1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SEGMENTED DISCLOSURES |
Cenovus Energy Inc. (“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 are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange. 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 in Alberta and British Columbia in the Edson, Clearwater and Rainbow Lake operating areas, in addition to the Northern Corridor, which includes Elmworth and Wapiti. The segment also includes 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 the east coast of Canada and the Asia Pacific region, representing China and the equity-accounted investment in Husky-CNOOC Madura Limited (“HCML”), which is engaged in the exploration for, and production of, NGLs and natural gas in offshore Indonesia.
Downstream Segments
•Canadian Refining, 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. 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. Refining, 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. Cenovus markets its own and third-party refined products.
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 feedstock and internal usage of crude oil, natural gas, condensate, other NGLs and refined products between segments; transloading services provided to the Oil Sands segment by the Company’s crude-by-rail terminal; the sale of condensate extracted from blended crude oil production in the Canadian Refining segment and sold to the Oil Sands segment; and unrealized profits in inventory. Eliminations are recorded based on market prices.

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 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (the “IFRS Accounting Standards”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 annual earnings or loss.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual Consolidated Financial Statements were condensed. Accordingly, these interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
These interim Consolidated Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors effective May 5, 2026.

|
3. UPDATES TO ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
A) Adoption of Amendments to Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted the amendments to IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (“IFRS 7”). The amendments clarify the derecognition of financial liabilities and the classification of certain financial assets. The adoption of the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

All amounts in $ millions, unless otherwise indicated
For the period ended March 31, 2026
B) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” (“IFRS 18”), which will replace International Accounting Standard 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”. IFRS 18 will establish a revised structure for the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), including new defined subtotals, enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation, and additional disclosure requirements related to management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”). The objective of the standard is to improve comparability across entities and reporting periods. IFRS 18 will not impact recognition or measurement of income and expenses.
Cenovus has executed a parallel system environment to reflect the new presentation requirements. The changes will primarily reflect a re-mapping of line items on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) to newly defined categories. Items such as foreign exchange gains and losses will require segregation. The primary impact on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows will be the movement of certain finance costs from operating activities to financing activities. The Company has also identified metrics anticipated to be defined as MPMs.
The Company will continue to evaluate the impacts until adoption on January 1, 2027. The standard will be applied retrospectively, with certain transition provisions.

4. MEG ENERGY CORP. ACQUISITION |
On November 13, 2025, Cenovus completed the acquisition of MEG Energy Corp. (“MEG”) through a plan of arrangement (the “MEG Acquisition”), pursuant to which Cenovus acquired all the issued and outstanding common shares of MEG, other than common shares of MEG already owned by Cenovus, for total purchase consideration of $7.1 billion, consisting of $3.4 billion in cash, 143.9 million Cenovus common shares and $32 million of assumed stock-based compensation. The MEG Acquisition provided Cenovus with additional oil sands assets that are directly adjacent to the Company’s Christina Lake asset and are reported under the Christina Lake results in the Oil Sands segment.
The preliminary purchase price allocation was based on Management’s best estimate of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company will finalize the value of net assets acquired by November 13, 2026, and adjustments to initial estimates, including goodwill, may be required. No adjustments were made to the preliminary purchase price allocation as at March 31, 2026. For further details, see Note 4 of the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, integration and transaction costs related to the MEG Acquisition of $12 million were recognized in net earnings (loss).

C) Capital Structure
Cenovus’s capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity and 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, steward working capital, draw down on its credit facilities or repay existing debt, adjust dividends paid to shareholders, purchase the Company’s common shares for cancellation, issue new debt, or issue new shares.
Cenovus monitors its capital structure and financing requirements using, among other things, Total Debt, Net Debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization (“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 $4.0 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 or the strengthening or weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Cenovus’s financial assets and financial liabilities consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, restricted cash, risk management assets and liabilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, long-term debt, certain portions of other assets and certain portions of 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, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair values of restricted cash, certain portions of other assets and certain portions of other liabilities 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 was determined based on period-end trading prices of long-term debt on the secondary market (Level 2). As at March 31, 2026, the carrying value of Cenovus’s long-term debt was $10.6 billion and the fair value was $10.2 billion (December 31, 2025, carrying value – $11.0 billion; fair value – $10.6 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 in other assets. Fair value is determined based on recent market activity which may include equity transactions of the entity when available (Level 3).
The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of private equity investments held and classified as FVOCI during the period:

Changes in Fair Value | 1 | | |
| | | |
| As at March 31, 2026 | 195 | | |
B) Fair Value of Risk Management Assets and Liabilities
Risk management assets and liabilities are carried at fair value in accounts receivable and accrued revenues, accounts payable and accrued liabilities (for short-term positions), and other assets and other liabilities (for long-term positions). Changes in fair value are recorded in (gain) loss on risk management.
The Company’s risk management assets and liabilities consist of condensate and refined product futures; crude oil and natural gas futures and swaps; and renewable power, power and foreign exchange contracts. The Company may also enter into forwards and options to manage commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate exposures.
Crude oil, natural gas, condensate, refined products 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 is calculated using external valuation models that incorporate observable market data and foreign exchange forward curves (Level 2).

The fair value of renewable power contracts is 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, which consists of individuals who are knowledgeable and have experience in fair value techniques.

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 March 31, 2026 | Sensitivity Range | Increase | | Decrease |
| Crude Oil and Condensate Commodity Price | ± US$30.00/bbl Applied to WTI, Condensate and Related Hedges | — | | — |

(1)Excluding WCS at Hardisty.
(2)One thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”).
(3)One thousand kilowatts of electricity per hour (“MWh”).
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 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.
As at March 31, 2026, approximately 82 percent (December 31, 2025 – 81 percent) of the Company’s accounts receivable and accrued revenues were with investment grade counterparties, and 99 percent of the Company’s accounts receivable were outstanding for less than 60 days. The associated average expected credit loss on these accounts was 0.3 percent as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 – 0.3 percent).

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.

Legal Proceedings

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.
