Q4 2024 Review

Hangingstone Facilities: Bitumen Production Results:

(bbls/d)	Q1 2024		Q2 2024		Q3 2024		Q4 2024		Full Year 2024
Expansion Asset		17,361		15,824		16,126		16,047		16,338
Demo Asset		2,306		3,169		2,999		3,337		2,954
Consolidated		19,667		18,993		19,125		19,384		19,292

Greenfire’s production in the fourth quarter of 2024 averaged 19,384 bbls/d, reflecting a 1% increase compared to the prior quarter, while the full-year 2024 production averaged 19,292 bbls/d. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter totaled $13.2 million, with full-year 2024 capital expenditures amounting to $91.8 million. Adjusted free cash flow for the fourth quarter was $39.8 million, bolstered by more favorable WCS differentials, as well as lower operating and capital spending, with the full-year 2024 at $80.1 million.

Expansion Asset: Production in the fourth quarter of 2024 remained relatively stable compared to the third quarter, which was lower than anticipated due to reduced steam generation performance in December 2024.

Demo Asset: Production in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased compared to the third quarter and averaged 4,300 bbls/d in November and December 2024, which is driven by the activation of three additional redevelopment wells and the startup of the second disposal well following the completion of scheduled annual maintenance in October 2024.

2025 Operational Update

Production Overview

The Company’s production for 2025 to date is approximately 18,000 bbls/d, reflecting a 7% decrease compared to the previous quarter. This reduction is attributed to the Expansion Asset, where ongoing steam generation equipment repairs, unexpected facility downtime and natural production declines have impacted production output. At present, one of the four steam generation units is offline with an associated impact on production at the Expansion Asset of 1,500 to 2,250 bbls/d. The Company is implementing mitigation strategies to limit production impacts, including developing a comprehensive plan to restore full steam generation capacity and will provide updates in due course.

Comprehensive Review of Future Development Plans

The Company is currently conducting a comprehensive evaluation of its development plans, capital expenditures, and operational strategies for both the Expansion Asset and the Demo Asset. To address declines at the Expansion Asset, the Company anticipates that future development initiatives will involve drilling new well pairs on undeveloped reservoir, subject to approval from Greenfire’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). At the Demo Asset, future development plans will prioritize optimizing base production.

Emissions Reporting and Regulatory Engagement

Following the changes in Greenfire’s board of directors as a result of the WEF Acquisition, it was brought to the Company’s attention that Greenfire’s sulphur dioxide emissions may have been underreported. Prior management have been terminated. Greenfire takes its regulatory obligations very seriously and immediately reported the potential exceedance to the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”). Greenfire is currently in discussions with the AER and is exploring remedies, including potentially adding sulphur recovery units to the Expansion Asset. The extent of any potential exceedance and any remedies, penalties or orders imposed by the AER are unknown at this time.

2025 Corporate Updates

●

Following the appointment of the new leadership team for the Company on February 11, 2025 and as noted above, Greenfire is undertaking a thorough review of its development plans, cost structures, and operational strategy. Upon completion, the Company intends to provide details of its new development plans.

●

In March of 2025, the Company completed an amendment to the 2028 Note Indenture, which had received requisite approval of the holders of the 2028 Notes, to increase the permitted capital expenditures in any twelve-month period from $100 million to US$150 million.

●

Following the change of control in relation to the recent acquisition of approximately 56.5% of the Company’s common shares by certain limited partnerships comprising Waterous Energy Fund, the Board determined to accelerate the expiry dates of the outstanding performance warrants to April 30, 2025, all in accordance with the terms of the warrant plan agreement. There are 2,178,021 performance warrants currently outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $2.14 to $11.09 per common share.

●

Greenfire executed an updated WTI hedging program in the first quarter of 2025 to enhance price certainty for a portion of the Company’s production. The Company replaced its existing WTI costless collar contracts, which had a price range average of approximately US$57/bbl to US$83/bbl, with fixed-price swaps covering 9,400 bbls/d of WTI at an average price of approximately C$101/bbl for the full year 2025.

Greenfire plans to host a conference call on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at 7:00 a.m. Mountain Time (9:00 a.m. Eastern Time), during which members of the Company’s executive team will discuss its Q4 2024 results as well as host a question-and-answer session with investors.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

Certain financial measures in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures or ratios and capital management measures. These measures are not defined by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. These non-GAAP and capital management measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. This press release also contains supplementary financial measures and ratios. Supplementary financial measures are derived from IFRS.

Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios include operating netback, operating netback, excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts, adjusted funds flow, adjusted free cash flow and per barrel figures associated with non-GAAP financial measures. Capital management measures include net debt. Supplementary financial measures and ratios include gross profit, capital expenditures and depletion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Operating Netback (including per barrel ($/bbl)) and Operating Netback, excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts (including per barrel ($/bbl))

Gross profit is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to operating netback and operating netback, excluding realized (gain) loss on risk management contracts which are non-GAAP measures. These measures are not intended to represent gross profit, net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Operating netback, excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts is comprised of gross profit, plus loss on risk management contracts, less gain on risk management contracts and less depletion expense on the Company’s operating assets. Operating netback, excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts per barrel ($/bbl) is calculated by dividing operating netback , excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts by the Company’s bitumen sales volume in a specified period. Operating netback is further adjusted for realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts, as appropriate. Operating netback per barrel ($/bbl) is calculated by dividing operating netback by the Company’s bitumen sales volume in a specified period. When Operating netback is expressed on a per barrel basis it is a non-GAAP ratio. Operating netback and operating netback, excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts are financial measures widely used in the oil and gas industry as supplementary measures of a Company’s efficiency and ability to generate cash flow for debt repayments, capital expenditures or other uses.

The following table is a reconciliation of gross profit to operating netback:

Adjusted Funds Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted funds flow, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not intended to represent cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS.

The adjusted funds flow measure allows management and others to evaluate the Company’s ability to fund its capital programs and meet its ongoing financial obligations using cash flow internally generated from ongoing operating related activities. We compute adjusted funds flow as cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non-cash working capital, less transaction costs and transactions considered non-recurring in nature or outside of normal business operations.

Cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure. Management uses adjusted free cash flow as an indicator of the efficiency and liquidity of its business, measuring its funds after capital investment that are available to manage debt levels and return capital to shareholders. By removing the impact of current period property, plant and equipment expenditures from adjusted free cash flow, management monitors its adjusted free cash flow to inform its capital allocation decisions. We compute adjusted free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non-cash working capital, less transaction costs, transactions considered non-recurring in nature or outside of normal business operations, property, plant and equipment expenditures and acquisition costs.

The following table is a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to adjusted funds flow and adjusted free cashflow:

Net debt		(253,510	)		(260,755	)		(279,451	)

Net debt is a capital management measure. Long-term debt is a GAAP measure that is the most directly comparable financial statement measure to net debt. Net debt is comprised of long-term debt, adjusted for current assets and current liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet, and excludes the current portions of risk management contracts and warranty liability. Management uses net debt to monitor the Company’s current financial position and to evaluate existing sources of liquidity. Net debt is used to estimate future liquidity and whether additional sources of capital are required to fund planned operations.

1P and 2P before-tax PV10, net of debt and cash

1P and 2P before-tax PV10, net of debt and cash is comprised of before tax present value is calculated using the estimated net present value of all future net revenue from our reserves, before income taxes discounted at 10%, as estimated by McDaniel effective December 31, 2024, less face value of its term debt plus cash and cash equivalents.

Supplementary Financial Measures

Depletion

The term “depletion” or “depletion expense” is the portion of depletion and depreciation expense reflecting the cost of development and extraction of the Company’s bitumen reserves.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is a supplementary financial measure prepared on a consistent basis with IFRS. Greenfire uses gross profit to assess its core operating performance before considering other expenses such as general and administrative costs, financing costs, and income taxes. Gross profit is calculated as oil sales, net of royalties, plus gains on risk management contracts, less losses on risk management contracts, diluent expense, operating expense, depletion expense on the Company’s operating assets, transportation expenses and marketing expenses.

Management believes that gross profit provides investors, analysts, and other stakeholders with useful insight into the Company’s ability to generate profitability from its core operations before non-operating expenses. When gross profit is expressed on a per barrel basis it is a supplementary financial ratio.
