Year-end 2025 Highlight

• ARC generated record annual average production of 374,336 boe per day (59 per cent natural gas and 41 per cent crude oil and liquids), an increase of 10 per cent per share compared to 2024.
• ARC recognized funds from operations of $3.2 billion ($5.48 per share), and generated free funds flow of $1.3 billion ($2.20 per share) in 2025.
  • ARC distributed 75 per cent of free funds flow to shareholders through its base dividend and share repurchases. The remainder was allocated to debt reduction, allowing ARC to further strengthen its balance sheet.
  • ARC increased its base dividend for the fifth consecutive year. ARC’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an 11 per cent increase to the quarterly dividend, from $0.19 to $0.21 per share ($0.84 per share, per annum).
• ARC’s annual average realized natural gas price of $3.51 per Mcf was 89 per cent or $1.65 per Mcf greater than the average AECO 7A Monthly Index price. This marks the 13th consecutive year that ARC’s market diversification strategy resulted in a realized natural gas price that exceeded AECO by 20 per cent or greater.
  • Natural gas curtailments at Sunrise due to low natural gas prices during the third and fourth quarters of 2025 reduced full-year average production by approximately 12,000 boe per day (approximately 70 MMcf per day). The curtailments preserved resource for periods when prices were higher, and allowed ARC to defer approximately $50 million of capital.
• In July 2025, ARC completed the acquisition of condensate-rich Montney assets in the Kakwa area of Alberta from Strathcona Resources Ltd. in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.6 billion ⁽⁵⁾ (the “Kakwa Acquisition”).

• In March 2025, ARC announced a long-term sale and purchase agreement with ExxonMobil LNG Asia Pacific (“EMLAP”), an ExxonMobil affiliate, for the supply of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”). Under the agreement, EMLAP will purchase ARC’s LNG offtake from the Cedar LNG Project, approximately 1.5 million tonnes per annum at international pricing. The agreement commences with commercial operations at the Cedar LNG Facility, expected in late 2028.
