1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SEGMENTED DISCLOSURES

Cenovus Energy Inc., including its subsidiaries, (together “Cenovus” or the “Company”) is an integrated energy company with crude oil and natural gas production operations in Canada and the Asia Pacific region, and upgrading, refining and marketing operations in Canada and the United States (“U.S.”).

Cenovus is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and its common shares and common share purchase warrants are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange. Cenovus’s cumulative redeemable preferred shares series 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 are listed on the TSX. The executive and registered office is located at 4100, 225 6 Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 1N2. Information on the Company’s basis of preparation for these interim Consolidated Financial Statements is found in Note 2.

Management has determined the operating segments based on information regularly reviewed for the purposes of decision making, allocating resources and assessing operational performance by Cenovus’s chief operating decision maker. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated based on their geographic locations, the nature of the businesses or a combination of these factors. The Company evaluates the financial performance of its operating segments primarily based on operating margin.

The Company operates through the following reportable segments:

Upstream Segments

•Oil Sands, includes the development and production of bitumen and heavy oil in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Cenovus’s oil sands assets include Foster Creek, Christina Lake, Sunrise, Lloydminster thermal and Lloydminster conventional heavy oil assets. Cenovus jointly owns and operates pipeline gathering systems and terminals through the equity-accounted investment in Husky Midstream Limited Partnership (“HMLP”). The sale and transportation of Cenovus’s production and third-party commodity trading volumes are managed and marketed through access to capacity on third-party pipelines and storage facilities in both Canada and the U.S. to optimize product mix, delivery points, transportation commitments and customer diversification.

•Conventional, includes assets rich in natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and natural gas within the Elmworth-Wapiti, Kaybob‑Edson, Clearwater and Rainbow Lake operating areas in Alberta and British Columbia and interests in numerous natural gas processing facilities. Cenovus’s NGLs and natural gas production is marketed and transported, with additional third-party commodity trading volumes, through access to capacity on third-party pipelines, export terminals and storage facilities. These provide flexibility for market access to optimize product mix, delivery points, transportation commitments and customer diversification.

•Offshore, includes offshore operations, exploration and development activities in China and the east coast of Canada, as well as the equity-accounted investment in the Husky-CNOOC Madura Ltd. (“HCML”) joint venture in Indonesia.

Downstream Segments

•Canadian Manufacturing, includes the owned and operated Lloydminster upgrading and asphalt refining complex, which converts heavy oil and bitumen into synthetic crude oil, diesel, asphalt and other ancillary products. Cenovus also owns and operates the Bruderheim crude-by-rail terminal and two ethanol plants. The Company’s commercial fuels business across Canada is included in this segment. Cenovus markets its production and third-party commodity trading volumes in an effort to use its integrated network of assets to maximize value.

•U.S. Manufacturing, includes the refining of crude oil to produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt and other products at the wholly-owned Lima, Superior and Toledo refineries, and the jointly-owned Wood River and Borger refineries (jointly owned with operator Phillips 66). Cenovus also markets some of its own and third-party volumes of refined petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and asphalt.

Corporate and Eliminations

Corporate and Eliminations, includes Cenovus-wide costs for general and administrative, financing activities, gains and losses on risk management for corporate related derivative instruments and foreign exchange. Eliminations include adjustments for internal usage of natural gas production between segments, transloading services provided to the Oil Sands segment by the Company’s crude-by-rail terminal, crude oil production used as feedstock by the Canadian Manufacturing and U.S. Manufacturing segments, the sale of condensate extracted from blended crude oil production in the Canadian Manufacturing segment and sold to the Oil Sands segment, and unrealized profits in inventory. Eliminations are recorded based on current market prices.

All amounts in $ millions, unless otherwise indicated

For the periods ended June 30, 2023

In December 2022, Management elected to aggregate the commercial fuels business and the historical retail fuels business with the Canadian Manufacturing segment. The marketing operations of the Canadian Manufacturing segment have similar products and services, customer types, distribution methods and operate in the same regulatory environment as the commercial fuels business. Prior period results have been re-presented; see Note 3.

The following tabular financial information presents segmented information first by segment, then by product and geographic location.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

In these interim Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollars are expressed in Canadian dollars. All references to C$ or $ are to Canadian dollars and references to US$ are to U.S. dollars.

These interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, and have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for income taxes. Income taxes on earnings or loss in the interim period are accrued using the income tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings or loss.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

These interim Consolidated Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors effective July 26, 2023.




3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Accounting policies, a list of critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty can be found in the Company’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Adjustments to Segmented Disclosures

Certain comparative information presented in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) and segment disclosures was revised.

In September 2022, the Company completed the divestiture of the majority of the retail fuels business. In December 2022, Management elected to aggregate the remaining commercial fuels business and the historical retail fuels business into the Canadian Manufacturing segment. Comparative periods have been re-presented to reflect this change, with no impact to net earnings (loss), financial position or cash flows.

The following tables reconcile the amounts previously reported in the segmented disclosures to the corresponding revised amounts:

4. ACQUISITIONS

A) BP-Husky Refining LLC

i) Summary of the Acquisition

On February 28, 2023, Cenovus acquired the remaining 50 percent interest in Toledo from BP Products North America Inc. (“bp”), a joint operation (the “Toledo Acquisition”). The Toledo Acquisition provides Cenovus full ownership and operatorship of the refinery, and further integrates Cenovus’s heavy oil production and refining capabilities. Total consideration for the Toledo Acquisition was US$369 million (C$502 million) in cash, including working capital.

The Toledo Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method pursuant to IFRS 3. Under the acquisition method, assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and the total consideration is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of consideration given over the fair value of the net assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill.

ii) Identifiable Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on Management’s best estimate of fair value. Upon finalizing the fair value of net assets acquired, adjustments to initial estimates, including goodwill, may be required.

The following table summarizes the recognized amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.


As at						February 28, 2023
100 Percent of the Identifiable Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
Cash						69
Accounts Receivable and Accrued Revenues						3
Inventories						453
Property, Plant and Equipment						674
Right-of-Use Assets						33
Other Assets						10
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities						(138)

Lease Liabilities						(33)
Decommissioning Liabilities						(5)
Other Liabilities						(70)
Total Identifiable Net Assets						996

The fair value and gross contractual amount of acquired accounts receivable and accrued revenues is $3 million, all of which is expected to be collectible.

Fair Value of Pre-Existing 50 Percent Ownership Interest in BP-Husky Refining LLC

Prior to the Toledo Acquisition, Toledo was jointly controlled with bp and met the definition of a joint operation under IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements”; therefore, Cenovus recognized its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in its consolidated results. Subsequent to the Toledo Acquisition, Cenovus controls Toledo, as defined under IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, and, accordingly Toledo has been consolidated. As required by IFRS 3, when an acquirer achieves control in stages, the previously held interest is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date with any gain or loss recognized as a revaluation (gain) loss in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). When a disposition includes a foreign operation, the associated cumulative amount of foreign exchange differences are reclassified to earnings as part of the revaluation (gain) loss.

The acquisition-date fair value of the previously held interest was estimated to be $494 million and the net carrying value of Toledo assets was $539 million. On February 28, 2023, Cenovus recognized a non-cash revaluation loss of $33 million ($22 million, after tax) on the re-measurement of its existing interest in Toledo to fair value, net of $12 million in associated cumulative foreign exchange differences.

iv) Integration and Transaction Costs

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, integration costs of $13 million and $28 million, respectively, and transaction costs of $4 million and $9 million, respectively, associated with the Toledo Acquisition were recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).

v) Revenue and Profit Contribution

The acquired business contributed revenues of $604 million and net loss of $176 million for the period from February 28, 2023, to June 30, 2023. On September 20, 2022, an incident occurred at the Toledo Refinery, resulting in the shutdown of the facility. The Toledo Refinery was fully operational in June. If the closing of the Toledo Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023, Cenovus’s consolidated pro forma revenues and net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2023, would have been $24.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. These amounts have been calculated using results from the acquired business, adjusting them for:

•Additional DD&A that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to PP&E had applied from January 1, 2023.

•Additional accretion on the decommissioning liabilities if they had been assumed on January 1, 2023.

•The consequential tax effects.

This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the Toledo Acquisition had actually occurred on January 1, 2023.

B) Sunrise Oil Sands Partnership

On August 31, 2022, Cenovus closed a transaction with BP Canada Energy Group ULC (“bp Canada”) to purchase the remaining 50 percent interest in Sunrise Oil Sands Partnership (“SOSP”), previously a joint operation, in northern Alberta (the “Sunrise Acquisition”). It provided Cenovus with full ownership and further enhanced Cenovus’s core strength in the oil sands.

The final purchase price allocation was based on Management’s best estimate of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. No additional adjustments were made to the purchase price allocation in the period. For more details, see Note 5 of the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Cenovus recorded a current tax expense in all jurisdictions in which the Company operates, other than the U.S. The decrease from the prior year is due to lower earnings in the first six months of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Cenovus incurred a deferred tax recovery of $414 million of which $176 million related to a step-up in the tax basis on the Toledo Acquisition on February 28, 2023.

(1)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the dilutive effect of Cenovus replacement stock options was 1 million common shares. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, net earnings of $24 million and $41 million, respectively, and common shares of 2 million and 2 million, respectively, related to the assumed exercise of the Cenovus replacement stock options were excluded from the calculation of dilutive net earnings (loss) per share as the impact was anti-dilutive.

(2)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, net settlement rights (“NSRs”) of 2 million (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 – nil and 2 million, respectively) were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average number of shares as the effect would have been anti-dilutive or the exercise prices exceeded the market price of Cenovus’s common shares.

As at June 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company’s share of net assets was $358 million (December 31, 2022 – $365 million). These amounts do not equal the 40 percent joint control of the revenues, expenses and net assets of HCML due to differences in the values attributed to the investment and accounting policies between the joint venture and the Company.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, HMLP had net earnings of $84 million (2022 – $80 million). The Company’s share of (income) loss from the equity-accounted affiliate does not equal the 35 percent of the net earnings of HMLP due to the nature of the profit-sharing arrangement as set forth in the partnership agreement. The Company’s share of earnings will fluctuate depending on certain income thresholds of HMLP. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not record its share of pre-tax loss relating to HMLP of $8 million (2022 – pre-tax loss of $6 million).

The Company records its share of equity investment income related to the joint venture only in excess of the cumulated unrecognized loss and is included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) in the Oil Sands segment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received $56 million of distributions from HMLP (2022 – $22 million) and paid $62 million in contributions (2022 – $30 million).

C) Capital Structure

Cenovus’s capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity plus Net Debt. Net Debt includes the Company’s short-term borrowings, and the current and long-term portions of long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Net Debt is used in managing the Company’s capital structure. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility, preserve access to capital markets, ensure its ability to finance internally generated growth and to fund potential acquisitions while maintaining the ability to meet the Company’s financial obligations as they come due. To ensure financial resilience, Cenovus may, among other actions, adjust capital and operating spending, draw down on its credit facilities or repay existing debt, adjust dividends paid to shareholders, purchase the Company’s common shares or preferred shares for cancellation, issue new debt, or issue new shares.

Cenovus monitors its capital structure and financing requirements using, among other things, specified financial measures consisting of Total Debt, Net Debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and DD&A (“Adjusted EBITDA”), Net Debt to Adjusted Funds Flow and Net Debt to Capitalization. These measures are used to steward Cenovus’s overall debt position as measures of Cenovus’s overall financial strength.

Cenovus targets a Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio and a Net Debt to Adjusted Funds Flow ratio of approximately 1.0 times and Net Debt at or below $4 billion over the long-term at a West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) price of US$45.00 per barrel. These measures may fluctuate periodically outside this range due to factors such as persistently high or low commodity prices.

21. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Cenovus has a number of stock-based compensation plans that include NSRs, Cenovus replacement stock options, performance share units (“PSUs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”) and deferred share units.

On February 27, 2023, Cenovus granted PSUs and RSUs to certain employees under its new Performance Share Unit Plan for Local Employees in the Asia Pacific Region and Restricted Share Unit Plan for Local Employees in the Asia Pacific Region. The PSUs are time-vested whole-share units that entitle employees to receive a cash payment equal to the value of a Cenovus common share. The number of units eligible to vest is determined by a multiplier that ranges from zero percent to 200 percent and is based on the Company achieving key pre-determined performance measures. The RSUs are whole-share units and entitle employees to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to the value of a Cenovus common share.

The following tables summarize information related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans:


	Units Outstanding	Units Exercisable
As at June 30, 2023	(thousands)	(thousands)

22. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with HMLP are related party transactions as the Company has a 35 percent ownership interest (see Note 12). As the operator of the assets held by HMLP, Cenovus provides management services for which it recovers shared service costs.

The Company is also the contractor for HMLP and constructs its assets based on fixed price contracts or on a cost recovery basis with certain restrictions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company charged HMLP $31 million and $63 million, respectively, for construction costs and management services (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 – $29 million and $77 million, respectively).

The Company pays an access fee to HMLP for pipeline systems that are used by Cenovus’s blending business. Cenovus also pays HMLP for transportation and storage services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred costs of $71 million and $138 million, respectively, for the use of HMLP’s pipeline systems, as well as for transportation and storage services (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 – $64 million and $133 million, respectively).



23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cenovus’s financial assets and financial liabilities consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, restricted cash, net investment in finance leases, risk management assets and liabilities, investments in the equity of companies, long-term receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings, lease liabilities, contingent payments, long-term debt and other liabilities. Risk management assets and liabilities arise from the use of derivative financial instruments.

A) Fair Value of Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The fair values of restricted cash, net investment in finance leases and long-term receivables approximate their carrying amount due to the specific non-tradeable nature of these instruments.

Long-term debt is carried at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of long-term debt has been determined based on period-end trading prices of long-term debt on the secondary market (Level 2). As at June 30, 2023, the carrying value of Cenovus’s long-term debt was $8.5 billion and the fair value was $7.7 billion (December 31, 2022, carrying value – $8.7 billion; fair value – $7.8 billion).

The Company classifies certain private equity investments as FVOCI as they are not held for trading and fair value changes are not reflective of the Company’s operations. These assets are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other assets. Fair value is determined based on recent private placement transactions (Level 3) when available.

The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of private equity investments classified as FVOCI:

As at December 31, 2022			55
Acquisition			9
Changes in Fair Value (1)			(1)
As at June 30, 2023			63

(1)Changes in fair value are recorded in OCI.

B) Fair Value of Risk Management Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s risk management assets and liabilities consist of crude oil, condensate, natural gas, and refined product futures, as well as renewable power, power and foreign exchange contracts. The Company may also enter into swaps, forwards, and options to manage commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate exposures. The Company’s risk management assets and liabilities are measured as Level 2 or Level 3 prices in the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 prices sourced from observable data or market corroboration refer to the fair value of contracts valued in part using active quotes and in part using observable, market-corroborated data. Level 3 prices are sourced from partially observable data used in internal valuations.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

All amounts in $ millions, unless otherwise indicated

For the periods ended June 30, 2023

Crude oil, natural gas, condensate, refined product and power contracts are recorded at their estimated fair value based on the difference between the contracted price and the period-end forward price for the same commodity, using quoted market prices or the period-end forward price for the same commodity extrapolated to the end of the term of the contract (Level 2). The fair value of foreign exchange rate contracts, and interest rate swaps are calculated using external valuation models that incorporate observable market data, including foreign exchange forward curves (Level 2) and interest rate yield curves (Level 2), respectively. The fair value of cross currency interest rate swaps are calculated using external valuation models that incorporate observable market data, including foreign exchange forward curves (Level 2) and interest rate yield curves (Level 2).

The fair value of renewable power contracts are calculated using internal valuation models that incorporate broker pricing for relevant markets, some observable market prices and extrapolated market prices with inflation assumptions (Level 3). The fair value of renewable power contracts are calculated by Cenovus’s internal valuation team that consists of individuals who are knowledgeable and have experience in fair value techniques.

Risk management assets and liabilities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accounts receivable and accrued revenues, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities (for short-term positions) and other liabilities and other assets (for long-term positions). Changes in fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) within (gain) loss on risk management.

D) Fair Value of Contingent Payments

The variable payment (Level 3) associated with the Sunrise Acquisition is carried at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within contingent payments. Fair value is estimated by calculating the present value of the expected future cash flows using an option pricing model, which assumes the probability distribution for WCS is based on the volatility of WTI options, volatility of Canadian-U.S. foreign exchange rate options and both WTI and WCS futures pricing that have been discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Fair value of the variable payment has been calculated by Cenovus’s internal valuation team, which consists of individuals who are knowledgeable and have experience in fair value techniques. As at June 30, 2023, the fair value of the variable payment was estimated to be $320 million applying a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 5.9 percent.

As at June 30, 2023, average WCS forward pricing for the remaining term of the variable payment is $74.46 per barrel. The average volatility of WTI options and the Canadian-U.S. foreign exchange rates was 36.6 percent and 6.1 percent, respectively. Changes in the following inputs to the option pricing model, with fluctuations in all other variables held constant, would impact earnings before income tax as follows:

Sensitivity Range

Increase

Decrease

WCS Forward Prices

± $10.00 per barrel

(56)

107

WTI Option Volatility

± 10 percent

(1)

A five percent increase or decrease in the Canadian-U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate options would result in a nominal impact on earnings before income tax.



24. RISK MANAGEMENT

Cenovus is exposed to financial risks, including market risk related to commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity power prices as well as credit risk and liquidity risk.

To manage exposure to commodity price movements between when products are produced or purchased and when sold to the customer or used by Cenovus, the Company may periodically enter into financial positions as a part of ongoing operations to market the Company’s production and physical inventory positions of crude oil, natural gas, condensate, refined products, and power consumption. The Company may also enter into arrangements to manage exposure to future carbon compliance costs or to offset select carbon emissions.

The Company entered into risk management positions to help capture incremental margin expected to be received in future periods at the time products will be sold and to mitigate overall exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices related to inventories and physical sales. Mitigation of commodity price volatility may utilize financial positions to protect future cash flows. To manage exposure to interest rate volatility, the Company periodically enters into interest rate swap contracts. To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the Company periodically enters into foreign exchange contracts. To manage interest costs on short-term borrowings, the Company periodically enters into cross currency interest rate swaps. To manage electricity costs associated with the production and transportation of crude oil, the Company may enter into power swaps and other energy instruments, including renewable power contracts. To manage exposure to future carbon costs, power prices, or to generate potential offsets for carbon emissions, the Company may enter into renewable power contracts.

As at June 30, 2023, the fair value of risk management positions was a net asset of $33 million and consisted of crude oil, natural gas, condensate, refined products, power, including renewable power, and foreign exchange rate instruments. As at June 30, 2023, there were foreign exchange contracts with a notional value of US$200 million (December 31, 2022 – US$168 million) and no interest rate contracts or cross currency interest rate swap contracts (December 31, 2022 – $nil).

A) Commodity Price and Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Sensitivities

The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of Cenovus’s risk management positions to independent fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. Management believes the fluctuations identified in the table below are a reasonable measure of volatility.

The impact of fluctuating commodity prices and foreign exchange rates on the Company’s open risk management positions could have resulted in an unrealized gain (loss) impacting earnings before income tax as follows:


As at June 30, 2023	Sensitivity Range	Increase	Decrease
Crude Oil Commodity Price	± US$10.00/bbl Applied to WTI, Condensate and Related Hedges	1	(1)


Refined Products Commodity Price	± US$10.00/bbl Applied to Heating Oil and Gasoline Hedges	(2)	2
Natural Gas Basis Price	± US$0.50/Mcf (1) Applied to Natural Gas Basis Hedges	2	(2)
Power Commodity Price	± C$20.00/Megawatt Hour Applied to Power Hedges	110	(110)
U.S. to Canadian Dollar Exchange Rate	± 0.05 in the U.S. to Canadian Dollar Exchange Rate	16	(19)

(1)One million British thermal units per thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”).

A US$2.50 per barrel increase or decrease in the WCS and Condensate differential price (excluding WCS (Hardisty) differential), and a US$5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in WCS (Hardisty) differential price would result in a nominal unrealized gain (loss) impact to earnings before income tax.

B) Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that the Company may incur a financial loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its financial or performance obligations in accordance with agreed terms. Cenovus has in place a Credit Policy approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, which is designed to ensure that its credit exposures are within an acceptable risk level. The Credit Policy outlines the roles and responsibilities related to credit risk, sets a framework for how credit exposures will be measured, monitored and mitigated, and sets parameters around credit concentration limits.

Cenovus assesses the credit risk of new counterparties and continues risk-based monitoring of all counterparties on an ongoing basis. A substantial portion of Cenovus’s accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. Cenovus’s exposure to its counterparties is within its credit policy tolerances. The maximum credit risk exposure associated with accounts receivable and accrued revenues, net investment in finance leases, risk management assets and long-term receivables is the total carrying value.

As at June 30, 2023, approximately 82 percent (December 31, 2022 – 85 percent) of the Company’s accounts receivable and accrued revenues were with investment grade counterparties, and 98 percent of the Company’s accounts receivable were outstanding for less than 60 days. The associated average expected credit loss on these accounts was 0.5 percent as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – 0.4 percent).

For the periods ended June 30, 2023

C) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet all of its financial obligations as they become due. Liquidity risk also includes the risk of not being able to liquidate assets in a timely manner at a reasonable price. Cenovus manages its liquidity risk through the active management of cash and debt, and by maintaining appropriate access to credit, which may be impacted by the Company’s credit ratings. As disclosed in Note 14, over the long term, Cenovus targets a Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio and Net Debt to Adjusted Funds Flow ratio of approximately 1.0 times at the bottom of the commodity price cycle to manage the Company’s overall debt position.

(1)Includes transportation commitments of $9.1 billion (December 31, 2022 – $9.1 billion) that are subject to regulatory approval or have been approved, but are not yet in service. Terms are up to 20 years subsequent to the commencement of the contract. Estimated tolls reflect the original contract rate and are subject to change pending approval by the Canada Energy Regulator.

(2)Relates to the non-lease components of lease liabilities consisting of operating costs and unreserved parking for office space. Excludes committed payments for which a provision has been provided.

(3)Relates to funding obligations for HCML.

(4)Includes Cenovus’s proportionate share of the commitments related to WRB and joint arrangements in the Offshore segment.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company had commitments with HMLP that included $2.1 billion related to long-term transportation and storage commitments (December 31, 2022 – $2.2 billion).

The Company acquired $538 million of commitments as part of the Toledo Acquisition on February 28, 2023.

There were also outstanding letters of credit aggregating to $390 million (December 31, 2022 – $490 million) issued as security for financial and performance conditions under certain contracts.

B) Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

Cenovus is involved in a limited number of legal claims associated with the normal course of operations. Cenovus believes that any liabilities that might arise from such matters, to the extent not provided for, are not likely to have a material effect on its interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Tax Matters

The tax regulations and legislation and interpretations thereof in the various jurisdictions in which Cenovus operates are continually changing. As a result, there are usually a number of tax matters under review. Management believes that the provision for taxes is adequate.
