| Baytex + Ranger Quality North American Oil-Weighted E&P ____________ February 28, 2023 • Quality Scale • Significant Accretion • Broadens & Extends Inventory • More Resilient Business • Enhances Shareholder Return • Introducing a Dividend |
| 3 Quality Scale and Resiliency “Baytex has a high quality and diversified oil portfolio in both Canada and the Eagle Ford in Texas. With more than 10 years of projected development inventory in each of our core areas, our objective is to deliver modest and reliable annual production growth organically and generate meaningful free cash flow while maintaining reasonable financial leverage. We are committed to building an even stronger and more resilient business over time to increase shareholder value and enhance direct shareholder returns on a per-share basis. We view our extensive position in Canada and the Eagle Ford as core to our ongoing business. We are building an even stronger Canadian energy company with a high-quality diversified oil-weighted portfolio across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and the Eagle Ford.” “The Ranger acquisition is strategic. We are acquiring a strong operating capability in the Eagle Ford, on-trend with our non-operated position in the Karnes Trough and driving meaningful per-share accretion on all metrics. The transaction more than doubles our EBITDA and nearly doubles our free cash flow. The Ranger inventory immediately competes for capital in our portfolio and brings 12-15 years of quality oil-weighted drilling opportunities. We are building quality scale and a more durable business with a lower break-even WTI price. We are committed to enhancing direct shareholder returns, and through this transaction, we are returning more value to our shareholders on a per-share basis. Upon closing of this transaction, we intend to initiate a dividend, which will be a key means of delivering reliable value to shareholders going forward.” “I couldn’t be more proud of the Ranger team and the company we’ve built together. We expect that combining with the balance sheet strength, deep asset base, and operational excellence of Baytex will create a unique company of scale which will deliver sustained free cash flow growth and differentiated shareholder returns. We look forward to bringing together our complementary teams and assets to realize the long-term value of this combination for our shareholders.” “This transaction represents a leap forward in shareholder value creation potential and accelerates both companies’ shareholder return strategies. We expect this combination will create a company that is exceptionally positioned for sustained shareholder returns.” Eric T. Greager President and Chief Executive Officer, Baytex Energy Darrin Henke Chief Executive Officer, Ranger Oil Edward Geiser Chairman, Ranger Oil Board of Directors Managing Partner, Juniper Capital |

Such financial outlook or f uture oriented f inancial inf ormation is prov ided f or the purpose of prov iding inf ormation about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the f uture. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such inf ormation may not be appropriate f or other circumstances. In the interest of prov iding the shareholders of Bay tex and potential inv estors with inf ormation regarding Bay tex, including management's assessment of f uture plans and operations, certain statements in this presentation are "f orward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Priv ate Securities Litigation Ref orm Act of 1995 and "f orward-looking inf ormation" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively , "f orward-looking statements"). In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identif ied by terminology such as "anticipate", "believ e", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "f orecast", "intend", "may ", "objectiv e", "ongoing", "outlook", "potential", "project", "plan", "should", "target", "would", "will" or similar words suggesting f uture outcomes, ev ents or perf ormance. The f orward-looking statements contained in this presentation peak only as of the date hereof and are expressly qualif ied by this cautionary statement. Specif ically, this presentation contains f orward-looking statements relating to but not limited to: the Acquisition, the expected closing of the Acquisition and the timing thereof ; the expected f inancial eff ects of the Acquisition, including the expected accretion to adjusted f unds f low, f ree cash f low and production, the expected impact on break-ev en price, our debt lev els and lev erage ratio, the expected impact on EBITDA and expected single-well IRRs and pay backs; the expected operational impacts of the Acquisition, including the number of locations to be drilled and the lev el of oil and natural gas production f rom wells on the acquired acreage; and expected plans as a result of the transaction, including increasing direct shareholder returns to 50% of f ree cash flow, instituting a div idend, maintaining or increasing share buy backs and anticipated changes to our management team and Board of Directors. In addition, inf ormation and statements relating to reserv es are deemed to be f orward-looking statements, as they inv olv e implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserv es described exist in quantities predicted or estimated, and that they can be prof itably produced in the f uture. Forward Looking Statements Advisory |
| 22 Forward Looking Statements Advisory (Cont.) These f orward-looking statements are based on certain key assumptions regarding, among other things: the consummation and success of the Acquisition and our ability to successf ully integrate the acquired business into our existing operations; petroleum and natural gas prices and differentials between light, medium and heavy oil prices; well production rates and reserv e v olumes; the ability to add production and reserv es through exploration and dev elopment activ ities; capital expenditure lev els; the ability to borrow under credit agreements; the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approv als f or operating activ ities; the av ailability and cost of labour and other industry serv ices; interest and f oreign exchange rates; the continuance of existing and, in certain circumstances, proposed tax and roy alty regimes; the ability to dev elop crude oil and natural gas properties in the manner currently contemplated; and current industry conditions, laws and regulations continuing in eff ect (or, where changes are proposed, such changes being adopted as anticipated). Readers are cautioned that such assumptions, although considered reasonable by Bay tex at the time of preparation, may prov e to be incorrect. Actual results achiev ed will v ary f rom the inf ormation prov ided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other f actors. Such f actors include, but are not limited to: the v olatility of oil and natural gas prices and price diff erentials (including the impacts of rising macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, including adv erse dev elopments aff ecting the f inancial serv ices industry , Russia’s inv asion of Ukraine, and Cov id-19); restrictions or costs imposed by climate change initiativ es and the physical risks of climate change; risks associated with our ability to dev elop our properties and add reserv es; the impact of an energy transition on demand f or petroleum productions; changes in income tax or other laws or gov ernment incentiv e programs; av ailability and cost of gathering, processing and pipeline sy stems; retaining or replacing our leadership and key personnel; the av ailability and cost of capital or borrowing; risks associated with a third-party operating our Eagle Ford properties; risks associated with large projects; costs to dev elop and operate our properties; public perception and its inf luence on the regulatory regime; current or future control, legislation or regulations; new regulations on hy draulic f racturing; restrictions on or access to water or other f luids; regulations regarding the disposal of fluids; risks associated with our hedging activ ities; the impact of elev ated lev els of inf lation and gov ernment policies aimed at reducing them, such as increasing interest rates; v ariations in interest rates and f oreign exchange rates; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserv es; our inability to f ully insure against all risks; additional risks associated with our thermal heavy oil projects; our ability to compete with other organizations in the oil and gas industry; risks associated with our use of inf ormation technology sy stems; results of litigation; that our credit f acilities may not prov ide suff icient liquidity or may not be renewed; f ailure to comply with the cov enants in our debt agreements; risks of counterparty def ault; the impact of Indigenous claims; risks associated with expansion into new activ ities; risks associated with the ownership of our securities, including changes in market-based f actors; risks f or United States and other non-resident shareholders, including the ability to enf orce civil remedies, diff ering practices f or reporting reserv es and production, additional taxation applicable to non-residents and f oreign exchange risk; and other f actors, many of which are bey ond our control. These and additional risk f actors are discussed in our Annual Inf ormation Form, Annual Report on Form 40-F and Management's Discussion and Analy sis f or y ear ended December 31, 2022, filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in our other public f ilings. The abov e summary of assumptions and risks related to f orward-looking statements has been prov ided in order to prov ide shareholders and potential inv estors with a more complete perspectiv e on Bay tex’s current and f uture operations and such inf ormation may not be appropriate f or other purposes. We hav e not risked potential drilling locations, and actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recov ered may differ substantially from estimates. We make no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations that hav e been identif ied. Factors aff ecting ultimate recov ery include the scope of our on‐going drilling program, which will be directly aff ected by the av ailability of capital, drilling, and production costs, av ailability of drilling and completion serv ices and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, regulatory approv als, and geological and mechanical f actors. Estimates of reserv es, ty pe/decline curv es, EURs, per‐well economics, and resource potential may change signif icantly as dev elopment of our oil and gas assets prov ides additional data. Additionally , internal rates of return disclosed in this presentation are calculated solely based on drilling and completion costs per well and lease operating expenses and do not include other costs such as land acquisition costs, general and administrativ e expenses, or other costs and expenses. Additionally , initial production rates are subject to decline ov er time and should not be ref lectiv e of sustained production lev els. |

| 26 Advisory Regarding Oil and Gas Information The reserv es inf ormation contained in this presentation has been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 -Standards of Disclosure f or Oil and Gas Activities of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 51-101"). The determination of oil and gas reserv es inv olv es the preparation of estimates that hav e an inherent degree of associated uncertainty . Categories of prov ed and probable reserv es hav e been established to ref lect the lev el of these uncertainties and to prov ide an indication of the probability of recov ery . The estimation and classif ication of reserv es requires the application of prof essional judgment combined with geological and engineering knowledge to assess whether or not specif ic reserv es classif ication criteria hav e been satisf ied. Knowledge of concepts, including uncertainty and risk, probability and statistics, and deterministic and probabilistic estimation methods, is required to properly use and apply reserv es def initions. The recov ery and reserv es estimates described herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserv es will be recov ered. Actual reserv es and future production from such reserv es may be greater or less than the estimates prov ided herein. The estimates of reserv es f or indiv idual properties may not ref lect the same conf idence lev el as estimates of reserv es f or all properties, due to the eff ects of aggregation. Complete NI 51-101 reserv es disclosure f or y ear-end 2021 is included in our Annual Inf ormation Form f or the y ear ended December 31, 2021 which will be f iled with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission no later than March 31, 2022. This presentation discloses drilling inv entory and potential drilling locations. Drilling inv entory and drilling locations ref ers to Bay tex’s total prov ed, probable and unbooked locations. Prov ed locations and probable locations account f or drilling locations in our inv entory that hav e associated prov ed and/or probable reserv es. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on our prospectiv e acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal rev iew. Unbooked locations do not hav e attributed reserv es. Unbooked locations are f arther away f rom existing wells and, theref ore, there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty whether such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserv es, resources or production. In the Eagle Ford, Baytex’s net drilling locations include 129 prov ed and 58 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 37 unbooked locations. In the Viking, Bay tex’s net drilling locations include 936 prov ed and 222 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 490 unbooked locations. In Peace Riv er (including Clearwater), Baytex’s net drilling locations include 61 prov ed and 37 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 334 unbooked locations. In Lloy dminster, Baytex’s net drilling locations include 82 prov ed and 63 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 423 unbooked locations. In the Duv ernay , Bay tex’s net drilling locations include 17 prov ed and 12 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 231 unbooked locations. Ref erences herein to av erage 30-day initial production rates and other short-term production rates are usef ul in conf irming the presence of hy drocarbons, howev er, such rates are not determinativ e of the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicativ e of long term perf ormance or of ultimate recov ery . While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating aggregate production for us or the assets f or which such rates are prov ided. A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out in respect of all wells. Accordingly , we caution that the test results should be considered to be preliminary . Where applicable, oil equiv alent amounts hav e been calculated using a conv ersion rate of six thousand cubic f eet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conv ersion ratio of six thousand cubic f eet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equiv alency conv ersion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a v alue equiv alency at the wellhead. Notice to United States Readers The petroleum and natural gas reserv es contained in this presentation hav e generally been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States or other f oreign disclosure standards. For example, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") requires oil and gas issuers, in their f ilings with the SEC, to disclose only "prov ed reserv es", but permits the optional disclosure of "probable reserv es" (as def ined in SEC rules). Canadian securities laws require oil and gas issuers disclose their reserv es in accordance with NI 51-101, which requires disclosure of not only "prov ed reserv es" but also "probable reserv es". Additionally, NI 51-101 def ines "prov ed reserv es“ and "probable reserv es" diff erently f rom the SEC rules. Accordingly , prov ed and probable reserv es disclosed in this presentation may not be comparable to United States standards. Probable reserv es are higher risk and are generally believ ed to be less likely to be accurately estimated or recov ered than prov ed reserv es. In addition, under Canadian disclosure requirements and industry practice, reserv es and production are reported using gross v olumes, which are v olumes prior to deduction of roy alty and similar pay ments.
