Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Ovintiv faces commodity, FX, and interest rate risks, using derivatives and policy limits to manage exposures.
⌄
Commodity price risk is the primary exposure; a 10% oil price increase would cause a $55M unrealized pre-tax loss on risk management positions, while a 10% natural gas price increase would yield a $61M gain.
Foreign exchange risk stems mainly from U.S./Canada operations; a 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar would result in a $48M unrealized pre-tax loss.
The Company had no floating-rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2026, so a 1% interest rate change would have no pre-tax earnings impact.
Ovintiv may use futures, forwards, swaps, options, and to hedge commodity risk, and may enter into foreign currency derivatives to manage FX exposure.
All derivative use is governed by formal policies and subject to Board-established limits; instruments may require margin deposits or letters of credit.
