Management has included the above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking information provided in this press release in order to provide security holders with a more complete perspective on our future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect our operations or financial results are included in reports on file with applicable securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at sedarplus.ca In addition, statements relating to "reserves" are by their nature forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. The reserve estimates of Whitecap's reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation and we disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws. This presentation contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about: our forecast 2026 and 2027 capital expenditures, including the allocation to the unconventional and conventional divisions; our forecast of annualized production and average daily production for the fourth quarter of 2026 and 2027 and for the year 2027, including by product type and region; our forecast of 5% corporate production growth from Q4/26 to Q4/27 and 8% unconventional production growth to 265,000 boe/d; our forecast net debt to funds flow ratio; our forecast for funds flow for 2026 and 2027; the amount of our annual base dividend; the funds flow sensitivity to changes in WTI, a AECO and FX; the forecast for capital investments, funds flow, dividends and share repurchases and / or dividends at various WTI and AECO prices; the annual run-rate free cash flow at Kaybob, including the underlying commodity assumptions; our forecast 2027 funds flow and free funds flow at US$70/bbl, US$80/bbl and US$90/bbl WTI; the forecast of average daily production from near-term productive capacity, future growth projects (unconventional) and future upside potential (conventional); the forecast for 5 year production, cumulative funds flow and run-rate free funds flow at various WTI and AECO prices; the single well economics of certain assets including drill, complete, equip and tie-in costs and NPV (10%); and our forecasts for commodity prices and the CAD/USD exchange rate all of which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations, and qualifications as set forth in the above slides all of which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations, and qualifications as set forth in this document. The actual results of operations of Whitecap and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth herein and such variation may be material. Whitecap and its management team believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments. However, because this information is subjective and subject to numerous risks, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.

FOFI contained in this presentation was made as of the date of this presentation and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about Whitecap's anticipated future business operations. Readers are cautioned that the FOFI contained in this presentation should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein. Additionally, readers are advised that historical results, growth, acquisitions and dispositions described in this presentation may not be reflective of future results, growth, acquisitions and dispositions with respect to Whitecap. ADVISORIES Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Forward-Looking Information (continued) Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because Whitecap can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking information addresses future events and conditions, by its very nature it involves inherent risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to: the risk that the funds that we ultimately return to shareholders through dividends and/or share repurchases is less than currently anticipated and/or is delayed, whether due to the risks identified herein or otherwise; the risk that any of our material assumptions prove to be materially inaccurate, including our 2026 forecasts and 2027 budget and guidance (including for production levels, capital expenditure levels, commodity prices and exchange rates); the risk that (i) the tariffs that are currently in effect on goods exported from or imported into Canada continue in effect for an extended period of time, the tariffs that have been threatened are implemented, that tariffs that are currently suspended are reactivated, the rate or scope of tariffs are increased, or new tariffs are imposed, including on oil and natural gas, (ii) the U.S. and/or Canada imposes any other form of tax, restriction or prohibition on the import or export of products from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas, and (iii) the tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed by the U.S. on other countries and retaliatory tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed by other countries on the U.S., will trigger a broader global trade war which could have a material adverse effect on the Canadian, U.S. and global economies, and by extension the Canadian oil and natural gas industry and the Company including by decreasing demand for (and the price of) oil and natural gas, disrupting supply chains, increasing costs, causing volatility in global financial markets, and limiting access to financing; risks associated with the refusal of the U.S. to renew the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement ("CUSMA") at the July 1, 2026 joint review and the resulting annual joint reviews of CUSMA, including the risk that the U.S. ultimately withdraws from CUSMA, which could result in a significant increase in trade barriers, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on the Canadian and U.S. economies, and by extension the Canadian oil and natural gas industry and the Company; the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as operational risks in development, exploration and production, including the risk that weather events such as wildfires, flooding, droughts or extreme hot or cold temperatures forces us to shut-in production or otherwise adversely affects our operations; pandemics and epidemics; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to reserves, production, costs and expenses; risks associated with increasing costs, whether due to elevated inflation rates, elevated interest rates, supply chain disruptions or other factors; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations; interest rate fluctuations; inflation rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation risks; loss of markets; environmental risks; competition; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; failure to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or dispositions; the risk that going forward we may be unable to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources on acceptable terms or at all; failure to obtain required regulatory and other approvals; reliance on third parties and pipeline systems; changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, tariffs, import or export restrictions or prohibitions, production curtailment, royalties and environmental (including emissions and "greenwashing") regulations; the risk that we do not successfully defend against previously disclosed and ongoing reassessments received from the Canada Revenue Agency and assessments received from the Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration and are required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result; and the risk that the amount of future cash dividends paid by us and/or shares repurchased for cancellation by us (including pursuant to our normal course issuer bid ("NCIB")), if any, will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and may vary depending on a variety of factors and conditions existing from time to time, including, among other things, fluctuations in commodity prices, production levels, capital expenditure requirements, debt service requirements, operating costs, royalty burdens, foreign exchange rates, contractual restrictions contained in our debt agreements, and the satisfaction of the liquidity and solvency tests imposed by applicable corporate law for the declaration and payment of dividends and/or the repurchase of shares (including pursuant to the NCIB) – depending on these and various other factors as disclosed herein or otherwise, many of which will be beyond our control, our dividend policy and/or share buyback policy and, as a result, future cash dividends and/or share buybacks (including pursuant to the NCIB), could be reduced or suspended entirely.

40 ADVISORIES "DCE&T costs" includes all direct, on-lease costs of a typical well under pad development, including drill, completion, equip and tie-in and excludes ancillary costs such as lease construction, area trunk lines and processing facilities, water infrastructure and later-life artificial lift, that are carried separately on a case by case basis. "Payout" is calculated by the time period for the operating netback of a well to equate to the individual cost of the well. Management uses payout as a measure of capital efficiency of a well to make capital allocation decisions. "Profit to investment ratio" is calculated by dividing the NPV of a well by the individual well cost. NPV is a supplementary financial measure. Management uses profit to investment ratio to make capital allocation decisions. "Reserve life index" or "RLI" is calculated as total Company share reserves as at December 31, 2025 divided by the annualized fourth quarter 2025 production of 379,606 boe/d. Management uses these oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare our operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this presentation, should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes. Type Curve This presentation references certain type curves and well economics. Such type curves and well economics are useful in understanding management's assumptions of well performance in making investment decisions in relation to development drilling in certain areas and for determining the success of the performance of wells; however, such type curves and well economics are not necessarily determinative of the production rates and performance of existing and future wells and such type curves do not reflect the type curves used by Whitecap's independent qualified reserves evaluator in estimating Whitecap's reserves volumes. The type curves can differ as a result of varying horizontal well length, stage count and stage spacing. The type curves represent the average type curves expected. Barrel of Oil Equivalency "Boe" means barrel of oil equivalent. All boe conversions in this presentation are derived by converting gas to oil at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas to one barrel ("Bbl") of oil. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion rate of 1 Bbl : 6 Mcf 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 of oil compared to natural gas based on currently prevailing prices is significantly different than the energy equivalency ratio of 1 Bbl : 6 Mcf, utilizing a conversion ratio of 1 Bbl : 6 Mcf may be misleading as an indication of value. Oil and Gas Advisory Reserves All reserve references in this presentation are "Company share reserves". Company share reserves are our total working interest reserves before the deduction of any royalties and without including any royalty interests payable to the Company. The proved and probable reserves disclosed in this presentation are derived from McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd.'s reserves evaluation effective December 31, 2025, which were each evaluated or audited in accordance with the COGE Handbook (as defined below). See the annual information form of Whitecap in respect of the financial year ended December 31, 2025 dated February 23, 2026 for the applicable pricing forecasts. It should not be assumed that the present worth of estimated future amounts presented represents the fair market value of the reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast prices and costs assumptions will be attained, and variances could be material. The recovery and reserve estimates of the crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. Certain terms used herein but not defined are in National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101"), CSA Staff Notice 51-324 – Revised Glossary to NI 51-101 Standards for Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("CSA Staff Notice 51-324") and/or the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation ("COGE") Handbook and, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the same meanings herein as in NI 51-101, CSA Staff Notice 51-324 and the COGE Handbook, as the case may be. OOIP Original Oil-In-Place ("OOIP") contained herein is equivalent to Total Oil Initially-In-Place ("TOIIP") and has been estimated as of December 31, 2025. TOIIP, as defined in the COGE Handbook, is that quantity of oil that is estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of oil that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered. A portion of the TOIIP is considered undiscovered and there is no certainty that any portion of such undiscovered resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of such undiscovered resources. With respect to the portion of the TOIIP that is considered discovered resources, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of such discovered resources. A significant portion of the estimated volumes of TOIIP will never be recovered. "Decline rate" is the reduction in the rate of production from one period to the next, expressed on an annual basis. Management of Whitecap uses decline rate to assess future productivity of Whitecap's and the company's assets. This presentation contains metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry which have been prepared by management, such as "DCE&T Cost", "payout", "profit to investment ratio" and "RLI". These terms do not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, and therefore should not be used to make such comparisons.

41 ADVISORIES NI 51-101 includes condensate and pentane within the NGLs product type. Whitecap has disclosed condensate and pentane as combined with crude oil and separately from other natural gas liquids since the price of condensate and pentane as compared to other natural gas liquids is currently significantly higher and Whitecap believes that this crude oil and condensate presentation provides a more accurate description of its operations and results therefrom. Crude oil and condensate therefore refers to light oil, medium oil, tight oil, condensate and pentane. NGLs refers to ethane, propane and butane combined. Natural gas refers to conventional natural gas and shale gas combined. Any reference in this presentation to initial production rates (IP(90)) are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue production and decline thereafter. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for Whitecap. The Company's average production disclosed in this presentation consist of the following product types, as defined in NI 51 -101 (other than as noted above with respect to condensate and pentane) and using a conversion ratio of 1 Bbl : 6 Mcf where applicable: Gross (Net) Total Drilling Inventory Proved Locations Probable Locations Unbooked Locations Montney & Duvernay 4,669 (4,415) 717 (700) 263 (257) 3,689 (3,458) Conventional 5,812 (5,139) 1,539 (1,386) 469 (424) 3,804 (3,329) Drilling Locations This presentation discloses drilling inventory in two categories: (i) booked locations (proved and probable); and (ii) unbooked locations. Booked locations represent the summation of proved and probable locations, which are derived from McDaniel's reserves evaluation effective December 31, 2025 and account for drilling locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. 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 or resources. Unbooked locations consist of drilling locations that have been identified by management as an estimation of our multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that we will drill all of these drilling locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The drilling locations on which we drill wells will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The following table provides a breakdown of the current Whitecap gross (net) drilling locations included in this presentation: Production, Initial Production Rates & Product Type Information References to petroleum, crude oil and condensate, NGLs, natural gas and average daily production in this presentation refer to the light and medium crude oil, tight crude oil, conventional natural gas, shale gas and NGLs product types, as applicable, as defined in NI 51-101, except as noted below.

42 ADVISORIES Specified Financial Measures This presentation includes various specified financial measures, including non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures as further described herein. These financial measures are not standardized financial measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards" or, alternatively, "GAAP") and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. "Enterprise value" is a supplementary financial measure and is calculated as market capitalization plus net debt. Management believes that enterprise value provides a useful measure of the market value of the combined company's debt and equity. Market capitalization is a supplementary financial measure. "Free funds flow" is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as funds flow less expenditures on property, plant and equipment ("PP&E"). Management believes that free funds flow provides a useful measure of the combined company's ability to increase returns to shareholders and to grow the combined company's business. Free funds flow is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS Accounting Standards and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar financial measures disclosed by other entities. The most directly comparable financial measure to free funds flow disclosed in the combined company's primary financial statements is cash flow from operating activities. Refer to the "Cash Flow from Operating Activities, Funds Flow and Free Funds Flow" section of Whitecap's management's discussion and analysis for the 3 and 9 months ended September 30, 2026 which is incorporated herein by reference, and available on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca. "Funds flow", "funds flow basic ($/share)" and "funds flow diluted ($/share)" are capital management measures and are key measures of operating performance as they demonstrate the combined company's ability to generate the cash necessary to pay dividends, repay debt, make capital investments, and/or to repurchase common shares under Whitecap's normal course issuer bid. Management believes that by excluding the temporary impact of changes in non-cash operating working capital, funds flow, funds flow basic ($/share) and funds flow diluted ($/share) provide useful measures of the combined company's ability to generate cash that are not subject to short-term movements in non-cash operating working capital. Whitecap reports funds flow in total and on a per share basis (basic and diluted), which is calculated by dividing funds flow by the weighted average number of basic shares and weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the relevant period. Refer to the "Cash Flow from Operating Activities, Funds Flow and Free Funds Flow" section of Whitecap's management's discussion and analysis for the 3 and 9 months ended September 30, 2026 which is incorporated herein by reference, and available on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca. "Market capitalization" is a supplementary financial measure and is calculated as the current share price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period. Management believes that market capitalization provides a useful measure of the market value of Whitecap's equity. "Net Debt" is a capital management measure that management considers to be key to assessing the combined company's liquidity. Refer to Note (2) in the "Summary of Quarterly Results" section of Whitecap's management's discussion and analysis for the 3 and 9 months ended September 30, 2026 which is incorporated herein by reference, and available on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca. "Net Debt to annualized funds flow ratio" is a supplementary financial measure determined by dividing net debt for the applicable period by annualized funds flow. Net debt to annualized funds flow is not a standardized measure and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities. "Net Debt to Funds Flow" is a supplementary financial measure determined by dividing net debt by funds flow. Net debt to funds flow is not a standardized measure and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities. "NPV" (10% discount rate) is a supplementary financial measure comprised of the before tax NPV for 2P reserves, discounted at 10%, as determined in accordance with NI 51-101. "Operating netback" is a non-GAAP financial measure determined by adding marketing revenues and processing & other income, deducting realized losses on commodity risk management contracts or adding realized gains on commodity risk management contracts and deducting tariffs, royalties, operating expenses, transportation expenses and marketing expenses from petroleum and natural gas revenues. The most directly comparable financial measure to operating netback disclosed in the Company's primary financial statements is petroleum and natural gas sales. Operating netback is a measure used in operational and capital allocation decisions. Operating netback is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS Accounting Standards and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar financial measures disclosed by other entities. For further information, refer to the "Operating Netbacks" section of our management's discussion and analysis for the 3 and 9 months ended September 30, 2026, which is incorporated herein by reference, and available on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca. "Per boe" or "($/boe)" disclosures for petroleum and natural gas sales, royalties, operating expenses, transportation expenses and marketing expenses are supplementary financial measures that are calculated by dividing each of these respective GAAP measures by the Company's total production volumes for the period. "Payout ratio" is a supplementary financial measure calculated as dividends paid or declared divided by funds flow. Management believes that payout ratio provides a useful measure of Whitecap's dividend policy, as a percentage of the amount of funds flow. "Total Shareholder Return" is a supplementary financial measure calculated as the sum of the annual base dividend and NCIB yield, per share production growth, and change in net debt expressed on a per share basis. Management believes that total shareholder return provides a useful measure of the return characteristics of various capital allocation decisions. See the related sections in Whitecap's management's discussion and analysis for the 3 and 9 months ended September 30, 2026, which is incorporated herein by reference, and available on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca for free funds flow, net debt and operating netback reconciliation tables. Per Share Amounts Per share amounts noted in this presentation are based on fully diluted shares outstanding unless noted otherwise.

Any decision to pay dividends on Whitecap's shares (including the actual amount, the declaration date, the record date and the payment date in connection therewith and any special dividends) will be subject to the discretion of Whitecap's Board of Directors and may depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, Whitecap's business performance, financial condition, financial requirements, growth plans, expected capital requirements, tariffs affecting the export of crude oil and natural gas to the U.S., and other conditions existing at such future time including, without limitation, contractual restrictions and satisfaction of the solvency tests imposed on Whitecap under applicable corporate law.
