Exhibit 99.3
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management's discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is dated March 1, 2023 and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022 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, 2022 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 MD&A are in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. References to “US$” and "US dollars" are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars.
Overview
Crescent Point's 2022 results demonstrate strong operational execution, a strengthened balance sheet and continued commitment to shareholder returns. Strong WTI prices supported the Company's positive financial results, with adjusted funds flow from operations of $2.23 billion, net income of $1.48 billion and $1.15 billion of excess cash flow during 2022. The Company reduced net debt by $850.3 million, exiting the year with a net debt balance of approximately $1.15 billion and a net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations ratio of 0.5 times. The Company recorded a net impairment reversal of $428.6 million for the year, which was primarily attributable to higher forecast commodity prices partially offset by higher forecast costs.
The Company achieved its 2022 guidance with average annual production of 132,282 boe/d (guidance of 132,000 boe/d), annual operating expenses of $713.1 million or $14.77/boe (guidance of $14.75/boe), and development capital expenditures of $956.1 million (guidance of $950.0 million) to drill 206.6 net wells. The inflationary environment in 2022 resulted in higher expenses and capital costs compared to 2021 levels.
The Company continued to focus its asset portfolio and further enhance its long-term sustainability in 2022. In August, the Company acquired certain Kaybob Duvernay assets for cash consideration of $87.0 million, strengthening its position in this core area. Subsequent to year end, the Company closed the acquisition of additional Kaybob Duvernay assets for cash consideration of $370.6 million. These strategic transactions increased the Company's drilling inventory in the Kaybob Duvernay to over 20 years. The Company also closed non-core asset dispositions for total cash consideration of $283.6 million during 2022.
In July 2022, the Company achieved its near-term debt target and released its updated return of capital framework targeting the return of up to 50 percent of discretionary excess cash flow, in addition to its base dividend, through a combination of share repurchases and dividends. During the year, the Company repurchased for cancellation 31.3 million common shares for aggregate consideration of $294.2 million, and declared $0.3600 per share in dividends to shareholders. In 2022, the Company raised its quarterly cash dividend three times, from an initial quarterly dividend of $0.0450 per share to a quarterly dividend of $0.1000 per share payable on April 3, 2023.
Crescent Point's 2023 guidance includes annual average production of 138,000 - 142,000 boe/d and development capital expenditures of $1.00 - $1.10 billion. Based on current forecast commodity prices, the Company expects to generate strong returns and cash flow to provide continued returns to shareholders.
Adjusted funds flow from operations, net debt, net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations and excess cash flow are specified financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures presented by other entities. Refer to the Specified Financial Measures section in this MD&A for further information.

Total production averaged 132,282 boe/d during 2022 compared to 132,683 boe/d in 2021. The Company's production by area has varied as production growth in the Kaybob Duvernay area was offset by non-core asset dispositions in Saskatchewan.
The Company's weighting to crude oil and liquids production in 2022 decreased by 4 percent. The decrease was primarily due to higher natural gas production as a result of production growth in the Kaybob Duvernay area and the dispositions of non core oil-weighted conventional assets in Southeast Saskatchewan as well as in the Saskatchewan Viking resource play.

Benchmark crude oil prices strengthened in the first half of 2022, primarily due to the recovery in global demand from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. OPEC did not sufficiently increase production to meet growing demand which put additional pressure on global inventory levels. The increase in demand was partially offset by releases of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ("SPR") by the U.S. government, which increased supply. In the second half of the year WTI prices fell primarily due to heightened fears of a global recession and its effect on capital markets.
U.S. natural gas prices strengthened in 2022, due to the conflict in Ukraine and the call on U.S. natural gas to meet European demand. The recovery from the pandemic also spurred further demand for natural gas and incremental strength in global gas prices.
Alberta natural gas prices were higher than the previous year due to the increased global demand for natural gas; however, reduced takeaway capacity from pipeline maintenance put downward pressure on prices and resulted in a wider AECO differential to NYMEX relative to 2021.
Exhibit 2
chart-3dad0c6264764c01821a.jpgchart-543bcdd5e8644addaa9a.jpg
LSB and UHC crude oil differentials improved in 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to planned maintenance of oil sands upgraders, which removed significant light oil supply from the market. FOS crude oil differentials widened in 2022, primarily due to discounted Western Canadian Select ("WCS") crude oil pricing in the U.S. Gulf Coast as a result of the SPR releases. WCS crude oil differentials were also impacted by a fire at the BP Toledo refinery in September 2022 which resulted in a full shutdown and reduced heavy oil demand in the Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts Midwest.
Condensate differentials weakened slightly in 2022, primarily due to depressed naphtha pricing in the U.S. Gulf Coast, which competes directly with Canadian C5+.
In 2022, the Company's average selling price for crude oil and condensate increased 48 percent, primarily due to a 44 percent increase in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price.
Crescent Point's corporate crude oil and condensate differential relative to Cdn$ WTI in 2022 was $6.82 per bbl compared to $6.73 per bbl in 2021. The slightly wider differential was driven by weaker FOS and C5+ differentials, partially offset by stronger LSB and UHC price differentials.
In 2022, the Company's average selling price for NGLs remained relatively consistent with 2021.
The Company's average selling price for natural gas in 2022 increased 46 percent, primarily as a result of the increases in the AECO daily and NYMEX benchmark prices. The Company's Canadian gas production generally trades at a slight premium to AECO 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, propane, 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 NGL derivatives are referenced to WTI and Conway C3, respectively. The Company's natural gas derivatives are referenced to NYMEX and the AECO monthly index. 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 period ended December 31, 2022 for additional information on the Company's derivatives.

(1)The crude oil realized derivative loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 includes the realized derivative gains and losses on financial crude oil price differential contracts. The average crude oil volumes hedged and average barrels of oil equivalent hedged do not include the hedged volumes related to financial crude oil price differential contracts.
(2)GJ/d is defined as gigajoules per day.
(3)The natural gas derivative gain for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes the realized derivative gains on financial natural gas price differential contracts. The average natural gas volumes hedged and average barrels of oil equivalent hedged do not include the hedged volumes related to financial natural gas price differentials contracts.
The Company's realized derivative losses for crude oil were $647.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $351.1 million in 2021. The increased realized derivative losses were primarily attributable to the increase in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price.
The Company's realized derivative losses for NGLs were $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0.7 million in 2021. The increased derivative losses in 2022 were primarily attributable to the higher average hedged volumes.
Crescent Point's realized derivative gains for natural gas were $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to losses of $9.0 million in 2021. The gains relate to the Company's financial natural gas basis differential contracts as a result of the wider AECO to NYMEX differential. The derivative gains in 2022 on basis differential contracts were partially offset by losses on AECO swap contracts.

The Company's operating netback for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased significantly to $62.94 per boe from $42.43 per boe in 2021. The increase in the Company's operating netback was primarily due to the increase in average selling price, partially offset by higher royalties and the increases in operating and transportation expenses. The increase in the Company's netback was a result of the increase in the operating netback, partially offset by an increased realized loss on commodity derivatives.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company's depletion, depreciation and amortization ("DD&A") rate increased to $19.71 per boe compared to $16.23 per boe in 2021. The increase in the DD&A rate per boe in 2022 was primarily attributable to the impairment reversal recorded in the first quarter of 2022, which increased the carrying value of the Company's property, plant and equipment ("PP&E"), partially offset by the Saskatchewan Viking disposition in July 2022.
DD&A increased 21 percent compared to 2021, primarily due to higher DD&A rates, partially offset by lower amortization of exploration and evaluation ("E&E") undeveloped land.

The Company recognized a net impairment reversal of $428.6 million during 2022 compared to an impairment reversal of $2.51 billion during 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized an impairment reversal of $1.54 billion on its development and production assets primarily due to higher forecast benchmark commodity prices at March 31, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021, which was the last time the Company conducted an impairment test. In the first quarter impairment test the Company also increased its forecast costs based on the environment and expectations at that time.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $985.0 million on its Southeast Saskatchewan and Southwest Saskatchewan development and production assets primarily due to the persistent inflationary environment which resulted in further increases to forecast costs as compared to March 31, 2022. In addition, a change in the expected development timing of these assets contributed to the impairment loss.

At December 31, 2022, the Company classified certain non-core assets in Alberta as held for sale. Immediately prior to classifying the assets held for sale, the Company conducted a review of the assets' recoverable amounts and recorded an impairment loss of $71.3 million on PP&E. The Company also recorded an impairment loss of $56.0 million during the first quarter of 2022 related to assets held for sale at March 31, 2022. These impairments were recorded as a component of the net impairment reversal in 2022. See Note 8 – "Property, Plant and Equipment" in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further information.
Other Income

Goodwill
The Company's goodwill balance is attributable to corporate acquisitions completed during the period from 2003 through 2012. The goodwill balance as at December 31, 2022 was $203.9 million compared to $211.5 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease of $7.6 million is attributable to the disposition of the non-core Saskatchewan Viking assets and other minor asset dispositions.
Other Current Liabilities
At December 31, 2022, other current liabilities consist of $49.1 million related to the current portion of long-term share-based compensation, $24.9 million related to the current portion of lease liabilities, and $41.6 million related to decommissioning liability.

At December 31, 2022, Crescent Point's enterprise value was $6.48 billion and the Company was capitalized with 82 percent equity compared to $5.92 billion and 66 percent at December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company's net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations ratio at December 31, 2022 decreased to 0.5 times from 1.4 times at December 31, 2021. The decrease was largely due to a reduction in net debt as a result of excess cash flow generated in 2022, and higher adjusted funds flow from operations, primarily as a result of the increase in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price.

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 audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The following discussion outlines what management believes are 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 DD&A, decommissioning liability, deferred taxes, asset impairments and impairment reversals, and business combinations. Independent petroleum reservoir engineers perform evaluations of the Company’s oil and gas reserves on an annual or as needed 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 production forecasts, commodity prices, costs and related future cash flows, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. These estimates are 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, PP&E 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 liability, the related asset and the expense are based on estimates with respect to the cost and timing of decommissioning.
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, expected cash flows from estimated proved plus probable reserves and the application of tax laws. Changes in tax regulations and legislation and the other assumptions listed are subject to measurement uncertainty.

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 and dispositions; 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, public infrastructure constraints including 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 onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and actions taken in response, resulted in a significant contraction in the global economy and in the oil and gas industry. The demand for and pricing of energy products has since returned to historical levels.
Although the worst impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's financial condition and operations appear to have passed, future developments may have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, income, results from operations and cash flows. Other risks disclosed in the Company's Annual Information Form, for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in this MD&A may be heightened and there may also be effects that are not currently known.
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: indigenous 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, 2022 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 but are not limited to: employing qualified professional and technical staff; concentrating in a limited number of areas with lower risk development projects; utilizing market proven 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 program including commodity prices, interest and foreign exchange rates; adhering to conservative borrowing guidelines and maintaining significant liquidity; monitoring counterparty creditworthiness and obtaining supplementary credit protection when warranted.

A significant factor in Crescent Point's 2020, 2021 and 2022 financial and operational results was the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting impact on commodity prices. In 2020, with the onset of the pandemic, the global economy collapsed sending commodity prices materially lower, which significantly impacted the Company's 2020 financial results. As the global economy recovered in 2021 and 2022, demand for goods, services and commodities increased, which drove higher commodity prices and improvements in the Company's results. Continued robust demand for goods and services supported strong commodity prices and drove persistently high inflation during 2022, which resulted in Central Banks initiating interest rate increases to cool their economies.
Fluctuating levels of acquisition and disposition activity impacted the Company's portfolio, production levels and financial results.
Net income (loss) over the past three years fluctuated primarily due to volatile commodity prices resulting in varying levels of oil and gas sales, PP&E impairment charges and reversals, unrealized derivative gains and losses on commodity contracts and the associated fluctuations in deferred tax expense (recovery).
Adjusted net earnings from operations fluctuated over the past three years primarily due to changes in adjusted funds flow from operations, depletion and share-based compensation expense along with associated fluctuations in the deferred tax expense (recovery).

Over the past eight quarters, the Company's oil and gas sales have fluctuated due to volatility in the crude oil, condensate and natural gas benchmark prices, 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, acquisitions and dispositions, voluntary shut-ins and subsequent reactivations, and natural declines.
Net income (loss) has fluctuated over the past eight quarters primarily due to changes in PP&E impairment charges and reversals, changes in adjusted funds flow from operations, unrealized derivative gains and losses, which fluctuate with changes in forward market prices and foreign exchange rates, gains and losses on capital dispositions, and fluctuations in deferred tax expense.
Adjusted net earnings 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.
Capital expenditures have also fluctuated throughout this period due to the timing of acquisitions, dispositions and changes in the Company's development capital spending levels which vary based on a number of factors, including the prevailing commodity price environment.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Review
Crescent Point's production averaged 134,124 boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2022, weighted 81 percent towards crude oil and liquids.
Adjusted funds flow from operations totaled $522.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a 9 percent decrease from $576.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower WTI pricing.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company spent $213.9 million on drilling and development activities, drilling 52 (49.4 net) wells. Crescent Point also spent $32.5 million on facilities and seismic, for total development capital expenditures of $246.4 million.
Net debt was reduced by $43.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, ending at $1.15 billion or 0.5 times trailing adjusted funds flow from operations.
Net loss of $498.1 million was impacted by a $985.0 million impairment charge primarily attributable to higher costs and a change in the development timing on the Company's Southeast and Southwest Saskatchewan CGUs.
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, 2022.
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, 2022, 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, 2022 based on the COSO Framework. Based on this evaluation, Management concluded that as of December 31, 2022, Crescent Point maintained effective ICFR.
The effectiveness of Crescent Point's ICFR as of December 31, 2022 was audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as reflected in their report accompanying the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no changes in Crescent Point’s ICFR during the year ended December 31, 2022 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.

Specified Financial Measures
Throughout this MD&A, the Company uses the terms “total operating netback”, “total netback”, "operating netback", "netback", “adjusted funds flow from operations”, "excess cash flow", "discretionary excess cash flow", "base dividends", "adjusted working capital (surplus) deficiency", “net debt”, “enterprise value”, “net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations”, "net debt as a percentage of enterprise value", “adjusted net earnings from operations”, “adjusted net earnings from operations per share” and “adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted”. 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.
Total operating netback and total netback are historical non-GAAP financial measures. Total operating netback is calculated as oil and gas sales, less royalties, operating and transportation expenses. Total netback is calculated as total operating netback plus realized commodity derivative gains and losses. Total operating netback and total netback are common metrics used in the oil and gas industry and are used to measure operating results to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis. The most directly comparable financial measure to total operating netback and total netback is oil and gas sales.
The following table reconciles oil and gas sales to total operating netback and total netback:

Realized loss on commodity derivatives(641.8)(360.8)78 
Total netback2,397.5 1,693.9 42 
Operating netback and netback are non-GAAP ratios and are calculated as total operating netback and total netback, respectively, divided by total production. Operating netback and netback are common metrics used in the oil and gas industry and are used to measure operating results on a per boe basis.
Base dividends is a historical non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as dividends declared less special dividends declared as part of the Company’s return of capital framework and adjusted for timing of the dividend record date. Base dividends are based on a framework that targets dividend sustainability at lower commodity prices, allows for flexibility in the capital allocation process and dividend growth over time, and assists in determining the additional return of capital to shareholders as part of the Company’s return of capital framework.

Adjusted funds flow from operations is a capital management measure and 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. The most directly comparable financial measure to adjusted funds flow from operations is cash flow from operating activities. Adjusted funds flow from operations is a key measure that assesses the ability of the Company to finance dividends, potential share repurchases, 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. See Note 17 – "Capital Management" in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information on the Company's capital management.
Excess cash flow is a historical non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as adjusted funds flow from operations less capital expenditures, payments on lease liability, decommissioning expenditures funded by the Company and other items (excluding net acquisitions and dispositions). The most directly comparable financial measure to excess cash flow disclosed in the Company's financial statements is cash flow from operating activities. Excess cash flow is a key measure that assesses the ability of the Company to finance dividends, potential share repurchases, debt repayments and returns-based growth.
Discretionary excess cash flow is a historical non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as excess cash flow less base dividends. The most directly comparable financial measure to discretionary excess cash flow disclosed in the Company's financial statements is cash flow from operating activities. Discretionary excess cash flow is a key measure that assesses the funds available for reinvestment in the Company’s business or for return of capital to shareholders beyond the base dividend.

Enterprise value is a supplementary financial measure and is calculated as market capitalization plus net debt. Enterprise value is used to assess the valuation of the Company. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section in this MD&A for further information.
Net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations is a capital management measure and is calculated as the period end net debt divided by the sum of adjusted funds flow from operations for the trailing four quarters. Net debt as a percentage of enterprise value is a supplementary financial measure and is calculated as net debt divided by enterprise value. The measures of net debt to adjusted funds flow from operations and net debt as a percentage of enterprise value are used to measure the Company's overall debt position and to measure the strength of the Company's balance sheet. Crescent Point monitors these measures and uses them as key measures in capital allocation decisions including capital spending levels, returns to shareholders including dividends and share repurchases, and financial considerations.

The SEC requires disclosure of net reserves, after royalties, using 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 may 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 and condensate 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.
Years of corporate inventory figures include proved and probably locations, as derived from the independently evaluated (by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd.) Reserves Report in accordance with NI 51-101 and the COGE Handbook, and additional internally identified net drilling locations.
NI 51-101 includes condensate within the natural gas liquids (NGLs) product type. The Company has disclosed condensate as combined with crude oil and 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 this crude oil and condensate presentation provides a more accurate description of its operations and results therefrom.
The Company’s annual aggregate production for 2022 and 2021, the aggregate production for the past eight quarters and the references to “natural gas”, “crude oil" and "condensate”, 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:
