RIGHT SIZE: THE NEW CANADIAN MARKET SIZE

• Since the 2014 oil price decline, the industry has seen a market shift in the number of wells drilled in western Canada
• The well count has stabilized at ~ 5,000 to 6,500 wells
• The decline in well count has been offset by an increase in well intensity
• An increase in the average rig count by approximately 24 rigs would absorb all excess staffed equipment (6 crews)
• An increase in the average rig count by ~ 50 rigs in high intensity plays would absorb all currently excess and idled

fracturing capacity in Canada (approximately 18 crews)

APPENDICES

APPENDIX 1: SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES

Safety

• Our frontline workers face dangers that are

not typical in most office workplace environments; therefore it is imperative we remain committed to safety.

• A common measure for our safety

performance is Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR)

• During the past 12 Months, our LTIR rate

has dropped by nearly 50%

People Development

• Since 2017 we have invested over 200,000

hours of training time into our people

• To provide a safe and productive work

environment that results in quality service is training our people

• A majority of our operational people are

required to be trained as Class 1 driver trainers

• Trican’s driver trainer program has allowed

us to maintain our driver trainer status despite significantly increased regulations

• Investment into our lean six sigma

efficiency program will see a number of our people positioned to receive their green

• belt. Our people and our shareholders will

see the benefit of our lean initiatives

Environment

• Trican and its customers are subject to

strict environmental regulation and compliance.

• We have a system of governance to ensure

compliance of environmental rules and regulations

• Beyond standard regulatory compliance,

Trican is committed to finding economically and environmentally responsible ways to reduce our environmental footprint

• Trican has the largest fleet of dual fuel

fracturing pumps. Dual fuel fracturing pumps provide several benefits to our customers and the environment, including 27% reduced GHGs (source: U.S. EIA)

• Investment into tractor-less operations will

reduce engine idle times, fuel consumption and therefore GHGs

Our Annual Information Form provides more detail on our policies and governance surrounding social and environmental matters. Our primary initiatives in these areas are as follows:

29

APPENDIX 2: NON-GAAP MEASURE: Free Cash Flow

• Free Cash Flow does not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by

IFRS and therefore, is considered non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

• Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP term and has been reconciled to “Cash Flow

From Operating Activities” for applicable financial periods, being the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. Management relies on Free Cash Flow as an additional performance measure used as indicators of our ability to service and repay debt, make investments and return capital to investors, through stock repurchases. A surplus of Free Cash Flow provides management with information to determine if funds might be available for incremental financing activities, including repurchase of shares and / or repayment of debt. A deficit of free cash flow indicates management may require

• ther sources of cash to maintain the existing capital structure, including new

loans and borrowings or asset divestitures. Changes in non-cash working capital are excluded from the calculation as these changes are less reflective of the current periods “Results From Operating Activities”

• Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as “Cash

Flow From Operating Activities” (as stated in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures and adjusted for changes in non- cash working capital.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 $ Millions Cash Flow From Operating Activities $64.3 Change in non-cash working capital ($54.9) Purchase of property and equipment ($18.9) Free Cash Flow ($9.5)
