ADVISORIES
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: In the interest of providing Bellatrix’s shareholders and potential investors with information regarding Bellatrix, including management’s assessment of Bellatrix’s future plans and operations, certain statements made by the presenter and contained in these presentation
materials (collectively, this “presentation”) are forward looking statements or information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, collectively referred to herein as “forward looking statements”. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation
and are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. orward looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to: management's intended strategy including its intent to be a drill bit driven growth oriented company, to focus on profit, to be a low cost finder and operator, to target accretive
acquisitions, to maintain a strong balance sheet, to employ modern technology coupled with innovation, the intent to continue peer leading per share growth, the intent to maintain industry leading operations metrics, the intent to maintain and grow leading land position in the Deep Basin, the intent to ensure
corporate sustainability by funding capital spending through funds flow from operations, the intent to target net debt to funds flow of approximately <1.5x, the intent to pursue a proactive commodity price risk management program to mitigate downside risk while providing upside exposure, the intent to term out
revolver debt to increase liquidity and financial flexibility, the intent to continue to explore accretive joint venture opportunities to maximize value of Bellatrix’s portfolio, the intent to consider other merger and acquisition opportunities and tuck-in acquisitions, the intent to review opportunities to optimally reinvest
capital to support 15% annual production per share growth, the intent to continue reviewing strategy to ensure Bellatrix is positioned to maximize long term value, the belief that current processing capacity is expected to be greatly enhanced by the construction of owned and operated gas infrastructure, the belief
that the new gas plant will complement Bellatrix’s attractive portfolio of existing plant capacity and the intent to target 15% annual production per share growth; the timing of completion, costs of commissioning and capacities of the new gas plant being built; the expected details and amounts of Bellatrix's 2014
capital budget; the expected economics and resultant improvements in revenue from the new gas plant; the expectation that the Cardium will remain a key focus area for Bellatrix; the belief that the Notikewin/Falher provides significant upside for Bellatrix; the intent that the joint ventures will accelerate growth and
development of Bellatrix's core Cardium and Notikewin/Falher assets; the belief that the Duvernay provides significant option value for Bellatrix; the plans to drill one horizontal well in the lower belly river channel in 2015; management's assessment of future plans and operations; drilling plans and the timing thereof;
commodity price risk management strategies; estimated average and exit production rates and the oil and liquids percentage of such production; estimates of commodity prices and exchange rates; drilling inventory and costs and time to develop; and expected 2014 operating costs, cash from operations, cash per
share and exit debt levels. Estimated 2014 cash from operations, cash per share and 2014 year end debt levels may constitute financial outlooks under applicable securities laws and were approved by management on October 14, 2014. The information which may be considered financial outlooks have been
included herein to provide readers with an understanding of the anticipated funds available to Bellatrix to fund its operations and readers are cautioned that the information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks, including, without limitation, risks associated
with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production, marketing and transportation, loss of markets, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, competition from other producers, inability to retain drilling rigs and other services, incorrect
assessment of the value of acquisitions, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, actual results from wells to be drilled may not be similar to the results from previous wells drilled or the expected type curves, and delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and ability to
access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as a result of the risk factors set out and other known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Bellatrix. In
addition, forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such statements and information but which may prove to be incorrect and which have been used to develop such statements and information in order to provide shareholders
with a more complete perspective on Bellatrix's future operations. Such information may prove to be incorrect and readers are cautioned that the information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although Bellatrix believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements or information are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because Bellatrix can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to other factors and assumptions which may be identified herein, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: the
impact of increasing competition; the general stability of the economic and political environment in which Bellatrix operates; the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; the ability of Bellatrix to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; drilling results; the ability of
the operator of the projects which Bellatrix has an interest in to operate the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the ability of Bellatrix to obtain financing on acceptable terms; field production rates and decline rates; the ability to replace and expand oil and natural gas reserves through acquisition,
development of exploration; the timing and costs of pipeline, storage and facility construction and expansion and the ability of Bellatrix to secure adequate product transportation; future commodity prices; currency, exchange and interest rates; the regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and environmental
matters in the jurisdictions in which Bellatrix operates; and the ability of Bellatrix to successfully market its oil and natural gas products. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which have been used. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from
those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect Bellatrix's operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") and may be
accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com), through the SEC website (www.sec.gov), and at Bellatrix's website (www.bellatrixexploration.com). Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained herein are made as at the date hereof and Bellatrix does not undertake any obligation to update
publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
NON-GAAP MEASURES: This presentation contains the term "cash from operations" which should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than "cash flow from operating activities" as determined in accordance with Canadian GAAP as an indicator of Bellatrix's performance. Therefore reference to
cash from operations or cash from operations per share may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. Management uses cash from operations to analyze operating performance and leverage and considers cash from operations to be a key measure as it demonstrates Bellatrix's
ability to generate the cash necessary to fund future capital investments and to repay debt. This presentation also used the term Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure calculated as net profit (loss) before financing expense, income tax expense and depletion and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes
impairment losses (reversals) on property plant and equipment, unrealized losses (gains) on commodity contracts, gains on corporate and property acquisitions, losses (gains) on property dispositions and swaps, share-based compensation, certain transaction costs including reorganization costs and losses on the
redemption/repurchase of debentures. By eliminating these items, management believes the result is a useful measure across time in evaluating Bellatrix’s fundamental core operating performance. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to manage our business, including in preparing our annual operating
budget and financial projections. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors since similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, rating agencies, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies in similar industries. As indicated, Adjusted EBITDA
does not include interest expense on borrowed money, depreciation, depletion and amortization expense on capital assets or the payment of income taxes, which are all necessary elements of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA does not account for these and other expenses and therefore its utility as a measure of
our operating performance has material limitations. As a result of these limitations, management does not view Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as net profit (loss) and revenues, to measure operating performance. The reconciliation between cash flow from operating activities
and funds flow from operations (Bellatrix calculates funds flow from operations in the same manner as cash from operations) can be found in Bellatrix's Management's Discussion and Analysis. Cash from operations per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares for the period.
FD&A COSTS: This presentation includes calculations of finding, development and acquisition ("FD&A") costs for the year ended December 31, 2013. National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") requires that written disclosure of finding and development costs to be
calculated in accordance with Section 5.15 of NI 51-101 which does not include the reserves additions associated with acquisitions or the costs of acquisitions in the calculation. The calculations of FD&A in this presentation include the reserves additions associated with acquisitions and the costs of acquisitions as
Bellatrix believes that including the effect of acquisitions provides useful information to investors. FD&A costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are $9.67/boe and $6.95/ proved plus probable boe respectively and the average FD&A for the last three completed years is $9.01/ proved plus probable
boe. The finding and developments costs calculated in accordance with Section 5.15 of NI 51-101 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are $10.67/proved boe ($9.65/proved plus probable boe) and $11.73/proved boe ($7.31/proved plus probable boe), respectively, and the average finding and
development costs for the last three completed years is $11.47/proved boe ($8.86/proved plus probable boe). The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total
finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year.
BOE PRESENTATION The term barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 mcf/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 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. All boe conversions
in this presentation are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.
INITIAL PRODUCTION RATES: Initial production rates disclosed herein may not be indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery. Such rates are not determinative of the future production rates of such wells and do not reflect how the production from such wells will decline thereafter. While encouraging,
readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for Bellatrix. A pressure transient analysis or well‐test interpretation has not been carried out in respect of all wells. Accordingly, Bellatrix cautions that the test results should be considered to be preliminary.
ESTIMATED ULTIMATE RECOVERY (EUR): In this presentation, estimated ultimate recovery represents the estimated ultimate recovery associated with the type curves presented which are based on the assumptions used by Sproule Associates Limited to estimate Bellatrix's proved plus probable reserves per
well as evaluated effective December 31, 2013 based on forecast prices and costs. There is no certainty that such Bellatrix will ultimately recover such volumes from the wells it drills.
ANALOGOUS INFORMATION: Certain information in this presentation may constitute "analogous information" as defined in National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”), including, but not limited to, the reservoir data, production rates of industry wells, cumulative
production information, and economics information relating to the areas in which Bellatrix has an interest. Such information has been obtained from government sources, regulatory agencies or other industry participants. Management of Bellatrix believes the information is relevant as it helps to define the reservoir
characteristics and the reserves and production potential in which Bellatrix holds an interest. Such information has not been prepared in accordance with NI 51-101. Bellatrix is also unable to confirm that the analogous information was prepared by a qualified reserves evaluator or auditor. Such information is not an
estimate of the resources attributable to lands held or to be held by Bellatrix and there is no certainty that the reservoir data, resource estimates, production and decline rates and economics information for the lands held by Bellatrix will be similar to the information presented herein. The reader is cautioned that the
data relied upon by Bellatrix may be in error and/or may prove not be analogous to the lands be held by Bellatrix.
CURRENCY: All dollar amounts in this presentation are Canadian dollars unless otherwise identified.
DRILLING LOCATIONS: This presentation discloses drilling locations in three categories: (i) proved locations; (ii) probable locations; and (iii) unbooked locations. Proved locations and probable locations are sometimes collectively referred to as “booked locations”, are derived from Bellatrix’s most recent
independent reserves evaluation and account for drilling locations that have associated proved + probable reserves or probable-only reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on Bellatrix’s acreage outside of evaluated areas and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be
drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations have not been risked, and do not have attributed reserves or resources.
RESERVES INFORMATION: Unless indicated otherwise, reserve estimates and related future net revenue and other reserves information is derived from Bellatrix’s independent reserve report prepared by Sproule Associates Limited as at December 31, 2013 using forecast prices and costs. Land acreage
information is as available at June 30, 2014.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION: Unless otherwise stated, financial information is based upon Bellatrix’s 2014 second quarter report for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Last twelve month (“LTM”) financial information is at June 30, 2014 and reflects only the activity of Angle Energy Ltd. post-acquisition
on December 11, 2013.
