2 Forward Looking Statements Any “financial outlook” or “future oriented financial information” in this presentation as defined by applicable securities laws, has been approved by management of Baytex. Such financial outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance

  • n such information may not be appropriate for other circumstances.

In the interest of providing the shareholders of Baytex and potential investors with information regarding Baytex, including management's assessment of future plans and operations, certain statements in this presentation are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "intend", "may", "objective", "ongoing", "outlook", "potential", "project", "plan", "should", "target", "would", "will" or similar words suggesting future outcomes, events or performance. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation peak only as of the date hereof and are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Specifically, this presentation contains forward-looking statements relating to but not limited to: the vision for Baytex, including that: it will be a top tier North American oil producer focused on per share value creation, have disciplined growth and return of capital to shareholders, target 10-15% annual total return to shareholders, be a self-funded business model, target net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio of <1.5x, consider share buybacks and/or reinstating a dividend at the appropriate time, have strong asset quality, be more than 80% liquids-weighted and more than 80% operated, have a long term decline rate of less than 30%, target accretive acquisitions and focus on “next play” capture; the outlook for production volumes, adjusted funds flow and net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio from now until year-end 2023; Baytex’s estimates of reserves; 2019 preliminary guidance for annual production, production mix and exploration and development capital; that Baytex will have world class assets, high return light oil assets, an attractive growth and free cash flow, a superior capability to optimize capital allocation, a strong balance sheet and a top tier management team; expectations for Baytex, including: 5-10% annual production growth, 2019 adjusted funds flow and free cash flow, that there is 10+ years of inventory, the ratio of net debt to adjusted funds flow; that Baytex has an enhanced platform for growth, will build on strong operational momentum and drive further operational excellence and shareholder returns; expectations as to Baytex’s production and operating cash flow by area and production and revenue by commodity for 2019; our reduced guidance for 2018 operating and general and administrative expenses; the impact of our heavy oil optimization strategy; our plans to optimize heavy oil prices, including: the volume of oil we expect to deliver to market by rail and the percentage of our rail commitments exposed to WCS pricing; that our top priority is disciplined capital allocation to drive meaningful free cash flow; our expected adjusted funds flow in excess of exploration and development capital expenditures; that we are targeting debt adjusted production per share growth of approximately 10%; 2019 preliminary guidance for exploration and development capital expenditures, production, percentage of production that will be Oil and NGLs, operating netback, adjusted funds flow, adjusted funds flow by share, year-end net debt, year-end net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio; the impact of changes to the price of WTI on Baytex’s 2019 free cash flow and net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio; the operating netback and DCET costs for wells in the Eagle Ford, Peace River, Lloydminster, Viking and East Duvernay; the percentage of Baytex’s net exposure to oil prices that is hedged for 2018 and 2019; for the Eagle Ford, expectations as to Northern Austin Chalk drilling activity for 2018; for the Viking, that extended reach horizontal wells will enhance returns, that in takes 20 days from well spud to production, the estimated field netback at US $70/bbl and for individual wells: the drill, complete and equip cost, expected 30-day IP rate and the estimated ultimate recovery; for Peace River and Lloydminster, plans to optimize operations in Q4/2018 and for individual wells: the drill, complete and equip cost, expected 30-day IP rate and the estimated ultimate recovery; for the Duvernay, the resource potential per section, that the infrastructure spending will be minimal and manageable, the drilling inventory and planned well completion activity for 2018; the sensitivity of our expected 2019 adjusted funds flow to changes in WTI prices, heavy oil differentials, natural gas prices and Canada-United States foreign exchange rates; and the percentage of Baytex’s net exposure to natural gas prices that is hedged for 2018 and 2019. In addition, information and statements relating to reserves are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in quantities predicted or estimated, and that they can be profitably produced in the future. These forward-looking statements are based on certain key assumptions regarding, among other things: the ability of Baytex to realize the anticipated benefits of the strategic combination with Raging River; petroleum and natural gas prices and differentials between light, medium and heavy oil prices; well production rates and reserve volumes; the ability to add production and reserves through exploration and development activities; capital expenditure levels; the ability to borrow under credit agreements; the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approvals for

  • perating activities; the availability and cost of labour and other industry services; interest and foreign exchange rates; the continuance of existing and, in certain circumstances, proposed tax and

royalty regimes; the ability to develop crude oil and natural gas properties in the manner currently contemplated; and current industry conditions, laws and regulations continuing in effect (or, where changes are proposed, such changes being adopted as anticipated). Readers are cautioned that such assumptions, although considered reasonable by Baytex at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. Baytex has disclosed certain expected details relating to Baytex's 2019 capital program and expected guidance; however, the board of directors of Baytex has not approved a budget for 2019 and as such the details relating to the 2019 capital program and guidance are intended only to illustrate Baytex's current expectations based on information and conditions known as of the date hereof. Baytex's actual 2019 capital budget once approved may differ from the details disclosed herein for a variety of reasons including as a result of any change in conditions and information known to Baytex prior to the date the 2019 budget is approved and/or as a result of Baytex's management and board of directors allocating capital differently than currently expected. The actual 2019 capital budget will impact the 2019 guidance provided herein as well. The actual 2019 capital program and the guidance set out herein may also differ from the expectations as set out herein due to the other risk factors identified herein.

Advisory (Cont.)

Actual results achieved will vary from the information provided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the volatility of oil and natural gas prices and price differentials; the availability and cost of capital or borrowing; that credit facilities may not provide sufficient liquidity or may not be renewed; failure to comply with the covenants in debt agreements; risks associated with a third-party operating our Eagle Ford properties; availability and cost of gathering, processing and pipeline systems; public perception and its influence on the regulatory regime; changes in government regulations that affect the oil and gas industry; changes in environmental, health and safety regulations; restrictions or costs imposed by climate change initiatives; variations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; risks associated with hedging activities; the cost of developing and operating assets; depletion of reserves; risks associated with the exploitation of properties and ability to acquire reserves; changes in income tax or other laws or government incentive programs; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; inability to fully insure against all risks; risks of counterparty default; risks associated with acquiring, developing and exploring for oil and natural gas and other aspects of operations; risks associated with large projects; risks related to thermal heavy oil projects; risks associated with use of information technology systems; risks associated with the ownership of Baytex, including changes in market-based factors; risks for United States and other non-resident shareholders, including the ability to enforce civil remedies, differing practices for reporting reserves and production, additional taxation applicable to non-residents and foreign exchange risk; and other factors, many of which are beyond control. These and additional risk factors are discussed in Baytex's Annual Information Form, Annual Report on Form 40-F and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking statements has been provided in order to provide shareholders and potential investors with a more complete perspective on Baytex’s current and future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. There is no representation by Baytex that actual results achieved will be the same in whole or in part as those referenced in the forward-looking statements and Baytex does not undertake any

  • bligation 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 Financial and Capital Management Measures This presentation contains certain financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and therefore are considered non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. “adjusted funds flow”, “bank EBITDA”, “debt adjusted production per share growth”, “free cash flow”, “net debt” and “operating netback” are not recognized measures under IFRS, but are presented in this presentation. “Adjusted funds flow” is defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash operating working capital and asset retirement obligations settled. Management of Baytex consider adjusted funds flow a key measure of performance as it demonstrates the combined entity’s ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund capital investments, debt repayment, settlement of abandonment obligations and potential future dividends. In addition, the ratio of net debt to adjusted funds flow is used to manage Baytex’s capital structure. “Debt adjusted production per share growth” is defined as growth in production over the period on a per share basis with the number of shares adjusted based on debt outstanding. Baytex’s 2019 debt adjusted production per share growth is calculated based on the forecast of 2019 production per debt-adjusted share divided by the combined production of Baytex and Raging River for Q2/2018 per debt-adjusted share as at closing of the transaction. Debt-adjusted share count is calculated as total shares outstanding plus incremental shares issued at current market price ($2.77) to eliminate net debt (i.e., full equitization of net debt). Management of Baytex believes that debt adjusted production per share growth is useful in determining the production growth on a per share basis as if all debt was extinguished by the issuance of shares. “Free cash flow” is defined as adjusted funds flow less sustaining capital. Sustaining capital is an estimate of the amount of exploration and development capital required to offset production declines on an annual basis and maintain flat production volumes.

“Net debt” is defined as the sum of monetary working capital (which is current liabilities (excluding current financial derivatives and onerous contracts)) and the principal amount of both the long-term notes

  • f Baytex and the bank loans of Baytex. Management of Baytex believe that net debt assists in providing a more complete understanding of Baytex’s cash liabilities.

“Operating netback” is defined as petroleum and natural gas sales less blending expense, royalties, production and operating expense and transportation expense divided by barrels of oil equivalent sales volume for the applicable period. Management of Baytex believe that operating netback assists in characterizing Baytex’s ability to generate cash margin on a unit of production basis.

Advisory (Cont.)

Advisory Regarding Oil and Gas Information The reserves information contained in this presentation has been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 -Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 51-101"). The determination of oil and gas reserves involves the preparation of estimates that have an inherent degree of associated uncertainty. Categories of proved and probable reserves have been established to reflect the level of these uncertainties and to provide an indication of the probability of recovery. The estimation and classification of reserves requires the application of professional judgment combined with geological and engineering knowledge to assess whether or not specific reserves classification criteria have been satisfied. Knowledge of concepts, including uncertainty and risk, probability and statistics, and deterministic and probabilistic estimation methods, is required to properly use and apply reserves definitions. The recovery and reserves estimates described herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves and future production from such reserves may be greater or less than the estimates provided herein. The estimates of reserves for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. For complete NI 51-101 reserves disclosure, please the Annual Information Forms for the year end December 31, 2017 for Baytex and Raging River respectively. This presentation discloses drilling inventory and potential drilling locations. Drilling inventory and drilling locations refers to Baytex’s total proved, probable and unbooked locations. Proved locations and probable locations account for drilling locations in our inventory that have associated proved and/or probable reserves. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on our prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves. Unbooked locations are farther away from existing wells and, therefore, there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty whether such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. In the Eagle Ford, Baytex’s net drilling locations include 187 proved, 69 probable and 263 unbooked locations. In the Viking, Baytex’s net drilling locations include 1,109 proved, 51 probable and 1,340 unbooked locations. In Peace River, Baytex’s net drilling locations include 73 proved, 91 probable and 204 unbooked

  • locations. In Lloydminster, Baytex’s net drilling locations include 213 proved, 47 probable and 690 unbooked locations. In the Duvernay, Baytex’s net drilling locations include 2 proved, 2 probable

and 746 unbooked locations. References herein to average 30-day initial production rates and other short-term production rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not determinative

  • f the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long term performance or of ultimate recovery. While encouraging, readers are cautioned

not to place reliance on such rates in calculating aggregate production for us or the assets for which such rates are provided. A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out in respect of all wells. Accordingly, we caution that the test results should be considered to be preliminary. Where applicable, oil equivalent amounts have been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. BOEs 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 is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not

represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Notice to United States Readers The petroleum and natural gas reserves contained in this presentation have generally been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States or other foreign disclosure standards. For example, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") requires oil and gas issuers, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only "proved reserves", but permits the optional disclosure of "probable reserves" and "possible reserves" (each as defined in SEC rules). Canadian securities laws require oil and gas issuers disclose their reserves in accordance with NI 51-101, which requires disclosure of not only "proved reserves" but also "probable reserves" and permits the optional disclosure of "possible reserves". Additionally, NI 51-101 defines "proved reserves", "probable reserves" and "possible reserves" differently from the SEC rules. Accordingly, proved, probable and possible reserves disclosed in this presentation may not be comparable to United States standards. Probable reserves are higher risk and are generally believed to be less likely to be accurately estimated or recovered than proved reserves. Possible reserves are higher risk than probable reserves and are generally believed to be less likely to be accurately estimated or recovered than probable reserves. In addition, under Canadian disclosure requirements and industry practice, reserves and production are reported using gross volumes, which are volumes prior to deduction of royalty and similar

  • payments. The SEC rules require reserves and production to be presented using net volumes, after deduction of applicable royalties and similar payments.

Moreover, in this presentation future net revenue from its reserves has been determined and disclosed estimated using forecast prices and costs, whereas the SEC rules require that reserves be estimated using a 12-month average price, calculated as the arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period. As a consequence of the foregoing, the reserve estimates and production volumes in this presentation may not be comparable to those made by companies utilizing United States reporting and disclosure standards. All amounts in this press release are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
