Corporate Update

Improvements Through M&A; Differentiation Through Inventory & New Energy Opportunities

Outlook & Recommendation: We have provided a detailed operations update and have outlined Whitecap’s upcoming activity for the remainder of this year. Over the past two years, Whitecap has successfully completed several transactions that in conjunction with the increase in commodity prices have significantly improved the base business and free cash flow profile of the company. Whitecap has utilized M&A to further enhance its base business by adding significant inventory and growth potential in the Montney through the XTO transaction. Upon achieving its near-term net debt thresholds, the company plans to further enhance shareholder returns and will ultimately pay out 75% of free cash flow to shareholders (we estimate by mid-2023 at current strip). Additionally, Whitecap continues to advance its various New Energy initiatives through leveraging its Weyburn expertise (evidenced with the Alberta CCUS project and five Saskatchewan MOUs), which differentiates the company from its peers and provides potential upside to the current valuation. We maintain our Sector Outperform recommendation, with a 12-month target price of $16.00 per share. Our target price is based on the combination of a 2023E EV/DACF multiple of ~5 times, a DAFCF yield of ~12%, and is a discount to our risked PAV of ~$19/share.
