1) May in situ prod'n moderated ~6.4% m/m (note): In situ accounted for ~51% of total oil
Jeremy De Souza, CPA^ sands prod'n of ~3.2 mmbbl/d and ~35% of total Canadian oil prod'n (including East Coast
403 292 1212 offshore). Including mining projects, oil sands prod'n accounted for ~70% of total Canadian oil

2) Jackfish (CNQ-T, Buy, C$56.50): CNQ thermal prod'n averaged 283 mbbl/d (80%
utilization, +9% m/m), reflecting the completion of TA activity at Jackfish. Jackfish reached
a record 146 mbbl/d in May at a 2.0x ISOR, highlighting successful debottlenecking and
optimization efforts. Longer-term growth remains supported by planned drilling at Primrose
and Kirby and the proposed 30 mbbl/d Jackfish and 70 mbbl/d Pike 2 expansions. See our
notes: 1Q26 (earnings release, conference call) and 2026 Budget.
