Crescent Point Energy reported its operating and financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Interim CEO Assessing Strategy

Currently Craig Bryksa, interim President and CEO, and his new senior leadership team are assessing and optimizing the Company's future strategic direction.

This team includes Ken Lamont, Chief Financial Officer, Ryan Gritzfeldt, Chief Operating Officer, Derek Christie, Senior Vice President, Exploration, and Brad Borggard, Senior Vice President, Corporate Planning and Capital Markets.

Ops Highlights:

Q2 production averaged 181,818 boe/d (90% oil/liquids) - up a slight 2% from 1Q18 and up 5% YOY

The company has lowered its 2018 production guidance slightly as follows:

• Crescent Point's U.S. operations continued to advance during second quarter. This included horizontal development in the Uinta Basin and North Dakota across multiple zones.

• In the East Shale Duvernay, the Company completed its first half 2018 drilling program with encouraging initial well results. Crescent Point will continue to monitor well performance before increasing the amount of capital allocated to this early-stage resource play.

Financial Highlights:

• Reduced net debt in the quarter by over $390 million, driven by funds flow from operations in excess of capital expenditures and proceeds from recently announced dispositions of approximately $280 million.
• Renewed unsecured, covenant-based credit facilities totaling $3.6 billion, with maturity date extension to 2021.
• Appointed new senior leadership team and streamlined executive structure with fewer members.
• Reviewing strategy with a focus on balance sheet improvement, disciplined capital allocation and cost reductions.
