Three months ended March 31, 2025 ("first quarter" or "Q1") Highlights
- Recognized net income of $80.6 million ($0.82 per share basic) compared to net income of $60.1 million ($0.58 per share basic) in the comparative quarter of 2024. The increase from the comparative quarter is largely related to a decrease in current and deferred tax expense, partially offset by a decrease in oil revenues from lower oil volumes sold.
- Generated quarterly funds flow provided by operations ("FFO")(1) of $121.9 million ($1.24 per share basic)(2)) compared to $148.3 million ($1.43 per share basic)(2)) in the comparative quarter of 2024.
- Produced an operating netback of $39.40/boe(2) (Q1 2024 - $43.55/boe(2)) and an FFO netback of $30.90/boe(2) (Q1 2024 - $31.32/boe(2)) from an average Brent price of $74.98/bbl (Q1 2024 - $81.87/bbl).
- Incurred $57.1 million of capital expenditures(3).
- Acquired the remaining 25% working interest in the Azogue field in Block LLA-32 and the remaining 12.5% working interest in the remainder of Block LLA-32, resulting in a 100% working interest in the Block.
- Generated $64.9 million of free funds flow(3) that was used for return of capital initiatives, $10.0 million of bank debt repayment and increasing working capital surplus; working capital surplus(1) was $69.0 million and cash was $81.0 million at quarter end.
- Paid a $0.385 per share(4) regular quarterly dividend and repurchased 524,900 shares pursuant to the Company's normal course issuer bid ("NCIB").

Change in Operating Netback by Component Q1/24 vs. Q1/25
Overall, the Company's benchmark Brent crude oil price decreased by $6.89/bbl, while revenue decreased by $3.51/boe in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase in revenue relative to the Brent crude benchmark decrease was mainly a result of improved location and quality differentials. Royalties decreased by $1.99/boe in the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2024 mainly as a result of lower production in the first quarter of 2025 in areas where high price share royalties are applicable resulting in lower higher price share royalties and lower realized prices. Production expense in the quarter increased by $1.77/boe compared to the first quarter of 2024 mainly as a result of increased fixed cost absorption and electrical power costs, partially offset by lower well workover and facility maintenance and the depreciation of the Colombian peso. Transportation expense in the quarter increased by $0.86/boe compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Overall, the operating netback decreased by $4.15/boe compared to a Brent benchmark crude price decrease of $6.89/bbl.

Change in Operating Netback by Component Q4/24 vs. Q1/25
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company's benchmark Brent oil price increased by $0.97/bbl, while revenue increased by $3.56/boe as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in revenue relative to the Brent crude benchmark increase was mainly a result of improved location and quality differentials. Royalties decreased by $0.21/boe mainly as a result of lower production in the first quarter of 2025 in areas where high price share royalties are applicable resulting in lower higher price share royalties. Production expense decreased by $1.12/boe mainly as a result of lower well workover and facility maintenance, and electrical power costs, partially offset by increased fixed cost absorption and the appreciation of the Colombian peso. Transportation expense in the quarter increased by $0.39/boe compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Overall, the operating netback increased by $4.50/boe compared to a Brent benchmark crude price increase of $0.97/bbl.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales and Other Revenue
a) Average Daily Production and Sales Volumes (boe/d)
| For the three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Block LLA-34 | 22,210 | 29,149 |
| Southern Llanos Basin | 14,055 | 18,820 |
| Northern Llanos Basin | 4,341 | 2,808 |
| Magdalena Basin | 2,251 | 2,003 |
| Total Crude Oil Production | 42,857 | 52,780 |
| Natural gas production | 801 | 558 |
| Total Crude oil and natural gas production | 43,658 | 53,338 |
| Crude oil inventory draw (build) | 192 | (1,308) |
| Average daily sales of produced oil and natural gas | 43,850 | 52,030 |
| Purchased oil | 13 | 11 |
| Sales Volumes | 43,863 | 52,041 |
Crude oil and natural gas production for the first quarter of 2025 averaged 43,658 boe/d, which was in line with the Company's expectations. The quarter progressed steadily, which is aligned with the Company's activity plan to support a growing second half 2025 production profile. For Q2 2025, average production is expected to similar to Q1 2025. April 2025 average production was 41,400 boe/d, with production generally consistent with lower activity levels and modest capital outlay in Q1 2025, as well as higher than budgeted downtime due to weather factors. Higher downtime levels have normalized and initial average production rates in May are roughly 43,200 boe/d.
Crude oil and natural gas production for the first quarter of 2025 decreased approximately 4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 production of 45,297 boe/d and a decrease of approximately 18% from the first quarter of 2024 production of 53,338 boe/d.
The decrease in oil and natural gas production in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 is mainly the result of decreased oil production at Block LLA-34 and Cabrestero Block in the Southern Llanos Basin mainly as a result of natural decline as well as reduced level of new development activity in alignment with a lower capital spending level. Production in the Northern Llanos Basin in the first quarter of 2025 was higher compared to the first quarter of 2024 as production in the first quarter of 2024 was impacted by temporary shut-ins on the Capachos Block due to security concerns.
Oil and natural gas sales in the first quarter of 2025 were 43,863 boe/d compared to 52,041 boe/d for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in oil sales volumes was a result of the decrease in oil production from the comparative period.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brent ($/bbl) | 74.98 | 74.01 | 78.71 | 85.03 | 81.87 |
| Parex location and quality differential ($/bbl) | (2.26) | (5.16) | (5.46) | (3.84) | (4.75) |
| Parex wellhead sales discount ($/bbl) | (5.67) | (4.84) | (4.18) | (5.50) | (6.10) |

(1) Applies only to direct export cargo sales where Parex incurs the pipeline fees directly. See "Transportation Expense".
(2) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
During the first quarter of 2025, the differential between Brent reference pricing and the Company's realized oil sale price was $7.93/bbl. The differential to Brent crude during the first quarter of 2025 decreased by $2.07/bbl compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 where the differential was $10.00/bbl. Compared to the first quarter of 2024 Parex's realized price decreased from a differential of $10.85/bbl to $7.93/bbl which was primarily driven by improvements in location and quality differential, mainly due to narrower heavy oil differentials.
Differences between Parex's realized price and Brent crude price are mainly related to location and quality adjustments, wellhead sale marketing contracts, and the timing of oil sales compared to quarter averages. The location and quality differential between Brent crude pricing also affects Parex's realized sales price and is set in liquid global markets and therefore attributed to factors that are beyond the Company's control making it inherently difficult to forecast.
Parex's realized price differential to Brent crude can fluctuate period over period due to, among other factors, the type of sales contracts and the accounting treatment for oil sold at the wellhead versus direct export sales contracts.
The current Vasconia differential to Brent is approximately $2/bbl, comparable to the first quarter 2025 differential of $2.26/bbl, and improved from the fourth quarter 2024 differential of $5.16/bbl. This improvement is likely a result of tariff tensions impacting world crude pricing.

c) Natural Gas Sales and Realized Prices
| For the three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Natural gas sales ($000's) | $ 5,758 | $ 2,555 |
| Realized sales price ($/Mcf)(1) | 13.31 | 8.39 |
(1) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
Parex's natural gas sales were $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $2.6 million in the comparative period of 2024. The increase in natural gas sales from the comparative period of 2024 is primarily related to increased volumes sold from the Capachos and VIM-1 Blocks.

e) Crude Oil Inventory in Transit
As at March 31, ($000s)
| Crude oil in transit | 2025 | 2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | $ 1,269 | $ 8,663 |
At March 31, 2025, the Company had 31.3 mbbls of crude oil inventory compared to 224.7 mbbls at March 31, 2024, which was injected into Colombian pipelines. The inventory was valued based on direct and indirect expenditures (including production costs, certain transportation costs, depletion expense and royalty expense) at $41/bbl at March 31, 2025 compared to $39/bbl at March 31, 2024 incurred in bringing the crude oil to its existing condition and location.
A reconciliation of quarter to quarter crude oil inventory movements is provided below:
| For the periods ended (mbbls) | Mar. 31, 2025 | Dec. 31, 2024 | Sep. 30, 2024 | Jun. 30, 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crude oil inventory in transit - beginning of the period | 48.5 | 240.6 | 253.1 | 224.7 |
| Oil production | 3,857.1 | 4,087.7 | 4,309.4 | 4,802.1 |
| Oil sales | (3,875.6) | (4,279.8) | (4,326.2) | (4,778.6) |
| Purchased oil | 1.3 | — | 4.3 | 4.9 |
| Crude oil inventory in transit - end of the period | 31.3 | 48.5 | 240.6 | 253.1 |
| % of period production | 0.8 | 1.2 | 5.6 | 5.3 |
Crude oil inventory build and (draw) from period to period are subject to factors that the Company does not control such as timing of the number of shipments from storage to export. The Company expects crude oil inventory in future periods to remain in line with normal historic levels of below 5% of period production.
f) Purchased Oil
| For the three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Purchased oil expense ($000s) | $ 192 | $ 101 |
Purchased oil expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.2 million compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Purchased oil expense has increased compared to the comparative period of 2024 as a result of an increase in oil blending operations and purchases of partner crude oil. Transportation costs are incurred by the Company to transport purchased oil to sale delivery points.
g) Other Revenue
The Company's other revenue includes pipeline transportation revenue and revenue related to energy generation and use of infrastructure.

| Economic rights(2) | 14,858 | 25,424 |
| Royalties ($000s) | $ 36,405 | $ 53,082 |
| Per unit ($/boe)(3) | 9.22 | 11.21 |
| Percentage of sales(3) | 14 | 16 |
(1) Base royalties are sliding scale royalties based on field production and payable to the Colombian National Hydrocarbon Agency ("ANH"). Refer to the Company's AIF, which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.
(2) Economic rights include high price share royalties applicable to production in excess of 5 million barrels of oil and X-Factor royalties are an additional royalty applicable to heavy oil production, both payable to ANH. Refer to the Company's AIF, which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.
(3) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 royalties as a percentage of sales were 14% compared to 16% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Fourth quarter 2024 royalties as a percentage of sales were 15%. The decrease in royalties as a percentage of sales from the 2024 comparative period was mainly a result of lower production in the first quarter of 2025 in areas where high price share royalties are applicable resulting in decreased higher price share royalties and lower Benchmark WTI prices.
Benchmark WTI prices are used in the high price share royalty ("HPR") calculation. Effectively, higher realized WTI oil prices result in a higher royalty percentage realized. Benchmark WTI prices for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $71.56 compared to $76.97 for the 2024 comparative period and $70.37 in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The decrease in royalty expense to $36.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $53.1 million for the 2024 comparative period is mainly as a result of lower production in the first quarter of 2025 in areas where higher price share royalties are applicable resulting in lower high price share royalties.
For further information concerning the HPR please refer to the Company's AIF, which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.

Production Expense
| For the three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Production expense ($000s) | $ 56,858 | $ 59,824 |
| Per unit ($/boe)(1) | 14.41 | 12.64 |
(1) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
Production expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $14.41/boe compared to $12.64/boe for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Production expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $15.53/boe.
The table below provides a reconciliation of the variance in production expense per boe by its main components:
| Q1 2025 vs Q4 2024 | Q1 2025 vs Q1 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Comparative period production expense per boe(1) | $ 15.53 | $ 12.64 |
| Power generation | (0.56) | 1.14 |
| Well workovers and facility maintenance | (2.03) | (0.97) |
| Colombian pesos ("COP") appreciation (depreciation) | 0.54 | (0.92) |
| Fixed costs absorption | 0.77 | 2.49 |
| Other variable costs | 0.16 | 0.03 |
| Current period production expense per boe(1) | $ 14.41 | $ 14.41 |
(1) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
The increase in production expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 over the three months ended March 31, 2024 comparative period is mainly the result of fixed costs in 2025 being spread over lower production resulting in increased per boe costs, increased cost of electrical power that supplies fields with required power to operate, partially offset by lower well workover and facility maintenance the first quarter of 2025 over the 2024 comparative period and the depreciation of the COP.
Colombia experienced an El Niño-induced drought that led to an escalation in power costs across the country during 2024. Colombia is heavily reliant on hydroelectric power. Power costs have started to decrease in Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024 however, costs were still elevated compared to Q1 2024.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, first quarter 2025 production expense per boe has decreased due to lower well workover and facility maintenance and electrical power costs, partially offset by increased fixed costs being spread over lower production resulting in increased per boe costs and the appreciation of the COP. Production expense per boe is estimated to be approximately $15-16/boe for 2025.

| Per unit ($/boe)(1) | 4.26 | 3.40 |
(1) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
Transportation expense includes trucking costs incurred to transport production to several offloading stations for sale and in some instances an oil transportation tariff from delivery point to the buyer's facility and pipeline tariffs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 the cost of transportation on a per boe basis was $4.26/boe compared to $3.87/boe in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $3.40/boe for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Transportation expense will fluctuate period over period due to the mix of sales contract types in force during the period.
The combined transportation expense and price differential from Brent, on a per boe basis, has decreased from the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2024. See "Crude Oil Reference and Realized Prices".

| Per unit ($/boe)(1) | 4.52 | 3.95 |
(1) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
Net G&A was $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross G&A was $21.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (three months ended March 31, 2024 - $22.0 million).
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, on a per boe basis, net G&A has increased by 14% to $4.52 from $3.95 in comparative period of 2024. This is mainly a result of lower production resulting in increased per boe costs.
The Company's G&A expense is denominated in local currencies of Colombian peso and Canadian dollars which as they appreciate/depreciate have an impact on G&A expense. Refer to the "Foreign Exchange Sensitivity Analysis" for further information.

Share-Based Compensation
| ($000s) | For the three months ended March 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Equity settled share-based compensation expense | $ 180 | $ 198 |
| Cash settled share-based compensation expense (recovery) | 1,912 | (2,661) |
| Total share-based compensation expense (recovery) | $ 2,092 | $ (2,463) |
Share-based compensation expense was $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a recovery of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Equity settled share-based compensation expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Equity settled share-based compensation includes the Company's stock option plan.
Cash settled share-based compensation relates to the Company's cash settled incentive plans and includes cash or share settled restricted share units and performance share units ("CosRSUs and "CosPSUs"), long duration restricted share units and performance share units ("LDRSUs and "LDPSUs"), cash settled restricted share units ("CRSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2025 there was an expense of $1.9 million related to cash settled incentive plans compared to a recovery of $2.7 million for the same period in 2024. This increase in expense is mainly attributable to additional units issued, partially offset an 8% decrease in Parex's share price in the first quarter of 2025. The recovery in the first quarter of 2024 is mainly attributable to the 13% decrease in Parex's share price during the period, partially offset by additional units issued.
Obligations for payments of cash under the Company's cash settled incentive plans are accrued as an expense over the vesting period based on the fair value of the units as described in note 16 of the interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As at March 31, 2025, the total cash settled incentive plans liability accrued was $11.7 million (December 31, 2024 - $19.9 million).
Cash payments to settle cash settled share-based compensation in the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $10.7 million compared to $19.0 million for the same period in 2024.

| DD&A expense ($000s) | $ 50,419 | $ 52,231 |
| Per unit ($/boe)(1) | 12.83 | 10.76 |
(1) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
First quarter 2025 DD&A was $50.4 million ($12.83/boe) compared to $52.2 million ($10.76/boe) for the same period in 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 future development costs of $411.9 million (three months ended March 31, 2024 - $396.4 million) were included in the depletion calculation.
First quarter 2025 DD&A of $12.83/boe is comparable to the fourth quarter of 2024 of $12.95/boe and has increased from the comparative period in 2024 of $10.76/boe due to adding to the depletable base through capital expenditures made during 2024 and the transfer of Arauca, partially offset by a lower depletion rate associated with reduced production.

Foreign Exchange

|---|---|---|
| ($000s) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Foreign exchange (gain) | $ (1,584) | $ (1,168) |

| Average foreign exchange rates | ||
| USD$/Cdn$ | 1.44 | 1.35 |
| USD$/COP | 4,193 | 3,915 |
The Company's main exposure to foreign currency risk relates to the pricing of foreign currency denominated in Cdn and COP, as the Company's functional currency is the USD. The Company has exposure in Colombia and Canada on costs, such as capital expenditures, local wages, royalties and income taxes, all of which may be denominated in local currencies. The main drivers of foreign exchange gains and losses recorded on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income are the COP denominated income tax payable and tax withholdings receivable, accounts payable and accounts receivable. The timing of payment settlements, accruals and their adjustments have impacts on foreign exchange gains/losses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total foreign exchange gains of $1.6 million were recorded compared to gains of $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses may be reversed in the future as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates and are recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company reviews its exposure to foreign currency variations on an ongoing basis and maintains cash deposits primarily in USD and COP denominated deposits in Canada, Switzerland and Colombia.
Foreign Exchange Sensitivity Analysis
$/boe Impact of change in local currency/$USD exchange rate
| Cost component | Estimated percent of cost denominated in local currency | 10% appreciation of local currency | 10% depreciation of local currency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Production expense | 90% | $ 1.30 | $ (1.30) |
| Transportation expense | 50% | $ 0.21 | $ (0.21) |
| G&A expense | 100% | $ 0.45 | $ (0.45) |
The table above displays the estimated per boe impact of a change in Parex's local currencies and the effect on Parex's key cost components. The component impact in $/boe terms uses Q1 2025 per boe costs. This analysis ignores all other factors impacting cost structure including, but not limited to, efficiencies, cost reduction strategies, and cost inflation.
As at March 31, 2025, with other variables unchanged, the impact on the Company's financial instruments of a 10% strengthening (weakening) of the Cdn and COP against the USD would have decreased (increased) net income by approximately $4.8 million.
Net Finance Expense

| Cash finance expense | 635 | 732 |
| Net finance expense | $ 3,759 | $ 3,198 |
Bank charges and credit facility fees relate to bank taxes paid in Colombia and the standby fees related to the Company's credit facility. The non-cash components of net finance expense (income) include the accretion on decommissioning and environmental liabilities, other and the expected credit loss provision (recovery).
Risk Management
Management of cash flow variability is an integral component of Parex's business strategy. Changing business conditions are monitored regularly and, where material, reviewed with the Board to establish risk management guidelines to be used by management. The risk exposure inherent in movements in the price of crude oil, fluctuations in the USD/COP exchange rate and interest rate movements are all proactively reviewed by Parex and as considered appropriate may be managed through the use of derivatives primarily with financial institutions that are members of Parex's syndicated bank credit facility. The Company considers these derivative contracts to be an effective means to manage and forecast cash flow.
Parex has elected not to apply IFRS prescribed "hedge accounting" rules and, accordingly, pursuant to IFRS the fair value of the financial contracts is recorded at each period-end. The fair value may change substantially from period to period depending on commodity and foreign exchange forward strip prices for the financial contracts outstanding at the balance sheet date. The change in fair value from period-end to period-end is reflected in the earnings for that period. As a result, earnings may fluctuate considerably based on the period-ending commodity and foreign exchange forward strip prices, in respect of any outstanding commodity or foreign exchange derivative contracts.

Income Tax
| For the three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| ($000s) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Current tax expense | $ 11,887 | $ 38,810 |
| Deferred tax (recovery) expense | (8,809) | 37,007 |
| Tax expense | $ 3,078 | $ 75,817 |
| Effective current tax rate on funds flow provided by operations before tax(1) | 9 % | 21 % |
(1) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
Current tax expense in the first quarter of 2025 was $11.9 million compared to $38.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The significant decrease in current tax expense from the 2024 comparative period is the result of lower operating cash flows before tax and the Company being subject to a 5% Colombian surtax in the current period compared to a 15% surtax applicable in the comparative period. Certain tax strategies that been deployed over recent years have also reduced current tax expense.
Deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was a recovery of $8.8 million compared to an expense of $37.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The decrease in deferred tax expense from the first quarter comparative period is mainly a result of the reversal of the temporary differences created between the accounting and tax basis in Colombia.
2025 Current Tax Guidance
The table below reflects the expected effective current tax rate on funds flow provided by operations before tax in 2025:
| Brent price assumption | $65/bbl | $70/bbl | $75/bbl | $80/bbl | $85/bbl |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Effect current tax rate on before tax funds flow provided by operations(1) | 0-3% | 3-6% | 8-11% | 13-16% | 18-21% |
(1) Supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory".
The calculation of current and deferred income tax in Colombia is based on a number of variables which can cause swings in current and deferred income tax. These variables include but are not limited to the year-end producing reserves used in calculating depletion for tax purposes, the timing and number of dry hole write-offs permissible for Colombian tax purposes and currency fluctuations.

Property Acquisition
On March 14, 2025, Parex, through a foreign subsidiary, acquired an additional 25% working interest in the Azogue field in the LLA-32 Block and 12.5% working interest in the remainder of the LLA-32 Block (the "LLA-32 Acquisition") resulting in 100% working interest in the Block for the Company. The Company paid total net consideration of $16.0 million.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes results of operation of the LLA-32 Acquisition since the closing date of March 14, 2025. There were no transaction costs associated with the LLA-32 Acquisition.
This transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method whereby the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recorded at fair values. As the fair value of the identifiable assets was determined to equal the purchase price, no goodwill arose on the transaction. The following table summarizes the recognizable assets acquired and consideration paid pursuant to the acquisition:
| Assets acquired and liabilities assumed | |

Factors that Caused Variations Quarter Over Quarter
Trends in net income, oil and natural gas sales and funds flow provided by operations are primarily associated with fluctuations in commodity sales from production which reflect changes in production levels and commodity prices, in addition to fluctuations in foreign currency (see "Foreign Exchange" section). Net income is also impacted by changes in non-cash impairment of property, plant and equipment, exploration and evaluation and long term-inventory assets. Changes in income taxes, as discussed in the section "Income Tax", also impact net income for current and deferred taxes, while funds flow provided by operations is impacted by current income taxes. Working capital trends are primarily associated with fluctuations in funds flow provided by operations, capital and long-term inventory expenditures in accordance with the Company's activities, bank debt borrowing or repayment, timing of settlement of receivables and payables and income taxes and the cost associated with share repurchases and dividend payments.
Refer to "Financial and Operating Results" for detailed discussions on variations during the comparative quarters and to Parex's previously issued annual and interim MD&As for further information regarding changes in prior quarters.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company remains committed to delivering returns to shareholders, while also investing in its assets to provide a total shareholder return. Typically, the Company relies on funds flow provided by operations and its credit facility to meet capital requirements, dividend payments, share repurchases and maintain liquidity. After evaluating its current liquidity, working capital position, projected working capital needs, operational results, and financial forecasts, the Company anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities, and expected funds flow provided by operations will be sufficient to support the growth of the Company and fund development activities. While the Company deems this outlook reasonable, available cash and cash equivalents are subject to variations and risk associated with ordinary operations, and it cannot guarantee that all or part of its liquidity objective will be met, that sufficient internal funds will be generated, or that external financing will be available if needed.
The Company can adjust its capital structure by issuing new equity or debt and making adjustments to its capital expenditure, share buy-back and dividend programs to the extent the capital expenditures are not committed. The Company considers its capital structure currently to include shareholders' equity, the credit facility and its working capital. As at March 31, 2025, shareholders' equity was $1,880.5 million (December 31, 2024 - $1,831.3 million).
As at March 31, 2025, the Company had working capital surplus of $69.0 million$^{(1)}$ as compared to working capital surplus of $59.4 million$^{(1)}$ at December 31, 2024.
As at March 31, 2025, Parex held $81.0 million of unrestricted cash compared to $98.0 million at December 31, 2024. The Company's cash balances reside primarily in current accounts with chartered financial institutions, the majority of which are held on account in Canada, Switzerland and Colombia in USD.
Parex's senior secured credit facility is with a syndicate of three Canadian banks and has a current borrowing base of $240.0 million (December 31, 2024 - $240.0 million). The credit facility is intended to serve as means to increase liquidity and fund cash or letter of credit needs as they arise. As at March 31, 2025, $50.0 million (December 31, 2024 - $60.0 million) was drawn on the credit facility. The credit facility is secured by the Company's Colombian assets and has final maturity date of May 21, 2027. The next annual review is scheduled to occur in May 2026. Parex expects to draw on the credit facility at various times to manage timing differences associated with timing of vendor payments and oil sales collections. Key covenants include a rolling four quarters total funded debt to adjusted EBITDA test of 3:50:1. The Company is in compliance with all covenants.
Refer to note 23 - Commitments and Contingencies of the interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2025 for a description of the performance guarantees as well as the unsecured letters of credit.

Outstanding Share Data
Parex is authorized to issue an unlimited number of voting common shares without nominal or par value. As at March 31, 2025 the Company had 97,814,136 common shares outstanding compared to 98,339,036 at December 31, 2024, a decrease of 0.5%. At May 7, 2025 the number of common shares outstanding has been reduced to 97,554,136 as a result of the Company's NCIB.
The Company has a stock option plan that provides for the issuance of stock options to acquire common shares to the Company's officers, executives and certain employees resulting in common shares issued from treasury.
As at May 7, 2025 Parex has the following securities outstanding:
| Number | % | |
|---|---|---|
| Common shares | 97,554,136 | 99 % |
| Stock options | 1,288,323 | 1 % |
| 98,842,459 | 100 % |
As of the date of this MD&A, total stock options outstanding represent approximately 1% of the total issued and outstanding common shares.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, Parex has entered into arrangements and incurred obligations that will affect the Company's future operations and liquidity. These commitments primarily relate to joint venture farm-in arrangements, business collaboration agreements and exploration work commitments including seismic and drilling activities. The Company has discretion regarding the timing of capital spending for exploration work commitments, provided that the work is completed by the end of the exploration periods specified in the contracts or the Company can negotiate extensions of the exploration periods. The Company's exploration commitments are described in the Company's AIF under "Principal Properties". These obligations and commitments are considered in assessing cash requirements in the discussion of future liquidity.
In Colombia, the Company has provided guarantees to the ANH and Empresa Colombiana de Petróleos S.A., ("Ecopetrol") joint venture blocks related to the exploration work commitments on its Colombian concessions in the amount of $220.5 million as at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $160.7 million). The guarantees have been provided in the form of letters of credit for varying terms that are mainly provided by select Latin American banks on an unsecured basis. The letters of credit issued to the ANH and Ecopetrol are reduced from time to time to reflect the work performed on the various blocks.
At March 31, 2025, the total lease obligation was $5.2 million (December 31, 2024 - $5.2 million) of which $4.5 million (December 31, 2024 - $4.6 million) is classified as long-term in accordance with the lease term.
The following table summarizes the Company's estimated undiscounted commitments as at March 31, 2025:
| ($000s) | Total | <1 year | 1 - 3 years | 3 - 5 years | >5 years |

| Long-term obligation | $ 58,457 | $ 8,720 | $ 67,177 |
The total environmental, decommissioning and restoration obligations were determined by management based on the estimated costs to settle environmental impact obligations incurred and to reclaim and abandon the wells and well sites based on contractual requirements. The obligations are expected to be funded from the Company's internal resources available at the time of settlement.
The total decommissioning and environmental liability is estimated based on the Company's net ownership in wells drilled as at March 31, 2025, the estimated costs to abandon and reclaim the wells and well sites and the estimated timing of the costs to be paid in future periods. The total undiscounted amount of cash flows required to settle the Company's decommissioning liability is approximately $218.3 million as at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 – $216.8 million) with the majority of these costs anticipated to occur in 2033 or later in Colombia. A risk-free discount rate of 11.7% and an inflation rate of 4.0% were used in the valuation of the liabilities (December 31, 2024 – 11.2% risk-free discount rate and a 4% inflation rate). The risk-free discount rate and the inflation rate used are based on forecast Colombia rates.
Included in the decommissioning liability is $9.9 million (December 31, 2024 – $11.7 million) that is classified as a current obligation.
The total undiscounted amount of cash flows required to settle the Company's environmental liability is approximately $21.4 million as at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 – $24.6 million) with the majority of these costs anticipated to occur in 2033 or later in Colombia. A risk-free discount rate of 11.7% and an inflation rate of 4.0% were used in the valuation of the liabilities (December 31, 2024 – 11.2% risk-free discount rate and a 4% inflation rate). The risk-free discount rate and the inflation rate used are based on forecast Colombia rates.
Included in the environmental liability is $2.3 million (December 31, 2024 – $2.9 million) that is classified as a current obligation.
Decommissioning liabilities are considered critical accounting estimates. There are significant uncertainties related to decommissioning expenditures and the impact on the financial statements could be material. The eventual timing of and costs for these expenditures could differ from current estimates. The main factors that can cause expected estimated cash flows in respect of decommissioning liabilities to change are:
- Changes in laws and legislation;
- Construction of new facilities;
- Change in commodity price;
- Change in the estimate of oil reserves and the resulting amendment to the life of reserves;
- Changes in technology; and
- Execution of decommissioning liabilities.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based upon assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the Company cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A, Parex has made assumptions regarding, among other things: current and future commodity prices and royalty regimes; availability of skilled labour; timing and amount of capital expenditures; access to areas of the Company's operations and infrastructure in light of the impact of community unrest on the Company's operations; future exchange rates; the price of oil; the impact of increasing competition; conditions in general economic and financial markets; availability of drilling and related equipment; effects of regulation by governmental agencies and environmental legislation on the Company's operations; recoverability of reserves and future production rates; timing and number of dry hole write-offs permitted for Colombian tax purposes; the anticipated benefits from the voluntary corporate restructuring; royalty rates; future operating costs; foreign exchange rates; the status of litigation; timing of drilling and completion of wells; that the Company will have sufficient cash flow, debt or equity sources or other financial resources required to fund its capital and operating expenditures and requirements as needed; that the Company's conduct and results of operations will be consistent with its expectations; that the Company will have the ability to develop the Company's oil and gas properties in the manner currently contemplated; current or, where applicable, proposed industry conditions, laws and regulations will continue in effect or as anticipated as described herein; that the estimates of the Company's reserves volumes and the assumptions related thereto (including commodity prices and development costs) are accurate in all material respects; that the Company will be able to obtain contract extensions or fulfill the contractual obligations required to retain its rights to explore, develop and exploit any of its undeveloped properties; on-stream timing of production from successful exploration wells; operational performance of non-operated producing fields; pipeline capacity; that Parex will have sufficient financial resources in the future to pay a dividend; that the Board will declare dividends in the future; that Parex will have sufficient financial resources to repurchase shares under its NCIB; that strip prices will remain unchanged; and other matters. The ability of the Company to carry out its business plan is primarily dependent upon the continued support of its shareholders, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and the ability of the Company to obtain financing or generate sufficient cash flow to develop such reserves.

Forward-looking statements and other information contained in this MD&A concerning the oil and natural gas industry in the countries in which it operates and the Company's general expectations concerning this industry are based on estimates prepared by Management using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from resource reports, market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which the Company believes to be reasonable. However, this data is inherently imprecise, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics.

Oil & Gas Matters Advisory
This MD&A contains a number of oil and gas metrics, including operating netbacks and FFO netbacks. These oil and gas metrics have been prepared by management and do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and should not be used to make comparisons. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company's performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods and therefore such metrics should not be unduly relied upon. Management uses these oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide security holders with measures to compare the Company's operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this MD&A, should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes.
The term "Boe" means a barrel of oil equivalent on the basis of 6 thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas to 1 bbl. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl 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 the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 Mcf:1Bbl, utilizing a conversion ratio at 6 Mcf:1 Bbl may be misleading as an indication of value.
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory
This MD&A uses various "non-GAAP financial measures", "non-GAAP ratios", "supplementary financial measures" and "capital management measures" (as such terms are defined in NI 52-112), which are described in further detail below. Such measures are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as alternatives to or more meaningful than the most directly comparable GAAP measures as indicators of Parex's performance.
These measures facilitate management's comparisons to the Company's historical operating results in assessing its results and strategic and operational decision-making and may be used by financial analysts and others in the oil and natural gas industry to evaluate the Company's performance. Further, management believes that such financial measures are useful supplemental information to analyze operating performance and provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's principal business activities.
Set forth below is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures used in this MD&A.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Capital expenditures, is a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company uses to describe its capital costs associated with oil and gas expenditures. The measure considers both property, plant and equipment expenditures and exploration and evaluation asset expenditures which are items in the Company's statement of cash flows for the period and is calculated as follows:
| For the three months ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| ($000s) | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Property, plant and equipment expenditures | $ | 44,951 | $ 40,831 |
| Exploration and evaluation expenditures | 12,103 | 44,590 | |
| Capital expenditures | $ | 57,054 | $ 85,421 |
| ($000s) | December 31, 2024 | September 30, 2024 | For the three months ended |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| June 30, 2024 | |||
| Property, plant and equipment expenditures | $ 62,799 | $ 68,406 | $ 49,214 |
| Exploration and evaluation expenditures | 19,311 | 13,961 | 48,583 |
| Capital expenditures | $ 82,110 | $ 82,367 | $ 97,797 |
PAREX RESOURCES INC.

Free funds flow, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is determined by funds flow provided by operations less capital expenditures. The Company considers free funds flow to be a key measure as it demonstrates Parex's ability to fund return of capital, such as the normal course issuer bid or dividends, without accessing outside funds and is calculated as follows:
