Executive Summary
Criteria for the Non-Investment Grade World is a statistical study of 163 companies in the oil and
gas industry between 2008 and Q1 2014. In its review, DBRS has targeted the industry participants with
characteristics indicative of a non-investment grade rating, which are ratings below BBB (low). This is the
fnal study of a four part series that identifes the key characteristics used to defne the individual rating
categories. DBRS recently published three studies, which focused on the AAA/AA (Best of the Best,
September 2013), A (Straight As, December 2013) and BBB (Making the Grade, April 2014)
rating categories. In addition, this study updates discussion on the natural gas market, the oil pricing
sensitivity analysis, and the 2014 ratings outlook.
In determining any rating in the oil and gas sector, DBRS places emphasis on fve key criteria.
THE FIVE BUSINESS FACTORS
DBRS uses fve key business factors in determining credit quality for oil and gas exploration and production
(E&P) companies. These factors include: (1) Size and Business Mix; (2) Reserves of Core Operations; (3)
Cost Competitiveness; (4) Sensitivity to Price/Market Volatility; and (5) Capital Flexibility.
(1) Size and Business Mix Analysis:
Size is one of the most critical factors in determining credit quality in the oil and gas sector, especially
for non-investment grade companies. Larger entities are typically able to take a longer-term approach
to resource development, with lower borrowing costs and greater diversifcation. Smaller entities on the
other hand have considerably less fexibility to withstand market volatility, which increases their credit
risk. Daily production is key measurement to determine size for an exploration & production (E&P)
company.
Common characteristics for a Non-Investment Grade rating
Very small to small size (typically less than 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d))
Minimal integration
Minimal product mix (liquids versus dry gas)
Limited geographical diversifcation
(2) Reserves of Core Operations Analysis:
The companys reserves quality is another important factor to determine credit quality. Non-investment
grade companies generally have a relatively limited inventory of reserves that can be developed in the
future. These reserves also typically have a lower quality relative to investment grade companies.
Common characteristics for a Non-Investment Grade rating
Weak reserve quality
Short reserve life
Weak ability to grow reserves and production
(3) Cost Competitiveness Analysis:
Non-investment grade companies generally have a relatively high cost base, with below-average operating
effciency. These companies are generally not vertically integrated, with only upstream operations.
Common characteristics for a Non-Investment Grade rating
High cost base
Low operating effciency
Weak infrastructure

(4) Sensitivity to Price/Market Volatility Analysis:
Non-investment grade companies have a limited ability to withstand signifcant pricing volatility and are
highly susceptible to prolonged periods in low pricing environments.
Common characteristics for a Non-Investment Grade rating
Weak ability to withstand market volatility
(5) Capital Flexibility Analysis:
Non-investment grade players generally have a greater diffculty in responding to changing dynamics in
the industry. The players typically have weak capital fexibility, which will negatively affect the effciency
and effectiveness of capital deployment.
Common characteristics for a Non-Investment Grade rating
Weak capital fexibility.
FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
DBRS ratings are also determined by the level of fnancial risk based on the following criteria. Key metrics
for the non-investment grade rating categories are shown below.
Key Credit Metrics:
Key Metric BB B
Debt-to-cash fow 2.0x to 3.0x > 3.0x
Debt-to-capital 45% to 55% > 55%
EBIT interest coverage 3.0x to 5.0x < 3.0x
Analysis:
Key metrics for a non-investment grade rated entity are typically much weaker versus investment grade
entities. Specifcally, non-investment grade entities generally have poor balance sheets, weaker cash fow
streams to service debt obligations, and much more limited access to capital to fund future capex needs.
Ranking:
DBRS notes that the vast majority of the companies reviewed were non-investment grade. Of the 163
companies reviewed, 110 companies had characteristics indicative of a non-investment grade rating.
In determining the ranking of the companies within this study, DBRS focused primarily on fnancial
statistics, sovereign infuence and to a lesser extent, business risk characteristics. The ranking within the
study is presented for illustrative purposes only and in most cases, do not represent DBRSs actual ratings.

Topic Two: The Natural Gas Focus
NATURAL GAS: THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
What should the price of natural gas be?
The price of natural gas is traditionally based on a six to one energy equivalent to oil. The ratio is based
on the substitution between oil for natural gas. For example, a barrel of oil will generate approximately
six million British thermal units (Btus) of energy, while one thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of gas would
produce approximately one million Btus of energy. On a direct substitution basis, this would indicate
that the price of natural gas should theoretically be over $16 based on an oil price of $100. However, in
reality, oil and gas are not direct substitutions and are subject to supply and demand imbalances that may
make this ratio invalid.
Todays pricing environment in Asia, Europe and North America
Natural gas pricing varies quite dramatically between Asia, Europe and North America.
Asia: Natural gas prices are linked to the price of Brent oil on an energy-equivalent basis with various
pricing adjustments to limit volatility. The Q1 2014 price in Japan averaged over $16/million British
thermal units (MMBtu). Key suppliers to the region are Australia, Qatar, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Europe: Similar to Asia, natural gas prices are closely linked to Brent oil. For example, the price for
natural gas from Russia is often linked to Brent oil and sold under long-term contracts. Currently, the
Russian Natural Gas border price in Germany trades just under $11/MMBtu. Key suppliers to the
region are the U.K. (North Sea), Norway, the Netherlands and Russia.
North America: Pricing is based on market supply and demand characteristics, which may vary quite
dramatically from an energy-equivalent basis. In Q1 2014, the Henry Hub (the largest natural gas hub
in North America) price averaged approximately $4.60/MMBtu. This low price, relative to Europe
and Asia, is attributable to oversupply conditions that have existed since 2008. This region is self-
suffcient and does not require foreign imports.

NATURAL GAS: NORTH AMERICAN FOCUS
The North American natural gas pricing imbalance - good or bad?
The defnition of an imbalance is an ineffciency within the capital markets, thus, the net impact is negative.
The current pricing imbalance between North America and other regions has created many winners and
losers. The main benefciaries of low natural gas prices in North America are consumers and energy-
intensive industries such as oil sands players. Consumers beneft from lower utility rates and heating
costs, while the industrial sector is better positioned today to handle foreign competition. The key losers
during a weak natural gas pricing environment are the natural gas producers, which face tremendous
margin pressures and weak proftability. To correct the overall negative impact of the imbalance, North
America needs to have the ability to export an excess supply of natural gas to global markets.
Shifting natural gas trends has lead to greater volatility
Prior to 2008, the price of natural gas was closely linked to oil prices and natural gas production consisted
primarily of conventional drilling methods used to extract a depleting resource base. Using conventional
technology, natural gas supply was not keeping pace with rising consumption. The growth of consumption
was primarily attributable to changes in the electricity generation mix from dirty coal to cleaner
natural gas. Ultimately, this consumption shift led to concerns that North America would eventually
run out of natural gas, causing a spike in pricing. Furthermore, these concerns led to the development of
fracking technology, contributing to a massive oversupply of natural gas into the North America market.
As a result, considerable pricing volatility followed.

THE PAST: THE GREAT PRICING DIVERGENCE
Prior to 2008, North American natural gas prices were closely linked to the price of crude oil (6:1
to 10:1), as both commodities benefted from tight supply-demand conditions. Post-2008, the great
divergence occurred, as natural gas supply dramatically increased with the unexpected development of
fracking technologies. This resulted in a signifcant drop in prices in North America that continues today.
However, despite the cold winter that recently passed (which helped eliminate some of the excess supply
conditions that existed) pricing has yet to fully recover. The section that follows outlines some of the
reasons contributing to this odd pricing dynamic.

THE FUTURE: PRICING UNCERTAINTY
Should 2015 see a winter similar to this past year, natural gas prices could be driven considerably higher
than currently forecasted. This is somewhat positive news for most E&Ps, especially for operators that
have greater exposure to North American natural gas. However, it is unlikely to result in prices greater
than $5/MMcf. Below are some supply-side and demand-side dynamics that will likely continue to affect
the natural gas pricing environment going forward.
Future supply-side dynamics
Rig count heavily infuenced by the pricing environment: DBRS believes that E&P producers will
begin to allocate more capital expenditures (capex) to natural gas production when prices surpass
approximately $5/MMcf. This could limit any upside in pricing beyond $5/MMcf.
Growing associated natural gas production from liquids-focused drilling: Signifcant production
from unconventional plays will continue to have an impact on the level of liquids and gas volumes
produced.
Continued improvement in drilling and completion effciency: Exploration and production (E&P)
producers have continued to increase operating effciencies for producing wells. As a result, production
has continued to rise despite a drop in rig count.
Future development of LNG: In May 2013, the frst natural gas project that will allow for the export
of natural gas from North America to global markets was approved. Additional approvals could
improve future supply-demand balances; however, lead times for these developments can exceed ten
years.
Future demand-side dynamics
The use of natural gas from the power sector: Coal-fred generation typically becomes more cost
effective when natural gas prices are over $4/MMcf. This could limit any signifcant growth in demand
from the power sector.
Weather conditions: As evidenced, warmer- or colder-than-average temperatures greatly infuence
the demand-supply balance, and will continue to have an impact on price volatility. For example
in 2014, the frigid temperatures in North America saw inventories decline substantially resulting
in a signifcant increase in prices. Should North America experience another cold winter, potential
shortages could exist, which would result in signifcant price volatility.
Recovery of the North American economy: The pace of economic improvement could have a positive
impact on demand for natural gas.
Future transportation fuel: Natural gas as a substitute to fuel for the transportation industry remains in
its infancy. However, new technologies and any pricing differentials could increasingly lead consumers
to switch over in the long term.

Topic Three: Sensitivity Analysis for Oil Producers
OIL COULD PRESSURE WEAKER CREDITS
DBRS has found that, should oil prices drop below the $60 per barrel level, smaller E&P issuers and mid-
sized issuers with limited fnancial fexibility will likely face signifcant negative pressure on credit ratings.
DBRS has stress-tested the impact of various crude oil pricing points on issuers within its ratings universe,
analyzing the effects of oil prices on capex, dividends, ability to access capital market funding and asset
sales/purchases. Large E&P issuers could possibly see some minor pressure on metrics; however, they
would generally have suffcient fnancial fexibility and liquidity to withstand extended periods of lower
pricing, with little to no rating action expected.

For smaller to mid-sized E&P issuers, sub-$60 oil prices would likely cause a signifcant shift in capex and
dividend planning. Issuers slow to react to this lower pricing level could face considerable free cash fow
defcits that would need to be funded with existing liquidity. Typically, liquidity for these issuers consists
of: (1) existing on-balance sheet cash and credit facilities, (2) cuts to dividends and capex and, as a last
resort, (3) asset sales. For those mid-sized E&P issuers, liquidity support should be sustainable for at
least two years, with only a minimal impact on current ratings. However, for the smaller E&Ps, liquidity
support is typically shorter-term in nature and less able to withstand price shocks. As a result, smaller
E&P issuers face downside risks to current ratings, should oil prices drop below $60 for an extended
period of time.
Larger E&P issuers take a multiple-cycle approach to strategic planning. During sub-$60 pricing periods,
they are unlikely to change plans and may see this pricing as an opportunity to acquire assets at a
discount. Given their size and the strength of their fnancial profles, larger E&P issuers are unlikely to
experience pressure on ratings. Larger companies have adequate access to capital markets under most
conditions and maintain considerable balance sheet strength.
$70 to $80 pricing results in few changes to strategic plans
Large- and mid-sized E&P issuers are not likely to be affected at pricing between $70 and $80 per barrel,
given their size and fnancial/liquidity profles and general long-term outlook in relation to dividends
and capital spending. In contrast, at this price point, smaller E&P issuers would likely begin planning
decreases to capex levels and/or dividends.
Prices above $90 lead to expansionary spending
At prices above $90, all E&P issuers are expected to generate considerable growth in operating cash fow.
This cash fow will be used primarily to increase capex and dividends. Activity surrounding asset pur-
chases and sales is likely to decrease as sellers will demand premium pricing for their assets and mid-sized
players are unlikely to participate.
CHARACTERISTICS OF PLAYERS
Small-sized E&P
DBRS defnes small-sized E&P issuers as those with production levels of 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent
per day (boe/d) or less. These issuers are generally concentrated in one or few geographic regions and,
due to their small size, have limited economies of scale. Small E&P issuers generally have shorter-term
focus and limited balance sheet strength and fnancial fexibility, making them highly susceptible to price
volatility and economic fuctuations. These characteristics limit their access to the capital markets, thus
constraining their overall liquidity. As a result, many smaller E&P issuers credit quality is considered to
be below investment grade, with a greater probability of rating action during economic downturn.
Mid-sized E&P
Mid-sized E&P issuers are those with production levels between 100,000 boe/d and 500,000 boe/d,
as defned by DBRS. Issuers of this size generally beneft from greater geographic diversifcation and
economies of scale; however, operations are less diversifed than those of larger E&P issuers. Issuers of
this scale are more likely to withstand a short-term (i.e., one cycle) economic downturn, as they have
modest liquidity and greater fnancial fexibility, as compared to smaller E&P issuers.
Large-sized E&P
Large-sized E&P issuers are generally more resilient to pricing shocks, due to stronger fnancial profles
and access to liquidity. Operational and fnancial planning consider a longer time horizon (i.e., multiple
cycles), resulting in minimal cuts to capex or dividends during cycle downturns. These issuers also beneft
from greater global diversifcation, as well as economies of scale due to their high production levels
(greater than 500,000 boe/d). As a result of their size and fnancial strength, larger E&P issuers are better
positioned to withstand market shocks and are less likely to be subject to rating volatility during market
swings. Larger E&P issuers generally have a higher ceiling for credit ratings.

2014 Ratings Outlook
DBRS expects generally stable credit profles in 2014, particularly for companies with production profles
heavily weighted toward crude oil and/or liquids-rich natural gas (including natural gas at an oil-linked
index price). Most large E&P companies are expected to live within their means by ensuring capital
expenditures (capex) spending and dividends are fundable by operating cash fow, whereas smaller E&P
companies are expected to generate cash fow defcits due to a high level of capex in order to ramp up
production. Rating volatility is not anticipated in the near term.
2014 global oil pricing
Oil prices are expected to remain well above $80 per barrel as the global economy begins to stabilize. It
is expected that many companies will continue to focus growth spending on oil and oil-based natural gas
in order to generate higher margins.
2014 North American natural gas pricing
Pricing for natural gas in North America is expected to remain relatively fat. Some previous excess supply
conditions have been alleviated; however three key challenges may limit upside potential for natural gas
prices: (1) signifcant shut-in capacity, (2) coal to natural gas switching, which is uneconomic above $4
per MMcf, and (3) potential for increased drilling activity should prices go above $5 per MMcf.
TOP TEN CREDIT DRIVERS
In this study, DBRS collected historical data from 163 oil and gas companies between 2008 and Q1 2014.
Following a review of the data and industry trends, DBRS drew the following ten key conclusions:
(1) Asia drives demand for the industry.
Demand from Asia is the main driving force behind strong commodity prices and production growth.
Over the past decade, oil consumption growth in Asia has signifcantly outpaced production growth in
the region, creating a supply-demand imbalance and placing upward pressure on global prices.
(2) Key credit ratios remain strong.
Following the sector turmoil of 2008, many issuers maintained conservative fnancial profles. All key
credit metrics remained at or near cycle highs in Q1 2014, benefting from high oil prices.
(3) Capital expenditure is focused on oil and liquids development.
Capital expenditure has grown signifcantly since hitting a low point in 2009, when many companies
scaled back spending to provide fexibility during the fnancial crisis. In North America, the majority
of capital spending is allocated to higher-margin oil and liquids developments, shifting away from low
margin natural gas drilling.
(4) Revolutionary technology advances fuel growth.
Recent technology advances specifcally, the development of horizontal drilling and fractionation
technologies have proven incredibly successful, resulting in signifcant growth in shale oil and gas
production. This new technology, coupled with lean, factory-like practices used in feld development, has
shortened drilling and completion times and raised production levels.
(5) Rising oil sands investment in Canada and Bakken Shale/Eagleford development in the United
States
Excluding reserves owned by governments, Canadas oil sands account for approximately 52% of global
accessible oil reserves. In the United States, the Bakken Shale/Eagleford will likely see considerable
investment for the foreseeable future. Investment in emerging markets, such as Venezuela and Iran,
remains minimal, due to limitations on foreign ownership and the risk of political instability. Similar
limitations can also be found in well-established growth countries such as Saudi Arabia and Russia.

(6) A growing shortage of highly skilled labour is an ongoing challenge.
The skilled labour pool remains limited when compared with the numerous future projects under
development. As a result, the tight labour market could lead to a repeat of the substantial cost overruns
experienced in 20062008.
(7) Pipeline and infrastructure constraints contribute to signifcant pricing differential.
The North American oil price differential has remained volatile, with prices of Canadian light and heavy
oil and North Dakota Bakken crude oil trading at discounts. Currently, there is a glut of oil supply at
one of the key hubs at land-locked Cushing, Oklahoma, which has negatively affected proftability of
non-integrated E&Ps. This glut is directly attributable to unanticipated oil and gas production from the
Bakken Shale and Canadian oil sands, which the existing pipeline infrastructure has not been able to
support.
(8) Integrated operations provide natural hedge.
Companies with integrated operations have been able to achieve superior returns in downstream businesses
by capturing the price differential. In contrast, the price differential did not perform well in the previous
commodity cycle. In general, companies with integrated operations have stronger business risk profles.
(9) Regulatory issues continue to have signifcant implications for future production growth.
The oil and gas sector, particularly oil sands, continues to come under increased scrutiny, as environmental
issues pertaining to air, water and land have gained worldwide attention. In addition, obtaining regulatory
approval for new pipelines has remained challenging, as evidenced by the Keystone XL pipelines regulatory
approval permitting delays. A lack of takeaway capacity in the medium term could signifcantly affect
future production growth.
(10) North America makes a big bet on liquefed natural gas (LNG).
LNG projects require signifcant capital investments over the next decade in North America. Many large
E&P companies will contribute signifcant capital to grow LNG. Lead times are considerable and the
ability to bring projects online remains highly challenging.

KEY CREDIT METRICS
2014 Q1 Summary
Key credit metrics remained relatively fat for the period; however, the industry continues to beneft from
top-of-the-cycle conditions in the liquids segment. Ongoing weakness of North American natural gas
prices continues to negatively impact proftability for operators with signifcant exposure to this market.
2014 Outlook
DBRS expects oil prices to remain well above average, at above $80 for WTI. At these levels, most
issuers are able to fund current capex projects primarily with internally generated cash fow.
North American natural gas fundamentals are expected to remain relatively weak, given current
conditions. Those issuers with >70% of their production mix in North American natural gas will likely
continue to experience weak credit metrics.

INCOME STATEMENT DATA IN Q1 2014
Q1 2014 Summary
Earnings on a trailing twelve months basis ending March 31, 2014, increased modestly primarily due to
the favourable pricing environment and companies ongoing cost cutting initiatives.
2014 Outlook
DBRS anticipates earnings will likely be fat in 2014, as a modest increase in revenues is expected to be
more than offset by increasing depreciation levels and ongoing cost pressures despite the cost cutting
initiatives.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE IN Q1 2014
Q1 2014 Summary
Total debt remained at elevated levels in Q1 2014, as issuers continue to spend aggressively on capex.
Despite high debt levels, many issuers maintained strong balance sheets and have built signifcant cash
balances to buffer any unexpected market shocks.
2014 Outlook
The balance sheets for the sector are well positioned to sustain near-term pricing volatility shocks.
However, should pricing collapse, the companies will likely curtail capex or reduce dividends to preserve
liquidity.

Q1 2014 CASH FLOWS
Q1 2014 Summary
The majority of issuers included in the study generated negative free cash fow in Q1 2014. This was
primarily due to high capex levels intended to ramp up production and high dividend payouts. However,
the size of the free cash fow defcits declined modestly as cash fows from operations increased and
capex and dividends decreased slightly. A number of companies are focusing on a free-cash fow neutral
target for their capital expenditure programs.
2014 Outlook
DBRS expects the current trends in the sector to continue through 2014, albeit with slightly lower capex
levels. As a result, DBRS expects the negative free cash fow trend to continue in the sector.

1. Due to consolidation with Exxon Mobil Corp. results, Imperial Oil Limited is excluded from the aggregate table.
The signifcant growth capex in aggregate over the past few years have led to an increase in debt
levels since 2010. However, the fnancial profles for most operators remained relatively strong in Q1
2014, due to continued favourable crude oil and oil-linked natural gas/liquids prices.

RATING SCALES
Easily recognizable and widely accepted, the DBRS rating scales provide an accurate, impartial refer-
ence and representation of an issuers credit standing. With the current trend toward globalization, it is
becoming increasingly necessary to maintain consistency and impartiality when evaluating creditworthi-
ness. The familiar letter-grade symbols DBRS utilizes allow borrowers and investors to communicate in a
common language, using a common set of principles.
The DBRS rating symbols assist in the task of analyzing, evaluating and tracking large numbers of bor-
rowers for individual and institutional investors alike. Because of its impartiality, DBRS has earned the
confdence of many leading institutions that regularly use our research and analysis in their daily opera-
tions. DBRS rating symbols are frequently used under fduciary guidelines, and some institutions have
incorporated these symbols into their own analysis and decision-making processes. DBRS credit ratings
are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold a particular security, but are forward-looking measures that
assess an entitys ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. DBRS ratings do not take
factors such as pricing and market risk of securities into consideration, as investors are expected to use
the ratings as one part of their investment process. The following is a snapshot of DBRS policies related
to ratings, rating appendages and rating actions. For more details, please refer to our website or contact
DBRS directly.

LONG-TERM DEBT RATING SCALE
The DBRS long-term rating scale provides an opinion on the risk of default. That is, the risk that an issuer
will fail to satisfy its fnancial obligations in accordance with the terms under which an obligations has
been issued. Ratings are based on quantitative and qualitative considerations relevant to the issuer, and
the relative ranking of claims. All rating categories other than AAA and D also contain subcategories
(high) and (low). The absence of either a (high) or (low) designation indicates the rating is in
the middle of the category.
AAA
Highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of fnancial obligations is exceptionally high and
unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.
AA
Superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of fnancial obligations is considered high. Credit
quality differs from AAA only to a small degree. Unlikely to be signifcantly vulnerable to future events.

A
Good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of fnancial obligations is substantial, but of lesser
credit quality than AA. May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered
manageable.
BBB
Adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of fnancial obligations is considered acceptable.
May be vulnerable to future events.
BB
Speculative, non-investment-grade credit quality. The capacity for the payment of fnancial obligations is
uncertain. Vulnerable to future events.
B
Highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet fnancial
obligations.
CCC, CC and C
Very highly speculative credit quality. In danger of defaulting on fnancial obligations. There is little
difference between these three categories, although CC and C ratings are normally applied to obligations
that are seen as highly likely to default, or subordinated to obligations rated in the CCC to B range.
Obligations in respect of which default has not technically taken place but is considered inevitable may
be rated in the C category.
D
A fnancial obligation has not been met or it is clear that a fnancial obligation will not be met in the
near future or a debt instrument has been subject to a distressed exchange. A downgrade to D may not
immediately follow insolvency or restructuring fling as grace periods or extenuating circumstances may
exist.

COMMERCIAL PAPER AND SHORT-TERM DEBT RATING SCALE
The DBRS short-term debt rating scale provides an opinion on the risk that an issuer will not meet its
short-term fnancial obligations in a timely manner. Ratings are based on quantitative and qualitative
considerations relevant to the issuer and the relative ranking of claims. The R-1 and R-2 rating categories
are further denoted by the subcategories (high), (middle), and (low).
R-1 (high)
Highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term fnancial obligations as they fall due is
exceptionally high. Unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.
R-1 (middle)
Superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term fnancial obligations as they fall due
is very high. Differs from R-1 (high) by a relatively modest degree. Unlikely to be signifcantly vulnerable
to future events.
R-1 (low)
Good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term fnancial obligations as they fall due is
substantial. Overall strength is not as favourable as higher rating categories. May be vulnerable to future
events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.
R-2 (high)
Upper end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term fnancial obligations as
they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events.
R-2 (middle)
Adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term fnancial obligations as they fall due
is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events or may be exposed to other factors that could reduce
credit quality.
R-2 (low)
Lower end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term fnancial obligations as
they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events. A number of challenges are present that
could affect the issuers ability to meet such obligations.
R-3
Lowest end of adequate credit quality. There is a capacity for the payment of short-term fnancial obliga-
tions as they fall due. May be vulnerable to future events and the certainty of meeting such obligations
could be impacted by a variety of developments.
R-4
Speculative credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term fnancial obligations as they fall
due is uncertain.
R-5
Highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet short-term
fnancial obligations as they fall due.
D
A fnancial obligation has not been met or it is clear that a fnancial obligation will not be met in the
near future, or a debt instrument has been subject to a distressed exchange. A downgrade to D may not
immediately follow insolvency or restructuring fling as grace periods, other procedural considerations,
or extenuating circumstance may exist.

Glossary of Terms
Cash Flow from Operations (CFO): Cash fow before change in non-cash working capital. Similar to
net income before non-recurring items, CFO excludes all non-recurring cash fow, including cash from
discontinued operations. Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), fnance expenses
may be excluded from CFO; however, DBRS believes that from a credit perspective, CFO should be net of
fnance expenses as it was calculated under Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
and U.S. GAAP. DBRS also looks at the stability of CFO throughout a business cycle to assess its quality.
Cash Flow-to-Dividends and Capital Expenditures: Cash fow from operations divided by the sum of
capital expenditures and dividends paid. DBRS uses this ratio to analyze a companys ability to use inter-
nally generated cash fow to fnance its growth after paying dividends. A ratio greater than 1.0x indicates
that the company generates free cash fow.
Cash Flow-to-Dividends and Capital Expenditures = Cash Flow from Operations (Dividends +
Capital Expenditures)
Cash Flow-to-Total Debt: Cash fow from operations divided by gross debt, as defned. DBRS uses this
ratio to measure a companys ability to meet debt levels using cash generated through its core operations.
The higher the ratio, the less time it takes the company to pay off its debt.
Cash Flow-to-Total Debt = Cash Flow from Operations Gross Debt
Debt-to-EBITDA: Gross debt, as defned, divided by EBITDA. DBRS uses this ratio to measure a com-
panys ability to repay borrowings with its income before depreciation, interest and tax. Lower ratios
indicate a higher capacity to repay or lower earnings-to-debt leverage. DBRS looks at the maximum of
this ratio in the covenants to assess the ability of the company to borrow additional debt given the current
level of EBITDA.
Debt-to-EBITDA = Gross Debt EBITDA
EBIT Interest Coverage: EBIT divided by gross interest expense; this ratio is similar to EBITDA interest
coverage, but after depreciation and amortization. If a company has high EBITDA but low EBIT, indi-
cating high fxed costs and risk, it may require more capital spending to sustain the current level of
operations.
EBIT Interest Coverage = EBIT Gross Interest
EBIT Margin: This ratio is calculated by dividing EBIT by net sales. This ratio is similar to EBITDA
margin but is measured after depreciation and amortization.
EBIT Margin = EBIT Net Sales
EBIT: Earnings before interest and taxes. It is defned as EBITDA less depreciation and amortization. The
approach used by DBRS to assess EBIT is similar to that of EBITDA, which measures the quality, stability
and diversifcation of EBIT. Furthermore, in the oil and gas sector, EBIT is of particular importance in that
companies often have to spend suffcient amount of capital expenditures to replace depreciated assets to
sustain their operations.
EBIT = EBITDA Depreciation and Amortization
Oil & Gas Study
Criteria For the Non-Investment Grade World

EBITDA Interest Coverage: EBITDA divided by gross interest expense. DBRS uses this ratio to analyze
a companys ability to cover its interest payments with earnings before fnancing charges, depreciation
and amortization. This ratio ignores principal payments, assuming refnancing. DBRS looks for stability
in EBITDA interest coverage through business cycles to determine if a company will be able to meet
commitments in a downturn. DBRS also compares this ratio with the leverage ratio covenants in the
indenture or a credit agreement to determine how much room a particular company has.
EBITDA Interest Coverage = EBITDA Gross Interest
EBITDA Margin: This ratio is calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales. It is used to measure a com-
panys operating effciency. DBRS looks at the margin consistency through the business cycle. Since the oil
and gas industry has high fxed costs and is capital intensive, critical mass is important as it reduces unit
costs. Companies with economies of scale tend to achieve a higher EBITDA margin.
EBITDA Margin = EBITDA Net Sales
EBITDA: Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It is defned as revenue less
cost of goods sold and operating expenses. EBITDA measures core earnings to the exclusion of items
that are non-recurring and/or one-time in nature, including earnings from discontinued operations. This
number is indicative of a companys ability to generate income before fnance expenses, depreciation
and amortization charges and taxes. As such, it can often be used as a proxy for cash fow from core
operations before taxes and interest. Furthermore, to determine the quality of EBITDA, DBRS looks at
(1) the size of a companys EBITDA relative to its peers, (2) the stability of EBITDA throughout business
cycles and (3) the components of EBITDA to determine the degree of diversifcation in operations.
EBITDA = Revenue Cost of Goods Sold Operating Expenses (general administrative costs,
exploration expenses, research and development expenses and other operating expenses)
Gross Debt (or Adjusted Total Debt): The sum of short-term debt, long-term debt and capitalized operating
leases plus the debt portion of hybrid securities and preferred shares, where applicable at period end.
Net Debt: Gross debt, as defned, less cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period.
Net Debt = Gross Debt Cash and Cash Equivalents
Net Income before Non-Recurring Items: Earnings after income taxes, adjusted to exclude extraordinary
and non-recurring items (including equity earnings but net of minority interest). This number is used to
measure a companys proftability without being distorted by one-time items. As such, DBRS looks for
consistency through business cycles, as well as diversifcation through different operations and geographic
locations.
Net Income before Non-Recurring Items = EBIT Interest Income Taxes Extraordinary Items
Percent Debt in Capital Structure: Gross debt at the end of the period divided by total capital of the
period, as defned. This ratio indicates the debt-leverage level; the higher the ratio, the more the debt
leverage and the higher the fnancial risk. In an industry as volatile as oil and gas, low-leverage companies
can better withstand an economic downturn. DBRS looks at the debt covenants in a credit agreement or
an indenture to determine the level of fnancial fexibility.
Percent Debt in Capital Structure = Gross Debt Total Capital
Oil & Gas Study
Criteria For the Non-Investment Grade World
July 2014
230
Percent Net Debt in Capital Structure: Net debt divided by total capital, as defned. This is similar to total
debt-to-total capital. However, this ratio takes a closer look at the percent debt in the capital structure to
see if there might be cash on hand that offsets debt levels. If the ratios are similar, the cash on hand adds
little comfort, but if they differ, the cash on hand provides some comfort that the debt burden could easily
be mitigated, but with the caveat that the excessive cash on the balance sheet may be used by the company
for other purposes such as capital expenditures, share buybacks or potential acquisitions.
Percent Net Debt in Capital Structure = Net Debt Total Capital
Return on Capital (ROC): This ratio is calculated by dividing net income after tax but before non-
recurring items by the average of the beginning and ending total capital (debt and equity). This ratio
measures proftability levels as percentage of total capital. This presents the returns of investments by
both shareholders and debt creditors. A low ROC but a signifcantly high ROE could mean that the
company is highly leveraged, imposing more risk to the debt holders in favour of the shareholders.
Return on Capital = Net Income before Non-Recurring Items / [(Year-end X Total Capital + Year-end
X-1 Total Capital) /2]
Return on Common Equity (ROE): This ratio is calculated by dividing net income after tax but before
non-recurring items by the average of the beginning of the year and ending of the years common equity.
This ratio measures a companys proftability level as a percentage of equity or shareholder investment.
DBRS looks for high ROE as well as year-over-year consistency in the ratio.
Return on Equity = Net Income before Non-Recurring Items [(Year-end X Common Equity +
Year-end x-1 Common Equity) /2]
Total Capital: Gross debt plus total equity, as defned.
Total Capital = Gross Debt + Total Equity
Total Equity or Adjusted Total Equity (for the purpose of calculating capital structure): The sum of
common equity and minority interest, plus the equity portion of hybrid securities and preferred shares,
where applicable.

The following BRR risk factors are relevant to issuers in all industries (although the relevance of sovereign
risk can vary considerably):
Sovereign Risk
The issuer rating may, in some cases, be constrained by the credit risk of the sovereign; in other words,
the rating of the country in which the issuer operates generally sets a maximum rating for the issuer. If the
issuer operates in multiple countries and a material amount of its business is conducted in a lower-rated
country, DBRS may refect this risk by downwardly adjusting its issuer rating.
Oil & Gas Study
Criteria For the Non-Investment Grade World

232
Corporate Governance
Please refer to DBRS Criteria: Evaluating Corporate Governance for further information on how
DBRS evaluates corporate governance and management.
ADDITIONAL BRR FACTORS
The additional BRR factors discussed below may be very important for certain issuers, depending upon
their activities, but they do not necessarily apply to all issuers in the industry.
Political Risks
Companies in the oil and gas industry are often confronted with signifcant political risks, including
unilateral changes in royalties, production-sharing contracts and more local issues, particularly in
politically sensitive countries.
While international frms in any industry can be subject to political risks, oil and gas reserves located
in politically unstable countries are particularly vulnerable to risk. Diversifcation between countries
is important to ensure the security of reserves. DBRS reviews political risk indicators, such as the
percentage of production from Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
countries, credit ratings of host countries and the concentration of production and reserves by country,
where appropriate.
Regulatory/Environmental Risks
All production activities are subject to regulatory oversight, particularly with respect to safety and
environmental issues. Certain activities, such as offshore drilling or tar sand production, for example,
are subject to additional regulations as well as public attention.
While environmental costs remain a relatively small portion of total operating costs, these are likely
to increase over time and could result in a lengthier permit process, which will likely have a negative
impact on proftability.
Exploration
Exploration, while essential to fnding new reserves, is an expensive and risky undertaking. To the
extent a frm is overweighted in exploration activities relative to its size or capital resources, DBRS may
view this as a negative factor on the rating.

Company-Specifc Financial Risk Factors
PRIMARY FRR METRICS
The FRR grid below shows the primary FRR metrics used by DBRS to determine the FRR. While these
primary FRR metrics are shown in general order of importance, depending upon an issuers activities,
the ranking can vary by issuer.
DBRS ratings are based heavily on future performance expectations, so while past metrics are important,
any fnal rating will incorporate DBRSs opinion on future metrics, a subjective but critical consideration.
It is not unusual for a companys metrics to move in and out of the ranges noted in the grid below,
particularly for cyclical industries. In the application of this matrix, DBRS looks beyond the point-in-
time ratio.
Financial metrics depend on accounting data whose governing principles vary by jurisdiction and, in
some cases, industry. DBRS may adjust fnancial statements to permit comparisons with issuers using
different accounting principles.
Please refer to DBRS Criteria: Financial Ratios and Accounting Treatments Non Financial Companies
for defnitions of, and common adjustments to, these ratios in the FRR grid below.
Liquidity can be a material risk factor, especially for lower-rated non-investment grade issuers. DBRS
will consider available sources of liquidity including cash on hand, cash fow, access to bank lines, etc.,
as well as uses of liquidity such as operations, capital expenditures, share buybacks and dividends for
every issuer.
While market pricing information (such as market capitalization or credit spreads) may on occasion
be of interest to DBRS, particularly where it suggests that an issuer may have diffculty in raising
capital, this information does not usually play a material role in DBRSs more fundamental approach
to assessing credit risk.
Oil and Gas - Primary FRR Metrics
Key Ratio AA A BBB BB B
Debt-to-cash fow < 1.0x 1.0x to 1.5x 1.50x to 2.0x 2.0x to 3.0x > 3.0x
Debt-to-capital < 25% 25% to 35% 35% to 45% 45% to 55% > 55%
EBIT interest coverage > 20.0x 10x to 20x 5x to 10x 3.0x to 5.0x < 3.0x
ADDITIONAL FRR METRICS
While the primary FRR metrics above will be the most important metrics that DBRS will use in
determining the FRR of an issuer, other metrics may be used, depending upon an issuers activities,
capital structure, pension liabilities and off-balance sheet obligations.
Proftability, particularly in the medium term, can be an important differentiator of credit risk. DBRS
may assess proftability through a variety of metrics, including return on capital.
Operating metrics, such as netback analysis (a measure of operating proftability on a per barrel basis
or reserve recycle ratio (a measure of operating proftability per dollar invested in reserve development),
can be useful metrics for credit differentiation.
For issuers that have downstream operations, DBRS may evaluate these activities with operating
statistics, such as refned throughput or refned capacity utilization (an effciency measure that indicates
the percentage of a companys licensed capacity that is used).
Because of the high cyclicality of the industry, fnancial ratios vary widely through the cycle. As a result,
fnancial metrics (in comparison with BRR factors) will be of even lower relative importance than they
are for most industries, particularly for investment-grade credits.

INDUSTRY BUSINESS RISK RATING DEFINITIONS
DBRS specifes the BRR for an industry in terms of our Long-Term Obligations rating scale. When
discussing industry BRRs for an industry, DBRS typically provides either one specifc rating or a limited
range (such as BBB (high)/BBB). Using a range recognizes the fact that, by their nature, industry BRRs are
less precise than a specifc corporate or security rating, as they represent an overall industry. In addition
to relating to the industry level, these defnitions also apply to the business risk of individual companies,
which will fall more often in the very high and low categories (AA/AAA and B) than would be the case
for an entire industry.
Industry BRRs
Rating Business Strength Comment
AA/AAA Exceptional An industry BRR of AA/AAA is considered unusually strong, with no meaningful
weakness in any individual area. It may include pure monopolies that are
deemed essential (the primary case being regulated utilities, where the risk of
deregulation is believed to be very low). Common attributes include product
differentiation, high barriers to entry and meaningful cost advantages over other
industries or entities. These and other strengths provide exceptional stability
and high proftability. It would be quite rare for an industry to have a BRR in this
category.
A Superior Industry BRRs at the A level are considered well above average in terms of
stability and proftability and typically have some barriers to entry related to
capital, technology or scale. Industries that have, by their nature, inherent
challenges in terms of cyclicality, a high degree of competition and technology
risks would be unlikely to attain this rating category.
BBB Adequate Industry BRRs at the BBB level include many cyclical industries where other
positive considerations are somewhat offset by challenges related to areas such
as commodity products, labour issues, low barriers to entry, high fxed costs and
exposure to energy costs. This rating category is considered average and many
industries fall within it, with key considerations such as overall proftability and
stability typically considered as neither above or below average.
BB Weak An industry at the BB level has some meaningful challenges. In addition to high
cyclicality, challenges could include the existence of high technology or other
risks. Long-standing industries that may have lost their key strengths through
factors such as new competition, obsolescence or the inability to meet changing
purchaser demands may ft here. The culmination of such factors results in an
industry that does not generally score well in terms of stability and proftability.
For an entire industry, this is typically the lowest BRR level.
B Poor While not common, there are cases where an industry can have a BRR of B. Such
industries would typically be characterized by below-average strength in all or
virtually all major areas.
