Exhibit 99.3
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management's discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is dated February 23, 2021 and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a full understanding of the financial position and results of operations of Crescent Point Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Crescent Point”).
The audited consolidated financial statements and comparative information for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
STRUCTURE OF THE BUSINESS
The principal undertaking of Crescent Point is to carry on the business of acquiring, developing and holding interests in petroleum and natural gas properties and assets related thereto through a general partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries. Amounts in this report are in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. References to “US$” are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars.
Overview
Crescent Point‘s 2020 results demonstrate its execution capabilities in one of the most challenging periods the Company has ever faced. With the global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting collapse in crude oil demand and pricing, the Company took decisive action and reduced its capital spending budget by approximately 40 percent to $665 million, voluntarily shut-in uneconomic production, increased its 2020 hedge protection and improved its cost structures with lower operating expenses, general and administrative ("G&A") expenses and capital well costs. With strong operational execution and capital discipline, the Company’s annual production of 121,642 boe/d exceeded its guidance of 121,000 boe/d and its development capital spending of $654.8 million came in under guidance of $665 million.
Crescent Point continued to prioritize its balance sheet during 2020 with a $616.1 million reduction in net debt. The Company generated excess cash flow of $122.0 million which was applied against debt, in addition to proceeds of $500.2 million on it’s Saskatchewan gas infrastructure asset divestment early in 2020. At December 31, 2020, the Company had $2.15 billion of net debt, or 2.5 times trailing adjusted funds flow from operations.
The significant volatility in commodity prices in 2020 impacted the Company's financial results with a reported net loss of $2.52 billion, adjusted funds flow from operations of $874.4 million and adjusted net earnings from operations of $177.4 million. The Company's adjusted funds flow and net earnings were both down more than 50 percent from 2019, largely due to the significant decrease in crude oil prices. The Company’s hedging program mitigated some of the commodity price weakness as it generated cash gains of $245.7 million during 2020. The net loss for the year was driven primarily by a before tax non-cash impairment charge of $3.56 billion in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from lower forecast commodity prices. Impairment charges may be reversed in future periods if there are indications of a change in value, including higher forecast commodity prices.
On February 17, 2021, Crescent Point entered into an agreement with Shell Canada Energy to acquire its Kaybob Duvernay assets in Alberta for total consideration of $900.0 million, consisting of $700.0 million in cash and 50.0 million common shares of Crescent Point. The assets include production of approximately 30,000 boe/d, weighted 65 percent towards condensate and liquids, and approximately 500 net sections of land in the Kaybob area. Including the impact of the acquisition which is anticipated to close in April 2021, the Company’s 2021 guidance includes $610 to $660 million of capital expenditures, including development capital and capitalized G&A, and annual average production of 132,000 to 136,000 boe/d. Based on its current hedging contracts in place, the Company will have approximately 30 percent of its oil and liquids production, net of royalty interest, hedged through the remainder of 2021 upon closing of the acquisition. Crescent Point continues to focus on enhancing its balance sheet and sustainability, and will remain disciplined in its plans aligned with its returns based capital allocation framework.

Total production averaged 121,642 boe/d during 2020 compared to 162,230 boe/d in 2019. The 25 percent decrease was primarily due to asset dispositions completed in the second half of 2019 and a significantly reduced 2020 development capital program. The decrease in production also reflects the impact of the voluntary shut-in production volumes from the second quarter of 2020, which were subsequently reactivated in the third quarter.
The Company's weighting to crude oil and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") production has remained consistent with the comparative period.

The US$ WTI benchmark price decreased 31 percent on average for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 2019. WTI prices were significantly weaker in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in global economic contraction that decreased demand worldwide for crude oil and crude oil products. WTI prices began to stabilize in the second half of 2020 with market optimism generated by COVID-19 vaccinations in addition to the continuation of OPEC supply cuts, closing the year at US$48.52/bbl.
Canadian natural gas prices strengthened in 2020, with the AECO daily benchmark price increasing 27 percent, compared to 2019. Pipeline capacity increases, lower storage levels and reduced production in 2020 improved the supply-demand balance at AECO and provided support to prices.
U.S. natural gas prices were 21 percent lower on average in 2020, compared to 2019 due to global demand decreases resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the shutdown of LNG export facilities amid hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico.
Exhibit 2
chart-b7409bae833d4e63a7b1a.jpgchart-afcdd3a2548f4c8fbd51a.jpg
Canadian crude oil differentials widened in 2020, compared to 2019, primarily due to demand destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing inventory levels and lower mandatory production curtailments in Alberta. In 2019, mandatory production curtailments in Alberta, extensive upgrader outages and stronger demand helped to tighten differentials. In the second half of 2020, differentials began to improve as supply fell due to industry wide production shut-ins and reduced capital activity.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's average selling price for crude oil decreased 35 percent from 2019, primarily due to the 31 percent decrease in the US$ WTI benchmark price and a wider corporate oil price differential. Crescent Point's corporate oil differential relative to Cdn$ WTI for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $9.32 per bbl compared to $8.51 per bbl in 2019.
In 2020, the Company's average selling price for NGL's decreased 14 percent from $19.94 per bbl to $17.19 per bbl. Average selling prices for NGLs were impacted by the weakening of US$ WTI and propane prices, partially offset by stronger differentials on butane and condensate.
The Company's average selling price for natural gas in 2020 increased 10 percent from $2.75 per mcf to $3.02 per mcf, primarily as a result of the increase in the AECO daily benchmark price, partially offset by gas production in the U.S. which is exposed to NYMEX based pricing.

Commodity Derivatives
Management of cash flow variability is an integral component of Crescent Point's business strategy. Crescent Point regularly monitors changing business and market conditions while executing its strategic risk management program. Crescent Point proactively manages the risk exposure inherent in movements in the price of crude oil, natural gas, interest rates, the Company's share price and the US/Cdn dollar exchange rate through the use of derivatives with investment-grade counterparties.
The Company's crude oil and natural gas derivatives are referenced to WTI and the AECO monthly index, respectively, unless otherwise noted. Crescent Point utilizes a variety of derivatives, including swaps, collars and put options to protect against downward commodity price movements while also providing the opportunity for some upside participation during periods of rising prices. This reduces the volatility of the selling price of crude oil and natural gas production and provides a measure of stability to the Company's cash flow. See Note 25 - "Financial Instruments and Derivatives" in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information on the Company's derivatives.

The Company's realized derivative gain for crude oil was $246.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $34.7 million in 2019. The realized derivative gain in 2020 was largely attributable to the decrease in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price, partially offset by the decrease in the Company's average derivative crude oil price. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's average derivative crude oil price decreased by 18 percent, or $13.61 per bbl, from $77.16 per bbl in 2019 to $63.55 per bbl in 2020.
Crescent Point's realized derivative loss for gas was $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a realized derivative gain of $8.7 million in 2019. The realized derivative loss in 2020 was primarily due to an increase in the AECO monthly index price and a decrease in the Company's average derivative gas price. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's average derivative gas price decreased by 39 percent, or $1.06 per GJ, from $2.73 per GJ in 2019 to $1.67 per GJ in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower average volumes hedged and reflects only fourth quarter volumes in 2020 hedged at an average derivative price of $2.17 per GJ.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a total unrealized derivative loss of $52.4 million on its commodity contracts compared to $104.4 million in 2019. The unrealized derivative loss in 2020 was primarily attributable to crude oil contracts and reflects the maturity of in-the-money contract months and the change in Cdn$ WTI forward benchmark prices at December 31, 2020 relative to the average derivative price on contracts entered into during the year.

Royalties decreased 55 percent in 2020, largely due to the 49 percent decrease in oil and gas sales. Royalties as a percentage of oil and gas sales decreased by 1 percent in 2020, reflecting lower benchmark oil prices which reduced Canadian crown royalty rates, coupled with the Uinta Basin asset disposition in the fourth quarter of 2019, which had higher associated royalty rates.

Per boe

Operating expenses decreased 23 percent in 2020, compared to 2019. The decrease reflects reduced activity levels, the impact of the Southeast Saskatchewan and Uinta Basin asset dispositions in the second half of 2019, production shut-ins during 2020, and cost savings recognized as a result of the Company's operational technology ("OT") platform. These decreases were partially offset by the Saskatchewan gas infrastructure disposition early in 2020, which resulted in an increase in processing fees.
Operating expenses per boe increased slightly to $12.62 in 2020 due to an increase in processing fees as a result of the disposition of the Company's gas infrastructure assets early in the year. This was mostly offset by cost savings recognized from the improved workflows and operational technology implemented throughout the Company's asset portfolio. The Company also saw higher operating expenses per boe in the second half of 2020 due to the reactivation of economic, higher cost production volumes and costs associated with resuming field activity that was deferred earlier in the year with the collapse in pricing.
Crescent Point continues to focus on field efficiencies and cost control and has implemented additional health and safety protocols within its field operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operations have continued without material disruption and the Company will continue with responsible measures to protect the health and safety of its employees and communities.

Transportation expenses decreased 18 percent in 2020 primarily due to lower production volumes. Transportation expenses per boe increased by $0.18 per boe or 9 percent in 2020 primarily due to the divestment of assets completed in the second half of 2019 that had lower associated transportation costs and new transportation fees resulting from the Company's infrastructure disposition that closed early in 2020.

The Company's operating netback for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased 46 percent to $18.24 per boe from $33.81 per boe in 2019. The decrease in the Company's operating netback was primarily due to the decrease in average selling price, partially offset by lower royalties. The decrease in the Company's netback was the result of the decrease in the operating netback, partially offset by an increase in the realized gain on commodity derivatives.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased to $73.3 million in 2020 from $85.6 million in 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower employee related costs and lower professional fees, partially offset by lower overhead recoveries resulting from lower production and reduced capital spending levels. Severance charges have also caused G&A to fluctuate with $6.3 million recorded in 2020, compared to $10.2 million in 2019. Lower G&A expenses in 2020 are also attributable to remuneration received from the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy. In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $9.8 million from the program in G&A.
G&A expenses per boe increased 14 percent in 2020 due to lower production volumes, partially offset by the reduction in total G&A discussed above.
Transaction costs incurred in 2020 relate primarily to the Saskatchewan gas infrastructure asset disposition. Refer to Capital Acquisitions and Dispositions section in this MD&A for further information.

Interest expense on long-term debt decreased 36 percent in 2020 primarily due to lower debt balances with the Company's ongoing focus on balance sheet strength.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a $14.5 million unrealized loss on interest rate derivatives compared to $23.6 million in 2019. The unrealized derivative loss was primarily due to the impact of the stronger Canadian dollar at December 31, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019 on the interest payments related to the Company's cross currency swaps ("CCS"). The unrealized derivative loss was also impacted by a lower floating interest rate on Company's interest derivative contracts at December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019.
Crescent Point actively manages its interest rate exposure through a combination of interest rate swaps and a debt portfolio including short-term floating rate bank debt and long-term fixed rate senior guaranteed notes. At December 31, 2020, 96 percent of the Company's long-term debt, including the impact of CCS and the foreign exchange swap on its US dollar senior guaranteed notes, had fixed interest rates.

Crescent Point has US dollar denominated debt, including London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") loans under its bank credit facilities and US dollar senior guaranteed notes. The Company hedges its foreign exchange exposure using a combination of CCS and foreign exchange swaps. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company realized a $49.3 million gain on CCS, primarily related to senior guaranteed note maturities.
The Company records foreign exchange gains or losses on the period end translation of US dollar long-term debt and related accrued interest. Crescent Point recorded a foreign exchange gain of $12.8 million on the translation of US dollar long-term debt and accrued interest in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $175.3 million in 2019. The foreign exchange gain from the translation of US dollar long-term debt and accrued interest in 2020 was attributable to a stronger Canadian dollar at December 31, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019.
The Company recognized an unrealized loss on foreign exchange derivatives of $56.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $141.6 million in the same period in 2019. The unrealized loss in 2020 reflects the impact of the stronger forward Canadian dollar at December 31, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019 on the Company's CCS.

The Company recorded share-based compensation ("SBC") costs of $17.7 million in 2020 compared to $29.2 million in 2019. The 39 percent decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the Company's share price, along with forfeitures recognized from a workforce reduction during the second quarter of 2020.
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into equity derivative contracts to mitigate equity price risk on the Employee Share Value Plan ("ESVP") which was adopted by the Company in April 2020. Refer to the Employee Share Value Plan section below for further information. The equity derivatives mitigate exposure to fluctuations in share price by fixing the future settlement cost on a portion of the cash-settled plan. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an unrealized derivative gain of $11.0 million on equity derivative contracts due to the increase in the Company's share price at December 31, 2020.

The Company's depletion, depreciation and amortization (“DD&A”) rate before impairment for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $16.01 per boe, compared to $21.06 per boe in 2019. The 24 percent decrease in the DD&A rate per boe in 2020 was primarily due to the impairment expense booked in the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020, which reduced the value of the Company's property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") in addition to dispositions completed in the second half of 2019.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment expense of $3.56 billion on its development and production assets primarily due to the significant decrease in forecast benchmark commodity prices at March 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. The value of the Company’s assets was estimated based on independent evaluator pricing, proved plus probable reserves and a discount rate of 15 percent. The impairment charge does not impact the Company's adjusted funds flow, adjusted net earnings from operations or the amount of credit available under our bank credit facilities. The impairment can be reversed in future periods up to the original carrying value less any associated depletion, should there be indicators that the value of the assets has increased.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized impairment expense of $1.21 billion on PP&E, primarily as a result of the decrease in forecast benchmark prices. The Company also recognized an impairment loss of $241.4 million on PP&E related to the disposition of its Uinta Basin assets and $8.5 million of impairment related to the disposal of other non-core assets.

Other Income (Loss)
The Company recorded other income of $322.3 million in 2020, compared to other losses of $159.9 million in 2019. Other income in 2020 was primarily due to the gain recognized from the Company's sale of gas infrastructure assets in the first quarter of 2020. The other losses in 2019 were comprised primarily of losses on asset dispositions, partially offset by proceeds received from a legal settlement and a gain recognized on lease modifications.

Current Tax Expense
In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded current tax expense of $0.2 million, compared to $0.4 million in 2019. Refer to the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2020 for information on the Company's expected tax horizon.
Deferred Tax Recovery
In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $627.8 million compared to $159.4 million in 2019. The deferred tax recovery in 2020 was primarily due to the pre-tax loss resulting from the impairment expense recognized, partially offset by the change in estimate for future usable tax pools.
The deferred tax recovery for 2019 primarily relates to the net loss before income tax and a change in estimate regarding future usable U.S. tax pools as a result of the Uinta Basin asset disposition.

Cash flow from operating activities decreased from $1.74 billion in 2019 to $860.5 million in 2020. Changes in cash flow from operating activities were due to fluctuations in adjusted funds flow from operations ("FFO"), working capital, decommissioning expenditures and transaction costs.
Exhibit 15
chart-99cbec6ef196411f8201a.jpg

The Company's adjusted FFO decreased in the year ended December 31, 2020 to $874.4 million, compared to $1.83 billion in 2019. The decrease is primarily the result of the decreases in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price and production volumes, partially offset by the increase in realized derivative gains and lower interest expense on long-term debt.
Exhibit 16
chart-953631f365c747c994a1a.jpg
In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $2.52 billion compared to $1.03 billion in 2019, primarily as a result of the increase in impairment expense recorded in 2020, the decrease in adjusted FFO and the decrease in foreign exchange gain on long-term debt, partially offset by fluctuations in other income and deferred taxes and a decrease in unrealized derivative losses. In 2020, the Company recorded a net loss per share - diluted of $4.76 compared to a net loss per share - diluted of $1.89 in 2019.

The Company's adjusted net earnings from operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $177.4 million compared to $386.8 million in 2019, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted FFO, partially offset by the decrease in depletion and fluctuations in deferred taxes. Adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased from $0.71 in 2019 to $0.33.

At December 31, 2020, Crescent Point's enterprise value was $3.72 billion and the Company was capitalized with 42 percent equity compared to $5.83 billion and 53 percent at December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company's net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations ratio at December 31, 2020 increased to 2.5 times compared to 1.5 times at December 31, 2019, largely due to lower adjusted funds flow from operations, primarily as a result of the decrease in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price, partially offset by the reduction in net debt.

The Company has combined revolving credit facilities of $3.00 billion, including a $2.90 billion syndicated unsecured credit facility with fourteen banks and a $100.0 million unsecured operating credit facility with one Canadian chartered bank. The current maturity date of the facilities is October 25, 2023. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $401.0 million drawn on bank credit facilities, including $10.4 million outstanding pursuant to letters of credit, leaving unutilized borrowing capacity of approximately $2.61 billion including cash of $8.8 million.
The Company has made private offerings of senior guaranteed notes raising total gross proceeds of US$1.26 billion and Cdn$270.0 million. The notes are unsecured and rank pari passu with the Company's bank credit facilities and carry a bullet repayment on maturity. Crescent Point entered into various CCS and foreign exchange swaps to hedge its foreign exchange exposure on its US dollar long-term debt.

(3)Total debt is calculated as the sum of senior debt plus subordinated debt. Crescent Point does not have any subordinated debt.
(4)Capital is calculated as the sum of senior debt and shareholder's equity and excludes the effect of unrealized derivative gains or losses and the adoption of IFRS 16.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the global economy and has resulted in extremely volatile crude oil prices. This has impacted Crescent Point’s financial condition and 2020 results with a decrease in adjusted net earnings from operations and adjusted cash flow from operating activities, increased leverage levels, a reduction in the Company’s market capitalization and a significant net loss mainly from an impairment charge in the first quarter of 2020. Crescent Point retains financial flexibility with significant liquidity on its credit facilities and no material near-term debt maturities. The Company will continue to monitor the commodity price environment and will make further adjustments as needed to protect its balance sheet. Crescent Point has hedged over 30 percent of its forecast 2021 oil and liquids production, net of royalty interest, providing further balance sheet protection should commodity prices weaken.
The Company's working capital deficiency and ongoing working capital requirements are expected to be financed through cash, adjusted funds flow from operations and its bank credit facilities. The Company actively manages its counterparty exposure and has procedures to mitigate credit losses given the heightened risk exposure in the current environment.
Shareholders' Equity
At December 31, 2020, Crescent Point had 530.0 million common shares issued and outstanding compared to 529.4 million common shares at December 31, 2019. The increase of 0.6 million shares is due to shares issued pursuant to the Restricted Share Bonus Plan, partially offset by shares repurchased and cancelled under the Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB").
As of the date of this report, the Company had 530,364,516 common shares outstanding.
Normal Course Issuer Bid    
In January 2020, the Company purchased and cancelled 2.2 million common shares for total consideration of $12.7 million. The total cost paid, including commissions and fees, was recognized directly as a reduction in shareholders' equity. Under the NCIB, all common shares purchased are cancelled.
On March 5, 2020, the Company announced the acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange of its notice to implement a NCIB. The NCIB allows the Company to purchase, for cancellation, up to 36,884,438 common shares, or seven percent of the Company's public float, as at February 28, 2020. The NCIB commenced on March 9, 2020 and is due to expire on March 8, 2021. The Company suspended share repurchases in March 2020 given the weak and volatile commodity price environment and will evaluate providing additional returns to shareholders as market conditions permit.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
On January 20, 2020, Crescent Point closed the sale of certain gas infrastructure assets in Saskatchewan. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a gas handling agreement with a gas processor that includes a long-term volume commitment. The gas handling agreement is only terminable in very limited circumstances. If the termination were to occur because of the Company's default, the Company would be obligated to pay its processing commitment. If the processor were to terminate the agreement, the Company would need to seek alternative processing arrangements.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had contractual obligations and commitments as follows:

Subsequent Events
Acquisition of Kaybob Duvernay Assets
On February 17, 2021, Crescent Point announced that it had entered into an agreement with Shell Canada Energy, to acquire Kaybob Duvernay assets in Alberta for consideration of $900.0 million. The total consideration consists of $700.0 million in cash and 50.0 million common shares of Crescent Point, and is expected to close in April 2021.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has off-balance sheet arrangements consisting of various contracts which are entered into in the normal course of operations. Contracts that contain a lease are accounted for under IFRS 16 and recorded on the balance sheet as at December 31, 2020. All other contracts which are entered into in the normal course of operations are captured in the "off balance sheet commitments" table in the Contractual Obligations and Commitments section above and no asset or liability value has been assigned to these leases on the balance sheet as at December 31, 2020.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to adopt accounting policies that involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are developed based on the best available information and are believed by management to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. New events or additional information may result in the revision of these estimates over time. A summary of the significant accounting policies used by Crescent Point can be found in Note 3 - "Significant Accounting Policies" in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The following discussion outlines what management believes to be the most critical policies involving the use of estimates and assumptions.
Oil and gas activities
Reserves estimates, although not reported as part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, can have a significant effect on net income, assets and liabilities as a result of their impact on depletion, depreciation and amortization, decommissioning liability, deferred taxes, asset impairments, asset recoveries and business combinations. Independent petroleum reservoir engineers perform evaluations of the Company’s oil and gas reserves on an annual basis. The estimation of reserves is an inherently complex process requiring significant judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves are based upon a number of variables and assumptions such as geoscientific interpretation, production forecasts, commodity prices, costs and related future cash flows, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. These estimates are expected to be revised upward or downward over time, as additional information such as reservoir performance becomes available, or as economic conditions change.
For purposes of impairment testing, property, plant and equipment is aggregated into cash-generating units ("CGUs"), based on separately identifiable and largely independent cash inflows. The determination of the Company’s CGUs is subject to judgment. Factors considered in the classification of CGUs include the integration between assets, shared infrastructures, the existence of common sales points, geography, geologic structure and the manner in which management monitors and makes decisions regarding operations.
The determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability is subject to judgment as it is based on the presence of reserves and results in the transfer of assets from E&E to PP&E.
Decommissioning liability
Upon retirement of its oil and gas assets, the Company anticipates incurring substantial costs associated with decommissioning. Estimates of these costs are subject to uncertainty associated with the method, timing and extent of future decommissioning activities. The Company previously recorded the liability using estimated inflation and the relevant risk free rate to discount cash flows. At December 31, 2020, the Company used a derived inflation from the real-return rate and discounted using the relevant risk free rate. This change in accounting estimate is applied on a prospective basis. The liability, the related asset and the expense are based on estimates with respect to the cost and timing of decommissioning.
CRESCENT POINT ENERGY CORP.
17


Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The determination of fair value often requires management to make assumptions and estimates about future events. The assumptions and estimates with respect to determining the fair value of PP&E and E&E assets acquired generally require the most judgment and include estimates of reserves acquired, forecast benchmark commodity prices and discount rates. Changes in any of the assumptions or estimates used in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities could impact the amounts assigned to assets, liabilities and goodwill. Future net earnings can be affected as a result of changes in future DD&A, asset impairment or goodwill impairment.
Fair value measurement
The estimated fair value of derivative instruments resulting in derivative assets and liabilities, by its very nature, is subject to measurement uncertainty. Estimates included in the determination of the fair value of derivative instruments include forward benchmark prices, discount rates, share price and forward foreign exchange rates.
Joint control
Judgment is required to determine when the Company has joint control over an arrangement, which requires an assessment of the capital and operating activities of the projects it undertakes with partners and when the decisions in relation to those activities require unanimous consent.
Share-based compensation
Compensation costs recorded pursuant to share-based compensation plans are subject to estimated fair values, forfeiture rates and the future attainment of performance criteria.
Income taxes
Tax regulations and legislation and the interpretations thereof are subject to change. In addition, deferred income tax assets and liabilities recognize the extent that temporary differences will be receivable and payable in future periods. The calculation of the asset and liability involves a significant amount of estimation including an evaluation of when the temporary differences will reverse, an analysis of the amount of future taxable earnings, the availability of cash flows and the application of tax laws. Changes in tax regulations and legislation and the other assumptions listed are subject to measurement uncertainty.
Saskatchewan gas infrastructure asset disposition
Significant judgments were involved in assessing the economic benefit under the purchase and sale agreement in determining the right to control the assets for the conditions of a sale. Judgments were also involved in forecasting future cash flows to determine the Company's expected utilization of the asset under lease accounting. If one or a combination of the underlying assumptions were materially different than the assumptions used in the Company’s analysis, this could potentially impact the underlying accounting treatment for the transaction.
Risk Factors
Financial Risk
Financial risk is the risk of loss or lost opportunity resulting from financial management and market conditions that could have an impact on Crescent Point’s business. Financial risks the Company is exposed to include: marketing production at an acceptable price given market conditions and market access; finding and producing reserves at a reasonable cost; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; volatility in crude oil price differentials; fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility; debt service which may limit timing or amount of dividends as well as market price of shares; the continued availability of adequate debt and equity financing and cash flow to fund planned expenditures; sufficient liquidity for future operations; lost revenue or increased expenditures as a result of delayed or denied environmental, safety or regulatory approvals; adverse changes to income tax laws or other laws or government incentive programs and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry; cost of capital risk to carry out the Company’s operations; and uncertainties associated with credit facilities and counterparty credit risk.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss or lost opportunity resulting from operating and capital activities that, by their nature, could have an impact on the Company’s ability to achieve objectives. Operational risks to which Crescent Point is exposed include: uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions and exploration and development programs; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; uncertainties associated with partner plans and approvals; operational matters related to non-operated properties; inability to secure adequate product transportation including sufficient crude-by-rail or other alternate transportation; delays in business operations, pipeline restrictions, rail blockades, blowouts; unforeseen title defects; increased competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and undeveloped lands; competition for and availability of qualified personnel or management; outbreaks; mobility restrictions, loss, and health, of key personnel; unexpected geological, technical, drilling, construction and processing problems; availability of insurance; competitive action by other companies; the ability of suppliers to meet commitments and risks; and cyber security risks.

COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response resulted in a significant contraction in the global economy. This caused an unprecedented disruption in the oil and gas industry and negatively impacted the demand for and pricing of energy products, including crude oil, NGLs and natural gas produced by the Company, as discussed in this MD&A. Although commodity prices rebounded in the third quarter of 2020, there remain many variables and uncertainties regarding COVID-19 and its continuing impact on the economic environment, including the duration and magnitude of potential further disruptions in the oil and gas industry. It is not possible to precisely estimate the ongoing potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's financial condition and operations. There may be continued disruption in the demand for commodities which may have a prolonged adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, income, results from operations and cash flows. The Company has taken measures to reduce the impacts of COVID-19, including reducing its capital program, voluntary shut-ins, a work from home program and other safety measures. However, these steps may not be sufficient to insulate the Company from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other risks disclosed in the Company's Annual Information Form, for the year ended December 31, 2020, and this MD&A, may be heightened and there may also be effects that are not currently known, as the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is still uncertain.
Safety, Environmental and Regulatory Risks
Safety, environmental and regulatory risks are the risks of loss or lost opportunity resulting from changes to laws governing safety, the environment, royalties and taxation. Safety, environmental and regulatory risks Crescent Point is exposed to include: aboriginal land claims; uncertainties associated with regulatory approvals; uncertainty of government policy changes; the risk of carrying out operations with minimal environmental impact; changes in or adoption of new laws and regulations or changes in how they are interpreted or enforced; obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities and stakeholder support for activities and growth plans.
The Company’s operations are subject to costs being incurred to pay carbon taxes, to reduce GHG emissions, including methane emissions, and to perform necessary monitoring, measurement, verification and reporting of GHG emissions. Future environmental legislation may require further reductions in emissions from the Company’s operations and result in increased capital and operational expenditures related to the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Refer to the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information on the Company's risk factors.
Risk Management
Crescent Point is committed to identifying and managing its risks in the near term, as well as on a strategic and longer term basis at all levels in the organization in accordance with the Company's Board-approved Risk Management and Counterparty Credit Policy and risk management programs. Issues affecting, or with the potential to affect, our assets, operations and/or reputation, are generally of a strategic nature or are emerging issues that can be identified early and then managed, but occasionally include unforeseen issues that arise unexpectedly and must be managed on an urgent basis. Crescent Point takes a proactive approach to the identification and management of issues that can affect the Company’s assets, operations and/or reputation and have established consistent and clear policies, procedures, guidelines and responsibilities for issue identification and management.
Specific actions Crescent Point takes to ensure effective risk management include: employing qualified professional and technical staff; concentrating in a limited number of areas with low cost exploitation and development objectives; utilizing the latest technology for finding and developing reserves; constructing quality, environmentally sensitive and safe production facilities; adopting and communicating sound policies governing all areas of our business; maximizing operational control of drilling and production operations; strategic hedging of commodity prices, interest and foreign exchange rates; adhering to conservative borrowing guidelines; monitoring counterparty creditworthiness and obtaining counterparty credit insurance.
Changes in Accounting Policies
In the current accounting period, the Company adopted the amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations.
Business Combinations
IFRS 3 Business Combinations was amended in October 2018 to revise the definition of the term 'business'. The amendments narrowed the definitions of a business and outputs and includes an optional concentration test. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Over the past eight quarters, the Company's oil and gas sales have fluctuated due to movement in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price, changes in production and fluctuations in corporate oil price differentials. The Company's production has fluctuated due to changes in its development capital spending levels, dispositions, voluntary shut-ins and natural declines.
Net income (loss) has fluctuated primarily due to changes in adjusted funds flow from operations, unrealized derivative gains and losses, which fluctuate with the changes in forward market prices and foreign exchange rates, PP&E impairments recorded in the first quarter of 2020 and fourth quarter of 2019, gains and losses on capital dispositions, and fluctuations in deferred tax expense (recovery).
Adjusted net earnings (loss) from operations has fluctuated over the past eight quarters primarily due to changes in adjusted funds flow from operations, depletion and share-based compensation expense along with associated fluctuations in deferred tax expense (recovery).
Capital expenditures fluctuated through this period as a result of timing of acquisitions, dispositions and the Company's development capital program.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Review
Crescent Point's production averaged 111,217 boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2020, weighted 90 percent towards crude oil and liquids.
Adjusted funds flow from operations totaled $220.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, a 7 percent decrease from $235.7 million in the third quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by lower realized hedging gains and higher share based compensation as a result of an increase in the Company's share price.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company spent $152.3 million on drilling and development activities, drilling 90 (88.8 net) wells. Crescent Point also spent $17.1 million on facilities and seismic, for total development capital expenditures of $169.4 million.
Net debt was reduced by $40.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, ending at $2.15 billion or 2.5 times trailing adjusted funds flow from operations.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”), as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as defined in Canada by National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed, or submitted by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under securities legislation and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be so disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Crescent Point evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s DC&P. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Crescent Point’s DC&P were effective as at December 31, 2020.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as defined in Canada by National Instrument 52-109, includes those policies and procedures that:
1.pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets of Crescent Point;
2.are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of Crescent Point are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and Directors of Crescent Point; and
3.are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining ICFR for Crescent Point. They have, as at the financial year ended December 31, 2020, designed ICFR, or caused it to be designed under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The control framework Crescent Point’s officers used to design the Company’s ICFR is the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Under the supervision of Management, Crescent Point conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR as at December 31, 2020 based on the COSO Framework. Based on this evaluation, Management concluded that as of December 31, 2020, Crescent Point maintained effective ICFR.
The effectiveness of Crescent Point's ICFR as of December 31, 2020 was audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as reflected in their report for 2020. There were no changes in Crescent Point’s ICFR during the year ended December 31, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company ensured that the operating effectiveness of current controls continued with the adoption of a work from home policy for employees as well as physical distancing protocols within field operations. Neither Crescent Point's DC&P nor its ICFR have been changed in a way that materially affects, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Crescent Point's DC&P or ICFR, respectively, as a result of the measures taken in response to COVID-19.
It should be noted that while Crescent Point’s officers believe that the Company’s controls provide a reasonable level of assurance with regard to their effectiveness, they do not expect that the DC&P and ICFR will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Throughout this MD&A, the Company uses the terms “operating netback”, “netback”, “adjusted funds flow from operations”, "excess cash flow", “adjusted net earnings from operations”, “adjusted net earnings from operations per share”, “adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted”, “net debt”, “net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations”, “market capitalization” and “enterprise value”. These terms do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures presented by other issuers.
Operating netback is calculated on a per boe basis as oil and gas sales, less royalties, operating and transportation expenses. Netback is calculated on a per boe basis as operating netback plus realized commodity derivative gains and losses. Operating netback and netback are common metrics used in the oil and gas industry and are used by management to measure operating results on a per boe basis to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis. The calculations of operating netback and netback are shown in the Results of Operations section in this MD&A.
Adjusted funds flow from operations is calculated based on cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital, transaction costs and decommissioning expenditures funded by the Company. Transaction costs are excluded as they vary based on the Company's acquisition and disposition activity and to ensure that this metric is more comparable between periods. Decommissioning expenditures are discretionary and are excluded as they may vary based on the stage of the Company's assets and operating areas. Management utilizes adjusted funds flow from operations as a key measure to assess the ability of the Company to finance dividends, operating activities, capital expenditures and debt repayments. Adjusted funds flow from operations as presented is not intended to represent cash flow from operating activities, net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Excess cash flow is calculated as free cash flow less dividends. Free cash flow is calculated as adjusted funds flow from operations less capital expenditures, payments on lease liability, asset retirement obligations and other cash items (excluding net acquisitions and dispositions). Management utilizes free cash flow and excess cash flow as key measures to assess the ability of the Company to finance dividends, potential share repurchases, debt repayments and returns-based growth.
The following table reconciles cash flow from operating activities to adjusted funds flow from operations and excess cash flow:

(2) Excluding net acquisitions and dispositions.
Adjusted net earnings from operations is calculated based on net income before amortization of exploration and evaluation ("E&E") undeveloped land, impairment or impairment recoveries, unrealized derivative gains or losses, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss on translation of hedged US dollar long-term debt, unrealized gains or losses on long-term investments, gains or losses on the sale of long-term investments and gains or losses on capital acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted net earnings from operations per share and adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted are calculated as adjusted net earnings from operations divided by the number of weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding, respectively. Management utilizes adjusted net earnings from operations to present a measure of financial performance that is more comparable between periods. Adjusted net earnings from operations as presented is not intended to represent net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations is calculated as the period end net debt divided by the sum of adjusted funds flow from operations for the trailing four quarters. The ratio of net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations is used by management to measure the Company's overall debt position and to measure the strength of the Company's balance sheet. Crescent Point monitors this ratio and uses this as a key measure in making decisions regarding financing, capital spending and dividend levels.
Market capitalization is calculated by applying the period end closing share trading price to the number of shares outstanding. Market capitalization is an indication of equity valuation. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section in this MD&A for further information.
Enterprise value is calculated as market capitalization plus net debt. Management uses enterprise value to assess the valuation of the Company. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section in this MD&A for further information.
Management believes the presentation of the Non-GAAP measures above provide useful information to investors and shareholders as the measures provide increased transparency and the ability to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.

Therefore, Crescent Point's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking estimates and if such actual results, performance or achievements transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, there can be no certainty as to what benefits or detriments Crescent Point will derive therefrom.
Crude oil and natural gas information is provided in accordance with the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Topic 932 - "Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas" and where applicable, financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016 the Company filed its reserves information under National Instrument 51-101 - "Standards of Disclosure of Oil and Gas Activities" (NI 51-101), which prescribes the standards for the preparation and disclosure of reserves and related information for companies listed in Canada.
There are significant differences to the type of volumes disclosed and the basis from which the volumes are economically determined under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements and NI 51-101. The SEC requires disclosure of net reserves, after royalties, using trailing 12-month average prices and current costs; whereas NI 51-101 requires Company gross reserves, before royalties, using forecast pricing and costs. Therefore the difference between the reported numbers under the two disclosure standards can be material.
Barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) 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. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of oil, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Oil and gas metrics such as operating netback and netback do not have standardized meaning and as such may not be reliable, and should not be used to make comparisons.
The Company retained McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel") to evaluate the reserves associated with the Kaybob Duvernay assets and prepare the related independent evaluators report (the "McDaniel Report").
The statement of reserves data and other oil and gas information, associated with the Kaybob Duvernay assets, set forth in this MD&A is dated February 11, 2021. The effective date of the reserves information provided for the Kaybob Duvernay assets herein is December 31, 2020, unless otherwise indicated, and the preparation date is February 11, 2021. McDaniel prepared the McDaniel Report in accordance with the standards contained in NI 51-101 and the COGE Handbook that were in effect at the relevant time. Production of approximately 30,000 boe/d associated with the Kaybob Duvernay assets consists of 57% condensate, 8% NGL and 35% shale gas. NI 51-101 includes condensate within the product type of natural gas liquids. The Company has disclosed condensate separately from other natural gas liquids in this MD&A since the price of condensate as compared to other natural gas liquids is currently significantly higher and the Company believes that presenting the two commodities separately provides a more accurate description of its operations and results therefrom.
The Company’s annual aggregate production for 2020 and 2019, the aggregate average production for each quarter of 2020 and 2019, and the references to “natural gas” and “crude oil”, reported in this MD&A consist of the following product types, as defined in NI 51-101 and using a conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 Bbl where applicable:
