Filing receipts
“During the first quarter of 2026, the deferred income tax recovery of $210 million was higher than 2025, primarily due to the impact of the non-cash ceiling test impairment recognized in the U.S. in 2026, partially offset by Canadian deferred tax expense.”
“Three months ended March 31, 2026, versus March 31, 2025 Administrative expense increased $19 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to: • Transaction costs incurred related to the NuVista Acquisition during the quarter ($22 million); partially offset by: • Restructuring costs incurred in 2025 ($10 million).”
“The change was primarily due to borrowings made under the Term Credit Agreement ($1,151 million) and an increase in the net issuance of revolving debt in 2026 compared to 2025 ($212 million), partially offset by the repayment of the Company’s January 2026 senior notes during the first quarter of 2026 ($459 million), the settlement of a property acquisition payable during the quarter ($123 million) and purchases of shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2026 ($84 million).”
