Peyto Reports Record Funds from Operations and Dividend Increase

08/05/2013 9:30pm

Marketwired Canada


Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. ("Peyto") (TSX:PEY) is pleased to present
its operating and financial results for the first quarter of the 2013 fiscal
year. Peyto's production per share grew for the fourteenth consecutive quarter
with first quarter operating margins of 77%(1) and profit margins of 27%(2).
First quarter 2013 highlights were as follows:




--  Production per share up 26%. First quarter 2013 production increased 35%
    (26% per share) from 245 MMcfe/d (40,903 boe/d) in Q1 2012 to 332
    MMcfe/d (55,372 boe/d) in Q1 2013.

--  Funds from operations of $0.69/share. Generated a company record $103
    million in Funds from Operations ("FFO") in Q1 2013 up 32% (23% per
    share) from $78 million in Q1 2012 due to increased production volumes.

--  Operating costs less than $2/boe. Industry leading operating costs were
    further reduced from $0.33/mcfe ($1.96/boe) in Q1 2012 to $0.31/mcfe
    ($1.87/boe) in Q1 2013. Total cash costs, including royalties, operating
    costs, transportation, G&A and interest were $1.02/mcfe ($6.10/boe),
    resulting in a $3.44/mcfe ($20.64/boe) cash netback or 77% operating
    margin.

--  Capital investment of $169 million. An organic capital program of $169
    million was executed in the quarter resulting in production additions of
    10,300 boe/d at quarter end. The annualized cost (trailing twelve
    months) to build new production was $18,900/boe/d (including capital for
    Peyto's enhanced liquids extraction facilities but excluding the Open
    Range acquisition). A total of 31 gross wells were drilled during the
    first quarter.

--  Earnings of $0.25/share, dividends of $0.18/share. Earnings of $36
    million were generated in the quarter while dividends of $27 million
    were paid to shareholders, representing a before tax payout ratio of 26%
    of FFO.

--  Dividend increase to $0.08/share. The Board of Directors has approved a
    dividend increase of $0.02/share, starting in May 2013, to be paid on
    June 14, 2013 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2013.

(1) Operating Margin is defined as funds from operations divided by revenue 
    before royalties but including realized hedging gains/losses.           
(2) Profit Margin is defined as net earnings for the quarter divided by     
    revenue before royalties but including realized hedging gains/losses.   
Natural gas volumes recorded in thousand cubic feet (mcf) are converted to  
barrels of oil equivalent (boe) using the ratio of six (6) thousand cubic   
feet to one (1) barrel of oil (bbl). Natural gas liquids and oil volumes in 
barrel of oil (bbl) are converted to thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe)  
using a ratio of one (1) barrel of oil to six (6) thousand cubic feet. This 
could be misleading, particularily if used in isolation as it is based on an
energy equivalency conversion method primarily applied at the burner tip and
does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.                     



First Quarter 2013 in Review

The first quarter of 2013 was a continuation from the fourth quarter of 2012,
with record levels of capital invested into the exploration and development of
Peyto's Deep Basin resource plays. As a result, production continued to grow
throughout the quarter while a strict focus on maintaining industry leading cash
costs ensured funds from operations also grew proportionately. Peyto's realized
natural gas prices were similar to the first quarter of 2012, although less
supported by hedging gains, while realized liquids prices were down 10%. Despite
the improvement in underlying natural gas prices, North American drilling
activity did not increase, allowing Peyto to continue building and developing
new production at its industry leading capital efficiencies. The enhanced
liquids extraction facilities at Peyto's Oldman gas plant became fully
operational at the start of the quarter, achieving the designed process
temperatures and additional liquid recoveries, and thus increasing the price
Peyto realizes for its production stream. Subsequent to the quarter, Peyto
replaced its secured borrowing base revolving bank facility with an unsecured
covenant based facility with 37% greater borrowing capacity. This new credit
facility gives Peyto the ability to pursue even more opportunities at a lower
cost of capital. At quarter end, 65% of the new borrowing capacity of $1.15
billion was utilized resulting in a net debt to annualized FFO ratio of 1.8
times. The strong financial and operating performance delivered in the quarter
resulted in an annualized 12% Return on Equity (ROE) and 10% Return on Capital
Employed (ROCE).

(1) Funds from operations - Management uses funds from operations to analyze
    the operating performance of its energy assets. In order to facilitate  
    comparative analysis, funds from operations is defined throughout this  
    report as earnings before performance based compensation, non-cash and  
    non-recurring expenses. Management believes that funds from operations  
    is an important parameter to measure the value of an asset when combined
    with reserve life. Funds from operations is not a measure recognized by 
    Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and does not 
    have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, funds from   
    operations, as defined by Peyto, may not be comparable to similar       
    measures presented by other issuers, and investors are cautioned that   
    funds from operations should not be construed as an alternative to net  
    earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of      
    financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Funds from    
    operations cannot be assured and future distributions may vary.         



Exploration & Development 

Peyto continued to explore and develop many of its liquids rich, sweet gas
resource plays in the Deep Basin throughout the first quarter of 2013. A total
of 31 wells were drilled across the land base, targeting the many prospective
zones, as shown in the following table:




                                     Field

The majority of the activity focused on the Notikewin, Falher and Wilrich
formations of the Spirit River group. Despite the lower natural gas liquids
yields from these deeper Spirit River formations, economic returns were still
determined to be greater due to the improved natural gas prices combined with
greater productivity and recoveries.


In particular, considerable development occurred in the Falher formation where
Peyto has now drilled 38 horizontal wells since the start of 2012 and sees
significant unbooked drilling inventory that can continue to be proven. Drilling
costs in the Falher to date have averaged $2.6 million/well, while completion
costs have averaged $1.6 million/well. 


In addition, Peyto has drilled a total of six Bluesky horizontal wells since the
second quarter of 2012, helping to prove up substantial existing and future
inventory in this formation. To date, Bluesky drilling and completion costs have
averaged $2.9 million/well and $1.6 million/well, respectively. 


Overall, Peyto continues to validate an ever greater inventory of profitable
drilling locations within the numerous formations across its Deep Basin lands. 


Capital Expenditures 

During the first quarter of 2013, Peyto spent $75.5 million to spud 31 gross
(28.3 net) horizontal wells and $41.2 million completing 25 gross (23.5 net)
wells. Wellsite equipment and tie-ins accounted for $14.6 million, while a total
of $36.0 million was invested in new pipelines and facilities including the
balance of capital for the Oldman gas plant Deep Cut equipment. New lands were
acquired for $0.8 million, or $373/acre, while new seismic accounted for $1.0
million. 


In the quarter, 25 gross (23.1 net) wells were brought onstream which
contributed 10,300 boe/d to the quarter end exit rate of 59,000 boe/d. Pipeline
and facility capital of $36.0 million included the addition of one compressor
each to the Wildhay and Nosehill gas plants; the construction of a strategically
located 47 km pipeline from Peyto's Ansell property to its Swanson gas plant;
the installation of natural gas fired power generation equipment at the Oldman
gas plant; and the completion of the Oldman natural gas liquids ("NGLs")
extraction facilities. These newly installed Deep Cut facilities are performing
as designed, achieving process temperatures ranging from -75C to -80C and
recovering an additional 12 to 15 bbl of high value NGLs per MMcf of sales gas. 


Financial Results 

Alberta monthly natural gas prices averaged $2.91/GJ in the first quarter 2013,
resulting in a Peyto unhedged realized price of $3.31/mcf before hedging gains
of $0.18/mcf. Meanwhile, Edmonton light oil prices averaged $88.60/bbl from
which Peyto realized $75.72/bbl, before hedging gains of $0.16/bbl, for its
natural gas liquids blend of condensate, pentane, butane and propane. Combined,
Peyto's unhedged revenues totaled $4.30/mcfe ($4.46/mcfe including hedging
gains), or 153% of the dry gas price, illustrating the benefit of high heat
content, liquids rich natural gas production.


Royalties of $0.36/mcfe, operating costs of $0.31/mcfe, transportation costs of
$0.12/mcfe, G&A of $0.02/mcfe and interest costs of $0.21/mcfe, combined for
total cash costs of $1.02/mcfe. These industry leading total cash costs resulted
in a cash netback of $3.44/mcfe or a 77% operating margin.


Depletion, depreciation and amortization charges of $1.73/mcfe, along with a
provision for future tax and market based bonus payments reduced the cash
netback to earnings of $1.22/mcfe, or a 27% profit margin.


Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, Peyto's $730 million credit facility
was reviewed and the annual secured revolver was replaced by a $1.0 billion, two
year, covenant based unsecured revolver. This increase in borrowing capacity was
a reflection of the 2012 growth in volume and value of Peyto's Proved Producing
reserves, as well as a reflection of the company's efficiency with which
reserves are developed, produced and sold. The unsecured revolver contains the
same financial covenants as the previous secured revolver (see the Management's
Discussion & Analysis for a description of the covenants). Including the $150
million of senior unsecured notes, Peyto's total borrowing capacity increased to
$1.15 billion.


Marketing 

The first quarter 2013 AECO daily natural gas prices were 50% higher than the
same period in 2012 due to a more balanced supply demand situation in North
America coupled with more typical winter weather. March weather, however, was
colder than normal and resulted in record volumes of gas being withdrawn from
storage reservoirs, further driving up the natural gas price in both the US and
Canada.


Despite this recovery in current natural gas prices, the price offered for
future supplies has not increased materially since a year ago. AECO and NYMEX
futures up to five years out are only 20% higher than today's price, indicating
that natural gas supplies in North America, including those in the prolific US
shale plays, will be sufficient to meet current demand growth projections. 


The company's hedging practice of layering in future sales in the form of fixed
price swaps, in order to smooth out the volatility in natural gas price,
continued throughout the quarter. As at March 31, 2013, Peyto had committed to
the future sale of 82,627,500 gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas at an average price
of $3.23/GJ or $3.71/mcf, based on Peyto's historical heat content. As at May 8,
2013, the remaining hedged volumes and prices for the upcoming years are
summarized in the following table.

Activity Update 

Peyto has concluded all of its drilling and completion activities leading up to
this year's spring break-up period. Current production levels have ranged from
60,000 to 61,000 boe/d with new 2013 wells contributing 13,000 boe/d. 


During April, 10 gross wells (9.5 net) were completed and brought onstream.
Additionally, 6 gross wells (5.5 net) have finished drilling and await
completion and/or tie in which will occur after break-up. Two wells were
suspended at an intermediate stage of drilling operations due to spring
break-up. Resumption of drilling, completion and tie in activity is anticipated
for the last week of May. 


The estimated production additions for the 6 wells awaiting completion and/or
tie in, as well as one other previously drilled well in a new area, amount to
greater than 5,000 boe/d. 


Peyto is planning for the continuation of an active 10 rig drilling program
after the breakup period. In order to accommodate the growth in production
anticipated from this activity, equipment is currently being fabricated for
three key facility projects. The first includes a new gas plant adjacent to the
Oldman facility (Oldman North) that is being designed for an eventual 80 MMcf/d
of capacity by the end of 2014. The facility will be brought on with initial
compression totalling 30 MMcf/d and with an estimated start-up of September,
2013. The second is a 30 MMcf/d expansion to Peyto's Swanson gas plant which has
been filled to its current 30 MMcf/d capacity over Q1 of this year. The
estimated timing for that project is also September/October of 2013. The final
facility project is a new plant contemplated for startup at the end of 2013 in a
new area of development. It is being built for an initial capacity of
approximately 20 MMcf/d but is fully expandable with continued development
drilling success. 


Dividend Increase 

In keeping with Peyto's total return model, profitable growth in the Company's
assets should ultimately yield growth in sustainable dividends for shareholders.
Since the conversion back to a dividend paying, growth corporation at the end of
2010, when the current $0.06/month dividend rate was set, Peyto has increased
production per share by 70% and grown proved plus probable additional reserves
per share by over 30%. Over the same period, and despite lower natural gas
prices, funds from operations per share also increased 30%. The strength of the
Company's balance sheet has also improved over that time, with greater access to
capital and at a lower cost, ensuring future capital programs can continue to be
adequately funded. 


Based on this recent profitable growth and financial strength, the Board of
Directors of Peyto has approved a $0.02/share increase to the monthly dividend
starting in May 2013. 


Outlook 

With the largest capital program in the company's history well underway, 2013
looks to be another record breaking year for Peyto. Near term natural gas prices
have improved, driving returns on this capital even higher, while at the same
time industry activity remains low, keeping costs down and ensuring services are
readily available. Peyto's low cost advantage, which yields high operating and
profit margins, ensures the growth in assets resulting from this capital program
is profitable growth. Peyto's disciplined, returns driven, low cost strategy
continues to reward investors willing to look beyond just the natural gas
commodity to a profitable energy business with a clear vision for the future.

Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. 

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

As at March 31, 2013 and 2012 

(Amount in $ thousands, except as otherwise noted)



1.  Nature of operations



Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. ("Peyto" or the "Company") is a Calgary
based oil and natural gas company. Peyto conducts exploration, development and
production activities in Canada. Peyto is incorporated and domiciled in the
Province of Alberta, Canada. The address of its registered office is 1500, 250 -
2nd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 0C1.


On December 31, 2012, Peyto completed an amalgamation with its wholly-owned
subsidiary Open Range Energy Corp. pursuant to section 184(1) of the Business
Corporations Act (Alberta). Following the amalgamation, Peyto does not have any
subsidiaries.


These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the
Audit Committee of Peyto on May 7, 2013.




2.  Basis of presentation



The condensed financial statements have been prepared by management and reported
in Canadian dollars in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS")
34, "Interim Financial Reporting". These condensed financial statements do not
include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. 


Significant Accounting Policies 

(a) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions 

The timely preparation of the condensed financial statements requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingencies, if any, as at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
period. By their nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and
changes in such estimates in future years could require a material change in the
condensed financial statements.


Except as disclosed below, all accounting policies and methods of computation
followed in the preparation of these financial statements are the same as those
disclosed in Note 2 of Peyto's consolidated financial statements as at and for
the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. 


(b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing
standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) that are
mandatory for accounting periods beginning January 1, 2013 or later periods. The
affected standards are consistent with those disclosed in Peyto's consolidated
financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. 


Peyto adopted the following standards on January 1, 2013: 

IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements; supercedes IAS 27 "Consolidation
and Separate Financial Statements" and SIC-12 "Consolidation - Special Purpose
Entities". This standard provides a single model to be applied in control
analysis for all investees including special purpose entities. This standard
became applicable on January 1, 2013. Peyto adopted the standard on January 1,
2013, with no impact on Peyto's financial position or results of operations.


IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements; requires a venturer to classify its interest in a
joint arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. Joint ventures will be
accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas joint operations
will require the venturer to recognize its share of the assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenses. This standard became applicable on January 1, 2013. Peyto
adopted the standard on January 1, 2013, with no impact on Peyto's financial
position or results of operations.


IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities; establishes disclosure
requirements for interests in other entities, such as joint arrangements,
associates, special purpose vehicles and off-balance-sheet vehicles. The
standard carries forward existing disclosure and also introduces significant
additional disclosure requirements that address the nature of, and risks
associated with, an entity's interests in other entities. This standard became
effective for Peyto on January 1, 2013. Peyto adopted the standard on January 1,
2013, with no impact on Peyto's financial position or results of operations.


IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement; defines fair value, sets out a single IFRS
framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosure about fair value
measurements. IFRS 13 applies to accounting standards that require or permit
fair value measurements or disclosure about fair value measurements (and
measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or
disclosure about those measurements), except in specified circumstances. IFRS 13
became applicable on January 1, 2013. Peyto adopted the standard on January 1,
2013, with no impact on Peyto's financial position or results of operations.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



As at March 31, 2013, the Company had a syndicated $730 million extendible
revolving credit facility with a stated term date of April 28, 2013. The bank
facility is made up of a $30 million working capital sub-tranche and a $700
million production line. The facilities are available on a revolving basis for a
period of at least 364 days and upon the term out date may be extended for a
further 364 day period at the request of the Company, subject to approval by the
lenders. In the event that the revolving period is not extended, the facility is
available on a non-revolving basis for a further one year term, at the end of
which time the facility would be due and payable. Outstanding amounts on this
facility will bear interest at rates ranging from prime plus 1.0% to prime plus
2.5% determined by the Company's debt to earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA) ratios ranging from less than
1:1 to greater than 2.5:1. A General Security Agreement with a floating charge
on land registered in Alberta is held as collateral by the bank.


Subsequent to March 31, 2013, Peyto has entered into a syndicated two year,
unsecured, covenant based revolving credit facility in the amount of $1 billion
with a stated term date of April 26, 2015. The note purchase agreement
(discussed below) was amended and restated to reflect removal of security on the
Senior Notes. 


On January 3, 2012, Peyto issued CDN $100 million of senior secured notes
pursuant to a note purchase and private shelf agreement. The notes were issued
by way of private placement and rank equally with Peyto's obligations under its
bank facility. The notes have a coupon rate of 4.39% and mature on January 3,
2019. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears. 


On September 6, 2012, Peyto issued CDN $50 million of senior secured notes
pursuant to a note purchase and private shelf agreement. The notes were issued
by way of private placement and rank equally with Peyto's obligations under its
bank facility. The notes have a coupon rate of 4.88% and mature on September 6,
2022. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears. 


Upon the issuance of the senior secured notes January 3, 2012, Peyto became
subject to the following financial covenants as defined in the credit facility
and note purchase and private shelf agreements:




--  Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio will not exceed 3.0 to 1.0  
--  Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio will not exceed 4.0 to 1.0  
--  Interest Coverage Ratio will not be less than 3.0 to 1.0 
--  Total Debt to Capitalization Ratio will not exceed 0.55:1.0



Peyto is in compliance with all financial covenants at March 31, 2013.

Total interest expense for the period ended March 31, 2013 was $6.3 million
(2012 - $5.1 million) and the average borrowing rate for the period was 4.0%
(2012 - 4.5%). 




5.  Decommissioning provision



Peyto makes provision for the future cost of decommissioning wells, pipelines
and facilities on a discounted basis based on the commissioning of these assets.


The decommissioning provision represents the present value of the
decommissioning costs related to the above infrastructure, which are expected to
be incurred over the economic life of the assets. The provisions have been based
on Peyto's internal estimates of the cost of decommissioning, the discount rate,
the inflation rate and the economic life of the infrastructure. Assumptions,
based on the current economic environment, have been made which management
believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability.
These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes
to the assumptions. However, actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend
upon the future market prices for the necessary decommissioning work required
which will reflect market conditions at the relevant time. Furthermore, the
timing of the decommissioning is likely to depend on when production activities
ceases to be economically viable. This in turn will depend and be directly
related to the current and future commodity prices, which are inherently
uncertain.


The following table reconciles the change in decommissioning provision:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Peyto has estimated the net present value of its total decommissioning provision
to be $58.5 million as at March 31, 2013 ($58.2 million at December 31, 2012)
based on a total future undiscounted liability of $134.8 million ($127.9 million
at December 31, 2012). At March 31, 2013 management estimates that these
payments are expected to be made over the next 50 years with the majority of
payments being made in years 2041 to 2062. The Bank of Canada's long term bond
rate of 2.50 per cent (2.36 per cent at December 31, 2012) and an inflation rate
of two per cent (two per cent at December 31, 2012) were used to calculate the
present value of the decommissioning provision.

On March 19, 2013, Peyto completed a private placement of 85,660 common shares
to employees and consultants for net proceeds of $2.2 million ($26.65 per

Per share amounts 

Earnings per share or unit have been calculated based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period ended March 31, 2013 of
148,672,664 (2012 - 138,312,078). There are no dilutive instruments outstanding.


Dividends 

During the period ended March 31, 2013, Peyto declared and paid dividends of
$0.18 per common share or $0.06 per common share per month, totaling $26.8
million (2012 - $0.18 or $0.06 per share per month, $24.9 million). 


Comprehensive income 

Comprehensive income consists of earnings and other comprehensive income
("OCI"). OCI comprises the change in the fair value of the effective portion of
the derivatives used as hedging items in a cash flow hedge. "Accumulated other
comprehensive income" is an equity category comprised of the cumulative amounts
of OCI.


Accumulated hedging gains 

Gains and losses from cash flow hedges are accumulated until settled. These
outstanding hedging contracts are recognized in earnings on settlement with
gains and losses being recognized as a component of net revenue. Further
information on these contracts is set out in Note 8. 




7.  Future performance based compensation



Peyto awards performance based compensation to employees annually. The
performance based compensation is comprised of reserve and market value based
components.


Reserve based component 

The reserves value based component is 4% of the incremental increase in value,
if any, as adjusted to reflect changes in debt, equity, dividends, general and
administrative costs and interest, of proved producing reserves calculated using
a constant price at December 31 of the current year and a discount rate of 8%. 


Market based component 

Under the market based component, rights with a three year vesting period are
allocated to employees. The number of rights outstanding at any time is not to
exceed 6% of the total number of common shares outstanding. At December 31 of
each year, all vested rights are automatically cancelled and, if applicable,
paid out in cash. Compensation is calculated as the number of vested rights
multiplied by the total of the market appreciation (over the price at the date
of grant) and associated dividends of a common share for that period.


The fair values were calculated using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The
principal inputs to the option valuation model were:

8.  Financial instruments



Financial instrument classification and measurement 

Financial instruments of the Company carried on the condensed balance sheet are
carried at amortized cost with the exception of cash and financial derivative
instruments, specifically fixed price contracts, which are carried at fair
value. There are no significant differences between the carrying amount of
financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at March 31, 2013.


The Company's areas of financial risk management and risks related to financial
instruments remained unchanged from December 31, 2012.


The fair value of the Company's cash and financial derivative instruments are
quoted in active markets. The Company classifies the fair value of these
transactions according to the following hierarchy.




--  Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical financial
    instruments. 
--  Level 2 - quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets;
    quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are
    not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs
    and significant and significant value drivers are observable in active
    markets. 
--  Level 3 - valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or
    more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.



The Company's cash and financial derivative instruments have been assessed on
the fair value hierarchy described above and classified as Level 1.


Fair values of financial assets and liabilities 

The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, financial
derivative instruments, due from private placement, current liabilities,
provision for future performance based compensation and long term debt. At March
31, 2013, cash and financial derivative instruments are carried at fair value.
Accounts receivable, due from private placement, current liabilities and
provision for future performance based compensation approximate their fair value
due to their short term nature. The carrying value of the long term debt
approximates its fair value due to the floating rate of interest charged under
the credit facility.


Commodity price risk management 

Peyto uses derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in
commodity prices. Peyto considers all of these transactions to be effective
economic hedges for accounting purposes. 


Following is a summary of all risk management contracts in place as at March 31,
2013:

As at March 31, 2013, Peyto had committed to the future sale of 288,000 barrels
of propane at an average price of $34.61 per barrel and 82,627,500 gigajoules
(GJ) of natural gas at an average price of $3.23 per GJ or $3.71 per mcf. Had
these contracts been closed on March 31, 2013, Peyto would have realized a loss
in the amount of $25.2 million. If the AECO gas price on March 31, 2013 were to
increase by $1/GJ, the unrealized loss would increase by approximately $82.6
million. An opposite change in commodity prices rates would result in an
opposite impact on other comprehensive income. 


Subsequent to March 31, 2013 Peyto entered into the following contracts:
