NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    
June 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED)
1.
STRUCTURE OF THE BUSINESS
The principal undertakings of Crescent Point Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Crescent Point”) are to carry on the business of acquiring, developing and holding interests in petroleum and natural gas properties and assets related thereto through a general partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries.
Crescent Point is the ultimate parent company and is amalgamated in Alberta, Canada under the Alberta Business Corporations Act. The address of the principal place of business is 2000, 585 - 8th Ave S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 1G1.
These interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on August 12, 2015.
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and have been prepared following the same accounting policies as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. Certain information and disclosures included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements are condensed herein or are disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The policies applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of August 12, 2015, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements.
The Company’s presentation currency is Canadian dollars and all amounts reported are Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. References to “US$” are to United States dollars. Crescent Point's operations are aggregated into one reportable segment based on the similar nature of products produced, production processes and economic characteristics between the Company's Canadian and U.S. operations.
3.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In future accounting periods, the Company will adopt the following IFRS:
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. The standard is required to be adopted either retrospectively or using a modified transaction approach. In July 2015, the IASB announced an amendment to IFRS 15, deferring the effective date of the standard by one year to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption still permitted. IFRS 15 will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - IFRS 9 was amended in July 2014 to include guidance to assess and recognize impairment losses on financial assets based on an expected loss model. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with earlier adoption permitted. This amendment will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on the consolidated financial statements.

Working capital deficiency is calculated as accounts payable and accrued liabilities plus dividends payable, less cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and deposits and long-term investments, excluding the equity settled component of dividends payable.
Crescent Point's objective for managing capital is to maintain a strong balance sheet and capital base to provide financial flexibility, pay dividends and to position the Company for future development of the business. Ultimately, Crescent Point strives to maximize long-term stakeholder value by ensuring the Company has the financing capacity to fund projects that are expected to add value to stakeholders and distribute any excess cash that is not required for financing projects.
Crescent Point manages and monitors its capital structure and short-term financing requirements using a non-GAAP measure, the ratio of net debt to funds flow from operations. Net debt is calculated as long-term debt plus accounts payable and accrued liabilities and dividends payable, less cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and deposits and long-term investments, excluding the equity settled component of dividends payable and unrealized foreign exchange on translation of US dollar senior guaranteed notes. Funds flow from operations is calculated as cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital, transaction costs and decommissioning expenditures. Net debt to funds flow from operations is used to measure the Company's overall debt position and to measure the strength of the Company's balance sheet. Crescent Point's objective is to manage this metric to be well positioned to pay monthly dividends and to continue to exploit and develop its resource plays. Crescent Point monitors this ratio and uses this as a key measure in making decisions regarding financing, capital spending and dividend levels. The Company's net debt to funds flow from operations ratio at June 30, 2015 was 1.9 times (December 31, 2014 - 1.3 times). The funds flow from operations only reflects funds flow from operations generated on acquired properties since the closing date of the acquisitions.
Crescent Point strives to fund its capital expenditures and dividends over time by managing risks associated with the oil and gas industry. To accomplish this, the Company maintains a conservative balance sheet with significant unutilized lines of credit, manages its exposure to fluctuating interest rates and foreign exchange rates on its long-term debt, and actively hedges commodity prices using a 3½ year risk management program by hedging up to 65 percent, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, of after royalty volumes using a portfolio of swaps, collars and put option instruments and up to 35 percent of after royalty volumes using a combination of financial derivatives and fixed differential physical contracts to manage price differentials.
Crescent Point is subject to certain financial covenants on its credit facility and senior guaranteed notes agreements and is in compliance with all financial covenants as at June 30, 2015.

INCOME TAXES
In early 2014, the Company received a proposal letter from the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) in 2014 disallowing $122.8 million of tax pools and $12.6 million of investment tax credits with respect to the 2008 taxation year. The Company made representations to the CRA on the matter, with a view that the risk of losing these tax attributes was remote. However, the CRA has informed management that a notice of reassessment will be issued to that respect. The Company also received a notice of reassessment disallowing $30.1 million of tax pools in respect to the 2010 tax year. The Company is disputing both matters and management believes that it will be successful in defending its positions. Therefore, no provision for the potential income tax liability was recorded at June 30, 2015.
On June 29, 2015, the Alberta government enacted a two percent increase in the corporate income tax rate. The rate increase is effective July 1, 2015. As a result, the Company’s deferred income tax liability increased by $43.7 million in the period ended June 30, 2015.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Restricted Share Bonus Plan
The Company has a Restricted Share Bonus Plan pursuant to which the Company may grant restricted shares to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The restricted shares vest on terms up to three years from the grant date as determined by the Board of Directors.
Deferred Share Unit Plan
The Company has a DSU plan for directors. Each DSU vests on the date of the grant, however, the settlement of the DSU occurs following a change of control or when the individual ceases to be a director of the Company. Deferred Share Units are settled in cash based on the prevailing Crescent Point share price.
The following table reconciles the number of restricted shares and DSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES
The Company's financial assets and liabilities are comprised of cash, accounts receivable, long-term investments, reclamation fund, derivative assets and liabilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable and long-term debt.
Crescent Point's derivative assets and liabilities are transacted in active markets. Crescent Point's long-term investments are transacted in active and non-active markets. The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following fair value hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument:
Level 1 - Values are based on unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2 - Values are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3 - Values are based on prices or valuation techniques that are not based on observable market data.
Accordingly, Crescent Point's derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2. Long-term investments are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the valuation methods and inputs used and whether the applicable company is publicly traded or private. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy.
Crescent Point's valuation of investments in private companies is based primarily on recent trading activity in the relevant company's common shares. Crescent Point validates these valuations using a variety of peer comparison metrics and industry data. The Company's finance department is responsible for performing the valuation of financial instruments, including the calculation of Level 3 fair values. Refer to Note 4 for changes in the Company's Level 3 investments.
Discussions of the fair values and risks associated with financial assets and liabilities, as well as summarized information related to derivative positions are detailed below:
a) Carrying Amount and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, reclamation fund, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and dividends payable approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of the amounts drawn on bank credit facilities is equal to its carrying amount as the facilities bears interest at floating rates and credit spreads within the facilities are indicative of market rates. These financial instruments are classified as financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost and are reported at amortized cost.

Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset if the Company has the legal right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or settle the asset and liability simultaneously. The Company offsets derivative assets and liabilities when the counterparty, commodity, currency and timing of settlement are the same. The following table summarizes the gross asset and liability positions of the Company's financial derivatives by contract that are offset on the balance sheet as at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Risks Associated with Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company is exposed to financial risks from its financial assets and liabilities. The financial risks include market risk relating to commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates as well as credit and liquidity risk.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a derivative will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of commodity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk as discussed below.

CRESCENT POINT ENERGY CORP.
17


Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk on crude oil and natural gas revenues as well as power on electricity consumption. As a means to mitigate the exposure to commodity price volatility, the Company has entered into various derivative agreements and physical contracts. The use of derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors.
Crude oil - To partially mitigate exposure to crude oil commodity price risk, the Company enters into option contracts and swaps, which manage the Cdn$ WTI price fluctuations. The Company also enters physical delivery and derivative WTI price differential contracts which manage the spread between US$ WTI and various stream prices. The Company manages physical delivery contracts on a month-to-month spot and on a term contract basis. As at June 30, 2015, Crescent Point had committed, on a term contract basis, to deliver an average of approximately 11,000 bbl/d of crude oil from July 2015 to December 2015 and 2,500 bbl/d of crude oil from January 2016 to December 2019.
Natural gas - To partially mitigate exposure to natural gas commodity price risk, the Company enters into AECO natural gas swaps, which manage the AECO natural gas price fluctuations.
Power - To partially mitigate exposure to electricity price changes, the Company may enter into swaps or fixed price physical delivery contracts which fix the power price.
The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company's derivative positions as at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 to fluctuations in commodity prices or differentials, with all other variables held constant. When assessing the potential impact of these commodity price or differential changes, the Company believes a 10 percent volatility is a reasonable measure. Fluctuations in commodity prices or differentials potentially would have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting income before tax as follows:

Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on bank credit facilities to the extent of changes in the prime interest rate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, a one percent increase or decrease in the interest rate on floating rate debt would have amounted to a $2.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively impact on income before tax.
The Company partially mitigates its exposure to interest rate changes by entering into interest rate swap transactions. The following sensitivities show the resulting unrealized gains (losses) and the impact on income before tax of the respective changes in the applicable forward interest rates as at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 with all other variables held constant:

The impact on income before tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was nominal.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Company's financial assets or liabilities. As the Company operates in Canada and the U.S., fluctuations in the exchange rate between the US/Canadian dollars can have a significant effect on reported results. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to its US dollar denominated senior guaranteed notes, investment in U.S. subsidiaries and in relation to its crude oil sales.
Concurrent with the issuance of US$1.48 billion senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered into CCIRS with a syndicate of financial institutions. Under the terms of the CCIRS, the US dollar amount of the notes was fixed for purposes of interest and principal repayments at a notional amount of $1.56 billion. Concurrent with the issuance of US$30.0 million senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered a cross currency principal swap which fixed the principal repayment at a notional amount of $32.2 million.

CRESCENT POINT ENERGY CORP.

The Company can partially mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange rate changes by entering into US dollar swaps. To partially mitigate the foreign exchange risk relating to crude oil sales, the Company has fixed crude oil contracts to settle in Cdn$ WTI.
The following sensitivities show the resulting unrealized gains (losses) and the impact on income before tax of the respective changes in the period end and applicable forward foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 with all other variables held constant:

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. A substantial portion of the Company's accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. The Company monitors the creditworthiness and concentration of credit with customers of its physical oil and gas sales. The Company is authorized to transact derivative contracts with counterparties rated A (or equivalent) or better, based on the lowest rating of the three ratings providers. Should one of the Company's financial counterparties be downgraded below the A rating limit, the Chief Financial Officer will advise the Audit Committee and provide recommendations to minimize the Company's credit risk to that counterparty. The maximum credit exposure associated with accounts receivable is the total carrying amount and the maximum exposure associated with the derivative instruments approximates their fair value.
To further mitigate credit risk associated with its physical sales portfolio, Crescent Point has secured credit insurance from a global credit insurance provider. This policy provides credit coverage for approximately 35 percent of the Company's physical sales portfolio. Crescent Point believes this insurance policy is a prudent component of its formal credit policies and procedures.
Approximately 2 percent of the Company's accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2015 is outstanding for more than 90 days and the Company considers the entire balance to be collectible.

(4)
Long-term debt acquired through capital acquisitions was settled on July 2, 2015 and July 8, 2015.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages its liquidity risk through cash and debt management. As disclosed in Note 15, Crescent Point's objective is to manage net debt to funds flow from operations to be well positioned to pay monthly dividends and to continue to exploit and develop its resource plays.
In managing liquidity risk, the Company has access to a wide range of funding at competitive rates through capital markets and banks. At June 30, 2015, the Company had available unused borrowing capacity on bank credit facilities of approximately $2.65 billion, including $13.7 million letters of credit drawn on the facility. Crescent Point believes it has sufficient funding to meet its foreseeable spending requirements.

Included in the Company's bank credit facilities balance of $926.4 million at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $1.3 billion) are obligations of $685.0 million (December 31, 2014 - $1.2 billion) of bankers' acceptances and obligations of $246.8 million (December 31, 2014 - $90.8 million) for borrowings under the operating and syndicated prime loans, partially offset by prepaid credit facility renewal fees of $4.6 million (December 31, 2014 - $2.6 million) and prepaid interest on bankers' acceptances of $0.8 million (December 31, 2014 - $2.1 million). These amounts are fully supported and management expects that they will continue to be supported by revolving credit facilities that have no repayment requirements until maturity, other than interest.
c)
Derivative Contracts
The Company enters into fixed price oil, gas, power, foreign currency, interest rate, cross currency interest rate, cross currency principal and crude oil differential contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil, gas, power, foreign exchange and interest on debt.

Exhibit 99.2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management's discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is dated August 12, 2015 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2015 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a full understanding of the financial position and results of operations of Crescent Point Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Crescent Point”).
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and comparative information for the period ended June 30, 2015 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), specifically International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
STRUCTURE OF THE BUSINESS
The principal undertakings of Crescent Point are to carry on the business of acquiring, developing and holding interests in petroleum and natural gas properties and assets related thereto through a general partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries. Amounts in this report are in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. References to “US$” are to United States (“US”) dollars.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Throughout this MD&A, the Company uses the terms “funds flow from operations”, “funds flow from operations per share”, “funds flow from operations per share - diluted”, “adjusted net earnings from operations”, “adjusted net earnings from operations per share”, “adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted”, "adjusted dividends", “net debt”, “netback”, “market capitalization” and “total capitalization”. These terms do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures presented by other issuers.
Funds flow from operations is calculated based on cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital, transaction costs and decommissioning expenditures. Funds flow from operations per share and funds flow from operations per share - diluted are calculated as funds flow from operations divided by the number of weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding, respectively. Management utilizes funds flow from operations as a key measure to assess the ability of the Company to finance dividends, operating activities, capital expenditures and debt repayments. Funds flow from operations as presented is not intended to represent cash flow from operating activities, net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.
The following table reconciles cash flow from operating activities to funds flow from operations:

Adjusted net earnings from operations is calculated based on net income before amortization of exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) undeveloped land, impairment to property, plant and equipment ("PP&E"), unrealized derivative gains or losses, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss on translation of US dollar senior guaranteed notes, unrealized gains or losses on long-term investments and gains or losses on capital acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted net earnings from operations per share and adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted are calculated as adjusted net earnings from operations divided by the number of weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding, respectively. Management utilizes adjusted net earnings from operations to present a measure of financial performance that is more comparable between periods. Adjusted net earnings from operations as presented is not intended to represent net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. The Company has previously referred to adjusted net earnings from operations as "operating income".

Adjusted dividends is calculated as dividends declared to shareholders less the fair value of the discount on the market value of Crescent Point common shares issued pursuant to the Company's Premium DividendTM and Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") and the Share Dividend Plan ("SDP"). Management utilizes adjusted dividends to present the value of dividends declared to shareholders if settled completely in cash.

Production increased by 10 percent and 14 percent in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to the Company's successful drilling and fracture stimulation programs and acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2014, partially offset by natural declines. The Company's weighting to oil and NGLs in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 remained consistent with the 2014 comparative periods.
On June 30, 2015, Crescent Point acquired approximately 20,000 boe/d of production in southeast Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and North Dakota from Legacy Oil + Gas Inc. ("Legacy").

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company's average selling price for oil decreased 38 percent from the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of a 44 percent decrease in the US$ WTI benchmark price which was partially offset by a weaker Canadian dollar and a corporate oil price differential that was narrower on an absolute dollar basis.
Crescent Point's corporate oil differential for the second quarter of 2015 was $11.47 per bbl, or 16 percent, compared to $14.41 per bbl, or 13 percent, in the second quarter of 2014. The Company’s corporate oil differential for the second quarter of 2015 was impacted by the weakening of prices for propane, butane and condensate. NGL production of 8,518 bbls/d for the second quarter of 2015 accounted for 6 percent of Crescent Point’s total production. The Cdn$ WTI - LSB differential and Cdn$ WTI - WCS differential remained consistent at 8 percent and 20 percent, respectively, with the same period in 2014.
In the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company's average selling price for oil decreased 44 percent from the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of a 47 percent decrease in the US$ WTI benchmark price which was partially offset by a weaker Canadian dollar and a corporate oil price differential that was narrower on an absolute dollar basis.
The Company's corporate oil differential for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $12.35 per bbl, or 19 percent, compared to $15.59 per bbl, or 14 percent, in the same period of 2014. The Company's corporate oil differential for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was impacted by a widening of light oil differentials and medium and heavy oil differentials. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Cdn$ WTI - LSB differential widened to 12 percent from 9 percent in the same period of 2014 and the Cdn$ WTI - WCS differential widened to 25 percent from 21 percent in the same period of 2014.
The Company's exposure to medium and heavy oil differentials increased in 2015 due to the Company's growing production base in southwest Saskatchewan, which is typically sold at a premium to WCS prices. The Company is also exposed to Yellow wax crude and Black wax crude oil differentials in the Uinta Basin.
To mitigate against price risks, the Company has an active 3½ year hedging program for Canadian dollar denominated WTI prices and for differentials where applicable. In addition, the Company continues to deliver crude oil through its various rail terminals to provide access to diversified markets and pricing.
The Company's average selling price for gas in the second quarter of 2015 decreased 44 percent from $5.42 per mcf in the second quarter of 2014 to $3.02 per mcf in the second quarter of 2015, primarily as a result of the 43 percent decrease in AECO daily benchmark price. The Company's average selling price for gas of $3.08 per mcf for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 decreased 45 percent from the same 2014 period, primarily as a result of the 49 percent decrease in AECO daily benchmark price and the impact of NYMEX based pricing received on the Company's Utah and North Dakota gas production.

Management of cash flow variability is an integral component of Crescent Point's business strategy. Changing business conditions are monitored regularly and reviewed with the Board of Directors to establish risk management guidelines used by management in carrying out the Company's strategic risk management program. The risk exposure inherent in movements in the price of crude oil, natural gas and power, fluctuations in the US/Cdn dollar exchange rate and interest rate movements on long-term debt are all proactively managed by Crescent Point through the use of derivatives with investment-grade counterparties. The Company considers these derivative contracts to be an effective means to manage cash flow.
The Company's crude oil and natural gas derivatives are referenced to WTI and the AECO monthly index, unless otherwise noted. Crescent Point utilizes a variety of derivatives, including swaps, collars and put options to protect against downward commodity price movements while providing the opportunity for some upside participation during periods of rising prices. For commodities, Crescent Point's risk management program allows for hedging a forward profile of 3½ years, and up to 65 percent, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, net of royalty interest production.

With ongoing volatility of price differentials between WTI and western Canadian crude prices, Crescent Point includes the hedging of price differentials as a component of the Company's risk management programs. The Company uses a combination of financial derivatives and fixed differential physical contracts to hedge these price differentials. For price differential hedging, Crescent Point's risk management program allows for hedging a forward profile of 3½ years, and up to 35 percent net of royalty interest production.
The Company recorded total realized derivative gains of $112.9 million and $279.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to total realized derivative losses of $72.6 million and $129.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2014.
The Company's realized derivative gain for oil was $109.7 million and $273.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to realized derivative losses of $70.6 million and $125.7 million for the same periods in 2014. The realized derivative gains in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are largely attributable to a decrease in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price, partially offset by the decrease in the Company's average derivative oil price. The realized derivative gain for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was also partially offset by the decrease in oil volumes hedged. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company's average derivative oil price decreased by 11 percent or $10.72 per bbl, from $100.24 per bbl in 2014 to $89.52 per bbl in 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company's average derivative oil price decreased by 10 percent or $10.47 per bbl, from $100.15 per bbl in 2014 to $89.68 per bbl in 2015.
Crescent Point's realized derivative gain for gas was $3.2 million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to realized derivative losses of $1.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2014. The realized derivative gains in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are largely attributable to the decrease in the AECO monthly index price and the increase in gas volumes hedged as a result of increased production. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company's average derivative gas price remained consistent with the same periods in 2014 at $3.58 per GJ and $3.60 per GJ, respectively.
The Company has not designated any of its risk management activities as accounting hedges under International Accounting Standard 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and, accordingly, has recorded its derivatives at fair value.

The Company recognized a total unrealized derivative loss of $359.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $81.6 million in the same period in 2014, primarily due to a $302.6 million unrealized derivative loss on crude oil contracts in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2014. The unrealized oil derivative loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to the increase in the Cdn$ WTI forward benchmark price at June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015 and the maturity of in the money contract months. The unrealized oil derivative loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to the increase in the Cdn$ WTI forward benchmark price at June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014.
The total unrealized derivative loss in the second quarter of 2015 was also partially attributable to a $55.5 million unrealized derivative loss on Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps (“CCIRS”) compared to $40.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. The unrealized CCIRS derivative loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of the stronger forward Canadian dollar at June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015. The unrealized CCIRS derivative loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily the result of the stronger forward Canadian dollar at June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized a total unrealized derivative loss of $312.5 million compared to $217.8 million in the same period in 2014, primarily due to a $390.8 million unrealized derivative loss on crude oil contracts in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $205.7 million for the same period of 2014. The unrealized oil derivative loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to the maturity of in the money contract months and the increase in the near-term Cdn$ WTI forward benchmark price at June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. The unrealized oil derivative loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to the increase in the Cdn$ WTI forward benchmark price at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013.
The total unrealized derivative loss in the six months ended June 30, 2015 was partially offset by a $74.7 million unrealized derivative gain on CCIRS compared to a $5.6 million unrealized derivative loss in the same period of 2014. The unrealized CCIRS derivative gain for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of the weaker forward Canadian dollar at June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. The unrealized CCIRS derivative loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily the result of the slightly stronger long-term forward Canadian dollar at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013.

Revenue is reported before realized derivatives and transportation.
Crude oil and NGL sales decreased 32 percent in the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $1.1 billion in 2014 to $753.3 million in 2015, primarily due to the 38 percent decrease in realized prices, partially offset by the 10 percent increase in crude oil and NGL production. The decrease in realized prices is largely a result of the 36 percent decrease in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price as compared to the second quarter of 2014 and a wider corporate oil differential. The increased production in the second quarter of 2015 is primarily due to the Company's successful drilling and fracture stimulation programs and acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2014.
Crude oil and NGL sales decreased 36 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $2.1 billion in 2014 to $1.3 billion in 2015, primarily due to the 44 percent decrease in realized prices, partially offset by the 14 percent increase in crude oil and NGL production. The decrease in realized prices is largely a result of the 41 percent decrease in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price as compared to the first half of 2014 and a wider corporate oil differential. The increased production in the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to the Company's successful drilling and fracture stimulation programs and acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2014.
Natural gas sales decreased 36 percent and 35 percent in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same 2014 periods. The decreases are primarily due to the 44 percent and 45 percent decreases in realized natural gas prices, partially offset by the 16 percent and 17 percent increases in natural gas production for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The decreases in realized natural gas prices are largely due to the decreases in the AECO daily benchmark prices. The increased natural gas production in 2015 is primarily due to successful drilling in Viewfield and Utah, partially offset by natural declines.

Royalties decreased 41 percent and 43 percent in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. These decreases are largely due to the 32 percent and 36 percent decreases in oil and gas sales and the 3 percent and 2 percent decreases in royalties as a percentage of sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.
Royalties as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased primarily due to the impact of the decrease in benchmark prices on crown royalty formulas and the unfavorable prior period adjustments recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Royalties as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased primarily due to the impact of the decrease in benchmark prices on crown royalty formulas.

The Company has senior guaranteed notes with aggregate principals of US$1.51 billion and Cdn$197.0 million. The Company records unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on the revaluation of the US denominated senior guaranteed notes and related accrued interest. During the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $31.0 million and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $99.7 million, respectively, on translation of US dollar senior guaranteed notes and accrued interest compared to an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $38.9 million and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $2.0 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2014. The unrealized foreign exchange gain from the translation of US dollar senior guaranteed notes and accrued interest in the second quarter of 2015 is attributable to a stronger Canadian dollar at June 30, 2015 as compared to March 31, 2015. The unrealized foreign exchange loss from the translation of US dollar senior guaranteed notes and accrued interest for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is attributable to a weaker Canadian dollar at June 30, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company realized foreign exchange gains of $1.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, on the settlement of the CCIRS associated with interest payments made on the US dollar senior guaranteed notes, compared to losses of $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in the same periods in 2014. The realized foreign exchange gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are primarily due to the weaker Canadian dollar in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014.

Funds flow from operations decreased to $524.3 million in the second quarter of 2015 from $636.7 million in the same period in 2014 and decreased to $1.14 per share - diluted from $1.55 per share - diluted. The decrease in funds flow from operations is primarily the result of the decrease in the netback, partially offset by the increase in production volumes. The netback decreased due to the decrease in average selling price largely due to the decrease in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price and a wider corporate oil differential, partially offset by the realized gain on derivatives and the decrease in royalties, operating expenses and transportation expenses. Production volumes increased due to the Company's successful drilling and fracture stimulation programs and acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2014. Funds flow from operations per share - diluted decreased in the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to the reasons discussed above and the impact of shares issued through the September 2014 and June 2015 equity offerings and the Company's DRIP and SDP.

Cash flow from operating activities decreased 24 percent to $491.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $646.5 million in the same period in 2014, for the same reasons as discussed above and fluctuations in working capital, transaction costs and decommissioning expenditures. Cash flow from operating activities per share - diluted decreased 32 percent to $1.07 per share - diluted in the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to the reasons discussed above and the impact of shares issued through the September 2014 and June 2015 equity offerings and the Company's DRIP and SDP. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash flow from operating activities decreased 27 percent to $890.3 million compared to $1.2 billion in the same period in 2014, for the same reasons as discussed above and fluctuations in working capital, transaction costs and decommissioning expenditures. Cash flow from operating activities per share - diluted decreased 35 percent to $1.96 per share - diluted in the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to the reasons discussed above and the impact of shares issued through the September 2014 and June 2015 equity offerings and the Company's DRIP and SDP.
The Company reported adjusted net earnings of $40.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $174.6 million in the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of the decrease in funds flow from operations, an increase in depletion expense and fluctuations in deferred taxes, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense. Adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted decreased 79 percent to $0.09 per share - diluted in the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to the same reasons discussed above and the impact of shares issued through the September 2014 and June 2015 equity offerings and the Company's DRIP and SDP.
Adjusted net earnings for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was $68.6 million compared to $380.7 million in the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of the decrease in funds flow from operations and increase in depletion expense, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense and fluctuations in deferred taxes. Adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted decreased 84 percent to $0.15 per share - diluted in the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to the same reasons discussed above and the impact of shares issued through the September 2014 and June 2015 equity offerings and the Company's DRIP and SDP.
The Company reported a net loss of $240.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to net income of $98.6 million in the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of the increase in unrealized derivative losses, decrease in funds flow from operations and other losses, partially offset by the deferred tax recovery and the decrease in share-based compensation. In the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported a net loss of $286.5 million compared to net income of $129.5 million in the same period of 2014. The decrease in net income is largely due to the decrease in funds flow from operations, increase in unrealized foreign exchange losses, unrealized derivative losses and depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by the deferred tax recovery and decrease in share-based compensation.
As noted in the Derivatives section, the Company has not designated any of its risk management activities as accounting hedges under IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and, accordingly, has recorded its derivatives at fair value.
Crescent Point uses financial commodity derivatives, including swaps, collars and put options, to reduce the volatility of the selling price of its crude oil and natural gas production. This provides a measure of stability to the Company's cash flow and the ability to fund dividends over time. The Company's commodity derivatives portfolio extends out 3½ years from the current quarter.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, gives guidelines for accounting for financial derivatives not designated as accounting hedges. Financial derivatives that have not settled during the current quarter are fair valued. The change in fair value from the previous quarter represents a gain or loss that is recorded in net income. As such, if benchmark oil and natural gas prices rise during the quarter, the Company records a loss based on the change in price multiplied by the volume of oil and natural gas hedged. If prices fall during the quarter, the Company records a gain. The prices used to record the actual gain or loss are subject to an adjustment for volatility and the resulting gain (asset) or loss (liability) is discounted to a present value using a risk free rate adjusted for counterparty credit risk.
Crescent Point's underlying physical reserves are not fair valued each quarter, hence no gain or loss associated with price changes is recorded; the Company realizes the benefit/detriment of any price increase/decrease in the period which the physical sales occur.
The Company's financial results should be viewed with the understanding that the future gain or loss on financial derivatives is recorded in the current period's results, while the future value of the underlying physical sales is not.

The Company maintained monthly dividends of $0.23 per share during the first half of 2015.
Dividends increased 15 percent in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014. The increases in dividends relates to an increase in the number of shares outstanding primarily due to the bought deal financings which closed in September 2014 and June 2015, the issuance of shares on the Legacy and T.Bird Oil Ltd. acquisitions and issuances to shareholders pursuant to the DRIP and SDP in lieu of cash dividends.
Crescent Point believes it is well positioned to pay monthly dividends as the Company continues to exploit and develop its resource plays. Crescent Point's risk management strategy minimizes exposure to commodity price volatility and provides a measure of sustainability to dividends through periods of fluctuating market prices.

The net debt reflects the financing of acquisitions, however, the funds flow from operations only reflects funds flow from operations generated from the acquired properties since the closing date of the acquisitions.
At June 30, 2015, Crescent Point was capitalized with 76 percent equity compared to 79 percent at December 31, 2014. The Company's net debt to funds flow from operations ratio at June 30, 2015 was 1.9 times, compared to 1.3 times at December 31, 2014. This increase is largely due to the increase in average debt as a result of the Company's development capital expenditures and the increase in net debt from the acquisition of Legacy, however, the funds flow from operations only reflects funds flow from operations generated from the acquired properties since the closing date of the acquisition. Crescent Point's objective is to manage net debt to funds flow from operations to be well positioned to pay monthly dividends and to continue to exploit and develop its resources plays.
Net debt is calculated as long-term debt plus accounts payable and accrued liabilities and dividends payable, less cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and deposits and long-term investments, excluding the equity settled component of dividends payable and unrealized foreign exchange on translation of US dollar senior guaranteed notes.
The Company has a syndicated unsecured credit facility with sixteen banks and an operating credit facility with one Canadian chartered bank totaling $3.6 billion. The syndicated unsecured credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the facility by up to $500.0 million. As at June 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $945.5 million drawn on bank credit facilities, including $13.7 million outstanding pursuant to letters of credit, leaving unutilized borrowing capacity of approximately $2.65 billion.
The Company has closed private offerings of senior guaranteed notes raising total gross proceeds of US$1.51 billion and Cdn$197.0 million. The notes are unsecured and rank pari passu with the Company's bank credit facilities and carry a bullet repayment on maturity. Concurrent with the issuance of US$1.48 billion senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered into cross currency interest rate swaps (''CCIRS'') with a syndicate of financial institutions. To manage the Company's foreign exchange risk, the CCIRS fix the US dollar amount of the notes for purposes of interest and principal repayments at a notional amount of $1.56 billion. Concurrent with the issuance of US$30.0 million senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered a cross currency principal swap which fixed the principal repayment at a notional amount of $32.2 million.
At June 30, 2015, long-term debt included $983.7 million acquired from the Legacy acquisition. The debt consisted of $685.1 million drawn on a bank credit facility, settled July 2, 2015, and the fair value of a credit note, including the change of control payment, of $298.6 million, settled on July 8, 2015.
The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2015 and the following table lists the financial covenants as at June 30, 2015:

On July 20, 2015, Crescent Point filed a short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus”) with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, and a corresponding registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System. The Prospectus will allow Crescent Point to offer and issue common shares, subscription receipts, warrants, options and debt securities by way of one or more Prospectus Supplements at any time during the 25-month period that the Prospectus remains in place up to an aggregate offering amount of $2.5 billion. The securities may be issued from time to time, at the discretion of Crescent Point, and the ability to issue securities will be subject to market conditions at the time any securities are offered.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no changes in Crescent Point's critical accounting estimates in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Further information on the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Changes in Accounting Policies
In future accounting periods, the Company will adopt the following IFRS:
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. The standard is required to be adopted either retrospectively or using a modified transaction approach. In July 2015, the IASB announced an amendment to IFRS 15, deferring the effective date of the standard by one year to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption still permitted. IFRS 15 will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - IFRS 9 was amended in July 2014 to include guidance to assess and recognize impairment losses on financial assets based on an expected loss model. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with earlier adoption permitted. This amendment will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on the consolidated financial statements.

Working capital deficiency is calculated as accounts payable and accrued liabilities plus dividends payable, less cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and deposits and long-term investments, excluding the equity settled component of dividends payable.
(2)
Capital expenditures exclude capitalized share-based compensation and the non-cash lease inducement and include capital acquisitions. Capital acquisitions represent total consideration for the transactions including long-term debt and working capital assumed, and excludes transaction costs.
Over the past eight quarters, the Company's oil and gas sales have fluctuated due to increases in production, movement in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price and fluctuations in corporate oil price differentials. The Company's production has generally increased due to a successful drilling program and several business combinations.
Net income has fluctuated primarily due to changes in funds flow from operations, unrealized derivative gains and losses, which fluctuate with the changes in forward market prices, and impairments to property, plant and equipment recorded in the fourth quarters of 2013 and 2014, along with associated fluctuations in the deferred tax expense (recovery).
Adjusted net earnings from operations has fluctuated over the past eight quarters primarily due to changes in funds flow from operations, depletion, impairments recorded in the fourth quarters of 2013 and 2014, and share-based compensation expense along with associated fluctuations in the deferred tax expense (recovery).

CRESCENT POINT ENERGY CORP.

Capital expenditures fluctuated through this period as a result of timing of acquisitions and the Company's development drilling program. Funds flow from operations and cash flow from operating activities throughout the last eight quarters has allowed the Company to pay monthly dividends.
Internal Control Update
Crescent Point is required to comply with Multilateral Instrument 52-109 “Certification of Disclosure on Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings”. The certificate requires that Crescent Point disclose in the interim MD&A any weaknesses in Crescent Point's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect Crescent Point's internal controls over financial reporting. Crescent Point confirms that no such weaknesses were identified in Crescent Point's internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2015.
Outlook
Crescent Point's revised guidance for 2015 is as follows and assumes the successful completion of the Coral Hill arrangement on or about August 14, 2015:

Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements contained in this management's discussion and analysis constitute forward-looking statements and are based on Crescent Point's beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the assumption was made. By its nature, such forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. The Company believes the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. These statements are effective only as of the date of this report.
Certain statements contained in this report, including statements related to Crescent Point's capital expenditures, projected asset growth, view and outlook toward future commodity prices, drilling activity and statements that contain words such as "could", "should", "can", "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "will", "may", “projected”, “sustain”, “continues”, “strategy”, “potential”, “projects”, “grow”, “take advantage”, “estimate”, “well positioned” and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. The material assumptions and factors in making these forward-looking statements are disclosed in this MD&A under the headings "Marketing and Prices", “Dividends”, “Capital Expenditures”, “Decommissioning Liability”, “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, “Critical Accounting Estimates”, “Changes in Accounting Policies” and “Outlook”.
In particular, forward-looking statements include:
l
Crescent Point’s 2015 guidance as outlined in the Outlook section and ability to meet planned growth and development targets;
l
Anticipated future operating, abandonment and decommissioning costs;
 
 
l
Pay monthly dividends;
l
Estimated future usable tax pools and anticipated
l
The anticipated impact of the use of financial commodity derivatives and fixed differential physical contracts on the stability of cashflows;
 
taxability;
 
l
Expected tax horizon; and
l
Meeting planned capital and development targets and continue to generate strong operating and financial results;
l
Anticipated closing of the Coral Hill acquisition.
 
 
All of the material assumptions underlying these statements are noted in the "Marketing and Prices", “Dividends”, “Capital Expenditures”, Decommissioning Liability”, “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, “Critical Accounting Estimates” and “Outlook” sections of this report.
The following are examples of references to forward-looking information:
l
Volume and product mix of Crescent Point's oil and gas production;
l
Future results from operations and operating metrics;
l
Future oil and gas prices in respect of Crescent Point's commodity risk management programs;
l
Future development, exploration and other expenditures;
l
The amount and timing of future decommissioning liabilities;
l
Future costs, expenses and royalty rates;
l
Future liquidity and financial capacity;
l
Future tax rates; and
l
Future interest rates and exchange rates;
l
The Company's tax pools.
This information contains certain forward-looking estimates that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond Crescent Point's control. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: financial risk of marketing reserves at an acceptable price given market conditions; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; delays in business operations, pipeline restrictions, blowouts; the risk of carrying out operations with minimal environmental impact; industry conditions including changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; risks and uncertainties related to oil and gas interests and operations on tribal lands; economic risk of finding and producing reserves at a reasonable cost; uncertainties associated with partner plans and approvals; operational matters related to non-operated properties; increased competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and undeveloped lands; competition for and availability of qualified personnel or management; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions and exploration and development programs; unexpected geological, technical, drilling, construction, processing and transportation problems; availability of insurance; fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility; general economic, market and business conditions; uncertainties associated with regulatory approvals; uncertainty of government policy changes; uncertainties associated with credit facilities and counterparty credit risk; changes in income tax laws, tax laws, crown royalty rates and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry; and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company. Therefore, Crescent Point's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking estimates and if such actual results, performance or achievements transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, there can be no certainty as to what benefits or detriments Crescent Point will derive therefrom.

Barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
