Q1 2020 REVIEW
17
► Production averaged 97,154 boe/d, representing a 1% decrease from the prior quarter, with minor negative effects from the pandemic.
► FFO was $170 million ($1.09/basic share*), a decrease of 21% from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower commodity prices that began to materialize midway through the quarter in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and oil price war that ensued in early March.
► In March, we reduced our monthly dividend by 50% to $0.115 per share and announced an $80 to $100 million reduction to our annual capital budget in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting negative impact on near-term oil demand and prices.
► Subsequent to the first quarter, we suspended the monthly dividend as a further measure to strengthen our financial position.
► We executed a front-loaded capital program in Q1 2020, in part to mitigate the risk of post break-up weather delays. This capital program has established significant production capacity, which will benefit us throughout the year as we minimize capex for the remainder of 2020.
► Vermilion was named to the CDP Climate Leadership Level (A-) for the third consecutive year.
* Fund Flows from Operations (FFO) is a non-standardized measure (see Advisory). ** Net debt to trailing twelve months funds flow from operations.

COVID-19 RESPONSE
18
HEALTH & SAFETY RESPONSE TO COVID-19
► Health and safety of our employees and contractors prioritized above all else
► Operational response and business continuity illustrates effectiveness of decentralized
business unit model
► Proactive implementation of Vermilion’s Pandemic and Infectious Disease Plan in each of our
business units
► Leveraged both international and local government direction to ensure a fit for purpose response in
each jurisdiction
► Successful adaptation of work procedures for both field and office staff, ensuring safety and
business continuity in all three of our three operating regions
► No confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in our global workforce
19
OPERATIONAL RESPONSE TO COVID-19
► Physical distancing measures incorporated in all of our field and office locations, and
work schedules adjusted where necessary
► Only moderate impact on our operations due to COVID-19, mainly in France due to
reduced availability of third party services
► Grandpuits refinery in Paris Basin anticipated to remain offline until mid-July
► At present, shut-in impact has annualized impact estimated at 2,000 boe/d

Capital Markets
Model
►Integrated organizational, operating, and geographic models allows us to optimize our capital markets model even in a dramatically-altered environment
►Termed-out debt structure with low interest costs enhances our financial flexibility
►Sophisticated risk management program across multiple commodities allows us to react quickly to changing commodity prices and modulate cash flow variability
Operating
Strengths
►Focus on HSE prepares us to react quickly to unexpected situations to ensure safety and business continuity
►Conventional and semi-conventional asset base results in better capital efficiencies and lower decline rates
►Low operating leverage means we can remain cash flow positive even during periods of low commodity prices
Geographic
Strengths
►Global commodity diversification modulates cash flow variability and contributes to higher margins
►Project and jurisdictional diversification reduces risk of underperformance in any single project
Organizational
Strengths
►Decentralized business unit organizational model allows our operating teams to craft optimized solutions to events which have variable local impacts, such as COVID-19
►Low operating and G&A cost base supports higher margins and reduces break-even costs
►Focus on environmental sustainability allows us to reduce costs while reducing carbon emissions
►Strong corporate culture means everyone is willing to pitch in to meet these new challenges
