Q3 2025 Review

Greenfire's average production for Q3 2025 was 15,757 bbls/d, similar to the 15,748 bbls/d reported in Q2 2025, and below the 19,125 bbls/d reported in Q3 2024.

• Expansion Asset: Production in Q3 2025 was 10,404 bbls/d, reflecting a 3% increase from the previous quarter. The production increase was driven by the optimization of base well performance despite downtime associated with the previously disclosed failure of one of the four steam generators at the Expansion Asset.

• Demo Asset: Production in Q3 2025 was 5,353 bbls/d, representing a 5% decrease from the previous quarter. This reduction was the result of the planned turnaround at the Demo Asset in September 2025.

Hangingstone Facilities: Bitumen Production Results

Capital expenditures for Q3 2025 totaled $17.9 million, compared to $21.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow was $20.2 million for Q3 2025, as compared to $22.9 million in Q3 2024.

Operational Update

Production and Steam Generation Updates: Greenfire's October 2025 consolidated production was approximately 15,500 bbls/d. The Company has successfully restored the previously disclosed failed steam generator at the Expansion Asset ahead of schedule and has elected to proactively refurbish a second unit, with full steam capacity expected by year-end 2025. With one of four steam generators currently offline, production will remain impacted by approximately 1,500 bbls/d at the Expansion Asset until year-end 2025.

Regulatory Engagement and Installation of Sulphur Removal Facilities: The Company continues to engage with the Alberta Energy Regulator (the "AER") regarding previously disclosed sulphur dioxide emissions that exceed regulatory limits at the Expansion Asset. Greenfire has commenced the installation of sulphur removal facilities at the Expansion Asset, with commissioning anticipated in November 2025, which the Company expects will restore compliance with emissions standards.

Drilling Operations:

• Expansion Asset:
  • Greenfire anticipates commencing drilling operations at its inaugural SAGD well pad, Pad 7, in November 2025. Pad 7 comprises 13 well pairs and is located northeast of the Expansion Asset's Central Processing Facility, adjacent to existing production. First oil from Pad 7 is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026.
  • In addition to Pad 7, the Company plans to drill new wells from existing SAGD pads at the Expansion Asset in 2026, including three infill wells from Pad 6 and three well pairs from Pad 5. First oil from these wells is not expected until 2027.
  • Lastly, in 2026 Greenfire also expects to incur some long-lead capital spending related to surface facilities for Greenfire's next major SAGD pad, Pad 8, which is currently not expected to commence drilling until the first half of 2027.
• Demo Asset:
  • In the fourth quarter of 2025, Greenfire intends to pursue redevelopment opportunities at two existing shut-in well pairs, originally drilled at the Demo Asset in 2010, with incremental production expected in the first half of 2026. Beyond this redevelopment program, Greenfire's primary focus at the Demo Asset remains base production optimizations to sustain current production rates.

Outlook

2025 Production and Capital Guidance: Following strong base well performance at the Hangingstone Facilities, Greenfire anticipates that production will be on the high end of its 2025 production guidance range of 15,000-16,000 bbls/d. In addition, Greenfire anticipates meeting its 2025 capital guidance of $130 million.

2026 Production and Capital Guidance: Greenfire's board of directors has approved a 2026 capital budget of $180 million, with anticipated annual production of 15,500 to 16,500 bbls/d. The capital budget is comprised of $65 million of sustaining capital and $115 million of growth capital, which can be further categorized on a project level basis as follows:

• Sustaining Capital (~$65mm)

  • Base capital and capitalized G&A

  • Expansion Asset: Pad 5 well-pairs

  • Demo Asset: redevelopment wells

• Growth Capital (~$115mm)

  • Expansion Asset: Pad 7 well-pairs, Pad 6 infills, Pad 8 well-pairs and Oil Sands Exploration ("OSE") wells (i.e., stratigraphic wells) 

Greenfire expects its 2026 growth capital program to add production at a capital efficiency of approximately $15,000 bbls/d, with planned production increases anticipated to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Refinancing Initiatives

The Company is pleased to announce the following refinancing initiatives (the "Refinancing Initiatives"). Greenfire has secured an upsized $275 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of Canadian banks (the "Senior Credit Facility"), which will be subject to periodic borrowing base reviews. Closing of the Senior Credit Facility is contingent on, among other things, the Company redeeming the outstanding US$237.5 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). To fund the redemption of the 2028 Notes, the Company intends to undertake a $300 million rights offering as separately announced today. At closing of the Refinancing Initiatives, the Senior Credit Facility is anticipated to be undrawn, and Greenfire is expected to be debt-free.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

Certain financial measures in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures or ratios. These measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. This press release also contains supplementary financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios include operating netback, adjusted funds flow, adjusted free cash flow, net debt and per barrel figures associated with such non-GAAP financial measures. Supplementary financial measures and ratios include gross profit, capital expenditures, and depletion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Operating Netback (including per barrel ($/bbl)) Gross profit (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to operating netback which is a non-GAAP measure. Operating netback is further adjusted for realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts, as appropriate. Operating netback per barrel ($/bbl) is calculated by dividing operating netback by the Company's total bitumen sales volume in a specified period. When Operating netback is expressed on a per barrel basis, it is a non-GAAP ratio. Operating netback is a financial measure widely used in the oil and gas industry as a supplementary measure of a company's efficiency and ability to generate cash flow for debt repayments, capital expenditures, or other uses.

The following table is a reconciliation of gross profit (loss) to operating netback:

(1) Supplementary financial measure.

Adjusted Funds Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted funds flow, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not intended to represent cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

The adjusted funds flow measure allows management and others to evaluate the Company's ability to fund its capital programs and meet its ongoing financial obligations using cash flow internally generated from ongoing operating related activities. We compute adjusted funds flow as cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non-cash working capital, less transaction costs and transactions considered non-recurring in nature or outside of normal business operations.

Cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure. Management uses adjusted free cash flow as an indicator of the efficiency and liquidity of its business, measuring its funds after capital investment that are available to manage debt levels and return capital to shareholders. By removing the impact of current period property, plant and equipment expenditures from adjusted free cash flow, management monitors its adjusted free cash flow to inform its capital allocation decisions. We compute adjusted free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non-cash working capital, less transaction costs, transactions considered non-recurring in nature or outside of normal business operations, property, plant and equipment expenditures and acquisition costs.

The following table is a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to adjusted funds flow and adjusted free cashflow:

(1) Non-recurring transactions relate to a terminated shareholder rights plan and the evaluation of strategic alternatives.

Net Debt

The table below reconciles long-term debt to net debt.

Net debt is a non-GAAP measure. Long-term debt is a GAAP measure that is the most directly comparable financial statement measure to net debt. Net debt is comprised of long-term debt, adjusted for current assets and current liabilities on the Company's balance sheet, and excludes the current portions of risk management contracts and warranty liability. Management uses net debt to monitor the Company's current financial position and to evaluate existing sources of liquidity. Net debt is used to estimate future liquidity and whether additional sources of capital are required to fund planned operations.

Supplementary Financial Measures

Depletion

The term "depletion" or "depletion expense" is the portion of depletion and depreciation expense reflecting the cost of development and extraction of the Company's bitumen reserves.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit (loss) is a supplementary financial measure prepared on a consistent basis with IFRS Accounting Standards. Greenfire uses gross profit (loss) to assess its core operating performance before considering other expenses such as general and administrative costs, financing costs, and income taxes. Gross profit (loss) is calculated as oil sales, net of royalties, plus gains on risk management contracts, less losses on risk management contracts, diluent expense, operating expense, depletion expense on the Company's operating assets, transportation expenses and marketing expenses.

Management believes that gross profit (loss) provides investors, analysts, and other stakeholders with useful insight into the Company's ability to generate profitability from its core operations before non-operating expenses.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures is a supplementary financial measure prepared on a consistent basis with IFRS Accounting Standards. Greenfire uses capital expenditures to monitor the cash flows it invests into property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditures is derived from the statement of cash flows and includes property, plant and equipment expenditures and acquisitions.

Management believes that capital expenditures provides investors, analysts and other stakeholders with a useful insight into the Company's investments into property, plant and equipment.
