2022 fund flows from operations ("FFO")(1) was a record $1.6 billion ($10.00/basic share)(2), representing a year-over year increase of 78%, including the impact of $406 million of realized hedging losses and $223 million of temporary European windfall taxes.
2022 exploration and development ("E&D") capital expenditures(3) were $552 million, resulting in record free cash flow ("FCF")(4) of $1.1 billion ($6.62/basic share)(5), representing a year-over-year increase of 99%, including the impact of hedging losses and temporary windfall taxes.
Record FCF in 2022 allowed us to fund over $500 million of strategic acquisitions, reduce net debt by over $300 million and return over $100 million to our shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. We exited the year with net debt(6) of $1.3 billion, resulting in a net debt to trailing FFO ratio(7) of 0.8 times at December 31, 2022.
Following the reinstatement of our quarterly dividend in Q1 2022 and the approval of a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") in Q3 2022, we declared $46 million in dividends and repurchased $72 million of Vermilion shares in 2022, representing 11% of FCF.

The after-tax net present value of 2P reserves(9), discounted at 10%, increased 36% from the prior year to $8.9 billion ($54.72/basic share), with proved developed producing ("PDP") reserves making up more than 50% of this value.
