CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our financial position, estimated quantities and net present values of reserves, business strategy, plans and objectives of our management for future operations, covenant compliance, capital spending plans, our financial condition, our liquidity, benefits of the changes in our capital program or expenditures, outlook for the business and financial position, the impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “target”, “goal”, “plan”, “budget”, “objective”, “could”, “should”, or similar expressions or variations on these expressions are forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct or that, even if correct, intervening circumstances will not occur to cause actual results to be different than expected. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our ability to comply with covenants in our credit agreement; our ability to obtain amendments to the covenants in our credit agreement so as to avoid an event of default under our credit agreement and senior notes; a reduction in our borrowing base and our ability to repay any excess borrowings; sustained or future declines in commodity prices and the demand for oil; continued or future excess supply of oil and natural gas; potential future impairments and reductions in proved reserve quantities and value; continued spread of the COVID-19 virus and extensions of previously announced lockdowns and possible future restrictions against oil and gas activity in Colombia and Ecuador; our operations are located in South America, and unexpected problems can arise due to guerilla activity and other local conditions; technical difficulties and operational difficulties may arise which impact the production, transport or sale of our products; geographic, political and weather conditions can impact the production, transport or sale of our products; our ability to raise capital; our ability to identify and complete successful acquisitions; our ability to execute business plans; unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned properties may occur; the timely receipt of regulatory or other required approvals for our operating activities; the failure of exploratory drilling to result in commercial wells; unexpected delays due to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; current global economic and credit market conditions may impact oil prices and oil consumption differently than we currently predict, which could cause us to further modify our strategy and capital spending program; volatility or declines in the trading price of our common stock and the continued listing of our shares on a national stock exchange; and those factors set out in Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K"), and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unprecedented nature of the current pandemic and downturn in the worldwide economy and oil and gas industry makes, including the unpredictable nature of the resurgence of cases and governmental responses, it more difficult to predict the accuracy of forward-looking statements. The information included herein is given as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC and, except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to, or to withdraw, any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based.

GLOSSARY OF OIL AND GAS TERMS

In this document, the abbreviations set forth below have the following meanings:


bbl	barrel	BOE	barrels of oil equivalent
bopd	barrels of oil per day	BOEPD	barrels of oil equivalent per day
Mcf	thousand cubic feet	NAR	net after royalty

Sales volumes represent production NAR adjusted for inventory changes. Our oil and gas reserves are reported NAR. Our production is also reported NAR, except as otherwise specifically noted as "working interest production before royalties." Gas volumes are converted to BOE at the rate of 6 Mcf of gas per bbl of oil, based upon the approximate relative energy content of gas and oil. The rate is not necessarily indicative of the relationship between oil and gas prices. BOEs 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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

1. Description of Business

Gran Tierra Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Gran Tierra”), is a publicly traded company focused on oil and natural gas exploration and production in Colombia and Ecuador.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim periods.

The note disclosure requirements of annual consolidated financial statements provide additional disclosures to that required for interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements which are included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are the same policies followed in these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, except as noted below. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through to the date these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses". This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to support credit loss estimates. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging and Leases", which is codification improvement of ASU 2016-13. The Company has adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020 and applied a current expected credit loss model to the accounts receivables that has resulted in no impact on the Company's consolidated position, results of operation or cash flows.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses the expected lifetime credit losses on initial recognition of trade accounts receivable. Credit risk is assessed based on the number of days the receivable has been outstanding and the internal credit assessment of the customer. The expected loss rates are based on payment profiles over a period of 36 months before January 1, 2020 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking economic factors of the country where the Company sells oil and gas that affect the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

Risks and Measurement Uncertainty

In March 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has spread across the globe and impacted worldwide economic activity. In addition, global commodity prices have declined significantly due to disputes between major oil producing countries combined with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated reductions in global demand for oil. Governments worldwide, including those in Colombia and Ecuador, the countries where the Company operates, have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions; however, the success of these interventions is not currently determinable. The current challenging economic climate is having and may continue to have significant adverse impacts on the Company including, but not exclusively:

•material declines in revenue and cash flows as a result of the decline in commodity prices;

•declines in revenue and operating activities due to reduced capital programs and the shut-in of production;

•impairment charges (see Note 4);

•inability to comply with covenants and restrictions in debt agreements;

•inability to access financing sources;

•increased risk of non-performance by the Company’s customers and suppliers;

•interruptions in operations as the Company adjusts personnel to the dynamic environment; and

•inability to operate or delay in operations as a result COVID-19 restrictions in the countries the Company operates

The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy and the financial effect on the Company is not known at this time. Estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of the financial statements are increasingly difficult and subject to a higher degree of measurement uncertainty during this volatile period. In the near term, matters in these financial statements that are most subject to be impacted by this volatile period are the Company's assessment of liquidity and access to capital, the carrying value of long-lived assets and the valuation of the deferred tax assets.

4. Impairment

Asset Impairment

(i) Oil and gas property impairment

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Gran Tierra recorded ceiling test impairment losses of $398.3 million as a result of lower oil prices. The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Under this method, the net book value of properties on a country-by-country basis, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling”. The ceiling is the estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and gas properties, discounted at 10% per year. In calculating discounted future net revenues, oil and natural gas prices are determined using the average price for the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the balance sheet, calculated as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period. That average price is then held constant, except for changes which are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. Therefore, ceiling test estimates are based on historical prices discounted at 10% per year and it should not be assumed that estimates of future net revenues represent the fair market value of the Company's reserves. In accordance with GAAP, Gran Tierra used an average Brent price of $52.32 per bbl for the purposes of the June 30, 2020 ceiling test calculations (June 30, 2019 - $69.38). There was no ceiling test impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

(ii) Inventory Impairment

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $0.2 and $4.1 million, respectively, relating to the impairment of oil inventory due to the decline in commodity pricing. There was no inventory impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Goodwill Impairment

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded nil and $102.6 million, respectively, of goodwill impairment relating to its Colombia business unit. The impairment was due to the carrying value of the unit exceeding its fair

value as a result of the impact of lower forecasted commodity prices. The estimated fair value of the Colombia business unit for the goodwill impairment test was based on the discounted after-tax cash flows associated with the proved and probable reserves of the reporting unit. There was no goodwill impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

5. Debt and Debt Issuance Costs

The Company's debt at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows:


(Thousands of U.S. Dollars)	As at June 30, 2020		As at December 31, 2019
6.25% Senior Notes	$	300,000	$	300,000

Long-term lease obligation⁽¹⁾	2,075		3,540
	$	789,311	$	700,459

⁽¹⁾The current portion of the lease obligation has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's balance sheet and totaled $3.2 million as at June 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $3.3 million).

On June 1, 2020, the Company completed the semi-annual re-determination of the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facility (the " revolving credit facility") resulting in a reduction of the borrowing base from $300 million to $225 million. Management has obtained a relief from compliance with certain financial covenants until October 1, 2021 ("the covenant relief period"), permitting the ratio of total debt to Covenant EBITDAX ("EBITDAX") to be greater than 4.0 to 1.0, Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX ratio must not exceed 2.5 to 1.0, and EBITDAX to interest expense ratio for the trailing four quarter periods measured as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, must be at least 2.5 to 1.0; as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, must be at least 2.0 to 1.0; and back to at least 2.5 to 1.0 thereafter. The Company is required to comply with various covenants, which as disclosed above, have been modified in response to the current market conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants in the revolving credit facility.

After the expiration of covenant relief period, the Company must maintain compliance with the following financial covenants: limitations on Company's ratio of debt to EBITDAX to a maximum of 4.0 to 1.0; limitations on Company's ratio of Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX to a maximum of 3.0 to 1.0; and the maintenance of a ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 2.5 to 1.0. If the Company fails to comply with these financial covenants, it would result in a default under the terms of the credit agreement, which could result in an acceleration of repayment of all indebtedness under the Company's revolving credit facility.

The unprecedented decline in oil prices has materially reduced the Company’s forecasted EBITDAX. Based on current forecasted Brent pricing and production levels, which can change materially in very short time frames, the Company is forecasted to be in compliance with the amended financial covenants contained in the revolving credit facility for at least the next year from the date of these financial statements. However, the risk of non-compliance is heightened in the current period of volatility coupled with the unprecedented disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Management currently expects that the Company will continue to be able to meet the terms of the credit facility and/or obtain further amendments or waivers if and when required.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, stock-based compensation expense was $1.3 million and stock-based compensation recovery was $0.8 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2019 - recovery of $0.6 million and expense of $1.1 million, respectively).

At June 30, 2020, there was $8.2 million (December 31, 2019 - $6.7 million) of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs and stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company paid out $3.2 million for PSUs which were vested on December 31, 2019 (six months ended June 30, 2019 - $10.2 million for PSU's which were vested December 31, 2018).

Net (Loss)Income per Share

Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation arrangements. The treasury stock method assumes that any proceeds obtained on exercise of share-based compensation arrangements would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The weighted average number of shares is then adjusted by the difference between the number of shares issued from the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements and shares repurchased from the related proceeds. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities that are excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

Common shares outstanding, as at period end	366,981,556	376,636,307	366,981,556	376,636,307

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, all options (three and six months ended June 30, 2019 - 10,373,522 and 9,945,406, respectively), on a weighted average basis, were excluded from the diluted income per share calculation as the options were anti-dilutive.

7. Revenue

The Company's revenues are generated from oil sales at prices which reflect the blended prices received upon shipment by the purchaser at defined sales points or are defined by contract relative to ICE Brent and adjusted for Vasconia or Castilla crude differentials, quality, and transportation discounts each month. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 100% (three and six months ended June 30, 2019 - 100%) of the Company's revenue resulted from oil sales. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, quality and transportation discounts were 42% and 29%, respectively, of the average ICE Brent price (three and six months ended June 30, 2019 - 13% and 15%, respectively). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company's production was sold primarily to two major customers in Colombia (three and six months ended June 30, 2019 - three).

As at June 30, 2020, accounts receivable included $5.4 million of accrued sales revenue related to June 2020 production (December 31, 2019 - $0.1 million related to December 31, 2019 production).

8. Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 46% in the comparative period of 2019. Current income tax expense was lower in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding period in 2019, primarily as a result of lower income in Colombia. The deferred income tax recovery for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was the result of a ceiling test impairment loss in Colombia; which was partially offset by losses incurred in Colombia that are now fully offset by a valuation allowance. The deferred income tax expense in the comparative period of 2019 was mainly the result of tax depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation in Colombia.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the difference between the effective tax rate of 6% and the 32% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance, the non-deductibility of goodwill impairment for tax purposes, foreign translation adjustments and the non-deductible portion (50%) of the unrealized loss on the PetroTal shares.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the difference between the effective tax rate of 46% and the 33% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to foreign currency translation adjustments and an increase in the valuation allowance.

9. Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

Gran Tierra has a number of lawsuits and claims pending, including a dispute with the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (National Hydrocarbons Agency) ("ANH") relating to the calculation of HPR royalties. Discussions with the ANH are ongoing. Although the outcome of these lawsuits and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, Gran Tierra believes the resolution of

these matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Gran Tierra records costs as they are incurred or become probable and determinable.

Letters of credit and other credit support

At June 30, 2020, the Company had provided letters of credit and other credit support totaling $107.7 million (December 31, 2019 - $120.6 million) as security relating to work commitment guarantees in Colombia and Ecuador contained in exploration contracts and other capital or operating requirements.

10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

Financial Instruments

At June 30, 2020, the Company’s financial instruments recognized on the balance sheet consisted of: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, derivatives, long-term debt, equity compensation award liability and other long-term liabilities.

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value of investment, derivatives and Performance Share Units ("PSUs") liability is remeasured at the estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period.

Investment in PetroTal

The fair value of the Company's investment in PetroTal was estimated to be $33.4 million at June 30, 2020, based on the closing stock price of PetroTal of $0.185 CAD and the foreign exchange rate at that date. PetroTal is a publicly-traded energy company incorporated and domiciled in Canada engaged in exploration, appraisal and development of crude oil and natural gas in Peru. PetroTal's shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture under the trading symbol 'TAL' and on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market under the trading symbol 'PTAL'. Gran Tierra through a subsidiary holds approximately 246 million common shares representing approximately 30% of PetroTal's issued and outstanding common shares. Gran Tierra has the right to nominate two directors to the board of PetroTal.

Commodity and Foreign Currency Derivatives

The fair value of commodity price and foreign currency derivatives is estimated based on various factors, including quoted market prices in active markets and quotes from third parties. The Company also performs an internal valuation to ensure the reasonableness of third party quotes. In consideration of counterparty credit risk, the Company assessed the possibility of whether the counterparty to the derivative would default by failing to make any contractually required payments. Additionally, the Company considers that it is of substantial credit quality and has the financial resources and willingness to meet its potential repayment obligations associated with the derivative transactions.

PSUs and Deferred Share Units ("DSUs")

The fair value of the PSUs liability was estimated based on a pricing model using inputs such as quoted market prices in an active market, and PSUs performance factor.

The fair value of investment, derivatives and PSUs and DSUs) at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, was as follows:


(Thousands of U.S. Dollars)	As at June 30, 2020		As at December 31, 2019
Investment	$	33,408	$	94,741
Derivative asset ⁽¹⁾	2,193		—
	$	35,601	$	94,741

Derivative liability	$	8,514	$	775
PSUs and DSUs liability⁽²⁾	2,664		7,859
	$	11,178	$	8,634

⁽¹⁾Included in other current assets on the Company's balance sheet

⁽²⁾The current portion of PSUs and DSUs liability of $0.6 million is included in other current liabilities on the Company's balance sheet

The following table presents gains or losses on financial instruments recognized in the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations:


	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
(Thousands of U.S. Dollars)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Commodity price derivative loss (gain)	$	7,542	$	(706)	$	(10,777)	$	488
Foreign currency derivatives (gain) loss	(1,919)		55		3,533		55
Investment (gain) loss	(6,216)		(17,689)		59,069		(15,718)
Financial instruments loss	757		—		757		—
	$	164	$	(18,340)	$	52,582	$	(15,175)

Investment (gain) loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was related to the fair value (gain) loss on the PetroTal shares Gran Tierra received in connection with the sale of its Peru business unit in December 2017. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, this investment (gain) loss was unrealized.

Financial instruments not recorded at fair value include the Company's 6.25% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "6.25% Senior Notes") and 7.75% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "7.75% Senior Notes"). At June 30, 2020, the carrying amounts of the 6.25% Senior Notes and the 7.75% Senior Notes were $291.5 million and $290.4 million, respectively, which represented the aggregate principal amount less unamortized debt issuance costs, and the fair values were $132.0 million and $135.0 million, respectively. The fair value of long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents and the revolving credit facility approximated their carrying value because interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. The fair values of other financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 and 3 inputs are based on significant other observable inputs and significant unobservable inputs, respectively, and have lower priorities. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.

At June 30, 2020, the fair value of the investment and DSUs liability was determined using Level 1 inputs, the fair value of derivatives and PSUs liability was determined using Level 2 inputs.

The Company uses available market data and valuation methodologies to estimate the fair value of debt. The fair value of debt is the estimated amount the Company would have to pay a third party to assume the debt, including a credit spread for the difference between the issue rate and the period end market rate. The credit spread is the Company’s default or repayment risk. The credit spread (premium or discount) is determined by comparing the Company’s Senior Notes and revolving credit facility to new issuances (secured and unsecured) and secondary trades of similar size and credit statistics for both public and private debt. The disclosure in the paragraph above regarding the fair value of cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents and Senior Notes was based on Level 1 inputs and the fair value of credit facility was based on Level 2 inputs.

The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements include asset retirement obligations. The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is measured by reference to the expected future cash outflows required to satisfy the retirement obligation discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.

Commodity Price Derivatives

The Company utilizes commodity price derivatives to manage the variability in cash flows associated with the forecasted sale of its oil production, reduce commodity price risk and provide a base level of cash flow in order to assure it can execute at least a portion of its capital spending.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding commodity price derivative positions as follows:

Financial and Operational Highlights

Key Highlights for the second quarter of 2020

•Since March 2020, in response to the global economic downturn and lower commodity priced, we rapidly implemented cost saving initiatives throughout the Company; significant progress has been made on lowering costs through the renegotiation of vendor contracts and personnel and rental equipment optimization. The majority of reductions are structural and permanent in nature

•At current oil prices and differentials, we plan to bring the majority of currently shut-in oil fields back online, during the course of the second half of 2020, restart the workover program to bring a number of wells back on production, and resume development drilling by the end of the year

•During the second quarter of 2020, we successfully completed the semi-annual re-determination of our bank-syndicated credit facility where the borrowing base limit was redetermined to $225 million from the prior limit of $300 million and were granted relief from compliance with certain financial covenants until October 1, 2021 (the "covenant relief period"), including relief from compliance with the ratio of total debt to Covenant EBITDAX ("EBITDAX") during the covenant relief period

•At the end of the prior quarter, we had a total of value added tax ("VAT") and income tax receivables of $138.5 million. As expected during the second quarter, we collected a total of $24.9 million in VAT and income tax refunds from the Colombian government during the second quarter of 2020. Subsequent to the quarter, we received another $21.4 million in tax refunds and expect to collect another $30 to $40 million before the end of 2020. We therefore forecast a total collection of approximately $76 to $86 million in VAT and income tax refunds during 2020

•During the second quarter of 2020, we successfully reduced letters of credit ("LOCs") from $135.4 million to $107.7 million; these unsecured LOCs are provided as security relating to work commitment guarantees in Colombia and Ecuador

•Realized oil price hedging gains totaled $16.7 million during the first half of 2020 and we have entered into additional oil price hedges and now have a total 11,000 BOEPD hedged for the second half of 2020

•With 2020's oil price volatility and logistical challenges due to COVID-19, we elected to significantly reduce the second quarter of 2020 activity levels to preserve liquidity and balance sheet strength. Capital expenditures were only $4.7 million during the second quarter, a decrease of 95.2% and 89.3% compared to the second quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020, respectively. While net loss was $370.6 million during the second quarter, funds flow from operations were a positive $6.0 million, which more than covered our capital expenditures. We plan to restart development drilling operations in the fourth quarter of 2020 to drill one-to-two new oil wells by 2020 year-end

•Net loss was $370.6 million compared with net income of $38.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to a non-cash impairment on our oil and gas properties as a result of significantly lower oil prices ($398.3 million)

•Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ was $17.9 million compared with $97.4 million in the second quarter of 2019

•Funds flow from operations⁽²⁾ decreased by 93% to $6.0 million compared with the second quarter of 2019, as a result of lower production, 51% decrease in the price of Brent and a 283% increase in the Vasconia and 124% increase in the Castilla differentials. Currently the Vasconia differential is approximately $2.00 per BOE with the Castilla differential being $4.00 per BOE for the month of July.

•NAR production was 18,408 BOEPD, 37% lower than the second quarter of 2019. Production decreased as a result of shut-in production at the Suroriente and PUT-7 Blocks due to force majeure related to a local farmers' blockade, and the shut-in of minor fields due to low price environment partially offset by a decrease in royalties driven by lower oil prices

•Oil and natural gas sales volumes⁽¹⁾ were 19,266 BOEPD, 34% lower than the second quarter of 2019. The quarter's decrease in oil and gas sales volumes was commensurate with lower production

•Oil and gas sales per BOE were $19.29, 67% lower than the second quarter of 2019

•Operating expenses decreased 45% compared to the second quarter of 2019

•Operating expenses per BOE were $10.51, 17% lower than the second quarter of 2019 due to lower power generation and equipment rental costs resulting from successful completion of power generation and expansion facilities in the Acordionero field and cost savings attributed to the shut-in of higher cost wells compared to the corresponding period of 2019

•Workover expenses per BOE were $0.78 for the second quarter of 2020, 84% lower compared to the second quarter of 2019 as a result of minimal workover activity incurred in the current period. With the recent significant recovery in oil prices, we are expecting to restart workover program during the third quarter of 2020 to bring back on production several oil wells which are currently offline

•Quality and transportation discount per BOE was $14.10 compared to $9.02 in the second quarter of 2019. The increase was due to higher Castilla and Vasconia differentials during the second quarter of 2020

•Transportation expenses per BOE were $1.84, compared to $1.83 per BOE in the second quarter of 2019

•General and administrative ("G&A") before stock-based compensation decreased 43% in the second quarter of 2020, compared to the corresponding period of 2019, due to head-count optimization and temporary cost saving measures implemented in response to the low oil price environment and COVID-19 experienced during the current quarter, such as lowering consulting, travel and general office expenses

⁽²⁾Non-GAAP measures

Operating netback, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and funds flow from operations are non-GAAP measures which do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP. Management views these measures as financial performance measures. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to net (loss) income or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.

Operating netback, as presented, is defined as oil and natural gas sales less operating, workover and transportation expenses. Management believes that operating netback is a useful supplemental measure for management and investors to analyze financial performance and provides an indication of the results generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of other income and expenses. A reconciliation from oil and natural gas sales to operating netback is provided in the table above.

EBITDA, as presented, is defined as net (loss) income adjusted for depletion, depreciation and accretion ("DD&A") expenses, interest expense and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, is defined as EBITDA adjusted for goodwill and asset impairment, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, stock-

based compensation expense or recovery and unrealized financial instruments gain or loss. Management uses these supplemental measures to analyze performance and (loss) income generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income, and believes that this financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors to analyze our performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Oil and gas sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 79% and 61% to $33.8 and $119.9 million, respectively, as a result of 51% and 36%, respectively, decrease in Brent, higher quality and transportation discounts, and 34% and 28%, respectively, lower sales volumes, compared with the corresponding periods of 2019. Compared with the prior quarter, oil and gas sales decreased 61% as a result of 34% decrease in Brent, higher quality and transportation discounts and 22% lower sales volumes.

The following table shows the effect of changes in realized price and sales volumes on our oil and gas sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the prior quarter and the corresponding periods of 2019:


(Thousands of U.S. Dollars)	Second Quarter 2020 Compared with First Quarter 2020		Second Quarter 2020 Compared with Second Quarter 2019		Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Oil and natural gas sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020	$	33,824	$	33,824	$	119,903

Average realized price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 67% and 47%, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2019. The decreases were commensurate with the decreases in benchmark oil prices in addition to higher Vasconia and Castilla differentials. Compared with the prior quarter, the average realized price decreased 49% due to the same reasons mentioned above.

We have options to sell our oil through multiple pipelines and trucking routes. Each option has varying effects on realized sales price and transportation expenses and our primarily focus is on maximizing operating netback. The following table shows the

percentage of oil volumes we sold in Colombia using each option for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the prior quarter:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Three Months Ended March 31,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020			2020		2019
Volume transported through pipeline	15	%	1	%	1	%		7	%	2	%
Volume sold at wellhead	49	%	51	%	48	%		50	%	47	%
Volume transported via truck to sales point	36	%	48	%	51	%		43	%	51	%
	100	%	100	%	100	%		100	%	100	%

Volumes transported through pipeline or via truck receive higher realized price, but incur higher transportation expenses. Volumes sold at the wellhead have the opposite effect of lower realized price, offset by lower transportation expenses.

Transportation expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 34% and 44% to $3.2 and $7.3 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2019 as a result of lower sales volumes during current periods. On a per BOE basis, transportation expenses increased by 1% to $1.84 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of lower volumes sold at wellhead, partially offset by a temporary reduction of OTA pipeline tariff negotiated at the end of second quarter of 2020 in response to the low oil price environment, compared to the corresponding period of 2019. On a per BOE basis, transportation expenses decreased by 23% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to $1.81, compared to the corresponding period of 2019, as a result of higher volumes sold at the wellhead where transportation is netted against sales price and a temporary reduction of OTA pipeline tariff negotiated in response to low oil price environment at the end of the second quarter of 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, transportation expenses decreased 20% compared with $4.0 million in the prior quarter as a result of lower sales volumes. On a per BOE basis, transportation expenses increased 3% from $1.79 in the prior quarter due to utilization of the OTA pipeline during the current quarter which had higher transportation cost per BOE, partially offset by a temporary reduction of pipeline tariff negotiated at the end of the second quarter of 2020.

Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 45% and 26% to $18.4 and $50.7 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2019. On a per BOE basis, operating expenses decreased by $2.15 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to lower power generation and equipment rental costs resulting from successful completion of power generation and expansion facilities in the Acordionero field and cost savings attributed to the shut-in of higher cost wells compared to the corresponding period of 2019. On a per BOE basis, operating expenses increased by $0.24 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of lower sales volumes and a fixed nature of a significant portion of our operating expenses.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020, decreased 43% compared with the prior quarter. On a per BOE basis, operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020, decreased by $3.77, primarily as a result of lower power generation and cost savings attributed to the lower operating activities partially offset by lower sales volumes during the current quarter.

Workover expenses on a per BOE basis, decreased to $0.78 and $3.40 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $4.79 and $3.44, respectively, in the corresponding periods of 2019 due to less workover activities performed during current periods. Workover expenses decreased by $4.66 per BOE compared to the prior quarter as a result of less workover activities performed during the second quarter of 2020.

Asset Impairment

(i) Oil and gas property impairment

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded ceiling test impairment losses of $398.3 million as a result of lower oil prices. We follow the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Under this method, the net book value of properties on a country-by-country basis, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling”. The ceiling is the estimated after tax future net revenues from proved oil and gas properties, discounted at 10% per year. In calculating discounted future net revenues, oil and natural gas prices are determined using the average price for the 12 month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the balance sheet, calculated as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period. That average price is then held constant, except for changes which are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. Therefore, ceiling test estimates are based on historical prices discounted at 10% per year and it should not be assumed that estimates of future net revenues represent the fair market value of our reserves. In accordance with GAAP, we used an average Brent price of $52.32 per bbl for the purposes of the June 30, 2020 ceiling test calculations (June 30, 2019 - $69.38). There was no ceiling test impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

(ii) Inventory Impairment

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.2 and $4.1 million, respectively, of impairment relating to inventory due to the decline in commodity pricing. There was no inventory impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Goodwill Impairment

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded nil and $102.6 million, respectively, of impairment of goodwill relating to our Colombia business unit. The impairment was due to the carrying value of the unit exceeding its fair value as a result of the cumulative impact of the shut-in of higher cost production and lower forecasted commodity prices. The estimated fair value of the Colombia unit for the goodwill impairment test was based on the discounted after-tax cash flows associated with the proved and probable reserves of the reporting unit. At June 30, 2020, goodwill consisted entirely of $102.6 million relating to the Solana Resources Limited and Argosy Energy International L.P. acquisitions in 2008 and 2006, respectively. There was no goodwill impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, G&A expenses before stock-based compensation decreased 43% and 26%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of 2019, due to temporary cost saving measures implemented in response to the low oil price environment and COVID-19. On a per BOE basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, G&A expenses before stock-based compensation decreased 14% to $2.99 compared to the corresponding period of 2019, due to headcount optimization and temporary cost saving measures implemented in response to the low oil price environment and COVID-19 experienced during the current quarter, such as lowering consulting, travel and general office expenses. On a per BOE basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, G&A expenses increased 2% to $3.16 compared to the corresponding period of 2019 due to the lower sales volumes in the current period. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, G&A expenses before stock-based compensation decreased 30% or $0.30 per BOE due to a number of temporary cost saving measures implemented in response to COVID-19 during the second quarter of 2020, such as 20% salary reduction taken by the Executive Team and Board of Directors, lowering consulting, travel and general office costs.

G&A expenses after stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 24% and 35% (15% and 10% per BOE), respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2019, mainly due to lower stock-based compensation resulting from a lower share price. G&A expenses after stock-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 21% (56% per BOE), compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to higher stock-based compensation resulting from higher share price in the current period.

Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a gain of $3.0 million and a loss of $15.8 million, respectively, on foreign exchange compared with a $1.2 million loss and a $1.3 million gain, respectively, in the corresponding periods of 2019. Taxes receivable, deferred income taxes, accounts payable and investment are considered monetary items, and require translation from local currency to U.S. dollar functional currency at each balance sheet date. This translation was the main source of the foreign exchange losses and gains in the periods.

The following table presents the change in the U.S. dollar against the Colombian peso and Canadian dollar for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Effective tax rate	17		%	27		%	6		%	46		%

Current income tax expense was lower for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding period of 2019, primarily as a result of lower income in Colombia. The deferred income tax recovery for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was the result of a ceiling test impairment loss in Colombia; which was partially offset by losses incurred in Colombia that are now fully offset by a valuation allowance. The deferred income tax expense in the comparative period of 2019, was mainly the result of tax depreciation being higher than accounting deprecation in Colombia.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the difference between the effective tax rate of 46% and the 33% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to foreign translation adjustments and an increase in the valuation allowance.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has spread across the globe and impacted worldwide economic activity. In addition, global commodity prices have declined significantly due to disputes between major oil producing countries combined with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated reductions in global demand for oil. Governments worldwide, including those in Colombia and Ecuador, the countries where we operate, have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused, and may continue to cause, material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions however the success of these interventions is not currently determinable. In addition, global commodity prices have declined significantly, and remain volatile, due to the dramatic decline in demand for oil and natural gas. The current challenging economic climate is having and may continue to have significant adverse impacts on our Company including, but not exclusively:

•material declines in revenue and cash flows as a result of the decline in commodity prices;

•declines in revenue and operating activities due to reduced capital programs and the shut-in of production;

•impairment charges;

•inability to comply with covenants and restrictions in debt agreements;

•inability to access financing sources;

•increased risk of non-performance by our customers and suppliers;

•interruptions in operations as we adjust personnel to the dynamic environment; and

•inability to operate or delay in operations as a result COVID-19 restrictions in the countries we operate

The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy and the financial effect on our Company is not known at this time.

On June 1, 2020, we completed the semi-annual re-determination of our Senior Secured Credit Facility (the "revolving credit facility") resulting in a reduction of the borrowing base from $300 million to $225 million. Management has obtained a relief from compliance with certain financial covenants until October 1, 2020, permitting the ratio of total debt to EBITDAX to be greater than 4.0 to 1.0, Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX ratio must not exceed 2.5 to 1.0, and EBITDAX to interest expense ratio for the trailing four quarter periods measured as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, must be at least 2.5 to 1.0; as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 must be at least 2.0 to 1.0 and back to at least 2.5 to 1.0 thereafter. The Company is required to comply with various covenants, which as disclosed above, have been modified in response to the current market conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants in the revolving credit facility.

After the expiration of covenant relief period, we must maintain compliance with the following financial covenants: limitations on our ratio of debt to EBITDAX to a maximum of 4.0 to 1.0; limitations on our ratio of Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX to a maximum of 3.0 to 1.0; and the maintenance of a ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 2.5 to 1.0.

In addition to the covenant relief, the amendment to the credit agreement in connection with the semi-annual re-determination also amended the interest rate to either, at the borrower’s option, LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 2.90% to 4.90%, or base rate plus a spread ranging from 1.90% to 3.90%, with such spread in each case dependent upon our Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement), provided that during the covenant relief period the spread is increased by 125 basis points, (iv) provided for a borrowing condition that we shall not have cash and cash equivalents (other than Excluded Cash, as defined in the credit agreement) in excess of $15.0 million, (v) added certain mandatory prepayments, including for cash balances in excess of $15.0 million and (vi) amended and added certain negative covenants, including, without limitation, certain additional limitations on occurrence of indebtedness, liens and investments, the making of restricted payments, prepayments of indebtedness, and acquisitions and mergers.

The unprecedented decline in oil prices has materially reduced our forecasted EBITDAX. Based on current forecasted Brent pricing and production levels, which can change materially in very short time frames, we are forecasted to be in compliance with the amended financial covenants contained in the revolving credit facility for at least the next year from the date of these financial statements. However, the risk of non-compliance is heightened in the current period of volatility coupled with the unprecedented disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Should we fail to comply with the terms of the credit facility, we will not be able to borrow under the credit facility, which would limit our liquidity, and it could result in the lenders having the right to demand repayment of amounts drawn on the credit facility and foreclose on any collateral, which includes our oil and gas properties. In addition, an acceleration under the credit facility would constitute an event of default under the Senior Notes, thereby allowing the holders to demand repayment of amounts outstanding. Management currently expects that we will continue to be able to meet the terms of the credit facility and/or obtain further amendments or waivers if and when required.

At June 30, 2020, we had $207.0 million drawn on the revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders with a borrowing base of $225.0 million. As of July 30, 2020, outstanding borrowings under our credit facility remained at $207.0 million. Accordingly, we had $18 million of availability under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2020 and August 3, 2020. At June 30, 2020, we had $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2025, and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2027 outstanding. An event of default under the revolving credit facility would result in a default under the indentures governing the senior notes, which could allow the note holders to require us to repurchase all of the outstanding senior notes.

In accordance with our investment policy, available cash balances are held in our primary cash management banks or may be invested in U.S. or Canadian government-backed federal, provincial or state securities or other money market instruments with high credit ratings and short-term liquidity.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA and funds flow from operations are a non-GAAP measures which do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP. Refer to “Financial and Operational Highlights - non-GAAP measures” for a definition and reconciliation of this measure.

One of the primary sources of variability in our cash flows from operating activities is the fluctuation in oil prices, the impact of which we partially mitigate by entering into commodity price derivatives. Sales volume changes and costs related to operations and debt service also impact cash flow. Our cash flows from operating activities are also impacted by foreign currency exchange rate changes, the impact of which we partially mitigate by entering into foreign currency derivatives. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, funds flow from operations decreased by 83% compared to the corresponding period of 2019 primarily due to a decrease in oil sales and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by lower current taxes and cash settlement of financial instruments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As at June 30, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

At June 30, 2020, we had $207.0 million drawn under our revolving credit facility.

Except for noted above, as at June 30, 2020, there were no other material changes to our contractual obligations outside of the ordinary course of business from those as at December 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Item 7 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and have not changed materially since the filing of that document, other than as follows:

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses". This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to support credit loss estimates. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging and Leases", which is codification improvement of ASU 2016-13. We have adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020 and applied a current expected credit loss model to the accounts receivables that has resulted in no impact on our consolidated position, results of operation or cash flows.

Allowance for credit losses

At each reporting date, we assess the expected lifetime credit losses on initial recognition of trade accounts receivable. Credit risk is assessed based on the number of days the receivable has been outstanding and the internal credit assessment of the customer. The expected loss rates are based on payment profiles over a period of 36 months before January 1, 2020 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking economic factors of the country where we sell oil and gas affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

Risks and Measurement uncertainty

In March 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has spread across the globe and impacted worldwide economic activity. In addition, global commodity prices have declined significantly due to disputes between major oil producing countries combined with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated reductions in global demand for oil. Governments worldwide, including those in Colombia and Ecuador, the countries where we operate, have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions; however, the success of these interventions is not currently determinable. The current challenging economic climate is having and may continue to have significant adverse impacts on our Company including, but not exclusively:

•material declines in revenue and cash flows as a result of the decline in commodity prices;

•declines in revenue and operating activities due to reduced capital programs and the shut-in of production;

•impairment charges;

•inability to comply with covenants and restrictions in debt agreements;

•inability to access financing sources;

•increased risk of non-performance by our customers and suppliers;

•interruptions in operations as we adjust personnel to the dynamic environment; and

•inability to operate or delay in operations as a result COVID-19 restrictions in the countries we operate

The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy and the financial effect on our Company is not known at this time. Estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of the financial

statements are increasingly difficult and subject to a higher degree of measurement uncertainty during this volatile period. In the near term, matters in these financial statements that are most subject to be impacted by this volatile period are our assessment of liquidity and access to capital, the carrying value of long-lived assets and the valuation of the deferred tax assets.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are not required to provide information under this Item 3.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by Gran Tierra in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule l3a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Gran Tierra's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

PART II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 9 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for any material developments with respect to matters previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and any material matters that have arisen since the filing of such report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the risk factors described below, you should carefully read and consider the factors set out in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2020. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The unprecedented nature of the current pandemic and downturn in the worldwide economy and oil and gas industry may make it more difficult to identify all the risks to our business, results of operations and financial condition and the ultimate impact of identified risks.

Prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable and tend to fluctuate significantly, which could cause temporary suspension of production and reduce our value.

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the sale of oil, the current and forward contract price which is based on world demand, supply, weather, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, geopolitical unrest, world health events and other factors, all of which are beyond our control. Historically, the market for oil has been volatile, and for the past several years, the price of oil has been low. Recently, global oil and natural gas prices have declined to historic lows significantly due

to a dispute between major oil producing countries combined with the impact of the shutdown in the world economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The market is likely to continue to be volatile in the future, and oil prices may remain at their currently depressed state. Furthermore, prices which we receive for our oil sales, while based on international oil prices, are established by contracts with purchasers with prescribed deductions for transportation and quality differentials. These differentials can change over time and have a detrimental impact on realized prices.

As a result of the low commodity price environment, we have temporarily suspended all development activities and operations in fields with zero or negative netbacks at current oil prices. We may consider shutting-in producing wells that are less economic than others. There can be no assurances when we will be able to resume production on suspended fields and what the restart costs will be. If our production and cash flows decline, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and result in impairments and noncompliance with financial covenants in our debt instruments. For example, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $102.6 million impairment of goodwill and $398.5 million of oil and gas property impairment relating to our Colombia business unit. The goodwill impairment was due to the carrying value of the unit exceeding its fair value as a result of the cumulative impact of the shut-in of uneconomic oil production in and lower forecasted commodity prices. The oil and gas property impairment was a result of the net book value of oil and gas assets in our Colombia business unit, less related deferred income taxes, exceeding a calculated “ceiling”.

A continuation of the low demand for and prices of oil or sustained low prices may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, the future results of our operations (including rendering existing projects unprofitable or requiring temporary suspension of fields), financing available to us, and quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis, as well as the market price for our securities.

We may not have sufficient liquidity and may not be able to comply with our financial covenants once compliance is required starting in the fourth quarter of 2021

On June 1, 2020, we completed the semi-annual re-determination of our Senior Secured Credit Facility ("the revolving credit facility") resulting in a reduction of the borrowing base from $300 million to $225 million. Management has obtained a relief from compliance with certain financial covenants until October 1, 2020 ("the covenant relief period"), permitting Covenant EBITDAX ("EBITDAX") to be greater than 4.0 to 1.0, Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX ratio must not exceed 2.5 to 1.0, and EBITDAX to interest expense ratio for the trailing four quarter periods measured as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, must be at least 2.5 to 1.0; as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 must be at least 2.0 to 1.0 and back to at least 2.5 to 1.0 thereafter.

After the expiration of covenant relief period, we must maintain compliance with financial covenants, which include: limitations on our ratio of debt to EBITDAX to a maximum of 4.0 to 1.0; limitations on our ratio of Senior Secured Debt to EBITDAX to a maximum of 3.0 to 1.0; and the maintenance of a ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 2.5 to 1.0.

In addition, the reduction of our credit facility borrowing base from $300 million to $225 million as a result of semiannual re-determination of the borrowing base occurred on June 1, 2020 may reduce our total liquidity and make it more difficult to finance operations or growth of our business. The borrowing base may also be reduced further in connection with our next re-determination. We may be required to fund the operations through alternative sources of capital. Alternative sources of capital, if available at all, could involve the issuance of debt or equity on unfavorable terms or that would result in significant dilution, sales of assets and further reductions in our expenses and continued suspension of our capital program. Our ability to access alternative sources of capital would be limited by restrictive covenants in our existing debt agreements. These transactions or actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
