Unless the context otherwise indicates, references to “us,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” “Encana” and the “Company” refer to Encana Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. In addition, the following are other abbreviations and definitions of certain terms used within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:
“AECO” means Alberta Energy Company and is the Canadian benchmark price for natural gas.

CONVERSIONS
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a conversion of natural gas volumes to BOE is on the basis of six Mcf to one bbl. BOE is based on a generic energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent economic value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas 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, particularly if used in isolation.
CONVENTIONS
Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, all references to “dollars”, “$” or “US$” are to U.S. dollars and all references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars. All amounts are provided on a before tax basis, unless otherwise stated. In addition, all information provided herein is presented on an after royalties basis.
The term “liquids” is used to represent oil, NGLs and condensate. The term “liquids rich” is used to represent natural gas streams with associated liquids volumes. The term “play” is used to describe an area in which hydrocarbon accumulations or prospects of a given type occur. Encana’s focus of development is on hydrocarbon accumulations known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section and are developed using hydraulic fracturing. This type of development
3
typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk and lower average decline rate, when compared to conventional development.
The term “core asset” refers to plays that are the focus of the Company’s current capital investment and development plan. The Company continually reviews funding for development of its plays based on strategic fit, profitability and portfolio diversity and, as such, the composition of plays identified as a core asset may change over time.
References to information contained on the Company’s website at www.encana.com are not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute a part of, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK

Readers are cautioned against unduly relying on forward-looking statements which, by their nature, involve numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause such statements not to occur, or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These assumptions include: future commodity prices and differentials; foreign exchange rates; ability to access credit facilities and shelf prospectuses; assumptions contained in the Company’s corporate guidance, five-year plan and as specified herein; data contained in key modeling statistics; availability of attractive hedges and enforceability of risk management program; effectiveness of the Company’s drive to productivity and efficiencies; results from innovations; expectation that counterparties will fulfill their obligations under the gathering, midstream and marketing agreements; access to transportation and processing facilities where Encana operates; assumed tax, royalty and regulatory regimes; and expectations and projections made in light of, and generally consistent with, Encana’s historical experience and its perception of historical trends, including with respect to the pace of technological development, benefits achieved and general industry expectations.
4
Risks and uncertainties that may affect these business outcomes include: ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet obligations; commodity price volatility; ability to secure adequate transportation and potential pipeline curtailments; variability and discretion of Encana’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) to declare and pay dividends, if any; timing and costs of well, facilities and pipeline construction; business interruption, property and casualty losses or unexpected technical difficulties, including impact of weather; counterparty and credit risk; impact of a downgrade in credit rating and its impact on access to sources of liquidity; fluctuations in currency and interest rates; risks inherent in the Company’s corporate guidance; failure to achieve cost and efficiency initiatives; risks inherent in marketing operations; risks associated with technology; changes in or interpretation of royalty, tax, environmental, greenhouse gas, carbon, accounting and other laws or regulations; risks associated with existing and potential lawsuits and regulatory actions made against the Company; impact of disputes arising with its partners, including suspension of certain obligations and inability to dispose of assets or interests in certain arrangements; the Company’s ability to acquire or find additional reserves; imprecision of reserves estimates and estimates of recoverable quantities, including future net revenue estimates; risks associated with past and future acquisitions or divestitures of certain assets or other transactions or receipt of 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 described herein and in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (“2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and risks and uncertainties impacting Encana's business as described from time to time in the Company's other periodic filings with the SEC.
Although the Company believes 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. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.
The reader should read carefully the risk factors described herein and in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements.

Encana is in the business of the exploration for, the development of, and the production and marketing of oil, NGLs and natural gas.
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Encana and entities in which it holds a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Undivided interests in oil and natural gas 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 are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and disclosures normally required under U.S. GAAP 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, 2017, which are included in Item 8 of Encana’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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, 2017, except as noted below in Note 2. The disclosures provided below are incremental to those included with the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of Management, all normal and recurring adjustments, with the exception of an out-of-period adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as described in Note 6, which are 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Changes in Accounting Policies and Practices
On January 1, 2018, Encana adopted the following ASUs issued by the FASB, which have not had a material impact on the Company's interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:
|
• |
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” under Topic 606. The new standard replaces Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” as well as other industry-specific guidance within the Accounting Standards Codification. Topic 606 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 has been applied using the modified retrospective approach and did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, other than enhancing disclosures related to the disaggregation of revenues from contracts with customers and performance obligations. The disclosures required under Topic 606 are included in Note 4, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. |
|
• |
ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”. The amendment requires the service cost component to be presented with the related employee compensation costs, while the other components of net benefit costs are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and outside the subtotal of income from operations. In addition, the amendment allows only the service cost to be eligible for capitalization. The amendment has been applied retrospectively for the presentation of net periodic pension costs and net periodic postretirement benefit cost, whereas prospective adoption has been applied to the capitalization of the service cost component. |
|

|
New Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted
As of January 1, 2019, Encana will be required to adopt ASU 2016-02, “Leases” under Topic 842, which will replace Topic 840 “Leases”. The new standard will require lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities for all leases, including leases classified as operating leases, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The dual classification model was retained for the purpose of subsequent measurement and presentation of leases in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Topic 842 also expands disclosures related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach and provides for certain practical expedients at the date of adoption. In January 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842”, which permits entities to elect an optional transition practical expedient for land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. The expedient provides prospective application of Topic 842 to all new or modified land easements upon adoption of the new standard. Encana intends to elect this transitional practical expedient. Topic 842 also allows a short-term lease exemption which does not require a right-of-use asset and lease liability to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet when the lease term is 12 months or less, including any renewal periods which are reasonably certain to be exercised. Encana intends to elect the short-term lease exemption.
Encana continues to review and analyze contracts, identify its portfolio of leased assets, gather the necessary terms and data elements, as well as identify the processes and controls required to support the accounting for leases and related disclosures. The Company is in the process of implementing a lease software system which will facilitate the measurement and required disclosures for operating leases. The Company anticipates the software implementation to be complete by the end of 2018. Although Encana is not able to reasonably estimate the financial impact of Topic 842 at this time, the Company anticipates there will be an increase in right of use assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of January 1, 2019, Encana will be required to adopt ASU 2018-02 “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The amendments allow for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”). Amendments can be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the rate change from the U.S. Tax Reform is recognized. While Encana has other post-employment benefit plans which were affected by the U.S. Tax Reform, the impact is not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, the Company does not intend to take the election provided in the amendment.
As of January 1, 2020, Encana will be required to adopt ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendment eliminates the second step of the goodwill impairment test which requires the Company to measure the impairment based on the excess amount of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of its goodwill. Under this amendment, the goodwill impairment will be measured based on the excess amount of the reporting unit’s carrying value over its respective fair value. The amendment will be applied prospectively at the date of adoption. Encana is currently in the early stages of reviewing the amendment, but does not expect the amendment to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

|
Encana’s reportable segments are determined based on the Company’s operations and geographic locations as follows:
• |
Canadian Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of oil, NGLs and natural gas and other related activities within the Canadian cost centre. |
• |
USA Operations includes the exploration for, development of, and production of oil, NGLs and natural gas and other related activities within the U.S. cost centre. |
• |
Market Optimization is primarily responsible for the sale of the Company’s 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 and cost mitigation 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 Company’s 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. Corporate and Other also includes amounts related to sublease rentals.

Canadian Operations, USA Operations and Market Optimization include realized gains/(losses) on risk management. Corporate & Other includes unrealized gains/(losses) on risk management. |
The Company’s revenues from contracts with customers consists of product sales including oil, NGLs and natural gas, as well as the provision of gathering and processing services to third parties. Encana had no contract asset or liability balances during the periods presented. As at June 30, 2018, receivables and accrued revenues from contracts with customers were $715 million ($676 million as at December 31, 2017).
Performance obligations arising from product sales contracts are typically satisfied at a point in time when the product is delivered to the customer and control is transferred. Payment from the customer is due when the product is delivered to the custody point. The Company’s product sales are sold under short-term contracts with terms that are less than one year at either fixed or market index prices or under long-term contracts exceeding one year at market index prices.
As at June 30, 2018, all remaining performance obligations are priced at market index prices or are variable volume delivery contracts. As such, the variable consideration is allocated entirely to the wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or promise to deliver units of production, and revenue is recognized at the amount for which the Company has the right to invoice the product delivered.
Performance obligations arising from arrangements to gather and process natural gas on behalf of third parties are typically satisfied over time as the service is provided to the customer. Payment from the customer is due when the customer receives the benefit of the service and the product is delivered to the custody point or plant tailgate. The Company’s gathering and processing services are provided on an interruptible basis with transaction prices that are for fixed prices and/or variable

|
consideration. Variable consideration received is related to recovery of plant operating costs or escalation of the fixed price based on a consumer price index. As the service contracts are interruptible, with service provided on an “as available” basis, there are no unsatisfied performance obligations remaining at June 30, 2018.

The unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss on translation of U.S. dollar financing debt issued from Canada for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 disclosed in the table above included an out-of-period adjustment in respect of unrealized losses on a foreign-denominated capital lease obligation since December 2013. The cumulative impact recognized within foreign exchange (gain) loss in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $68 million, before tax ($47 million, after tax). Encana determined that the adjustment was not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2017 or any prior periods.

Encana’s interim income tax expense is determined using the estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year-to-date net earnings before income tax plus the effect of legislative changes and amounts in respect of prior periods. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is impacted by expected annual earnings, income tax related to foreign operations, the effect of legislative changes including U.S. Tax Reform, non-taxable capital gains and losses, tax differences on divestitures and transactions, and partnership tax allocations in excess of funding.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the current income tax recovery was primarily due to the resolution of certain tax items relating to prior taxation years. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the current income tax recovery was primarily due to the successful resolution of certain tax items previously assessed by the taxing authorities relating to prior taxation years.
The effective tax rate of 100 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is higher than the Canadian statutory rate of 27 percent primarily due to the current year items discussed above. The effective tax rate of (0.1) percent for the six months ended June 30, 2017 is lower than the Canadian statutory rate of 27 percent primarily due to the impact of the foreign jurisdictional tax rates relative to the Canadian statutory tax rate applied to jurisdictional earnings as well as the items discussed above.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there was no change to the provisional tax adjustment recognized in 2017 resulting from the re-measurement of the Company’s tax position due to a reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate under U.S. Tax Reform. The provisional amount recognized may change due to additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and from additional analysis or changes in interpretation and assumptions of the U.S. Tax Reform made by the Company.

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, 2018 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 Encana’s 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, outstanding TSARs are not considered potentially dilutive securities.
Encana Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)
Encana has a share-based compensation plan whereby eligible employees and Directors are granted RSUs. An RSU is a conditional grant to receive the equivalent of an Encana common share upon vesting of the RSUs and in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan and Grant Agreement. The Company currently settles vested RSUs in cash. As a result, RSUs are not considered potentially dilutive securities.

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. 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 VIE’s 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. Encana’s maximum exposure is the expected lease payments over the initial contract term. As at June 30, 2018, Encana had a capital lease obligation of $278 million ($314 million as at December 31, 2017) related to the PFC.
Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership
Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership (“VMLP”) provides gathering, compression and processing services under various agreements related to the Company’s development of liquids and natural gas production in the Montney play. As at June 30, 2018, VMLP provides approximately 1,150 MMcf/d of natural gas gathering and compression and 887 MMcf/d of natural gas processing under long-term service agreements with remaining terms ranging from up to 13 to 27 years and have various renewal terms providing up to a potential maximum of 10 years.
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 VMLP’s 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 various long-term service agreements and include: i) a take or pay for volumes in certain agreements; ii) an operating fee of which a portion can be converted into a fixed fee once VMLP assumes operatorship of certain assets; and iii) a potential payout of minimum costs in certain agreements. 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 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.
As a result of Encana’s involvement with VMLP, the maximum total exposure, which represents the potential exposure to Encana in the event the assets under the agreements are deemed worthless, is estimated to be $2,382 million as at June 30, 2018. The estimate comprises the take or pay volume commitments and the potential payout of minimum costs. The take or pay volume commitments associated with certain gathering and processing assets are included in Note 21 under Transportation and Processing. The potential payout requirement is highly uncertain as the amount is contingent on future production estimates, pace of development and the amount of capacity contracted to third parties. As at June 30, 2018, there were no accounts payable and accrued liabilities outstanding related to the take or pay commitment.

Compensation Plans |
Encana has a number of compensation arrangements under which the Company awards various types of long-term incentive grants to eligible employees and Directors. They may include TSARs, Performance TSARs, SARs, Performance Share Units (“PSUs”), Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) and RSUs. These compensation arrangements are share-based.
Encana accounts for TSARs, Performance TSARs, SARs, PSUs and RSUs held by 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.

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.
Recurring fair value measurements are performed for risk management assets and liabilities and other derivative contracts, as discussed further in Note 19. 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 following tables. There have been no significant transfers between the hierarchy levels during the period.
|
28 |
|
Fair value changes and settlements for amounts related to risk management assets and liabilities are recognized in revenues, transportation and processing expense, and foreign exchange gains and losses according to their purpose.

Netting to offset derivative assets and liabilities where the legal right and intention to offset exists, or where counterparty master netting arrangements contain provisions for net settlement. |
The Company’s Level 1 and Level 2 risk management assets and liabilities consist of commodity fixed price contracts, fixed price swaptions, NYMEX call options, foreign currency swaps and basis swaps with terms to 2023. Level 2 also includes financial guarantee contracts as discussed in Note 19. 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, 2018, the Company’s Level 3 risk management assets and liabilities consist of WTI three-way options and WTI costless collars with terms to 2019. The WTI three-way options are a combination of a sold call, bought put and a sold put. The WTI costless collars are a combination of a sold call and a bought put. These contracts allow the Company to participate in the upside of commodity prices to the ceiling of the call option and provide the Company with complete (collars) or partial (three-way) downside price protection through the put options. The fair values of the WTI three-way options and WTI costless collars are based on the income approach and are modelled using observable and unobservable inputs such as implied volatility. The unobservable inputs are obtained from third parties whenever possible and reviewed by the Company for reasonableness.
A summary of changes in Level 3 fair value measurements for the six months ended June 30 is presented below:

Financial Instruments and Risk Management |
A) Financial Instruments
Encana’s financial assets and liabilities are recognized in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued revenues, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, risk management assets and liabilities, long-term debt and other liabilities and provisions.
B) Risk Management Activities
Encana uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to cash flow variability from commodity prices and fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, gains and losses from changes in the fair value are recognized in net earnings.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk arises from the effect that 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 Company’s policy is to not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
|
30 |
|
Crude Oil and NGLs - To partially mitigate crude oil and NGL commodity price risk, the Company uses WTI-based and Mont Belvieu-based contracts such as fixed price contracts, fixed price swaptions, options and costless collars. Encana has also entered into basis swaps to manage against widening price differentials between various production areas and benchmark price points.
Natural Gas - To partially mitigate natural gas commodity price risk, the Company uses NYMEX-based contracts such as fixed price contracts, fixed price swaptions and options. Encana has also entered into basis swaps to manage against widening price differentials between various production areas and benchmark price points.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial assets or liabilities. To partially mitigate the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on future commodity revenues and expenses, the Company may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts. As at June 30, 2018, Encana has entered into $358 million notional U.S. dollar denominated currency swaps at an average exchange rate of US$0.7606 to C$1, which mature monthly through the remainder of 2018 and $250 million notional U.S. dollar denominated currency swaps at an average exchange rate of US$0.7581 to C$1, which mature monthly throughout 2019.

C) 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. While exchange-traded contracts are subject to nominal credit risk due to the financial safeguards established by the New York Stock Exchange and the TSX, over-the-counter traded contracts expose Encana to counterparty credit risk. This credit risk exposure is mitigated through the use of credit policies approved by the Board of Directors governing the Company’s 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 a result of netting provisions, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss under derivative financial instruments due to credit risk is limited to the net amounts due from the counterparties under the derivative contracts, as disclosed in Note 18. As at June 30, 2018, the Company had no significant credit derivatives in place and held no collateral.
As at June 30, 2018, 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 that have investment grade credit ratings.
A substantial portion of the Company’s accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. As at June 30, 2018, approximately 92 percent (92 percent as at December 31, 2017) of Encana’s accounts receivable and financial derivative credit exposures were with investment grade counterparties.
As at June 30, 2018, Encana had two counterparties 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, 2018, these counterparties accounted for 47 percent and 11 percent of the fair value of the outstanding in-the-money net risk management contracts. As at December 31, 2017, Encana had three counterparties whose net settlement position accounted for 56 percent, 11 percent and 11 percent of the fair value of the outstanding in-the-money net risk management contracts.
During 2015 and 2017, Encana entered into agreements resulting from divestitures, which may require Encana to fulfill certain payment obligations on the take or pay volume commitments assumed by the purchasers. The circumstances that would require Encana to perform under the agreements include events where a purchaser fails to make payment to the guaranteed party and/or a purchaser is subject to an insolvency event. The agreements have remaining terms from three to six years with a fair value recognized of $17 million as at June 30, 2018 ($19 million as at December 31, 2017). The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments is $287 million as at June 30, 2018, and is considered unlikely.

Encana is involved in various legal claims and actions arising in the normal course of the Company’s 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 Encana’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Management’s assessment of these matters may change in the future as certain of these matters are in early stages or are subject to a number of uncertainties. For material matters that the Company believes an unfavourable outcome is reasonably possible, the Company discloses the nature and a range of potential exposures. If an unfavourable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material impact on the Company’s consolidated net earnings or loss for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on the Company’s information known about the matters, estimates of the outcomes of such matters and experience in handling similar matters.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The MD&A is intended to provide a narrative description of Encana’s business from management’s perspective. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes for the period ended June 30, 2018 (“Consolidated Financial Statements”), which are included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in Items 8 and 7, respectively, of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Common industry terms and abbreviations are used throughout this MD&A and are defined in the Definitions, Conversions and Conventions sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This MD&A includes the following sections:
Strategy
Encana is a leading North American energy producer that is focused on developing its multi-basin portfolio of oil, NGLs and natural gas producing plays. 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 exercising a disciplined capital allocation strategy by investing in a limited number of core assets, growing high margin liquids volumes, maximizing profitability through operating efficiencies and reducing costs, and preserving balance sheet strength.
In executing its strategy, Encana focuses on its core values of One, Agile and Driven, which guide the organization to be flexible, responsive, determined and motivated with a commitment to excellence and a passion to succeed as a unified team.
Encana continually reviews and evaluates its strategy and changing market conditions. In 2018, Encana continues to focus on quality growth from high margin, scalable projects located in some of the best plays in North America, referred to as the “Core Assets”, comprising Montney and Duvernay in Canada and Eagle Ford and Permian in the U.S. These world-class assets form a multi-basin portfolio enabling flexible and efficient investment of capital. The Company rapidly deploys successful ideas and practices across these assets, becoming more efficient as innovative and sustainable technical improvements are implemented.
For additional information on Encana’s strategy, its reporting segments and the plays in which the Company operates, refer to Items 1 and 2 of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In evaluating its operations and assessing its leverage, the Company reviews performance-based measures such as Non-GAAP Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Cash Flow Margin and debt-based metrics such as Debt to Adjusted Capitalization and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures and do not have any standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These measures may not be similar to measures presented by other issuers and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP. Further information regarding these measures, including reconciliations to the closest GAAP measure, can be found in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A.
37
During the first six months of 2018, Encana focused on executing its 2018 capital plan, maintaining operational efficiencies achieved in 2017 and minimizing the effect of inflationary costs. Higher revenues in the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017 resulting from higher liquids production volumes and benchmark prices. Liquids production volumes increased by 27 percent compared to 2017. Higher oil and NGL benchmark prices contributed to increases in Encana’s average realized oil and NGL prices of 36 percent and 31 percent, respectively. Encana is also focused on the diversification of the Company’s downstream markets to capture higher realized prices. Encana remains committed to delivering a business model that allows the Company to adapt to fluctuating commodity prices.

2018 Outlook
The oil and gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are inherently volatile. Oil prices during 2018 are expected to reflect global supply and demand dynamics as well as the geopolitical environment. The original OPEC agreement implemented in 2017 to limit output and the drawdowns of oil storage inventory levels were generally supportive of oil prices in the first half of 2018. At a meeting in June 2018, OPEC and certain non-OPEC countries agreed to increase future oil production, which could negatively impact prices for the remainder of the year. Conversely, oil supply outages resulting from geopolitical instability in major producing countries could positively impact prices for the remainder of the year.
Natural gas prices in 2018 will be affected by the timing of supply and demand growth. Natural gas prices in western Canada have seen significant negative price pressure as supply reached multi-year highs, surpassing regional demand and stressing effective pipeline capacity. Stronger condensate prices may also lend support to activity levels resulting in continued downward pressure on natural gas prices in the second half of 2018. Potential for improvement in U.S. natural gas prices remains limited due to continued substantial production increases in Northeast U.S. and associated gas production in the Permian Basin.
Company Outlook
Encana is positioned to be flexible in the current price environment in order to continue to achieve strong returns. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments which mitigate price volatility and help sustain revenues during periods of lower prices. A portion of the Company’s production is sold at prevailing market prices which also allows Encana to
39
participate in potential price increases. As at June 30, 2018, the Company has hedged approximately 128 Mbbls/d of expected oil and condensate production and 1,084 MMcf/d of expected natural gas production for the remainder of 2018. Additional information on Encana’s hedging program can be found in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Markets for crude oil and natural gas are exposed to different price risks. While the market price for crude oil tends to move in the same direction as the global market, the Permian Basin is experiencing wider differentials due to temporary local export capacity constraints. Natural gas prices may vary between geographic regions depending on local supply and demand conditions. Encana proactively utilizes transportation contracts to diversify the Company’s downstream markets and reduce significant exposure to any given market. Through a combination of derivative financial instruments and transportation capacity, Encana has mitigated the majority of its exposure to Midland and AECO pricing in 2018 and 2019. In addition, Encana continues to seek new markets to yield higher returns.
Capital Investment
Encana is on track to meet its full year capital investment guidance of $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion. During the first six months of 2018, the Company spent $1.1 billion, of which $488 million was directed to Permian where the Company has drilled 55 net wells and $325 million was directed to Montney with 81 net wells drilled. Capital investment in Permian is expected to be optimized by Encana’s cube development approach to maximize returns and recovery. Capital investment in Montney is expected to be allocated to both Cutbank Ridge and Pipestone with a focus on growing condensate volumes. The remainder of the capital investment was primarily directed to Eagle Ford and Duvernay and is expected to optimize production and margins.
Encana continually strives to improve well performance by lowering drilling and completion costs through innovative techniques. Encana's large-scale cube development model utilizes multi-well pads and advanced completion designs to access stacked pay resource to maximize returns and resource recovery from its reservoirs. The impact of Encana’s disciplined capital program and continuous innovation create flexibility and opportunity to grow cash flows and production volumes going forward.
Production
As part of the Company’s long-term growth strategy, Encana has significantly shifted its production mix to a more balanced portfolio in the recent years, thereby reducing the extent of exposure to market volatility of a particular commodity. During the first six months of 2018, average liquids production volumes were 150.3 Mbbls/d and average natural gas production volumes were 1,085 MMcf/d. The Company expects to deliver substantial liquids growth for the remainder of the year. The Company is on track to meet the full year 2018 guidance ranges for liquids production volumes of 165.0 Mbbls/d to 175.0 Mbbls/d and natural gas production volumes of 1,150 MMcf/d to 1,250 MMcf/d by year end as a result of the Company’s growth plans for Montney. Encana’s growth plans for Montney are supported by third party processing plants commissioned in 2017 and the second quarter of 2018, as well as the planned completion of the Pipestone liquids hub in the second half of 2018.
Operating Expenses
Efficiency improvements and lower service costs are expected to be maintained through the support of the Company’s culture of innovation and its focus on continuous improvement in operational execution. As activity in the industry accelerates, Encana expects to continue pursuing innovative ways to reduce upstream operating and administrative expenses. Operating costs in the first six months of 2018 are on track to meet the full year 2018 guidance ranges. Transportation and processing expense was $7.58 per BOE, while upstream operating expense and administrative expense, excluding long-term incentive costs, were $3.50 per BOE and $1.43 per BOE, respectively.
Service costs are expected to increase with higher activity in the oil and gas industry and the recovery of liquids prices. Encana continues to offset any inflationary pressures with efficiency improvements and effective supply chain management, including favorable price negotiations.

Revenues
Encana’s revenues are substantially derived from sales of oil, NGLs and natural gas production. Increases or decreases in Encana’s revenue, profitability and future production are highly dependent on the commodity prices the Company receives. Prices are market driven and fluctuate due to factors beyond the Company’s control, such as supply and demand, seasonality and geopolitical and economic factors. Canadian Operations realized prices are linked to Edmonton Condensate and AECO, as well as other downstream natural gas benchmarks, including Dawn. The USA Operations realized prices generally reflect WTI and NYMEX benchmark prices, as well as other downstream oil benchmarks. The other downstream benchmarks reflect the diversification of the Company’s markets. Realized NGL prices are significantly influenced by oil benchmark prices and the NGL production mix. Recent trends in benchmark prices relevant to Encana are shown in the table below.

Natural gas revenues for the second quarter and the first six months of 2018 exclude a royalty adjustment with no associated production volumes of $3 million and $14 million, respectively (2017 - $1 million and $1 million, respectively). |
Oil Revenues
Three months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
Oil revenues increased $186 million compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to:
|
• |
Higher average realized oil prices of $20.41 per bbl, or 44 percent, increased revenues by $158 million. The increase reflected a higher WTI benchmark price which was up 41 percent and exposure to other downstream benchmark prices in 2018 resulting from the diversification of the Company’s markets; and |
|
• |
Higher average oil production volumes of 7.2 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $28 million. Higher volumes were primarily due to successful drilling program in Permian (17.9 Mbbls/d), partially offset by natural declines in Eagle Ford (7.9 Mbbls/d) and asset sales (1.1 Mbbls/d), which mainly include the Piceance natural gas assets in the third quarter of 2017 and the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale assets in the second quarter of 2017. |
Six months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
Oil revenues increased $360 million compared to the first six months of 2017 primarily due to:
|
• |
Higher average realized oil prices of $17.21 per bbl, or 36 percent, increased revenues by $262 million. The increase reflected a higher WTI benchmark price which was up 30 percent and exposure to other downstream benchmark prices in 2018 resulting from the diversification of the Company’s markets. The increase was also due to improved regional pricing; and |
|
• |
Higher average oil production volumes of 11.4 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $98 million. Higher volumes were primarily due to successful drilling program in Permian (18.6 Mbbls/d), partially offset by natural declines in Eagle Ford (4.2 Mbbls/d) and asset sales (1.7 Mbbls/d), which mainly include the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale assets in the second quarter of 2017 and the Piceance natural gas assets in the third quarter of 2017. |
NGL Revenues
Three months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
NGL revenues increased $148 million compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to:
|
• |
Higher average realized NGL prices of $13.08 per bbl, or 42 percent, increased revenues by $72 million. The increase reflected higher WTI and Edmonton Condensate benchmark prices which were up 41 percent and 38 percent, respectively, as well as improved regional pricing; and |
|
• |
Higher average NGL production volumes of 23.2 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $76 million. Higher volumes were primarily due to successful drilling programs in Montney and Permian (31.6 Mbbls/d), partially offset by increased downtime resulting from scheduled plant maintenance for processing liquids rich volumes in Montney (3.6 Mbbls/d) and natural declines in Duvernay (2.6 Mbbls/d). |
43
Six months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
NGL revenues increased $245 million compared to the first six months of 2017 primarily due to:
|
• |
Higher average realized NGL prices of $10.25 per bbl, or 31 percent, increased revenues by $103 million. The increase reflected higher WTI and Edmonton Condensate benchmark prices which were up 30 percent and 26 percent, respectively, as well as improved regional pricing; and |
|
• |
Higher average NGL production volumes of 20.9 Mbbls/d increased revenues by $142 million. Higher volumes were primarily due to successful drilling programs in Montney and Permian (26.5 Mbbls/d), partially offset by increased downtime resulting from scheduled plant maintenance for processing liquids rich volumes in Montney (1.7 Mbbls/d), natural declines in Duvernay (1.7 Mbbls/d) and asset sales (1.4 Mbbls/d), which mainly include the Piceance natural gas assets in the third quarter of 2017. |
Natural Gas Revenues
Three months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
Natural gas revenues decreased $81 million compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to:
|
• |
Lower average realized natural gas prices of $0.70 per Mcf, or 27 percent, decreased revenues by $55 million. The decrease reflected lower NYMEX and AECO benchmark prices which were down 12 percent and 63 percent, respectively, partially offset by exposure to other downstream benchmark prices in 2018 resulting from the diversification of the Company’s markets; and |
|
• |
Lower average natural gas production volumes of 51 MMcf/d decreased revenues by $26 million. Lower volumes were primarily due to asset sales (294 MMcf/d), which mainly include the Piceance natural gas assets in the third quarter of 2017 and certain assets in Wheatland in the fourth quarter of 2017, lower activity in Other Upstream Operations (23 MMcf/d) and natural declines in Duvernay (10 MMcf/d), partially offset by successful drilling programs in Montney and Permian (258 MMcf/d), and decreased downtime resulting from scheduled plant maintenance in Montney (28 MMcf/d). |
Six months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
Natural gas revenues decreased $144 million compared to the first six months of 2017 primarily due to:
|
• |
Lower average realized natural gas prices of $0.48 per Mcf, or 18 percent, decreased revenues by $61 million. The decrease reflected lower NYMEX and AECO benchmark prices which were down 11 percent and 50 percent, respectively, partially offset by exposure to other downstream benchmark prices in 2018 resulting from the diversification of the Company’s markets; and |
|
• |
Lower average natural gas production volumes of 109 MMcf/d decreased revenues by $83 million. Lower volumes were primarily due to asset sales (299 MMcf/d), which mainly include the Piceance natural gas assets in the third quarter of 2017 and certain assets in Wheatland in the fourth quarter of 2017, and lower activity in Other Upstream Operations (46 MMcf/d), partially offset by successful drilling programs in Montney and Permian (228 MMcf/d) and decreased downtime resulting from scheduled plant maintenance in Montney (14 MMcf/d). |
Gains (Losses) on Risk Management, Net
As a means of managing commodity price volatility, Encana enters into commodity derivative financial instruments on a portion of its expected oil, NGL and natural gas production volumes. The Company’s commodity price mitigation program reduces volatility and helps sustain revenues during periods of lower prices. Further information on the Company’s commodity price positions as at June 30, 2018 can be found in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization
Proved properties within each country cost centre are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Depletion rates are impacted by impairments, acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange rates as well as fluctuations in 12-month average trailing prices which affect proved reserves volumes. Additional information can be found in the Critical Accounting Estimates section of the MD&A included in Item 7 of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Corporate assets are carried at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated service lives of the assets.

Interest
Interest expense primarily includes interest on Encana’s long-term debt arising from U.S. dollar denominated unsecured notes and balances drawn on the Company’s credit facilities. Encana also incurs interest on the Company’s long-term obligation for The Bow office building and capital leases. Further details on changes in interest can be found in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Foreign Exchange (Gain) Loss, Net
Foreign exchange gains and losses result from the impact of fluctuations in the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. Further details on changes in foreign exchange gains or losses can be found in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additional information on foreign exchange rates and the effects of foreign exchange rate changes can be found in Item 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In the second quarter of 2018, Encana recorded a net foreign exchange loss of $25 million compared to a net gain of $58 million in 2017. The change was primarily due to unrealized foreign exchange losses on the translation of U.S. dollar financing debt issued from Canada compared to gains in 2017 ($135 million) and on the translation of U.S. dollar risk management contracts issued from Canada compared to gains in 2017 ($29 million), partially offset by unrealized foreign exchange gains on the translation of intercompany notes compared to losses in 2017 ($72 million).
In the first six months of 2018, Encana recorded a net foreign exchange loss of $116 million compared to a net gain of $84 million in 2017. The change was primarily due to unrealized foreign exchange losses on the translation of U.S. dollar financing debt issued from Canada compared to gains in 2017 ($290 million) and on the translation of U.S. dollar risk management contracts issued from Canada compared to gains in 2017 ($42 million), partially offset by unrealized foreign exchange gains on the translation of intercompany notes compared to losses in 2017 ($54 million) and realized foreign exchange gains on the settlement of intercompany notes compared to losses in 2017 ($49 million).
Other (Gains) Losses, Net
Other (gains) losses, net primarily includes other non-recurring revenues or expenses and may also include items such as interest income on short-term investments, interest received from tax authorities, reclamation charges relating to decommissioned assets and earnings/losses from equity investments.
Other gains in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 primarily includes interest received of $26 million and $33 million, respectively, resulting from the successful resolution of certain tax items previously assessed by the tax authorities relating to prior taxation years.

Income Tax Expense (Recovery)
Three months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
In the second quarter of 2018, Encana recorded a higher current income tax recovery compared to 2017. The higher income tax recovery was primarily due to the resolution of certain tax items relating to prior taxation years.
Deferred income tax in the second quarter was a recovery compared to an expense in 2017 primarily due to:
|
• |
Net loss before income tax in 2018 compared to net earnings before income tax in 2017; and |
|
• |
A reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent resulting from U.S. Tax Reform. |
Six months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
In the first six months of 2018, Encana recorded a lower deferred income tax expense compared to 2017 primarily due to a net loss before income tax in 2018 compared to net earnings before income tax in 2017 and U.S. Tax Reform, both as discussed above.
There has been no change in 2018 to the provisional tax adjustment recognized in December 2017 resulting from the re‑measurement of the Company’s tax position due to a reduction of the U.S federal corporate tax rate under U.S. Tax Reform. Additional information on U.S. Tax Reform can be found in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Effective Tax Rate
Encana’s interim income tax expense is determined using the estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year-to-date net earnings before income tax plus the effect of legislative changes and amounts in respect of prior periods. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is impacted by expected annual earnings, income tax related to foreign operations, the effect of legislative changes including U.S. Tax Reform, non-taxable capital gains and losses, tax differences on divestitures and transactions, and partnership tax allocations in excess of funding. The Company’s effective tax rate was 31.7 percent for the second quarter and 100 percent for the first six months of 2018, which are higher than the Canadian statutory rate of 27 percent primarily due to the impact of the foreign jurisdictional tax rates relative to the Canadian statutory tax rate applied to jurisdictional earnings as well as the current year items discussed above.
Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation, including U.S. Tax Reform and potential Treasury Department regulations and guidance, in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are subject to change and interpretation. As a result, there are tax matters under review for which the timing of resolution is uncertain. The Company believes that the provision for income taxes is adequate.
52
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
The Company has the flexibility to access cash equivalents and a range of funding alternatives at competitive rates through committed revolving bank credit facilities as well as debt and equity capital markets. Encana closely monitors the accessibility of cost-effective credit and ensures that sufficient liquidity is in place to fund capital expenditures and dividend payments. In addition, the Company may use cash and cash equivalents, cash from operating activities, or proceeds from asset divestitures and share issuances to fund its operations or to manage its capital structure as discussed below. At June 30, 2018, $154 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by U.S. subsidiaries. The cash held by U.S. subsidiaries is accessible and may be subject to additional Canadian income taxes and U.S. withholding taxes if repatriated.
The Company’s capital structure consists of total shareholders’ equity plus long-term debt, including the current portion. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility to preserve Encana’s access to capital markets and its ability to meet financial obligations and finance internally generated growth, as well as potential acquisitions. Encana has a practice of maintaining capital discipline and strategically managing its capital structure by adjusting capital spending, adjusting dividends paid to shareholders, issuing new shares, purchasing shares for cancellation through a NCIB, issuing new debt or repaying existing debt.

A non-GAAP measure which is defined in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A. |
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company amended the capacity of its Encana Credit Facility from $3.0 billion to $2.5 billion and extended the maturity for both Credit Facilities to July 2022.
Encana is currently in compliance with, and expects that it will continue to be in compliance with, all financial covenants under the Credit Facilities. Management monitors Debt to Adjusted Capitalization, which is a non-GAAP measure defined in the Non-GAAP Measures section of this MD&A, as a proxy for Encana’s financial covenant under the Credit Facilities, which requires 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 Company’s January 1, 2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP. Additional information on financial covenants can be found in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Operating Activities
Cash from operating activities in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 was $475 million and $856 million, respectively, and was primarily a reflection of recovering commodity prices, changes in production volumes, the Company’s efforts in maintaining cost efficiencies achieved in previous years and changes in non-cash working capital. Additional detail on changes in non-cash working capital can be found in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Encana expects it will continue to meet the payment terms of its suppliers.
Non-GAAP Cash Flow in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 was $586 million and $986 million, respectively. Non-GAAP Cash Flow was primarily impacted by the items affecting cash from operating activities which are discussed below and in the Results of Operations section of this MD&A.
Three months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
Net cash from operating activities increased $257 million compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to:
|
• |
Higher realized commodity prices ($175 million), higher production volumes ($78 million), higher current tax recovery ($46 million) and changes in non-cash working capital ($23 million); |
partially offset by:
|
• |
Higher transportation and processing expense ($66 million) and lower interest income recorded in other gains ($25 million). |
Six months ended June 30, 2018 versus June 30, 2017
Net cash from operating activities increased $532 million compared to the first six months of 2017 primarily due to:
|
• |
Higher realized commodity prices ($304 million), changes in non-cash working capital ($175 million) and higher production volumes ($157 million); |
partially offset by:
|
• |
Higher transportation and processing expense ($103 million) and lower interest income recorded in other gains ($31 million). |
54
Cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2018 was $960 million primarily due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2018 increased $289 million compared to 2017 due to an increase in the Company’s capital program for 2018. This increase was primarily in Montney ($202 million) and Permian ($63 million). Capital expenditures exceeded cash from operating activities by $247 million and the difference was funded using cash on hand and proceeds from divestitures.
Divestitures in the first six months of 2018 were $65 million, which primarily included the sale of the Pipestone midstream assets in Alberta. Divestitures in the first six months of 2017 were $85 million, which primarily included the sale of the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale assets in Mississippi and Louisiana, as well as the sale of certain properties that did not complement Encana’s existing portfolio of assets.
Acquisitions in the first six months of 2018 and 2017 were $2 million and $48 million, respectively, which primarily included land purchases with oil and liquids rich potential.
Capital expenditures and acquisition and divestiture activity are summarized in Notes 3 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2018 increased $205 million compared to the first six months of 2017. The change was primarily due to the purchase of common shares under a NCIB in the first six months of 2018 ($200 million) as discussed below.
Encana’s long-term debt, excluding the current portion, totaled $3,698 million at June 30, 2018 and $4,197 million at December 31, 2017. The current portion of long-term debt outstanding was $500 million at June 30, 2018. There was no current portion of long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2017. Encana has no long-term debt maturities until May 2019 and, as at June 30, 2018, over 73 percent of the Company’s debt is not due until 2030 and beyond.
The Company continues to have full access to the Credit Facilities, which remain committed through July 2022. The Credit Facilities provide financial flexibility and allow the Company to fund its operations, development activities or capital program. At June 30, 2018, Encana had no outstanding balance under the Credit Facilities and $147 million in undrawn letters of credit issued in the normal course of business primarily as collateral security, to support future abandonment liabilities and for transportation arrangements.
Dividends
Encana pays quarterly dividends to shareholders at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Normal Course Issuer Bid
On February 26, 2018, Encana received approval from the TSX to commence a NCIB that enables the Company to purchase, for cancellation, up to 35 million common shares over a 12-month period from February 28, 2018 to February 27, 2019. The number of shares authorized for purchase represents approximately 3.6 percent of Encana’s issued and outstanding common shares as at February 20, 2018. The Company has authorization from its Board to spend up to $400 million on the NCIB. For the second quarter and first six months of 2018, the Company used cash on hand to purchase approximately 6.8 million and 16.8 million common shares, respectively, for total consideration of approximately $89 million and $200 million, respectively.

For additional information on NCIB, refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For information on off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions, refer to the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements section of the MD&A included in Item 7 of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Commitments and Contingencies
For information on commitments and contingencies, refer to Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP. 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 Company’s liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. Non-GAAP measures include: Non-GAAP Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Cash Flow Margin, Debt to Adjusted Capitalization and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Management’s use of these measures is discussed further below.
Non-GAAP Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Cash Flow Margin
Non-GAAP Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash from (used in) operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, net change in non-cash working capital and current tax on sale of assets.
Non-GAAP Cash Flow Margin is a non-GAAP measure defined as Non-GAAP Cash Flow per BOE of production.
Management believes these measures are useful to the Company and its investors as a measure of operating and financial performance across periods and against other companies in the industry, and are an indication of the Company’s ability to generate cash to finance capital programs, to service debt and to meet other financial obligations. These measures are used, along with other measures, in the calculation of certain performance targets for the Company’s management and employees.

Debt to Adjusted Capitalization
Debt to Adjusted Capitalization is a non-GAAP measure which adjusts capitalization for historical ceiling test impairments that were recorded as at December 31, 2011. Management monitors Debt to Adjusted Capitalization as a proxy for Encana’s financial covenant under the Credit Facilities which require debt to adjusted capitalization to be less than 60 percent. Adjusted Capitalization includes debt, total shareholders’ equity and an equity adjustment for cumulative historical ceiling test impairments recorded as at December 31, 2011 in conjunction with the Company’s January 1, 2012 adoption of U.S. GAAP.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure whereby Net Debt is defined as long-term debt, including the current portion, less cash and cash equivalents and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as trailing 12-month net earnings (loss) before income taxes, DD&A, impairments, accretion of asset retirement obligation, interest, unrealized gains/losses on risk management, foreign exchange gains/losses, gains/losses on divestitures and other gains/losses.
Management believes this measure is useful to the Company and its investors as a measure of financial leverage, the Company’s ability to service its debt and other financial obligations, and as a measure considered comparable to other companies in the industry. This measure is used, along with other measures, in the calculation of certain financial performance targets for the Company’s management and employees.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about Encana’s potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the Company’s risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil, NGL and natural gas prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The following disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. The forward-looking information provides indicators of how the Company views and manages ongoing market risk exposures. The Company’s policy is to not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
Commodity price risk arises from the effect fluctuations in future commodity prices, including oil, NGLs and natural gas, may have on future revenues, expenses and cash flows. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to the Company’s natural gas production. Pricing for oil and natural gas production has been volatile and unpredictable as discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. To partially mitigate exposure to commodity price risk, the Company may enter into various derivative financial instruments including futures, forwards, swaps, options and costless collars. The use of these derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors and may vary from time to time. Both exchange traded and over-the-counter traded derivative instruments may be subject to margin-deposit requirements, and the Company may be required from time to time to deposit cash or provide letters of credit with exchange brokers or counterparties to satisfy these margin requirements. For additional information relating to the Company’s derivative and financial instruments, see Note 19 under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The table below summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s 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 as follows:

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 Company’s financial assets or liabilities. As Encana operates in Canada and the United States, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars can have a significant effect on the Company’s reported results. Although Encana’s financial results are consolidated in Canadian dollars, the Company reports its results in U.S. dollars as most of its revenues are closely tied to the U.S. dollar and to facilitate a more direct comparison to other North American oil and gas companies.
The table below summarizes selected foreign exchange impacts on Encana’s financial results when compared to the same periods in 2017.

Foreign exchange gains and losses also arise when monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated and settled, and primarily include:
|
• |
U.S. dollar denominated financing debt issued from Canada |
|
• |
U.S. dollar denominated risk management assets and liabilities held in Canada |
|
• |
U.S. dollar denominated cash and short-term investments held in Canada |
|
• |
Foreign denominated intercompany loans |
To partially mitigate the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on future commodity revenues and expenses, the Company may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts. As at June 30, 2018, Encana has entered into $358 million notional U.S. dollar denominated currency swaps at an average exchange rate of US$0.7606 to C$1, which mature monthly through the remainder of 2018 and $250 million notional U.S. dollar denominated currency swaps at an average exchange rate of US$0.7581 to C$1, which mature monthly throughout 2019.
As at June 30, 2018, Encana had $4.2 billion in U.S. dollar long-term debt and $278 million in U.S. dollar capital leases issued from Canada that were subject to foreign exchange exposure.
The table below summarizes the sensitivity to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, with all other variables held constant. The Company has used a 10 percent variability to assess the potential impact from Canadian to U.S. foreign currency exchange rate changes. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting pre-tax net earnings as follows:

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 Company’s 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.
As at June 30, 2018, the Company had no floating rate debt and there were no interest rate derivatives outstanding.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Encana’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in Encana’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2018 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
59
Please refer to Item 3 of the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 21 of Encana’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
