Cautionary Statement on Forward Looking Information This presentation contains “forward looking information” and “forward looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, which may include, but are not limited to: statements with respect to future events or future performance; management’s expectations regarding PrairieSky’s growth and realization of future value from the Royalty Properties; results of operations of third parties active on the Royalty Properties; expectations that the number of wells reported as on production in the current quarter will increase in the following quarter when data is updated; estimated future revenues; future dividends and share buybacks; production estimates; costs and revenue; future demand for and prices of commodities; business prospects; future application of EOR schemes and other secondary and tertiary recovery methods to improve recovery factors on the Royalty Properties; expectations regarding downspacing and infill drilling; expectations regarding continued improvement in technology and application of new drilling and completion techniques, including application of horizontal drilling in areas otherwise largely delineated with vertical wells; expectations regarding ongoing and continued activity levels on the Royalty Properties; estimated historical capital spent on the Royalty Properties and capital efficiencies related thereto, and future capital spend on the Royalty Properties; expectations regarding new discoveries and the contribution to the reserves, production and financial results of the Company; expectations regarding historical and future optimization efforts on certain plays and the resulting effect on declines in production; PrairieSky’s ability to lease large amounts of land, and its corresponding ability to attract associated bonus consideration revenue and capital spent on the Royalty Properties; expectations that data from drilling activities will lead to exploitation of additional zones and substances that were not otherwise targeted; and expectations regarding the future development on the Company’s lands, including the Duvernay and Clearwater land positions, including expectations that they will add significant growth to royalty revenue and production over time; and the prospectivity of lands that are not included in this presentation and the Company’s expectations regarding the same. Such forward looking statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budgets”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “predicts”, “projects”, “intends”, “targets”, “aims”, “anticipates” or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of PrairieSky to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
and NGL that drive royalty revenue; changes in national, provincial and local government legislation and regulations, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies and the enforcement thereof; regulatory and political or economic developments in any of the jurisdictions where properties in which PrairieSky holds a royalty interest are located; risks related to the operators of the properties in which PrairieSky holds a royalty interest, including changes in the ownership and control of such operators; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to,
excessive cost escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which PrairieSky holds a royalty interest; actual hydrocarbon content may differ from the reserves and resources contained in technical reports; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates and other technical reports; risks and hazards associated with the business of exploration and development on any of the properties in which PrairieSky holds a royalty interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological conditions, natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest or a political change; and the integration of acquired assets. The statements contained in presentation are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which PrairieSky holds a royalty interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with good oilfield practices and all applicable regulations; the availability of capital to such operators to further develop such properties; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the operators on the Royalty Properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; no material changes to existing tax treatment; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which PrairieSky holds a royalty interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; the accuracy of assumptions and information used in PrairieSky’s internal assessments of its Royalty Properties and the prospectivity thereof, including with respect to acquired assets; and the absence of any
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements and investors are cautioned that forward looking statements are not guarantees of future
statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. For additional information with respect to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent AIF filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities available at www.sedar.com and on our website at www.prairiesky.com. The forward-looking statements herein are made as of December 31, 2019 only and PrairieSky does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Cautionary Statement Regarding Future-Oriented Financial Information This presentation also contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about our prospective results, funds from operations, future development of the Royalty Properties, future drilling locations, future reserve additions and in each case values associated therewith, all of which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations, and qualifications as set forth above. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on FOFI and forward-looking statements. PrairieSky’s actual results, performance, realization or achievement of anticipated values could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and FOFI, or if any of them do so, what benefits PrairieSky will derive therefrom. PrairieSky has included the forward- looking statements and FOFI in this presentation in order to provide readers with a more complete perspective on PrairieSky’s future value proposition and future development potential and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. PrairieSky disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or FOFI, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
Certain measures in this presentation do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS and therefore, are considered non-GAPP measures. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by the Company to provide potential investors with additional information regarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. This presentation includes the following Non-GAAP measures: 1) Free Cash Flow which is defined as Funds from Operations, a GAAP measure used in PrairieSky’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019; 2) Operating Netback which is defined in PrairieSky’s management discussion & analysis for the year ended December 31, 2019; and 3) Operating Margin which is PrairieSky’s royalty revenue less production and mineral taxes. This measure is used to demonstrate the comparability between PrairieSky and production and exploration companies in the crude oil and natural gas industry as it shows the revenue generation from field operations. Further information on Non-GAAP measures can be found in PrairieSky Royalty’s management discussion & analysis and audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or PrairieSky Royalty’s website at www.prairiesky.com.
CONVERSIONS OF NATURAL GAS TO BOE
To provide a single unit of production for analytical purposes, natural gas production and reserves volumes are converted mathematically to equivalent barrels of oil (boe). We use the industry-accepted standard conversion of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf = 1 bbl). The 6:1 boe ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip. It does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is not based on either energy content or current prices. While the boe ratio is useful for comparative measures and observing trends, it does not accurately reflect individual product values and might be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. As well, given that the value ratio, based on the current price of crude oil to natural gas, is significantly different from the 6:1 energy equivalency ratio, using a 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.
