CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 6, 2009) - Suncor Energy Inc. All financial figures are unaudited and in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. Certain financial measures referred to in this document are not prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For a description of these measures, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 23 of Suncor's 2009 third quarter management's discussion and analysis (MD&A). This document makes reference to barrels of oil equivalent (boe). A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas: one barrel of crude 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.

The three and nine month amounts ending September 30, 2009 reflect results of the post-merger ...
