Advisory Statements
Forward-looking Information and Statements and Advisory StatementsThis presentation contains forward-looking information as to ARC’s internal projections, expectations, or beliefs relating to future events or future performance and includes information as to ARC’s future well inventory in its coreareas, its exploration and development drilling and other exploitation plans for 2020 and beyond, and related production expectations, expenditures and cash flows, the Company’s plans for constructing and expanding facilities, thevolume of ARC's crude oil and natural gas reserves and the volume of ARC's crude oil and natural gas resources in the Montney, the recognition of additional reserves and the capital required to do so, the life of ARC's reserves, thevolume and product mix of ARC's crude oil and natural gas production, future results from operations, and operating metrics. These statements represent Management’s expectations or beliefs concerning, among other things,future operating results and various components thereof or the economic performance of ARC. The projections, estimates, and beliefs contained in such forward-looking statements are based on Management's assumptions relatingto the production performance of ARC’s crude oil and natural gas assets, the cost and competition for services, the continuation of ARC’s historical experience with expenses and production, changes in the capital expenditurebudgets, future commodity prices, continuing access to capital, and the continuation of the current regulatory and tax regime in Canada, and necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, such as changes in crudeoil and natural gas prices, infrastructure constraints in relation to the development of the Montney, risks associated with the degree of certainty in resource assessments, and including the business risks discussed in ARC’s annualand quarterly Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other continuous disclosure documents, and related to Management’s assumptions, which may cause actual performance and financial results in future periods to differmaterially from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause actual results to differmaterially from those predicted. Other than the 2020 Guidance, which is discussed quarterly, ARC does not undertake to update any forward-looking information in this document whether as to new information, future events, orotherwise except as required by securities laws and regulations.
ARC has adopted the standard of six thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of natural gas to one barrel (“bbl”) of crude oil ratio when converting natural gas to barrels of oil equivalent ("boe"). Boe may be misleading, particularly if used inisolation. 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 that the value ratiobased on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different than the energy equivalency of the 6 Mcf:1 bbl conversion ratio, utilizing the 6 Mcf:1 bbl conversion ratio may be misleading as an indicationof value.
Throughout this presentation, crude oil refers to tight, light, medium, and heavy crude oil product types as defined by National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”). ARC’s production ofheavy crude oil is considered to be immaterial. Natural gas refers to shale gas and conventional natural gas product types as defined by NI 51-101. ARC’s production of conventional natural gas is considered to be immaterial.ARC’s core producing properties that are considered to be shale gas include Attachie, Dawson, Parkland (including parts of Tower), and Sunrise, and as such, natural gas, condensate, and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) aredisclosed. ARC’s core producing properties that are considered to be tight oil include Ante Creek and parts of Tower, and as such, crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs are disclosed. ARC’s core producing property that is considered tobe light crude oil is Pembina, and as such, crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs are disclosed.
Throughout this presentation, when condensate is disclosed, it is done so as it is the product type that is measured at the first point of sale. As per the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation (“COGE”) Handbook, condensate is a by-product of the NGLs product type. NGLs by-products include ethane, butane, propane, and pentanes-plus (condensate).
Non-GAAP MeasuresThroughout this presentation, ARC uses the terms netback and return on average capital employed (“ROACE”) to analyze financial and operational performance. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaningprescribed under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Netback
ARC calculates netback on a total and per boe basis as commodity sales from production less royalties, operating, and transportation expense. ARC discloses netback both before and after the effect of realized gain or loss on riskmanagement contracts. Realized gain or loss represent the portion of risk management contracts that have settled in cash during the period and disclosing this impact provides Management and investors with transparent measuresthat reflect how ARC’s risk management program can impact its netback. Management believes that netback is a key industry benchmark and a measure of performance for ARC that provides investors with information that iscommonly used by other oil and gas producers. The measurement on a per boe basis assists Management with evaluating operational performance on a comparable basis.
Return on Average Capital Employed
ARC calculates ROACE, expressed as a percentage, as net income (loss) plus interest and total income tax expense (recovery) divided by the average of the opening and closing capital employed for the 12 months precedingperiod end. Capital employed is the total of net debt plus shareholders’ equity. ROACE since inception is the annual average net income (loss) plus interest and total income tax expense (recovery) for the years 1996 to 2020 YTDdivided by the average of the opening and closing capital employed over the same period. Refer to the "Capital Management" note in ARC’s financial statements for additional discussion on net debt. ARC uses ROACE as ameasure of long-term operational performance, to measure how effectively Management utilizes the capital it has been provided and to demonstrate to shareholders the sustainability of its business model and that capital has beeninvested profitably over the long term.

Capital expenditures before land and net property acquisitions (dispositions) ($ millions) 300 213.9(1) Given ongoing uncertainty, continued market volatility, and the potential for both voluntary and involuntary production curtailments over the coming months, there is considerable uncertainty embedded into ARC’s 2020 guidance items.(2) Guidance does not incorporate the potential impact that third-party transportation restrictions may have on ARC's natural gas production.(3) Comprises expense recognized under the Restricted Share Unit and Performance Share Unit Plans, Share Option Plan, and Long-term Restricted Share Award Plan, and excludes compensation expense under the Deferred Share Unit Plan.
In periods where substantial share price fluctuation occurs, G&A expense is subject to greater volatility.(4) Excludes accretion of asset retirement obligation.(5) The current income tax estimate varies depending on the level of commodity prices.

Reserves and Resources Disclosure
All reserves in this presentation are, unless indicated otherwise, as at December 31, 2019 as evaluated by GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. (“GLJ”) in accordance with thedefinitions, standards, and procedures contained in the COGE Handbook and NI 51-101. Resources volumes for the Montney are as at December 31, 2018 as evaluatedby GLJ in accordance with the definitions, standards, and procedures contained in the COGE Handbook and NI 51-101 .
TPIIP, DPIIP, and UPIIP have been estimated using a one per cent porosity cut-off for shale gas and tight oil.Reserves volumes for ARC’s Montney assets and elsewhere in this presentation are, unless indicated otherwise, Proved plus Probable, while the resource categories for the
Montney in this presentation are “Best Estimates”.All reserves and resources volumes for the Montney and elsewhere in this presentation are company gross.Gas volumes are “sales” for reserves and resource and raw gas for DPIIP and TPIIP.The tight oil DPIIP is a stock tank barrel.All DPIIP and TPIIP other than cumulative production, reserves, Contingent Resources, and Prospective Resources have been categorized as unrecoverable.The amount of natural gas and liquids ultimately recovered from ARC’s the Montney resource will be primarily a function of the future price of both commodities.

Definitions of Reserves and Resources
Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of crude oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a givendate, based on the analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical, and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which aregenerally accepted as being reasonable. Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates as follows:
Proved Reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered willexceed the estimated proved reserves.Probable Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantitiesrecovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.
Resources encompasses all petroleum quantities that originally existed on or within the earth’s crust in naturally occurring accumulations, including Discovered andUndiscovered (recoverable and unrecoverable) plus quantities already produced. "Total Resources" is equivalent to "Total Petroleum Initially-in-Place". Resources areclassified in the following categories:
Total Petroleum Initially-in-Place ("TPIIP") is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantityof petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to bediscovered.Discovered Petroleum Initially-in-Place ("DPIIP") is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior toproduction. The recoverable portion of DPIIP includes production, reserves, and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable.Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using establishedtechnology or technology under development but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies.Economic Contingent Resources ("ECR") are those Contingent Resources which are currently economically recoverable.Project Maturity Subclass Development Not Viable is defined as a Contingent Resource that is not viable in the conditions prevailing at the effective date of theevaluation, and where no further data acquisition or evaluation is planned and therefore has not been assigned a low chance of development.Project Maturity Subclass Development Pending is defined as a Contingent Resource that has been assigned a high chance of development and the resolution of finalconditions for development are being actively pursued.Project Maturity Subclass Development Unclarified is defined as a Contingent Resource that requires further appraisal to clarify the potential for development and hasbeen assigned a lower chance of development until contingencies can be clearly defined.
Definitions of Reserves and Resources
Undiscovered Petroleum Initially-in-Place ("UPIIP") is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to bediscovered. The recoverable portion of UPIIP is referred to as "prospective resources" and the remainder as "unrecoverable".Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application offuture development projects.Unrecoverable is that portion of DPIIP and UPIIP quantities which is estimated, as of a given date, not to be recoverable by future development projects. A portion ofthese quantities may become recoverable in the future as commercial circumstances change or technological developments occur; the remaining portion may never berecovered due to the physical/chemical constraints represented by subsurface interaction of fluids and reservoir rocks.
Uncertainty Ranges are described by the COGE Handbook as low, best, and high estimates for reserves and resources. The Best Estimate is considered to be the bestestimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. Ifprobabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 per cent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.
