Proactive Response to AECO Costs
Poor NGTL system reliability and upkeep on key export pipelines continued via the third quarter, leading to each the weakest quarter and the weakest month (September) on document for AECO money costs.
Per our strategic precedence of maximizing cumulative FCF(a), Benefit curtailed important volumes of dry pure gasoline manufacturing when money costs have been exceptionally weak or adverse. Gasoline curtailments averaged 60 mmcf/d for the quarter, with sure days in September exceeding 300 mmcf/d. On these days, Benefit bought spot gasoline at adverse costs to fulfill bodily supply commitments to downstream markets whereas preserving our pure gasoline useful resource.
Our curtailment technique straight resulted in a $2 million web enhance to third-quarter AFF(a) from buying gasoline at adverse costs and about $5 million of diminished depletion expense, which is able to translate to decrease growth capital throughout the subsequent six months. Monetary hedging features, that are impartial of bodily manufacturing, accounted for 47% of the quarter’s AFF(a).
Advertising Replace
Benefit has hedged 43% of its forecasted pure gasoline manufacturing for the fourth quarter of 2025, in addition to 28% in 2026 and eight% in 2027.

Wanting Ahead
Benefit’s company technique stays targeted on maximizing AFF per share development with out compromising our stability sheet.
Western Canadian pure gasoline market fundamentals stay encouraging, with oversupplied situations easing as LNG Canada continues to ramp up and export pipelines return to full service. This rebalancing will increase the probability that AECO costs will exceed ranges at the moment implied by the futures market. Nevertheless, even at present strip pricing Benefit expects to generate greater than $500 million of FCF(a) over our three-year plan (2025 to 2027), whereas persevering with to develop manufacturing 5% to 10% yearly.
Voluntary manufacturing curtailments led to early October and company manufacturing was restored to full capability. We anticipate fourth quarter manufacturing to common between 79,000 and 83,000 boe/d, leading to full-year 2025 manufacturing of 78,100 to 79,100 boe/d (beforehand 80,000 to 83,000 boe/d).
Because of the aggressive shut-ins throughout the third quarter, growth capital for the rest of the 12 months is predicted to be modestly decrease than budgeted and, pending budgetary approval in December, we anticipate to scale back capital for 2026 by roughly $10 million. At strip pricing, Benefit expects our 2026 capital program reinvestment price to be amongst the bottom in trade, serving to amplify our 2026 share buyback program. With web debt forecast to fall quickly this winter, we’re shifting to a web debt goal vary, between $400 million and $500 million (midpoint goal remaining at $450 million), offering flexibility across the timing of accelerated share buybacks.
Benefit is strongly positioned to profit from the Canadian political outlook by advantage of our low carbon pure gasoline and possession of Entropy Inc. Our technique stays centered on disciplined capital allocation, high-return investments, and measured, sustainable AFF per share development. This technique presents shareholders with a transformative alternative for long-term worth creation.
