(2) Adjusted net earnings (loss) from operations is a non-GAAP measure that the Company utilizes to evaluate its performance, as it demonstrates the Company's ability to generate after-tax operating earnings from its core business areas. The derivation of this measure is discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”). (3) Adjusted funds flow (previously referred to as funds flow from operations) is a non-GAAP measure that the Company considers key as it demonstrates the Company’s ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital reinvestment and to repay debt. The derivation of this measure is discussed in the MD&A. (4) Net capital expenditures is a non-GAAP measure that the Company considers key as it provides an understanding of the Company’s capital spending activities in comparison to the Company’s annual capital budget. The derivation to this measure is discussed in the MD&A. (5) Includes the current portion of long-term debt. (6) A barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) is derived by converting six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil (6 Mcf:1 bbl). This conversion may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation, since the 6 Mcf:1 bbl ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In comparing the value ratio using current crude oil prices relative to natural gas prices, the 6 Mcf:1 bbl conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.

Defined Growth. Independent. Letter to our Shareholders In 2018, Canadian Natural demonstrated the strength of our diverse, balanced and vast asset base, and our ability to create value for our shareholders throughout the commodity price cycle. Canadian Natural's continued focus on effective and efficient operations, ability to exercise capital flexibility within our four pillars of capital allocation and our combination of long life low decline and low capital exposure assets resulted in annual adjusted funds flow of over $9.0 billion. 2018 was a strong year operationally as the Company was able to react quickly and strategically to changing market conditions, resulting in record annual production of approximately 1,079,000 BOE/d, delivering 12% production growth and 14% production per share growth over 2017 levels. Returns to shareholders were significant in 2018 totaling $2.8 billion, which included an increase in the Company’s dividend for the 18th consecutive year by 22% from 2017 levels and over $1.2 billion in share purchases. Throughout 2018, Canadian Natural demonstrated its commitment to balance sheet strength through a reduction in absolute long-term debt by approximately $1.8 billion, resulting in an upgrade to our already investment grade credit ratings. The Company’s industry leading Oil Sands Mining and the Company’s Primrose pad additions are also on budget and Upgrading area continued to deliver strong results in ahead of schedule, with the first twelve months of production 2018, driving high reliability of operations and capturing targeted to be 26,000 bbl/d. The Company continues to synergies which significantly lowered the cost structure. advance technology to enhance performance and improve As a result, the Company’s combined Oil Sands Mining steam-to-oil ratios with the installation of vacuum insulated and Upgrading assets achieved record low annual cash tubing (“VIT”) on step-out wells at Kirby South. The wells production costs of $21.75/bbl (US$16.78/bbl) of synthetic with VIT installed have improved operations as expected, crude oil (“SCO”). The year 2018 represented the first full lowering steam use by approximately 30%, which if applied to year of production following the successful completion of additional wells will add value for shareholders. the Horizon Phase 3 expansion in late 2017, which increased productive capacity to 250,000 bbl/d of SCO at the Horizon site. At the Company’s 70% owned and operated Athabasca Oil Sands Project (“AOSP”), teams achieved an impressive milestone of a cumulative lifetime production to date of 1 billion barrels on July 18, 2018, supported by net annual production of approximately 199,000 bbl/d of SCO in 2018. Additionally, due to the opportunistic acquisition of the Joslyn lease directly south of Horizon, Canadian Natural targets to optimize its mine plan going forward at Horizon, targeting future savings of approximately $500 million. In the Company’s conventional North American Exploration and Production assets, average crude oil and NGL production in 2018 was just over 243,000 bbl/d and natural gas production was approximately 1,550 MMcf/d. Crude oil and NGL production represented an improvement of approximately 4,000 bbl/d over 2017 levels, impressive results given strategic voluntary production curtailments throughout the year. With a focus on execution excellence, drilling teams worked together to complete the 2018 Wembley drilling program, achieving enhanced drilling performance with drilling days reduced by 30% and cost reductions of 17%. New multilateral technology has been successfully deployed The Company’s thermal in situ teams worked together in the Company’s Smith primary heavy crude oil play with effectively to enhance our growth projects in 2018. production continuing to exceed sanctioned rates. As a result, At Kirby North, construction and drilling activities the Company is looking to leverage this technology further continued in 2018 and as a result of top tier execution within the Company’s vast heavy crude oil land base. Within and strong productivity from our teams, the project is on the Company’s natural gas assets, at Septimus, a natural budget and the timeline has been accelerated by two quarters, gas reinjection pilot is being advanced in 2019.

(2) Company Net reserves are working interest share after deduction of royalties and including any royalty interests. (3) BOE values may not calculate due to rounding. (4) Forecast pricing assumptions utilized by the Independent Qualified Reserves Evaluators in the reserves estimates were provided by Sproule Associates Limited: Crude oil and NGL WTI at Cushing (US$/bbl) Western Canada Select (C$/bbl) Canadian Light Sweet (C$/bbl) Cromer LSB (C$/bbl) Edmonton Pentanes+ (C$/bbl) North Sea Brent (US$/bbl) Natural gas AECO (C$/MMBtu) BC Westcoast Station 2 (C$/MMBtu) Henry Hub (US$/MMBtu) 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 63.00 59.47 75.27 75.27 75.32 70.00 1.95 1.35 3.00 67.00 62.31 77.89 76.89 80.00 72.00 2.44 1.94 3.25 70.00 67.45 82.25 81.25 83.75 73.00 3.00 2.60 3.50 71.40 69.53 84.79 83.79 85.50 74.46 3.21 2.81 3.57 72.83 71.66 87.39 86.39 87.29 75.95 3.30 2.90 3.64 Note. All prices increase at a rate of 2%/year after 2023. A foreign exchange rate of 0.7700 US$/C$ for 2019 and 0.8000 US$/C$ after 2019 was used in the 2018 evaluation. (5) A barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) is derived by converting six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil (6 Mcf:1 bbl). This conversion may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation, since the 6 Mcf:1 bbl ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In comparing the value ratio using current crude oil prices relative to natural gas prices, the 6 Mcf:1 bbl conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value. (6) Metrics included herein are commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry and are determined by Canadian Natural as set out in the notes below. These metrics do not have standardized meanings and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and may be misleading when making comparisons. Management uses these metrics to evaluate Canadian Natural’s performance over time. However, such measures are not reliable indicators of Canadian Natural’s future performance and future performance may vary. (7) Reserves additions and revisions are comprised of all categories of Company Gross reserves changes, exclusive of production. (8) Reserves replacement or Production replacement ratio is the Company Gross reserves additions and revisions, for the relevant reserves category, divided by the Company Gross production in the same period. (9) Reserves Life Index is based on the amount for the relevant reserves category divided by the 2019 proved developed producing production forecast prepared by the Independent Qualified Reserves Evaluators. (10) Finding, Development and Acquisition ("FD&A") costs are calculated by dividing the sum of total exploration, development and acquisition capital costs incurred in 2018 by the sum of total additions and revisions for the relevant reserves category. All values used in the calculation are not rounded. (11) FD&A costs including changes in Future Development Capital ("FDC") are calculated by dividing the sum of total exploration, development and acquisition capital costs incurred in 2018 and net changes in FDC from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018 by the sum of total additions and revisions for the relevant reserves category. FDC excludes all abandonment and reclamation costs. All values used in the calculation are not rounded. (12) Recycle Ratio is the operating netback ($27.13/BOE for 2018) divided by the FD&A (in $/BOE). Operating netback is production revenues, excluding realized gains and losses on commodity hedging, less royalties, transportation and production expenses, calculated on a per BOE basis. (13) Abandonment and reclamation costs included in the calculation of the Future Net Revenue (FNR) for 2018 consist of both forecast estimates of abandonment and reclamation costs attributable to future development activity, as well as certain costs already included in the Company’s Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) for development existing as at December 31, 2018. The portion of the Company’s estimated ARO included in the reserves FNR is escalated at 2.0% per year after 2019. Specifically, for North America (excluding SCO assets), FNR includes the ARO costs associated with abandonment and reclamation of wells (wells, well sites, well site equipment and pipelines) with assigned reserves. For SCO assets, FNR includes the ARO costs associated with the abandonment and reclamation of the mine site and all mining facilities and for Horizon assets, it also includes abandonment and reclamation of the upgrading facilities. For North Sea and Offshore Africa, FNR includes the ARO costs associated with the abandonment and reclamation of offshore wells and facilities with assigned reserves. 11 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

Advisory SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements relating to Canadian Natural Resources Limited (the “Company”) in this document or documents incorporated herein by reference constitute forward-looking statements or information (collectively referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the words “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, “target”, “continue”, “could”, “intend”, “may”, “potential”, “predict”, “should”, “will”, “objective”, “project”, “forecast”, “goal”, “guidance”, “outlook”, “effort”, “seeks”, “schedule”, “proposed” or expressions of a similar nature suggesting future outcome or statements regarding an outlook. Disclosure related to expected future commodity pricing, forecast or anticipated production volumes, royalties, production expenses, capital expenditures, income tax expenses and other guidance provided throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, constitute forward-looking statements. Disclosure of plans relating to and expected results of existing and future developments, including but not limited to the Horizon Oil Sands ("Horizon"), the Athabasca Oil Sands Project ("AOSP"), Primrose thermal projects, the Pelican Lake water and polymer flood project, the Kirby Thermal Oil Sands Project, the cost and timing of construction and future operations of the North West Redwater bitumen upgrader and refinery, construction by third parties of new or expansion of existing pipeline capacity or other means of transportation of bitumen, crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") or synthetic crude oil (“SCO”) that the Company may be reliant upon to transport its products to market, development and deployment of technology and technological innovations, the assumption of operations at processing facilities, and the "Outlook" section of this MD&A, particularly in reference to the 2019 guidance provided with respect to budgeted capital expenditures, also constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on annual budgets and multi-year forecasts, and are reviewed and revised throughout the year as necessary in the context of targeted financial ratios, project returns, product pricing expectations and balance in project risk and time horizons. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as there can be no assurances that the plans, initiatives or expectations upon which they are based will occur. In addition, statements relating to “reserves” are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment based on certain estimates and assumptions that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved and proved plus probable crude oil, natural gas and NGLs reserves and in projecting future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. The total amount or timing of actual future production may vary significantly from reserves and production estimates. The forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company and the industry in which the Company operates, which speak only as of the date such statements were made or as of the date of the report or document in which they are contained, and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: general economic and business conditions which will, among other things, impact demand for and market prices of the Company’s products; volatility of and assumptions regarding crude oil and natural gas prices; fluctuations in currency and interest rates; assumptions on which the Company’s current guidance is based; economic conditions in the countries and regions in which the Company conducts business; political uncertainty, including actions of or against terrorists, insurgent groups or other conflict including conflict between states; industry capacity; ability of the Company to implement its business strategy, including exploration and development activities; impact of competition; the Company’s defense of lawsuits; availability and cost of seismic, drilling and other equipment; ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to complete capital programs; the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to secure adequate transportation for its products; unexpected disruptions or delays in the resumption of the mining, extracting or upgrading of the Company’s bitumen products; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; ability of the Company to attract the necessary labour required to build its thermal and oil sands mining projects; operating hazards and other difficulties inherent in the exploration for and production and sale of crude oil and natural gas and in mining, extracting or upgrading the Company’s bitumen products; availability and cost of financing; the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ success of exploration and development activities and its ability to replace and expand crude oil and natural gas reserves; timing and success of integrating the business and operations of acquired companies and assets; production levels; imprecision of reserves estimates and estimates of recoverable quantities of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs not currently classified as proved; actions by governmental authorities; government regulations and the expenditures required to comply with them (especially safety and environmental laws and regulations and the impact of climate change initiatives on capital expenditures and production expenses); asset retirement obligations; the adequacy of the Company’s provision for taxes; and other circumstances affecting revenues and expenses. The Company’s operations have been, and in the future may be, affected by political developments and by national, federal, provincial and local laws and regulations such as restrictions on production, changes in taxes, royalties and other amounts payable to governments or governmental agencies, price or gathering rate controls and environmental protection regulations. 14 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The impact of any one factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as such factors are dependent upon other factors, and the Company’s course of action would depend upon its assessment of the future considering all information then available. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this MD&A could also have adverse effects on forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations conveyed by the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information available to it on the date such forward-looking statements are made, no assurances can be given as to future results, levels of activity and achievements. All subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other factors, or the foregoing factors affecting this information, should circumstances or the Company's estimates or opinions change. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This MD&A includes references to financial measures commonly used in the crude oil and natural gas industry, such as: adjusted net earnings (loss) from operations; adjusted funds flow (previously referred to as funds flow from operations); net capital expenditures; adjusted cash production costs; adjusted depreciation, depletion, and amortization; and net asset value. These financial measures are not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and therefore are referred to as non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its performance. The non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to or more meaningful than net earnings (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and cash flows used in investing activities as determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indication of the Company’s performance. The non-GAAP measure adjusted net earnings (loss) from operations is reconciled to net earnings (loss), as determined in accordance with IFRS, in the “Financial and Operational Highlights" section of this MD&A. Additionally, the non- GAAP measure adjusted funds flow is reconciled to cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with IFRS, in the "Financial and Operational Highlights" section of this MD&A. The non-GAAP measure net capital expenditures is reconciled to cash flows used in investing activities, as determined in accordance with IFRS, in the "Net Capital Expenditures" section of this MD&A. The derivation of adjusted cash production costs and adjusted depreciation, depletion and amortization are included in the “Operating Highlights – Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading” section of this MD&A. The Company also presents certain non-GAAP financial ratios and their derivation in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING CURRENCY, FINANCIAL INFORMATION, PRODUCTION AND RESERVES This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2018. It should also be read in conjunction with the Company's MD&A for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference. All dollar amounts are referenced in millions of Canadian dollars, except where noted otherwise. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and this MD&A have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Production volumes, per unit statistics and reserves data are presented throughout this MD&A on a “before royalties” or “company gross” basis, and realized prices are net of blending and feedstock costs and exclude the effect of risk management activities. In addition, reference is made to crude oil and natural gas in common units called barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE"). A BOE is derived by converting six thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of natural gas to one barrel (“bbl”) of crude oil (6 Mcf:1 bbl). This conversion may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation, since the 6 Mcf:1 bbl ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In comparing the value ratio using current crude oil prices relative to natural gas prices, the 6 Mcf:1 bbl conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value. In addition, for the purposes of this MD&A, crude oil is defined to include the following commodities: light and medium crude oil, primary heavy crude oil, Pelican Lake heavy crude oil, bitumen (thermal oil), and SCO. Production on an “after royalties” or “company net” basis is also presented for information purposes only. The following discussion and analysis refers primarily to the Company’s 2018 financial results compared to 2017 and 2016, unless otherwise indicated. In addition, this MD&A details the Company's targeted capital program for 2019. Additional information relating to the Company, including its quarterly MD&A for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018, its Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2018, and its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

This MD&A is dated March 6, 2019. 15 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. Objectives and Strategy The Company’s objectives are to increase crude oil and natural gas production, reserves, cash flow and net asset value (1) on a per common share basis through the economic development of its existing crude oil and natural gas properties and through the discovery and/or acquisition of new reserves. The Company strives to meet these objectives by having a defined growth and value enhancement plan for each of its products and segments. The Company takes a balanced approach to growth and investments and focuses on creating long-term shareholder value. The Company allocates its capital by maintaining: ■■ Balance among its products, namely light and medium crude oil and NGLs, primary heavy crude oil, Pelican Lake heavy crude oil (2), bitumen (thermal oil), SCO and natural gas; ■■ A large, balanced, diversified, high quality, long life low decline asset base; ■■ Balance among acquisitions, exploitation and exploration; and ■■ Balance between sources and terms of debt financing and a strong financial position. (1) Discounted value of crude oil and natural gas reserves plus value of unproved land, less net debt. (2) Pelican Lake heavy crude oil is 12–17º API oil, which receives medium quality crude netbacks due to lower production expense and lower royalty rates. The Company’s three-phase crude oil marketing strategy includes: ■■ Blending various crude oil streams with diluents to create more attractive feedstock; ■■ Supporting and participating in pipeline expansions and/or new additions; and ■■ Supporting and participating in projects that will increase the downstream conversion capacity for heavy crude oil and bitumen (thermal oil). Operational discipline, safe, effective and efficient operations, and cost control are fundamental to the Company. By consistently managing costs throughout all cycles of the industry, the Company believes it will achieve continued growth. Effective and efficient operations and cost control are attained by developing area knowledge, and by maintaining high working interests and operator status in its properties. The Company is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and flexible capital structure. The Company believes it has built the necessary financial capacity to complete its growth projects. Additionally, the Company periodically utilizes its risk management hedging program to reduce the risk of volatility in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates and to support the Company’s cash flow for its capital expenditure programs. Strategic accretive acquisitions are a key component of the Company’s strategy. The Company has used a combination of internally generated cash flows and debt and equity financing to selectively acquire properties generating future cash flows in its core areas. 16 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

Accordingly, the fair value of the outstanding vested options is recorded as a liability on the Company’s balance sheets and periodic changes in the fair value are recognized in net earnings (loss) or are charged to (recovered from) the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment. (2) Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets, with changes in the fair value of non-designated hedges recognized in net earnings (loss). The amounts ultimately realized may be materially different than those amounts reflected in the financial statements due to changes in prices of the underlying items hedged, primarily crude oil, natural gas and foreign exchange. (3) Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses result primarily from the translation of US dollar denominated long-term debt to period-end exchange rates, partially offset by the impact of cross currency swaps, and are recognized in net earnings (loss). (4) During 2018, the Company repaid US$600 million of 1.75% notes and US$400 million of 5.90% notes. (5) The Company's investment in the 50% owned North West Redwater Partnership ("Redwater Partnership") is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Included in the non-cash loss (gain) from investments is the Company's pro rata share of the Redwater Partnership's accounting loss (gain). (6) The Company’s investments in PrairieSky Royalty Ltd. (“PrairieSky”) and Inter Pipeline Ltd. ("Inter Pipeline") have been accounted for at fair value through profit and loss and are measured each period with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings (loss). (7) During 2018, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $16 million ($12 million after-tax) on the disposition of a 30% interest in the exploration right in South Africa. Additionally, the Gabonese Republic approved cessation of production from the Company’s Olowi field and associated asset retirement obligations, as well as the terms of termination of the Olowi Production Sharing Contract and the surrender of the permit area back to the Gabonese Republic, resulting in a pre-tax gain on disposition of property of $20 million ($14 million after-tax). The Company also recorded a pre-tax gain of $277 million ($263 million after- tax) related to acquisitions in the North America Exploration and Production segment. Additionally, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $120 million ($72 million after-tax) on the acquisition of the remaining interest at Ninian in the North Sea and a pre-tax gain of $19 million ($11 million after-tax) relating to the revaluation of the Company's previously held interest at Ninian. During 2017, the Company recorded a pre-tax revaluation gain of $114 million ($83 million after-tax) related to a previously held joint interest in a pipeline system. Additionally, the Company recorded a pre and after-tax gain of $230 million on the acquisition of a direct and indirect 70% interest in AOSP and other assets from Shell Canada Limited and certain subsidiaries (“Shell”) and an affiliate of Marathon Oil Corporation (“Marathon"), and a pre-tax gain of $35 million ($26 million after-tax) on the disposition of certain exploration and evaluation assets in the North America segment. During 2016, the Company recorded a pre and after-tax gain of $218 million on the disposition of Midstream property, plant and equipment. Additionally, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $32 million ($23 million after-tax) on the disposition of certain exploration and evaluation assets. (8) During 2016, in connection with the Company's notice of withdrawal from Block CI-12 in Côte d'Ivoire, Offshore Africa, the Company derecognized $18 million ($13 million after-tax) of exploration and evaluation assets through depletion, depreciation and amortization expense. (9) All substantively enacted adjustments in applicable income tax rates and other legislative changes are applied to underlying assets and liabilities on the Company's balance sheets in determining deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The impact of these tax rate and other legislative changes is recorded in net earnings (loss) during the period the legislation is substantively enacted. During 2017, the British Columbia government enacted legislation that increased the provincial corporate income tax rate from 11% to 12% effective January 1, 2018. As a result of this income tax rate increase, the Company's deferred corporate income tax liability was increased by $10 million. During 2016, the UK government enacted legislation to reduce the supplementary charge on oil and gas profits from 20% to 10% effective January 1, 2016, resulting in a decrease in the Company's deferred corporate income tax liability of $107 million. In addition, the UK government also enacted tax rate reductions relating to Petroleum Revenue Tax (“PRT”), resulting in a decrease in the Company’s net deferred income tax liability of $114 million.

CONSOLIDATED NET EARNINGS (LOSS) AND ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS (LOSS) For 2018, the Company reported net earnings of $2,591 million compared with net earnings of $2,397 million for 2017 (2016 – $204 million net loss). Net earnings for 2018 included net after-tax expenses of $672 million related to the effects of share-based compensation, risk management activities, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates including the impact of realized foreign exchange losses on repayments of long-term debt, the loss (gain) from investments, gain on acquisition, disposition and revaluation of properties, derecognition of exploration and evaluation assets and the impact of statutory tax rate and other legislative changes on deferred income tax liabilities (2017 – $994 million after-tax income; 2016 – $465 million after-tax income). Excluding these items, adjusted net earnings from operations for 2018 were $3,263 million compared with adjusted net earnings of $1,403 million for 2017 (2016 – $669 million adjusted net loss). The increase in net earnings and adjusted net earnings from operations for 2018 from 2017 was primarily due to: ■■ higher SCO sales volumes in the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment; ■■ higher realized SCO prices in the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment; ■■ higher realized risk management gains; and ■■ higher crude oil and NGLs netbacks in the International segments; partially offset by: ■■ lower crude oil and NGLs netbacks in the North America Exploration and Production segment; ■■ higher depletion, depreciation and amortization in the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment; ■■ ■■ lower natural gas netbacks in the North America Exploration and Production segment; and lower crude oil and NGLs sales volumes in the Exploration and Production segments. Net earnings and adjusted net earnings from operations for 2018 as compared to net earnings and adjusted net earnings from operations for 2017 included the impact of a significant decline in crude oil pricing in November and December 2018 as a result of an oversupplied domestic market environment and a lack of takeaway capacity, resulting in increased storage levels and higher apportionment on the Enbridge Mainline system. The WCS heavy differential averaged US$39.36 per bbl for the fourth quarter of 2018 (third quarter of 2018 – US$22.17 per bbl). The SCO price averaged US$37.48 per bbl for the fourth quarter of 2018 (third quarter of 2018 – US$68.44 per bbl). Following the Government of Alberta's announcement on December 2, 2018 of a mandatory curtailment of crude oil production, the WCS heavy differential index narrowed to US$12.38 per bbl for the first quarter of 2019 and the differential between SCO and WTI benchmark pricing narrowed to US$2.70 per bbl for the first quarter of 2019. Crude oil and natural gas pricing are discussed in detail in the "Business Environment" section of this MD&A. The impacts of share-based compensation, risk management activities and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates also contributed to the movements in net earnings (loss) for 2018 from 2017. These items are discussed in detail in the relevant sections of this MD&A. 19 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES AND ADJUSTED FUNDS FLOW Cash flows from operating activities for 2018 increased to $10,121 million from $7,262 million for 2017 (2016 – $3,452 million). The increase in cash flows from operating activities for 2018 from 2017 was primarily due to the factors noted above relating to the fluctuations in adjusted net earnings (loss) (except for the effect of depletion, depreciation and amortization), as well as due to the impact of changes in non-cash working capital. Adjusted funds flow for 2018 increased to $9,088 million ($7.46 per common share) from $7,347 million for 2017 ($6.25 per common share) (2016 – $4,293 million; $3.90 per common share). The increase in adjusted funds flow for 2018 from 2017 was primarily due to the factors noted above relating to the fluctuations in cash flows from operating activities excluding the impact of the net change in non-cash working capital, abandonment and certain movements in other long-term assets. PRODUCT PRICING In the Company’s Exploration and Production activities, the 2018 average sales price per bbl of crude oil and NGLs decreased 3% to average $46.92 per bbl from $48.57 per bbl in 2017 (2016 – $36.93 per bbl), and the 2018 average natural gas price decreased 5% to average $2.61 per Mcf from $2.76 per Mcf in 2017 (2016 – $2.32 per Mcf). In the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment, the Company’s 2018 average SCO sales price increased 7% to average $68.61 per bbl from $63.98 per bbl in 2017 (2016 – $58.59 per bbl). Crude oil and NGLs and natural gas pricing are discussed in detail in the “Business Environment” section of this MD&A. PRODUCTION VOLUMES Total production of crude oil and NGLs before royalties for 2018 increased 20% to average 820,778 bbl/d from 685,236 bbl/d in 2017 (2016 – 523,873 bbl/d). The increase in crude oil and NGLs production from 2017 was primarily due to the impact of Phase 3 production at Horizon and acquisitions completed in 2017, partially offset by the impact of proactive measures taken by the Company to voluntarily curtail crude oil production and reduce drilling in heavy oil. Total natural gas production before royalties for 2018 decreased 7% to average 1,548 MMcf/d from 1,662 MMcf/d in 2017 (2016 – 1,691 MMcf/d). The decrease in natural gas production from 2017 primarily reflected the impact of shut-in volumes due to low natural gas prices, a failure on a natural gas transmission line in British Columbia (T-South) and a turnaround at the third-party Pine River processing facility beginning on September 15, 2018. Operations at the facility were partially reinstated on December 6, 2018. Subject to regulatory approval, the Company targets to take over operations at the facility in the first half of 2019. Total crude oil and NGLs and natural gas production volumes before royalties for 2018 increased 12% to average 1,078,813 BOE/d from 962,264 BOE/d in 2017 (2016 – 805,782 BOE/d). Crude oil and NGLs and natural gas production volumes are discussed in detail in the “Daily Production” section of this MD&A. 20 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth.

Sales volumes also reflected fluctuations due to timing of liftings and maintenance activities in the International segments. ■■ Natural gas sales volumes – Fluctuations in production due to the Company’s allocation of capital to higher return crude oil projects, natural decline rates, fluctuating capacity at a third-party processing facility, shut-in production due to third party pipeline restrictions and related pricing impacts, shut-in production due to low commodity prices, and the impact and timing of acquisitions. ■■ Production expense – Fluctuations primarily due to the impact of the demand and cost for services, fluctuations in product mix and production volumes, the impact of seasonal costs that are dependent on weather, the impact of increased carbon tax and energy costs, cost optimizations across all segments, the impact and timing of acquisitions, including the acquisition of AOSP and other assets, the impact of turnarounds and pitstops in the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment, and maintenance activities in the International segments. ■■ Depletion, depreciation and amortization – Fluctuations due to changes in sales volumes including the impact and timing of acquisitions and dispositions, proved reserves, asset retirement obligations, finding and development costs associated with crude oil and natural gas exploration, estimated future costs to develop the Company’s proved undeveloped reserves, fluctuations in International sales volumes subject to higher depletion rates, fluctuations in depletion, depreciation and amortization expense in the North Sea due to the cessation of production at the Ninian North platform in the second quarter of 2017, and the impact of turnarounds and pitstops in the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment. 21 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. ■■ Share-based compensation – Fluctuations due to the determination of fair market value based on the Black-Scholes valuation model of the Company’s share-based compensation liability. ■■ Risk management – Fluctuations due to the recognition of gains and losses from the mark-to-market and subsequent settlement of the Company’s risk management activities. ■■ Foreign exchange rates – Fluctuations in the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar, which impact the realized price the Company received for its crude oil and natural gas sales, as sales prices are based predominantly on US dollar denominated benchmarks. Fluctuations in realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses were also recorded with respect to US dollar denominated debt, partially offset by the impact of cross currency swap hedges. ■■ Income tax expense – Fluctuations in income tax expense due to statutory tax rate and other legislative changes substantively enacted in the various periods. ■■ Gains on acquisition, disposition and revaluation of properties and gains/losses on investments – Fluctuations due to the recognition of gains on the acquisition of AOSP and other assets, the acquisition, disposition and revaluation of properties in the various periods, fair value changes in the investments in PrairieSky and Inter Pipeline shares, and the equity loss (gain) on the Company's interest in the Redwater Partnership.

Specifically, crude oil is marketed based on WTI and Brent indices. Canadian natural gas pricing is primarily based on Alberta AECO reference pricing, which is derived from the NYMEX reference pricing and adjusted for its basis or location differential to the NYMEX delivery point at Henry Hub. The Company’s realized prices are highly sensitive to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. During 2018, product revenue continued to be impacted by the volatility in the Canadian dollar as the Canadian dollar sales price the Company received for its crude oil and natural gas sales is based on US dollar denominated benchmarks. The average value of the Canadian dollar in relation to the US dollar fluctuated throughout 2018, with a high of approximately US$0.81 in February 2018 and a low of approximately US$0.73 in December 2018. Crude oil sales contracts in the North America segment are typically based on WTI benchmark pricing. WTI averaged US$64.78 per bbl for 2018, an increase of 27% from US$50.93 per bbl for 2017 (2016 – US$43.37 per bbl). Crude oil sales contracts for the Company’s North Sea and Offshore Africa segments are typically based on Brent pricing, which is representative of international markets and overall world supply and demand. Brent averaged US$71.12 per bbl for 2018, an increase of 31% from US$54.38 per bbl for 2017 (2016 – US$43.96 per bbl). WTI and Brent pricing for 2018 increased from 2017 primarily due to declines in global crude oil inventories, together with larger than anticipated increases in global demand for crude oil. The WCS heavy differential averaged US$26.29 per bbl for 2018, an increase of 120% from US$11.97 per bbl for 2017 (2016 – US$13.91 per bbl). The significant widening of the WCS heavy differential reflected a shortage of takeaway capacity out of the Basin, resulting in increased storage levels and higher apportionment on the Enbridge Mainline system. Following the Government of Alberta's announcement on December 2, 2018 of a mandatory curtailment of crude oil production, the WCS heavy differential index narrowed to US$12.38 per bbl for the first quarter of 2019 compared to US$39.36 per bbl during the fourth quarter of 2018. 22 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

The increase in SCO pricing for 2018 from 2017 primarily reflected increases in WTI benchmark pricing through the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by decreased pricing in the fourth quarter of 2018 due to a shortage of takeaway capacity out of the Basin, resulting in increased storage levels and higher apportionment on the Enbridge Mainline system. Following the Government of Alberta's announcement on December 2, 2018 of a mandatory curtailment of crude oil production, the differential between SCO and WTI benchmark pricing narrowed to US$2.70 per bbl for the first quarter of 2019 compared to US$21.35 per bbl during the fourth quarter of 2018. Condensate pricing averaged US$60.98 per bbl for 2018, an increase of 18% from US$51.65 per bbl for 2017 (2016 – US$42.51 per bbl). The increase in condensate pricing for 2018 from 2017 primarily reflected increases in the underlying benchmark pricing. NYMEX natural gas prices averaged US$3.08 per MMBtu for 2018, comparable with US$3.11 per MMBtu for 2017 (2016 – US$2.45 per MMBtu). AECO natural gas prices averaged $1.45 per GJ for 2018, a decrease of 37% from $2.30 per GJ for 2017 (2016 – $1.98 per GJ). The decrease in AECO natural gas prices for 2018 compared with 2017 reflected third party pipeline constraints limiting flow of natural gas to export markets as well as increased natural gas production in the Basin.

Total 2018 production averaged 1,078,813 BOE/d, a 12% increase from 962,264 BOE/d in 2017 (2016 – 805,782 BOE/d). Total production of crude oil and NGLs for 2018 increased 20% to 820,778 bbl/d from 685,236 bbl/d for 2017 (2016 – 523,873 bbl/d). The increase in crude oil and NGLs production from 2017 was primarily due to the impact of Phase 3 production at Horizon and acquisitions completed in 2017, partially offset by the impact of proactive measures taken by the Company to voluntarily curtail crude oil production and reduce heavy oil drilling. Crude oil and NGLs production for 2018 was above the midpoint of the Company’s previously issued guidance of 812,000 to 822,000 bbl/d. 24 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. Natural gas production accounted for 24% of the Company's total production in 2018 on a BOE basis. Natural gas production for 2018 decreased 7% to 1,548 MMcf/d from 1,662 MMcf/d for 2017 (2016 – 1,691 MMcf/d). The decrease in natural gas production from 2017 primarily reflected the impact of shut-in volumes due to low natural gas prices, natural field declines and reduced drilling activity, together with the impact of downtime and restricted capacity at the third-party Pine River processing facility. Subject to regulatory approval, the Company targets to take over operations at the facility in the first half of 2019. Natural gas production for 2018 was within the Company’s previously issued guidance of 1,545 to 1,555 MMcf/d. North America – Exploration and Production North America crude oil and NGLs production for 2018 decreased 2% to average 350,961 bbl/d from 359,449 bbl/d for 2017 (2016 – 350,958 bbl/d). The decrease in production from 2017 primarily reflected the impact of proactive measures taken by the Company to voluntarily curtail crude oil production, together with reduced heavy oil drilling and natural field declines. Operating performance at Pelican Lake continued to be strong following the acquisition completed in 2017, leading to average production of 63,082 bbl/d in 2018 compared with 51,743 bbl/d in 2017 (2016 – 47,637 bbl/d). The polymer flood on the acquired Pelican assets was restored to 62% of the field. Overall thermal oil production for 2018 averaged 107,839 bbl/d compared with 120,140 bbl/d for 2017 (2016 – 111,046 bbl/d). Production volumes in 2018 primarily reflected the impact of proactive measures taken by the Company to voluntarily curtail crude oil production. Natural gas production for 2018 decreased 7% to average 1,490 MMcf/d from 1,601 MMcf/d for 2017 (2016 – 1,622 MMcf/d). The decrease in natural gas production from 2017 primarily reflected the impact of shut-in volumes due to low natural gas prices, natural field declines and reduced drilling activity, together with the impact of downtime and restricted capacity at the third-party Pine River processing facility. North America – Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading SCO production for 2018 increased 51% to 426,190 bbl/d from 282,026 bbl/d for 2017 (2016 – 123,265 bbl/d). The increase in SCO production from 2017 primarily reflected high Phase 3 production reliability at Horizon and the acquisition of AOSP. North Sea North Sea crude oil production for 2018 increased 2% to 23,965 bbl/d from 23,426 bbl/d for 2017 (2016 – 23,554 bbl/d). The increase in production from 2017 primarily reflected the successful drilling program completed in 2018, partially offset by natural field declines. Offshore Africa Offshore Africa crude oil production for 2018 decreased 3% to 19,662 bbl/d from 20,335 bbl/d for 2017 (2016 – 26,096 bbl/d). Production volumes decreased from 2017 primarily due to natural field declines offsetting volumes from new wells drilled at Baobab in the latter half of 2018. Corporate Production Guidance for 2019 The Company targets production levels in 2019 to average between 782,000 bbl/d and 861,000 bbl/d of crude oil and NGLs and between 1,485 MMcf/d and 1,545 MMcf/d of natural gas. Corporate crude oil and NGLs production guidance for 2019 reflects production curtailments as currently mandated by the Government of Alberta for the first quarter of 2019.

North America – Product Prices North America realized crude oil prices decreased 9% to average $41.82 per bbl for 2018 from $45.85 per bbl for 2017 (2016 – $34.31 per bbl), primarily due to the widening of the WCS heavy differential, which reflected a shortage of takeaway capacity out of the Basin, resulting in increased storage levels and higher apportionment on the Enbridge Mainline system. North America realized natural gas prices decreased 10% to average $2.33 per Mcf for 2018 from $2.58 per Mcf for 2017 (2016 – $2.15 per Mcf). The decrease primarily reflected third party pipeline constraints limiting the flow of natural gas to the export market, together with increased natural gas production in the Basin. The Company continues to focus on its crude oil marketing strategy including a blending strategy that expands markets within current pipeline infrastructure, supporting pipeline projects that will provide capacity to transport crude oil to new markets, and working with refiners to add incremental heavy crude oil and bitumen (thermal oil) conversion capacity. During 2018, the Company contributed approximately 175,100 bbl/d of heavy crude oil blends to the WCS stream. The Company has entered into a 20 year transportation agreement to ship 75,000 bbl/d of crude oil on the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion from Edmonton, Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia. The National Energy Board has provided their recommendation that construction of the pipeline should proceed and the related Federal Government consultations with Indigenous communities are ongoing. Subject to Cabinet’s final approval, the project could be issued a revised Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity this summer with construction re-starting as early as August 2019. The Company has also entered into a 20 year transportation agreement to ship 175,000 bbl/d of crude oil on the proposed TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta to the US Gulf Coast. TransCanada is awaiting the completion of a new supplemental environmental review addressing issues raised through litigation in a Montana Federal Court Case. A decision is also expected in April 2019 on the Nebraska Public Service Commission's route approval. Pre-construction activities have started and TransCanada is working to maintain an expected in-service date in 2021.

North America – Royalties Government royalties on a significant portion of North America crude oil and NGLs production fall under the oil sands royalty regime and are calculated on a project by project basis as a percentage of gross revenue less operating, capital and abandonment costs incurred ("net profit"). North America crude oil and natural gas royalty rates for 2018 and the comparable periods reflected movements in benchmark commodity prices. North America crude oil royalty rates also reflected fluctuations in the WCS Heavy Differential. Crude oil and NGLs royalty rates averaged approximately 14% of product sales for 2018 compared with 13% of product sales for 2017 (2016 – 12%). The increase in royalty rates for 2018 from 2017 was primarily due to higher realized crude oil prices for the majority of 2018, offsetting the impact of lower realized crude oil prices in the fourth quarter of 2018. Natural gas royalty rates averaged approximately 4% of product sales for 2018 compared with 5% of product sales for 2017 (2016 – 4%). The decrease in royalty rates for 2018 from 2017 was primarily due to lower realized natural gas prices. Offshore Africa – Royalties Under the terms of the various Production Sharing Contracts, royalty rates fluctuate based on realized commodity pricing, capital expenditures and production expenses, the status of payouts, and the timing of liftings from each field. Royalty rates as a percentage of product sales averaged approximately 7% for 2018 compared with 7% of product sales for 2017 (2016 – 4%). Royalty rates as a percentage of product sales reflected the timing of liftings and the status of payout in the various fields.

The increase in crude oil and NGLs production expense for 2018 from 2017 reflected increased carbon tax and energy costs in 2018 together with increased costs associated with the Company's proactive measures to voluntarily curtail crude oil production, partially offset by the Company's continuous focus on cost control and achieving efficiencies across the entire asset base. 28 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. North America natural gas production expense for 2018 increased 5% to $1.25 per Mcf from $1.19 per Mcf for 2017 (2016 – $1.12 per Mcf). The increase in natural gas production expense for 2018 from 2017 primarily reflected the impact of lower volumes on a relatively fixed cost base due to low natural gas prices and a turnaround at the third-party Pine River processing facility. Production expense in 2018 also reflected additional costs associated with the shut-in of production due to low natural gas pricing during 2018, partially offset by the Company's continuous focus on cost control and achieving efficiencies across the entire asset base. North Sea – Production Expense North Sea crude oil production expense for 2018 increased 9% to $39.89 per bbl from $36.60 per bbl for 2017 (2016 – $42.47 per bbl). The increase in crude oil production expense for 2018 from 2017 primarily reflected higher carbon tax costs and the strengthening of the UK pound sterling compared to the Canadian dollar. Offshore Africa – Production Expense Offshore Africa crude oil production expense related to the Baobab and Espoir fields in Côte d'Ivoire for 2018 was $13.30 per bbl, compared to $12.41 per bbl for 2017. Total Offshore Africa crude oil production expense, including the Olowi field in Gabon, was $26.34 per bbl for 2018, an increase of 9% from $24.07 per bbl for 2017 (2016 – $18.48 per bbl). Total Offshore Africa crude oil production expense for 2018 primarily reflected the timing of liftings from various fields, including the Olowi field in Gabon, that have different cost structures, fluctuating production volumes on a relatively fixed cost base, and planned maintenance activities. Production expense was also impacted by movements in the Canadian dollar. During 2018, the Gabonese Republic approved cessation of production from the Company’s Olowi field, as well as the terms of termination of the Olowi Production Sharing Contract and the surrender of the permit area back to the Gabonese Republic, including associated asset retirement obligations of $69 million. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain on disposition of property of $20 million ($14 million after-tax). In January 2019, the Company completed FPSO demobilization and sail away activities.

Approximately 46% of the Company's heavy crude oil production is transported to international mainline liquid pipelines via the 100% owned and operated ECHO and Pelican Lake pipelines. The Midstream pipeline asset ownership allows the Company to control transportation costs, earn third party revenue, and manage the marketing of heavy crudes. During 2017, the Company recorded a pre-tax revaluation gain of $114 million ($83 million after-tax) related to a previously held joint interest in a pipeline system. During 2016, the Company disposed of its interest in the Cold Lake Pipeline, including $321 million of property, plant and equipment, for total net consideration of $539 million, resulting in a pre and after-tax gain of $218 million. Total net consideration was comprised of $349 million in cash, together with $190 million of non-cash share consideration of approximately 6.4 million common shares of Inter Pipeline with a value of $29.57 per common share, determined as of the closing date. Redwater Partnership has entered into agreements to construct and operate a 50,000 barrel per day bitumen upgrader and refinery (the "Project") under processing agreements that target to process 12,500 barrels per day of bitumen feedstock for the Company and 37,500 barrels per day of bitumen feedstock for the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission (“APMC”), an agent of the Government of Alberta, under a 30 year fee-for-service tolling agreement. The facility capital cost (“FCC”) budget for the Project is currently estimated to be $9,700 million. The Project is currently in the commissioning phase, with completion targeted for the second quarter of 2019. During 2013, the Company and APMC agreed, each with a 50% interest, to provide subordinated debt, bearing interest at prime plus 6%, as required for Project costs to maintain the agreed debt to equity ratio of 80/20. To December 31, 2018, each party has provided $439 million of subordinated debt, together with accrued interest thereon of $152 million, for a Company total of $591 million. Any additional subordinated debt financing is not expected to be significant. 31 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. Pursuant to the processing agreements, on June 1, 2018 the Company began paying its 25% pro rata share of the debt portion of the monthly cost of service toll, currently consisting of interest and fees, with principal repayments beginning in 2020. The Company is unconditionally obligated to pay this portion of the cost of service toll over the 30 year tolling period. As at December 31, 2018, the Company had recognized $62 million in prepaid service tolls. During 2017, Redwater Partnership issued $750 million of 2.80% series J senior secured bonds due June 2027 and $750 million of 3.65% series K senior secured bonds due June 2035. During 2016, Redwater Partnership issued $550 million of 4.25% series F senior secured bonds due June 2029, $500 million of 4.75% series G senior secured bonds due June 2037, $500 million of 4.15% series H senior secured bonds due June 2033, and $500 million of 4.35% series I senior secured bonds due January 2039. As at December 31, 2018, Redwater Partnership had borrowings of $2,333 million under its secured $3,500 million syndicated credit facility. During 2018, Redwater Partnership extended $2,000 million of the $3,500 million revolving syndicated credit facility to June 2021. The remaining $1,500 million was extended on a fully drawn non-revolving basis maturing February 2020.

Administration expense per BOE for 2018 decreased 9% to $0.83 per BOE from $0.91 per BOE for 2017 (2016 – $1.17 per BOE). Administration expense per BOE decreased for 2018 from 2017 primarily due to higher sales volumes. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION ($ millions) (Recovery) expense 2018 2017 $ (146) $ 134 $ 2016 355 The Company’s Stock Option Plan provides current employees with the right to receive common shares or a cash payment in exchange for stock options surrendered. The Company recorded an $146 million share-based compensation recovery for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily as a result of remeasurement of the fair value of outstanding stock options related to the impact of normal course graded vesting of stock options granted in prior periods, the impact of vested stock options exercised or surrendered during the period and changes in the Company’s share price. Included within the share-based compensation recovery for 2018 was an expense of $8 million related to performance share units granted to certain executive employees (2017 – $5 million; 2016 – $nil). For 2018, the Company recovered $19 million of share-based compensation costs from the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment (2017 – $14 million costs charged, 2016 – $67 million costs charged).

Gross interest and other financing expense for 2018 increased from 2017 primarily due to the impact of higher average debt levels as a result of acquisitions completed in 2017 and higher interest rates in 2018. Capitalized interest of $69 million for 2018 was primarily related to Kirby North and residual project activities at Horizon. Net interest and other financing expense for 2018 increased 5% to $1.88 per BOE from $1.79 per BOE for 2017 (2016 – $1.30 per BOE). The increase for 2018 from 2017 was primarily due to higher average debt levels as a result of acquisitions completed in 2017 and lower capitalized interest related to the completion of Horizon Phase 3. The Company’s average effective interest rate of 3.9% for 2018 was consistent with 2017 and 2016.

The net realized foreign exchange loss for 2018 was primarily due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement of working capital items denominated in US dollars or UK pounds sterling and the repayment of US$600 million of 1.75% notes and US$400 million of 5.90% notes. The net unrealized foreign exchange loss for 2018 was primarily related to the impact of the weakening Canadian dollar with respect to outstanding US dollar debt, partially offset by the reversal of the net unrealized foreign exchange loss on the repayment of US$600 million of 1.75% notes and US$400 million of 5.90% notes. The net unrealized loss (gain) for each of the periods presented included the impact of cross currency swaps (2018 – unrealized gain of $118 million, 2017 – unrealized loss of $280 million, 2016 – unrealized loss of $295 million). The US/Canadian dollar exchange rate at December 31, 2018 was US$0.7328 (December 31, 2017 – US$0.7988, December 31, 2016 – US$0.7448). 33 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

In addition, the effective income tax rate for 2016 also reflected the successful resolution of certain prior year tax matters. The current corporate income tax and PRT recoveries in the North Sea in 2018 and the comparable years included the impact of abandonment expenditures. During 2017, the British Columbia government enacted legislation that increased the provincial corporate income tax rate from 11% to 12% effective January 1, 2018. As a result of this income tax rate increase, the Company's deferred corporate income tax liability was increased by $10 million. During 2016, the UK government enacted legislation to reduce the supplementary charge on oil and gas profits from 20% to 10% effective January 1, 2016, resulting in a decrease in the Company's deferred corporate income tax liability of $107 million. In addition, the UK government also enacted legislation to reduce the PRT rate from 35% to 0% effective January 1, 2016. Allowable abandonment expenditures eligible for carryback to 2015 and prior taxation years for PRT purposes are still recoverable at a PRT rate of 50%. As a result of these tax changes, the Company’s deferred PRT liability was reduced by $228 million and the deferred corporate income tax liability was increased by $114 million. The Company files income tax returns in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to periodic examinations in the normal course by the applicable tax authorities. The tax returns as prepared may include filing positions that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations, which may take several years to resolve. The Company does not believe the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material impact upon the Company’s reported results of operations, financial position or liquidity. For 2019, current income tax expense is targeted to range from $300 million to $400 million in Canada and $55 million to $85 million in the North Sea and Offshore Africa. During 2018, the Company filed Scientific Research and Experimental Development claims of approximately $265 million (2017 – $345 million; 2016 – $549 million) relating to qualifying research and development expenditures for Canadian income tax purposes. 34 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

The Company’s strategy is focused on building a diversified asset base that is balanced among various products. In order to facilitate efficient operations, the Company concentrates its activities in core areas. The Company focuses on maintaining its land inventories to enable the continuous exploitation of play types and geological trends, greatly reducing overall exploration risk. By owning associated infrastructure, the Company is able to maximize utilization of its production facilities, thereby increasing control over production expenses. Net capital expenditures for 2018 were $4,731 million compared with $17,129 million for 2017 (2016 – $3,794 million). Net capital expenditures for 2017 included $12,157 million related to the acquisition of AOSP and other assets and $921 million related to the acquisition of assets in the Greater Pelican Lake region and other miscellaneous assets. Net capital expenditures for 2018 included: ■■ $105 million (US$79 million) of proceeds for the disposal of a 30% interest in the exploration right in South Africa, comprised of exploration and evaluation assets of $89 million, including a recovery of $14 million of past incurred costs in the Offshore Africa segment; ■■ $218 million of consideration for the acquisition of the Joslyn oil sands project in the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment (comprising $100 million cash on closing with the remaining balance paid equally over the next five years); ■■ $22 million of cash consideration for the acquisition of Laricina Energy Ltd. in the North America Exploration and Production segment (net of $24 million of cash acquired); and ■■ $73 million of cash proceeds for the acquisition of the remaining interest at the Ninian field in the North Sea. 2019 CAPITAL BUDGET On December 5, 2018, the Company announced its 2019 Capital Budget. The 2019 budget targets a base capital program of $3,700 million, including $3,100 million to maintain current production levels and approximately $600 million directed toward long-term growth projects. The Company maintains capital flexibility in its 2019 budget. Should market access conditions improve, the Company has the capability to adjust 2019 capital spending. Capital expenditures in 2019 are discussed in further detail in the “Outlook” section of this MD&A.

The Company also targeted 486 net crude oil wells. The majority of these net wells were concentrated in the Company's Northern Plains region where 240 primary heavy crude oil wells, 125 bitumen (thermal oil) wells, 22 Pelican Lake heavy crude oil wells and 7 light crude oil wells were drilled. Another 92 wells targeting light crude oil were drilled outside the Northern Plains region. The Company's strategic and proactive decisions and its ability to utilize capital flexibility based on its large, balanced and diverse asset base has been reflected in the North America drilling program. During 2018, the Company reallocated capital spending from primary heavy crude oil to light crude oil, with an increase of 32 net wells in light crude oil and a corresponding decrease of 137 net wells in primary heavy crude oil. North Sea During 2018, the Company completed four gross production wells and one gross injection well (4.9 on a net basis), successfully completing the 2018 drilling program in the North Sea. Offshore Africa During 2018, the Company completed three gross production wells (1.7 on a net basis) at Baobab. The Company is targeting one gross production well and two gross injection wells at Baobab in 2019. The Company has retained a 20% working interest in Block 11B/12B, off the southern coast of South Africa. In late December, the operator of the exploration right commenced the drilling of an exploratory well. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the operator announced that drilling results indicate the presence of natural gas condensate. The Company expects the cost of the current exploration well to be fully carried pursuant to two separate farm-out agreements that were completed in 2018.

Cash flows from operating activities and the Company’s ability to renew existing bank credit facilities and raise new debt is dependent on factors discussed in the “Risks and Uncertainties” section of this MD&A. In addition, the Company’s ability to renew existing bank credit facilities and raise new debt reflects current credit ratings as determined by independent rating agencies, and the conditions of the market. The Company continues to believe that its internally generated cash flows from operating activities supported by the implementation of its ongoing hedge policy, the flexibility of its capital expenditure programs and multi-year financial plans, its existing bank credit facilities, and its ability to raise new debt on commercially acceptable terms will provide sufficient liquidity to sustain its operations in the short, medium and long-term and support its growth strategy. 37 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

Additional reserves disclosure is annually disclosed in the AIF and the “Supplementary Oil and Gas Information” section of the Company’s Annual Report. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is exposed to various operational risks inherent in the exploration, development, production and marketing of crude oil and NGLs and natural gas and the mining, extracting and upgrading of bitumen into SCO. These inherent risks include, but are not limited to, the following: ■■ The ability to find, produce and replace reserves, whether sourced from exploration, improved recovery or acquisitions, at a reasonable cost, including the risk of reserves revisions due to economic and technical factors. Reserves revisions can have a positive or negative impact on asset valuations, ARO and depletion rates; ■■ Reservoir quality and uncertainty of reserves estimates; ■■ Volatility in the prevailing prices of crude oil and NGLs and natural gas; ■■ Regulatory risk related to approval for exploration and development activities, which can add to costs or cause delays in projects; ■■ Labour risk associated with securing the manpower necessary to complete capital projects in a timely and cost effective manner; ■■ Operating hazards and other difficulties inherent in the exploration for and production and sale of crude oil and natural gas and in mining, extracting and upgrading the Company’s bitumen products; ■■ Timing and success of integrating the business and operations of acquired companies and assets; ■■ Credit risk related to non-payment for sales contracts or non-performance by counterparties to contracts, including derivative financial instruments and physical sales contracts as part of a hedging program; ■■ Interest rate risk associated with the Company’s ability to secure financing on commercially acceptable terms; 41 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. ■■ Foreign exchange risk due to the effect of fluctuating exchange rates on the Company’s US dollar denominated debt and revenue from sales predominantly based on US dollar denominated benchmarks; ■■ Environmental impact risk associated with exploration and development activities, including GHG; ■■ Geopolitical risks associated with changing governments or governmental policies, social instability and other political, economic or diplomatic developments in the regions where the Company has its operations; ■■ Future legislative and regulatory developments related to environmental regulation; ■■ Potential actions of governments, regulatory authorities and other stakeholders that may result in costs or restrictions in the jurisdictions where the Company has operations, including but not limited to restrictions on production; ■■ Changing royalty regimes; ■■ Business interruptions because of unexpected events such as fires or explosions whether caused by human error or nature, severe storms and other calamitous acts of nature, blowouts, freeze-ups, mechanical or equipment failures of facilities and infrastructure and other similar events affecting the Company or other parties whose operations or assets directly or indirectly impact the Company and that may or may not be financially recoverable; ■■ The ability to secure adequate transportation for products which could be affected by pipeline constraints, the construction by third parties of new or expansion of existing pipeline capacity and other factors; ■■ The access to markets for the Company’s products; ■■ The risk of significant interruption or failure of the Company's information technology systems and related data and control systems or a significant breach that could adversely affect the Company's operations; and ■■ Other circumstances affecting revenue and expenses. The Company uses a variety of means to seek to mitigate and/or minimize these risks. The Company maintains a comprehensive property loss and business interruption insurance program to reduce risk. Operational control is enhanced by focusing efforts on large core areas with high working interests and by assuming operatorship of key facilities. Product mix is diversified, consisting of the production of natural gas and the production of crude oil of various grades. The Company believes this diversification reduces price risk when compared with over-leverage to one commodity. Accounts receivable from the sale of crude oil and natural gas are mainly with customers in the crude oil and natural gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. The Company seeks to manage these risks by monitoring exposure to individual customers, contractors, suppliers and joint venture partners on a regular basis and when appropriate, ensuring parental guarantees or letters of credit are in place, and as applicable, taking other mitigating actions to minimize the impact in the event of a default. Derivative financial instruments are periodically utilized to help ensure targets are met and to manage commodity price, foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company is exposed to possible losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments; however, the Company seeks to manage this credit risk by entering into agreements with counterparties that are substantially all investment grade financial institutions. The arrangements and policies concerning the Company’s financial instruments are under constant review and may change depending upon the prevailing market conditions. The Company has implemented cyber security protocols and procedures designed to reduce the risk of failure or a significant breach of the Company’s information technology systems and related data and control systems. The Company’s capital structure mix is also monitored on a continual basis to ensure that it optimizes flexibility, minimizes cost and offers the greatest opportunity for growth. This includes the determination of a reasonable level of debt and any interest rate exposure risk that may exist. For additional details regarding the Company’s risks and uncertainties, refer to the Company’s AIF for the year ended December 31, 2018. Environment The Company continues to invest in people, technologies, facilities and infrastructure to recover and process crude oil and natural gas resources efficiently and in an environmentally sustainable manner. Environmental, social, economic and health considerations are evaluated in new project designs and in operations to improve environmental performance. Processes are employed to avoid, mitigate, minimize or compensate for environmental effects. Working with local communities, the Company considers the values to the people using the land in proximity to operations and adapts projects in recognition of those values. The crude oil and natural gas industry is experiencing incremental increases in costs related to environmental regulation, particularly in North America and the North Sea. Existing and expected legislation and regulations require the Company to address and mitigate the effect of its activities on the environment. The Company believes that it meets all existing environmental standards and regulations and has included appropriate amounts in its capital expenditure budget to continue to meet current environmental protection requirements. Increasingly stringent laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on the Company’s future net earnings. 42 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. The Company’s associated environmental risk management strategies focus on working with legislators and regulators to ensure that any new or revised policies, legislation or regulations properly reflect a balanced approach to sustainable development. Specific measures in response to existing or new legislation include a focus on the Company’s energy efficiency, air emissions management, water management and land management to minimize disturbance impacts. The Company’s environmental risk management strategies employ an Environmental Management Plan (the “Plan”). As part of risk management, the Company develops, assesses and implements technologies and innovative practices that will improve environmental performance, often through collaborative efforts with industry partners, governments and research institutions. Details of the Plan, along with performance results, are presented to, and reviewed by, the Board of Directors quarterly. The Plan and the Company's operating guidelines focus on minimizing the impact of operations while meeting regulatory requirements, regional management frameworks for air, water and biodiversity, industry operating standards and guidelines, and internal corporate standards. Training and due diligence for operators and contractors is key to the effectiveness of the Company’s environmental management programs and the prevention of incidents to protect the environment. The Company, as part of this Plan, has implemented proactive programs that include: ■■ Environmental planning to assess impacts and implement avoidance and mitigation programs in order to preserve high value biodiversity; ■■ Continued evaluation of new technologies to reduce environmental impacts, including support for Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (“COSIA”), Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada (“PTAC”) and other research institutions; ■■ CO2 reduction programs including carbon capture, CO2 injection for EOR, CO2 sequestration in tailings and the Quest carbon capture and storage facility; ■■ A methane emission reduction program, including solution gas conservation to reduce methane venting, and an equipment retrofit program to reduce methane emissions from pneumatic equipment; ■■ Optimization of efficiencies at the Company’s facilities; ■■ Water programs to improve efficiency of use and recycle rates as well as to reduce fresh water use; ■■ An effective reclamation and decommissioning program across the Company’s operations, returning sites to their former state. In North America, well abandonment and progressive reclamation of large contiguous areas of land advances biodiversity and establishes functional wildlife habitats; ■■ Tailings management in Oil Sands Mining to minimize fine tailings and promote reclamation; ■■ Monitoring programs to assess changes to biodiversity, wildlife and fisheries in order to manage construction and operation effects and to assess reclamation success; ■■ Participation and support for the Oil Sands Monitoring Program of regional important resources; ■■ Groundwater monitoring for all thermal in situ and mine operations; ■■ An active spill prevention and management program; and ■■ An internal environmental compliance audit and inspection program of operating facilities. The Company’s asset retirement obligations are expected to be settled on an ongoing basis over a period of approximately 60 years and have been discounted using a weighted average discount rate of 5.0% (2017 – 4.7%; 2016 – 5.2%). For 2018, the Company’s capital expenditures included $290 million for abandonment expenditures (2017 – $274 million; 2016 – $267 million). The Company’s estimated discounted ARO at December 31, 2018 was as follows: ($ millions) Exploration and Production North America North Sea Offshore Africa Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading Midstream 2018 2017 $ 1,665 $ 1,840 707 134 1,379 1 755 245 1,486 1 $ 3,886 $ 4,327 The discounted ARO was based on estimates of future costs to abandon and restore wells, production facilities, mine sites, upgrading facilities and tailings, and offshore production platforms. Factors that affect costs include number of wells drilled, well depth, facility size and the specific environmental legislation. The estimated future costs are based on engineering estimates of current costs in accordance with present legislation, industry operating practice and the expected timing of abandonment. The Company’s strategy in the North Sea consists of developing commercial hubs around its core operated properties with the goal of increasing production and extending the economic lives of its production facilities, thereby delaying the eventual abandonment dates. 43 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

GREENHOUSE GAS AND OTHER AIR EMISSIONS As a result of the Company’s large, diversified and balanced portfolio and its defined pathway to drive long-term emissions reductions through technology and innovation, the Company is well-positioned to be resilient in a lower carbon economy. The Company, through the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, is working with Canadian legislators and regulators as they develop and implement new GHG emission laws and regulations. Internally, the Company is pursuing an integrated emissions reduction strategy, to ensure that it is able to comply with existing and future emissions reduction requirements, for both GHGs and air pollutants (such as sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen). The Company continues to develop strategies that will enable it to deal with the risks and opportunities associated with new GHG and air emissions policies. In addition, the Company is working with relevant parties to ensure that new policies encourage technological innovation, energy efficiency, and targeted research and development while not impacting competitiveness. The Company’s integrated GHG emissions reduction strategy includes: 1) integrating emission reduction in project planning and operations; 2) leveraging technology to create value and enhance performance; 3) investing in research and development and supporting collaboration; 4) focusing on continuous improvement to drive long-term emissions reduction; 5) leading in carbon capture and sequestration/storage; 6) engaging proactively in policy and regulatory development (including trading capacity and offsetting emissions); and, 7) considering and developing new business opportunities and trends. In Canada, the federal government has ratified the Paris climate change agreement, with a commitment to reduce GHG emissions by 30% from 2005 levels by 2030. Canada has also committed to reduce methane emissions from the upstream oil and gas sector by 40 - 45% by 2025, as compared to 2012 levels. The federal government is also developing a comprehensive management system for air pollutants and has released regulations pertaining to certain boilers, heaters and compressor engines operated by the Company. The federal government is also developing a Clean Fuel Standard which may affect production and consumption of fuels in Canada. Effective January 1, 2018, the Alberta government implemented the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation (CCIR) to replace the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, for the regulation of GHG emissions from large facilities. The Alberta government has also finalized regulations to reduce methane emissions from the upstream oil and gas sector (consistent with the federal reduction target), with the first regulatory requirements coming into effect January 1, 2020. A previously announced carbon price on combustion emissions from the upstream oil and gas sector is scheduled to begin in 2023. In British Columbia, the provincial government has announced a methane reduction target, comparable to the federal target, and has released final regulations to achieve this target. The Saskatchewan government has also released a regulation to reduce methane emissions from oil production facilities, effective 2020. In Alberta, GHG reduction regulations came into effect July 1, 2007, affecting facilities emitting more than 100 kilotonnes of CO2e annually, and those facilities that elect to “opt-in” to the regulation. The carbon price in Alberta is currently $30/tonne for emissions above the regulated limits. Eight of the Company’s operated facilities (the facilities at Horizon and AOSP, the Primrose/Wolf Lake in situ heavy crude oil facilities, the Kirby South in situ heavy crude oil facility, the Peace River in situ heavy crude oil facility, the Hays sour natural gas plant, the Wapiti gas plant, and the Brintnell power generation facility) are subject to compliance under the regulation. The non-operated Scotford Upgrader is also subject to compliance under the regulations. The non-operated North West Redwater bitumen upgrader and refinery became subject to a reduction target on January 1, 2019. In British Columbia, carbon tax is currently being assessed at $35/tonne of CO2e on fuel consumed and gas flared in the province, with the rate increasing to $40/tonne on April 1, 2019. The British Columbia Government will be increasing the carbon tax at a rate of $5 per tonne of CO2e annually to $50 per tonne of CO2e on April 1, 2021. The British Columbia government is implementing a program (the CleanBC Plan) to partially mitigate the impact of the carbon tax increases on emission intensive trade exposed (EITE) sectors. The Saskatchewan government has released a regulation that applies to facilities emitting more than 25 kilotonnes of CO2e annually and will require the North Tangleflags in situ heavy oil facility and the Senlac in situ heavy oil facility to meet reduction targets for GHG emissions effective 2019. The government of Canada has determined that a federal “backstop” carbon pricing system will apply beginning in 2019 in specific provinces and territories within Canada, including the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba in which the Company operates. The federal backstop system will consist of an output-based pricing system for facilities that emit more than 25 kilotonnes CO2e annually, and a fuel charge that applies to facilities with emissions below this level. In the UK, GHG regulations have been in effect since 2005. In Phase 1 (2005 – 2007) of the UK National Allocation Plan, the Company operated below its CO2 allocation. In Phase 2 (2008 – 2012) the Company’s CO2 allocation was decreased below the Company’s operations emissions. In Phase 3 (2013 – 2020) the Company’s CO2 allocation was further reduced. The Company continues to focus on implementing reduction programs based on efficiency audits to reduce CO2 emissions at its offshore facilities and on trading mechanisms to ensure compliance with requirements now in effect. Air pollutant standards and guidelines are being developed federally and provincially and the Company is participating in these discussions. Ambient air quality and sector based reductions in air emissions are being reviewed. Through Company and industry participation with stakeholders, guidelines are being developed that adopt a structured process to emission reductions that is commensurate with technological development and operational requirements. 44 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

Accounting Policies and Standards CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to provide guidance on the recognition of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers, and related disclosures. The new standard replaces several existing standards related to recognition of revenue and states that revenue should be recognized as performance obligations related to the goods or services delivered are settled. IFRS 15 also provides revenue accounting guidance for contract modifications and multiple-element contracts and prescribes additional disclosure requirements. The Company adopted IFRS 15 on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective with cumulative effect method. There were no changes to reported net earnings (loss) or retained earnings as a result of adopting IFRS 15. Under the standard, the Company is required to provide additional disclosure of disaggregated revenue by major product type. In connection with adoption of the standard, the Company has reclassified certain comparative amounts in a manner consistent with the presentation adopted for the year ended December 31, 2018. For details refer to note 2 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2018. Upon adoption of IFRS 15, the Company applied the practical expedient such that contracts that were completed in the comparative periods have not been restated. Applying this expedient had no impact to the revenue recognized under the previous revenue accounting standard as all performance obligations had been met and the consideration had been determined. IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the version of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” issued November 2013. In July 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 to include accounting guidance to assess and recognize impairment losses on financial assets based on an expected loss model. The Company retrospectively adopted the amendments to IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018 and elected to apply the limited exemption in IFRS 9 relating to transition for impairment. Accordingly, provisions for impairment have not been restated in the comparative periods. Adoption of the amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company’s previous accounting for impairment of financial assets. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET APPLIED In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” that narrowed and clarified the definition of a business. The amendments also permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a group of assets rather than a business. The amendments are effective January 1, 2020 with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments apply to business combinations after the date of adoption. The Company is assessing the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”. The amendments make minor changes to the definition of the term "material" and align the definition across all IFRS Standards. Materiality is used in making judgments related to the preparation of financial statements. The amendments are effective January 1, 2020 with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2017, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" to clarify that the impairment provisions in IFRS 9 apply to financial instruments in an associate or joint venture that are not accounted for using the equity method, including long-term assets that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture. The amendments are effective January 1, 2019 with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be adopted retrospectively. The Company has determined that these amendments have no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments". The interpretation provides guidance on how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes where IAS 12 is unclear. The interpretation is effective January 1, 2019. The Company has determined that this interpretation has no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. 45 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. IFRS 16 "Leases" In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 “Leases”, which provides guidance on accounting for leases. The new standard replaces IAS 17 “Leases” and related interpretations. IFRS 16 eliminates the distinction between operating leases and financing leases for lessees and requires balance sheet recognition for all leases. Certain short-term (less than 12 months) and low-value leases (as defined in the standard) are exempt from the requirements, and may continue to be treated as an expense. Leases to explore for or use crude oil, natural gas, minerals and similar non-regenerative resources are exempt from the standard. The Company will adopt IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 using the retrospective with cumulative effect method with no impact to opening retained earnings at the date of adoption. In accordance with the transitional provisions in the standard, balances reported in the comparative periods will not be restated. On initial adoption, the Company intends to use the following practical expedients under the standard. Certain expedients are on a lease-by-lease basis and others are applicable by class of underlying assets: ■■ ■■ the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; leases with a remaining lease term of less than twelve months as at January 1, 2019 will be treated as short- term leases; and ■■ exclusion of indirect costs for the measurement of lease assets at the date of initial application. The Company does not intend to apply any practical expedients pertaining to grandfathering of leases assessed under the previous standard. On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company will recognize lease assets and liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s applicable borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. The Company expects to report additional lease assets and corresponding liabilities of between $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion. The Company continues to finalize its accounting for leases in accordance with IFRS 16, and the above estimates are subject to change based on finalization of the Company's review of its lease arrangements. In the statement of earnings, depletion, depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense will increase, with corresponding decreases in production, transportation and administration expenses. The Company does not expect to report a material impact on net earnings. Under the new standard, the Company will report cash outflows for repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability as cash flows from financing activities. The interest portion of the lease payments will continue to be classified as cash flows from operating activities. Where the Company, acting as the operator, signs a lease on behalf of a joint operation and assumes the legal liability for that lease, the Company will recognize 100% of the related lease asset and lease liability. As the Company recovers its joint operation partners' share of the costs of the lease contract, these recoveries will be recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. The Company continues to finalize its evaluation of its contracts that are potentially leases under IFRS 16, as well as implementing changes to policies, internal controls, information systems, and business accounting processes. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgements in the application of IFRS that have a significant impact on the financial results of the Company. Actual results may differ from estimated amounts, and those differences may be material. A comprehensive discussion of the Company's significant accounting estimates is contained in this MD&A and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. A) Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization and Impairment Exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) costs relating to activities to explore and evaluate crude oil and natural gas properties are initially capitalized and include costs directly associated with the acquisition of licenses, technical services and studies, seismic acquisition, exploration drilling and evaluation, overhead and administration expenses, and the estimate of any asset retirement costs. E&E assets are carried forward until technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource is determined. Technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource is considered to be determined when an assessment of proved reserves is made. The judgements associated with the estimation of proved reserves are described below in “Crude Oil and Natural Gas Reserves”. An alternative acceptable accounting method for E&E costs under IFRS 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources” is to charge exploratory dry holes and geological and geophysical exploration costs incurred after having obtained the legal rights to explore an area against net earnings in the period incurred rather than capitalizing to E&E assets. 46 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. E&E assets are tested for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of E&E assets may exceed their recoverable amount, by comparing the relevant costs to the fair value of related Cash Generating Units (“CGUs”), aggregated at a segment level. Indications of impairment include leases approaching expiry, the existence of low benchmark commodity prices for an extended period of time, significant downward revisions in estimated probable reserves volumes, significant increases in estimated future exploration or development expenditures, or significant adverse changes in the applicable legislative or regulatory frameworks. The determination of the fair value of CGUs requires the use of assumptions and estimates including future commodity prices, expected production volumes, quantity of reserves, asset retirement obligations, future development and production costs, discount rates and income taxes. Changes in assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount could affect the carrying value of the related assets and CGUs. Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and impairment provisions. Crude oil and natural gas properties in the Exploration and Production segments are depleted using the unit-of-production method over proved reserves, except for major components, which are depreciated using a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The unit-of-production depletion rate takes into account expenditures incurred to date, together with future estimated development expenditures required to develop proved reserves. Estimates of proved reserves have a significant impact on net earnings, as they are a key input to the calculation of depletion expense. The Company assesses property, plant and equipment for impairment discounted at rates currently ranging from 10% to 12% whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Indications of impairment include the existence of low commodity prices for an extended period, significant downward revisions of estimated reserves volumes, significant increases in estimated future development expenditures, or significant adverse changes in the applicable legislative or regulatory frameworks. If an indication of impairment exists, the Company performs an impairment test related to the specific assets at the CGU level. B) Crude Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Reserves estimates are based on engineering data, estimated future prices and production costs, expected future rates of production, and the timing and amount of future development expenditures, all of which are subject to many uncertainties, interpretations and judgements. The Company expects that, over time, its reserves estimates will be revised upward or downward based on updated information. Reserves estimates can have a significant impact on net earnings, as they are a key component in the calculation of depletion, depreciation and amortization and for determining potential asset impairment. For example, a revision to the proved reserves estimates would result in a higher or lower depletion, depreciation and amortization charge to net earnings. Downward revisions to reserves estimates may also result in an impairment of E&E and property, plant and equipment carrying amounts. C) Asset Retirement Obligations The Company is required to recognize a liability for ARO associated with its property, plant and equipment. An ARO liability associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset is recognized to the extent of a legal obligation resulting from an existing or enacted law, statute, ordinance or written or oral contract, or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. The ARO is based on estimated costs, taking into account the anticipated method and extent of restoration consistent with legal requirements, technological advances and the possible use of the site. Since these estimates are specific to the sites involved, there are many individual assumptions underlying the Company’s total ARO amount. These individual assumptions may be subject to change. The estimated present values of ARO related to long-term assets are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are incurred. The provision for the ARO is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows to settle the ARO at the Company’s weighted average credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate, which is currently 5.0%. Subsequent to initial measurement, the ARO is adjusted to reflect the passage of time, changes in credit adjusted interest rates, and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as asset retirement obligation accretion expense whereas changes in discount rates or estimated future cash flows are capitalized to or derecognized from property, plant and equipment. Changes in estimates would impact accretion and depletion expense in net earnings. In addition, differences between actual and estimated costs to settle the ARO, timing of cash flows to settle the obligation and future inflation rates may result in gains or losses on the final settlement of the ARO. D) Income Taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the estimated income tax effects of temporary differences in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases, using income tax rates substantively enacted as at the date of the balance sheet. Accounting for income taxes requires the Company to interpret frequently changing laws and regulations, including changing income tax rates, and make certain judgements with respect to the application of tax law, estimating the timing of temporary difference reversals, and estimating the realizability of tax assets. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes a liability for a tax filing position based on its assessment of the probability that additional taxes may ultimately be due. 47 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. E) Risk Management Activities The Company periodically uses derivative financial instruments to manage its commodity price, foreign currency and interest rate exposures. These financial instruments are entered into solely for hedging purposes and are not used for speculative purposes. All derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments has been determined based on appropriate internal valuation methodologies and/or third party indications. Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of future cash flows, discount rates and credit risk. In determining these assumptions, the Company primarily relied on external, readily-observable quoted market inputs including crude oil and natural gas forward benchmark commodity prices and volatility, Canadian and United States forward interest rate yield curves, and Canadian and United States foreign exchange rates, discounted to present value as appropriate. The carrying amount of a risk management liability is adjusted for the Company’s own credit risk. The resulting fair value estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction and these differences may be material. F) Purchase Price Allocations Purchase prices related to business combinations are allocated to the underlying acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the time of acquisition. The determination of fair value requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgements regarding future events. The allocation process is inherently subjective and impacts the amounts assigned to individually identifiable assets and liabilities, including the fair value of crude oil and natural gas properties, together with deferred income tax effects. As a result, the purchase price allocation impacts the Company’s reported assets and liabilities and future net earnings due to the impact on future depletion, depreciation and amortization expense and impairment tests. The Company has made various assumptions in determining the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities. The most significant assumptions and judgements relate to the estimation of the fair value of crude oil and natural gas properties. To determine the fair value of these properties, the Company estimates crude oil and natural gas reserves. Reserves estimates are based on the work performed by the Company’s internal engineers and outside consultants. The judgements associated with these estimated reserves are described above in “Crude Oil and Natural Gas Reserves”. Estimates of future prices are based on prices derived from price forecasts among industry analysts and internal assessments. The Company applies estimated future prices to the estimated reserves quantities acquired, and estimates future operating and development costs, to arrive at estimated future net revenues for the properties acquired. G) Share-Based Compensation The Company has made various assumptions in estimating the fair values of stock options granted including expected volatility, expected exercise behavior and future forfeiture rates. At each period end, stock options outstanding are remeasured for changes in the fair value of the liability. 48 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. Control Environment The Company’s management, including the President and the Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice-President, Finance, evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as at December 31, 2018, and concluded that disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings and other reports filed with securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Company’s management, including the President and the Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice-President, Finance, also evaluated the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2018, and concluded that internal control over financial reporting is effective. Further, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting. While the Company’s management believes that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting provide a reasonable level of assurance they are effective, they recognize that all control systems have inherent limitations. Because of its inherent limitations, the Company’s control systems may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Outlook The Company continues to implement its strategy of maintaining a large portfolio of varied projects, which the Company believes will enable it, over an extended period of time, to provide consistent growth in production and create shareholder value. Annual budgets are developed, scrutinized throughout the year and revised if necessary in the context of targeted financial ratios, project returns, product pricing expectations, and balance in project risk and time horizons. The Company maintains a high ownership level and operatorship level in all of its properties and can therefore control the nature, timing and extent of capital expenditures in each of its project areas. Capital expenditures in 2019 are currently targeted to be as follows: ($ millions) Exploration and Production North America natural gas and NGLs North America crude oil International crude oil Thermal In Situ Oil Sands Net acquisitions, midstream and other Total Exploration and Production Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading Strategic, project development, environment and technology Sustaining capital Turnarounds, reclamation and other Total Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading Total Capital Expenditures $ 2019 365 775 460 545 30 $ 2,175 505 780 240 $ $ 1,525 3,700 49 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management of Canadian Natural Resources Limited (the "Company") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Management, including the Company’s President and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice-President, Finance, performed an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as at December 31, 2018. Management recognizes that all internal control systems have inherent limitations. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Professional Accountants, has provided an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2018, as stated in their accompanying Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Canadian Natural Resources Limited OPINIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Canadian Natural Resources Limited and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of earnings (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. BASIS FOR OPINIONS The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Assessment of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. 56 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. DEFINITION AND LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (tabular amounts in millions of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated) 1. Accounting Policies Canadian Natural Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a senior independent crude oil and natural gas exploration, development and production company. The Company’s exploration and production operations are focused in North America, largely in Western Canada; the United Kingdom (“UK”) portion of the North Sea; and Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, and South Africa in Offshore Africa. The "Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading" segment produces synthetic crude oil through bitumen mining and upgrading operations at Horizon Oil Sands ("Horizon") and through the Company's direct and indirect interest in AOSP. Within Western Canada, the Company maintains certain midstream activities that include pipeline operations, an electricity co-generation system and an investment in the North West Redwater Partnership ("Redwater Partnership"), a general partnership formed in the Province of Alberta. The Company was incorporated in Alberta, Canada. The address of its registered office is 2100, 855 – 2 Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies adopted by the Company under IFRS are set out below. The Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented, except where IFRS permits new accounting standards to be adopted prospectively. Changes in the Company's accounting policies are discussed in note 2. (A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, unless otherwise required. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiary companies and wholly owned partnerships. Subsidiaries include all entities over which the Company has control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Certain of the Company’s activities are conducted through joint arrangements in which two or more parties have joint control. Where the Company has determined that it has a direct ownership interest in jointly controlled assets and obligations for the liabilities (a “joint operation”), the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses related to the joint operation are included in the consolidated financial statements in proportion to the Company’s interest. Where the Company has determined that it has an interest in jointly controlled entities (a “joint venture”), it uses the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s initial and subsequent investments are recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of the joint venture’s income or loss, less distributions received. Joint ventures accounted for using the equity method of accounting are tested for impairment whenever objective evidence indicates that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Indications of impairment include a history of losses, significant capital expenditure overruns, liquidity concerns, financial restructuring of the investee or significant adverse changes in the technological, economic or legal environment. The amount of the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. (B) SEGMENTED INFORMATION Operating segments have been determined based on the nature of the Company’s activities and the geographic locations in which the Company operates, and are consistent with the level of information regularly provided to and reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision makers. (C) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Other investments (term deposits and certificates of deposit) with an original term to maturity at purchase of three months or less are reported as cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. 62 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. INVENTORY (D) Inventory is primarily comprised of product inventory and materials and supplies and is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Product inventory is comprised of crude oil held for sale, including pipeline linefill and crude oil stored in floating production, storage and offloading vessels. Cost of product inventory consists of purchase costs, direct production costs, directly attributable overhead and depletion, depreciation and amortization and is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Net realizable value for product inventory is determined by reference to forward prices. Cost for materials and supplies consists of purchase costs and is based on a first-in, first-out or an average cost basis. Net realizable value for materials and supplies is determined by reference to current market prices. (E) EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS Exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets consist of the Company’s crude oil and natural gas exploration projects that are pending the determination of proved reserves. E&E costs are initially capitalized and include costs directly associated with the acquisition of licenses, technical services and studies, seismic acquisition, exploration drilling and evaluation, overhead and administration expenses, and the estimate of any asset retirement costs. E&E costs do not include general prospecting or evaluation costs incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area. These costs are recognized in net earnings. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of E&E assets are determined and a development decision is made by management, the E&E assets are tested for impairment upon reclassification to property, plant and equipment. The technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource is considered to be determined when an assessment of proved reserves is made. An E&E asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is recognized in net earnings within depletion, depreciation and amortization. E&E assets are also tested for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of E&E assets may exceed their recoverable amount, by comparing the relevant costs to the fair value of the related Cash Generating Units (“CGUs”), aggregated at a segment level. Indications of impairment include leases approaching expiry, the existence of low benchmark commodity prices for an extended period of time, significant downward revisions in estimated probable reserves volumes, significant increases in estimated future exploration or development expenditures, or significant adverse changes in the applicable legislative or regulatory frameworks. (F) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and impairment provisions. Assets under construction are not depleted or depreciated until available for their intended use. The capitalized value of a finance lease is included in property, plant and equipment. Exploration and Production The cost of an asset comprises its acquisition costs, construction and development costs, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation, the estimate of any asset retirement costs, and applicable borrowing costs. Property acquisition costs are comprised of the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. When significant components of an item of property, plant and equipment, including crude oil and natural gas interests, have different useful lives, they are accounted for separately. Crude oil and natural gas properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method over proved reserves, except for major components, which are depreciated using a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The unit-of-production depletion rate takes into account expenditures incurred to date, together with future development expenditures required to develop proved reserves. Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading Capitalized costs for the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment are reported separately from the Company’s North America Exploration and Production segment. Capitalized costs include acquisition costs, construction and development costs, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation, the estimate of any asset retirement costs, and applicable borrowing costs. Mine-related costs are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Costs of the upgraders and related infrastructure located on the Horizon and AOSP sites are depreciated on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated productive capacity of the respective upgraders and related infrastructure. Other equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life ranging from 2 to 18 years. 63 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. Midstream and Head Office The Company capitalizes all costs that expand the capacity or extend the useful life of the midstream and head office assets. Midstream assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years. Head office assets are depreciated on a declining balance basis. Useful lives The depletion rates and expected useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis, with changes in depletion rates and useful lives accounted for prospectively. Derecognition A property, plant and equipment asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognized in net earnings within depletion, depreciation and amortization. Major maintenance expenditures Inspection costs associated with major maintenance turnarounds are capitalized and depreciated over the period to the next major maintenance turnaround. All other maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Impairment The Company assesses property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Indications of impairment include the existence of low benchmark commodity prices for an extended period of time, significant downward revisions of estimated reserves volumes, significant increases in estimated future development expenditures, or significant adverse changes in the applicable legislative or regulatory frameworks. If an indication of impairment exists, the Company performs an impairment test related to the assets. Individual assets are grouped for impairment assessment purposes into CGUs, which are the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other groups of assets. A CGU's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Where the carrying amount of a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount through depletion, depreciation and amortization expense. In subsequent periods, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is re-estimated and the net carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount. The revised recoverable amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depletion, depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of impairment is recognized in net earnings. After a reversal, the depletion, depreciation and amortization charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount over its remaining useful life. (G) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Any excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recognized as an asset. Any excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the consideration paid is recognized in net earnings. (H) OVERBURDEN REMOVAL COSTS Overburden removal costs incurred during the initial development of a mine at Horizon and AOSP are capitalized to property, plant and equipment. Overburden removal costs incurred during the production of a mine are included in the cost of inventory, unless the overburden removal activity has resulted in a probable inflow of future economic benefits to the Company, in which case the costs are capitalized to property, plant and equipment. Capitalized overburden removal costs are depleted over the life of the mining reserves that directly benefit from the overburden removal activity. (I) CAPITALIZED BORROWING COSTS Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially available for their intended use. Qualifying assets are comprised of those significant assets that require a period greater than one year to be available for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized in net earnings. 64 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. (J) LEASES Finance leases, which transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item to the Company, are capitalized at the commencement of the lease term at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognized in net earnings over the lease term. The Company adopted IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 (see note 3). (K) ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS The Company provides for asset retirement obligations on all of its property, plant and equipment and certain exploration and evaluation assets based on current legislation and industry operating practices. Provisions for asset retirement obligations related to property, plant and equipment are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are incurred. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of expenditures required to settle the obligation as at the date of the balance sheets. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the obligation is adjusted to reflect the passage of time, changes in credit adjusted interest rates, and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as asset retirement obligation accretion expense whereas changes due to discount rates or estimated future cash flows are capitalized to or derecognized from property, plant and equipment. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the asset retirement obligation are charged against the provision. (L) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary companies and partnerships are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from that of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheets, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average rate for the period. Cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Company disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control, or significant influence over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the foreign operation are recognized in net earnings. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries and partnerships using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at balance sheet date exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in net earnings. (M) REVENUE RECOGNITION AND COSTS OF GOODS SOLD Revenue from the sale of crude oil and NGLs and natural gas products is recognized when performance obligations in the sales contract are satisfied and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled. Performance obligations are generally satisfied at the point in time when the product is delivered to a location specified in a contract and control passes to the customer. The Company assesses customer creditworthiness, both before entering into contracts and throughout the revenue recognition process. Contracts for sale of the Company’s products generally have terms of less than a year, with certain contracts extending beyond one year. Contracts in North America generally specify delivery of crude oil and NGLs and natural gas throughout the term of the contract. Contracts in the North Sea and Offshore Africa generally specify delivery of crude oil at a point in time. Sales of the Company’s crude oil and NGLs and natural gas products to customers are made pursuant to contracts based on prevailing commodity pricing at or near the time of delivery and volumes of product delivered. Revenues are typically collected in the month following delivery and accordingly, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to not adjust consideration for the effects of a financing component. Purchases and sales of crude oil and NGLs and natural gas with the same counterparty, made to facilitate sales to customers or potential customers, that are entered into in contemplation of one another, are combined and recorded as non-monetary exchanges and measured at the net settlement amount. Revenue in the consolidated statement of earnings represents the Company’s share of product sales net of royalty payments to governments and other mineral interest owners. The Company discloses the disaggregation of revenues from sales of crude oil and NGLs and natural gas in the segmented information in note 22. Related costs of goods sold are comprised of production, transportation, blending and feedstock, and depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses. These amounts have been separately presented in the consolidated statements of earnings. 65 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. The Company continues to report revenue for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with the Company's previous accounting policy for revenue and cost of goods sold as follows: Revenue from the sale of crude oil and natural gas is recognized when title passes to the customer, delivery has taken place and collection is reasonably assured. The Company assesses customer creditworthiness, both before entering into contracts and throughout the revenue recognition process. (N) PRODUCTION SHARING CONTRACTS Production generated from Côte d’Ivoire and Gabon in Offshore Africa is shared under the terms of various Production Sharing Contracts (“PSCs”). Product sales are divided into cost recovery oil and profit oil. Cost recovery oil allows the Company to recover its capital and production costs and the costs carried by the Company on behalf of the respective government state oil companies (the “Governments”). Profit oil is allocated to the joint venture partners in accordance with their respective equity interests, after a portion has been allocated to the Governments. The Governments’ share of profit oil attributable to the Company’s equity interest is allocated to royalty expense and current income tax expense in accordance with the terms of the respective PSCs. (O) INCOME TAX The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the estimated income tax effects of temporary differences in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the substantively enacted income tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset or liability is recovered. Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are not recognized when they arise on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction (other than in a business combination) that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are also not recognized on possible future distributions of retained earnings of subsidiaries where the timing of the distribution can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that a distribution will not be made in the foreseeable future, or when distributions can be made without incurring income taxes. Deferred income tax assets for deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences or tax loss carryforwards can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date, and is reduced if it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences or tax loss carryforwards can be utilized. Current income tax is calculated based on net earnings for the period, adjusted for items that are non-taxable or taxed in different periods, using income tax rates that are substantively enacted at each reporting date. Income taxes are recognized in net earnings or other comprehensive income, consistent with the items to which they relate. (P) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) provides current employees with the right to elect to receive common shares or a cash payment in exchange for stock options surrendered. The liability for awards granted to employees is initially measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards and the number of awards expected to vest. The awards are re-measured each reporting period for subsequent changes in the fair value of the liability. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model under a graded vesting method. Expected volatility is estimated based on historic results. When stock options are surrendered for cash, the cash settlement paid reduces the outstanding liability. When stock options are exercised for common shares under the Option Plan, consideration paid by the employee and any previously recognized liability associated with the stock options are recorded as share capital. The Company grants Performance Share Units ("PSUs") to certain executive employees. The PSUs are subject to certain performance conditions and vest three years from original grant date. The unamortized costs of employer contributions to the Company’s share bonus program are included in other long-term assets. (Q) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company classifies its financial instruments into one of the following categories: financial assets at amortized cost; financial liabilities at amortized cost; and fair value through profit or loss. All financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods is dependent on the classification of the respective financial instrument. Fair value through profit or loss financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings. All other categories of financial instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 66 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and certain other long-term assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost since it is the Company’s intention to hold these assets to maturity and the related cash flows are solely comprised of payments of principal and interest. Investments in publicly traded shares are classified as fair value through profit or loss. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, certain other long-term liabilities, and long-term debt are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Risk management assets and liabilities are classified as fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets and liabilities are also categorized using a three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making fair value measurements for these assets and liabilities. The fair values of financial assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities in Level 2 are based on inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). The fair values of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities are not based on observable market data. The disclosure of the fair value hierarchy excludes financial assets and liabilities where book value approximates fair value due to the liquid nature of the asset or liability. Transaction costs in respect of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in net earnings. Transaction costs in respect of other financial instruments are included in the initial measurement of the financial instrument. Impairment of financial assets At each reporting date, on a forward looking basis, the Company assesses the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost. Expected credit losses are measured as the difference between the cash flows that are due to the Company and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition. For trade accounts receivable, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime credit losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. To measure expected credit losses, accounts receivable are grouped based on the number of days the receivables have been outstanding and internal credit assessments of the customers. Credit risk for longer-term receivables is assessed based on an external credit rating of the counterparty. For longer-term receivables with credit risk that has not increased significantly since the date of recognition, the Company measures the expected credit loss as the 12-month expected credit loss. Changes in the provision for expected credit loss are recognized in net earnings. The Company continues to report impairment of financial assets for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with the Company's previous accounting policy for impairment of financial assets as follows: At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. If such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are calculated as the difference between the amortized cost of the financial asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. (R) RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES The Company periodically uses derivative financial instruments to manage its commodity price, foreign currency and interest rate exposures. These financial instruments are entered into solely for hedging purposes and are not used for speculative purposes. All derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments has been determined based on appropriate internal valuation methodologies and/or third party indications. Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of future cash flows, discount rates and credit risk. In determining these assumptions, the Company primarily relied on external, readily-observable market inputs including quoted commodity prices and volatility, interest rate yield curves, and foreign exchange rates. The carrying amount of a risk management liability is adjusted for the Company’s own credit risk. The Company documents all derivative financial instruments that are formally designated as hedging transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship, in accordance with the Company’s risk management policies. The effectiveness of the hedging relationship is evaluated, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis. The Company periodically enters into commodity price contracts to manage anticipated sales and purchases of crude oil and natural gas in order to protect its cash flow for its capital expenditure programs. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative commodity price contracts formally designated as cash flow hedges is initially recognized in other comprehensive income and is reclassified to risk management activities in net earnings in the same period or periods in which the commodity is sold or purchased. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of these designated contracts is recognized in risk management activities in net earnings. All changes in the fair value of non-designated crude oil and natural gas commodity price contracts are recognized in risk management activities in net earnings. 67 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. The Company periodically enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage its fixed to floating interest rate mix on certain of its long-term debt. The interest rate swap contracts require the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange of the notional principal amounts on which the payments are based. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value hedges and corresponding changes in the fair value of the hedged long-term debt are recognized in interest expense in net earnings. Changes in the fair value of non-designated interest rate swap contracts are recognized in risk management activities in net earnings. Upon termination of an interest rate swap designated as a fair value hedge, the interest rate swap is derecognized in the consolidated balance sheets and the related long-term debt hedged is no longer revalued for subsequent changes in fair value due to interest rates changes. The fair value adjustment due to interest rates on the long-term debt at the date of termination of the interest rate swap is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the long-term debt. Cross currency swap contracts are periodically used to manage currency exposure on US dollar denominated long-term debt. The cross currency swap contracts require the periodic exchange of payments with the exchange at maturity of notional principal amounts on which the payments are based. Changes in the fair value of the foreign exchange component of cross currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges related to the notional principal amounts are recognized in foreign exchange gains and losses in net earnings. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the interest rate component of cross currency swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges is initially recognized in other comprehensive income and is reclassified to interest expense when the hedged item is recognized in net earnings, with the ineffective portion recognized in risk management activities in net earnings. Changes in the fair value of non-designated cross currency swap contracts are recognized in risk management activities in net earnings. Realized gains or losses on the termination of financial instruments that have been designated as cash flow hedges are deferred under accumulated other comprehensive income and amortized into net earnings in the periods in which the underlying hedged items are recognized. In the event a designated hedged item is sold, extinguished or matures prior to the termination of the related derivative instrument, any unrealized derivative gain or loss is recognized in net earnings. Realized gains or losses on the termination of financial instruments that have not been designated as hedges are recognized in net earnings. Foreign currency forward contracts are periodically used to manage foreign currency cash requirements. The foreign currency forward contracts involve the purchase or sale of an agreed upon amount of US dollars at a specified future date at forward exchange rates. Changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and are reclassified to foreign exchange gains and losses when the hedged item is recognized in net earnings. Changes in the fair value of non-designated foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in risk management activities in net earnings. Embedded derivatives are derivatives that are included in a non-derivative host contract. Embedded derivatives are recorded at fair value separately from the host contract when their economic characteristics and risks are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, except when the host contract is an asset. (S) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is comprised of the Company’s net earnings and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges and foreign currency translation gains and losses arising from the net investment in foreign operations that do not have a Canadian dollar functional currency. Other comprehensive income is shown net of related income taxes. (T) PER COMMON SHARE AMOUNTS The Company calculates basic earnings per common share by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As the Company’s Option Plan allows for the settlement of stock options in either cash or shares at the option of the holder, diluted earnings per common share is calculated using the more dilutive of cash settlement or share settlement under the treasury stock method. (U) SHARE CAPITAL Common shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are included in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of tax. When the Company acquires its own common shares, share capital is reduced by the average carrying value of the shares purchased. The excess of the purchase price over the average carrying value is recognized as a reduction of retained earnings. Shares are cancelled upon purchase. (V) DIVIDENDS Dividends on common shares are recognized in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. 68 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. 2. Changes in Accounting Policies IFRS 15 "REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS" In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to provide guidance on the recognition of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers, and related disclosures. The new standard replaces several existing standards related to recognition of revenue and states that revenue should be recognized as performance obligations related to the goods or services delivered are settled. IFRS 15 also provides revenue accounting guidance for contract modifications and multiple-element contracts and prescribes additional disclosure requirements. The Company adopted IFRS 15 on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective with cumulative effect method. There were no changes to reported net earnings or retained earnings as a result of adopting IFRS 15. Under the standard, the Company is required to provide additional disclosure of disaggregated revenue by major product type. In connection with adoption of the standard, the Company has reclassified certain comparative amounts in a manner consistent with the presentation adopted for the year ended December 31, 2018 (see note 22). Upon adoption of IFRS 15, the Company applied the practical expedient such that contracts that were completed in the comparative periods have not been restated. Applying this expedient had no impact to the revenue recognized under the previous revenue accounting standard as all performance obligations had been met and the consideration had been determined. IFRS 9 "FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS" Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the version of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” issued November 2013. In July 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 to include accounting guidance to assess and recognize impairment losses on financial assets based on an expected loss model. The Company retrospectively adopted the amendments to IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018 and elected to apply the limited exemption in IFRS 9 relating to transition for impairment. Accordingly, provisions for impairment have not been restated in the comparative periods. Adoption of the amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company’s previous accounting for impairment of financial assets. 3. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Applied In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 "Definition of a Business" that narrowed and clarified the definition of a business. The amendments also permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a group of assets rather than a business. The amendments are effective January 1, 2020 with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments apply to business combinations after the date of adoption. The Company is assessing the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors". The amendments make minor changes to the definition of the term "material" and align the definition across all IFRS Standards. Materiality is used in making judgments related to the preparation of financial statements. The amendments are effective January 1, 2020 with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2017, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" to clarify that the impairment provisions in IFRS 9 apply to financial instruments in an associate or joint venture that are not accounted for using the equity method, including long-term assets that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture. The amendments are effective January 1, 2019 with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be adopted retrospectively. The Company has determined that these amendments have no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments". The interpretation provides guidance on how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes where IAS 12 is unclear. The interpretation is effective January 1, 2019. The Company has determined that this interpretation has no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. IFRS 16 "LEASES" In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 “Leases”, which provides guidance on accounting for leases. The new standard replaces IAS 17 “Leases” and related interpretations. IFRS 16 eliminates the distinction between operating leases and financing leases for lessees and requires balance sheet recognition for all leases. Certain short-term (less than 12 months) and low-value leases (as defined in the standard) are exempt from the requirements, and may continue to be treated as an expense. Leases to explore for or use crude oil, natural gas, minerals and similar non-regenerative resources are exempt from the standard. 69 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. The Company will adopt IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 using the retrospective with cumulative effect method with no impact to opening retained earnings at the date of adoption. In accordance with the transitional provisions in the standard, balances reported in the comparative periods will not be restated. On initial adoption, the Company intends to use the following practical expedients under the standard. Certain expedients are on a lease-by-lease basis and others are applicable by class of underlying assets: ■■ ■■ the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; leases with a remaining lease term of less than twelve months as at January 1, 2019 will be treated as short-term leases; and ■■ exclusion of indirect costs for the measurement of lease assets at the date of initial application. The Company does not intend to apply any practical expedients pertaining to grandfathering of leases assessed under the previous standard. On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company will recognize lease assets and liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s applicable borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. The Company expects to report additional lease assets and corresponding liabilities of between $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion. The Company continues to finalize its accounting for leases in accordance with IFRS 16, and the above estimates are subject to change based on finalization of the Company's review of its lease arrangements. In the statement of earnings, depletion, depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense will increase, with corresponding decreases in production, transportation and administration expenses. The Company does not expect to report a material impact on net earnings. Under the new standard, the Company will report cash outflows for repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability as cash flows from financing activities. The interest portion of the lease payments will continue to be classified as cash flows from operating activities. Where the Company, acting as the operator, signs a lease on behalf of a joint operation and assumes the legal liability for that lease, the Company will recognize 100% of the related lease asset and lease liability. As the Company recovers its joint operation partners' share of the costs of the lease contract, these recoveries will be recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. 4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The Company has made estimates, assumptions and judgements regarding certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, primarily related to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. The estimates, assumptions and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below. (A) CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES Purchase price allocations, depletion, depreciation and amortization, asset retirement obligations, and amounts used in impairment calculations are based on estimates of crude oil and natural gas reserves. Reserves estimates are based on engineering data, estimated future prices and production costs, expected future rates of production, and the timing and amount of future development expenditures, all of which are subject to many uncertainties, interpretations and judgements. The Company expects that, over time, its reserves estimates will be revised upward or downward based on updated information. (B) ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS The Company provides for asset retirement obligations on its property, plant and equipment based on current legislation and operating practices. Estimated future costs include assumptions of dates of future abandonment and technological advances and estimates of future inflation rates and discount rates. Actual costs may vary from the estimated provision due to changes in environmental legislation, the impact of inflation, changes in technology, changes in operating practices, and changes in the date of abandonment due to changes in reserves life. These differences may have a material impact on the estimated provision. 70 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. INCOME TAXES (C) The Company is subject to income taxes in numerous legal jurisdictions. Accounting for income taxes requires the Company to interpret frequently changing laws and regulations, including changing income tax rates, and make certain judgements with respect to the application of tax law, estimating the timing of temporary difference reversals, and estimating the realizability of tax assets. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes a liability for a tax filing position based on its assessment of the probability that additional taxes may ultimately be due. (D) FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are primarily based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. The Company uses directly and indirectly observable inputs in measuring the value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets, including quoted commodity prices and volatility, interest rate yield curves and foreign exchange rates. (E) PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATIONS Purchase prices related to business combinations are allocated to the underlying acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the time of acquisition. The determination of fair value requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgements regarding future events. The allocation process is inherently subjective and impacts the amounts assigned to individually identifiable assets and liabilities, including the fair value of crude oil and natural gas properties together with deferred income tax effects. As a result, the purchase price allocation impacts the Company’s reported assets and liabilities and future net earnings due to the impact on future depletion, depreciation, and amortization expense and impairment tests. (F) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has made various assumptions in estimating the fair values of stock options granted under its Option Plan, including expected volatility, expected exercise timing and future forfeiture rates. At each period end, stock options outstanding are remeasured for changes in the estimated fair value of the liability. (G) IDENTIFICATION OF CGUs CGUs are defined as the lowest grouping of integrated assets that generate identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. The classification of assets into CGUs requires significant judgement and interpretations with respect to the integration between assets, the existence of active markets, shared infrastructures, and the way in which management monitors the Company’s operations. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS (H) The recoverable amount of a CGU or an individual asset has been determined as the higher of the CGUs' or the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions and are subject to change as new information becomes available, including information on future commodity prices, expected production volumes, quantity of reserves, asset retirement obligations, future development and operating costs, after-tax discount rates currently ranging from 10% to 12%, and income taxes. Changes in assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount could affect the carrying value of the related assets and CGUs. (I) CONTINGENCIES Contingencies are subject to measurement uncertainty as the related financial impact will only be confirmed by the outcome of a future event. The assessment of contingencies requires the application of judgements and estimates including the determination of whether a present obligation exists and the reliable estimation of the timing and amount of cash flows required to settle the contingency. 5. Inventory Product inventory Materials and supplies $ $ 2018 297 $ 658 955 $ 2017 285 609 894 The Company recorded a write-down of its product inventory of $13 million from cost to net realizable value as at December 31, 2018 (2017 – $33 million). 71 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets Cost At December 31, 2016 Additions Acquisition of AOSP and other assets (note 8) Transfers to property, plant and equipment Disposals/derecognitions At December 31, 2017 Additions Transfers to property, plant and equipment Disposals/derecognitions and other Exploration and Production North America North Sea Offshore Africa Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading Total $ 2,306 $ – $ 76 $ – $ 2,382 144 31 (198) (1) 2,282 245 (175) (4) – – – – – – – – 15 – – – 91 35 – (89) – 259 – – 259 222 (222) (7) 159 290 (198) (1) 2,632 502 (397) (100) At December 31, 2018 $ 2,348 $ – $ 37 $ 252 $ 2,637 During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company acquired a number of exploration and evaluation properties in the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading and North America Exploration and Production segments. In the Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading segment, the Company acquired the Joslyn oil sands project including exploration and evaluation assets of $222 million and associated asset retirement obligations of $4 million. Total consideration of $218 million was comprised of $100 million cash on closing with the remaining balance paid equally over each of the next five years. In the fourth quarter of 2018, following integration of the acquired assets into the Horizon mine plan and determination of proved crude oil reserves, the exploration and evaluation assets were transferred to property, plant and equipment. The above amounts are estimates, and may be subject to change based on the receipt of new information. In the North America Exploration and Production segment, the Company acquired Laricina Energy Ltd., including exploration and evaluation assets of $118 million and property, plant and equipment of $44 million. In addition, the Company also acquired cash of $24 million and deferred income tax assets of $168 million and assumed net working capital liabilities of $18 million, asset retirement obligations of $17 million and notes payable of $48 million. Total purchase consideration was $46 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $225 million on the acquisition, representing the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired compared to total purchase consideration. The Company settled the notes payable immediately following the completion of the acquisition. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The above amounts are estimates, and may be subject to change based on the receipt of new information. The Company also completed two additional farm-out agreements in the Offshore Africa segment to dispose of a combined 30% interest in its exploration right in South Africa, comprised of exploration and evaluation assets of $89 million, including a recovery of $14 million of past incurred costs, for net proceeds of $105 million (US$79 million), resulting in a pre-tax gain of $16 million ($12 million after-tax). The Company retains a 20% working interest in the exploration right following the completion of these farm-out agreements. Under the terms of the various agreements, in the event of a commercial crude oil discovery on the exploration right and conversion to a production right, additional cash payments of between US$623 million and US$645 million will be made to the Company. In the event of a commercial natural gas discovery on the exploration right and conversion to a production right, additional cash payments of between US$126 million and US$132 million will be made to the Company.

The provision for income tax is different from the amount computed by applying the combined statutory Canadian federal and provincial income tax rates to earnings (loss) before taxes. The reasons for the difference are as follows: Canadian statutory income tax rate Income tax provision at statutory rate Effect on income taxes of: UK PRT and other taxes Impact of deductible UK PRT and other taxes on corporate income tax Foreign and domestic tax rate differentials Non-taxable portion of capital gains/losses Stock options exercised for common shares Income tax rate and other legislative changes Non-taxable gain on corporate acquisitions Revisions arising from prior year tax filings Change in unrecognized capital loss carryforward asset Other Income tax expense (recovery) 2018 27.0% 2017 27.0% $ 951 $ 776 $ (3) 3 6 142 (41) – (119) (136) 142 (14) (67) 28 (43) (86) 33 10 (63) (3) (86) (23) $ 931 $ 476 $ 2016 27.0% (287) (324) 131 (54) (80) 94 (107) – (120) (80) (32) (859) The following table summarizes the temporary differences that give rise to the net deferred income tax liability: Deferred income tax liabilities Property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets $ 12,885 $ 12,484 2018 2017 Unrealized risk management activities PRT deduction for corporate income tax Investments Investment in North West Redwater Partnership Other Deferred income tax assets Asset retirement obligations Loss carryforwards Unrealized foreign exchange loss on long-term debt Deferred PRT Other Net deferred income tax liability $ 11,451 $ Movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized in net earnings (loss) during the year were as follows: Property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets $ Timing of partnership items Unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss on long-term debt Unrealized risk management activities Asset retirement obligations Loss carryforwards Investments Investment in North West Redwater Partnership Deferred PRT PRT deduction for corporate income tax 2018 281 $ 2017 541 $ – (75) 18 175 (61) (50) 162 17 (7) 97 – 120 (46) (88) 48 (2) 30 54 (21) 4 $ 557 $ 640 $ Other 82 33 1 46 414 174 20 7 96 252 – 13,553 12,859 (1,142) (855) (104) (1) – (2,102) (1,264) (523) (29) (18) (50) (1,884) 10,975 2016 37 (261) 63 (44) (20) (221) 38 81 (135) 61 160 (241) Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

During 2017, the British Columbia government enacted legislation that increased the provincial corporate income tax rate from 11% to 12% effective January 1, 2018. As a result of this income tax rate increase, the Company's deferred corporate income tax liability was increased by $10 million. During 2016, the UK government enacted legislation to reduce the supplementary charge on oil and gas profits from 20% to 10% effective January 1, 2016, resulting in a decrease in the Company's deferred corporate income tax liability of $107 million. In addition, the UK government also enacted legislation to reduce the PRT rate from 35% to 0% effective January 1, 2016. Allowable abandonment expenditures eligible for carryback to 2015 and prior taxation years for PRT purposes are still recoverable at a PRT rate of 50%. As a result of these tax changes, the Company’s deferred PRT liability was reduced by $228 million and the deferred corporate income tax liability was increased by $114 million. The Company files income tax returns in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to periodic examinations in the normal course by the applicable tax authorities. The tax returns as prepared may include filing positions that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations, which may take several years to resolve. The Company does not believe the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material impact upon the Company’s reported results of operations, financial position or liquidity. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for temporary differences to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Company has not recognized deferred income tax assets with respect to taxable capital loss carryforwards in excess of $1,000 million in North America, which can be carried forward indefinitely and only applied against future taxable capital gains. In addition, the Company has not recognized deferred income tax assets related to North American tax pools of approximately $750 million, which can only be claimed against income from certain oil and gas properties. Deferred income tax liabilities have not been recognized on the unremitted net earnings of wholly controlled subsidiaries. The Company is able to control the timing and amount of distributions and no taxes are payable on distributions from these subsidiaries provided that the distributions remain within certain limits. 83 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

Retained earnings were reduced by $1,044 million, representing the excess of the purchase price of common shares over their average carrying value. During 2017 and 2016, the Company did not purchase any common shares for cancellation. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company purchased 4,340,000 common shares at a weighted average price of $35.86 per common share for a total cost of $156 million. 84 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. STOCK OPTIONS The Company’s Option Plan provides for the granting of stock options to employees. Stock options granted under the Option Plan have terms ranging from five to six years to expiry and vest over a five-year period. The exercise price of each stock option granted is determined at the closing market price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the day prior to the grant. Each stock option granted provides the holder the choice to purchase one common share of the Company at the stated exercise price or receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the stated exercise price and the market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of surrender of the stock option. The Option Plan is a "rolling 9%" plan, whereby the aggregate number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance under the plan shall not exceed 9% of the common shares outstanding from time to time. The following table summarizes information relating to stock options outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017: Outstanding – beginning of year Granted Surrendered for cash settlement Exercised for common shares Forfeited Outstanding – end of year Exercisable – end of year 2018 2017 Stock options (thousands) Weighted average exercise price Stock options (thousands) Weighted average exercise price 56,036 $ 4,256 $ (392) $ (9,975) $ (3,240) $ 46,685 $ 19,436 $ 36.67 43.75 33.46 33.28 38.76 37.92 36.03 58,299 $ 16,052 $ (626) $ (14,256) $ (3,433) $ 56,036 $ 18,282 $ 34.22 42.07 33.18 32.66 37.53 36.67 34.25 The range of exercise prices of stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2018 was as follows: Stock options outstanding Stock options exercisable Range of exercise prices $22.90 – $24.99 $25.00 – $29.99 $30.00 – $34.99 $35.00 – $39.99 $40.00 – $44.99 $45.00 – $46.74 Stock options outstanding (thousands) Weighted average remaining term (years) Weighted average Stock options exercisable (thousands) Weighted average exercise price 3,120 5,112 6,013 11,304 17,107 4,029 46,685 exercise price 22.90 2.04 $ 2.02 $ 0.83 $ 2.72 $ 3.23 $ 4.06 $ 2.66 $ 28.86 33.27 37.46 43.59 45.20 37.92 1,515 $ 2,453 $ 4,831 $ 4,131 $ 5,664 $ 842 $ 19,436 $ 15.

Defined Growth. Independent. 16. Capital Disclosures The Company has defined its capital to mean its long-term debt and consolidated shareholders’ equity, as determined at each reporting date. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital structure are to maintain financial flexibility and balance to enable the Company to access capital markets to sustain its on-going operations and to support its growth strategies. The Company primarily monitors capital on the basis of an internally derived financial measure referred to as its "debt to book capitalization ratio", which is the arithmetic ratio of net current and long-term debt divided by the sum of the carrying value of shareholders’ equity plus net current and long-term debt. The Company’s internal targeted range for its debt to book capitalization ratio is 25% to 45%. This range may be exceeded in periods when a combination of capital projects, acquisitions, or lower commodity prices occurs. The Company may be below the low end of the targeted range when cash flow from operating activities is greater than current investment activities. At December 31, 2018, the ratio was within the target range at 39%. Readers are cautioned that the debt to book capitalization ratio is not defined by IFRS and this financial measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Further, there are no assurances that the Company will continue to use this measure to monitor capital or will not alter the method of calculation of this measure in the future. Long-term debt, net (1) Total shareholders’ equity Debt to book capitalization $ $ 2018 20,522 $ 31,974 $ 39% 2017 22,321 31,653 41% (1) Includes the current portion of long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. The Company is subject to a financial covenant that requires debt to book capitalization as defined in its credit facility agreements to not exceed 65%. At December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with this covenant. 17. Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic (thousands of shares) Effect of dilutive stock options (thousands of shares) Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted (thousands of shares) Net earnings (loss) Net earnings (loss) per common share – basic – diluted 2018 2017 2016 1,218,798 1,175,094 1,100,471 4,960 7,729 – 1,223,758 1,182,823 1,100,471 $ $ $ 2,591 $ 2.13 $ 2.12 $ 2,397 $ 2.04 $ 2.03 $ (204) (0.19) (0.19) In 2018, the Company excluded 23,458,000 potentially anti-dilutive stock options from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share (year ended December 31, 2017 – 17,547,000). 86 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

RISK MANAGEMENT The Company periodically uses derivative financial instruments to manage its commodity price, interest rate and foreign currency exposures. These financial instruments are entered into solely for hedging purposes and are not used for speculative purposes. The following provides a summary of the carrying amounts of derivative financial instruments held and a reconciliation to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Asset (liability) Derivatives held for trading Foreign currency forward contracts Crude oil WCS (1) differential swaps Natural gas AECO basis swaps Natural gas AECO fixed price swaps Cash flow hedges Foreign currency forward contracts Cross currency swaps Included within: Current portion of other long-term assets Current portion of other long-term liabilities Other long-term assets (1) Western Canadian Select. 88 2018 2017 $ 8 $ (38) (17) 1 3 70 291 356 $ 92 $ (17) 281 356 $ – – – (71) 210 101 – (103) 204 101 $ $ $ Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. During 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $2 million (2017 – gain of $5 million, 2016 – gain of $7 million) related to ineffectiveness arising from cash flow hedges. The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments in Level 2 at each measurement date have been determined based on appropriate internal valuation methodologies and/or third party indications. Level 2 fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of future cash flows and discount rates. In determining these assumptions, the Company primarily relied on external, readily-observable quoted market inputs as applicable, including crude oil and natural gas forward benchmark commodity prices and volatility, Canadian and United States forward interest rate yield curves, and Canadian and United States foreign exchange rates, discounted to present value as appropriate. The resulting fair value estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction and these differences may be material. The changes in estimated fair values of derivative financial instruments included in the risk management asset were recognized in the financial statements as follows: Asset (liability) Balance – beginning of year Net change in fair value of outstanding derivative financial instruments recognized in: Risk management activities Foreign exchange Other comprehensive (loss) income Balance – end of year Less: current portion $ 2018 101 $ 35 260 (40) 356 75 $ 281 $ Net (gain) loss from risk management activities for the years ended December 31 were as follows: Net realized risk management (gain) loss Net unrealized risk management (gain) loss $ $ 2018 (99) $ (35) (134) $ 2017 (2) $ 37 35 $ 2017 489 (37) (375) 24 101 (103) 204 2016 8 25 33 FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS a) Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company’s market risk is comprised of commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange risk. COMMODITY PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT The Company periodically uses commodity derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk associated with the sale of its future crude oil and natural gas production and with natural gas purchases. At December 31, 2018, the Company had the following derivative financial instruments outstanding to manage its commodity price risk: Crude Oil WCS differential swaps WCS differential swaps Natural Gas Remaining term Volume Weighted Average Price Index Jan 2019 – Mar 2019 Jan 2019 – Sep 2019 28,000 bbl/d 8,000 bbl/d US$17.65 US$23.57 WCS WCS AECO basis swaps Jan 2019 – Mar 2019 10,000 MMbtu/d AECO fixed price swaps Jan 2019 – Mar 2019 AECO fixed price swaps (1) Apr 2019 – Oct 2019 30,000 GJ/d 10,000 GJ/d US$1.39 $2.30 $1.30 AECO AECO AECO (1) As at March 6, 2019, the Company has hedged an additional 105,000 GJ/d of currently forecasted natural gas volumes using AECO fixed price swaps, at a weighted average price of $1.32/GJ, for April to October 2019. 89 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. The Company's outstanding commodity derivative financial instruments are expected to be settled monthly based on the applicable index pricing for the respective contract month. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT The Company is exposed to interest rate price risk on its fixed rate long-term debt and to interest rate cash flow risk on its floating rate long-term debt. The Company periodically enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage its fixed to floating interest rate mix on long-term debt. Interest rate swap contracts require the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange of the notional principal amounts on which the payments are based. At December 31, 2018, the Company had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK MANAGEMENT The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in Canada primarily related to its US dollar denominated long- term debt and working capital. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk on transactions conducted in other currencies and in the carrying value of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company periodically enters into cross currency swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts to manage known currency exposure on US dollar denominated long-term debt and working capital. The cross currency swap contracts require the periodic exchange of payments with the exchange at maturity of notional principal amounts on which the payments are based. At December 31, 2018 the Company had the following cross currency swap contracts outstanding: Cross currency Swaps Remaining term Amount Exchange rate (US$/C$) Interest rate (US$) Interest rate (C$) Jan 2019 – Nov 2021 Jan 2019 – Mar 2038 US$500 US$550 1.022 1.170 3.45% 6.25% 3.96% 5.76% All cross currency swap derivative financial instruments were designated as hedges at December 31, 2018 and were classified as cash flow hedges. In addition to the cross currency swap contracts noted above, at December 31, 2018 the Company had US$3,506 million of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding, with terms of up to 90 days, including US$3,058 million designated as cash flow hedges. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT SENSITIVITIES The following table summarizes the annualized sensitivities of the Company’s 2018 net earnings and other comprehensive income (loss) to changes in the fair value of financial instruments outstanding as at December 31, 2018, resulting from changes in the specified variable, with all other variables held constant. These sensitivities are prepared on a different basis than those sensitivities disclosed in the Company’s other continuous disclosure documents, are limited to the impact of changes in a specified variable applied to financial instruments only and do not represent the impact of a change in the variable on the operating results of the Company taken as a whole. Further, these sensitivities are theoretical, as changes in one variable may contribute to changes in another variable, which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. In addition, changes in fair value generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in an assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. 90 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT The Company’s accounts receivable are mainly with customers in the crude oil and natural gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. The Company manages these risks by reviewing its exposure to individual companies on a regular basis and where appropriate, ensures that parental guarantees or letters of credit are in place to minimize the impact in the event of default. At December 31, 2018, substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable were due within normal trade terms and the average expected credit loss was approximately 1% of the Company's accounts receivable balance. The Company is also exposed to possible losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments; however, the Company manages this credit risk by entering into agreements with counterparties that are substantially all investment grade financial institutions. At December 31, 2018, the Company had net risk management assets of $361 million with specific counterparties related to derivative financial instruments (December 31, 2017 – $187 million). The carrying amount of financial assets approximates the maximum credit exposure. 91 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value. Defined Growth. Independent. c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Management of liquidity risk requires the Company to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents, along with other sources of capital, consisting primarily of cash flow from operating activities, available credit facilities, commercial paper and access to debt capital markets, to meet obligations as they become due. The Company believes it has adequate bank credit facilities to provide liquidity to manage fluctuations in the timing of the receipt and/or disbursement of operating cash flows. The maturity dates of the Company’s financial liabilities were as follows: Accounts payable Accrued liabilities Other long-term liabilities Long-term debt (1) (2) Less than 1 to less than 2 to less than 1 year 2 years 5 years Thereafter $ $ $ $ 779 $ 2,356 $ 42 $ 1,141 $ – $ – $ 24 $ – $ – $ 69 $ – – – 5,996 $ 3,812 $ 9,793 (1) Long-term debt represents principal repayments only and does not reflect interest, original issue discounts and premiums or transaction costs. (2) In addition to the financial liabilities disclosed above, estimated interest and other financing payments related to long-term debt are as follows: less than one year, $836 million; one to less than two years, $755 million; two to less than five years, $1,668 million; and thereafter, $5,327 million. Interest payments were estimated based upon applicable interest and foreign exchange rates as at December 31, 2018. 20.

Included in the service toll is $1,301 million of interest payable over the 30 year tolling period. See note 10. In addition to the commitments disclosed above, the Company has entered into various agreements related to the engineering, procurement and construction of its various development projects. These contracts can be cancelled by the Company upon notice without penalty, subject to the costs incurred up to and in respect of the cancellation. The Company is defendant and plaintiff in a number of legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In addition, the Company is subject to certain contractor construction claims. The Company believes that any liabilities that might arise pertaining to any such matters would not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position. 92 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

Segmented Information The Company’s exploration and production activities are conducted in three geographic segments: North America, North Sea and Offshore Africa. These activities include the exploration, development, production and marketing of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas. The Company’s Oil Sands Mining and Upgrading activities are reported in a separate segment from exploration and production activities. Midstream activities include the Company’s pipeline operations, an electricity co-generation system and Redwater Partnership. Segmented revenue and segmented results include transactions between business segments. Sales between segments are made at prices that approximate market prices, taking into account the volumes involved. These transactions and any unrealized profits and losses are eliminated on consolidation, unless unrealized losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Sales to external customers are based on the location of the seller.

Supplementary Oil & Gas Information for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018 (Unaudited) This supplementary crude oil and natural gas information is provided in accordance with the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Topic 932 – "Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas" and where applicable, financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015 the Company filed its reserves information under National Instrument 51-101 – "Standards of Disclosure of Oil and Gas Activities" ("NI 51-101"), which prescribes the standards for the preparation and disclosure of reserves and related information for companies listed in Canada. There are significant differences to the type of volumes disclosed and the basis from which the volumes are economically determined under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requirements and NI 51-101. The SEC requires disclosure of net reserves, after royalties, using 12-month average prices and current costs; whereas NI 51-101 requires gross reserves, before royalties, using forecast pricing and costs. Therefore the difference between the reported numbers under the two disclosure standards can be material. For the purposes of determining proved crude oil and natural gas reserves for SEC requirements as at December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015 the Company used the 12-month average price, defined by the SEC as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period. The Company has used the following 12-month average benchmark prices to determine its 2018 reserves for SEC requirements. Crude Oil and NGLs Natural Gas WTI Cushing Oklahoma (US$/bbl) 65.55 WCS (C$/bbl) 53.67 Canadian Light Sweet (C$/bbl) 70.32 Cromer LSB (C$/bbl) 75.54 North Sea Brent Edmonton C5+ (US$/bbl) 72.09 (C$/bbl) 80.65 Henry Hub Louisiana (US$/MMBtu) 3.02 AECO (C$/MMBtu) 1.46 BC Westcoast Station 2 (C$/MMBtu) 1.25 A foreign exchange rate of US$1.00/C$1.2821 was used in the 2018 evaluation, determined on the same basis as the 12-month average price. Net Proved Crude Oil and Natural Gas Reserves The Company retains Independent Qualified Reserves Evaluators to evaluate and review the Company's proved crude oil, bitumen, synthetic crude oil ("SCO"), natural gas, and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") reserves. ■■ For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016,and 2015, the reports by GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. covered 100% of the Company’s SCO reserves. With the inclusion of non-traditional resources within the definition of “oil and gas producing activities” in the SEC’s modernization of oil and gas reporting rules, effective January 1, 2010 these reserves volumes are included within the Company’s crude oil and natural gas reserves totals. ■■ For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the reports by Sproule Associates Limited and Sproule International Limited covered 100% of the Company’s crude oil, bitumen, natural gas and NGLs reserves. Proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, as defined within the SEC's Regulation S-X, are the estimated quantities of oil and gas that by analysis of geoscience and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be economically producible, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. Developed crude oil and natural gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of drilling a new well; and through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well. Undeveloped crude oil and natural gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

A discount factor of 10% has been applied in determining the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. The Company does not believe that the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows will be representative of actual future net cash flows and should not be considered to represent the fair value of the crude oil and natural gas properties. Actual net cash flows will differ from the presented estimated future net cash flows due to several factors including: ■■ Future production will include production not only from proved properties, but may also include production from probable and possible reserves; ■■ Future production of crude oil and natural gas from proved properties will differ from reserves estimated; ■■ Future production rates will vary from those estimated; ■■ Future prices and costs rather than 12-month average prices and costs as at the balance sheet date will apply; ■■ Economic factors such as interest rates, income tax rates, regulatory and fiscal environments and operating conditions will change; ■■ Future estimated income taxes do not take into account the effects of future exploration and evaluation expenditures; and ■■ Future development and asset retirement obligations will differ from those estimated. Future net revenues, development, production and asset retirement obligation costs have been based upon the estimates referred to above. The following tables summarize the Company's future net cash flows relating to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves based on the standardized measure as prescribed in FASB Topic 932 - "Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas": 104 Canadian Natural 2018 Annual Report Premium Value.

Corporate Governance Canadian Natural’s corporate governance practices and disclosure of those practices are in compliance with National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines and National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices. Canadian Natural, as a “foreign private issuer” in the United States, may rely on home jurisdiction listing standards for compliance with most of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Corporate Governance Listing Standards but must disclose any significant differences between its corporate governance practices and those required for U.S. companies listed on the NYSE. Canadian Natural follows Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) rules with respect to shareholder approval of equity compensation plans and material revisions to such plans. TSX rules provide that only the creation of or material amendments to equity compensation plans which provide for new issuance of securities are subject to shareholder approval. However, the NYSE requires shareholder approval of all equity compensation plans whether they provide for the delivery of newly issued securities, or rely on securities acquired in the open market by the issuing company for the purposes of redistribution to plan beneficiaries, and material revisions to such plans. Canadian Natural has a performance share unit plan pursuant to which common shares are purchased through the TSX. This is not a new issue of securities under the performance share unit plan and under TSX rules the plan is not subject to shareholder approval. Canadian Natural has included as exhibits to its Annual Report on Form 40-F for the 2018 fiscal year filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission certificates of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certifying as to disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting Printed in Canada by Canadian Bank Note Commercial Solutions.
