ARC uses capital expenditures to monitor its capital investments relative to those budgeted by the Company on an annual basis. ARC's capital budget excludes acquisition and disposition activities as well as the accounting impact of any accrual changes or payments under certain lease arrangements. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for capital expenditures is cash flow used in investing activities. Table 24 details the composition of capital expenditures and its reconciliation to cash flow used in investing activities.

Free Funds Flow

ARC uses free funds flow as an indicator of the efficiency and liquidity of ARC's business, measuring its funds available after capital expenditures to manage debt levels, pay dividends, and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases. ARC computes free funds flow as funds from operations generated during the period less capital expenditures. Capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure. By removing the impact of current period capital expenditures from funds from operations, Management monitors its free funds flow to inform its capital allocation decisions. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to free funds flow is cash flow from operating activities. Table 25 details the calculation of free funds flow and its reconciliation to cash flow from operating activities.

Netback

ARC computes netback as commodity sales from production less royalties, operating, and transportation expense. Management believes that netback is a key industry performance indicator and one that provides investors with information that is also commonly presented by other crude oil and natural gas producers. ARC's netback is disclosed in Table 13 within this MD&A which includes its most directly comparable GAAP measure, commodity sales from production.

Adjusted EBIT

ARC calculates adjusted EBIT as net income plus interest and financing, less accretion of ARO, plus total income taxes. ARC uses adjusted EBIT as a measure of long-term operating performance and as a component in the calculation for ROACE, which is calculated by ARC for the 12 months preceding the period end, on an annual basis, and a four-year basis. Table 26 contains a reconciliation of adjusted EBIT to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income.

(1) Average for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Average Capital Employed

ARC calculates average capital employed as the total of net debt plus current and long-term portions of lease obligations and shareholders' equity. ARC uses average capital employed as a measure of long-term capital management and operating performance, and as a component in the calculation for ROACE. Table 27 contains a reconciliation of average capital employed to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, shareholders' equity.

Non-GAAP Ratios

Netback per boe

ARC calculates netback per boe as netback divided by weighted average daily production. Netback is a non-GAAP financial measure component of netback per boe. Management believes that netback per boe is a key industry performance measure of operational efficiency and one that provides investors with information that is also commonly presented by other crude oil and natural gas producers. ARC's netback per boe is disclosed in Table 13a within this MD&A.

Free Funds Flow per Share

ARC presents free funds flow per share by dividing free funds flow by the Company's diluted or basic weighted average common shares outstanding. Free funds flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that free funds flow per share provides investors an indicator of funds generated from the business that could be allocated to each shareholder's equity position.

Return on Average Capital Employed

ARC calculates ROACE, expressed as a percentage, as adjusted EBIT divided by the average capital employed. The components adjusted EBIT and average capital employed are non-GAAP financial measures. ARC uses ROACE as a measure of long-term financial performance, to measure how effectively Management utilizes the capital it has been provided and to demonstrate to shareholders the returns generated over the long term. ROACE is calculated by ARC for the 12 months preceding the period end, on an annual basis, and a four-year basis in Table 28:

Table 28

Capital Management Measures

Funds from Operations

ARC considers funds from operations to be a key measure of capital management as it demonstrates ARC's ability to generate the necessary funds to maintain production at current levels and fund future growth through capital investment. Management believes that such a measure provides an insightful assessment of ARC's financial performance on a continuing basis by eliminating certain non-cash charges and actual settlements of ARO, of which the nature and timing of expenditures are discretionary. Funds from operations is not a standardized measure and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities.

Funds from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is calculated as follows in Table 29:

(1) ARC has adopted the standard of 6 Mcf:1 bbl when converting natural gas to boe. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six Mcf per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different than the energy equivalency of the 6:1 conversion ratio, utilizing the 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.
