CEO’S MESSAGE
To Our Valued Stakeholders:
Despite a challenging 2024, we are focused on our strategic priorities by remaining committed to the Company’s brand 
promise to “Do it Safely, Do it Right, Do it Profitably”. The significant efforts of the Company’s 2,200+ employees over the 
past year were a testament to their commitment to excellence and the positive culture at Calfrac, which will serve us well in 
2025, despite some uncertainty in North America to start the year.
SAFETY IS FIRST AT CALFRAC
Safety has always been paramount at Calfrac and is the cornerstone of our Company’s culture. This culture is underpinned 
by a constant focus on extensive pre-job training, coupled with a safety management program while on location that either 
mitigates or removes risk exposures. I am pleased to report that the Company’s Total Recordable Injury Frequency rate in 
2024 decreased to 0.92 as compared to 1.05 in 2023, which is a record low on a calender year basis for Calfrac. This 
excellent result could not have been achieved without a company-wide commitment to the foundational element of our 
brand promise to “Do it Safely”.
MAXIMIZE NET INCOME AND FREE CASH FLOW TO STRENGTHEN THE BALANCE SHEET
We leveraged strong safety and operational performance to generate revenue, adjusted EBITDA and net income from 
continuing operations of approximately $1.6 billion, $191 million and $9 million, respectively. The Company’s operations in 
North America during 2024 were impacted by significant pricing pressure and lower utilization in the United States, 
particularly during the first quarter of the year, as some E&P clients deferred their completion programs to avoid the costs 
of operating during the cold winter months. However, the year was highlighted by record performance in Argentina which 
generated revenue of over $400 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $84 million, which was the highest in the 
Company’s history. The market conditions in Argentina continue to improve and 2025 is expected to be an exciting year 
with the full deployment of a second large fracturing fleet in the Vaca Muerta shale play that is planned for the end of the 
first quarter. Although long-term debt increased year-over-year, we remain focused on strengthening the balance sheet 
through improving our asset quality and divesting of non-core assets, which generated proceeds of $14.7 million in 2024. 
IMPROVE ASSET QUALITY
In 2024, we continued our multi-year fracturing fleet modernization program that focused our North American capital 
investments on the transition to Tier IV Dynamic Gas Blending (“DGB”) technology in order to meet increasing customer 
demand for next generation, lower emission dual-fuel efficient equipment. We are now operating the equivalent of four 
Tier IV DGB fleets and are planning to deploy a fifth fleet by the end of the first quarter of 2025. The Company plans to 
continue the equipment modernization program into 2025, as market conditions dictate, while assessing all areas of 
operations to ensure that we are investing in the right technologies across the entire business.
LOOKING FORWARD
Calfrac is looking forward to 2025 and will continue to build on our brand promise and operational expertise to make 
further progress on our key strategic priorities. We are excited about the prospects in North America and Argentina and 
believe that continued investment in next-generation technologies coupled with planned debt reduction will move the 
Company towards realizing our vision of becoming a best-in-class oilfield service company.

REVENUE
Revenue from Calfrac’s North American operations decreased to $1.2 billion in 2024 from $1.5 billion in 2023. The 24 
percent decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower activity in the United States, especially during the first quarter in 
the Rockies region, combined with lower pricing. In response to these market conditions, Calfrac idled two fracturing fleets 
in February and operated an average of 13 fleets in North America during 2024 as compared to 15 fleets in 2023. The third 
quarter of 2024 began slower than the prior year in North America, but gained momentum as the year progressed with the 
Company operating at near full utilization in September through to the end of November. After which, activity slowed due 
to a combination of customer budget exhaustion and a normal seasonal slowdown in December. In addition, activity for the 
Company’s coiled tubing operations decreased by 29 percent from 2023 due to lower demand for its six crewed units. 
ADJUSTED EBITDA
The Company’s operations in North America generated Adjusted EBITDA of $123.8 million during 2024 compared to $282.9 
million in 2023. This decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by lower fracturing and coiled tubing utilization in 2024 
as well as lower overall pricing levels in the United States. However, utilization was particularly strong for Calfrac’s 
fracturing fleets operating in Canada during May and June, as the completion programs of its core clients significantly 
increased.

REVENUE
Calfrac’s Argentinean operations generated revenue of $405.9 million during 2024 compared to $341.9 million in 2023 as 
the Company demonstrated strong activity growth across all service lines. The primary driver for the increase in revenue 
was higher fracturing activity in the Vaca Muerta shale play combined with the commencement of its offshore coiled tubing 
operations that began during the third quarter. Cementing revenue also increased due to the bundled nature of the 
Company’s contracted services in the Vaca Muerta shale play. 
ADJUSTED EBITDA
The Company’s operations in Argentina generated Adjusted EBITDA of $83.9 million or 21 percent of revenue during 2024 
versus $63.6 million or 19 percent of revenue in 2023 mainly due to a larger operating presence in the Vaca Muerta shale 
play during the third quarter and, to a lesser degree, the commencement of offshore coiled tubing operations during the 
third quarter.

ADJUSTED EBITDA
Corporate expenses from continuing operations were $16.6 million during 2024 versus $21.0 million in 2023. The $4.4 
million decrease in corporate expenses was primarily due to a reduction in financial performance-based compensation 
during 2024 as compared to 2023.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation expense from continuing operations increased by $19.3 million from $116.6 million in 2023 to $135.9 million 
in 2024 primarily due to the replacement of certain key components related to its fracturing operations in North America 
prior to the end of their estimated useful lives, which resulted in $4.5 million of additional depreciation expense being 
recorded in 2024. In addition, the Company revised its salvage value estimate for certain of its fracturing equipment 
components to align with current operational experience. This resulted in a one-time impact to depreciation expense of 
$12.2 million related to fully depreciated components. The remaining increase was due to the higher asset base resulting 
from the Company’s fleet modernization program. 
WRITE-OFF OF PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT
During 2024, the Company carried out a comprehensive review of its property, plant and equipment and identified assets 
that were permanently idle or obsolete, and therefore, no longer able to generate cash inflows. This review resulted in the 
write-off of $12.7 million related to specific U.S. fracturing assets. 
FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAINS AND LOSSES
The Company recorded a foreign exchange gain from continuing operations of $4.1 million in 2024 versus a loss of $22.4 
million in 2023. Foreign exchange gains and losses arise primarily from the translation of net monetary assets or liabilities 
that were held in U.S. dollars in Canada and net monetary assets or liabilities that were held in pesos in Argentina. The 
Company’s foreign exchange gain during 2024 was mainly due to the revaluation of net monetary assets that were held in 
U.S. dollars in Canada as the Canadian dollar weakened relative to the U.S. dollar, offset partially by net monetary assets 
that were held in pesos in Argentina as the peso devalued against the U.S. dollar during the year. This gain also included a 
net gain on foreign currency forward contracts of $0.9 million. 
INTEREST
The Company’s interest expense from continuing operations of $31.2 million in 2024 was $1.5 million higher than in 2023. 
The Company incurred higher interest expense on its revolving credit facilities as a result of higher average borrowings 
during the year, offset slightly by higher interest income generated from excess cash held in Argentina. The Company’s 
reported interest expense included $5.2 million of interest income generated in Argentina versus $5.0 million of interest 
income in the comparable year of 2023. 
INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded an income tax recovery from continuing operations of $3.5 million during 2024 compared to an 
expense of $4.1 million in 2023. The Company had current tax expense of $14.1 million which was primarily related to 
Argentina. The Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of approximately $17.6 million in the United States due to the 
loss incurred during the year.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
The Company’s cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $127.2 million versus 
$281.6 million in 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily due to lower operating results in North 
America combined with the Company using $42.8 million to fund the Company’s working capital during the year versus 
$35.2 million in 2023. The greater use of funds for working capital was due to the geographic mix and timing of the 
Company’s revenue during the year with a greater proportion generated in Argentina, which has longer lead times and 
collection terms than North America.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $43.9 million compared to a use of 
cash totalling $84.1 million in 2023. During the year, the Company borrowed $55.0 million on its credit facility, received 
$0.5 million from the issuance of common shares upon exercise of stock options, and paid lease principal payments of $11.6 
million.
As at December 31, 2024, the Company had credit facilities with a syndicate of lenders comprised of a $215.0 million 
syndicated facility and a $35.0 million operating facility. The maturity date of the Credit Facilities is the earlier of: (a) July 1, 
2026; or (b) six months prior to the maturity of the Second Lien Notes (see Note 6 of the annual consolidated financial 
statements), which mature on March 15, 2026.
At December 31, 2024, the Company reclassified the draw on its revolving credit facilities from long-term debt to current 
liabilities to reflect the six-month springing maturity provision under its credit facility agreement. Subsequent to year end, 
an amendment to the revolving credit facility agreement was executed with the Company's lending syndicate to shorten the 
springing maturity date to two months prior to the maturity date of the Second Lien Notes or January 15, 2026.
The Second Lien Notes indenture restricts the ability to incur additional indebtedness, although there are a number of 
exceptions to this prohibition, including the incurrence of additional debt under the credit facilities up to the greater of 
$375.0 million or 30 percent of the Company’s consolidated tangible assets plus a general basket equal to the greater of 4 
percent of the consolidated tangible assets and US$60.0 million. 
On June 25, 2024, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility agreement, a copy of which is available 
on SEDAR+, in anticipation of the benchmark rate reforms that occurred on June 28, 2024. The Canadian Dollar Offered 
Rate (CDOR) ceased publication on June 28, 2024 and was replaced by the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA). 
In addition, the amendments included a change to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA definition for financial covenant 
calculation purposes (“Bank EBITDA”). The revised definition of Bank EBITDA restricts Adjusted EBITDA derived from the 
Company’s Argentina operations to a maximum of 25 percent of total Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. The 
amendments also included the additional requirement that the Company maintain a minimum of $750.0 million of net 
tangible assets in North America or, as previously applied, have 75 percent of its net tangible assets from continuing 
operations located in North America. 
The Company may also prepay principal without penalty. The interest rates are based on the parameters of certain bank 
covenants. For prime-based loans and U.S. base-rate loans, the rate ranges from prime or U.S. base rate plus 1.25 percent 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
9

to prime plus 3.00 percent. For SOFR-based loans and CORRA-based loans, the margin thereon ranges from 2.25 percent to 
4.00 percent above the respective base rates.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had used $2.9 million of its credit facilities for letters of credit and had $150.0 million 
of borrowings under its credit facilities, leaving $97.1 million in available liquidity. 
The Company is subject to certain financial covenants relating to leverage and the generation of cash flow in respect of its 
operating and revolving credit facilities. These covenants are monitored on a monthly basis. As shown in the table below, 
the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants associated with its credit facilities at December 31, 2024.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Calfrac’s consolidated net cash used in investing activities was $169.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, 
which included $74.9 million related to the Company’s fracturing fleet modernization program in North America (2023 – 
$97.8 million), approximately $30.1 million of expansion capital in Argentina and $13.2 million in Canada to upgrade its fleet 
of sand transportation equipment. Capital expenditures from continuing operations were $170.3 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2024 versus $165.4 million in 2023.
Calfrac’s Board of Directors approved a 2025 capital budget totalling approximately $135.0 million. The program includes 
approximately $50.0 million to facilitate the expansion of the Company’s fracturing operations in the Vaca Muerta shale 
play in Argentina that will be funded locally from cash flow. The 2025 Argentina capital program includes additional 
fracturing pumping units and an expansion of its deep coiled tubing capabilities. The balance of the 2025 program will fund 
maintenance capital for all operating divisions as well as additional investments in the North American Tier IV fleet 
modernization program and coiled tubing fleet. Due to a delay in spending related to the Company’s 2024 capital program, 
approximately $30.0 million of additional capital expenditures, mainly related to the planned expansion in Argentina, will 
now occur in 2025. 
EFFECT OF EXCHANGE RATE CHANGES ON CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents during the year ended 
December 31, 2024 was a gain of $4.1 million versus a loss of $25.9 million in 2023. The gain was due to the impact of 
foreign exchange rate movements on cash, working capital and monetary liabilities held by the Company in U.S. dollars and 
Argentinean pesos during the year.
With its working capital position, available credit facilities, access to capital markets and anticipated funds provided by 
operations, the Company expects to have adequate resources to fund its financial obligations and planned capital 
expenditures.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had a cash position of $44.0 million from continuing operations, of which 
approximately 40 percent was held in Argentina. The Company faces certain restrictions on the amount and timing of cash 
that can be repatriated out of Argentina. These rules have moderated significantly since the fourth quarter of 2023 and 
have allowed for the repayment of new intercompany liabilities on an accelerated timeline. As the Argentinean economy 
and operations continue to improve, the Company will look to repatriate excess funds generated in Argentina, to the extent 
allowed, in order to reduce its debt position. The Argentina cash balance was primarily comprised of an investment in 
Argentinean government bonds (BOPREAL Bonds) that were recorded as a short-term investment due to the high degree of 
liquidity of the bonds. These bonds allow for the repatriation of this amount in cash to Canada which began in July 2024 
over a 12-month period of which the first six payments have been received. The Company’s cash balance excludes all cash

held in Russia (see note 4 of the annual consolidated financial statements). The Company is not expecting to repatriate any 
material cash amounts from Russia other than through any proceeds received through a sale of its Russian business. 
OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. Certain employees have been granted options 
to purchase common shares and performance share units under the Company’s shareholder-approved omnibus incentive 
plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan is equal to 10 percent of the Company’s issued and 
outstanding common shares. As at March 12, 2025, the Company had issued and outstanding 85,889,459 common shares, 
1,144,826 performance share units, 2,671,261 performance stock options, and 3,064,991 stock options.

VOLATILITY OF INDUSTRY CONDITIONS
The demand, pricing and terms for the Company's services largely depend upon the level of expenditures made by oil and 
gas companies on exploration, development and production activities in North America and Argentina. Expenditures by oil 
and gas companies are typically directly related to the demand for, and price of, oil and gas. Generally, when commodity 
prices and demand are predicted to be, or are relatively, high, demand for the Company's services is high. The converse is 
also true (refer to “Business Risks” below).
SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s North American business is seasonal. Historically, the lowest activity is typically experienced during the 
second quarter of the year when road weight restrictions are in place due to “spring break-up” weather conditions and 
access to well sites may be reduced in Canada and the broader Rockies region in the United States where the Company 
operates (refer to “Business Risks” below). Activity in the fourth quarter is typically impacted by customer budget 
exhaustion and seasonal holidays in North America. Over the last few years, a trend has been developing in North Dakota 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
11

and the broader Rockies region in the United States for customers to delay the ramp-up of their completion programs in the 
early part of the year due to increased costs and challenges operating in extreme cold weather that can prevail in the region 
in January and February. This trend, coupled with wellsite access enhancements, longer pad completions and the focus of 
core customers in Canada, has caused a shifting of activity levels for the Company from Q1 into Q2, and appears to be 
normalizing the impacts of spring-up break-up that had previously been significant. 
FOREIGN EXCHANGE FLUCTUATIONS
The Company’s financial statements are reported in Canadian dollars. Accordingly, the quarterly results from Calfrac’s 
continuing operations are directly affected by fluctuations in the United States and Argentinean foreign currency exchange 
rates (refer to “Business Risks” below).

FOURTH QUARTER 2024 OVERVIEW
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company:
•
generated revenue of $381.2 million, a decrease of 10 percent from the comparative quarter in 2023 primarily due to 
lower activity and pricing in North America, offset partially by activity with its new offshore coiled tubing unit in 
Argentina;
•
reported Adjusted EBITDA of $34.5 million versus $62.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to the lower 
revenue base in North America; 
•
recorded a $12.7 million write-off of property, plant and equipment related to specifically identified U.S. fracturing 
assets;
•
revised its salvage value estimate for certain of its fracturing equipment components to align with current operational 
experience. This change was adopted as a change in accounting estimate on a prospective basis, which resulted in a 
one-time depreciation charge of $12.2 million related to fully depreciated components;
•
recorded an income tax recovery of $15.6 million, which was mainly related to the conversion of non-repayable 
intercompany debt into equity in Argentina and lower profitability in the United States;
•
reported a net loss of $6.4 million or $0.07 per share diluted compared to a net income of $13.2 million or $0.15 per 
share diluted in the comparable quarter in 2023; 
•
reported period-end working capital of $273.9 million, which includes a cash balance of $44.0 million versus $236.4 
million at December 31, 2023; and
•
incurred capital expenditures of $33.0 million which included approximately $21.0 million to grow the fracturing fleet in 
Argentina and continue its Tier IV fleet modernization program in North America.

REVENUE
Revenue from Calfrac’s North American operations decreased to $289.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 from 
$331.7 million in the comparable quarter of 2023. The Company’s operations in North America had a strong start to the 
quarter, but witnessed a slow-down in activity as the quarter progressed due to a combination of customer budget 
exhaustion and a normal seasonal slowdown in December. The Company operated an average of 13 fleets during the fourth 
quarter in 2024 compared to 15 fleets in the comparable quarter of 2023 resulting in a 4 percent reduction in fracturing 
jobs completed. Pricing in the United states was lower relative to the comparable quarter in 2023, which contributed to the 
13 percent reduction in revenue. Coiled tubing revenue was consistent with the fourth quarter in 2023 as slightly lower 
activity was offset by the completion of larger jobs. 
ADJUSTED EBITDA
The Company’s operations in North America generated Adjusted EBITDA of $23.1 million or 8 percent of revenue during the 
fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $48.1 million or 14 percent of revenue in the same period in 2023. This decrease was 
primarily due to the decline in fracturing fleet utilization and lower pricing in the United States.

REVENUE
Calfrac’s Argentinean operations generated revenue of $91.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 versus $89.7 million 
in the comparable quarter in 2023. Activity from the Company’s new offshore coiled tubing unit contributed to the 
increased revenue during the fourth quarter. However, fracturing revenue and activity were hampered by unplanned 
downtime in the quarter due to customer well issues.
ADJUSTED EBITDA
The Company’s operations in Argentina generated Adjusted EBITDA of $15.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 
compared to $19.9 million in the same quarter of 2023, while the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased to 17 
percent from 22 percent. This decrease was primarily due to the unplanned downtime experienced during October.

ADJUSTED EBITDA
Corporate expenses during the fourth quarter of 2024 were $4.2 million or $1.2 million lower than the fourth quarter of 
2023 primarily due to a decrease in financial performance-based compensation.
DEPRECIATION
For the three months ended December 31, 2024, depreciation expense from continuing operations of $45.0 million was 
$14.6 million higher than the corresponding quarter in 2023. During the quarter, the Company revised its salvage value 
estimate for certain of its fracturing equipment components to align with current operational experience. This change 
resulted in a one-time impact of $12.2 million to depreciation expense related to fully depreciated components. The 
remaining increase was due to the higher asset base resulting from the Company’s fleet modernization program. 
WRITE-OFF OF PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT
In the fourth quarter, the Company recorded a write-off of $12.7 million of property, plant and equipment for specifically 
identified U.S. fracturing assets that were permanently obsolete and idle.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAINS AND LOSSES 
The Company recorded a foreign exchange gain from continuing operations of $8.7 million during the fourth quarter of 
2024 versus a loss of $14.5 million in the comparative three-month period of 2023. Foreign exchange gains and losses arise 
primarily from the translation of net monetary assets or liabilities that were held in pesos in Argentina and net monetary 
assets or liabilities that were held in U.S. dollars in Canada. The foreign exchange gain during the fourth quarter was mainly 
due to the revaluation of net monetary assets that were held in U.S. dollars in Canada as the Canadian dollar weakened 
relative to the U.S. dollar, offset partially by net monetary assets that were held in pesos in Argentina as the peso also 
devalued against the U.S. dollar during this period. 
INTEREST
The Company recorded a net interest expense from continuing operations of $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 
compared to $6.7 million in the comparable period in 2023. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher 
average revolving credit facility borrowings during the fourth quarter of 2024 which contributed to the increase in interest 
expense combined with a weaker Canadian dollar, which resulted in higher interest on the Company’s Second Lien Notes 
relative to the comparable quarter in 2023. The Company’s reported interest expense during the fourth quarter of 2024 
included $0.8 million of interest income generated primarily in Argentina compared to $1.4 million in the comparable 
quarter in 2023. 
INCOME TAXES
The Company had a current income tax recovery from continuing operations of $6.4 million during the fourth quarter of 
2024, which was primarily related to a recovery recorded in Argentina due to the conversion of intercompany debt into 
additional equity. This transaction allowed for the deduction of these intercompany charges in Argentina for income tax 
purposes and, as a result, significantly reduced the anticipated current tax expense for the year. This was partially offset by 
a withholding tax expense in Canada related to the settlement of these intercompany amounts. The Company also recorded 
a deferred tax recovery of $9.2 million in the United States due to the net loss, which included the $12.7 million write-off of 
PP&E incurred during the quarter.
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report

BUSINESS UPDATE AND OUTLOOK
Calfrac achieved revenue of $381.2 million during the fourth quarter, an 11 percent decline from the third quarter, primarily 
due to a normal seasonal slowdown in activity. During 2024, Calfrac improved upon its year-over-year safety record as it 
finished the year with a Total Recordable Injury Frequency (“TRIF”) of 0.92, as compared to 1.05 in 2023. Calfrac’s North 
American customer landscape continues to be impacted by consolidation and asset divestitures within the E&P industry. 
The Company expects to navigate these evolving market conditions through 2025 by prudently deploying capital and 
maximizing net income to generate sustainable returns for its shareholders. 
NORTH AMERICA
The Company’s North American outlook for the upcoming year remains stable despite the current uncertainty surrounding 
the tariff regimes in Canada and the United States as well as the significant E&P industry consolidation that has occurred 
over the past few years. With the completion of the Coastal GasLink Pipeline, the new LNG Canada project that is expected 
to start exporting by the second half of 2025, and the expanded Trans Mountain Pipeline now in commercial service, the 
market fundamentals for completion services in Canada remains constructive. With these projects, Canada now has 
additional capacity to export natural gas and oil, which should have a positive impact on the cash flows within the energy 
industry. Calfrac continues to have a strong core customer base in Canada and expects that fracturing and coiled tubing 
activity in 2025 will increase slightly over the prior year despite the uncertain macro-economic backdrop. In particular, the 
Company imports certain products, such as sand and chemicals and component parts from the United States, to support its 
Canadian operations which could be impacted by the recently implemented tariffs. As a result, Calfrac is evaluating 
alternatives and the availability of applicable tariffs exemptions for products and parts that are imported from the United 
States. 
As experienced over the last couple of years, activity in the Rockies region of the United States continues to be very 
challenging during the first quarter due to limited customer activity, resulting from the higher costs of operating in extreme 
cold weather. To address these seasonal challenges, the Company reduced its operating footprint to six active fracturing 
fleets to begin the first quarter. Financial results in the United States are expected to improve throughout the year as 
utilization is anticipated to increase from the first quarter. The outlook for natural gas prices has improved from recent 
years and consequently, the Company recommenced operations in the Appalachian basin in January with a project that is 
expected to continue into the third quarter. The Company is also exploring further opportunities to expand its operating 
scale in this region. 
The Company made further progress on its equipment modernization program in North America and exited the quarter 
with 66 Tier IV Dynamic Gas Blending (“DGB”) pumps operating in the field, which was the equivalent of four Tier IV DGB 
fleets. By the end of the first quarter of 2025, Calfrac expects to operate the equivalent of five Tier IV DGB fleets in North 
America with the completion of its 2024 capital program. Inclusive of the Company’s recent capital investments in next 
generation pumping technology, a significant portion of its North American crewed fleets were dual-fuel capable at the end 
of 2024. 
ARGENTINA
Argentina continued to demonstrate operational and financial strength by achieving revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth 
from 2023 of 19 percent and 32 percent, respectively. During the past year, Calfrac invested approximately $30.0 million of 
capital expenditures to expand its fracturing fleet capacity in the Vaca Muerta shale play and began operating another large 
fracturing fleet during the first quarter of 2025. As a result, activity and financial performance during the first quarter of 
2025 is expected to be very strong, building on the significant momentum generated in 2024.
CORPORATE
Calfrac remains committed to its strategies of maximizing net income and deploying excess free cash flows to reduce its 
long-term debt. The Company made progress on its long-term debt reduction objective since the middle of 2024 and is 
focused on achieving a long-term financing solution to replace its existing Second Lien Notes before the end of the year. 
Management remains committed to stringent cost management and prudent capital allocation to maximize long-term 
returns for its shareholders.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the first quarter of 2022, management committed to a plan to sell its Russian division, resulting in the associated 
assets and liabilities being classified as held for sale and presented as discontinued operations. 
In addition to monitoring and addressing, as applicable, the evolving laws and sanctions from the governments of Canada, 
the U.S., and other western nations, the Company’s efforts to divest of its Russian operations have been impacted by 
domestic laws and sanctions of the Russian Federation, including without limitation, that any sale or any other transfer or 
alienation of its Russian subsidiary must be approved by the President of the Russian Federation pursuant to applicable 
decrees and rules setting out the requirements for exits of foreign investors from Russia (which are updated on a periodic 
basis). Within this dynamic context, the Company remains committed to the sale of its Russian subsidiary and is seeking to 
complete this transaction as soon as possible while complying with all applicable laws and sanctions. 
In conjunction with the ongoing sale process and in light of the Canadian sanctions and restrictions that were issued in 
relation to the Russian oil and gas industry and the foreign investor exit rules of the Russian Federation, the Company has 
adjusted the Russian division’s current and long-term assets to reflect their revised expected recoverable amount as at 
December 31, 2024 (see note 4 of the annual consolidated financial statements). Management will continue to revisit the 
fair value of the net assets at each reporting period and upon the close of the transaction. 
It is management’s judgement, that based on the facts and circumstances, the Company continues to control and therefore 
consolidate the Russian subsidiary.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
Certain supplementary measures presented in this MD&A, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA percentage and Net 
Debt do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and, because IFRS have been incorporated as Canadian generally 
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), these supplementary measures are also non-GAAP measures. These measures have 
been described and presented to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the 
Company’s financial results, liquidity and ability to generate funds to finance its operations. These measures may not be 
comparable to similar measures presented by other entities, and are explained below.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss for the period less interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, foreign 
exchange losses (gains), non-cash stock-based compensation, and gains and losses that are extraordinary or non-recurring. 
Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it gives an indication of the results from the Company’s principal business activities 
prior to consideration of how its activities are financed and the impact of foreign exchange, taxation and depreciation and 
amortization charges. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was calculated as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA percentage is a non-GAAP financial ratio that is determined by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue for 
the corresponding period. 
Net Debt is defined as long-term debt less unamortized debt issuance costs plus lease obligations, less cash and cash 
equivalents from continuing operations. The calculation of net debt is disclosed in note 14 to the Company’s annual 
financial statements for the corresponding period.
OTHER NON-STANDARD FINANCIAL TERMS
MAINTENANCE AND EXPANSION CAPITAL
Maintenance capital refers to expenditures in respect of capital additions, replacements or improvements required to 
maintain ongoing business operations. Expansion capital refers to expenditures primarily for new items, upgrades and/or 
equipment that will expand the Company’s revenue and/or reduce its expenditures through operating efficiencies. The 
determination of what constitutes maintenance capital expenditures versus expansion capital involves judgement by 
management.

GREEK LITIGATION
As described in note 20 to the annual consolidated financial statements, the Company and one of its Greek subsidiaries are 
involved in a number of legal proceedings in Greece. Management regularly evaluates the likelihood of potential liabilities 
being incurred and the amounts of such liabilities after careful examination of available information and discussions with its 
legal advisors. Management is of the view that it is improbable there will be a material financial impact to the Company as a 
result of these claims. Consequently, no provision was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
This MD&A is based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 which 
were prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management is required to make assumptions, judgments and estimates in the 
application of IFRS. Calfrac’s material accounting policies are described in note 2 to the annual consolidated financial 
statements.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires that certain estimates and judgments be made 
concerning the reported amount of revenue and expenses and the carrying values of assets and liabilities. These estimates 
are based on historical experience and management’s judgment. The estimation of anticipated future events involves 
uncertainty and, consequently, the estimates used by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial 
statements may change as future events unfold, additional experience is acquired or the environment in which the 
Company operates changes. The accounting policies and practices that involve the use of estimates that have a significant 
impact on the Company’s financial results include the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, the fair value of 
financial instruments, income taxes, and stock-based compensation. 
Judgment is also used in the determination of cash-generating units (CGUs), impairment or reversal of impairment of non-
financial assets, the functional currency of each subsidiary, and the classification of assets held for sale and discontinued 
operations, including continued control over the Russian subsidiary.
LOSS ALLOWANCE PROVISION
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and grants credit based on a review of historical 
collection experience, current aging status, financial condition of the customer and anticipated industry conditions. In 
situations where the creditworthiness of a customer is uncertain, services are typically provided on receipt of cash in 
advance or services are declined. Customer payments are regularly monitored and a provision for doubtful accounts has 
been established based on the new impairment model under IFRS 9, which requires the recognition of impairment 
provisions based on expected and incurred credit losses rather than only incurred credit losses. The Company applies the 
simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime 
expected credit loss model to its trade accounts receivable. Lifetime expected credit losses are the result of all possible 
default events over the expected life of the financial instrument. Calfrac’s management believes that the loss allowance 
provision for accounts receivable, which was $1.3 million at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – $1.0 million), is 
adequate.
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report

DEPRECIATION
Depreciation of the Company’s property, plant and equipment incorporates estimates of useful lives and residual values. 
These estimates may change as more experience is obtained or as general market conditions change, thereby affecting the 
value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment. 
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are cash and cash equivalents, accounts 
receivable, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long-term debt.
FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The fair values of financial instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets, except long-term debt, approximate 
their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair value of the Second Lien Notes, as 
measured based on the closing market price at December 31, 2024 was $171.6 million (December 31, 2023 – $144.0 
million). The carrying value of the revolving term loan facility approximates its fair value as the interest rate is not 
significantly different from current interest rates for similar loans. 
CREDIT RISK
Substantial amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and natural gas industry and are 
subject to normal industry credit risks. The Company mitigates this risk through its credit policies and practices, including 
the use of credit limits and approvals, and by monitoring its customers’ financial condition. At December 31, 2024, the 
Company had a loss allowance provision for accounts receivable of $1.3 million (December 31, 2023 – $1.0 million).
Payment terms with customers vary by country and contract. Standard payment terms, however, are 30 days from invoice 
date. The Company’s aged trade and accrued accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 and 2023, excluding any impaired 
accounts, are as follows:

INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company is exposed to cash flow risk due to fluctuating interest payments required to service any floating-rate debt. 
The increase or decrease in annual interest expense for each 1 percentage point change in the interest rate on floating-rate 
debt at December 31, 2024 amounts to $1.5 million (December 31, 2023 – $1.0 million).
The Company’s effective interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 9.7 percent (December 31, 2022 – 9.3 
percent). 
LIQUIDITY RISK
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flows, existing or new credit facilities, new secured or 
unsecured debt, and new share equity. The Company monitors its liquidity to ensure it has sufficient funds to complete 
planned capital and other expenditures. The Company mitigates liquidity risk by maintaining adequate banking and credit 
facilities and monitoring its forecast and actual cash flows. The Company may also adjust its capital spending to maintain 
liquidity.
The expected timing of cash outflows relating to financial liabilities is outlined in the table below:

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk associated with foreign operations where assets, liabilities, revenue and 
costs are denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. These currencies include the U.S. dollar and Argentinean 
peso. The Company is also exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in its Canadian operations on purchases 
of products and property, plant and equipment from vendors in the United States. In addition, the Company’s Second Lien 
Notes and related interest expense are denominated in U.S. dollars. 
The amount of this debt and related interest expressed in Canadian dollars varies with fluctuations in the U.S. dollar to 
Canadian dollar exchange rate. The risk is mitigated, however, by the Company’s U.S. operations and related revenue 
streams. A change in the value of foreign currencies in the Company’s financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable, 
accounts payable and debt) would have had the following impact on net income:

IMPAIRMENT
Assessment of impairment is based on management’s judgment of whether there are internal and external factors that 
would indicate that an asset or CGU is impaired.
As described in note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reviews the carrying value of its property, 
plant and equipment at each reporting period for indicators of impairment. As well, the Company assesses at the end of 
each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset or 
CGU may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable 
amount of that CGU to determine if the reversal of impairment loss is supported.
The Company’s cash-generating units from continuing operations are determined to be at the country level, consisting of 
Canada, the United States, and Argentina.
As at December 31, 2024, the Company determined that for its Canada and Argentinean CGUs, there were no changes in 
the indicators of impairment or any new indicators of impairment since the last impairment assessment that was carried 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
22

out as at December 31, 2023. There are no events or changes in circumstances indicating that an estimate of the 
recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is required for the year ended December 31, 2024. 
For the United States CGU, the 2024 financial results were impeded by lower activity and pricing, due to a year-over-year 
decline in natural gas prices. The Company recognizes this is an indicator of impairment that warrants an assessment on the 
recoverable amount of its property, plant and equipment for the United States CGU as at December 31, 2024. Based on the 
impairment test that was conducted as at December 31, 2024, a comparison of the recoverable amount of the United 
States cash-generating unit with its carrying amount resulted in no impairment against property, plant and equipment (year 
ended December 31, 2023 – reversal of impairment of $41.6 million in the Canada CGU).
The impairment losses (reversal of impairment) by CGU are as follows:

(41,563) 
In addition, the Company carried out a comprehensive review of its property, plant and equipment and identified assets in 
the United States that were deemed to be obsolete, and therefore, no longer able to generate cash inflows. The net book 
value of these assets totaled $12.7 million were written off during the three months ended December 31, 2024.
The Company reviews the carrying value of its inventory on an ongoing basis for obsolescence and to verify that the 
carrying value exceeds the net realizable amount. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reviewed the 
carrying value of its inventories across all operating segments and determined that there was no requirement to write off 
obsolete inventory nor write inventory down to its net realizable amount (year ended December 31, 2023 – $nil). 
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 
financial statement amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Estimates of the Company’s 
future taxable income are considered in assessing the utilization of available tax losses. The Company’s business is complex 
and the calculation of income taxes involves many factors as well as the Company’s interpretation of relevant tax legislation 
and regulations.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The fair value of stock options and performance share units is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option 
pricing model, which includes underlying assumptions related to the risk-free interest rate, average expected option life, 
estimated forfeitures, estimated volatility of the Company’s shares and anticipated dividends. The vesting conditions 
associated with the performance stock options and performance share units are non-market and are assessed at each 
reporting period to determine if the targets are probable or not probable of being met. 
The fair value of the deferred share units is recognized based on the market value of the Company’s shares underlying these 
compensation programs.
FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY
Management applies judgment in determining the functional currency of its foreign subsidiaries. Judgment is made with 
regard to the currency that influences and determines sales prices, labour, material and other costs as well as financing and 
receipts from operating income.
CASH-GENERATING UNITS
The determination of CGUs is based on management’s judgment regarding shared equipment, mobility of equipment, 
geographical proximity and materiality.
RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain entities controlled by George S. Armoyan previously held US$16.8 million of the Company’s Second Lien Notes as at 
December 31, 2023. These holdings were sold during 2024. 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
23

The Company leases certain premises from a company controlled by Ronald P. Mathison. The rent charged for these 
premises during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.0 million (year ended December 31, 2023 – $1.0 million), as 
measured at the exchange amount, which is based on market rates at the time these lease arrangements were made.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company applied IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and 
Non-current Liabilities with Covenants for the year beginning on January 1, 2024. This amendment did not have a material 
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company adopted Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two model rules, which 
provide a template that jurisdictions can translate into domestic tax law and implement as part of an agreed common 
approach. Pillar Two legislation in Canada is substantively enacted. Other jurisdictions where the Company operates have 
either enacted legislation or are in the process of doing so. In terms of the potential implications for income tax accounting, 
the Company has applied the exception available under the amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes published by the 
International Accounting Standards Board in May 2023 and are not recognizing or disclosing information about deferred tax 
assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. The Company continues to assess its exposure to Pillar Two income 
taxes and does not expect the impact of Pillar Two provisions to be material to the Company. 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company is assessing the impact of the following amendment to the standards and interpretations applicable for future 
periods:
The IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will replace IAS 1 Presentation of 
Financial Statements, introducing new requirements that will help to achieve comparability of the financial performance of 
similar entities and provide more relevant information and transparency to users. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 
18 relate to:
•
the structure of the statement of profit or loss with defined subtotals;
•
requirement to determine the most useful structure summary for presenting expenses in the statement of profit or 
loss;
•
required disclosures in a single note within the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance 
measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements; and 
•
enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes 
in general.
Even though IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, its impacts on 
presentation and disclosure are expected to be pervasive, in particular those related to the statement of financial 
performance and providing management-defined performance measures within the financial statements. The new standard 
is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Retrospective application is required, and therefore, 
the comparative information for the financial year ending December 31, 2026 will be restated in accordance with IFRS 18. 
The Company is currently assessing the implications of applying this new standard on the consolidated financial statements. 
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL 
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Calfrac are responsible for establishing and 
maintaining the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR).
DC&P are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to 
the CEO and CFO by others, particularly in the period in which the annual filings are being prepared, and that information 
required to be disclosed in documents filed with securities regulatory authorities is recorded, processed, summarized and 
reported within the periods specified in securities legislation, and includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that 
such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as 
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
24

regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in 
accordance with IFRS.
In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 52-109 “Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and 
Interim Filings”, an evaluation of the effectiveness of DC&P and ICFR was carried out under the supervision of the CEO and 
CFO at December 31, 2024. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s DC&P and ICFR 
are effectively designed and operating as intended.
No change to the Company’s ICFR occurring during the most recent interim period materially affected, or is reasonably 
likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.

materially different from management estimates and assumptions; the Company’s access to capital and common share 
price given a significant number of common shares are controlled by two directors of the Company; possible dilution from 
outstanding stock-based compensation, additional equity or debt securities; and changes in tax rates or reassessment risk 
by tax authorities; (D) business operations risks, including but not limited to, fleet reinvestment risk, including the ability of 
the Company to finance the capital necessary for equipment upgrades to support its operational needs while meeting 
government and customer requirements and preferences; risks of delays and quality of equipment due to Company’s 
reliance on equipment manufacturers, suppliers and fabricators; seasonal volatility; constrained demand for the Company’s 
services due to merger and acquisition activity; a concentrated customer base; cybersecurity risks; difficulty retaining, 
replacing or adding personnel; failure to continuously improve equipment, proprietary fluid chemistries and other products 
and services; climate change; failure to maintain safety standards and records; improper access to confidential information;

KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a 
separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
How Our Audit Addressed the Key Audit Matter
Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment 
(PP&E) for the United States Cash Generating Unit (CGU)
Refer to note 2 – Summary of Material Accounting 
Policies and note 5 – Property, Plant and Equipment to 
the consolidated financial statements. 
As at December 31, 2024, the total net book value of 
PP&E amounted to $673.4 million, of which a significant 
portion related to the United States cash generating unit 
(CGU). The Company reviews the carrying value of its 
PP&E at each reporting period for indicators of 
impairment. If any such indicator exists, management 
estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to 
determine if an impairment loss is supported. An 
impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which 
the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable 
amount. The recoverable amount of the CGU is 
determined based on the higher value of fair value less 
costs of disposal (FVLCD) and value in use calculations. 
For the United States CGU, the 2024 financial results 
were impeded by lower activity and pricing, due, in part, 
to a year over year decline in natural gas prices. The 
Company recognizes this as an indicator of impairment 
that warrants an assessment of the recoverable amount 
of the United States CGU as at December 31, 2024. 
Based on the impairment test conducted, a comparison 
of the recoverable amount of the United States CGU with 
its carrying amount resulted in no impairment. 
The recoverable amount of the United States CGU is 
based on FVLCD determined using discounted cash flows 
(discounted cash flow model). Cash flow assumptions are 
based on a combination of historical and expected future 
results, using the following main significant assumptions: 
expected revenue and operating income growth and 
after-tax discount rates.  
We considered this a key audit matter due to the 
significant audit effort and subjectivity in performing 
procedures to test significant assumptions used by 
management in determining the recoverable amount, 
which involved judgement by management. We were 
also assisted by professionals with specialized skill and 
knowledge in the field of valuation. 
Our approach to addressing this matter included the 
following procedures, among others:
•
Tested 
how 
management 
determined 
the 
recoverable amount of the United States CGU, which 
included the following:
•
Assessed the appropriateness of the method 
used to determine the recoverable amount;
•
Tested underlying data used in the discounted 
cash flow model;
•
Evaluated the reasonableness of expected 
revenue and operating income growth rates 
assumptions used in the discounted cash flow 
model by:
▪
comparing 
expected 
revenue 
and 
operating income growth rates to the 
Board approved budget, the current and 
past performance of the United States 
CGU and available external industry data, 
and;
▪
assessing whether these assumptions were 
consistent with evidence obtained in other 
areas of the audit.
•
With the assistance of professionals with 
specialized skill and knowledge in the field of 
valuation, assessed the appropriateness of the 
discounted 
cash 
flow 
model, 
and 
the 
reasonableness of the after-tax discount rate 
used within the model.

OTHER INFORMATION
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s Discussion and 
Analysis and the information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, included in 
the Annual Report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form 
of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated 
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we 
are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE 
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in 
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to 
enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic 
alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 
Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be 
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment 
and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is 
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
•
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Company’s internal control.
•
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related 
disclosures made by management.
•
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the 
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant 
doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are 
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, 
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
30

to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue 
as a going concern.
•
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the 
disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation.
•
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 
the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial 
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of 
the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of 
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 
audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the 
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of 
such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Kory Wickenhauser.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 
(Amounts in text and tables are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share data and certain other exceptions as indicated) 
1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. (the “Company”) was formed through the amalgamation of Calfrac Well Services Ltd. (predecessor 
company was originally incorporated on June 28, 1999 and amalgamated with Denison Energy Inc. on March 24, 2004) and 
Dominion Land Projects Ltd. on January 1, 2011 under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Company was continued 
under the Canada Business Corporations Act on December 17, 2020. The Company’s principal place of business is at Suite 
500, 407 – 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 1E5. The Company provides specialized oilfield services from its 
continuing operations, including hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing, cementing and other well completion services to the oil 
and natural gas industries in the United States, Canada, and Argentina.
These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards). 
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issuance on March 12, 2025.
2.  SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The policies set out below were consistently applied to the periods presented. 
(a) Basis of Measurement
The consolidated financial statements were prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of 
certain financial assets and liabilities to fair value.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada, 
the United States, Russia and Argentina. All intercompany transactions, balances and resulting unrealized gains and losses 
are eliminated upon consolidation.
Subsidiaries are those entities which the Company controls by having the power to govern their financial and operating 
policies. The existence and effect of voting rights that are exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether 
the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated upon the Company obtaining control and are 
deconsolidated upon control ceasing.
(c) Changes in Accounting Standards and Disclosures
The Company applied IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and 
Non-current Liabilities with Covenants for the year beginning on January 1, 2024. This amendment did not have a material 
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company adopted Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two model rules, which 
provide a template that jurisdictions can translate into domestic tax law and implement as part of an agreed common 
approach. Pillar Two legislation in Canada is substantively enacted. Other jurisdictions where the Company operates have 
either enacted legislation or are in the process of doing so. In terms of the potential implications for income tax accounting, 
the Company has applied the exception available under the amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes published by the 
International Accounting Standards Board in May 2023 and are not recognizing or disclosing information about deferred tax 
assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. The Company continues to assess its exposure to Pillar Two income 
taxes and does not expect the impact of Pillar Two provisions to be material to the Company. 
(d) Change in Accounting Estimate
Effective December 31, 2024, the Company revised its salvage value estimate for certain of its fracturing equipment 
components to align with current operational experience. This was adopted as a change in accounting estimate on a 
prospective basis, which resulted in a one-time depreciation charge of $12,159, related to fully depreciated components, 
that was recorded in the statement of operations during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

(e) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires that certain estimates and judgments be made 
concerning the reported amount of revenue and expenses and the carrying values of assets and liabilities. These estimates 
are based on historical experience and management’s judgment. The estimation of anticipated future events involves 
uncertainty and, consequently, the estimates used by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial 
statements may change as future events unfold, additional experience is acquired or the environment in which the 
Company operates changes. The accounting policies and practices that involve the use of estimates that have a significant 
impact on the Company’s financial results include the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, the fair value of 
financial instruments, income taxes, and stock-based compensation. 
Judgment is also used in the determination of cash-generating units (CGUs), impairment or reversal of impairment of non-
financial assets, the functional currency of each subsidiary, and the classification of assets held for sale and discontinued 
operations, including continued control over the Russian subsidiary.
i)
Expected Credit Loss
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and grants credit based on a review of historical 
collection experience, current aging status, the customer’s financial condition and anticipated industry conditions. 
Customer payments are regularly monitored and a provision for expected credit loss is established based on expected and 
incurred losses and overall industry conditions. See note 12 for further information.
ii)
Depreciation
Depreciation of the Company’s property and equipment incorporates estimates of useful lives and residual values. These 
estimates may change as more experience is obtained or as general market conditions change, thereby affecting the value 
of the Company’s property and equipment.
iii)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets are comprised of cash and cash 
equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, bank overdrafts, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank loan, and long-
term debt.
The fair values of these financial instruments, except long-term debt, approximate their carrying amounts due to their 
short-term maturity. The fair value of the Second Lien Notes is based on the closing market price at the reporting period’s 
end-date, as described in note 6. The fair values of the remaining long-term debt approximate their carrying values.
iv)
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 
financial statement amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Estimates of the Company’s 
future taxable income were considered in assessing the utilization of available tax losses. The Company’s business is 
complex and the calculation of income taxes involves many complex factors as well as the Company’s interpretation of 
relevant tax legislation and regulations. 
See note 9 for further information on income taxes.
v)
Share-Based Payments
The fair value of stock options, performance share units and warrants is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes 
option pricing model, which includes underlying assumptions related to the risk-free interest rate, average expected option 
or unit life, estimated forfeitures, estimated volatility of the Company’s shares and anticipated dividends. The vesting 
conditions associated with the performance stock options and performance share units are non-market and are assessed at 
each reporting period to determine if the targets are probable or not probable of being met. 
The fair value of the deferred share units is recognized based on the market value of the Company’s shares underlying these 
compensation programs.
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
39

See note 8 for further information on share-based payments.
vi)
Functional Currency
Management applies judgment in determining the functional currency of its foreign subsidiaries. Judgment is made 
regarding the currency that influences and determines sales prices, labour, material and other costs as well as financing and 
receipts from operating income. 
vii) Cash-Generating Units
The determination of CGUs is based on management’s judgment regarding shared equipment, mobility of equipment, 
geographical proximity, and materiality.
viii) Impairment or Reversal of Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of cash-generating units is the higher of the 
CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use (defined as the present value of the future cash flows to be derived 
from an asset). These calculations require the use of judgment applied by management regarding expected revenue and 
operating income growth, expected future results, and after-tax discount rates. See note 5 for further information on 
impairment of property, plant and equipment.
Assessment of reversal of impairment is based on management’s judgment of whether there are internal and external 
factors that would indicate that the conditions for reversal of impairment of an asset or CGU are present. 
Management applies significant judgment in assessing whether indicators of impairment or impairment reversal exist that 
would necessitate either impairment testing or impairment reversal calculations. Internal and external factors such as (i) a 
significant change in the market capitalization of the Company’s share price; (ii) changes in conditions of equipment, (iii) 
changes in oil and gas prices in the market, (iv) changes in forecasted earnings, and (v) changes in interest rates or other 
market rates of return, are evaluated by management in determining whether there are any indicators of impairment or 
impairment reversal.
(f)
Foreign Currency Translation
i)
Functional and Presentation Currency
Each of the Company’s subsidiaries is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the 
entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which 
is the Company’s presentation currency.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries that have a different functional currency are translated into Canadian dollars 
whereby assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date, revenue and expenses are 
translated at average monthly exchange rates (as this is considered a reasonable approximation of actual rates), and gains 
and losses in translation are recognized in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.
The following foreign entities have a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar:
Entity
Functional Currency
United States
U.S. dollar
Argentina
U.S. dollar
In the event the Company disposed of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or lost control, joint control, or significant 
influence over a foreign operation, the related foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income 
would be recognized in profit or loss. If the Company disposed of part of an interest in a foreign operation which remained 
a subsidiary, a proportionate amount of the related foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive 
income would be reallocated between controlling and non-controlling interests.
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
40

ii)
Transactions and Balances 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the 
transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from 
the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an 
entity’s functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
(g) Financial Instruments
The impairment model under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on 
expected and incurred credit losses rather than only incurred credit losses. The Company applies the simplified approach to 
providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected credit loss model 
to its trade accounts receivable. Lifetime expected credit losses are the result of all possible default events over the 
expected life of the financial instrument. 
i)
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
•
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or 
loss), and
•
those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of 
the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other 
comprehensive income. 
The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
The Company does not have any hedging arrangements.
ii)
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly 
attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit 
or loss are expensed in profit or loss. 
Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the 
cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its 
financial assets:
•
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent 
solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial 
assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. 
•
Fair value through other comprehensive income: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and 
for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are 
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken 
through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue 
and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. Interest income from these financial 
assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are 
presented in other gains or losses and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in profit or loss.
•
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or fair value through other 
comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a financial asset that is 
subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss and presented net within 
other gains or losses in the period in which it arises.
See note 12 for further information on financial instruments.
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
41

iii)
Derecognition
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, 
or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another 
entity. When a financial asset classified as amortized cost is derecognized, any gain or loss arising on derecognition is 
recognized directly in profit or loss and is presented together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are 
presented as a separate line item in profit or loss. When a financial asset classified as fair value through other 
comprehensive income is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is 
reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in other gains and losses.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. When an 
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an 
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original 
ability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized directly in 
profit or loss. 
When the Company uses equity instruments to extinguish a financial liability, the equity instruments are considered as 
consideration paid. The equity instruments are measured at the fair value, unless fair value is not reliably determinable, in 
which case the equity instruments issued are measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished. If the consideration 
paid exceeds the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished a gain is recognized in profit or loss.
iv)
Derivatives that do not Qualify for Hedge Accounting
Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. Where derivatives do not 
meet the hedge accounting criteria, they are classified as ‘held for trading’ for accounting purposes and are accounted for 
at fair value through profit or loss.
The full fair value of hedging derivatives is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the 
hedged item is more than 12 months. It is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the 
hedged item is less than 12 months. 
See note 12 for further information about the derivatives used by the Company.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and short-term investments with original maturities of three months 
or less.
(i)
Inventory
Inventory consists of chemicals, sand and proppant, coiled tubing, cement, nitrogen and carbon dioxide used to stimulate 
oil and natural gas wells, as well as spare parts. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out 
basis, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less applicable selling expenses. If carrying 
value exceeds net realizable amount, a write-down is recognized. The write-down may be reversed in a subsequent period 
if the circumstances which caused it no longer exist.
(j)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if 
any. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included 
in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future 
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying 
amount of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated 
statements of operations during the period in which they are incurred.
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
42

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives using the straight-line method 
over the following periods:
Field equipment 
5 – 30 years
Buildings 
20 years
Shop, office and other equipment 
5 years
Computers and computer software 
3 years
Leasehold improvements 
Term of the lease
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use. Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that 
the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized. Depreciation does not cease when the 
asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. Assets under construction are not 
depreciated until they are available for use.
The Company allocates the amount initially recognized in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment to its 
significant components and depreciates each component separately. Residual values, method of amortization and useful 
lives are reviewed annually and adjusted, if appropriate.
Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the 
carrying amount of the assets and are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
(k) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of 
those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. Qualifying assets are defined as 
assets which take a substantial period to construct (generally greater than one year). All other borrowing costs are 
recognized as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they are incurred. The 
Company does not currently have any qualifying assets. 
(l)
Leases
Under IFRS 16 Leases, leases are recognized as a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which 
the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability (principal) and 
interest. The interest is charged to the statement of operations over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line 
basis over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
The Company recognizes a ROU asset at cost consisting of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus 
any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, the initial 
estimate of any restoration costs and any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. The provision for any restoration costs is 
recognized as a separate liability as set out in IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. 
The Company recognizes a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments during the lease term that are not 
yet paid. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or 
the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are 
also included in the measurement of the lease liability. The Company initially estimates and recognizes amounts expected 
to be payable under residual value guarantees as part of the lease liability. Typically, the expected residual value at the 
commencement of the lease is equal to or higher than the guaranteed amount, and the Company does not expect to pay 
anything under the guarantees.
Payments associated with variable lease payments, short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as an 
expense in the statement of operations. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Low value 
assets comprise I.T. equipment and small items of office equipment.
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
43

(m) Impairment or Reversal of Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Long-lived assets that are not amortized are subject to an annual 
impairment test. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped in CGUs, the lowest level with 
separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets. The recoverable 
amount is the higher of the CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use (defined as the present value of the 
future cash flows to be derived from an asset). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the CGU’s 
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss 
recognized in prior periods for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the 
Company estimates the recoverable amount of that asset to determine if the reversal of impairment loss is supported. 
(n) Income Taxes
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations 
except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized 
directly in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
In general, deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if 
they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax 
rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when 
the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the 
assets can be recovered.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates except, in 
the case of subsidiaries, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is 
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the 
same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities when there is an intention to settle 
the balances on a net basis. 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.
For the purposes of calculating income taxes during interim periods, the Company utilizes estimated annualized income tax 
rates. Current income tax expense is only recognized when taxable income is such that current income tax becomes 
payable. 
(o) Revenue Recognition
Under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue for services rendered when the 
performance obligations have been completed, as control of the services transfer to the customer, when the services 
performed have been accepted by the customer, and collectability is reasonably assured. The consideration for services 
rendered is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and allocated based on their standalone selling prices. 
The standalone selling prices are determined based on the agreed upon list prices at which the Company sells its services in 
separate transactions. Payment terms with customers vary by country and contract. Standard payment terms are 30 days 
from invoice date.
Revenue for the sale of product is recognized when control or ownership of the product is transferred to the customer and 
collectability is reasonably assured. 
Revenue is measured net of returns, trade discounts and volume discounts.
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
44

The Company does not expect to have any revenue contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods 
or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not 
adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
See note 16 for further information on revenue.
(p) Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company recognizes compensation cost for the fair value of stock options and performance share units granted. Under 
this method, the Company records the fair value based on the number of options or units expected to vest over their 
vesting period as a charge to compensation expense and a credit to contributed surplus. The fair value of each tranche 
within an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date. The fair value of each tranche 
within an award is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed on an ongoing basis, with any impact being recognized immediately.
The Company recognizes compensation cost for the fair value of deferred share units granted to its outside directors. The 
fair value of the deferred share units is recognized based on the market value of the Company’s shares underlying these 
compensation programs. 
(q) Business Combinations
The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the 
acquisition is the fair value of the assets transferred and the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and 
the equity interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability 
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities 
assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company 
recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the 
non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. 
Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-
date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is 
recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held 
interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly 
in the statement of operations as a gain on acquisition.
(r)
Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale 
transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of 
their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets that are carried at fair value, which are specifically 
exempt from this requirement.
An impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain 
is recognized for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative 
impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized by the date of the sale of the non-current 
asset is recognized at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses 
attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognized.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented 
separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale 
are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that 
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
45

dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The 
results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss.
(s)
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Applied
The Company is assessing the impact of the following amendment to the standards and interpretations applicable for future 
periods:
The IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will replace IAS 1 Presentation of 
Financial Statements, introducing new requirements that will help to achieve comparability of the financial performance of 
similar entities and provide more relevant information and transparency to users. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 
18 relate to:
•
the structure of the statement of profit or loss with defined subtotals;
•
requirement to determine the most useful structure summary for presenting expenses in the statement of profit or 
loss;
•
required disclosures in a single note within the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance 
measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements; and 
•
enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes 
in general.
Even though IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, its impacts on 
presentation and disclosure are expected to be pervasive, in particular those related to the statement of financial 
performance and providing management-defined performance measures within the financial statements. The new standard 
is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Retrospective application is required, and therefore, 
the comparative information for the financial year ending December 31, 2026 will be restated in accordance with IFRS 18. 
The Company is currently assessing the implications of applying this new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the cost of inventories recognized as an expense and included in cost of sales was 
approximately $625,000 (year ended December 31, 2023 – $694,000).
The Company reviews the carrying value of its inventory on an ongoing basis for obsolescence and to verify that the 
carrying value exceeds the net realizable amount. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reviewed the 
carrying value of its inventories across all operating segments and determined there was no requirement to write off 
obsolete inventory nor write inventory down to its net realizable amount (year ended December 31, 2023 – $nil). 
4.  ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
During the first quarter of 2022, management committed to a plan to sell its Russian division. The associated assets and 
liabilities were consequently presented as held for sale in the Company’s financial statements, effective March 31, 2022, in 
accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
In addition to monitoring and addressing, as applicable, the evolving laws and sanctions from the governments of Canada, 
the U.S., and other western nations, the Company’s efforts to divest of its Russian operations have been impacted by 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report

domestic laws and sanctions of the Russian Federation, including without limitation, that any sale or any other transfer or 
alienation of its Russian subsidiary must be approved by the President of the Russian Federation pursuant to applicable 
decrees and rules setting out the requirements for exits of foreign investors from Russia (which are updated on a periodic 
basis). Within this dynamic context, the Company remains committed to the sale of its Russian subsidiary and is seeking to 
complete this transaction as soon as possible while complying with all applicable laws and sanctions.
In conjunction with the ongoing sale process and in light of the Canadian sanctions and restrictions that were issued in 
relation to the Russian oil and gas industry and the foreign investor exit rules of the Russian Federation, the Company has 
adjusted the Russian division’s current and long-term assets to reflect their revised expected recoverable amount as at 
December 31, 2024. Management will continue to revisit the fair value of the net assets at each reporting period and upon 
the close of the transaction.
It is management’s judgement, that based on the facts and circumstances, the Company continues to control and therefore 
consolidate the Russian subsidiary.

Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. The 
Company reviews the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment at each reporting period for indicators of 
impairment. As well, the Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an 
impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) may no longer exist or may have 
decreased. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of that CGU to determine if the 
reversal of impairment loss is supported.
The Company’s CGUs are determined to be at the country level, consisting of Canada, the United States, and Argentina.
As at December 31, 2024, the Company determined that for its Canada and Argentinean CGUs, there were no changes in 
the indicators of impairment or any new indicators of impairment since the last impairment assessment that was carried 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
49

out as at December 31, 2023. There are no events or changes in circumstances indicating that an estimate of the 
recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is required for the year ended December 31, 2024. 
For the United States CGU, the 2024 financial results were impeded by lower activity and pricing, due, in part, to a year-
over-year decline in natural gas prices. The Company recognizes this is an indicator of impairment that warrants an 
assessment on the recoverable amount of the United States CGU as at December 31, 2024. 
The recoverable amount of the United States CGU is based on fair value less costs of disposal determined using discounted 
cash flows. Cash flow assumptions are based on a combination of historical and expected future results, using the following 
main significant assumptions: 
•
Expected revenue growth
•
Expected operating income growth
•
After-tax discount rate
Revenue and operating income growth rates are based on a combination of commodity price assumptions, historical results 
and forecasted activity levels, which incorporates pricing, utilization and cost improvements over the forecast period. The 
cumulative annual growth rates for revenue and operating income over the forecast period from 2025 to 2029 ranged from 
8.9 percent to 19.9 percent.
The cash flows are prepared on a five-year basis, using a relevant weighted average cost of capital of 16.0 percent based on 
the nature of underlying assets, adjusted for risk factors specific to the United States CGU. Cash flows beyond that five-year 
period are extrapolated using a steady 2.0 percent growth rate.
Based on the impairment test that was conducted as at December 31, 2024, a comparison of the recoverable amount of the 
United States cash-generating unit with its carrying amount resulted in no impairment against property, plant and 
equipment (year ended December 31, 2023 – reversal of impairment of $41,563 in the Canada CGU).
A sensitivity analysis assuming a 1% change in the discount rate or 10% change in expected future cash flows of the United 
States CGU would have no impact on the impairment on the December 31, 2024 impairment test.
Assumptions that are valid at the time of preparing the impairment test may change significantly when new information 
becomes available. The Company will continue to monitor and update its assumptions and estimates with respect to 
property, plant and equipment impairment on an ongoing basis.
The impairment losses (reversal of impairment) by CGU are as follows:

In addition, the Company carried out a comprehensive review of its property, plant and equipment and identified assets in 
the United States that were deemed to be obsolete, and therefore, no longer able to generate cash inflows. The net book 
value of these assets totaled $12,690 and were written off during the year ended December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023

The carrying value of the revolving term loan facility approximates its fair value as the interest rate is not significantly 
different from current interest rates for similar loans. The fair value of the Second Lien Notes (as defined below), as 
measured based on the quoted market price at December 31, 2024 was $171,561 (December 31, 2023 – $143,963). 
Debt issuance costs related to the Company’s long-term debt are amortized over their respective term.
Interest on long-term debt (including the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount) for the year ended 
December 31, 2024 was $33,472 (year ended December 31, 2023 – $32,073). 
(a) Revolving Credit Facility
On June 25, 2024, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility agreement in anticipation of the 
benchmark rate reforms that occurred on June 28, 2024. The Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) ceased publication on 
June 28, 2024 and was replaced by the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA). In addition, the amendments 
included a change to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA definition for financial covenant calculation purposes. The revised 
definition of Bank EBITDA restricts Adjusted EBITDA derived from its Argentina operations to a maximum of 25 percent of 
total Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. The amendments also included the additional requirement that the 
Company maintain a minimum of $750,000 of net tangible assets in North America or, as previously applied, have 75 
percent of its net tangible assets from continuing operations located in North America. 
The credit agreement can be extended by one or more years at the Company’s request and lenders’ acceptance. The 
Company may also prepay principal without penalty. The interest rates are based on the parameters of certain bank 
covenants. For prime-based loans and U.S. base-rate loans, the rate ranges from prime or U.S. base rate plus 1.25 percent 
to prime plus 3.00 percent. For SOFR-based loans and CORRA-based loans, the margin thereon ranges from 2.25 percent to 
4.00 percent above the respective base rates. 
At December 31, 2024, the Company reclassified the draw on its revolving credit facilities from long-term debt to current 
liabilities to reflect the six-month springing maturity provision under its credit facility agreement. Subsequent to year end, 
an amendment to the revolving credit facility agreement was executed with the Company's lending syndicate to shorten the 
springing maturity date to January 15, 2026 from September 15, 2025, which is two months prior to the maturity date of 
the Second Lien Notes.  
The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants associated with its credit facilities at December 31, 2024. See 
note 14 for further details on the covenants in respect of the Company’s long-term debt.
(b) Second Lien Notes
The Company issued US$120,000 of new 10.875% second lien secured notes (“Second Lien Notes”) due March 15, 2026. 
The Second Lien Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal 
amount) at any time on or after March 15, 2024 at 100.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including 
the redemption date.
The following table sets out an analysis of long-term debt and the movements in long-term debt:

have not been included in the determination of weighted average number of common shares outstanding as they are 
contingently issuable and the multi-year cumulative EBITDA target is currently not expected to be met. 
For the comparative period, the convertible 1.5 Lien Notes are dilutive at the level of profit from continuing operations and 
in accordance with IAS 33 Earnings per Share, have been treated as dilutive for the purpose of diluted EPS.

In 2023, the Company granted performance stock options to certain eligible employees. Subject to the performance vesting 
condition described below, the options will vest on April 1, 2026 and expire five years after the grant date. The performance 
vesting condition requires achieving a three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA target for 2023 to 2025 as set by the Board of 
Directors. If this target is not met, vesting of the options (or a portion thereof) will be at the discretion of the Board of 
Directors. At December 31, 2024, the Company reversed all of its performance stock option expense as the multi-year 
cumulative EBITDA target is not expected to be met.
Previously granted stock options are unaffected and vest equally over three years and expire five years from the date of 
grant.

The exercise price of outstanding options ranges from $3.41 to $10.00 with a weighted average remaining life of 2.91 years. 
When stock options are exercised, the proceeds together with the compensation expense previously recorded in 
contributed surplus, are added to capital stock.
Expected volatility is estimated by considering historical average share price volatility.

The Company grants deferred share units (DSUs) to its outside directors. Each DSU represents the right to receive a gross 
payment equal to the fair market value at the date of redemption, which date will be determined by the holder of the DSUs, 
subject to certain conditions. The fair market value is defined as the weighted average trading price of a common share of 
the Company on the Toronto Stock Exchange during the last five trading days prior to the date of redemption. The DSUs 
vest on or about the first anniversary of the date of grant and are settled in cash. The DSUs expire at a date determined by 
the Board of Directors, which shall not be later than three years following the end of the year in which the grant occurred. 
The fair value of the DSUs is recognized equally over the vesting period, based on the quoted market price of the 
Company’s shares. At December 31, 2024, the liability pertaining to deferred share units was $1,410 (December 31, 2023 – 
$1,475). 
Changes in the Company’s obligations under the DSU grants, which arise from fluctuations in the market value of the 
Company’s shares, are recorded as the share value changes.
In 2023, performance share units (PSUs) were granted to certain eligible employees. The PSUs vest on April 1, 2026, subject 
to both market and non-market conditions: (i) satisfaction of the same Adjusted EBITDA performance condition or Board of 
Directors discretion as the stock options; and (ii) a proration factor based on the fair market value of the common shares on 
April 1, 2026. The PSUs shall be settled in common shares issued from treasury within 30 days of the vesting date, and in 
any event prior to the expiry date of the PSUs of December 15, 2026.
At December 31, 2024, the Company reversed all of its PSU expense as the multi-year cumulative EBITDA target is not 
expected to be met.

12.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets are comprised of cash and cash 
equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long-term debt.
(a) Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The fair values of financial instruments included in the consolidated balance sheets, except long-term debt, approximate 
their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair value and carrying value of the Second 
Lien Notes, as measured based on the closing market price at December 31, 2024 was $171,561 and $172,668, respectively 
(December 31, 2023 – $143,963 and $158,712). 
The fair values of the remaining long-term debt approximate their carrying values, as described in note 6.
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
57

(b) Credit Risk
Substantial amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and natural gas industry and are 
subject to normal industry credit risks. The Company mitigates this risk through its credit policies and practices including the 
use of credit limits and approvals, and by monitoring the financial condition of its customers. At December 31, 2024, the 
Company had a loss allowance provision for accounts receivable of $1,311 (December 31, 2023 – $999).
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments requires an entity to estimate its expected credit loss for all trade accounts receivable even 
when they are not past due based on the expectation that certain receivables will be uncollectible. Based on the Company’s 
assessment, a loan loss allowance of $293 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024, using the lifetime 
expected credit loss model (year ended December 31, 2023 – $659). The expected credit loss rates for each operating 
segment are based on actual credit losses experienced in the past. 
The loss allowance provision for trade accounts receivable as at December 31, 2024 reconciles to the opening loss 
allowance provision as follows:

(c) Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to cash flow risk due to fluctuating interest payments required to service any floating-rate debt. 
The increase or decrease in annual interest expense for each 1 percentage point change in interest rates on floating-rate 
debt at December 31, 2024 amounts to $1,500 (December 31, 2023 – $950).
The Company’s effective interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 9.7 percent (year ended December 31, 
2023 – 9.3 percent). 
(d) Liquidity Risk
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flows, existing or new credit facilities, new secured or 
unsecured debt, and new share equity. The Company monitors its liquidity to ensure it has sufficient funds to complete 
planned capital and other expenditures. The Company mitigates liquidity risk by maintaining adequate banking and credit 
facilities and monitoring its forecast and actual cash flows. The Company may also adjust its capital spending to maintain 
liquidity. See note 14 for further details on the Company’s capital structure.

(e) Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk associated with foreign operations where assets, liabilities, revenue and 
costs are denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. These currencies include the U.S. dollar and Argentinean 
peso. The Company is also exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in its Canadian operations on purchases 
of products and property, plant and equipment from vendors in the United States. In addition, the Company’s Second Lien 
Notes and related interest expense are denominated in U.S. dollars. 
The amount of this debt and related interest expressed in Canadian dollars varies with fluctuations in the US$/Cdn$ 
exchange rate. The risk is mitigated, however, by the Company’s U.S. operations and related revenue streams. A change in 
the value of foreign currencies in the Company’s financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and 
debt) would have had the following impact on net income:
At December 31, 2024

The Company reviews its net U.S. dollar foreign exchange exposures on a quarterly basis across all operating segments, and 
as a result, the Company may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to purchase U.S. dollars, subject to Board 
approval. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and are accounted for as held for trading, with gains and 
losses recognized in profit or loss.
The following amounts were recognized in the statement of operations:

There were no derivative financial instruments recorded in the balance sheet as at December 31, 2024 as the foreign 
currency contracts were all settled prior to the end of the reporting period. 
(f)
Country Risk
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has added a level of risk and uncertainty and additional restrictions 
around the operations of the Company’s Russian subsidiary. As a result of these evolving circumstances, the risks, 
restrictions, and uncertainties surrounding, among other things, banking, the Company’s ownership and control over its 
Russian subsidiary, the physical security of property, plant and equipment in Russia, the regulatory approvals to complete a 
sale transaction and overall business and operational risks are being monitored and addressed as the situation evolves. The 
impact of these risks will be reflected in the financial statements as required.
The situation in Russia remains dynamic and additional sanctions or restrictions may be issued against or by Russia as the 
conflict evolves. Additional sanctions or restrictions could have a material impact on the Company’s assets, business, 
financial condition and cash flows in Russia and the Company has determined that it will sell its Russian operations as noted 
in note 4.
(g) Cash Risk
The Company faces certain restrictions on the amount and timing of cash that can be repatriated out of Argentina. These 
rules have moderated significantly since the fourth quarter of 2023 and have allowed for the repayment of new 
intercompany liabilities on an accelerated timeline. As the Argentinean economy and operations continue to improve, the 
Company will look to repatriate excess funds generated in Argentina, to the extent allowed, in order to reduce its debt 
position.

The Company’s capital structure is comprised of shareholders’ equity and debt. The Company’s objectives in managing 
capital are (i) to maintain flexibility so as to preserve its access to capital markets and its ability to meet its financial 
obligations, and (ii) to finance growth, including potential acquisitions.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changing market conditions and new 
opportunities, while remaining cognizant of the cyclical nature of the oilfield services sector. To maintain or adjust its capital 
structure, the Company may revise its capital spending, issue new shares or new debt or repay existing debt.

ranging from large multi-national publicly traded companies to small private companies. Notwithstanding the Company’s 
broad customer base, Calfrac had five significant customers that collectively accounted for approximately 52 percent of the 
Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 (year ended December 31, 2023 – five significant customers for 
approximately 47 percent) and, of such customers, one customer accounted for approximately 16 percent of the Company’s 
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 (year ended December 31, 2023 – 11 percent).

20.  CONTINGENCIES
GREEK LITIGATION
As a result of the acquisition and amalgamation with Denison in 2004, the Company assumed certain legal obligations 
relating to Denison’s Greek operations.
In 1998, North Aegean Petroleum Company E.P.E. (“NAPC”), a Greek subsidiary of a consortium in which Denison 
participated (and which is now a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company), terminated employees in Greece as a result 
of the cessation of its oil and natural gas operations in that country. Several groups of former employees filed claims against 
NAPC and the consortium alleging that their termination was invalid and that their severance pay was improperly 
determined.
In 1999, the largest group of plaintiffs received a ruling from the Athens Court of First Instance that their termination was 
invalid and that salaries in arrears amounting to approximately $10,220 (6,846 euros) plus interest were due to the former 
employees. This decision was appealed to the Athens Court of Appeal, which allowed the appeal in 2001 and annulled the 
above-mentioned decision of the Athens Court of First Instance. Said group of former employees filed an appeal with the 
Supreme Court of Greece, which was heard on May 29, 2007. The Supreme Court of Greece allowed the appeal and sent 
the matter back to the Athens Court of Appeal for the consideration of the quantum of awardable salaries in arrears. On 
June 3, 2008, the Athens Court of Appeal rejected NAPC’s appeal and reinstated the award of the Athens Court of First 
Instance, which decision was further appealed to the Supreme Court of Greece. The matter was heard on April 20, 2010 and 
a decision rejecting such appeal was rendered in June 2010. As a result of Denison’s participation in the consortium that 
was named in the lawsuit, the Company was served with three separate payment orders, one on March 24, 2015 and two 
others on December 29, 2015. The Company was also served with an enforcement order on November 23, 2015.  
Provisional orders granting a temporary suspension of any enforcement proceedings have been granted in respect of all of 
these orders on the basis they were improperly issued and are barred from a statute of limitations perspective. Hearings in 
respect of each of the orders have been held, and in each case, decisions were rendered accepting the Company’s position. 
All of these decisions were appealed, but the favorable judgments have all been confirmed in the Company’s favor. The 
plaintiffs have filed petitions for cassation (a form of appeal in Greece) against three of the appeal judgments, and the 
deadline for the plaintiffs to file a petition for cassation in respect of the suspension of the November 23, 2015 enforcement 
order has now lapsed. The Company has yet to be served with a hearing date for any of the three pending cassation 
petitions.
NAPC is also the subject of a claim for approximately $3,286 (2,201 euros) plus associated penalties and interest from the 
Greek social security agency for social security obligations associated with the salaries in arrears that are the subject of the 
above-mentioned decision. That claim was upheld by judgment No. 99/2021 of the Administrative Court of Appeal in 
Komotini and a petition for cassation has been filed by NAPC partially challenging the aforementioned judgment and its 
quantum. 
Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ▪ 2024 Annual Report
64

The maximum aggregate interest and penalties payable under the claims noted above, as well as two other immaterial 
claims against NAPC totaling $207 (139 euros), amounted to $32,919 (22,052 euros) as at December 31, 2024.
Management is of the view that it is improbable there will be a material financial impact to the Company as a result of 
these claims. Consequently, no provision has been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.
21.  SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company’s activities in its continuing operations are conducted in two geographical segments: North America and 
Argentina. All activities are related to hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing, cementing and other well completion services for 
the oil and natural gas industry.
The business segments presented reflect the Company’s management structure and the way its management reviews 
business performance. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments primarily based on Adjusted

Subsequent to year end, an amendment to the revolving credit facility agreement was executed with the Company's 
lending syndicate to shorten the springing maturity date to January 15, 2026 from September 15, 2025, which is two 
months prior to the maturity of the Second Lien Notes.  
On March 4, 2025, the Trump administration in the United States announced and implemented new tariffs on the imports 
of goods from Canada into the United States. Canada responded with retaliatory tariffs against goods imported into Canada 
from the United States, including certain items that are integral to fracturing operations. Subsequent to the implementation 
of these tariffs, the U.S provided certain exemptions on goods that meet the criteria for the United States-Mexico-Canada 
Agreement (“USMCA”) preferential tariff rate. The impact of the tariffs on completions activity in both the United States 
and Canada is uncertain at this time, however, the Company is evaluating alternatives and applicable tariff exemptions for 
products and parts that are imported from the United States to support its Canadian operations. The Company will continue 
to monitor the dynamic situation and seek to implement mitigation measures to limit the impact of the tariffs on its 
operations as the circumstances evolve.
