Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. Closes Previously Announced Sale of Charlie Lake AssetsJune 16, 2026 5:00 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) TSX: TVECALGARY, AB, June 16, 2026 /CNW/ - Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. has successfully closed the previously announced sale of its Charlie Lake assets for cash consideration of $804.0 million, before closing adjustments (the "Transaction"). Following the prompt receipt of regulatory approvals, Tamarack and the counterparty completed the Transaction two weeks ahead of expectations. The Transaction has eliminated Tamarack's net debt(1) with a portion of the net proceeds initially being utilized to repay amounts drawn under the credit facility. The net proceeds will also support the acceleration of growth and waterflood development activities in the Clearwater. The Company expects to exit the second quarter of 2026 in a net cash(1) position of greater than $125 million and available funding(1) of $1.3 billion, including cash on hand of over $400 million and undrawn credit facility capacity of $875.0 million.Tamarack is now a pure-play Clearwater producer generating approximately 54,000 boe per day (92% liquids) of low-cost, high-margin production, holding an extensive inventory of primary drilling and waterflood expansion opportunities in the Clearwater fairway. Together with a strong balance sheet, low corporate decline rate(2) and low free funds flow breakeven cost(1), the Company has significant capital allocation flexibility to support higher total shareholder returns across commodity price cycles through a combination of accelerated growth, an enhanced dividend and share buybacks.Production Guidance
The Transaction carried an effective date of April 1, 2026, with operating results from the Charlie Lake assets between the effective date and the closing date adjusting the purchase price. For financial reporting, the Company's consolidated production and operating results include the Charlie Lake assets up to the closing date. As a result of the accelerated closing date, Charlie Lake production has been crystallized at ~8,000 boe per day for 2026. Tamarack's 2026 Clearwater production guidance remains unchanged:Production(2) (boe/d)For the year ended December 31, 2026Original guidance(Dec. 3, 2025)Revised guidance(May 27, 2026)Revised guidance(June 16, 2026)Clearwater

Selected financial and operating information should be read with Tamarack's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2026, which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on Tamarack's website at www.tamarackvalley.ca.Notes to News ReleaseSee "Specified Financial Measures".See "Disclosure of Oil and Gas Information".Disclosure of Oil and Gas InformationUnits of measurement
For the purpose of calculating unit costs, natural gas volumes have been converted to a boe using six thousand cubic feet equal to one barrel unless otherwise stated. A boe conversion ratio of 6:1 is based upon an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. This conversion conforms with Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 51 101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.Corporate decline rate  
The news release contains metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as corporate decline rate. "Corporate decline rate" represents the percentage decline of the Company's production base, excluding the production from new wells drilled in the year. Corporate decline rate is not a financial measure and does not have a standardized meaning under NI 51-101. This term has been calculated by management and does 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. Management uses this oil and gas metric for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with a measure to compare Tamarack's operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics should not be relied upon for investment purposes. Tamarack's corporate decline rate is based on primary and waterflood type curves that are internally estimated by the Company's management and represents estimates of the production decline and ultimate volumes expected to be recovered from wells over the life of the well. The type curves represent what management believes an average well will achieve, based on methodology that is analogous to wells with similar geological features. Individual wells may be higher or lower but over a larger number of wells, management expects the average to come out to the type curve. Over time type curves can and will change based on achieving more production history on older wells or more recent completion information on newer wells. Such type curves are useful in understanding management's assumptions of well performance in making investment decisions in relation to development drilling in such areas and for determining the success of the performance of development wells. However, internally prepared type curves do not reflect the type curves used by our independent qualified reserves evaluator in estimating Tamarack's reserves volumes and such type curves have not been assigned reserves or resources. There is no certainty that Tamarack will ultimately recover the internal type curve volumes from the wells it drills. Actual results may vary materially from both primary and waterflood incremental curve estimates.Product Types
References in this news release to "crude oil" or "oil" refer to light, medium and heavy crude oil product types as defined by NI 51-101. References to "NGL" throughout this news release comprise pentane, butane, propane, and ethane, being all NGL as defined by NI 51-101. References to "natural gas" throughout this news release refer to conventional natural gas as defined by NI 51-101. Clearwater production volumes on a standalone total boe per day basis are comprised of approximately 91% heavy oil, 1% NGLs and 8% natural gas. The Charlie Lake production volumes referenced in this news release on a boe per day basis is comprised of approximately 55% light oil, 12% NGLs and 33% natural gas.Forward Looking Information
This news release contains certain forward-looking information (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "budget", "guidance", "outlook", "anticipate", "target", "plan", "continue", "intend", "consider", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "should", "could" or similar words (including negatives or grammatical variations) suggesting future outcomes. More particularly, this news release contains statements concerning: Tamarack's business strategy, objectives, strength and focus; use of proceeds from the Transaction, including the elimination of the Company's net debt and supporting primary and secondary development activities; expected pro forma net cash position, available liquidity, available funding and cash on hand following the Transaction; the divestiture providing enhanced capital allocation flexibility to support shareholder returns; updated 2026 FY production guidance; expected impact of the accelerated closing date on FY 2026 operating results; expectations of standalone Clearwater production following the sale; expectations of significant capital allocation flexibility to support higher total shareholder returns across commodity price cycles through a combination of accelerated growth, an enhanced dividend and share buybacks. Future dividend payments and share buybacks, if any, and the level thereof, are uncertain, as the Company's return of capital framework and the funds available for such activities from time to time is dependent upon, among other things, free funds flow financial requirements for the Company's operations and the execution of its strategy, fluctuations in working capital and the timing and amount of capital expenditures, debt service requirements and other factors beyond the Company's control. Further, the ability of Tamarack to pay dividends and buyback shares will be subject to applicable laws (including the satisfaction of the solvency test contained in applicable corporate legislation) and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing its indebtedness, including its credit facility.The forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Tamarack, including those relating to: business plan of Tamarack; execution of the Company's 2026 budget; the timing of and success of future drilling, conversion, development and completion activities; the geological characteristics of Tamarack's properties; prevailing commodity prices, price volatility, price differentials and the actual prices received for the Company's products; the realization of anticipated benefits of the Company's infrastructure, waterflood development program and recent acquisitions and divestitures; the availability and performance of drilling rigs, facilities, pipelines and other oilfield services; the timing of past operations and activities in the planned areas of focus; the performance of new and existing wells; the application of existing drilling and fracturing techniques; the Company's ability to secure sufficient amounts of water; prevailing weather and break-up conditions; royalty regimes and exchange rates; impact of inflation on costs; the application of regulatory and licensing requirements; the continued availability of capital and skilled personnel; the ability to maintain or grow the banking facilities; the accuracy of Tamarack's geological interpretation of its drilling and land opportunities, including the ability of seismic activity to enhance such interpretation; and Tamarack's ability to execute its plans and strategies.Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Tamarack can give no assurances that they may prove to be correct. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) that could cause actual events or outcomes to differ materially from those anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the risk that the Company utilizes the proceeds from the Transaction other than in the manners described in this news release; risks with respect to unplanned third party pipeline outages and risks relating to inclement and severe weather events and natural disasters, such as fire, drought and flooding, including in respect of safety, asset integrity and shutting-in production; the risk that future dividend payments thereunder are reduced, suspended or cancelled; incorrect assessments of the value of benefits to be obtained from exploration and development programs; risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g. operational risks in development, exploration and production; and delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures); the risk that (i) the U.S. and Canadian governments maintain tariffs, increase the rate or scope of tariffs, or impose new tariffs on the import of goods from one country to the other, 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 by the U.S. on other countries and responses thereto 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; commodity prices, including the impact of the actions of OPEC and OPEC+ members; risks relating to reliance on third parties; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, cash generation, costs and expenses, including increased operating and capital costs due to inflationary pressures; health, safety, litigation and environmental risks; access to capital; and pandemics. In addition, ongoing military actions in Venezuela, Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine have the potential to threaten the supply of oil and gas from those regions. The long-term impacts of the actions between these nations remains uncertain. Due to the nature of the oil and natural gas industry, drilling plans and operational activities may be delayed or modified to respond to market conditions, results of past operations, regulatory approvals or availability of services causing results to be delayed. Please refer to the most recent annual information form and management's discussion and analysis of the Company, for additional risk factors relating to Tamarack, which can be accessed either on Tamarack's website at www.tamarackvalley.ca or under the Company's profile on www.sedarplus.ca. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included statements, except as required by law. The forward-looking statements contained herein are qualified by this cautionary statement.This news release contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about generating sustainable long-term growth in free funds flow, dividends, share buybacks and debt reduction, the revised 2026 production guidance, pro forma net cash position, available funding and available liquidity, and pro forma standalone Clearwater production, all of which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the above paragraphs. FOFI contained in this document was approved by management as of the date of this document and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about Tamarack's future business operations. Tamarack and its management believe that FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments, and represent, to the best of management's knowledge and opinion, the Company's expected course of action. However, because this information is highly subjective, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results. Tamarack disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law. Readers are cautioned that the FOFI contained in this document should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein. Changes in commodity prices, differences in the timing and allocation of capital expenditures, and variances in average production estimates can have a significant impact on the key performance measures included in Tamarack's guidance. Actual results may differ from these estimates.Specified Financial Measures
This news release includes various specified financial measures, including non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS financial ratios, capital management measures and supplemental financial measures as further described herein. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other companies.Adjusted funds flow (capital management measure) is defined as cash provided by operating activities excluding asset retirement obligation expenditures, transaction costs and changes in non-cash working capital. Asset retirement obligation expenditures and transactions costs from business combinations both result from the Company's capital budgeting and strategic planning processes, which first considers available adjusted funds flow. Asset retirement obligation expenditures vary from period to period depending on capital programs, government regulations and the maturity of the Company's operating areas. By also excluding changes in non-cash working capital from cash provided by operating activities, the adjusted funds flow measure provides a meaningful metric for Tamarack and others by establishing a clear link between the Company's cash flows, income statement and operating netbacks by isolating the impact of changes in the timing between accrual and cash settlement dates, which can often be within management's control. Tamarack uses adjusted funds flow to assess the Company's financial performance and cash generated from operating activities.Free funds flow (capital management measure) is defined as adjusted funds flow less investments in oil and natural gas assets (excluding acquisitions and dispositions) and the settlement of asset retirement obligations. Management utilizes free funds flow to assess how much cash was generated in excess of Tamarack's capital investment and asset retirement programs in the same period, which can be utilized to reduce debt, fund acquisitions or return capital.Available funding (capital management measure) is calculated as the sum of undrawn credit capacity under the Company's credit facility and cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, cross-currency swap liability (asset), assets held for sale (net), accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Tamarack and others utilize available funding to assess the amount of funds that could be available to the Company in the near term to fund capital management initiatives.Net debt (cash) (capital management measure) is calculated as the sum of the Company's debt, government loans and other, cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, cross-currency swap liability (asset), assets held for sale (net), accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Tamarack and others utilize net debt to assess liquidity and balance sheet strength by aggregating the select financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet.Sustaining capital (supplementary financial measure) represents management's estimate of annual capital investments required to maintain corporate production at prior period levels. This measure allows Management and others to assess the approximate composition of Tamarack's annual capital investment programs and its corporate financial sustainability. Sustaining capital is also utilized to calculate the Company's free funds flow breakeven cost.Free funds flow breakeven cost (capital management measure) reflects the average minimum WTI price (US per bbl) received by Tamarack where adjusted funds flow net of the base dividend and sustaining capital requirements is approximately equivalent to zero, with sustained current hedged production levels and all other variables held constant. Management believes that free funds flow breakeven provides a useful measure to establish corporate sustainability. Please refer to the management's discussion and analysis for additional information relating to specified financial measures including non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS financial ratios and capital management measures.

Original: Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. Closes Previously Announced Sale of Charlie Lake Assets

Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. Announces Sale of Charlie Lake Assets, Transition to Pure Play Clearwater Producer and 25% Dividend IncreaseMay 27, 2026 9:25 PM
PR Newswire (Canada) TSX: TVECALGARY, AB, May 27, 2026 /CNW/ - Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. is pleased to announce it has entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with an arm's-length counterparty to sell its Charlie Lake assets for cash consideration of $804.0 million, before closing adjustments (the "Transaction"). Net proceeds from the divestiture will initially be directed to eliminate Tamarack's net debt(1) and will support primary and secondary development activities across Tamarack's Clearwater fairway driving accelerated production growth. Upon completion of the Transaction, Tamarack will become a pure play Clearwater producer with a strengthened balance sheet, including a net cash(1) position of >$125 million and $1.3 billion of available funding(1), providing for enhanced capital allocation flexibility to support higher total shareholder value. In connection with the Transaction, Tamarack is pleased to announce a 25% increase to its quarterly dividend from $0.04/share to $0.05/share ($0.20/share annualized) which will commence in the third quarter of 2026.The Transaction has an effective date of April 1, 2026 and is expected to close near the end of the second quarter, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.HighlightsPortfolio Optimization & Long-Term Accretion – Crystallizes a strong cash return on invested capital(1) of >70% (pre-tax) for the Charlie Lake assets since 2021. Tamarack's go-forward Clearwater focused strategy is expected to drive meaningful accretion of debt-adjusted free funds flow per share in its five-year plan by enhancing corporate profitability through higher margin barrels, lower corporate decline rates and lower reinvestment requirements.Enhanced Total Return to Shareholders & Dividend Increase – The Transaction creates further capital allocation optionality to maximize total returns to shareholders(1) through accelerated growth in the Clearwater, an enhanced dividend and share buybacks.Clearwater Focus & Development Acceleration – Tamarack plans to invest an additional ~$75 million in the Clearwater in H2 2026 to accelerate primary and secondary development activities representing a 10% increase to full-year capital investment guidance. Capital deployment is expected to result in 15% year-over-year production growth within Clearwater properties.Pro-Forma Cash Position With Significant Liquidity – Net proceeds from the divestiture will initially be directed to eliminate Tamarack's net debt(1). The Company expects to exit the second quarter of 2026 in a net cash(1) position of >$125 million and available funding(1) of $1.3 billion, including cash on hand of >$400 million and undrawn credit facility capacity of $875.0 million. Tamarack has secured commitments from its lending syndicate to maintain the existing capacity and extend the facility maturity date by two years to May 29, 2030 (four-year term).Portfolio OptimizationTamarack has successfully completed a multi-year transition into a pure-play Clearwater producer. Over the past three years, consistent operational outperformance in the Clearwater has enabled the Company to reposition its portfolio toward higher-margin, longer-duration assets with stronger capital efficiencies and lower sustaining capital requirements. The divestiture of the Charlie Lake assets represents the next step in that strategy.The Transaction allows Tamarack to crystallize significant value for shorter-duration assets while further concentrating capital toward the Company's highest-return opportunities in the Clearwater fairway by accelerating the replacement of divested production volumes through highly economic primary development and waterflood expansion. Within the Company's five-year plan, Tamarack expects to replace more than the disposed Charlie Lake volumes with higher margin Clearwater barrels. As the waterflood development expands, the Company also expects to further enhance recovery factors, reduce corporate decline rates and improve long-term capital efficiency.Tamarack has assembled one of the largest Clearwater land positions, with more than 900 sections of land and an estimated inventory of over 2,100 drilling locations(2). Tamarack land holdings are estimated to contain 12 billion barrels of original oil in place(2) in the Clearwater formation and at the end of Tamarack's forward-looking five-year plan, the Company expects to have produced less than 2% of that oil. The Company believes its extensive drilling inventory, combined with continued waterflood expansion and exploration upside at Seal and Pelican Lake, provides decades of high-quality development runway.Currently, approximately 26% of Clearwater production and 37% of Clearwater PDP reserves are under waterflood, with the Company targeting continued expansion through its accelerated 2026 development program. Tamarack expects these initiatives to further strengthen asset durability, free funds flow(1) resiliency and long-term shareholder returns across commodity price cycles.Charlie Lake DivestitureTamarack is divesting of its Charlie Lake assets for cash consideration of $804.0 million before closing adjustments. The Transaction has an effective date of April 1, 2026 and is expected to close near the end of the second quarter, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The Charlie Lake assets currently produce approximately 18,000 boe per day (67% liquids) and represent ~26% of Tamarack's corporate production. The Transaction reflects a strong cash return on invested capital(1) of >70% for the Charlie Lake assets since 2021.Pure-Play Clearwater OutlookThe Charlie Lake divestiture is expected to strengthen numerous profitability metrics in the business, including:Field operating netbacks(1) are expected to improve by $2-$4 per boe, depending on commodity prices, primarily due to a higher liquids weighting and lower net operating expenses(1) on a per barrel basis in the Clearwater.Corporate decline rates(2) are expected to improve by 4% and the corporate sustaining capital(1) requirements are expected to decline by more than 25% to less than $200 million.For 2026, the Company's pro forma free funds flow breakeven cost(1) is expected to decline by US$2 per barrel (unhedged) to US$38 per barrel WTI, inclusive of the upsized dividend. On a hedged basis, the free funds flow breakeven cost is expected to decline by US$7 per barrel to US$28 per barrel WTI.In 2025, the finding and development costs(2) of the Clearwater assets were approximately half that of the Charlie Lake. Together with a >6x recycle ratio(2), the Clearwater provides Tamarack with superior per barrel profit margins and lower sustaining capital(1) reinvestment requirements.Following the sale, Tamarack is expected to carry forward pro forma standalone Clearwater production of >54,000 boe per day (92% liquids) and 208 MMBoe of total proved and probable reserves(2).2026 OutlookFor the year ended December 31, 2026Original guidance(Dec. 3, 2025)Revised guidance(May 27, 2026)Capital program ($ millions)

Tamarack is expanding the capital program in the Clearwater fairway by ~$75 million with ~40% of the expansion dedicated towards secondary waterflood recovery. The Company now expects to exit 2026 with water injection rates of 70,000 bbl per day, a 16% increase over the original budget and have over 38% of Clearwater oil production under waterflood. The Company remains nimble and has the ability to further flex the 2026 capital program if the current commodity price strength remains.As a result of the Transaction, Tamarack expects run-rate net operating expenses(1) to decline by approximately 14% to ~$6.00 per boe. Interest expense is also expected to decline following the anticipated repayment of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility using a portion of the divestiture proceeds. General and administrative expense on a per boe basis is expected to increase modestly due to lower average production volumes for the year, while income taxes are expected to increase primarily as a result of taxes associated with the divestiture and higher assumed commodity prices.The Company remains opportunistic with significant optionality and balance sheet strength to pursue and maximize the total return to shareholders(1) across commodity price cycles. In the near-term, the Company expects to continue executing a disciplined capital management strategy targeting a balanced allocation of accelerated growth in the Clearwater and enhanced shareholder returns in the form of dividends and share buybacks. Commencing in the third quarter of 2026, the Company is announcing a 25% increase to its quarterly dividend from $0.04/share to $0.05/share ($0.20/share annualized).Credit Facility Renewal and ExtensionTamarack has access to a covenant-based $875 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders that was maturing on April 30, 2028. The Company also has the ability to access an incremental $125 million of secured debt, subject to certain conditions, including approvals from the lending syndicate. In conjunction with the Charlie Lake divestiture, Tamarack has secured commitments from its lending syndicate to maintain the existing capacity and extend the facility maturity date by two years to May 29, 2030 (four-year term). The revised indenture also includes a partial easing of certain covenants and restrictions in line with the Company's improved credit profile and market comparables. Following the sale, Tamarack is expecting to exit the second quarter of 2026 with available funding of more than $1.3 billion, including cash on hand of >$400 million and the undrawn credit facility.The sale of the Charlie Lake assets is not expected to impact the Company's current corporate credit rating as issued by S&P (Corporate: B+, senior unsecured notes: BB-).Investor Call & Letter to ShareholdersTamarack will host a webcast at 8:30 AM MDT (10:30 AM EDT) on Thursday May 28, 2026, to discuss the Charlie Lake divestiture. Tamarack has also published a Letter to Shareholders which further discusses Tamarack's strategic thinking. Participants can access the live webcast and Letter to Shareholders through links provided on the Company's website.

Revised corporate production guidance on a total boe per day basis is comprised of approximately ~79% heavy oil, ~8% light oil, ~2% NGL and ~11% natural gas.Annual Information FormTamarack's Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information on Form 51-101F1 dated effective as at December 31, 2025, which includes further disclosure of Tamarack's oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with NI 51-101 and COGEH forming the basis of the news release, is included in the Annual Information Form which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or the Company's website at www.tamarackvalley.ca.Reserves and Future Net Revenue DisclosuresAll reserves values, future net revenue and ancillary information contained in the news release are derived from the Reserve Reports unless otherwise noted. All reserve references in the news release are "Company Gross Reserves". Company Gross reserves defined as working interest share of reserves prior to royalty deductions. Estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same level of confidence as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effect of aggregation. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions applied by McDaniel in evaluating Tamarack's reserves will be attained and variances could be material. All reserves assigned in the Reserve Reports are located in the Province of Alberta.All evaluations and summaries of future net revenue are stated prior to the provision for interest, debt service charges or general and administrative expenses and after deduction of royalties, operating costs, estimated well abandonment and reclamation costs and estimated future capital expenditures. It should not be assumed that the estimates of future net revenues presented in the tables below represent the fair market value of the reserves. The recovery and reserve estimates of 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. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of crude oil, reserves and the future cash flows attributed to such reserves. The reserve and associated cash flow information set forth herein are estimates only.Proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. Proved developed producing reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty. Undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (e.g., when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves category (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned. Certain terms used in the news release but not defined are defined in NI 51-101, CSA Staff Notice 51-324 – Revised Glossary to NI 51-101 ("CSA Staff Notice 51-324") and/or the COGEH and, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the same meanings herein as in NI 51-101, CSA Staff Notice 51-324 and the COGEH, as the case may be.Resources disclosure Tamarack's heavy oil Clearwater contingent resource and prospective resource estimates contained herein were derived from the Resource Report prepared by McDaniel, a qualified independent resource evaluator, effective as of December 31, 2025, in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in NI 51-101 and COGEH. The contingent and prospective resources estimate of Tamarack's Clearwater heavy oil contingent resources provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated prospective and contingent resources will be recovered. Actual resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein and the differences may be material. Tamarack's Statement of Contingent and Prospective Resources dated February 24, 2026, which has been filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, includes further disclosure of Tamarack's contingent and prospective resources, including the risks and uncertainties related thereto. Contingent resources are defined as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as "contingent resources" the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early project stage. Contingent resources are further classified in accordance with the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status. Prospective resources are those quantities of heavy oil estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates, assuming their discovery and development, and may be subclassified based on project maturity. Estimates of prospective resources have not been adjusted for risk based on the chance of discovery or the chance of development. Resources are classified according to degree of certainty associated with those estimates. In the news release, "best estimate" classification is used which is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity of resources that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. Those resources identified as best estimate have a 50 percent probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.The news release may disclose Clearwater drilling locations in two categories: (i) booked locations; and (ii) unbooked locations. Booked locations are proved and probable locations derived from the McDaniel Reserve Report prepared in accordance with NI 51-101 and the most recent publication of the COGE Handbook. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves. However, the unbooked Clearwater locations have attributed contingent or prospective resources, based on the Resource Report. Of the Clearwater inventory of 2,133 (net) drilling locations identified herein, 520 (net) are proved or probable locations, and 1,613 (net) are unbooked locations. Unbooked locations have been identified by management as an estimation of the Company's multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the Company will drill all unbooked 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 the Company actually drills 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, the majority of 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.Original oil in placeThe term "original oil in place" or OOIP is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to originally exist in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum 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 OOIP 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 OOIP 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 OOIP will never be recovered. OOIP disclosed herein in respect of the Company's Clearwater assets by area and in aggregate was internally estimated by the Company's management. There is no certainty management's OOIP estimates were prepared in accordance with the COGE Handbook. The estimates may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and therefore should not be used to make such comparisons.Definition of Reserves MetricsThe news release contains metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as development capital, F&D costs, FD&A costs and recycle ratio. "Development capital" means the aggregate exploration and development costs incurred in the financial year on reserves that are categorized as development. Development capital presented herein excludes land and capitalized administration costs but includes the cost of acquisitions and capital associated with acquisitions where reserve additions are attributed to the acquisitions."Finding and development costs" or "F&D costs" are calculated as the sum of field capital plus the change in FDC for the period divided by the change in reserves that are characterized as development for the period and "finding, development and acquisition costs" are calculated as the sum of field capital plus acquisition capital plus the change in FDC for the period divided by the change in total reserves, other than from production, for the period. Both finding and development costs and finding development and acquisition costs take into account reserves revisions during the year on a per boe basis. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the financial year and changes during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserves additions for that year. Finding and development costs both including and excluding acquisitions and dispositions have been presented in the news release because acquisitions and dispositions can have a significant impact on Tamarack's ongoing reserves replacements costs and excluding these amounts could result in an inaccurate portrayal of the Company's cost structure. "Finding, development and acquisition costs" or "FD&A costs" incorporate the change in FDC required to bring proved undeveloped and developed reserves into production. In all cases, the FD&A number is calculated by dividing the identified capital expenditures by the applicable reserves additions after changes in FDC costs. The Clearwater F&D metric reported in the news release includes a proportionate share of general and administrative costs based on the TPP reserve volume weighting of 74% (% of total TPP reserves)."Recycle ratio" is measured by dividing the operating netback for the applicable period by F&D cost per boe for the year. The recycle ratio compares netback from existing reserves to the cost of finding new reserves and may not accurately indicate the investment success unless the replacement reserves are of equivalent quality as the produced reserves.These terms have been calculated by management and 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. Management uses these oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare Tamarack's operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in the news release, should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes.Forward Looking InformationThis news release contains certain forward-looking information (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "budget", "guidance", "outlook", "anticipate", "target", "plan", "continue", "intend", "consider", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "should", "could" or similar words (including negatives or grammatical variations) suggesting future outcomes. More particularly, this news release contains statements concerning: Tamarack's business strategy, objectives, strength and focus; the Company's exploration and development plans and strategies; use of proceeds from the Transaction, including the elimination of the Company's net debt position; the Transaction strengthening the balance sheet and providing meaningful accretion of debt-adjusted free funds flow per share across Tamarack's five-year plan and enhancing profitability; the Company's transition to a pure-play Clearwater producer upon completion of the Transaction; expected pro forma net cash position, available liquidity, available funding and cash on hand following the Transaction; the divestiture providing enhanced capital allocation flexibility to support shareholder returns; the announced dividend increase and commencement thereof in the third quarter of 2026; the Company's disciplined capital management strategy, including the balanced allocation of accelerated growth, dividends and share buybacks; Clearwater H2 budget expansion plans; expected growth in Clearwater production; expected liquidity and credit facility capacity; ability to bring forward highly economic development opportunities in the Clearwater; potential asset duration, including the Company's estimated drilling inventory and decades of development runway; ability to enhance recovery factors, reduce corporate decline rates and improve long-term capital efficiency; expected waterflood expansion targets, including water injection rates and the percentage of Clearwater production under waterflood; timing of closing of the Transaction; the implied divestiture transaction metrics; expecting to replace more than the disposed Charlie Lake volumes with higher margin Clearwater barrels; expectations that the Transaction will strengthen numerous profitability metrics in the business, including expected improvements to field operating netbacks, corporate decline rates, sustaining capital requirements and free funds flow breakeven costs; expected reductions in run-rate operating expenses and interest expense and expected changes to general and administrative expense and income taxes following the Transaction; expectations relating to finding and development costs and recycle ratios; expectations of pro forma standalone Clearwater production and reserves following the sale; the revised 2026 full year capital guidance; expected asset durability, free funds flow resiliency and long-term shareholder returns across commodity price cycles; closing of the Credit Facility renewal including extension of the term by two years to May 29, 2030 and partial easing of certain covenants and restrictions; and expectations that the Transaction will not impact the current corporate credit rating.Future dividend payments and share buybacks, if any, and the level thereof, are uncertain, as the Company's return of capital framework and the funds available for such activities from time to time is dependent upon, among other things, free funds flow financial requirements for the Company's operations and the execution of its strategy, fluctuations in working capital and the timing and amount of capital expenditures, debt service requirements and other factors beyond the Company's control. Further, the ability of Tamarack to pay dividends and buyback shares will be subject to applicable laws (including the satisfaction of the solvency test contained in applicable corporate legislation) and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing its indebtedness, including its credit facility.The forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Tamarack, including those relating to: the satisfaction of all conditions to the completion of the Transaction; the business plan of Tamarack; execution of the Company's 2026 budget; the timing of and success of future drilling, conversion, development and completion activities; the geological characteristics of Tamarack's properties; prevailing commodity prices, price volatility, price differentials and the actual prices received for the Company's products; the realization of anticipated benefits of the Company's infrastructure, waterflood development program and recent acquisitions and divestitures; the availability and performance of drilling rigs, facilities, pipelines and other oilfield services; the timing of past operations and activities in the planned areas of focus; the performance of new and existing wells; the application of existing drilling and fracturing techniques; the Company's ability to secure sufficient amounts of water; prevailing weather and break-up conditions; royalty regimes and exchange rates; impact of inflation on costs; the application of regulatory and licensing requirements; the continued availability of capital and skilled personnel; the ability to maintain or grow the banking facilities; the accuracy of Tamarack's geological interpretation of its drilling and land opportunities, including the ability of seismic activity to enhance such interpretation; and Tamarack's ability to execute its plans and strategies.Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Tamarack can give no assurances that they may prove to be correct. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) that could cause actual events or outcomes to differ materially from those anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the risk that the Transaction will not be completed on the terms anticipated or at all, including due to a closing condition not being satisfied; the risk that the Company utilizes the proceeds from the Transaction other than in the manners described in this news release; risks with respect to unplanned third party pipeline outages and risks relating to inclement and severe weather events and natural disasters, such as fire, drought and flooding, including in respect of safety, asset integrity and shutting-in production; the risk that future dividend payments thereunder are reduced, suspended or cancelled; incorrect assessments of the value of benefits to be obtained from exploration and development programs; risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g. operational risks in development, exploration and production; and delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures); the risk that (i) the U.S. and Canadian governments maintain tariffs, increase the rate or scope of tariffs, or impose new tariffs on the import of goods from one country to the other, 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 by the U.S. on other countries and responses thereto 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; commodity prices, including the impact of the actions of OPEC and OPEC+ members; risks relating to reliance on third parties; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, cash generation, costs and expenses, including increased operating and capital costs due to inflationary pressures; health, safety, litigation and environmental risks; access to capital; and pandemics. In addition, ongoing military actions in Venezuela, Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine have the potential to threaten the supply of oil and gas from those regions. The long-term impacts of the actions between these nations remains uncertain. Due to the nature of the oil and natural gas industry, drilling plans and operational activities may be delayed or modified to respond to market conditions, results of past operations, regulatory approvals or availability of services causing results to be delayed. Please refer to the most recent annual information form and management's discussion and analysis of the Company, for additional risk factors relating to Tamarack, which can be accessed either on Tamarack's website at www.tamarackvalley.ca or under the Company's profile on www.sedarplus.ca. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included statements, except as required by law. The forward-looking statements contained herein are qualified by this cautionary statement.This news release contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about generating sustainable long-term growth in free funds flow, dividends, share buybacks and debt reduction, the 2026 budget and revised outlook, guidance and budget pricing and allocation, the revised 2026 capital program and accelerated Clearwater investment, including prospective results of operations, production, free funds flow, operating costs (including net operating expenses, transportation, general and administrative expenses and interest expense), royalty rates, oil and NGL weighting, corporate wellhead price differentials, income taxes, field operating netbacks, corporate decline rates, sustaining capital requirements, free funds flow breakeven costs (on both a hedged and unhedged basis), finding and development costs, recycle ratios, expected dividend payments, pro forma net cash position, available funding and available liquidity, pro forma standalone Clearwater production and reserves, waterflood expansion targets (including expected water injection rates and the percentage of Clearwater production under waterflood), total return to shareholders and balance sheet strength, and components thereof, including pro forma the completion of the Transaction, all of which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the above paragraphs. FOFI contained in this document was approved by management as of the date of this document and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about Tamarack's future business operations. Tamarack and its management believe that FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments, and represent, to the best of management's knowledge and opinion, the Company's expected course of action. However, because this information is highly subjective, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results. Tamarack disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law. Readers are cautioned that the FOFI contained in this document should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein. Changes in commodity prices, differences in the timing and allocation of capital expenditures, and variances in average production estimates can have a significant impact on the key performance measures included in Tamarack's guidance. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.Specified Financial MeasuresThis news release includes various specified financial measures, including non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS financial ratios, capital management measures and supplemental financial measures as further described herein. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other companies.Net operating expenses (Non-IFRS Financial Measure and Non-IFRS Financial Ratio if calculated on a per boe basis) is calculated as operating expenses less processing income. Tamarack generates processing income from third parties that utilize excess capacity at Tamarack's facilities. If Tamarack has excess capacity at one of its facilities, the Company will seek to process third-party volumes as a means of offsetting a portion of the facility costs. Accordingly, net operating expenses allow Tamarack and others to assess the profitability of field operating results by including the associated income generated from plant operations.Adjusted funds flow (capital management measure) is defined as cash provided by operating activities excluding asset retirement obligation expenditures, transaction costs and changes in non-cash working capital. Asset retirement obligation expenditures and transactions costs from business combinations both result from the Company's capital budgeting and strategic planning processes, which first considers available adjusted funds flow. Asset retirement obligation expenditures vary from period to period depending on capital programs, government regulations and the maturity of the Company's operating areas. By also excluding changes in non-cash working capital from cash provided by operating activities, the adjusted funds flow measure provides a meaningful metric for Tamarack and others by establishing a clear link between the Company's cash flows, income statement and operating netbacks by isolating the impact of changes in the timing between accrual and cash settlement dates, which can often be within management's control. Tamarack uses adjusted funds flow to assess the Company's financial performance and cash generated from operating activities.Free funds flow (capital management measure) is defined as adjusted funds flow less investments in oil and natural gas assets (excluding acquisitions and dispositions) and the settlement of asset retirement obligations. Management utilizes free funds flow to assess how much cash was generated in excess of Tamarack's capital investment and asset retirement programs in the same period, which can be utilized to reduce debt, fund acquisitions or return capital.Available funding (capital management measure) is calculated as the sum of undrawn credit capacity under the Company's credit facility and cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, cross-currency swap liability (asset), assets held for sale (net), accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Tamarack and others utilize available funding to assess the amount of funds that could be available to the Company in the near term to fund capital management initiatives.Net debt (cash) (capital management measure) is calculated as the sum of the Company's debt, government loans and other, cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, cross-currency swap liability (asset), assets held for sale (net), accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Tamarack and others utilize net debt to assess liquidity and balance sheet strength by aggregating the select financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet.Operating netback equals total oil and natural gas sales, including realized gains and losses on commodity hedges, less royalties, net operating expenses and transportation expenses. Field Operating Netback equals total oil and natural gas sales, less royalties, net operating expenses and transportation expenses. These metrics can also be calculated on a per boe basis, which results in them being considered a non-IFRS financial ratio. Management considers operating netback and field operating netback important measures to evaluate performance by asset area by isolating the impact of corporate and other overhead related expenditures.Cash return on invested capital (Non-IFRS Financial Measure) is calculated as the sum of field operating netbacks generated since inception and the gross proceeds of divestment divided by the original net cost of asset acquisitions and development. Management utilizes the cash return on invested capital measure in this news release to provide a measure of how much cash was generated from the Charlie lake assets, relative to the Company's original capital investment in the play, excluding the impact of discounting, taxes and general and administrative costs. The cash return on invested capital from the sale of Charlie Lake of >70% reported in this news release was calculated as field operating netbacks since inception of $1.1 billion plus gross proceeds from the disposal net of transaction costs, divided by the Company's original net acquisition and development costs of $1.1 billion.Sustaining capital (supplementary financial measure) represents management's estimate of annual capital investments required to maintain corporate production at prior period levels. This measure allows Management and others to assess the approximate composition of Tamarack's annual capital investment programs and its corporate financial sustainability. Sustaining capital is also utilized to calculate the Company's free funds flow breakeven cost.Free funds flow breakeven cost (capital management measure) reflects the average minimum WTI price (US per bbl) received by Tamarack where adjusted funds flow net of the base dividend and sustaining capital requirements is approximately equivalent to zero, with sustained current hedged production levels and all other variables held constant. Management believes that free funds flow breakeven provides a useful measure to establish corporate sustainability. The calculation of Tamarack's original 2026 free funds flow breakeven cost of US$35 per bbl was primarily determined by utilizing the ranges within the original guidance assumptions included in the news release, other than for capital investments, which utilize the Company's sustaining capital requirements of $265.0 million under an assumed scaled-budget, break-even price scenario, and average royalty rates which would be expected to decline to 14 – 15% at WTI price of $35 per bbl. Other assumptions utilized by the Company to calculate the free funds flow breakeven cost includes annual dividends of $0.16 per share, hedging gains of $4.67 per boe and asset retirement obligation expenditures of $5.0 million. The calculation of Tamarack's pro forma free funds flow breakeven cost of US$28 per bbl following the Charlie Lake sale was primarily determined by utilizing the implied H2 ranges within the revised guidance assumptions included in this news release, other than for capital investments, which utilize the Company's revised sustaining capital requirements of

Tamarack Valley Energy Continues Operational Momentum in the Clearwater with Strong Q1 2026 ResultsMay 6, 2026 5:00 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) TSX: TVECALGARY, AB, May 6, 2026 /CNW/ - Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Selected financial and operating information should be read with Tamarack's unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which are available at www.sedarplus.ca and www.tamarackvalley.ca. Tamarack successfully executed its first quarter winter drilling program for ongoing development of the Company's core Clearwater and Charlie Lake areas. Tamarack delivered robust first quarter production, operating results and cash flows driven by consistent drilling results across the asset base and success from the waterflood expansion in the Clearwater. Capital allocation continues to be a critical area of focus for the Company, particularly given the recent strength in the commodity markets, as Tamarack seeks to maximize the total return to shareholders across all commodity price cycles through a combination of growth, share buybacks, the base dividend and net debt(1) reduction. Tamarack is accelerating a portion of its primary drilling activities originally scheduled for H2 into the second quarter to capitalize on the higher near-term commodity prices. The Company intends to revisit its H2 program mid-year.Q1 2026 Operational and Financial Highlights Production – First quarter 2026 production averaged 71,329 boe per day, reflecting a 5% increase over Q1 2025. Tamarack's Clearwater assets delivered 53,016 boe per day in Q1 2026, a 19% increase compared to 44,560 boe per day during the same period in the prior year.Cash flows – In the first quarter of 2026, Tamarack delivered cash provided by operating activities of $183.3 million, adjusted funds flow(1) of $221.8 million and free funds flow(1) of $128.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share.Capital investments – Tamarack invested $93.5 million in the first quarter of 2026. Planned capital investment activities in Q1 were predominantly focused on primary development activities, with the Company drilling 24.0 net Clearwater heavy oil production wells and 4.0 Charlie Lake wells.Shareholder returns – In Q1, Tamarack repurchased 4.6 million common shares, or 0.9% of the common share float, for a total cost of $47.0 million under its share buyback program. Together with base dividends, Tamarack returned $66.3 million to shareholders in the first quarter.

10 - 12 Tamarack remains on track to achieve full year production guidance of 69,000 – 71,000 boe per day. The Company plans to continue executing a disciplined capital management strategy targeting a reinvestment ratio(1) of 50 - 60% of adjusted funds flow(1).  In response to any sustained improvement in the cash flow outlook for the remainder of the year, Tamarack remains nimble, with an ability to scale the 2026 capital program quickly. As the Company's 2026 capital investment program was based on a budget of US$60 per bbl WTI, Tamarack has elected to accelerate a portion of its primary drilling activities originally scheduled for H2 into the second quarter to capitalize on the higher near-term commodity prices. The Company intends to revisit its H2 program mid-year.If higher benchmark commodity prices persist through 2026, Tamarack's guidance with respect to royalty rates and income taxes may increase as a result of higher revenues and earnings, respectively. Interest expense may also decline as a result lower balances of net debt(1). The Company is reaffirming its net operating expenses(1) per boe guidance for the full year, with higher per boe costs in the first quarter primarily due to seasonality.Clearwater Update
Tamarack's Clearwater assets delivered average production of 53,016 boe per day in Q1 2026, a 19% increase compared to 44,560 boe per day during the same period in the prior year. The growth in production re?ects the success of primary development programs, response from water?ood expansion, lower base declines and a tuck-in acquisition in Q3 2025.Tamarack's first quarter 2026 capital investment program was focused on primary development activities with the Company drilling 24 Clearwater horizontal heavy oil wells in the Clearwater fairway. First quarter waterflood injection volumes held steady at ~40,000 bbl per day in Q1 2026 (with ~24% of Clearwater production under waterflood). As originally planned, the majority of Tamarack's secondary recovery investments are scheduled for the balance of the year with more than 65 injector drills/conversions in the Company's Q2-Q4 outlook. The Company remains on track to exit 2026 with water injections rates of 60,000 bbl per day and greater than 35% of Clearwater oil production under waterflood. Response from the water?ood continues to grow, with total heavy oil uplift estimated to be greater than 6,000 bbl per day, or >11% of Tamarack's first quarter Clearwater production.Charlie Lake Update
Tamarack's Charlie Lake assets delivered average production of 18,131 boe per day in Q1 2026 (67% oil and liquids), consistent with production of 17,780 boe per day during the same period in the prior year, reflecting the Company's ongoing sustained production profile for the Charlie Lake asset. First quarter development activities were primarily focused in the Wembley area.  Tamarack drilled four (4.0 net) horizontal wells at Wembley in the first quarter of 2026 and completed and brought on stream four (4.0 net) horizontal wells (two in Wembley and two in Pipestone). The Company expects to resume drilling in June, focusing on a one-rig program for the remainder of 2026. Tamarack retains signi?cant capital allocation optionality with respect to the Charlie Lake, with su?cient owned and third-party processing and egress capacity to support ongoing operations and facilitate potential growth across the region.Shareholder Returns & Dividend Declaration
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company continued to focus on a disciplined share buyback program, repurchasing 4.6 million common shares at an average cost of $10.27 per share. Since the commencement of the share buyback program in January 2024, the Company has now reduced the common share count by 13.4%, or 74.6 million common shares, at a weighted average cost of $4.93 per share.Tamarack's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common shares of C$0.04 per share in accordance with the Company's dividend policy. The dividend will be payable on June 30, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2026. This quarterly cash dividend is designated as an eligible dividend for Canadian income tax purposes.Note Redemption
The Company currently holds $190.0 million of 7.25% interest-bearing senior unsecured notes maturing on May 10, 2027 (the "2027 Notes"). On April 29, 2026, the Company delivered a notice of redemption to redeem all of the remaining outstanding 2027 Notes on May 11, 2026, at a cost of 100.75% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The redemption of the 2027 Notes will be funded utilizing a draw under Tamarack's existing $875.0 million bank credit facility, currently maturing on April 30, 2028. Following the note redemption, the Company is anticipated to have undrawn credit capacity under its bank credit facility of greater than $525 million (>60% undrawn). This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase the 2027 notes.Investor Call

Selected financial and operating information should be read with Tamarack's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2026, which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on Tamarack's website at www.tamarackvalley.ca.Notes to News ReleaseSee "Specified Financial Measures".See "Disclosure of Oil and Gas information".2026 annual guidance numbers are based on average pricing assumptions of: Crude Oil – WTI US$60.00/bbl, Crude Oil – MSW Differential $US(4.00)/bbl, Crude Oil – WCS Differential $US(12.75)/bbl, Natural Gas – AECO C$2.75/GJ, Foreign Exchange – USD/CAD 1.35.Oil wellhead deductions for grade specific trading differential (ex CHV), blending requirements, quality differential, and pipeline tolls if Tamarack is not marketing (lease transactions).Disclosure of Oil and Gas InformationUnits of measurement
For the purpose of calculating unit costs, natural gas volumes have been converted to a boe using six thousand cubic feet equal to one barrel unless otherwise stated. A boe conversion ratio of 6:1 is based upon an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. This conversion conforms with Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 51 101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.Product Types
References in this news release to "crude oil" or "oil" refers to light, medium and heavy crude oil product types as defined by NI 51-101. References to "NGL" throughout this news release comprise pentane, butane, propane, and ethane, being all NGL as defined by NI 51-101. References to "natural gas" throughout this news release refers to conventional natural gas as defined by NI 51-101. Clearwater production volumes presented in this news release on a standalone total boe per day basis are comprised of approximately ~91% heavy oil, ~1% NGLs and ~8% natural gas. Charlie Lake production volumes presented in this news release on a standalone total boe per day basis are comprised of approximately ~55% light oil, ~12% NGLs and ~33% natural gas. Total corporate production guidance of 69,000 – 71,000 boe/d: 47,020 – 48,380 bbl/d heavy oil, 9,070 – 9,330 bbl/d light/med. oil, 2,560 – 2,640 bbl/d NGL and 62,100 – 63,900 mcf/d natural gas.Forward Looking Information
This news release contains certain forward-looking information (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "budget", "guidance", "outlook", "anticipate", "target", "plan", "continue", "intend", "consider", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "should", "could" or similar words (including negatives or grammatical variations) suggesting future outcomes. More particularly, this news release contains statements concerning: Tamarack's business strategy, objectives, strength and focus; the Company's exploration and development plans and strategies; the Company's intent to grow injection rates to 60,000 bbl per day (exit to exit), with greater than 35% of Clearwater oil production under waterflood by the end of 2026; expectations that, Tamarack seeks to maximize the total return to shareholders across all commodity price cycles through a combination of measured growth, share buybacks, the base dividend and net debt reduction; capital investments of $390 - 410 million in 2026 and the allocation thereof, annual average production of 69,000 – 71,000 boe/day, average oil and natural gas weightings of 84 – 86%, royalty rates of 19 – 21%, corporate wellhead price differentials – oil of $1.00 – 1.50 per boe, net operating expenses of $6.85 – 7.15 per boe, transportation expenses of $4.00 – 4.50 per boe, general and administrative expenses of $1.30 – 1.45 per boe, interest expense of $2.70 – 3.10 per boe and income taxes as a % of adjusted funds flow before tax of 10 – 12%; expectations that guidance may change if higher oil prices persist in 2026; the Company intends to revisit its H2 program mid-year; Tamarack retains signi?cant capital allocation optionality with respect to the Charlie Lake, with su?cient owned and third-party processing and egress capacity to support ongoing operations and facilitate potential growth across the region.Future dividend payments and share buybacks, if any, and the level thereof, are uncertain, as the Company's return of capital framework and the funds available for such activities from time to time is dependent upon, among other things, free funds flow financial requirements for the Company's operations and the execution of its strategy, fluctuations in working capital and the timing and amount of capital expenditures, debt service requirements and other factors beyond the Company's control. Further, the ability of Tamarack to pay dividends and buyback shares will be subject to applicable laws (including the satisfaction of the solvency test contained in applicable corporate legislation) and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing its indebtedness, including its credit facility.The forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Tamarack, including those relating to: the business plan of Tamarack; execution of the Company's 2026 budget; the timing of and success of future drilling, conversion, development and completion activities; the geological characteristics of Tamarack's properties; prevailing commodity prices, price volatility, price differentials and the actual prices received for the Company's products; the realization of anticipated benefits of the Company's infrastructure, waterflood development program and recent acquisitions and divestitures; the availability and performance of drilling rigs, facilities, pipelines and other oilfield services; the timing of past operations and activities in the planned areas of focus; the performance of new and existing wells; the application of existing drilling and fracturing techniques; the Company's ability to secure sufficient amounts of water; prevailing weather and break-up conditions; royalty regimes and exchange rates; impact of inflation on costs; the application of regulatory and licensing requirements; the continued availability of capital and skilled personnel; the ability to maintain or grow the banking facilities; the accuracy of Tamarack's geological interpretation of its drilling and land opportunities, including the ability of seismic activity to enhance such interpretation; and Tamarack's ability to execute its plans and strategies.Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Tamarack can give no assurances that they may prove to be correct. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) that could cause actual events or outcomes to differ materially from those anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks with respect to unplanned third party pipeline outages and risks relating to inclement and severe weather events and natural disasters, such as fire, drought and flooding, including in respect of safety, asset integrity and shutting-in production; the risk that future dividend payments thereunder are reduced, suspended or cancelled; incorrect assessments of the value of benefits to be obtained from exploration and development programs; risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g. operational risks in development, exploration and production; and delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures); the risk that (i) the U.S. and Canadian governments maintain tariffs, increase the rate or scope of tariffs, or impose new tariffs on the import of goods from one country to the other, 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 by the U.S. on other countries and responses thereto 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; commodity prices, including the impact of the actions of OPEC and OPEC+ members; risks relating to reliance on third parties, including in respect of the Company's use of third-party infrastructure at Charlie Lake; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, cash generation, costs and expenses, including increased operating and capital costs due to inflationary pressures; health, safety, litigation and environmental risks; access to capital; and pandemics. In addition, ongoing military actions in Venezuela, Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine have the potential to threaten the supply of oil and gas from those regions. The long-term impacts of the actions between these nations remains uncertain. Due to the nature of the oil and natural gas industry, drilling plans and operational activities may be delayed or modified to respond to market conditions, results of past operations, regulatory approvals or availability of services causing results to be delayed. Please refer to the most recent annual information form and management's discussion and analysis of the Company, for additional risk factors relating to Tamarack, which can be accessed either on Tamarack's website at www.tamarackvalley.ca or under the Company's profile on www.sedarplus.ca. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included statements, except as required by law. The forward-looking statements contained herein are qualified by this cautionary statement.This news release contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about generating sustainable long-term growth in free funds flow, dividends, share buybacks and debt reduction, the 2026 capital budget of $390 - 410 million, guidance and budget pricing and allocation, including prospective results of operations, production (including annual average production of 69,000 – 71,000 boe/day, average oil and natural gas weightings of 84 – 86% , free funds flow, operating costs (including net operating expenses in 2026), balance sheet strength, and components thereof, all of which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the above paragraphs. FOFI contained in this document was approved by management as of the date of this document and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about Tamarack's future business operations. Tamarack and its management believe that FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments, and represent, to the best of management's knowledge and opinion, the Company's expected course of action. However, because this information is highly subjective, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results. Tamarack disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law. Readers are cautioned that the FOFI contained in this document should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein. Changes in commodity prices, differences in the timing and allocation of capital expenditures, and variances in average production estimates can have a significant impact on the key performance measures included in Tamarack's guidance. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.Specified Financial MeasuresThis news release includes various specified financial measures, including non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS financial ratios, capital management measures and supplemental financial measures as further described herein. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other companies.Net operating expenses (Non-IFRS Financial Measure and Non-IFRS Financial Ratio if calculated on a per boe basis) is calculated as operating expenses less processing income. Tamarack generates processing income from third parties that utilize excess capacity at Tamarack's facilities. If Tamarack has excess capacity at one of its facilities, the Company will seek to process third-party volumes as a means of offsetting a portion of the facility costs. Accordingly, net operating expenses allow Tamarack and others to assess the profitability of field operating results by including the associated income generated from plant operations.Adjusted funds flow (capital management measure) is defined as cash provided by operating activities excluding asset retirement obligation expenditures, transaction costs and changes in non-cash working capital. Asset retirement obligation expenditures and transactions costs from business combinations both result from the Company's capital budgeting and strategic planning processes, which first considers available adjusted funds flow. Asset retirement obligation expenditures vary from period to period depending on capital programs, government regulations and the maturity of the Company's operating areas. By also excluding changes in non-cash working capital from cash provided by operating activities, the adjusted funds flow measure provides a meaningful metric for Tamarack and others by establishing a clear link between the Company's cash flows, income statement and operating netbacks by isolating the impact of changes in the timing between accrual and cash settlement dates, which can often be within management's control. Tamarack uses adjusted funds flow to assess the Company's financial performance and cash generated from operating activities.Free funds flow (capital management measure) is defined as adjusted funds flow less investments in oil and natural gas assets (excluding acquisitions and dispositions) and the settlement of asset retirement obligations. Management utilizes free funds flow to assess how much cash was generated in excess of the Company's capital investment and asset retirement programs within the same period, which can be utilized to reduce debt, fund acquisitions or return capital.Net debt (capital management measure) is calculated as the sum of the Company's debt, government loans and other, cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, cross-currency swap liability (asset), assets held for sale (net), accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Tamarack and others utilize net debt to assess liquidity and balance sheet strength by aggregating the select financial assets and financial liabilities on the Company's balance sheet.Reinvestment ratio (capital management measure) is generally expressed as a percentage and is calculated by dividing the sum of investments in oil and natural gas assets and asset retirement obligation expenditures by adjusted funds flow. Management utilizes the reinvestment ratio to assess the amount of adjusted funds flow that is utilized to fund the Company's capital investment programs within the same time period.Operating netback equals total oil and natural gas sales, including realized gains and losses on commodity hedges, less royalties, net operating expenses and transportation expenses. Operating Field Netback equals total oil and natural gas sales, less royalties, net operating expenses and transportation expenses. These metrics can also be calculated on a per boe basis, which results in them being considered a non-IFRS financial ratio. Management considers operating netback and operating field netback important measures to evaluate performance by asset area by isolating the impact of corporate and other overhead related expenditures.Adjusted net income (Non-IFRS Financial Measure and Non-IFRS Financial Ratio if calculated on a per share basis) is determined by removing impairment losses, gains and losses on dispositions and unrealized gains and losses on risk management contracts on an after-tax basis from the Company's net income for the period. Tamarack and others utilize this performance metric to assess earnings in the absence of non-cash gains and losses. This metric may also be presented on a per share basis as a non-GAAP financial ratio.Please refer to the management's discussion and analysis for additional information relating to specified financial measures including non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS financial ratios and capital management measures.

Tamarack Valley Energy Announces Strong Q4 2025 Results, Significant Growth in Clearwater Reserves and Operational UpdateFebruary 25, 2026 5:00 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

TSX: TVECALGARY, AB, Feb. 25, 2026 /CNW/ - Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, together with the results of the Company's independent oil and gas reserves evaluation as of December 31, 2025 as prepared by Tamarack's independent qualified reserves evaluator, McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd.

Tamarack has successfully completed its strategic multi-year transformation into a core Clearwater and Charlie Lake producer. 2025 was a tremendous year for the Company, reflecting substantial growth in the profitability of the business from production outperformance, waterflood expansion, improved capital efficiencies, growth in reserves, lower costs and portfolio optimization. For the full year, Tamarack delivered a total return to shareholders of 19%(1), reflecting a combination of production growth, dividends, share buybacks and net debt reduction.For 2026, Tamarack's sustaining free funds flow breakeven cost(1) has declined to ~US$35 per barrel WTI ((2) that is expected to be 22%. With a low-cost structure, low corporate decline rate, low reinvestment requirement and low corporate breakeven oil price, Tamarack is well positioned to continue generating sustainable total returns for shareholders in lower price environments.2025 Operational and Financial Highlights Production – Fourth quarter 2025 production averaged 68,635 boe per day, reflecting a 4% increase over Q4 2024, or 9% excluding the impact of ~4,000 boe per day of non-core production divested in mid October. Tamarack's Clearwater assets delivered 50,049 boe per day in Q4 2025, a 16% increase compared to 43,288 boe per day during same period in the prior year.Operating expenses – Net operating expenses per boe(1) declined by 17% year-over-year reflecting the ongoing impact of field infrastructure, lower costs from waterflood reinjection, higher production, reduced workovers and portfolio optimization.Cash flows – In the fourth quarter of 2025, Tamarack delivered cash provided by operating activities of $175.6 million, adjusted funds flow(1) of $171.8 million and free funds flow(1) of $70.6 million, or $0.14 per share. For the full year, Tamarack generated free funds flow(1) of $390.1 million or $0.78 per share, a 10% increase from 2024 despite a 14% decline in WTI prices.Shareholder returns – In Q4, Tamarack repurchased 6.8 million common shares for a total cost of $49.4 million under its share buyback program. For the full year, the Company acquired 36.2 million common shares, or 6.9% of the common share float, for a total cost of $185.3 million (averaging $5.00 per share). Together with base dividends, Tamarack returned $262.3 million to shareholders in 2025 (~$0.52 per share). On February 24, 2026, Tamarack declared a quarterly cash dividend of C$0.04 per share, payable on March 31, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 13, 2026.Reserves & resources growth(2) – In 2025, Tamarack increased proved developed producing reserves by 31% to 90 MMboe, replacing 185% of production year-over-year, with a recycle ratio of 5.2x and finding and development costs of $8.09 per boe. Total TPP reserves increased by 18% to 282 MMboe, replacing 274% of production. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and non-core divestitures in 2025, Tamarack's TPP reserves increased by 30% (replacing 413% of production). For the year, Tamarack's contingent and prospective resources (unrisked) also increased by 8% and 6%, respectively.Capital investments – Tamarack invested $99.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, drilling 24.0 net Clearwater heavy oil production wells and 6.0 injection wells to support ongoing expansion of the waterflood. For the full year, Tamarack invested $400.0 million, an 11% reduction from 2024, primarily reflecting the impact of declining sustaining capital requirements from strong waterflood performance, capital efficiencies from multi-well pad developments and improved run times.Waterflood expansion - Tamarack continues to prioritize low-cost, high-margin waterflood investment opportunities in the core Clearwater development areas in tandem with primary drilling activities. The Company exited 2025 with greater than 40,000 bbl per day of water injection and intends to grow injection rates to 60,000 bbl per day (exit to exit) with more than 35% of Clearwater oil production under waterflood expansion by the end of 2026.Coring up the Clearwater – In 2025, Tamarack continued to expand its footprint in the core Clearwater fairway with two strategic tuck-in acquisitions that included over 145 net sections of stacked Clearwater, Wabiskaw and other potential multi-zone mineral rights in the Nipisi, Marten Hills, Figure Lake, Seal and Pelican asset areas near the Company's core holdings. Tamarack plans to drill both the Wabiskaw and Clearwater oil zones at Pelican in 2026. Tamarack now holds over 850 net sections of mineral rights in the Clearwater fairway, reflecting 25% year-over-year growth in the Company's Clearwater land holdings.Portfolio optimization – In 2025, Tamarack sold substantially all of its remaining non-core assets in the Southern Penny and Eastern Alberta areas for gross cash proceeds of $140.0 million before closing adjustments and derecognized $55.3 million of asset retirement obligations (discounted). Since the beginning of 2023, Tamarack has reduced its asset retirement obligations by $155.5 million (discounted), or over 55%, from non-core asset dispositions.Summary of Tamarack's reserves by year(2)ClearwaterCorporate TotalReserves (MMboe)

6.265.892.585.264.242.042025 Corporate Reserves Highlights(2)Growth in reserves – Tamarack delivered significant reserves growth and capital-efficient replacement through the Company's 2025 drilling and development programs:PDP reserves increased by 31% to 90 MMboe, replacing 185% of productionTP reserves increased by 26% to 174 MMboe, replacing 245% of productionTPP reserves increased by 18% to 282 MMboe, replacing 274% of productionExcluding reserves and production associated with acquisitions and divestitures in 2025 (~29 MMboe of TPP reserves), Tamarack's TPP reserves increased by 30%, replacing 413% of production year-over-year.Finding and development costs – Tamarack continued to advance its capital efficiency in 2025, supported by highly accretive Clearwater waterflood additions and strong, repeatable performance in the Charlie Lake. Including changes to future development costs, Tamarack realized 2025 F&D costs of $8.09/boe (PDP), $8.01/boe (TP) and $7.93/boe (TPP).Recycle ratios – Tamarack generated an operating field netback of $41.71 per boe in 2025. Combined with the Company's efficient reserve growth in the year, Tamarack delivered higher recycle ratios of 5.15 (PDP), 5.21 (TP) and 5.26 (TPP). The standout 70% improvement in the year-over-year PDP recycle ratio was achieved in a pricing environment where near-term WTI benchmark prices fell by 14%. These results have reinforced the margin durability in a lower price environment and contributed to higher before-tax net present value (10% discount rate) of $2.2 billion (PDP), $3.4 billion (TP) and $5.4 billion (TPP).Per Share Value Growth – Tamarack achieved significant per-share value expansion, increasing debt-adjusted reserves per share(1) by 42% (PDP) and 28% (TPP) from 2024. This performance was supported by disciplined debt reduction, consistent return of capital through dividends and share buybacks and the addition of low-cost, high-quality reserve volumes.2025 Clearwater Reserves Highlights(2)Growth in reserves – In 2025, Tamarack demonstrated substantial Clearwater reserve growth across all categories, demonstrating the transformative nature of the play through both primary development and secondary recovery:PDP reserves increased by 63% to 70 MMboe, replacing 256% of productionTP reserves increased by 64% to 133 MMboe, replacing 401% of productionTPP reserves increased by 56% to 208 MMboe, replacing 534% of productionFinding and development costs – Tamarack's Clearwater assets continued to demonstrate strong capital efficiencies in 2025 with F&D costs of $6.93 per boe (PDP), $7.72 per boe (TP) and $7.33 per boe (TPP).Recycle ratios – Together with an operating field netback of $45.86 per boe, the asset delivered recycle ratios of 6.61x (PDP), 5.94x (TP) and 6.26x (TPP), reinforcing the Clearwater's high-margin quality that can deliver strong returns even in a lower commodity price environment.Waterflood Economics – In 2025, Tamarack's PDP reserves under waterflood expanded by 300%, contributing to a 37% improvement in the reserve life index. This performance reflects waterflood F&D on PDP reserves of less than $3.00 per boe, which translates to a recycle ratio of greater than 18x. At this early stage of development and with only ~37% of Clearwater PDP reserves currently assigned to waterflood, Tamarack's development program is building momentum towards a broader expansion of secondary recovery in the Clearwater fairway with substantial running room.2025 Corporate Resources Highlights(2)As at December 31, 2025, Tamarack had "best estimate" gross contingent resources (unrisked) of 115 MMbbl of heavy oil assets in the Clearwater, reflecting an 8% increase over 2024. The Company also held gross prospective resources (unrisked) of 104 MMbbl, a 6% increase from the prior year. There are 605 net Contingent and 1,008 net Prospective drilling locations identified in the Resource Report. Together with reserves, the Resource Report implies that Tamarack has over 2,100 drilling locations. At the Company's current rates of primary development, that would imply 28 years of potential drilling inventory in the Clearwater.2025 Operational and Financial Highlights

For the full year, the Company drilled 25 injection wells and converted 16 producers to injection, more than doubling Tamarack's injection well count from the prior year. The Company also drilled two source water wells to support the water?ood expansion.Response from the water?ood continued to grow throughout the year, with total heavy oil uplift now estimated to be greater than 5,000 bbl per day, or ~10% of Tamarack's Clearwater production. From an operational perspective, investments in water handling and injection infrastructure have contributed to lower net operating expenses on a per barrel basis with the produced water reinjection leading to reduced trucking and disposal requirements.Incremental oil response from water?ood activities in the Clearwater continues to be highly correlated with injection rates across the play. Tamarack exited 2025 with Clearwater injection rates of more than 40,000 bbl per day, tripling exit-rate injection volumes year-over year, and now has 24% of its Clearwater production under waterflood. 2026 waterflood investments are forecasted to be $100 million, which represents double that of 2025 in response to the ongoing success of the program. The Company intends to grow injection rates to 60,000 bbl per day by the end of 2026 (exit to exit), with greater than 35% of Clearwater oil production under waterflood. Tamarack expects that expanded waterfloods investments will further accelerate decline mitigation and lower future reinvestment ratios longer term, which will enable the Company to offer more torque to growth at higher commodity price cycles.Charlie Lake UpdateTamarack's Charlie Lake assets delivered average production of 17,610 boe per day in Q4 2025 (68% oil and liquids), a 4% increase compared to production of 16,936 boe per day during the same period in the prior year. For the full year, Charlie Lake production averaged 17,071 boe per day (67% oil and liquids), reflecting a sustained annualized production profile year-over-year.The Charlie Lake assets continued to generate high-margin cash flows for the Company in 2025 with operating netbacks(1) of $30.43 per boe, or $190 million, and free funds flow(1) of more than $70 million, providing meaningful funding contributions towards the Company's base dividend, share buyback and net debt reduction initiatives during the year.Tamarack drilled four (4.0 net) horizontal wells in the fourth quarter of 2025 and completed and brought on stream three (3.0 net) horizontal wells. Activities were largely focused in the Pipestone area, where Tamarack was able to direct production to both the new third-party CSV Albright gas plant and the AltaGas Pipestone II gas plant expansion during the quarter, reflecting a major advancement in Tamarack's field egress capacity.  For the full year, Tamarack drilled 15 (13.8 net) wells in the Charlie Lake and brought 18 (16.8 net) wells on stream. The Company continues to drill industry leading wells with initial rates that are meeting or exceeding type curve expectations, including the Company's recent 100/14-09-073-09W6 well (on stream in November) that has achieved an initial 90-day production rate(2) averaging ~1,400 barrels per day of oil (2,000 boe per day).Tamarack plans to maintain a flat exit rate production profile in 2026, utilizing a one-rig program to drill 10 wells at Pipestone and Wembley. Tamarack retains signi?cant capital allocation optionality with respect to the Charlie Lake, with su?cient owned and third-party processing and egress capacity to support ongoing operations, maintain production and facilitate potential growth across the region.2026 Outlook(3)For the year ended December 31,

10Tamarack's 2026 outlook is unchanged from the budget announcement in December 2025. Approximately 70% of the Company's 2026 capital investment program is dedicated to the Clearwater for ongoing primary development and waterflood expansion across the Nipisi, West Marten, Marten Hills and South Clearwater areas. Tamarack is allocating 20% of the capital investment budget for ongoing development of the Charlie Lake at Pipestone and Wembley with plans to maintain a flat exit rate production profile. Tamarack's exploration budget includes opportunities in the greater Clearwater fairway. Tamarack plans to drill both the Wabiskaw and Clearwater oil zones at Pelican in 2026.The Company's capital investment program is expected to deliver year-over-year production growth of ~3%. This measured growth primarily reflects the impact of development activities in 2026 and ongoing waterflood investments in 2024 and 2025. Net production expenses(1) in 2026 are anticipated to decline to ~$7.00 per boe, or 6% compared to the prior year, primarily due to non-core property dispositions in 2025, which carried higher per barrel costs relative to Tamarack's corporate averages on retained assets. The Company also continues to realize lower per barrel costs through field infrastructure investments, lower water handling and trucking costs from waterflood reinjection and reduced workover costs.Shareholder Returns & Dividend DeclarationIn 2025, the Company repurchased 36.2 million common shares at an average price of $5.00 per share and has now reduced the common share count by 12.6% since the commencement of the share buyback program in January 2024. Together with base dividends, Tamarack returned $262.3 million to shareholders in 2025. Tamarack has renewed its normal course issuer bid with the Toronto Stock Exchange, commencing on January 19, 2026. The NCIB allows the Company to purchase up to 47,744,705 Common Shares of the Company over a period of 12 months expiring no later than January 18, 2027.Tamarack's share buybacks allow the Company to continue generating compounding per share growth over time. Having recently achieved a net debt target of 1x Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA(1) at US$50 per bbl WTI, the Company will continue to focus on allocating additional free funds flow to share buybacks in 2026.Tamarack's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common shares of C$0.04 per share in accordance with the Company's dividend policy. The dividend will be payable on March 31, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 13, 2026. This quarterly cash dividend is designated as an eligible dividend for Canadian income tax purposes. Starting in 2026, Tamarack transitioned to a quarterly dividend schedule targeting the last day of each calendar quarter end.2025 Reserves Information(2)The following tables highlight selected information from the Company's reserve report, which have been prepared by McDaniel, a qualified independent reserves evaluator, in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") and the most recent publication of the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH").

Extensions and improved recovery additions during the year were primarily attributable to development activity in the Company's Clearwater and Charlie Lake assets. Extensions reflect reserves added through the drilling and development of new locations within these core areas. Improved recovery additions were mainly driven by the expansion of the Company's Clearwater waterflood area, which supported the booking of incremental reserves consistent with observed reservoir response and the current development plan.The Company also recognized technical revisions totaling 39.9 MMboe of proved reserves and 33.3 MMboe of proved plus probable reserves. Technical revisions during the year were largely the result of production outperformance in the Company's Clearwater assets under both primary and waterflood recovery. Revisions reflect updates to reserves estimates based on stronger-than-forecast production performance and improved understanding of reservoir behaviour, as incorporated by the independent qualified reserves evaluator.During the year, Tamarack divested 20.2 MMboe of proved reserves and 35.1 MMboe of proved plus probable reserves primarily consisting of non-core Southern Penny and Eastern Alberta assets. Acquired proved plus probable reserves of 5.9 MMboe primarily relates to a strategic tuck-in acquisition consisting of approximately 1,100 boe per day of Clearwater heavy oil and natural gas production and over 114 net sections of stacked Clearwater and other potential multi-zone mineral rights in the Clearwater fairway.Future Development Costs($000s)Total Proved

The Company is currently developing two projects in Northern Alberta – a Clearwater heavy oil position at Nipisi, Marten Hills and South Clearwater and a Charlie Lake light oil position at Valhalla, Wembley and Pipestone. Tamarack holds an extensive inventory of low-risk, oil development drilling locations and is pursuing enhanced oil recovery upside across the Company's core asset areas. Tamarack is committed to creating long-term value for its shareholders through sustainable free funds flow generation, financial stability and the return of capital. The Company is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "TVE". For more information, visit www.tamarackvalley.ca.Reader AdvisoriesSelected financial and operating information should be read with Tamarack's audited consolidated financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on Tamarack's website at www.tamarackvalley.caNotes to News ReleaseSee "Specified Financial Measures".See "Disclosure of Oil and Gas information".2026 annual guidance numbers are based on average pricing assumptions of: Crude Oil – WTI US$60.00/bbl, Crude Oil – MSW Differential $US(4.00)/bbl, Crude Oil – WCS Differential $US(12.75)/bbl, Natural Gas – AECO C$2.75/GJ, Foreign Exchange – USD/CAD 1.35.Oil wellhead deductions for grade specific trading differential (ex CHV), blending requirements, quality differential, and pipeline tolls if Tamarack is not marketing (lease transactions).Disclosure of Oil and Gas InformationUnits of measurementFor the purpose of calculating unit costs, natural gas volumes have been converted to a boe using six thousand cubic feet equal to one barrel unless otherwise stated. A boe conversion ratio of 6:1 is based upon an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. This conversion conforms with Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 51 101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.Corporate decline rateThis news release contains metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as corporate decline rate. "Corporate decline rate" represents the percentage decline of the Company's production base, excluding the production from new wells drilled in the year. Corporate decline rate is not a financial measure and does not have a standardized meaning under NI 51-101. This term has been calculated by management and does 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. Management uses this oil and gas metric for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with a measure to compare Tamarack's operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes.Tamarack's corporate decline rate disclosed in this news release is based on primary and waterflood type curves that are internally estimated by the Company's management and represents estimates of the production decline and ultimate volumes expected to be recovered from wells over the life of the well. The type curves represent what management believes an average well will achieve, based on methodology that is analogous to wells with similar geological features. Individual wells may be higher or lower but over a larger number of wells, management expects the average to come out to the type curve. Over time type curves can and will change based on achieving more production history on older wells or more recent completion information on newer wells. Such type curves are useful in understanding management's assumptions of well performance in making investment decisions in relation to development drilling in such areas and for determining the success of the performance of development wells. However, internally prepared type curves do not reflect the type curves used by our independent qualified reserves evaluator in estimating Tamarack's reserves volumes and such type curves have not been assigned reserves or resources. There is no certainty that Tamarack will ultimately recover the internal type curve volumes from the wells it drills. Actual results may vary materially from both primary and waterflood incremental curve estimates.Product TypesReferences in this news release to "crude oil" or "oil" refers to light, medium and heavy crude oil product types as defined by NI 51-101. References to "NGL" throughout this news release comprise pentane, butane, propane, and ethane, being all NGL as defined by NI 51-101. References to "natural gas" throughout this news release refers to conventional natural gas as defined by NI 51-101. Clearwater production volumes presented in this news release on a standalone total boe per day basis are comprised of approximately ~91% heavy oil, ~1% NGLs and ~8% natural gas. Charlie Lake production volumes presented in this news release on a standalone total boe per day basis are comprised of approximately ~54% light oil, ~14% NGLs and ~32% natural gas. Total corporate production guidance of 69,000 – 71,000 boe/d: 47,020 – 48,380 bbl/d heavy oil, 9,070 – 9,330 bbl/d light/med. oil, 2,560 – 2,640 bbl/d NGL and 62,100 – 63,900 mcf/d natural gas.90-day production rate (IP 90)With respect to the 90-day production rates reported on Tamarack's 100/14-09-073-09W6 well, the production rate is based on field estimates and excludes seven days during the period where the well was shut-in due for tie-in activities in November. The production breakdown of the 2,000 boe per day is as follows: 1,400 bbl per day light and medium oil, 100 bbl per day NGL and 3,000 mcf per day of natural gas.Annual Information FormTamarack's Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information on Form 51-101F1 dated effective as at December 31, 2025, which includes further disclosure of Tamarack's oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with NI 51-101 and COGEH forming the basis of this news release, is included in the Annual Information Form which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or the Company's website at www.tamarackvalley.ca.Reserves and Future Net Revenue DisclosuresAll reserves values, future net revenue and ancillary information contained in this news release are derived from the Reserve Reports unless otherwise noted. All reserve references in this news release are "Company Gross Reserves". Company Gross reserves defined as working interest share of reserves prior to royalty deductions. Estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same level of confidence as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effect of aggregation. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions applied by McDaniel in evaluating Tamarack's reserves will be attained and variances could be material. All reserves assigned in the Reserve Reports are located in the Province of Alberta.All evaluations and summaries of future net revenue are stated prior to the provision for interest, debt service charges or general and administrative expenses and after deduction of royalties, operating costs, estimated well abandonment and reclamation costs and estimated future capital expenditures. It should not be assumed that the estimates of future net revenues presented in the tables below represent the fair market value of the reserves. The recovery and reserve estimates of 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. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of crude oil, reserves and the future cash flows attributed to such reserves. The reserve and associated cash flow information set forth herein are estimates only.Proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. Proved developed producing reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty. Undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (e.g., when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves category (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned. Certain terms used in this news release but not defined are defined in NI 51-101, CSA Staff Notice 51-324 – Revised Glossary to NI 51-101 ("CSA Staff Notice 51-324") and/or the COGEH and, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the same meanings herein as in NI 51-101, CSA Staff Notice 51-324 and the COGEH, as the case may be.Resources disclosure Tamarack's heavy oil Clearwater contingent resource and prospective resource estimates contained herein were derived from the Resource Report prepared by McDaniel, a qualified independent resource evaluator, effective as of December 31, 2025, in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in NI 51-101 and COGEH. The contingent and prospective resources estimates of Tamarack's Clearwater heavy oil contingent resources provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated prospective and contingent resources will be recovered. Actual resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein and the differences may be material. Tamarack's Statement of Contingent and Prospective Resources dated February 24, 2026, which has been filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, includes further disclosure of Tamarack's contingent and prospective resources, including the risks and uncertainties related thereto. Contingent resources are defined as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as "contingent resources" the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early project stage. Contingent resources are further classified in accordance with the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status. Prospective resources are those quantities of heavy oil estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates, assuming their discovery and development, and may be subclassified based on project maturity. Estimates of prospective resources have not been adjusted for risk based on the chance of discovery or the chance of development. Resources are classified according to degree of certainty associated with those estimates. In this news release, "best estimate" classification is used which is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity of resources that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. Those resources identified as best estimate have a 50 percent probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.This news release may disclose Clearwater drilling locations two categories: (i) booked locations; and (ii) unbooked locations. Booked locations are proved and probable locations derived from the McDaniel Reserve Report prepared in accordance with NI 51-101 and the most recent publication of the COGE Handbook. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves. However, the unbooked Clearwater locations have attributed contingent or prospective resources, based on the Resource Report. Of the Clearwater inventory of 2,133 (net) drilling locations identified herein, 520 (net) are proved or probable locations, and 1,613 (net) are unbooked locations. Unbooked locations have been identified by management as an estimation of the Company's multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the Company will drill all unbooked 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 the Company actually drills 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, the majority of 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.Reserves definitions This news release contains metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as development capital, F&D costs, FD&A costs and recycle ratio. "Development capital" means the aggregate exploration and development costs incurred in the financial year on reserves that are categorized as development. Development capital presented herein excludes land and capitalized administration costs but includes the cost of acquisitions and capital associated with acquisitions where reserve additions are attributed to the acquisitions."Finding and development costs" or "F&D costs" are calculated as the sum of field capital plus the change in FDC for the period divided by the change in reserves that are characterized as development for the period and "finding, development and acquisition costs" are calculated as the sum of field capital plus acquisition capital plus the change in FDC for the period divided by the change in total reserves, other than from production, for the period. Both finding and development costs and finding development and acquisition costs take into account reserves revisions during the year on a per boe basis. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the financial year and changes during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserves additions for that year. Finding and development costs both including and excluding acquisitions and dispositions have been presented in this news release because acquisitions and dispositions can have a significant impact on Tamarack's ongoing reserves replacements costs and excluding these amounts could result in an inaccurate portrayal of the Company's cost structure. "Finding, development and acquisition costs" or "FD&A costs" incorporate the change in FDC required to bring proved undeveloped and developed reserves into production. In all cases, the FD&A number is calculated by dividing the identified capital expenditures by the applicable reserves additions after changes in FDC costs. The Clearwater F&D metric reported in this news release includes a proportionate share of general and administrative costs based on the TPP reserve volume weighting of 74% (% of total TPP reserves)."Recycle ratio" is measured by dividing the operating netback for the applicable period by F&D cost per boe for the year. The recycle ratio compares netback from existing reserves to the cost of finding new reserves and may not accurately indicate the investment success unless the replacement reserves are of equivalent quality as the produced reserves.These terms have been calculated by management and 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. Management uses these oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare Tamarack's operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this news release, should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes.Forward Looking InformationThis news release contains certain forward-looking information (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "budget", "guidance", "outlook", "anticipate", "target", "plan", "continue", "intend", "consider", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "should", "could" or similar words (including negatives or grammatical variations) suggesting future outcomes. More particularly, this news release contains statements concerning: Tamarack's business strategy, objectives, strength and focus; the Company's exploration and development plans and strategies; Tamarack's continued prioritization of low-cost, high-margin waterflood investment opportunities in the core Clearwater development areas in tandem with primary drilling activities; the Company's intent to grow injection rates to 60,000 bbl per day (exit to exit), with greater than 35% of Clearwater oil production under waterflood by the end of 2026; expectations that, with a low-cost structure, low corporate decline rate, low reinvestment requirement and low corporate breakeven oil price, Tamarack is well positioned to continue generating sustainable total returns for shareholders in lower price environments through a combination of measured growth, share buybacks, debt reduction and the base dividend; Tamarack's forecasted ~$7.00 per boe run-rate in 2026; expectations that reinforcing the Clearwater's high-margin quality can deliver strong returns even in a lower commodity price environment; expectations that Tamarack's development program is building momentum towards a broader expansion of secondary recovery in the Clearwater fairway with substantial running room; expectations that, at current rates of primary development, the Resource Report implies that Tamarack has 28 years of potential drilling inventory in the Clearwater; capital investments of $390 - 410 million in 2026 and the allocation thereof, annual average production of 69,000 – 71,000 boe/day, average oil and natural gas weightings of 84 – 86%, royalty rates of 19 – 21%, corporate wellhead price differentials – oil of $1.00 – 1.50 per boe, net operating expenses of $6.85 – 7.15 per boe, transportation expenses of $4.00 – 4.50 per boe, general and administrative expenses of $1.30 – 1.45 per boe, interest expense of $2.70 – 3.10 per boe and income taxes as a % of adjusted funds flow before tax of 10 – 12%; 45% of capital in 2026 being allocated to Clearwater primary, 25% to Clearwater waterflood, 20% to Charlie Lake and 10% to de-risk, exploration and other; approximately 70% of the Company's 2026 capital investment program being dedicated to the Clearwater for ongoing primary development and waterflood expansion across the Nipisi, West Marten, Marten Hills and South Clearwater areas; waterflood investments being forecasted to be $100 million; expectations that expanded waterfloods investments will further accelerate decline mitigation and lower future reinvestment ratios longer term; expectations that the Company's 2026 capital investment program will deliver year-over-year production growth of ~3%; expectations that net operating expenses in 2026 will decline to ~$7.00 per boe; expectations that the Company will continue to drill industry leading wells with initial rates that meet or exceed type curve expectations; In addition, statements related to "reserves", "resources" and "recovery" are deemed to be forward-looking information as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates, that the resources can be discovered and profitably produced in the future.Future dividend payments and share buybacks, if any, and the level thereof, are uncertain, as the Company's return of capital framework and the funds available for such activities from time to time is dependent upon, among other things, free funds flow financial requirements for the Company's operations and the execution of its strategy, fluctuations in working capital and the timing and amount of capital expenditures, debt service requirements and other factors beyond the Company's control. Further, the ability of Tamarack to pay dividends and buyback shares will be subject to applicable laws (including the satisfaction of the solvency test contained in applicable corporate legislation) and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing its indebtedness, including its credit facility.The forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Tamarack, including those relating to: the business plan of Tamarack; execution of the Company's 2026 budget; the timing of and success of future drilling, conversion, development and completion activities; the geological characteristics of Tamarack's properties; prevailing commodity prices, price volatility, price differentials and the actual prices received for the Company's products; the realization of anticipated benefits of the Company's infrastructure, waterflood development program and recent acquisitions and divestitures; the availability and performance of drilling rigs, facilities, pipelines and other oilfield services; the timing of past operations and activities in the planned areas of focus; the performance of new and existing wells; the application of existing drilling and fracturing techniques; the Company's ability to secure sufficient amounts of water; prevailing weather and break-up conditions; royalty regimes and exchange rates; impact of inflation on costs; the application of regulatory and licensing requirements; the continued availability of capital and skilled personnel; the ability to maintain or grow the banking facilities; the accuracy of Tamarack's geological interpretation of its drilling and land opportunities, including the ability of seismic activity to enhance such interpretation; and Tamarack's ability to execute its plans and strategies.Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Tamarack can give no assurances that they may prove to be correct. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) that could cause actual events or outcomes to differ materially from those anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks with respect to unplanned third party pipeline outages and risks relating to inclement and severe weather events and natural disasters, such as fire, drought and flooding, including in respect of safety, asset integrity and shutting-in production; the risk that future dividend payments thereunder are reduced, suspended or cancelled; incorrect assessments of the value of benefits to be obtained from exploration and development programs; risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g. operational risks in development, exploration and production; and delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures); the risk that (i) the U.S. and Canadian governments maintain tariffs, increase the rate or scope of tariffs, or impose new tariffs on the import of goods from one country to the other, 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 by the U.S. on other countries and responses thereto 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; commodity prices, including the impact of the actions of OPEC and OPEC+ members; risks relating to reliance on third parties, including in respect of the Company's use of third-party infrastructure at Charlie Lake; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, cash generation, costs and expenses, including increased operating and capital costs due to inflationary pressures; health, safety, litigation and environmental risks; access to capital; and pandemics. In addition, ongoing military actions in Venezuela, the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine have the potential to threaten the supply of oil and gas from those regions. The long-term impacts of the actions between these nations remains uncertain. Due to the nature of the oil and natural gas industry, drilling plans and operational activities may be delayed or modified to respond to market conditions, results of past operations, regulatory approvals or availability of services causing results to be delayed. Please refer to the most recent annual information form and management's discussion and analysis of the Company, for additional risk factors relating to Tamarack, which can be accessed either on Tamarack's website at www.tamarackvalley.ca or under the Company's profile on www.sedarplus.ca. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included statements, except as required by law. The forward-looking statements contained herein are qualified by this cautionary statement.This news release contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about generating sustainable long-term growth in free funds flow, dividends, share buybacks and debt reduction, the 2026 capital budget of $390 - 410 million, guidance and budget pricing and allocation, including prospective results of operations, production (including annual average production of 69,000 – 71,000 boe/day, average oil and natural gas weightings of 84 – 86%, production growth of 3% and free funds flow, operating costs (including net operating expenses in 2026), balance sheet strength, and components thereof, all of which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the above paragraphs. FOFI contained in this document was approved by management as of the date of this document and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about Tamarack's future business operations. Tamarack and its management believe that FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments, and represent, to the best of management's knowledge and opinion, the Company's expected course of action. However, because this information is highly subjective, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results. Tamarack disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any FOFI contained in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required pursuant to applicable law. Readers are cautioned that the FOFI contained in this document should not be used for purposes other than for which it is disclosed herein. Changes in commodity prices, differences in the timing and allocation of capital expenditures, and variances in average production estimates can have a significant impact on the key performance measures included in Tamarack's guidance. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.Specified Financial MeasuresThis news release includes various specified financial measures, including non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS financial ratios, capital management measures and supplemental financial measures as further described herein. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other companies.Reserves per share is the Company's total crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves volumes for the applicable period divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the applicable period. Reserves per share growth is determined in comparison to the applicable comparative period. Debt-adjusted reserves per share is calculated as year end reserves divided by year end fully diluted shares plus the annual change in net debt divided by the average annual share price for 2025. Debt-adjusted reserves per share growth is determined in comparison to the year end reserves divided by year end fully diluted shares from the applicable comparative period.Net Operating Expenses (Non-IFRS Financial Measures, and Non-IFRS Financial Ratio if calculated on a per boe basis) is calculated as operating expenses less processing income. Tamarack generates processing income from third parties that utilize excess capacity at Tamarack's facilities. If Tamarack has excess capacity at one of its facilities, the Company will seek to process third-party volumes as a means of offsetting a portion of the facility costs. Accordingly, net operating expenses allow Tamarack and others to assess the profitability of field operating results by including the associated income generated from plant operations.Adjusted funds flow (capital management measure) is defined as cash provided by operating activities excluding asset retirement obligation expenditures, transaction costs and changes in non-cash working capital. Asset retirement obligation expenditures and transactions costs from business combinations both result from the Company's capital budgeting and strategic planning processes, which first considers available adjusted funds flow. Asset retirement obligation expenditures vary from period to period depending on capital programs, government regulations and the maturity of the Company's operating areas. By also excluding changes in non-cash working capital from cash provided by operating activities, the adjusted funds flow measure provides a meaningful metric for Tamarack and others by establishing a clear link between the Company's cash flows, income statement and operating netbacks by isolating the impact of changes in the timing between accrual and cash settlement dates, which can often be within management's control. Tamarack uses adjusted funds flow to assess the Company's financial performance and cash generated from operating activities.Free funds flow (capital management measure) is defined as adjusted funds flow less investments in oil and natural gas assets (excluding acquisitions and dispositions) and the settlement of asset retirement obligations. Management utilizes free funds flow to assess how much cash was generated in excess of the Company's capital investment and asset retirement programs within the same period, which can be utilized to reduce debt, fund acquisitions or return capital.Net debt (capital management measure) is calculated as the sum of the Company's debt, government loans and other, cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, cross-currency swap liability (asset), assets held for sale (net), accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Tamarack and others utilize net debt to assess liquidity and balance sheet strength by aggregating the select financial assets and financial liabilities on the Company's balance sheet.Adjusted EBITDA (capital management measure) is calculated as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, impairment losses, non-cash expenses, unrealized gains (losses) and other non-recurring items. Tamarack uses adjusted funds flow to assess financial performance. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA (capital management ratio) is calculated as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA and provides a measure of earnings relative to debt levels.Operating Netback equals total oil and natural gas sales, including realized gains and losses on commodity hedges, less royalties, net operating expenses and transportation expenses. Operating Field Netback equals total oil and natural gas sales, less royalties, net operating expenses and transportation expenses. These metrics can also be calculated on a per boe basis, which results in them being considered a non-IFRS financial ratio. Management considers operating netback and operating field netback important measures to evaluate performance by asset area by isolating the impact of corporate and other overhead related expenditures.Sustaining capital (supplementary financial measure) represents management's estimate of annual capital investments required to maintain corporate production at prior period levels. This measure allows Management and others to assess the approximate composition of Tamarack's annual capital investment programs and its corporate financial sustainability. Sustaining capital is also utilized to calculate the Company's free funds flow breakeven cost.Free funds flow breakeven cost (capital management measure) reflects the average minimum WTI price (US per bbl) received by Tamarack where adjusted funds flow net of the base dividend and sustaining capital requirements is approximately equivalent to zero, with sustained current hedged production levels and all other variables held constant. Management believes that free funds flow breakeven provides a useful measure to establish corporate financial sustainability.The calculation of Tamarack's free funds flow breakeven cost of US$35 per bbl was primarily determined by utilizing the ranges within budget assumptions included in the table on page 1 of this news release, other than for capital investments, which utilize the Company's sustaining capital requirements of $265.0 million under an assumed scaled-budget, break-even price scenario, and average royalty rates which would be expected to decline to 14 – 15% at WTI price of $35 per bbl. Other assumptions utilized by the Company to calculate the free funds flow breakeven cost includes annual dividends of $0.16 per share, hedging gains of $4.67 per boe and asset retirement obligation expenditures of $5.0 million.Total return to shareholders provides an estimate of the total return generated for shareholders on a percentage basis by aggregating certain select metrics consisting of production growth, dividends, share buybacks and net debt reduction (for a total return of 19% in 2025). The return from production growth is calculated as the year-over-year % change in production (6%), dividend growth is based on the yield during year relative to TVE's average market capitalization (3%), share buybacks is calculating as the number of shares purchased in the year divided by TVE's opening common share count (7%) and net debt reduction is based on the year-over-year net debt decline relative to TVE's average market capitalization (3%).Please refer to the management's discussion and analysis for additional information relating to specified financial measures including non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS financial ratios and capital management measures.
