NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    
March 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)
1.
STRUCTURE OF THE BUSINESS
The principal undertaking of Crescent Point Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Crescent Point”) is 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 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 May 11, 2016.
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, 2015. 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, 2015.
The policies applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of May 11, 2016, 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 September 2015, the IASB amended 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.
IFRS 16 Leases - IFRS 16 was issued January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 Leases. The standard introduces a single lessee accounting model for leases with required recognition of assets and liabilities for most leases. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted if the Company is also applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. IFRS 16 will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company entered into cross currency swaps ("CCS") and a foreign exchange swap concurrent with the issuance of the US senior guaranteed notes to fix the US dollar amount of the notes for the purpose of principal repayment at Canadian dollar notional amounts. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total principal due on the maturity of the senior guaranteed notes is $1.79 billion.
Bank Debt
The Company has a syndicated unsecured credit facility with sixteen banks and an operating credit facility with one Canadian chartered bank, for a total amount available under the combined facilities of $3.6 billion. The syndicated unsecured credit facility also includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the facility by up to $500.0 million under certain conditions. The syndicated unsecured credit facility constitutes a revolving credit facility for a three year term which is extendible annually; the current maturity date is June 8, 2018. The operating credit facility constitutes a revolving facility for a three year term which is extendible annually; the current maturity date is June 8, 2018.
The credit facilities bear interest at the applicable market rate plus a margin based on a sliding scale ratio of the Company's senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depletion, depreciation, amortization and impairment, adjusted for certain non-cash items including unrealized derivatives, unrealized foreign exchange, share-based compensation expense and accretion ("EBITDA").
The credit facilities and senior guaranteed notes have covenants which restrict the Company's ratio of senior debt to EBITDA to a maximum of 3.5:1.0, the ratio of total debt to EBITDA to a maximum of 4.0:1.0 and the ratio of senior debt to capital, adjusted for certain non-cash items as noted above, to a maximum of 0.55:1.0. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2016.
The Company had letters of credit in the amount of $13.8 million outstanding at March 31, 2016.
The Company manages its credit facilities through a combination of bankers' acceptance loans, US dollar LIBOR loans and interest rate swaps.

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.
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 the 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 measure not defined in IFRS, 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 unrealized foreign exchange on translation of hedged US dollar long-term debt. 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 March 31, 2016 was 2.3 times (December 31, 2015 - 2.2 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, decommissioning 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. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, the Company can hedge benchmark prices on up to 65 percent of after royalty volumes using a portfolio of swaps, collars and put option instruments and can hedge price differentials on up to 35 percent of after royalty volumes using a combination of financial derivatives and fixed differential physical contracts.
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 March 31, 2016. See Note 11 - "Long-term Debt" for additional information regarding the Company's financial covenant requirements.

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 the investment in a private company is based primarily on recent trading activity in the relevant company's common shares. The Company's finance department is responsible for performing the valuation of financial instruments, including the calculation of Level 3 fair values.
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 bear interest at floating rates and credit spreads that are indicative of market rates. These financial instruments are classified as financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost and are reported at amortized cost.
The following table summarizes the carrying value of the Company's remaining financial assets and liabilities as compared to their respective fair values as of March 31, 2016:

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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

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.
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 to 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 March 31, 2016, Crescent Point had committed, on a term contract basis, to deliver an average of approximately 22,500 bbl/d of crude oil from April 2016 to December 2016, 6,000 bbl/d of crude oil for calendar 2017, 5,500 bbl/d of crude oil for calendar 2018 and 2,500 bbls/d of crude oil for calendar 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 enters 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 March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 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 near-term 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 market interest rates. Based on the Company's floating rate debt position at March 31, 2016, a one percent increase or decrease in the interest rate on floating rate debt would amount to a $4.7 million impact on income before tax in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

CRESCENT POINT ENERGY CORP.

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 March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 with all other variables held constant:

The impact on income before tax for the three months ended March 31, 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 long-term debt, investment in U.S. subsidiaries and in relation to its crude oil sales.
Concurrent with the drawdown of US$960.0 million of LIBOR loans under the bank credit facilities and the issuance of US$1.48 billion senior guaranteed notes, the Company has entered into various CCS to hedge its foreign exchange exposure. Under the terms of the CCS, the US dollar amounts of the LIBOR loans and senior guaranteed notes were fixed for purposes of interest and principal repayments at notional amounts of $1.30 billion and $1.56 billion, respectively. Concurrent with the issuance of US$30.0 million senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered a foreign exchange swap which fixed the principal repayment at a notional amount of $32.2 million.
The Company can partially mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange rate changes by entering into US dollar swaps. To partially mitigate the foreign exchange risk relating to crude oil sales, the Company has fixed crude oil contracts to settle in Cdn$ 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 March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 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. To mitigate credit risk associated with its physical sales portfolio, Crescent Point obtains financial assurances such as parental guarantees, letters of credit and third party credit insurance. Including these assurances, approximately 96% of the Company's oil and gas sales are with entities considered investment grade.
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.
Approximately 5 percent of the Company's accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2016 was outstanding for more than 90 days and the Company considers the entire balance to be collectible.

These amounts include the notional principal and interest payments pursuant to the related CCS and foreign exchange swap, which fix the amounts due in Canadian dollars.
(3)
These amounts include interest based on debt outstanding and interest rates effective as at March 31, 2016. The current maturity date of the Company's facilities is June 8, 2018. The Company expects that the facility will be renewed and extended prior to the maturity date.
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 managing its capital structure and continuously monitoring forecast cash flows and available credit under existing banking arrangements as well as other potential sources of capital.
At March 31, 2016, the Company had available unused borrowing capacity on bank credit facilities of approximately $1.3 billion, including $13.8 million letters of credit drawn on the facility. Crescent Point believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its foreseeable spending requirements.

Derivative Contracts
The Company enters into fixed price oil, gas, power, interest rate, cross currency, foreign exchange 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 May 11, 2016 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2016 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 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 March 31, 2016 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 undertaking of Crescent Point is 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”, “net debt”, “netback”, “market capitalization” and “enterprise value”. 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 or impairment recoveries on property, plant and equipment ("PP&E"), unrealized derivative gains or losses, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss on translation of hedged US dollar long-term debt, 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".

Netback is calculated on a per boe basis as oil and gas sales, less royalties, operating and transportation expenses and realized derivative gains and losses. Netback is used by management to measure operating results on a per boe basis to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.
Market capitalization is calculated by applying the period end closing share trading price to the number of shares outstanding. Market capitalization is an indication of enterprise value.
Enterprise value is calculated as market capitalization plus net debt. Management uses enterprise value to assess the valuation of the Company. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section in this MD&A for further information.
Management believes the presentation of the Non-GAAP measures above provide useful information to investors and shareholders as the measures provide increased transparency and the ability to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.

Production increased by 16 percent to 178,241 boe/d in the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 153,854 boe/d in the same period in 2015, primarily due to acquisitions completed in the second and third quarters of 2015, utilization of Pembina Pipeline Corporation's ("Pembina") Saskatchewan Ethane Extraction Plant ("SEEP") in southeast Saskatchewan and the Company's successful capital development program, partially offset by natural declines. The Company's weighting to crude oil and NGLs remained consistent with the comparative period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company's average selling price for oil decreased 25 percent from the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of a 31 percent decrease in the US$ WTI benchmark price and a wider corporate oil price differential, partially offset by a weaker Canadian dollar. Crescent Point's corporate oil differential compared to Cdn$ WTI for the first quarter of 2016 was 21 percent, or $9.65 per bbl, compared to 19 percent, or $11.32 per bbl, in the first quarter of 2015.
The Company’s oil differential for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was impacted by a widening of medium and heavy oil differentials. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Cdn$ WTI - WCS differential widened to 43 percent from 30 percent in the same period of 2015 while the Cdn$ WTI - LSB differential remained consistent. Western Canadian Select differentials continued to be impacted by the oversupply in North American production and constraints to pipeline take away capacity out of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
The Company's exposure to medium and heavy oil differentials is due to the Company's production base in southwest Saskatchewan, which is typically sold at a premium to WCS prices, and the Company's production base in the Uinta Basin which exposes the Company to Yellow wax crude and Black wax crude oil differentials.
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.
In the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company's average selling price for NGLs decreased 47 percent from $15.97 per bbl in the first quarter of 2015 to $8.49 per bbl in 2016, primarily due to the significant weakening of propane, butane and condensate prices resulting from the decrease in crude oil prices and the continued oversupply of liquids in North America.
The Company's average selling price for gas in the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased 35 percent from $3.15 per mcf in the first quarter of 2015 to $2.04 per mcf in 2016, primarily as a result of the 34 percent decrease in the AECO daily benchmark price.

GJ/d is defined as gigajoules per day.
Management of cash flow variability is an integral component of Crescent Point's business strategy. Changing business and market 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 rates are all proactively managed by Crescent Point through the use of derivatives with investment-grade counterparties.
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 of net royalty interest production, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors.
With ongoing volatility of price differentials between WTI and western Canadian crude prices, Crescent Point hedges price differentials as a part of its risk management program. 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 a total realized derivative gain of $212.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $166.4 million in the same period in 2015.

The Company's realized derivative gain for oil was $207.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $164.3 million for the same period in 2015. The realized derivative gain in 2016 is largely attributable to the decrease in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price and the $42.0 million realized gain from the unwind and settlement of a portion of the Company's 2017 and 2018 hedges, partially offset by the decrease in oil volumes hedged and the decrease in the Company's average derivative oil price. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company's average derivative oil price decreased by 4 percent or $3.24 per bbl, from $90.59 per bbl in 2015 to $87.35 per bbl in 2016.
Crescent Point's realized derivative gain for gas was $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2015. The realized derivative gain in 2016 is largely attributable to the decrease in the AECO monthly index price. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company's average derivative gas price remained consistent at $3.62 per GJ compared to $3.60 per GJ in 2015.
The Company has not designated any of its risk management activities as accounting hedges under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and, accordingly, has recorded its derivatives at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income.

The Company recognized a total unrealized derivative loss of $298.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to a total unrealized derivative gain of $46.6 million in the same period in 2015. The total unrealized derivative loss in the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a $211.3 million unrealized derivative loss on Cross Currency Swaps ("CCS") compared to an unrealized derivative gain of $130.1 million in 2015. The unrealized CCS derivative loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily the result of the stronger forward Canadian dollar at March 31, 2016 and the maturity of in-the-money contract months. The unrealized CCS derivative gain for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily the result of the weaker forward Canadian dollar at March 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014.
The total unrealized derivative loss in the first quarter of 2016 was also attributable to a $90.5 million unrealized derivative loss on crude oil contracts compared to an $88.2 million unrealized derivative loss in the first quarter of 2015. The unrealized oil derivative loss in the first quarter of 2016 is primarily attributable to the unwind and settlement of a portion of the Company's 2017 and 2018 hedges and the maturity of in-the-money contract months, partially offset by the decrease in the Cdn$ WTI forward benchmark price at March 31, 2016 as compared to December 31, 2015. The unrealized oil derivative loss in the first quarter of 2015 is primarily attributable to the maturity of in-the-money contract months, partially offset by the decrease in the Cdn$ WTI forward benchmark price at March 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014.

Crude oil sales decreased 18 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $579.0 million in 2015 to $475.2 million in 2016, primarily due to the 25 percent decrease in realized prices, partially offset by the 9 percent increase in crude oil production. The decrease in realized prices is largely a result of the 23 percent decrease in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price as compared to the first quarter of 2015 and a wider corporate oil differential. The increased production in the first quarter of 2016 is primarily due to acquisitions completed in the second and third quarters of 2015 and the Company's successful capital development program.
NGL sales increased 16 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to the 116 percent increase in NGL production, partially offset by the 47 percent decrease in realized prices. The increased production is primarily due to acquisitions completed in the second quarter of 2015 and utilization of Pembina's SEEP in southeast Saskatchewan. Realized prices in the first quarter of 2016 were negatively impacted by the significant weakening of prices for propane, butane and condensate resulting from the decrease in crude oil prices and the continued oversupply of liquids in North America.

Natural gas sales decreased 17 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to the 35 percent decrease in realized natural gas prices, partially offset by the 27 percent increase in natural gas production. The decrease in the realized natural gas price is largely due to the decrease in the AECO daily benchmark price. The increased natural gas production in the first quarter of 2016 is primarily due to acquisitions completed in the second quarter of 2015.

The Company's netback for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased 21 percent to $27.49 per boe from $35.01 per boe in the same period in 2015. The decrease in the Company's netback is primarily the result of the decrease in average selling price largely due to the decrease in the Cdn$ WTI benchmark price and a wider corporate oil differential, partially offset by the decreases in royalties, operating and transportation expenses and the increase in realized gain on derivatives.

General and administrative expenses per boe increased 2 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to the decrease in overhead recoveries from partners associated with lower capital spending and provisions for bad debts, partially offset by decreases in employee related and information technology costs.
General and administrative expenses increased 19 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase is primarily due to the growth of the Company and the increase in general and administrative expenses per boe as noted above.
Transaction costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2016 relate primarily to minor property acquisitions. Refer to the Capital Acquisitions section in this MD&A for further information.

Interest expense increased 23 percent and interest expense per boe increased 5 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, reflecting the Company's higher average debt balance, partially offset by a lower effective interest rate. The Company's effective interest rate in the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased to 4.17 percent as compared to 4.55 percent in the same period in 2015 due to the Company's management of its credit facilities through a combination of bankers' acceptance loans and US dollar denominated LIBOR loans and lower underlying market interest rates.
Crescent Point actively manages interest rate exposure through a combination of interest rate swaps and a debt portfolio including short-term floating rate bank debt and long-term fixed rate senior guaranteed notes. At March 31, 2016, 57 percent of the Company's long-term debt had fixed interest rates.

The Company has US dollar denominated debt including LIBOR loans under its bank credit facilities and US dollar senior guaranteed notes. Concurrent with the drawdown of US$960.0 million of LIBOR loans and the issuance of US$1.48 billion senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered into various CCS to hedge its foreign exchange exposure. Under the terms of the CCS, the US dollar amounts of the LIBOR loans and senior guaranteed notes were fixed for purposes of interest and principal repayments at notional amounts of $1.30 billion and $1.56 billion, respectively. Concurrent with the issuance of US$30.0 million senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered a foreign exchange swap which fixed the principal repayment at a notional amount of $32.2 million. The unrealized derivative loss on the CCS and foreign exchange swap is recognized in derivative losses. Refer to the Derivatives section in this MD&A for further information.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company realized a gain of $1.4 million on the settlement of the CCS associated with interest payments made on US dollar long-term debt, compared to $1.1 million in the same period in 2015. The increased realized gain for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily due to the weaker Canadian dollar in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company realized a gain of $20.0 million on the settlement of the CCS associated with the principal repayments made on matured US dollar long-term debt, fully offsetting the foreign exchange losses realized on the underlying principal repayment.
The Company records unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on the revaluation of the US dollar long-term debt and related accrued interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $241.6 million on the translation of US dollar long-term debt and accrued interest compared to an unrealized loss of $130.7 million in the same period in 2015. The unrealized foreign exchange gain from the translation of US dollar long-term debt and accrued interest in the first quarter of 2016 is attributable to a stronger Canadian dollar at March 31, 2016 as compared to December 31, 2015. The unrealized foreign exchange loss from the translation of US dollar long-term debt and accrued interest for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is attributable to a weaker Canadian dollar at March 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded share-based compensation costs of $22.1 million, a decrease of 15 percent from the same period 2015. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in expenses associated with incentive awards and base compensation restricted shares as a result of the decrease in the Company's share price.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company capitalized share-based compensation costs of $3.8 million, a decrease of 38 percent from the same period in 2015. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in expenses associated with incentive awards and base compensation restricted shares as a result of the decrease in the Company's share price.
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.

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 decreases in royalties, operating and transportation expenses and the increase in realized gain on derivatives. Production volumes increased due to acquisitions completed in the second and third quarters of 2015 and the Company's successful capital development program. Funds flow from operations per share - diluted decreased in the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to the reasons discussed above and the impact of shares issued through the June 2015 equity offering.
Cash flow from operating activities decreased 18 percent to $328.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $398.9 million in the same period in 2015, 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 27 percent to $0.65 per share - diluted in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to the reasons discussed above and the impact of shares issued through the June 2015 equity offering.
The Company reported an adjusted net loss from operations of $5.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to adjusted net earnings from operations of $28.3 million in the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of the decrease in funds flow from operations and the increase in depletion expense, partially offset by fluctuations in deferred taxes and foreign exchange gains on translation of unhedged US dollar long-term debt. The Company also reported an adjusted net loss from operations per share - diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $0.01 per share - diluted compared to adjusted net earnings from operations per share - diluted of $0.06 per share - diluted in the same period in 2015, primarily due to the same reasons discussed above and the impact of shares issued through the June 2015 equity offering.
The Company reported a net loss of $87.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to a net loss of $46.0 million in the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of unrealized derivative losses, the decreases in funds flow from operations and other income and the increase in depletion, depreciation and amortization, partially offset by foreign exchange gains and fluctuations in deferred taxes.

As noted in the Derivatives section, the Company has not designated any of its risk management activities as accounting hedges under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, and, accordingly, has recorded its derivatives at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income.
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 in which the physical sales occur.
The Company's financial results should be viewed with the understanding that the estimated future gain or loss on financial derivatives is recorded in the current period's results, while the estimated future value of the underlying physical sales is not.

Dividends decreased 63 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in dividends relates primarily to the reduction in the dividends declared to shareholders to $0.23 per share in the first quarter of 2016 from $0.69 per share in the same period in 2015. This was partially offset by the increase in the number of shares outstanding primarily due to the bought deal financing which closed in June 2015 and the issuance of shares on the acquisitions of Legacy Oil + Gas Inc. and Coral Hill Energy Ltd.
In March 2016, the Company announced a reduction in the monthly dividend declared to shareholders from $0.10 per share to $0.03 per share.

At March 31, 2016, Crescent Point's enterprise value increased to $13.4 billion and the Company was capitalized with 68 percent equity compared to $12.4 billion and 66 percent at December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company's net debt to funds flow from operations ratio at March 31, 2016 was 2.3 times, compared to 2.2 times at December 31, 2015. This increase is largely due to the drop in commodity prices which has resulted in lower funds flow from operations and higher leverage. Crescent Point's objective is to manage net debt to funds flow from operations to be well positioned to maximize shareholder return with long-term growth plus dividend income.
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 under certain conditions. As at March 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $2.3 billion drawn on bank credit facilities, including $13.8 million outstanding pursuant to letters of credit, leaving unutilized borrowing capacity of approximately $1.3 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 drawdown of US$960.0 million of LIBOR loans under the bank credit facilities and the issuance of US$1.48 billion senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered into various CCS to hedge its foreign exchange exposure. Under the terms of the CCS, the US dollar amounts of the LIBOR loans and senior guaranteed notes were fixed for purposes of interest and principal repayments at notional amounts of $1.30 billion and $1.56 billion, respectively. Concurrent with the issuance of US$30.0 million senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered a foreign exchange swap which fixed the principal repayment at a notional amount of $32.2 million.
The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2016 which are listed in the table below:

Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no changes in Crescent Point's critical accounting estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2016. 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, 2015.
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 September 2015, the IASB amended 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.
IFRS 16 Leases - IFRS 16 was issued January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 Leases. The standard introduces a single lessee accounting model for leases with required recognition of assets and liabilities for most leases. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted if the Company is also applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. IFRS 16 will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

(1)
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 capitalized 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 successful capital development 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 PP&E recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 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 and share-based compensation expense along with associated fluctuations in the deferred tax expense (recovery).

CRESCENT POINT ENERGY CORP.
14


Capital expenditures fluctuated through this period as a result of timing of acquisitions and the Company's capital development 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 first quarter of 2016.
Outlook
Crescent Point's guidance for 2016 is as follows:
Production
 
 
 
 
Oil and NGL (bbls/d)
 
 
148,000

 
Natural gas (mcf/d)
 
 
102,000

 
Total (boe/d)
 
 
165,000

 
Capital expenditures (1)
 
 
 
 
Drilling and completions ($ millions)
 
 
812.0

 
Facilities, land and seismic ($ millions)
 
 
138.0

 
Total ($ millions)
 
 
950.0

 
(1)
The projection of capital expenditures excludes property and land acquisitions, which are separately considered and evaluated.

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.
Any “financial outlook” or “future oriented financial information” in this management’s discussion and analysis, as defined by applicable securities legislation, has been approved by management of Crescent Point. 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 purposes.
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 "Derivatives", "Reclamation Fund", “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, “Changes in Accounting Policies” and “Outlook”.
In particular, forward-looking statements include:
 
l
Crescent Point's approach to proactively manage risks inherent in movements in the price of crude oil, natural gas and power, fluctuations in the US/Cdn dollar exchange rate and interest rates movements;
l
The Corporation's objective to manage net debt to funds flow from operations to be well positioned to maximize shareholder return;
 
 
l
Crescent Point’s 2016 production and capital expenditure guidance as outlined in the Outlook section;
l
Anticipated timing of reclamation fund expenditures; and
 
 
l
The ability of the Corporation to execute its business strategy;
l
Expected adoption of new accounting policies.
All of the material assumptions underlying these statements are noted in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Outlook” sections of this report.
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.
