which should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, cash flow from operations and cash flow per share \u2013 operations as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company\u2019s performance.\u00a0 Management uses adjusted funds flow from operations to analyze operating performance and considers adjusted funds flow from operations to be a key measure as it demonstrates the Company\u2019s ability to generate cash necessary to fund future capital investment.\u00a0 Adjusted funds flow per share \u2013 operations is calculated using the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares for the period consistent with the calculations of earnings per share.\u00a0 For a reconciliation of adjusted funds flow from operations to cash flow from operations, which is the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS, see the Company&#8217;s MD&amp;A.\u00a0 <\/em><em>This press release also contains other industry benchmarks and terms, including \u201coperating netbacks\u201d (calculated on a per unit basis as oil, natural gas and NGL revenues less export tax, royalties and operating costs), which is a non-IFRS measure.\u00a0 See &#8220;TDF Operating Netback&#8221; for the calculation of operating netback.\u00a0 Management believes this measure is a useful supplemental measure of the Company\u2019s profitability relative to commodity prices.\u00a0 Readers are cautioned, however, that operating netbacks should not be construed as an alternative to other terms such as net income as determined in accordance with IFRS as measures of performance.\u00a0 Crown Point\u2019s method of calculating this measure may differ from other companies, and accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><u>Abbreviations and BOE Presentation<\/u><\/em><em>: &#8220;3-D&#8221;

Well-flow test results, swab test rates and initial production rates may be estimated based on other third party estimates or limited data available at the time. Well-flow test result data should be considered to be preliminary until a pressure transient analysis and\/or well-test interpretation has been carried out.
