("Baytex") announced on February 28, 2023 that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the '"Agreement") to acquire Ranger Oil Corporation ("Ranger"), a pure play Eagle Ford company (the "Acquisition"). In this presentation, we refer to certain specified financial measures which do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). While these measures are commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, our determination of these measures may not be comparable with calculations of similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. This presentation also contains oil and gas disclosures, various industry terms, and forward-looking statements, including various assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based and related risk factors. Please see the Company's disclosures located at the end of this presentation for further details regarding these matters. All slides in this presentation should be read in conjunction with "Forward Looking Statements Advisory", "Specified Financial Measures Advisory", "Capital Management Measures Advisory" and "Advisory Regarding Oil and Gas Information". This presentation should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated audited financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the period ended December 31, 2022. There is no representation by Baytex that actual results achieved will be the same in whole or in part as those referenced in the forward-looking statements. The future oriented financial information and forward-looking statements are made as of February 28, 2023 and Baytex disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws. All dollar amounts in this presentation are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. The CAD/USD exchange rate used in this presentation is 1.35. |

With more than 10 years of projected development inventory in each of our core areas, our objective is to deliver modest and reliable annual production growth organically and generate meaningful free cash flow while maintaining reasonable financial leverage. We are committed to building an even stronger and more resilient business over time to increase shareholder value and enhance direct shareholder returns on a per-share basis. We view our extensive position in Canada and the Eagle Ford as core to our ongoing business. We are building an even stronger Canadian energy company with a high-quality diversified oil-weighted portfolio across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and the Eagle Ford." "The Ranger acquisition is strategic. We are acquiring a strong operating capability in the Eagle Ford, on-trend with our non-operated position in the Karnes Trough and driving meaningful per-share accretion on all metrics. The transaction more than doubles our EBITDA and nearly doubles our free cash flow. The Ranger inventory immediately competes for capital in our portfolio and brings 12-15 years of quality oil-weighted drilling opportunities. We are building quality scale and a more durable business with a lower break-even WTI price. We are committed to enhancing direct shareholder returns, and through this transaction, we are returning more value to our shareholders on a per-share basis. Upon closing of this transaction, we intend to initiate a dividend, which will be a key means of delivering reliable value to shareholders going forward." "I couldn't be more proud of the Ranger team and the company we've built together. We expect that combining with the balance sheet strength, deep asset base, and operational excellence of Baytex will create a unique company of scale which will deliver sustained free cash flow growth and differentiated shareholder returns. We look forward to bringing together our complementary teams and assets to realize the long-term value of this combination for our shareholders." "This transaction represents a leap forward in shareholder value creation potential and accelerates both companies' shareholder return strategies. We expect this combination will create a company that is exceptionally positioned for sustained shareholder returns." Eric T. Greager President and Chief Executive Officer, Baytex Energy Darrin Henke Chief Executive Officer, Ranger Oil Edward Geiser Chairman, Ranger Oil Board of Directors Managing Partner, Juniper Capital |

Such financial outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other circumstances. In the interest of providing the shareholders of Baytex and potential investors with information regarding Baytex, including management's assessment of future plans and operations, certain statements in this presentation are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "intend", "may", "objective", "ongoing", "outlook", "potential", "project", "plan", "should", "target", "would", "will" or similar words suggesting future outcomes, events or performance. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation peak only as of the date hereof and are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Specifically, this presentation contains forward-looking statements relating to but not limited to: the Acquisition, the expected closing of the Acquisition and the timing thereof; the expected financial effects of the Acquisition, including the expected accretion to adjusted funds flow, free cash flow and production, the expected impact on break-even price, our debt levels and leverage ratio, the expected impact on EBITDA and expected single-well IRRs and paybacks; the expected operational impacts of the Acquisition, including the number of locations to be drilled and the level of oil and natural gas production from wells on the acquired acreage; and expected plans as a result of the transaction, including increasing direct shareholder returns to 50% of free cash flow, instituting a dividend, maintaining or increasing share buybacks and anticipated changes to our management team and Board of Directors. In addition, information and statements relating to reserves are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in quantities predicted or estimated, and that they can be profitably produced in the future.

These forward-looking statements are based on certain key assumptions regarding, among other things: the consummation and success of the Acquisition and our ability to successfully integrate the acquired business into our existing operations; petroleum and natural gas prices and differentials between light, medium and heavy oil prices; well production rates and reserve volumes; the ability to add production and reserves through exploration and development activities; capital expenditure levels; the ability to borrow under credit agreements; the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approvals for operating activities; the availability and cost of labour and other industry services; interest and foreign exchange rates; the continuance of existing and, in certain circumstances, proposed tax and royalty regimes; the ability to develop crude oil and natural gas properties in the manner currently contemplated; and current industry conditions, laws and regulations continuing in effect (or, where changes are proposed, such changes being adopted as anticipated). Readers are cautioned that such assumptions, although considered reasonable by Baytex at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. Actual results achieved will vary from the information provided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the volatility of oil and natural gas prices and price differentials (including the impacts of rising macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and Covid-19); restrictions or costs imposed by climate change initiatives and the physical risks of climate change; risks associated with our ability to develop our properties and add reserves; the impact of an energy transition on demand for petroleum productions; changes in income tax or other laws or government incentive programs; availability and cost of gathering, processing and pipeline systems; retaining or replacing our leadership and key personnel; the availability and cost of capital or borrowing; risks associated with a third-party operating our Eagle Ford properties; risks associated with large projects; costs to develop and operate our properties; public perception and its influence on the regulatory regime; current or future control, legislation or regulations; new regulations on hydraulic fracturing; restrictions on or access to water or other fluids; regulations regarding the disposal of fluids; risks associated with our hedging activities; the impact of elevated levels of inflation and government policies aimed at reducing them, such as increasing interest rates; variations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; our inability to fully insure against all risks; additional risks associated with our thermal heavy oil projects; our ability to compete with other organizations in the oil and gas industry; risks associated with our use of information technology systems; results of litigation; that our credit facilities may not provide sufficient liquidity or may not be renewed; failure to comply with the covenants in our debt agreements; risks of counterparty default; the impact of Indigenous claims; risks associated with expansion into new activities; risks associated with the ownership of our securities, including changes in market-based factors; risks for United States and other non-resident shareholders, including the ability to enforce civil remedies, differing practices for reporting reserves and production, additional taxation applicable to non-residents and foreign exchange risk; and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. These and additional risk factors are discussed in our Annual Information Form, Annual Report on Form 40-F and Management's Discussion and Analysis for year ended December 31, 2022, filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in our other public filings. The above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking statements has been provided in order to provide shareholders and potential investors with a more complete perspective on Baytex's current and future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. We have not risked potential drilling locations, and actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered may differ substantially from estimates. We make no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations that have been identified. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of our on-going drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling, and production costs, availability of drilling and completion services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, regulatory approvals, and geological and mechanical factors. Estimates of reserves, type/decline curves, EURs, per-well economics, and resource potential may change significantly as development of our oil and gas assets provides additional data. Additionally, internal rates of return disclosed in this presentation are calculated solely based on drilling and completion costs per well and lease operating expenses and do not include other costs such as land acquisition costs, general and administrative expenses, or other costs and expenses. Additionally, initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be reflective of sustained production levels. |

While these measures are commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, our determination of these measures may not be comparable with calculations of similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. There are no significant differences in the calculations between historical and forward-looking specified financial measures. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Free cash flow Free cash flow referred to in this presentation is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure that is calculated consistently with the measures disclosed in the Company's MD&A. The most directly comparable financial measure for free cash flow disclosed in the Company's primary financial statements is cash flow from operating activities. For the year-ended December 31, 2022, cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow were $1.1 billion and $621.5 million, respectively. For information on the composition of free cash flow and how the Company uses this measure, refer to the "Specified Financial Measures" section of the MD&A for the period ended December 31, 2022, which section is incorporated herein by reference, and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Operating netback Operating netback and operating netback per boe referred to in this presentation are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures and ratios that are calculated consistently with the measures disclosed in the Company's MD&A. The most directly comparable financial measure for operating netback disclosed in the Company's primary financial statements is petroleum and natural gas sales. For the year-ended December 31, 2022, petroleum and natural gas sales and operating netback were $2.9 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. For information on the composition of operating netback and operating netback per boe and how the Company uses these measures, refer to the "Specified Financial Measures" section of the MD&A for the period ended December 31, 2022, which section is incorporated herein by reference, and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Total debt Total debt is used to assess the Company's liquidity position at a point in time. Total debt is comprised of the credit facilities and long-term notes outstanding adjusted for unamortized debt issuance costs. The following table summarizes our calculation of total debt. 1) Unamortized debt issuance costs were obtained from Note 7 Credit Facilities and Note 8 Long-term Notes from the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. ($ millions) December 31, 2022 Credit facilities $383 Unamortized debt issuance costs – Credit facilities(1) 2 Long-term notes 548 Unamortized debt issuance costs – Long-term notes(1) 7 Total Debt $940 |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Cont.) Cash costs Cash costs are used to monitor the Company's operating and transportation costs for an applicable period and is calculated by adding together operating and transportation expenses per the primary financial statements. The following table summarizes our calculation of cash costs Non-GAAP Financial Ratios Total debt to EBITDA ratio Total debt to EBITDA ratio is used to monitor future liquidity requirements and is calculated as total debt divided by EBITDA. EBITDA is calculated in accordance with the terms of the credit facilities agreement. Asset level free cash flow break-even price Asset level free cash flow break-even price represents the benchmark WTI price ($US/bbl) required to generate free cash flows equal to zero and is used by management to assess the financial flexibility for capital allocation. Cash costs per boe Cash costs per boe is calculated as operating and transportation expenses divided by barrels of oil equivalent production volume for the applicable period and is used to measure cost synergies on a per boe basis. ($ millions) December 31, 2022 Operating expense $423 Transportation expense 49 Cash costs $472 |

We believe that the inclusion of these capital management measures provides useful information to financial statement users when evaluating the financial results of Baytex. Net debt and adjusted funds flow are calculated consistently with the measures disclosed in the Company's MD&A. The most directly comparable financial measures for net debt and adjusted funds flow disclosed in the Company's primary financial statements are credit facilities and cash flow from operating activities, respectively. For the year-ended December 31, 2022, credit facilities and cash flow from operating activities were $383.0 million and $1.1 billion, respectively. For the year-ended December 31, 2022, net debt and adjusted funds flow were $987.4 million and $1.2 billion, respectively. For information on the composition of these measures and how the Company uses them, refer to the "Specified Financial Measures" section of the MD&A for the period ended December 31, 2022, which section is incorporated herein by reference, and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. |

The determination of oil and gas reserves involves the preparation of estimates that have an inherent degree of associated uncertainty. Categories of proved and probable reserves have been established to reflect the level of these uncertainties and to provide an indication of the probability of recovery. The estimation and classification of reserves requires the application of professional judgment combined with geological and engineering knowledge to assess whether or not specific reserves classification criteria have been satisfied. Knowledge of concepts, including uncertainty and risk, probability and statistics, and deterministic and probabilistic estimation methods, is required to properly use and apply reserves definitions. The recovery and reserves estimates described herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves and future production from such reserves may be greater or less than the estimates provided herein. The estimates of reserves for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. Complete NI 51-101 reserves disclosure for year-end 2021 is included in our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2021 which will be filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission no later than March 31, 2022. This presentation discloses drilling inventory and potential drilling locations. Drilling inventory and drilling locations refers to Baytex's total proved, probable and unbooked locations. Proved locations and probable locations account for drilling locations in our inventory that have associated proved and/or probable reserves. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on our prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves. Unbooked locations are farther away from existing wells and, therefore, there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty whether such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. In the Eagle Ford, Baytex's net drilling locations include 129 proved and 58 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 37 unbooked locations. In the Viking, Baytex's net drilling locations include 936 proved and 222 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 490 unbooked locations. In Peace River (including Clearwater), Baytex's net drilling locations include 61 proved and 37 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 334 unbooked locations. In Lloydminster, Baytex's net drilling locations include 82 proved and 63 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 423 unbooked locations. In the Duvernay, Baytex's net drilling locations include 17 proved and 12 probable locations as at December 31, 2021 and 231 unbooked locations. References herein to average 30-day initial production rates and other short-term production rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long term performance or of ultimate recovery. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating aggregate production for us or the assets for which such rates are provided. A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out in respect of all wells. Accordingly, we caution that the test results should be considered to be preliminary. Where applicable, oil equivalent amounts have been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Notice to United States Readers The petroleum and natural gas reserves contained in this presentation have generally been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States or other foreign disclosure standards. For example, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") requires oil and gas issuers, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only "proved reserves", but permits the optional disclosure of "probable reserves" (as defined in SEC rules). Canadian securities laws require oil and gas issuers disclose their reserves in accordance with NI 51-101, which requires disclosure of not only "proved reserves" but also "probable reserves". Additionally, NI 51-101 defines "proved reserves" and "probable reserves" differently from the SEC rules. Accordingly, proved and probable reserves disclosed in this presentation may not be comparable to United States standards. Probable reserves are higher risk and are generally believed to be less likely to be accurately estimated or recovered than proved reserves. In addition, under Canadian disclosure requirements and industry practice, reserves and production are reported using gross volumes, which are volumes prior to deduction of royalty and similar payments. The SEC rules require reserves and production to be presented using net volumes, after deduction of applicable royalties and similar payments. Moreover, in this presentation future net revenue from its reserves has been determined and disclosed estimated using forecast prices and costs, whereas the SEC rules require that reserves be estimated using a 12-month average price, calculated as the 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. As a consequence of the foregoing, the reserve estimates and production volumes in this presentation may not be comparable to those made by companies utilizing United States reporting and disclosure standards. |
