Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
Encana Corporation |
|
|
|
Prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP in US$ |
Second quarter report
for the period ended June 30, 2015
Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(All amounts in $ millions unless otherwise specified)
1. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Encana Corporation and its subsidiaries (Encana or the Company) are in the business of the exploration for, the development of, and the
production and marketing of natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The term liquids is used to represent Encanas oil, NGLs and condensate.
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Encana and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Encana and
entities in which it holds a controlling interest. The noncontrolling interest represented the third party equity ownership in a former consolidated subsidiary, PrairieSky Royalty Ltd. (PrairieSky) as presented in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity. See Note 15 for further details regarding the noncontrolling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Undivided interests in natural gas and
oil exploration and production joint ventures and partnerships are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Investments in non-controlled entities over which Encana has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity
method.
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as
the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, except as noted below in Note 2. The disclosures provided below are incremental to those included with the annual audited Consolidated Financial
Statements. Certain information and disclosures normally required to be included in the notes to the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, the interim
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014.
These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of Management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position and results of the Company as at and for the periods presented. Interim condensed consolidated financial results are not necessarily indicative of consolidated financial results expected for the fiscal year.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes in
Accounting Policies and Practices
On January 1, 2015, Encana adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, Reporting
Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The update amends the criteria and expands the disclosures for reporting discontinued
operations. Under the new criteria, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations would qualify as a discontinued operation. The amendments have been applied prospectively and have not had a material impact on the Companys
interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(All amounts in $ millions unless otherwise specified)
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
New Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted
As of January 1, 2016, Encana will be required to adopt the following pronouncements issued by the FASB:
|
|
|
ASU 2014-12, CompensationStock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. The
update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments will be applied prospectively and are not expected to have a material
impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. |
|
|
|
ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The update requires limited partnerships and similar entities to be evaluated under the variable interest and voting interest models, eliminate the
presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and simplify the identification of variable interests and related effect on the primary beneficiary criterion when fees are paid to a decision maker. The amendments can be
applied using either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach at the date of adoption. Encana is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|
|
|
ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related
liability. Previously, debt issuance costs were presented as a deferred charge within assets. The amendments will be applied retrospectively. As at June 30, 2015, $34 million of debt issuance costs were presented in Other Assets on the
Companys interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet ($39 million as at December 31, 2014). |
As of January 1, 2017, Encana
will be required to adopt ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers under Topic 606, which was the result of a joint project by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board. The new standard replaces Topic 605,
Revenue Recognition, and other industry-specific guidance in the Accounting Standards Codification. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized on the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard can be applied using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach at the date of
adoption. Encana is currently assessing the potential impact of the standard on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
3. Segmented
Information
Encanas reportable segments are determined based on the Companys operations and geographic locations as follows:
|
|
|
Canadian Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and other related activities within the Canadian cost centre. |
|
|
|
USA Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and other related activities within the U.S. cost centre. |
|
|
|
Market Optimization is primarily responsible for the sale of the Companys proprietary production. These results are reported in the Canadian and USA Operations. Market optimization activities include third
party purchases and sales of product to provide operational flexibility for transportation commitments, product type, delivery points and customer diversification. These activities are reflected in the Market Optimization segment. Market
Optimization sells substantially all of the Companys upstream production to third party customers. Transactions between segments are based on market values and are eliminated on consolidation. |
Corporate and Other mainly includes unrealized gains or losses recorded on derivative financial instruments. Once the instruments are settled, the realized
gains and losses are recorded in the reporting segment to which the derivative instruments relate.

The purchase price allocation for Eagle Ford is finalized. |
(2) |
The purchase price allocation for Athlon is preliminary. There were no changes during the first or second quarters of 2015. |
(3) |
The purchase price includes cash consideration paid for issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Athlon of $58.50 per share totaling $5.93 billion, as well as payments to terminate certain employment agreements
with Athlons management and payments for certain other existing obligations of Athlon. |
The Company used the income approach valuation
technique for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term
maturity of the instruments. The fair values of the risk management assets and long-term debt, including the revolving credit facility, are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and were determined using quoted prices and rates from
an available pricing source. The fair values of the proved and unproved properties, other property, plant and equipment, other assets, goodwill, and asset retirement obligation are categorized within Level 3 and were determined using relevant market
assumptions, including discount rates, future commodity prices and costs, timing of development activities, projections of oil and gas reserves, and estimates to abandon and reclaim producing wells.
Goodwill arose from the Athlon acquisition primarily from the requirement to recognize deferred taxes on the difference between the fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed and the respective carry-over tax basis. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisitions
During the
three and six months ended June 30, 2014, acquisitions primarily included the purchase of certain properties in the Eagle Ford shale formation in south Texas as described in Note 4.
Divestitures
For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2015, divestitures in the Canadian Operations were $50 million and $879 million, respectively (2014$89 million and $121 million, respectively). Divestitures primarily included the sale of certain assets included in Wheatland
located in central and southern Alberta for proceeds of approximately C$558 million ($468 million), after closing adjustments, the sale of certain natural gas gathering and compression assets in the Montney area of northeastern British Columbia for
proceeds of approximately C$454 million ($358 million), after closing adjustments and the sale of land and properties that do not complement Encanas existing portfolio of assets.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, divestitures in the USA Operations were $87 million and $84 million, respectively, which primarily
included the sale of land and properties that do not complement Encanas existing portfolio of assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, divestitures in the USA Operations were $2,156 million and $2,170 million,
respectively, which primarily included the sale of the Jonah properties for proceeds of approximately $1,639 million and the sale of certain properties in East Texas for proceeds of approximately $427 million, after closing adjustments.
The proved reserves associated with the Jonah divestiture exceeded 25 percent of Encanas proved reserves in the U.S. cost centre. The carrying amount of
the assets was deducted from the full cost pool and the remainder of the proceeds was recognized as a gain on sale of approximately $212 million, before tax. For divestitures that result in a gain or loss on sale and constitute a business, goodwill
is assigned to the transaction. Accordingly, goodwill of $68 million was allocated to the Jonah divestiture.
Amounts received from the divestiture
transactions have been deducted from the respective Canadian and U.S. full cost pools, except for the Jonah divestiture as noted above.
For the six
months ended June 30, 2015, Corporate and Other acquisitions and divestitures primarily includes the purchase and subsequent sale of the Encana Place office building located in Calgary, which resulted in a gain on divestiture of approximately
$12 million.

Encanas interim income tax expense is determined using an estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to
year-to-date net earnings before income tax plus the effect of legislative changes, including the 2015 Alberta general corporate income tax rate increase, and amounts in respect of prior periods. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is
impacted by the expected annual earnings, statutory rate and other foreign differences, non-taxable capital gains and losses, tax differences on divestitures and transactions, and partnership tax allocations in excess of funding.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. |
Canadian
Operations and USA Operations property, plant and equipment include internal costs directly related to exploration, development and construction activities of $128 million which have been capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2015
(2014$195 million). Included in Corporate and Other are $61 million ($65 million as at December 31, 2014) of international property costs, which have been fully impaired.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized before-tax ceiling test impairments of $2,081 million and $3,997 million,
respectively (2014nil) in the U.S. cost centre, which are included within accumulated DD&A in the table above. The impairments resulted primarily from the decline in the 12-month average trailing commodity prices which reduced proved
reserves volumes and values. There were no ceiling test impairments in the Canadian cost centre for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (2014nil).
The 12-month average trailing prices used in the ceiling test calculations were based on the benchmark prices below. The benchmark prices were adjusted for
basis differentials to determine local reference prices, transportation costs and tariffs, heat content and quality.

Long-term debt is accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest method of amortization. As at June 30,
2015, total long-term debt had a carrying value of $6,112 million and a fair value of $6,448 million (as at December 31, 2014carrying value of $7,340 million and a fair value of $7,788 million). The estimated fair value of long-term
borrowings is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and has been determined based on market information, or by discounting future payments of interest and principal at interest rates expected to be available to the Company at period
end.
On March 5, 2015, Encana provided notice to note holders that it would redeem the Companys $700 million 5.90 percent notes due
December 1, 2017 and C$750 million 5.80 percent medium-term notes due January 18, 2018. On April 6, 2015, the Company used net proceeds from the common shares issued, as disclosed in Note 13, and cash on hand to complete the note
redemptions. In conjunction with the early note redemptions, the Company incurred a one-time interest payment of approximately $165 million as discussed in Note 6.
On February 28, 2014, Encana announced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of the Companys outstanding $1,000 million 5.80
percent notes with a maturity date of May 1, 2014. The Company paid $1,004.59 for each $1,000 principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the settlement date and a consent payment equal to $2.50 per
$1,000 principal amount of the notes.
On March 28, 2014, the tender offer and consent solicitation expired and on March 31, 2014, Encana paid
the consenting note holders an aggregate of approximately $792 million in cash reflecting a $768 million principal debt repayment, $2 million for the consent payment and $22 million of accrued and unpaid interest.
On April 28, 2014, pursuant to the Notice of Redemption issued on March 28, 2014, the Company redeemed the remaining principal amount of the 5.80
percent notes not tendered in the tender offer. Encana paid approximately $239 million in cash reflecting a $232 million principal debt repayment and $7 million of accrued and unpaid interest.

prospectus for the issuance of 85,616,500 common shares and granted an over-allotment option for up to an additional 12,842,475 common shares at a price of C$14.60 per common share, pursuant to an underwriting agreement. The aggregate gross proceeds
from the Share Offering were approximately C$1.44 billion ($1.13 billion). After deducting underwriters fees and costs of the Share Offering, the net proceeds received were approximately C$1.39 billion ($1.09 billion).
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, Encana issued 2,872,237 common shares totaling $32 million under the Companys dividend reinvestment plan
(DRIP). During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, Encana issued 240,839 common shares totaling $5 million under the DRIP.

2015, Encana paid dividends of $0.07 per common share totaling $55 million (2014$0.07 per common share totaling $52 million). During the six months ended June 30, 2015, Encana paid dividends of $0.14 per common share totaling $107 million
(2014$0.14 per common share totaling $104 million). Common shares issued as part of the Share Offering as described above were not eligible to receive the dividend paid on March 31, 2015.

Encana Stock Option Plan
Encana has share-based compensation plans that allow employees to purchase common shares of the Company. Option exercise prices are not less than the market
value of the common shares on the date the options are granted. All options outstanding as at June 30, 2015 have associated Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights (TSARs) attached. In lieu of exercising the option, the associated TSARs
give the option holder the right to receive a cash payment equal to the excess of the market price of Encanas common shares at the time of the exercise over the original grant price.
In addition, certain stock options granted are performance-based whereby vesting is also subject to Encana attaining prescribed performance relative to
predetermined key measures. Historically, most holders of options with TSARs have elected to exercise their stock options as a Stock Appreciation Right (SAR) in exchange for a cash payment. As a result, Encana does not consider
outstanding TSARs to be potentially dilutive securities.
Encana Restricted Share Units (RSUs)
Encana has a share-based compensation plan whereby eligible employees are granted RSUs. An RSU is a conditional grant to receive an Encana common share, or the
cash equivalent, as determined by Encana, upon vesting of the RSUs and in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and Grant Agreement. The Company intends to settle vested RSUs in cash on the vesting date. As a result, Encana does not consider
RSUs to be potentially dilutive securities.

15. Noncontrolling Interest
Initial Public Offering of Common Shares of PrairieSky
On
May 29, 2014, Encana completed an initial public offering (IPO) of 52.0 million common shares of PrairieSky at a price of C$28.00 per common share for gross proceeds of approximately C$1.46 billion. On June 3, 2014, the
over-allotment option granted to the underwriters to purchase up to an additional 7.8 million common shares was exercised in full for gross proceeds of approximately C$218.4 million. Encana received aggregate gross proceeds from the IPO of
approximately C$1.67 billion ($1.54 billion). As at June 30, 2014, Encana owned 70.2 million common shares of PrairieSky, representing a 54 percent ownership interest. Accordingly, Encana consolidated 100 percent of the financial position
and results of operations of PrairieSky and recognized a noncontrolling interest for the third party ownership.
The noncontrolling interest in the former
consolidated subsidiary, PrairieSky, was reflected as a separate component in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Encana recorded $117 million of the proceeds from
the IPO as a noncontrolling interest and the remainder of the proceeds of $1,427 million, less transaction costs of $73 million, was recognized as paid in surplus as at June 30, 2014. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, net
earnings and comprehensive income of $10 million were attributable to the noncontrolling interest as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, respectively.
Distributions to Noncontrolling Interest Owners
On
June 18, 2014, PrairieSky declared a dividend of C$0.1058 per common share payable on July 15, 2014 to PrairieSky common shareholders totaling $13 million, of which $6 million was attributable to the noncontrolling interest as presented in
the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity.
Secondary Public Offering of Common Shares of PrairieSky
On September 26, 2014, Encana completed the secondary offering of 70.2 million common shares of PrairieSky at a price of C$36.50 per common share,
for aggregate gross proceeds to Encana of approximately C$2.6 billion. Following the completion of the secondary offering, Encana no longer held an interest in PrairieSky.

16. Variable Interest Entities
Production Field Centre
In 2008, Encana entered into a
contract for the design, construction and operation of the PFC at its Deep Panuke facility. Upon commencement of operations in December 2013, Encana recognized the PFC as a capital lease asset as described in Note 9. Under the lease contract, Encana
has a purchase option and the option to extend the lease for 12 one-year terms at fixed prices after the initial lease term expires in 2021.
As a result
of the purchase option and fixed price renewal options, Encana has determined it holds variable interests and that the related leasing entity qualifies as a variable interest entity (VIE). Encana is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE
as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. Encana is not required to provide any financial support or guarantees to the leasing entity or its affiliates, other
than the contractual payments under the lease and operating agreements. Encanas maximum exposure to loss is the expected lease payments over the initial contract term. As at June 30, 2015, Encanas capital lease obligation of $404
million ($462 million as at December 31, 2014) related to the PFC.
Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership
On March 31, 2015, Encana, along with the Cutbank Ridge Partnership (CRP), entered into natural gas gathering and compression agreements with
Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership (VMLP), under an initial term of 30 years with two potential five-year renewal terms. As part of the agreement, VMLP agreed to undertake expansion of future midstream services in support of Encana
and the CRPs development of the Montney play. In addition, VMLP will also provide to Encana and the CRP natural gas gathering and processing under existing agreements that were contributed to VMLP by its partner Veresen Inc., with remaining
terms of 17 years and up to a potential maximum of 10 one-year renewal terms.
Encana has determined that VMLP is a VIE and that Encana holds variable
interests in VMLP. Encana is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact VMLPs economic performance. These key activities relate to the construction, operation,
maintenance and marketing of the assets owned by VMLP. The variable interests arise from certain terms under the long-term service agreements which include: i) a take or pay for volumes committed to certain gathering and processing assets; ii) an
operating fee of which a portion can be converted into a take or pay once VMLP assumes operatorship of certain compression assets; and iii) a potential payout of minimum costs associated with certain gathering and compression assets. The potential
payout of minimum costs will be assessed in the eighth year of the assets service period and is based on whether there is an overall shortfall of total system cash flows from natural gas gathered and compressed under certain service
agreements. The potential payout amount can be reduced in the event VMLP markets unutilized capacity to third party users. Encana is not required to provide any financial support or guarantees to VMLP.
The total maximum exposure to loss as a result of Encanas involvement with VMLP is estimated to be $1,215 million as at June 30, 2015 and is based
on the future take or pay for volumes committed to certain gathering and processing assets and the potential payout of minimum costs associated with certain gathering and compression assets. The total maximum exposure to loss associated with the
potential payout requirement is highly uncertain as the payout amount is contingent on future production estimates, pace of development and capacity contracted to third parties. As at June 30, 2015, there were no accounts payable and accrued
liabilities outstanding related to the take or pay commitment. The take or pay for volumes committed to certain gathering and processing agreements are included in Note 22.

17. Restructuring Charges
In November 2013, Encana announced its plans to align the organizational structure in support of the Companys strategy. Since the announcement, the
Company has incurred restructuring charges primarily related to severance costs totaling $125 million, of which $2 million remains accrued as at June 30, 2015. Total restructuring charges are expected to be approximately $135 million before
tax. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, $1 million in restructuring charges were incurred (2014$22 million). The remaining restructuring charges of approximately $10 million are anticipated to be incurred during the remainder of
2015. Restructuring charges are included in administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
During the second quarter of
2015, Encana revised its plans to align the organizational structure in continued support of the Companys strategy. Additional transition and severance costs are expected to total approximately $58 million before tax. For the six months ended
June 30, 2015, costs of $30 million were incurred, of which $13 million remains accrued. The remaining transition and severance costs of approximately $28 million are expected to be incurred during the remainder of 2015.
18. Compensation Plans
Encana has a number of
compensation arrangements under which the Company awards various types of long-term incentive grants to eligible employees. These primarily include TSARs, Performance TSARs, SARs, Performance SARs, Performance Share Units (PSUs),
Deferred Share Units (DSUs) and RSUs. These compensation arrangements are share-based.
Encana accounts for TSARs, Performance TSARs, SARs,
Performance SARs, PSUs and RSUs held by Encana employees as cash-settled share-based payment transactions and, accordingly, accrues compensation costs over the vesting period based on the fair value of the rights determined using the
Black-Scholes-Merton and other fair value models.
As at June 30, 2015, the following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the fair
value of the share units held by Encana employees:

20. Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying
amounts due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair value of cash in reserve approximates its carrying amount due to the nature of the instrument held.
Recurring fair value measurements are performed for risk management assets and liabilities and are discussed further in Note 21. These items are carried at
fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are classified within the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in the tables below. There have been no transfers between the hierarchy levels during the period.

20. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
The Companys Level 1 and Level 2 risk management assets and liabilities consist of commodity fixed
price contracts and basis swaps with terms to 2018. The fair values of these contracts are based on a market approach and are estimated using inputs which are either directly or indirectly observable at the reporting date, such as exchange and other
published prices, broker quotes and observable trading activity.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
As at June 30, 2015, the Companys Level 3 risk management assets and liabilities consist of power purchase contracts with terms to 2017. The fair
values of the power purchase contracts are based on the income approach and are modelled internally using observable and unobservable inputs such as forward power prices in less active markets. The unobservable inputs are obtained from third parties
whenever possible and reviewed by the Company for reasonableness.
Changes in amounts related to risk management assets and liabilities are recognized in
revenues and transportation and processing expense according to their purpose.
A summary of changes in Level 3 fair value measurements for the six months
ended June 30 is presented below:

C) Risks Associated with Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company is exposed to financial risks including market risks (such as commodity prices, foreign exchange and interest rates), credit risk and liquidity
risk. Future cash flows may fluctuate due to movement in market prices and the exposure to credit and liquidity risks.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk arises from the effect fluctuations in future commodity prices may have on future cash flows. To partially mitigate exposure to commodity
price risk, the Company has entered into various derivative financial instruments. The use of these derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors. The Companys policy is
to not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Natural GasTo partially mitigate natural gas commodity price risk, the
Company uses contracts such as NYMEX-based swaps and options. Encana also enters into basis swaps to manage against widening price differentials between various production areas and various sales points.
Crude OilTo partially mitigate against crude oil commodity price risk including widening price differentials between North American and world prices,
the Company has entered into fixed price contracts and basis swaps.
PowerThe Company has entered into Canadian dollar denominated derivative
contracts to manage its electricity consumption costs.

Commodity Price Risk (continued)
The table below summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Companys risk management positions to fluctuations in commodity prices, with all
other variables held constant. The Company has used a 10 percent variability to assess the potential impact of commodity price changes. Fluctuations in commodity prices could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting pre-tax net earnings

Credit Risk
Credit risk
arises from the potential that the Company may incur a loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligation in accordance with agreed terms. This credit risk exposure is mitigated through the use of Board-approved credit
policies governing the Companys credit portfolio including credit practices that limit transactions according to counterparties credit quality. Mitigation strategies may include master netting arrangements, requesting collateral and/or
transacting credit derivatives. The Company executes commodity derivative financial instruments under master agreements that have netting provisions that provide for offsetting payables against receivables. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had
no significant collateral balances posted or received and there were no credit derivatives in place.
As at June 30, 2015, cash equivalents include
high-grade, short-term securities, placed primarily with financial institutions and companies with strong investment grade ratings. Any foreign currency agreements entered into are with major financial institutions in Canada and the U.S. or with
counterparties having investment grade credit ratings.
A substantial portion of the Companys accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and
gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. As at June 30, 2015, approximately 88 percent (94 percent as at December 31, 2014) of Encanas accounts receivable and financial derivative credit exposures were with
investment grade counterparties.
As at June 30, 2015, Encana had four counterparties (three counterparties as at December 31, 2014) whose net
settlement position individually accounted for more than 10 percent of the fair value of the outstanding in-the-money net risk management contracts by counterparty. As at June 30, 2015, these counterparties accounted for 20 percent, 18 percent,
16 percent and 10 percent (16 percent, 16 percent and 15 percent as at December 31, 2014) of the fair value of the outstanding in-the-money net risk management contracts.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the potential
that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting a demand to fund its financial liabilities as they come due. The Company manages liquidity risk using cash and debt management programs.
The Company has access to cash equivalents and a range of funding alternatives at competitive rates through committed revolving bank credit facilities and
debt and equity capital markets. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had committed revolving bank credit facilities totaling $3.8 billion which include C$3.5 billion ($2.8 billion) on a revolving bank credit facility for Encana and $1.0 billion on
a revolving bank credit facility for a U.S. subsidiary, the latter of which remains unused. Of the C$3.5 billion ($2.8 billion) revolving bank credit facility, $1.4 billion was fully supporting the U.S. Commercial Paper Program and $1.4 billion
remained unused.
Encana also has accessible capacity under a shelf prospectus for up to $4.9 billion, or the equivalent in foreign currencies, the
availability of which is dependent on market conditions, to issue debt and/or equity securities in Canada and/or the U.S. The shelf prospectus expires in July 2016.
The Company believes it has sufficient funding through the use of these facilities to meet foreseeable borrowing requirements.

21. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
C) Risks Associated with Financial Assets and Liabilities (continued)
Liquidity Risk (continued)
The Company minimizes its liquidity risk by managing its capital structure. The Companys capital structure consists of shareholders equity plus
long-term debt, including the current portion. The Companys objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility to preserve Encanas access to capital markets and its ability to meet financial obligations
and to finance internally generated growth as well as potential acquisitions. To manage the capital structure, the Company may adjust capital spending, adjust dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, issue new debt or repay existing debt.
The timing of expected cash outflows relating to financial liabilities is outlined in the table below:

Included in Encanas long-term debt obligations of $11,254 million at
June 30, 2015 are $1,397 million in principal obligations for revolving credit and term loan borrowings related to U.S. Commercial Paper. These amounts are fully supported and Management expects they will continue to be supported by revolving
credit facilities that have no repayment requirements within the next year. The revolving credit facilities are fully revolving for a period of up to five years. Based on the current maturity dates of the credit facilities, these amounts are
included in cash outflows for the period disclosed as 4 - 5 Years. Further information on Long-Term Debt is contained in Note 10.
Foreign Exchange
Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Companys
financial assets or liabilities. As Encana operates primarily in North America, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars can have a significant effect on the Companys reported results. Encanas financial
results are consolidated in Canadian dollars; however, the Company reports its results in U.S. dollars as most of its revenue is closely tied to the U.S. dollar and to facilitate a more direct comparison to other North American oil and gas
companies. As the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations are embedded in the Companys results, the total effect of foreign exchange fluctuations is not separately identifiable.
As at June 30, 2015, Encana had $6.1 billion in U.S. dollar debt issued from Canada that was subject to foreign exchange exposure. As at
December 31, 2014, Encana had $6.7 billion in debt that was subject to foreign exchange exposure and $0.6 billion that was not subject to foreign exchange exposure. To mitigate the exposure to the fluctuating U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate,
Encana may enter into foreign exchange derivaties. There were no foreign exchange derivatives outstanding as at June 30, 2015.
Encanas foreign
exchange (gain) loss primarily includes foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation and settlement of U.S. dollar denominated debt issued from Canada, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation of U.S. dollar
denominated risk management assets and liabilities held in Canada, foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation and settlement of foreign denominated intercompany balances and foreign exchange gains and losses on U.S. dollar denominated cash
and short-term investments held in Canada. A $0.01 change in the U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate would have resulted in a $50 million change in foreign exchange (gain) loss as at June 30, 2015 (2014 - $46 million).
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from
changes in market interest rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows from the Companys financial assets or liabilities. The Company may partially mitigate its exposure to interest rate changes by holding a mix of both fixed and
floating rate debt and may also enter into interest rate derivatives to partially mitigate effects of fluctuations in market interest rates. There were no interest rate derivatives outstanding as at June 30, 2015.
As at June 30, 2015, the Company had floating rate debt of $1,397 million. Accordingly, the sensitivity in net earnings for each one percent change in
interest rates on floating rate debt was $10 million (2014 - nil).

agreements with VMLP as described in Note 16.
Contingencies
Encana is involved in various legal claims and actions arising in the course of the Companys operations. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be
predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on Encanas financial position, cash flows or results of operations. If an unfavourable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of
a material adverse impact on the Companys consolidated net earnings or loss in the period in which the outcome is determined. Accruals for litigation and claims are recognized if the Company determines that the loss is probable and the amount
can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has made adequate provision for such legal claims.

Encana Corporation
Managements Discussion and Analysis
For the period ended June 30, 2015
(Prepared in U.S. Dollars)
Managements Discussion and Analysis
This Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for Encana Corporation (Encana or the Company) should be read
with the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2015 (Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), as well as the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A
for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and comparative information have been prepared
in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and in U.S. dollars, except where another currency has been indicated. References to C$ are to Canadian dollars. Encanas
financial results are consolidated in Canadian dollars; however, the Company has adopted the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency to facilitate a more direct comparison to other North American oil and gas companies. Production volumes are presented
on an after royalties basis consistent with U.S. oil and gas reporting standards and the disclosure of U.S. oil and gas companies. The term liquids is used to represent oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs or NGL) and
condensate. The term liquids rich is used to represent natural gas streams with associated liquids volumes. This document is dated July 23, 2015.
For convenience, references in this document to Encana, the Company, we, us, our and
its may, where applicable, refer only to or include any relevant direct and indirect subsidiary corporations and partnerships (Subsidiaries) of Encana Corporation, and the assets, activities and initiatives of such
Subsidiaries.
Certain measures in this document do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered
non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by Encana to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Companys liquidity and its ability to generate funds to
finance its operations. Non-GAAP measures include: Cash Flow; Free Cash Flow; Operating Earnings (Loss); Upstream Operating Cash Flow, excluding Hedging; Operating Netback; Debt to Debt Adjusted Cash Flow; and Debt to Adjusted Capitalization.
Further information regarding these measures can be found in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A, including reconciliations of Cash from Operating Activities to Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow, and of Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to
Common Shareholders to Operating Earnings (Loss).
The following volumetric measures may be abbreviated throughout this MD&A: thousand cubic
feet (Mcf); million cubic feet (MMcf) per day (MMcf/d); barrel (bbl); thousand barrels (Mbbls) per day (Mbbls/d); barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day
(BOE/d); thousand barrels of oil equivalent (MBOE) per day (MBOE/d); million British thermal units (MMBtu).

Encanas Strategic Objectives
Encana is a leading North American energy producer that is focused on developing its strong portfolio of resource plays producing natural gas, oil and NGLs.
Encana is committed to growing long-term shareholder value through a disciplined focus on generating profitable growth. The Company is pursuing the key business objectives of balancing its commodity portfolio, focusing capital investments in
strategic high return scalable projects, maintaining portfolio flexibility to respond to changing market conditions, maximizing profitability through operating efficiencies, reducing costs and preserving balance sheet strength.
Encana continually strives to improve operating efficiencies, foster technological innovation and lower its cost structures, while reducing its environmental
footprint through play optimization. The Companys resource play hub model utilizes highly integrated production facilities to develop resources by drilling multiple wells from central pad sites. Capital and operating efficiencies are achieved
through repeatable operations, optimizing equipment and processes and by applying continuous improvement techniques.
Encana hedges a portion of its
expected natural gas and oil production volumes. The Companys hedging program reduces volatility and helps sustain Cash Flow and operating netbacks during periods of lower prices. Further information on the Companys commodity price
positions as at June 30, 2015 can be found in the Results Overview section of this MD&A and in Note 21 to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Additional information on expected results can be found in Encanas 2015 Corporate Guidance on the Companys website www.encana.com.
Encanas Business
Encanas reportable segments
are determined based on the Companys operations and geographic locations as follows:
|
|
|
Canadian Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and other related activities within Canada. |
|
|
|
USA Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and other related activities within the U.S. |
|
|
|
Market Optimization is primarily responsible for the sale of the Companys proprietary production. These results are reported in the Canadian and USA Operations. Market optimization activities include third
party purchases and sales of product to provide operational flexibility for transportation commitments, product type, delivery points and customer diversification. These activities are reflected in the Market Optimization segment. Market
Optimization sells substantially all of the Companys upstream production to third party customers. Transactions between segments are based on market values and are eliminated on consolidation. Financial information is presented on an after
eliminations basis within this MD&A. |
Corporate and Other mainly includes unrealized gains or losses recorded on derivative financial
instruments. Once the instruments are settled, the realized gains and losses are recorded in the reporting segment to which the derivative instruments relate.

A non-GAAP measure, which is defined in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A. |
(2) |
In continued support of Encanas strategy, organizational structure changes were formalized in Q2 2015 and resulted in a revision to the Q1 2015 Operating Earnings to exclude restructuring charges incurred in the
first quarter. |
(3) |
Excludes the impact of the PrairieSky Royalty Ltd. divestiture and the Athlon Energy Inc. acquisition during 2014, as summarized in the Net Capital Investment section of this MD&A. |
Encanas quarterly net earnings can be significantly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices, realized and unrealized hedging gains and losses,
production volumes, foreign exchange rates, ceiling test impairments and gains or losses on divestitures, which are provided in the Financial Results table and Prices and Foreign Exchange Rates table within this MD&A. Quarterly net earnings are
also impacted by Encanas interim income tax expense calculated using the estimated annual effective income tax rate as discussed in the Other Operating

Results section of this MD&A. Quarterly net earnings are also impacted by acquisition and divestiture transactions, which are discussed in the Net Capital Investment section of this MD&A.
Under full cost accounting, the carrying amount of Encanas natural gas and oil properties within each country cost centre is subject to a ceiling
test performed quarterly. Ceiling test impairments are recognized when the capitalized costs, net of accumulated depletion and the related deferred income taxes, exceed the sum of the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves as
calculated under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements using the 12-month average trailing prices and discounted at 10 percent.
In the second quarter and first six months of 2015, the Company recognized after-tax non-cash ceiling test impairments of $1,328 million and $2,550 million,
respectively, in the U.S. cost centre. The non-cash ceiling test impairments primarily resulted from the decline in the 12-month average trailing commodity prices. Further declines in the 12-month average trailing commodity prices could reduce
proved reserves values and result in the recognition of future ceiling test impairments. Future ceiling test impairments can also result from changes to reserves estimates, future development costs, capitalized costs and unproved property costs.
Proceeds received from natural gas and oil divestitures are generally deducted from the Companys capitalized costs and can reduce the likelihood of ceiling test impairments.
The Company believes that the discounted after-tax future net cash flows from proved reserves required to be used in the ceiling test calculation are not
indicative of the fair market value of Encanas natural gas and oil properties or the future net cash flows expected to be generated from such properties. The discounted after-tax future net cash flows do not consider the fair market value of
unamortized unproved properties, or probable or possible natural gas and liquids reserves. In addition, there is no consideration given to the effect of future changes in commodity prices. Encana manages its business using estimates of reserves and
resources based on forecast prices and costs.
Three months ended June 30, 2015 versus June 30, 2014
Cash Flow of $181 million decreased $475 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and was impacted by the following significant items:
|
|
|
Average realized natural gas prices, excluding financial hedges, were $2.37 per Mcf compared to $4.46 per Mcf in 2014 reflecting lower benchmark prices. Lower realized natural gas prices decreased revenues $285 million.
Average realized liquids prices, excluding financial hedges, were $43.83 per bbl compared to $71.23 per bbl in 2014 reflecting lower benchmark prices. Lower realized liquids prices decreased revenues $208 million. |
|
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 1,568 MMcf/d decreased 973 MMcf/d from 2,541 MMcf/d in 2014 primarily due to divestitures, natural declines in the USA Operations and lower production from Deep Panuke,
partially offset by a successful drilling program in Montney. Lower natural gas volumes decreased revenues $408 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 127.3 Mbbls/d increased 59.1 Mbbls/d from 68.2 Mbbls/d in 2014 primarily due to
acquisitions and successful drilling programs in oil and liquids rich natural gas plays, partially offset by divestitures. Higher oil and NGL volumes increased revenues $271 million. |
|
|
|
Realized financial hedging gains before tax were $161 million compared to losses of $102 million in 2014. |
|
|
|
Transportation and processing expense decreased $100 million primarily due to divestitures, the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate and lower production from Deep Panuke, partially offset by higher liquids volumes
in Montney. |
|
|
|
Operating expense increased $31 million primarily due to liquids-weighted acquisitions, partially offset by divestitures, lower non-cash long-term compensation costs resulting from the decrease in the Encana share price
and the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate. |
|
|
|
Interest expense increased $156 million primarily due to a one-time interest payment of approximately $165 million resulting from the early redemption of Encanas $700 million 5.90 percent notes due
December 1, 2017 and C$750 million 5.80 percent medium-term notes due January 18, 2018. |

Operating Loss in the second quarter of 2015 was $167 million compared to Operating Earnings of $171 million in
2014 primarily due to the items discussed in the Cash Flow section. Operating Loss for the second quarter of 2015 was also impacted by a higher foreign exchange loss on settlements and the revaluation of other monetary assets and liabilities and
deferred tax.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders in the second quarter of 2015 was $1,610 million compared to Net Earnings Attributable to
Common Shareholders of $271 million in 2014 primarily due to an after-tax non-cash ceiling test impairment and the items discussed in the Cash Flow and Operating Earnings sections. Net Loss for the second quarter of 2015 was also impacted by
after-tax unrealized hedging losses, a lower after-tax gain on divestitures, a lower after-tax non-operating foreign exchange gain and deferred tax.
Six

|
|
|
Realized financial hedging gains before tax were $401 million compared to losses of $243 million in 2014. |
|

Encanas financial results are influenced by fluctuations in commodity prices, price differentials and the U.S./Canadian
dollar exchange rate. In the second quarter and first six months of 2015, Encanas average realized natural gas price, excluding hedging, reflected lower benchmark prices compared to 2014. Hedging activities contributed $1.15 per Mcf to
Encanas average realized natural gas price in the second quarter of 2015 and $1.20 per Mcf in the first six months of 2015. The average realized natural gas price for production from Deep Panuke was $9.40 per Mcf in the first six months of
2015 compared to $11.31 per Mcf in 2014 and increased Encanas average realized natural gas price $0.43 per Mcf in the first six months of 2015 compared to $0.60 per Mcf in 2014.
In the second quarter and first six months of 2015, Encanas average realized oil and NGL prices, excluding hedging, reflected lower benchmark prices
compared to 2014. Hedging activities reduced Encanas average realized oil price $0.07 per bbl in the second quarter of 2015 and contributed $2.65 per bbl in the first six months of 2015.

commodity prices and changes in the balance of unsettled contracts between periods. The changes in fair value are recognized in revenue as unrealized hedging gains and losses. Realized hedging
gains and losses are recognized in revenue when derivative financial contracts are settled.
At June 30, 2015, Encana has hedged approximately 1,000
MMcf/d of expected July to December 2015 natural gas production using NYMEX fixed price contracts at an average price of $4.29 per Mcf. In addition, Encana has hedged approximately 59.4 Mbbls/d of expected July to December 2015 oil production using
WTI fixed price contracts at an average price of $61.96 per bbl and approximately 38.0 Mbbls/d of expected 2016 oil production at an average price of $62.83 per bbl.
The Companys hedging program helps sustain Cash Flow and operating netbacks during periods of lower prices. For additional information, see the Risk
Management Financial Risks section of this MD&A.

Wheatland was previously presented as Clearwater. |
Growth assets includes Encanas top four strategic
assets Montney, Duvernay, Eagle Ford and Permian as well as the DJ Basin, San Juan and the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (TMS), which represent additional high-quality investment opportunities. Other Upstream Operations includes
capital investment from plays that are not part of the Companys current strategic focus as well as prospective plays that are under appraisal, including the TMS, which is reported within Other and emerging in the USA Operations. For the second
quarter and first six months of 2015, capital investment in the TMS was $16 million and $42 million, respectively (2014 $27 million and $47 million, respectively).
Capital investment associated with the Clearwater lands transferred to PrairieSky Royalty Ltd. (PrairieSky) was included in Encanas
Wheatland play until September 25, 2014, after which Encana no longer held an interest in PrairieSky.

Capital Investment
Capital investment during the first six months of 2015 was $1,479 million compared to $1,071 million in 2014. The Companys disciplined capital spending
focused on investment in its growth assets, as well as executing drilling programs with joint venture partners. During the first six months of 2015, capital spending in the Companys growth assets totaled $1,413 million (2014 $859
million), representing approximately 96 percent (2014 80 percent) of the Companys capital investment, with $1,168 million (2014 $582 million) spent on Encanas top four strategic assets.
Divestitures
Divestitures in the first six months of 2015 were
$879 million in the Canadian Operations and $84 million in the USA Operations, which primarily included the transactions discussed below, as well as the sale of land and properties that do not complement Encanas existing portfolio of assets.
The Canadian Operations included approximately C$558 million ($468 million), after closing adjustments, for the sale of the Companys working
interest in certain assets included in Wheatland located in central and southern Alberta which comprised approximately 1.2 million net acres of land that contained over 6,800 producing wells. Immediately following the sale, Encana retained a
working interest in approximately 1.1 million net acres in the area. The Canadian Operations also included approximately C$454 million ($358 million), after closing adjustments, in cash consideration net to Encana for the sale of certain
natural gas gathering and compression assets in northeastern British Columbia to VMLP. In conjunction with the sale, VMLP will undertake the expansion of future midstream services and will also provide natural gas gathering and processing in Montney
to Encana and the Cutbank Ridge Partnership. Further information can be found in Note 16 to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Divestitures in the first six months of 2014 were $121 million in the Canadian Operations and $2,170 million in the USA Operations. The USA Operations
primarily included approximately $1.6 billion, after closing adjustments, for the sale of the Jonah properties and approximately $427 million for the sale of certain properties in East Texas.
Amounts received from the divestiture transactions above have been deducted from the respective Canadian and U.S. full cost pools, except for the sale of the
Jonah properties. The proved reserves associated with the Jonah divestiture exceeded 25 percent of Encanas proved reserves in the U.S. cost centre. The carrying amount of the assets was deducted from the full cost pool and the remainder of the
proceeds was recognized as a gain on sale of approximately $212 million, before tax. Goodwill of $68 million was allocated to the divestiture.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions in the first six months of 2014 were
$2,944 million in the USA Operations which primarily related to the acquisition of Eagle Ford.
2014 Capital Transactions
The significant acquisition and divestiture transactions below, which occurred during 2014, have impacted the Companys production volume and operating
cash flow variances for the second quarter and first six months of 2015. A comprehensive discussion of these transactions is included in the annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Growth assets includes Encanas top four strategic assets Montney, Duvernay, Eagle Ford and Permian
as well as the DJ Basin, San Juan and the TMS, which represent additional high-quality investment opportunities. Other Upstream Operations includes production volumes from plays that are not part of the Companys current strategic focus
as well as prospective plays that are under appraisal, including the TMS, which is reported within Other and emerging in the USA Operations.
The
production volumes associated with the Clearwater lands transferred to PrairieSky were included in Encanas Wheatland play until September 25, 2014, after which Encana no longer held an interest in PrairieSky.
Natural Gas Production Volumes
In the second quarter of 2015,
average natural gas production volumes of 1,568 MMcf/d decreased 973 MMcf/d from 2014. In the first six months of 2015, average natural gas production volumes of 1,712 MMcf/d decreased 963 MMcf/d from 2014.
The USA Operations volumes were lower in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 primarily due to the sales of the Jonah and East Texas
properties in the second quarter of 2014 and natural declines in Haynesville and Piceance. The Canadian Operations volumes were lower in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 primarily due to the sale of the Bighorn assets in the third
quarter of 2014, the sale of certain assets included in Wheatland in January 2015 and production declines at Deep Panuke due to the implementation of a seasonal operating strategy and a higher water production rate, partially offset by a successful
drilling program in Montney.
Oil and NGL Production Volumes
In the second quarter of 2015, average oil and NGL production volumes of 127.3 Mbbls/d increased 59.1 Mbbls/d from 2014. In the first six months of 2015,
average oil and NGL production volumes of 124.0 Mbbls/d increased 56.0 Mbbls/d from 2014.
The USA Operations volumes were higher in the second quarter
and first six months of 2015 primarily due to the acquisitions of Eagle Ford and the Permian assets in the second and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, and successful drilling programs in Eagle Ford, Permian, the DJ Basin, the TMS and San Juan,
partially offset by the sales of the Jonah and East Texas properties in the second quarter of 2014. The Canadian Operations volumes were lower in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 primarily due to the sales of the Bighorn assets and
the Companys investment in PrairieSky in the third quarter of 2014, partially offset by successful drilling programs in Montney and Duvernay.

Three months ended June 30, 2015 versus June 30, 2014
Operating Cash Flow of $171 million decreased $276 million and was impacted by the following significant items:
|
|
|
Lower natural gas prices reflected lower benchmark prices, which decreased revenues $148 million. Lower liquids prices reflected lower benchmark prices, which decreased revenues $68 million. |
|
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 881 MMcf/d were lower by 582 MMcf/d, which decreased revenues $228 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 26.3 Mbbls/d were lower by 11.1 Mbbls/d, which decreased
revenues $68 million. Changes in production volumes are discussed in the Production Volumes section of this MD&A. |
|
|
|
Realized financial hedging gains were $101 million compared to losses of $49 million in 2014. |
|
|
|
Transportation and processing expense decreased $54 million primarily due to the sale of the Bighorn assets in the third quarter of 2014, the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate and production declines at Deep
Panuke, partially offset by higher liquids volumes in Montney. |
|
|
|
Operating expense decreased $33 million primarily due to the sale of certain assets included in Wheatland in January 2015, the sale of the Bighorn assets in the third quarter of 2014, the lower U.S./Canadian dollar
exchange rate and lower long-term compensation costs due to the decrease in the Encana share price. |

Six months ended June 30, 2015 versus June 30, 2014
Operating Cash Flow of $584 million decreased $744 million and was impacted by the following significant items:
|
|
|
Lower natural gas prices reflected lower benchmark prices, which decreased revenues $458 million. The average realized natural gas price for production from Deep Panuke was $9.40 per Mcf compared to $11.31 per Mcf in
2014 and increased the average realized natural gas price $0.73 per Mcf compared to $1.09 per Mcf in 2014. |
|
|
|
Lower liquids prices reflected lower benchmark prices, which decreased revenues $157 million. |
|
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 1,004 MMcf/d were lower by 512 MMcf/d, which decreased revenues $539 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 27.0 Mbbls/d were lower by 12.2 Mbbls/d, which decreased
revenues $147 million. Changes in production volumes are discussed in the Production Volumes section of this MD&A. |
|
|
|
Realized financial hedging gains were $257 million compared to losses of $124 million in 2014. |
|
|
|
Transportation and processing expense decreased $92 million primarily due to the sale of the Bighorn assets in the third quarter of 2014, the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate, the sale of certain assets included
in Wheatland in January 2015, and production declines at Deep Panuke, partially offset by higher liquids volumes in Montney. |
|
|
|
Operating expense decreased $83 million primarily due to the sale of certain assets included in Wheatland in January 2015, the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate, the sale of the Bighorn assets in the third
quarter of 2014 and lower long-term compensation costs due to the decrease in the Encana share price. |

Depreciation, depletion & amortization (DD&A) decreased in the second quarter and first six months of
2015 compared to 2014, primarily due to lower production volumes, the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate and a lower depletion rate. The depletion rate was impacted by the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate, and the sales of the Bighorn
assets and the Companys investment in PrairieSky in the third quarter of 2014.

Three months ended June 30, 2015 versus June 30, 2014
Operating Cash Flow of $308 million decreased $45 million and was impacted by the following significant items:
|
|
|
Lower natural gas prices reflected lower benchmark prices, which decreased revenues $137 million. Lower liquids prices reflected lower benchmark prices, which decreased revenues $140 million. |
|
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 687 MMcf/d were lower by 391 MMcf/d, which decreased revenues $180 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 101.0 Mbbls/d were higher by 70.2 Mbbls/d, which increased
revenues $339 million. Changes in production volumes are discussed in the Production Volumes section of this MD&A. |
|
|
|
Realized financial hedging gains were $63 million compared to losses of $49 million in 2014. |
|
|
|
Transportation and processing expense decreased $33 million primarily due to the sales of the Jonah and East Texas properties in the second quarter of 2014 and lower volumes processed mainly in Piceance.
|
|
|
|
Operating expense increased $72 million primarily due to the acquisitions of Eagle Ford and the Permian assets in the second and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, partially offset by the sales of the Jonah and East
Texas properties in the second quarter of 2014 and lower long-term compensation costs due to the decrease in the Encana share price. |

Six months ended June 30, 2015 versus June 30, 2014
Operating Cash Flow of $597 million decreased $190 million and was impacted by the following significant items:
|
|
|
Lower natural gas prices reflected lower benchmark prices, which decreased revenues $277 million. Lower liquids prices reflected lower benchmark prices, which decreased revenues $259 million. |
|
|
|
Average natural gas production volumes of 708 MMcf/d were lower by 451 MMcf/d, which decreased revenues $441 million. Average oil and NGL production volumes of 97.0 Mbbls/d were higher by 68.2 Mbbls/d, which increased
revenues $574 million. Changes in production volumes are discussed in the Production Volumes section of this MD&A. |
|
|
|
Realized financial hedging gains were $155 million compared to losses of $114 million in 2014. |
|
|
|
Production and mineral taxes decreased $26 million primarily due to the sale of the Jonah properties in the second quarter of 2014 and lower commodity prices, partially offset by the acquisitions of Eagle Ford and the
Permian assets in the second and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively. |
|
|
|
Transportation and processing expense decreased $41 million primarily due to divestitures, which includes the sales of the Jonah and East Texas properties in the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by the
acquisitions of Eagle Ford and the Permian assets in the second and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively. |
|
|
|
Operating expense increased $123 million primarily due to the acquisitions of Eagle Ford and the Permian assets in the second and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, partially offset by the sales of the Jonah and
East Texas properties in the second quarter of 2014 and lower long-term compensation costs due to the decrease in the Encana share price. |

DD&A increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 compared to 2014, primarily due to a higher depletion
rate. The depletion rate was higher primarily due to the acquisitions of Eagle Ford and the Permian assets in the second and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, partially offset by the ceiling test impairment recognized in the first quarter of
2015 and a decrease in proved reserves as a result of the sale of the Jonah properties in the second quarter of 2014.
In the second quarter and first six
months of 2015, the USA Operations recognized before-tax non-cash ceiling test impairments of $2,081 million and $3,997 million, respectively. The impairments primarily resulted from the decline in the 12-month average trailing commodity prices,
which reduced the USA Operations proved reserves volumes and values as calculated under SEC requirements.
The 12-month average trailing prices used in
the ceiling test calculations were based on the benchmark prices below. The benchmark prices were adjusted for basis differentials to determine local reference prices, transportation costs and tariffs, heat content and quality.

Market Optimization revenues and purchased product expense relate to activities that provide operational flexibility for
transportation commitments, product type, delivery points and customer diversification. Revenues and purchased product expense decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 compared to 2014 primarily due to lower commodity prices,
partially offset by higher volumes required for optimization.

Administrative expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 decreased from 2014 primarily due to lower long-term
compensation costs due to the decrease in the Encana share price and the lower U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate, partially offset by higher restructuring costs. During the second quarter of 2015, Encana revised its plans to align the
organizational structure in continued support of the Companys strategy, which resulted in restructuring costs of $15 million and $30 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively. Restructuring costs attributable to
work force reductions associated with the 2013 restructuring were $1 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 compared with $7 million and $22 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively.
Interest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 increased from 2014 primarily due to a one-time interest payment of approximately $165
million resulting from the early redemption of Encanas $700 million 5.90 percent notes due December 1, 2017 and C$750 million 5.80 percent medium-term notes due January 18, 2018.
Foreign exchange gains and losses result from the impact of the fluctuations in the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. In the second quarter of 2015
compared to 2014, the Company recorded higher foreign exchange losses on settlements and lower foreign exchange gains on the translation of U.S. dollar long-term debt issued from Canada, partially offset by foreign exchange gains on the translation
of intercompany notes. In the first six months of 2015 compared to 2014, Encana recorded higher foreign exchange losses on the translation of U.S. dollar long-term debt issued from Canada and on settlements.
Gain on divestitures in the first six months of 2015 primarily includes a gain on the sale of the Encana Place office building in Calgary. Gain on
divestitures in the second quarter and first six months of 2014 primarily includes the before tax impact of the sale of the Jonah properties, as discussed in the Net Capital Investment section of this MD&A.

Total income tax recovery in the first six months of 2015 was primarily due to lower net earnings before tax. The net earnings
variances are discussed in the Financial Results section of this MD&A.
Encanas interim income tax expense is determined using the estimated
annual effective income tax rate applied to year-to-date net earnings before tax plus the effect of legislative changes, including the 2015 Alberta general corporate income tax rate increase, and amounts in respect of prior periods. The
Companys effective tax rate for the first six months of 2015 is lower than 2014 primarily as a result of changes in expected annual earnings and income tax expense recognized on the sale of a noncontrolling interest in PrairieSky in the second
quarter of 2014. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is impacted by expected annual earnings, statutory rate and other foreign differences, non-taxable capital gains and losses, tax differences on divestitures and transactions, and
partnership tax allocations in excess of funding.
Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and
its subsidiaries operate are subject to change. As a result, there are tax matters under review. The Company believes that the provision for taxes is adequate.

Operating Activities
Net
cash from operating activities in the second quarter of 2015 of $298 million decreased $469 million from 2014. These changes are primarily a result of the Cash Flow variances discussed in the Financial Results section of this MD&A. In the second
quarter of 2015, the net change in non-cash working capital was a surplus of $110 million compared to $119 million in 2014.
Net cash from operating
activities in the first six months of 2015 of $780 million decreased $930 million from 2014. These changes are primarily a result of the Cash Flow variances discussed in the Financial Results section of this MD&A. In the first six months of
2015, the net change in non-cash working capital was a surplus of $104 million compared to a deficit of $23 million in 2014.

The Company had a working capital surplus of $290 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $455 million at
December 31, 2014. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable and accrued revenues, a decrease in risk management assets and a decrease in income tax receivable, partially offset by a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, an increase in cash and cash equivalents, an increase in deferred income tax assets and a decrease in deferred income tax liabilities. At June 30, 2015, working capital included cash and cash
equivalents of $496 million compared to $338 million at December 31, 2014. Encana expects that it will continue to meet the payment terms of its suppliers.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing
activities in the first six months of 2015 was $413 million compared to $1,935 million in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of Eagle Ford in 2014, partially offset by lower proceeds from divestitures. Further information on
acquisitions and divestitures can be found in the Net Capital Investment section of this MD&A.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2015 was $202 million compared to net cash from financing activities of $326 million in 2014.
The change was primarily due to the sale of a noncontrolling interest in PrairieSky in the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common shares pursuant to the Share Offering in the first quarter of 2015.

The Encana Credit Facility is Canadian dollar denominated with a capacity of C$3.5 billion. |
(2) |
At June 30, 2015, $1.4 billion was fully supporting the U.S. Commercial Paper Program, as discussed in the Long-Term Debt section below. |
On July 16, 2015, the Company changed its Encana Credit Facility from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars and amended the capacity to $3.0 billion. The
Company also amended the capacity of its U.S. subsidiary Credit Facility to $1.5 billion. The maturity date for both Credit Facilities was extended to July 2020 and $3.1 billion remained unused at July 16, 2015.
Encana is currently in compliance with, and expects that it will continue to be in compliance with, all financial covenants under its credit facility
agreements. Management monitors Debt to Adjusted Capitalization as a proxy for Encanas financial covenant under its credit facility agreements which require debt to adjusted capitalization to be less than 60 percent. The definitions used in
the covenant under the credit facilities adjust capitalization for cumulative historical ceiling test impairments that were recorded as at December 31, 2011 in conjunction with the Companys January 1, 2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP.
Debt to Adjusted Capitalization was 28 percent at June 30, 2015 and 30 percent at December 31, 2014.
Long-Term Debt
Encanas long-term debt, excluding the current portion, totaled $6,112 million at June 30, 2015 and $7,340 million at December 31, 2014. There
was no current portion of long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
On April 6, 2015, the Company used the net
proceeds from the Share Offering and cash on hand to complete the redemption of its $700 million 5.90 percent notes due December 1, 2017 and its C$750 million 5.80 percent

medium-term notes due January 18, 2018. The note redemptions required an aggregate one-time early interest payment of approximately $165 million and is expected to save Encana a gross amount
of approximately $205 million in future interest expense, based on foreign exchange and treasury rates at the time of the redemption.
During the first
quarter of 2015, Encana implemented a U.S. Commercial Paper (U.S. CP) program which is fully supported by the Companys revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2015, Encana had an outstanding balance of $1,397 million which
reflected U.S. CP issuances that had an average term of 45 days and a weighted average interest rate of 0.66 percent. Management expects these amounts will continue to be supported by the revolving credit facility that has no repayment requirements
within the next year. At December 31, 2014, Encana had an outstanding balance of $1,277 million under the Companys revolving credit facility, which reflected principal obligations related to LIBOR loans maturing at various dates with a
weighted average interest rate of 1.62 percent. During the first quarter of 2015, Encana repaid the outstanding balance relating to LIBOR loans using proceeds from the U.S. CP program and cash on hand.
Encana has the flexibility to refinance maturing long-term debt or repay debt maturities from existing sources of liquidity. Encanas primary sources of
liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, revolving bank credit facilities, working capital, operating cash flow and proceeds from asset divestitures.
Shelf Prospectus
On June 27, 2014, Encana filed a
short form base shelf prospectus, whereby the Company may issue from time to time up to $6.0 billion, or the equivalent in foreign currencies, of debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, subscription receipts, warrants and units in Canada
and/or the U.S. On March 5, 2015, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the base shelf prospectus for the issuance of 85,616,500 common shares of Encana and granted an over-allotment option for up to an additional 12,842,475 common
shares of Encana at a price of C$14.60 per common share, pursuant to an underwriting agreement. The Share Offering of 98,458,975 common shares of Encana was completed during March 2015 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$1.44 billion
($1.13 billion). After deducting underwriters fees and costs of the Share Offering, the net proceeds received were approximately C$1.39 billion ($1.09 billion). At June 30, 2015, $4.9 billion, or the equivalent in foreign currencies,
remained accessible under the shelf prospectus, the availability of which is dependent upon market conditions. The shelf prospectus expires in July 2016.

During the first quarter of 2015, Encana issued common shares pursuant to the Share Offering as discussed above.
During the first six months of 2015, Encana issued 2,872,237 common shares under the Companys dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) compared
with 113,775 common shares in 2014. The number of common shares issued under the DRIP increased in the first six months of 2015 primarily as a result of Encanas February 25, 2015 announcement that, effective with the dividend payable on
March 31, 2015, any future dividends in conjunction with the DRIP will be issued from its treasury with a two percent discount to the average market price of the common shares unless otherwise announced by the Company via news release.

In addition to the Commitments disclosed above, Encana has significant development commitments with joint venture partners, a
portion of which may be satisfied by the Drilling and Field Services commitments included in the table above.
Included in Transportation and Processing
in the table above are certain commitments associated with midstream service agreements with VMLP. Additional information can be found in Note 16 to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Further to the Commitments disclosed above, Encana also has obligations related to its risk management program and to fund its defined benefit pension and
other post-employment benefit plans. Further information can be found in Note 21 to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the Companys risk management program.
Contractual obligations arising from long-term debt, asset retirement obligations, The Bow office building and capital leases are recognized on the
Companys balance sheet. Further information can be found in the note disclosures to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The
Company expects to fund its 2015 commitments and obligations from Cash Flow and cash and cash equivalents.
Contingencies
Encana is involved in various legal claims and actions arising in the course of the Companys operations. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be
predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on Encanas financial position, cash flows or results of operations. If an unfavourable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of
a material adverse impact on the Companys consolidated net earnings or loss in the period in which the outcome is determined. Accruals for litigation and claims are recognized if the Company determines that the loss is probable and the amount
can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has made adequate provision for such legal claims.

Risk Management
Encanas business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and in some cases its reputation, are impacted by risks that can
be categorized as follows:
|
|
|
environmental, regulatory, reputational and safety risks. |
Encana aims to strengthen its position as a leading
North American energy producer and grow shareholder value through a disciplined focus on generating profitable growth. Encana continues to focus on developing a balanced portfolio of low-risk and low-cost long-life plays, which allows the Company to
respond well to market uncertainties. Management adjusts financial and operational risk strategies to proactively respond to changing economic conditions and to mitigate or reduce risk.
Issues that can affect Encanas reputation are generally strategic or emerging issues that can be identified early and then appropriately managed, but
can also include unforeseen issues that must be managed on a more urgent basis. Encana takes a proactive approach to the identification and management of issues that affect the Companys reputation and has established appropriate policies,
procedures, guidelines and responsibilities for identifying and managing these issues.
Financial Risks
Encana defines financial risks as the risk of loss or lost opportunity resulting from financial management and market conditions that could have an impact on
Encanas business.
Financial risks include, but are not limited to:
|
|
|
market pricing of natural gas and liquids; |
|
|
|
foreign exchange rates; and |
Encana partially mitigates its exposure to financial risks through the use of various
financial instruments and physical contracts. The use of derivative financial instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board. All derivative financial agreements are with major global financial
institutions or with corporate counterparties having investment grade credit ratings. Encana has in place policies and procedures with respect to the required documentation and approvals for the use of derivative financial instruments and
specifically ties their use to the mitigation of financial risk in order to support capital plans and strategic objectives.
To partially mitigate
commodity price risk, the Company may enter into transactions that fix, set a floor or set a floor and cap on prices. To help protect against regional price differentials, Encana executes transactions to manage the price differentials between its
production areas and various sales points. Further information, including the details of Encanas financial instruments as at June 30, 2015, is disclosed in Note 21 to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Counterparty credit risks are regularly and proactively managed. A substantial portion of Encanas credit exposure is with customers in the oil and gas
industry or financial institutions. This credit exposure is mitigated through the use of Board-approved credit policies governing the Companys credit portfolio, including credit practices that limit transactions and grant payment terms
according to industry standards and counterparties credit quality.
The Company manages liquidity risk using cash and debt management programs. The
Company has access to cash equivalents and a range of funding alternatives at competitive rates through committed revolving bank credit

facilities and debt and equity capital markets. Encana closely monitors the Companys ability to access cost-effective credit and ensures that sufficient liquidity is in place to fund
capital expenditures and dividend payments. The Company minimizes its liquidity risk by managing its capital structure which may include adjusting capital spending, adjusting dividends paid to shareholders, issuing new shares, issuing new debt or
repaying existing debt.
Operational Risks
Operational risks are defined as the risk of loss or lost opportunity resulting from the following:
|
|
|
capital activities, including the ability to complete projects; and |
|
|
|
reserves and resources replacement. |
The Companys ability to operate, generate cash flows, complete
projects, and value reserves and resources is subject to financial risks, including commodity prices mentioned above, continued market demand for its products and other risk factors outside of its control. These factors include: general business and
market conditions; economic recessions and financial market turmoil; the overall state of the capital markets, including investor appetite for investments in the oil and gas industry generally and the Companys securities in particular; the
ability to secure and maintain cost-effective financing for its commitments; legislative, environmental and regulatory matters; unexpected cost increases; royalties; taxes; volatility in natural gas and liquids prices; partner funding for their
share of joint venture and partnership commitments; the availability of drilling and other equipment; the ability to access lands; the ability to access water for hydraulic fracturing operations; weather; the availability of processing capacity; the
availability and proximity of take-away capacity; technology failures; the ability to integrate new assets; cyber-attacks; accidents; the availability of skilled labour; and reservoir quality. If Encana fails to acquire or find additional natural
gas and liquids reserves and resources, its reserves, resources and production will decline materially from their current levels and, therefore, its cash flows are highly dependent upon successfully exploiting current reserves and resources and
acquiring, discovering or developing additional reserves and resources. To mitigate these risks, as part of the capital approval process, the Companys projects are evaluated on a fully risked basis, including geological risk, engineering risk
and reliance on third party service providers.
When making operating and investing decisions, Encanas highly disciplined, dynamic and centrally
controlled capital allocation program ensures investment dollars are directed in a manner that is consistent with the Companys strategy. Encana also mitigates operational risks through a number of other policies, systems and processes as well
as by maintaining a comprehensive insurance program.
In June 2015, the Alberta Government announced that it had appointed a chairman who will form a
panel to undertake a review of the provinces oil and gas royalty structure. The panel is expected to consult with industry, the public and stakeholders and report back to the Alberta Government by the end of 2015. Over the coming months,
Encana will monitor the work of the panel and engage in the consultations. The Company will assess the impact of possible changes to the royalty structure on its operations as information becomes available.

Environmental, Regulatory, Reputational and Safety Risks
The Company is committed to safety in its operations and has high regard for the environment and stakeholders, including the public and regulators. The
Companys business is subject to all of the operating risks normally associated with the exploration for, development of and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs and the operation of midstream facilities. When assessing the materiality of
environmental risk factors, Encana takes into account a number of qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to, the financial, operational, reputational and regulatory aspects of each identified risk factor. These risks are
managed by executing policies and standards that are designed to comply with or exceed government regulations and industry standards. In addition, Encana maintains a system that identifies, assesses and controls safety, security and environmental
risk and requires regular reporting to the Executive Leadership Team and the Board. The Corporate Responsibility, Environment, Health and Safety Committee of Encanas Board provides recommended environmental policies for approval by
Encanas Board and oversees compliance with government laws and regulations. Monitoring and reporting programs for environmental, health and safety performance in day-to-day operations, as well as inspections and audits, are designed to provide
assurance that environmental and regulatory standards are met. Emergency response plans are in place to provide guidance during times of crisis. Contingency plans are in place for a timely response to environmental events and remediation/reclamation
strategies are utilized to restore the environment.
Encanas operations are subject to regulation and intervention by governments that can affect or
prohibit the drilling, completion, including hydraulic fracturing and tie-in of wells, production, the construction or expansion of facilities and the operation and abandonment of fields. Changes in government regulation could impact the
Companys existing and planned projects as well as impose a cost of compliance.
In the state of Colorado, several cities have passed local
ordinances limiting or banning certain oil and gas activities, including hydraulic fracturing. These local rule-making initiatives have not significantly impacted the Companys operations or development plans in the state to date. Encana
continues to work with state and local governments, academics and industry leaders to respond to hydraulic fracturing related concerns in Colorado. The Company recognizes that additional hydraulic fracturing ballot and/or local rule-making limiting
or restricting oil and gas development activities are a possibility in the future and will continue to monitor and respond to these developments in 2015.
The U.S. federal government has noted climate change action as a priority for the current administration. On January 14, 2015, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) outlined a series of steps to address methane and volatile organic compound emissions from the oil and gas industry, including a new goal to reduce oil and gas methane emissions by 40 to 45 percent from 2012
levels by 2025. The reductions will be achieved through regulatory and voluntary measures which have not yet been announced. The EPA plans to propose this new rule and guidance in late summer 2015 with a final rule and guidance expected in 2016.
On June 25, 2015 the Alberta Government announced that it was renewing and updating the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation (the
Regulation), which governs carbon emissions and was set to expire on June 30, 2015. The Regulation requires any facility that emits 100,000 tonnes or more of greenhouse gases per year to reduce their emissions intensity. The renewed
Regulation increases the reduction target from 12 percent to 20 percent by 2017 and increases the cost of carbon from C$15 per tonne to C$30 per tonne by 2017 for those facilities that are unable to meet the specified reduction targets. Encana does
not own or operate any facilities which exceed the 100,000 tonne threshold and, as a result, is not currently subject to the Regulation.
In addition to
the renewal of the Regulation, the Alberta Government also announced the formation of an advisory panel that will comprehensively review Albertas climate change policy, consult stakeholders and provide advice on a permanent set of measures.
The panel is expected to conduct stakeholder consultations during the summer of 2015 and will report back to the Alberta Government in the fall. Over the coming months, Encana will monitor the work of the advisory panel and engage in the
consultations as appropriate.
A comprehensive discussion of Encanas risk management is provided in the Companys annual MD&A for the year
ended December 31, 2014.

Controls and Procedures
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Companys financial reporting, which is a process designed by, or designed under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and
effected by the Board, Management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Encana previously limited the scope and design and subsequent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting to exclude the controls, policies and
procedures of Athlon Energy Inc., acquired through a business combination on November 13, 2014. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company completed the evaluation and integration of the controls, policies and procedures of Athlon Energy
Inc. No material weaknesses or significant deficiencies were noted during the integration and there have been no other changes to the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2015 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of
the Effectiveness of Controls
The Companys control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to Management regarding the preparation
and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to
financial statement preparation and presentation and should not be expected to prevent all errors or fraud. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a comprehensive discussion of Encanas Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Changes in Accounting Policies and Practices
On January 1, 2015, Encana adopted Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals
of Components of an Entity as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The update amends the criteria and expands the disclosures for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new criteria, only disposals
representing a strategic shift in operations would qualify as a discontinued operation. The amendments have been applied prospectively and have not had a material impact on the Companys Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
New Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted
As of
January 1, 2016, Encana will be required to adopt the following pronouncements issued by the FASB:
|
|
|
ASU 2014-12, Compensation Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. The
update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments will be applied prospectively and are not expected to have a material
impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. |
|
|
|
ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The update requires limited partnerships and similar entities to be evaluated under the variable interest and voting interest models, eliminate the
presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and simplify the identification of variable interests and related effect on the primary beneficiary criterion when fees are paid to a decision maker. The amendments can be
applied using either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach at the date of adoption. Encana is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|
|
|
ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related liability.
Previously, debt issuance costs were presented as a deferred charge within assets. The amendments will be applied retrospectively. As at June 30, 2015, $34 million of debt issuance costs were presented in Other Assets on the Companys
interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet ($39 million as at December 31, 2014). |
As of January 1, 2017, Encana will be
required to adopt ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers under Topic 606, which was the result of a joint project by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board. The new standard replaces Topic 605, Revenue
Recognition, and other industry-specific guidance in the Accounting Standards Codification. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized on the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard can be applied using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach at the date of adoption. Encana
is currently assessing the potential impact of the standard on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Measures
Certain measures in this document do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP measures. These
measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by Encana to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the
Companys liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. Non-GAAP measures include: Cash Flow; Free Cash Flow; Operating Earnings (Loss); Upstream Operating Cash Flow, excluding Hedging; Operating Netback; Debt to Debt
Adjusted Cash Flow; and Debt to Adjusted Capitalization. Managements use of these measures is discussed further below.
Cash Flow and Free Cash
Flow
Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by Encana to assist Management and investors in measuring the
Companys ability to finance capital programs and meet financial obligations. Cash Flow is defined as cash from operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, net change in non-cash working capital and cash tax on
sale of assets.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as Cash Flow in excess of capital investment, excluding net acquisitions and divestitures,
and is used to determine the funds available for other investing and/or financing activities.

Operating Earnings
Operating Earnings (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders by non-operating items that Management
believes reduces the comparability of the Companys underlying financial performance between periods. Operating Earnings (Loss) is commonly used in the oil and gas industry and by Encana to provide investors with information that is more
comparable between periods.
Operating Earnings (Loss) is defined as Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders excluding non-recurring or
non-cash items that Management believes reduces the comparability of the Companys financial performance between periods. These after-tax items may include, but are not limited to, unrealized hedging gains/losses, impairments, restructuring
charges, non-operating foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on divestitures, income taxes related to divestitures and adjustments to normalize the effect of income taxes calculated using the estimated annual effective income tax rate.

Upstream Operating Cash Flow, excluding Hedging
Upstream Operating Cash Flow, excluding Hedging is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts the Canadian and USA Operations revenues, net of royalties for production
and mineral taxes, transportation and processing expense, operating expense and the impacts of realized hedging. Management monitors Upstream Operating Cash Flow, excluding Hedging as it reflects operating performance and measures the Companys
portfolio transition to higher margin production. Upstream Operating Cash Flow, excluding Hedging is reconciled to GAAP measures in the Results of Operations section of this MD&A. The table below totals Upstream Operating Cash Flow for Encana.

Operating Netback
Operating Netback is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry to measure operating performance by product. Operating Netbacks are calculated by
determining product revenues, net of royalties and deducting costs associated with delivering the product to market, including production and mineral taxes, transportation and processing expense and operating expense. The Operating Netback
calculation is shown in the Results of Operations section of this MD&A.

Risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations and development of our business include, but are not
limited to: the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet the Companys obligations; commodity price volatility; ability to secure adequate product transportation and potential pipeline curtailments; variability of dividends to be paid;
the timing and costs of well, facilities and pipeline construction; business interruption and casualty losses or unexpected technical difficulties; counterparty and credit risk; risk and effect of a downgrade in credit rating, including access to
capital markets; fluctuations in currency and interest rates; assumptions based upon the Companys 2015 corporate guidance; failure to achieve anticipated results from cost and efficiency initiatives; risks inherent in marketing operations;
risks associated with technology; the Companys ability to acquire or find additional reserves; imprecision of reserves estimates and estimates of recoverable quantities of natural gas and liquids from resource plays and other sources not
currently classified as proved, probable or possible reserves or economic contingent resources, including future net revenue estimates; risks associated with past and future divestitures of certain assets or other transactions or receive amounts
contemplated under the transaction agreements (such transactions may include third-party capital investments, farm-outs or partnerships, which Encana may refer to from time to time as partnerships or joint ventures and the
funds received in respect thereof which Encana may refer to from time to time as proceeds, deferred purchase price and/or carry capital, regardless of the legal form) as a result of various conditions not being
met; and other risks and uncertainties impacting Encanas business as described from time to time in Encanas annual MD&A, financial statements, Annual Information Form and Form 40-F, as filed on SEDAR and EDGAR.
Although Encana believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations
will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions, risks and uncertainties referenced above are not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are made as of the date of this document and, except as
required by law, Encana undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.
Encana is required to disclose events and circumstances that occurred during the period to which this MD&A relates that are reasonably likely to cause
actual results to differ materially from material forward-looking statements for a period that is not yet complete that Encana has previously disclosed to the public and the expected differences thereto. Such disclosure can be found in Encanas
news release dated July 24, 2015, which is available on Encanas website at www.encana.com, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Oil and Gas Information
National Instrument 51-101 (NI 51-101) of the Canadian Securities Administrators imposes oil and gas disclosure standards for Canadian public
companies engaged in oil and gas activities. The Canadian protocol disclosure is contained in Appendix A and under Narrative Description of the Business in the Companys Annual Information Form (AIF). Encana obtained an
exemption dated January 4, 2011 from certain requirements of NI 51-101 to permit it to provide certain disclosure prepared in accordance with U.S. disclosure requirements, in addition to the Canadian protocol disclosure. The Companys U.S.
protocol disclosure is included in Note 26 (unaudited) to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and in Appendix D of the AIF.
Further, Encana obtained an exemption dated January 21, 2015 from certain requirements of NI 51-101 to permit it to use the definition of
product type contained in the amendments to NI 51-101, published by the securities regulatory authority in each of the jurisdictions of Canada on December 4, 2014 that came into force on July 1, 2015, as it relates to its
Canadian protocol disclosure contained in Appendix A of the AIF.
A description of the primary differences between the disclosure requirements under the
Canadian standards and under the U.S. standards is set forth under the heading Reserves and Other Oil and Gas Information in the AIF.
Natural Gas, Oil and NGLs Conversions
In this document,
certain natural gas volumes have been converted to BOE on the basis of six Mcf to one bbl. BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of 6:1 is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable
at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalency at the wellhead.
Given that the value ratio based on the current price of natural gas as
compared to oil is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
Play and Resource Play
Play is a term used by Encana
which encompasses resource plays, geological formations and conventional plays. Resource play is a term used by Encana to describe an accumulation of hydrocarbons known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section, which, when
compared to a conventional play, typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk and lower average decline rate.
Additional
Information
Further information regarding Encana Corporation, including its AIF, can be accessed under the Companys public filings found on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on the Companys website at www.encana.com.
