Greenfire’s production in the fourth quarter
of 2024 averaged 19,384 bbls/d, reflecting a 1% increase compared to the prior quarter, while the full-year 2024 production averaged 19,292
bbls/d. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter totaled $13.2 million, with full-year 2024 capital expenditures amounting to $91.8
million. Adjusted free cash flow for the fourth quarter was $39.8 million, bolstered by more favorable WCS differentials, as well as lower
operating and capital spending, with the full-year 2024 at $80.1 million.
Expansion Asset: Production in the fourth
quarter of 2024 remained relatively stable compared to the third quarter, which was lower than anticipated due to reduced steam generation
performance in December 2024.
Demo Asset: Production in the fourth quarter
of 2024 increased compared to the third quarter and averaged 4,300 bbls/d in November and December 2024, which is driven by the activation
of three additional redevelopment wells and the startup of the second disposal well following the completion of scheduled annual maintenance
in October 2024.
2025 Operational Update
Production Overview
The Company’s production for 2025 to date
is approximately 18,000 bbls/d, reflecting a 7% decrease compared to the previous quarter. This reduction is attributed to the Expansion
Asset, where ongoing steam generation equipment repairs, unexpected facility downtime and natural production declines have impacted production
output. At present, one of the four steam generation units is offline with an associated impact on production at the Expansion Asset of
1,500 to 2,250 bbls/d. The Company is implementing mitigation strategies to limit production impacts, including developing a comprehensive
plan to restore full steam generation capacity and will provide updates in due course.
Comprehensive Review of Future Development
Plans
The Company is currently conducting a comprehensive
evaluation of its development plans, capital expenditures, and operational strategies for both the Expansion Asset and the Demo Asset.
To address declines at the Expansion Asset, the Company anticipates that future development initiatives will involve drilling new well
pairs on undeveloped reservoir, subject to approval from Greenfire’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). At the Demo Asset,
future development plans will prioritize optimizing base production.
Emissions Reporting and Regulatory Engagement
Following the changes in Greenfire’s board
of directors as a result of the WEF Acquisition, it was brought to the Company’s attention that Greenfire’s sulphur dioxide
emissions may have been underreported. Prior management have been terminated. Greenfire takes its regulatory obligations very seriously
and immediately reported the potential exceedance to the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”). Greenfire is currently in discussions
with the AER and is exploring remedies, including potentially adding sulphur recovery units to the Expansion Asset. The extent of any
potential exceedance and any remedies, penalties or orders imposed by the AER are unknown at this time.
2025 Corporate Updates
| ● | Following
the appointment of the new leadership team for the Company on February 11, 2025 and as noted above, Greenfire is undertaking a thorough
review of its development plans, cost structures, and operational strategy. Upon completion, the Company intends to provide details of
its new development plans. |
| ● | In
March of 2025, the Company completed an amendment to the 2028 Note Indenture, which had received requisite approval of the holders of
the 2028 Notes, to increase the permitted capital expenditures in any twelve-month period from $100 million to US$150 million. |
| ● | Following
the change of control in relation to the recent acquisition of approximately 56.5% of the Company’s common shares by certain limited
partnerships comprising Waterous Energy Fund, the Board determined to accelerate the expiry dates of the outstanding performance warrants
to April 30, 2025, all in accordance with the terms of the warrant plan agreement. There are 2,178,021 performance warrants currently
outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $2.14 to $11.09 per common share. |
| ● | Greenfire
executed an updated WTI hedging program in the first quarter of 2025 to enhance price certainty for a portion of the Company’s
production. The Company replaced its existing WTI costless collar contracts, which had a price range average of approximately US$57/bbl
to US$83/bbl, with fixed-price swaps covering 9,400 bbls/d of WTI at an average price of approximately C$101/bbl for the full year 2025. |

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Certain financial measures in this press release
are non-GAAP financial measures or ratios and capital management measures. These measures are not defined by IFRS and therefore may not
be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. These non-GAAP and capital management measures should not be considered
in isolation or as an alternative for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. This press release also contains supplementary
financial measures and ratios. Supplementary financial measures are derived from IFRS.
Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios include
operating netback, operating netback, excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts, adjusted funds flow, adjusted free
cash flow and per barrel figures associated with non-GAAP financial measures. Capital management measures include net debt. Supplementary
financial measures and ratios include gross profit, capital expenditures and depletion.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Operating Netback (including per barrel ($/bbl)) and Operating Netback,
excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts (including per barrel ($/bbl))
Gross profit is the most directly comparable GAAP
measure to operating netback and operating netback, excluding realized (gain) loss on risk management contracts which are non-GAAP measures.
These measures are not intended to represent gross profit, net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance
with IFRS. Operating netback, excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts is comprised of gross profit, plus loss on risk
management contracts, less gain on risk management contracts and less depletion expense on the Company’s operating assets. Operating
netback, excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts per barrel ($/bbl) is calculated by dividing operating netback ,
excluding realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts by the Company’s bitumen sales volume in a specified period. Operating
netback is further adjusted for realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts, as appropriate. Operating netback per barrel ($/bbl)
is calculated by dividing operating netback by the Company’s bitumen sales volume in a specified period. When Operating netback
is expressed on a per barrel basis it is a non-GAAP ratio. Operating netback and operating netback, excluding realized gain (loss) on
risk management contracts are financial measures widely used in the oil and gas industry as supplementary measures of a Company’s
efficiency and ability to generate cash flow for debt repayments, capital expenditures or other uses.

profit to operating netback:

Adjusted Funds Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Cash provided by operating activities is the most
directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted funds flow, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not intended to represent cash
provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS.
The adjusted funds flow measure allows management
and others to evaluate the Company’s ability to fund its capital programs and meet its ongoing financial obligations using cash
flow internally generated from ongoing operating related activities. We compute adjusted funds flow as cash provided by operating activities,
excluding the impact of changes in non-cash working capital, less transaction costs and transactions considered non-recurring in nature
or outside of normal business operations.
Cash provided by operating activities is the most
directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure. Management uses adjusted free cash flow as
an indicator of the efficiency and liquidity of its business, measuring its funds after capital investment that are available to manage
debt levels and return capital to shareholders. By removing the impact of current period property, plant and equipment expenditures from
adjusted free cash flow, management monitors its adjusted free cash flow to inform its capital allocation decisions. We compute adjusted
free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non-cash working capital, less transaction
costs, transactions considered non-recurring in nature or outside of normal business operations, property, plant and equipment expenditures
and acquisition costs.

provided by operating activities to adjusted funds flow and adjusted free cashflow:

Net debt is a capital management measure. Long-term
debt is a GAAP measure that is the most directly comparable financial statement measure to net debt. Net debt is comprised of long-term
debt, adjusted for current assets and current liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet, and excludes the current portions of risk
management contracts and warranty liability. Management uses net debt to monitor the Company’s current financial position and to
evaluate existing sources of liquidity. Net debt is used to estimate future liquidity and whether additional sources of capital are required
to fund planned operations.
1P and 2P before-tax PV10, net of debt and cash
1P and 2P before-tax PV10, net of debt and cash
is comprised of before tax present value is calculated using the estimated net present value of all future net revenue from our reserves,
before income taxes discounted at 10%, as estimated by McDaniel effective December 31, 2024, less face value of its term debt plus cash
and cash equivalents.

Supplementary Financial Measures
Depletion
The term “depletion” or “depletion
expense” is the portion of depletion and depreciation expense reflecting the cost of development and extraction of the Company’s
bitumen reserves.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is a supplementary financial measure
prepared on a consistent basis with IFRS. Greenfire uses gross profit to assess its core operating performance before considering other
expenses such as general and administrative costs, financing costs, and income taxes. Gross profit is calculated as oil sales, net of
royalties, plus gains on risk management contracts, less losses on risk management contracts, diluent expense, operating expense, depletion
expense on the Company’s operating assets, transportation expenses and marketing expenses.
Management believes that gross profit provides
investors, analysts, and other stakeholders with useful insight into the Company’s ability to generate profitability from its core
operations before non-operating expenses. When gross profit is expressed on a per barrel basis it is a supplementary financial ratio.

Presentation of Reserves and Other Oil and
Gas Information
In respect of 2024 year-end reserves information
contained in this press release, Greenfire’s reserves have been evaluated in accordance with Canadian reserve evaluation standards
under NI 51-101. McDaniel and Associates Consultants Ltd. (“McDaniel”), an independent petroleum consulting firm based in
Calgary, Alberta, has each evaluated the petroleum reserves associated with all of Greenfire’s properties. McDaniel used the average
of the commodity price forecasts and inflation rates of Sproule Associates Limited, McDaniel and GLJ Ltd. as of January 1, 2025 to prepare
their report (the “McDaniel Report”). Such estimates constitute forward-looking information, which are based on values that
Greenfire’s management believes to be reasonable, and are subject to the same limitations discussed under “Forward-Looking
Information” below.
Greenfire presents the measures below using information
derived from its 2024 year-end reserves information.
2P Reserve Life Index
2P Reserve Life Index calculated by dividing gross
2P reserves by annualized fourth quarter production.
For additional information regarding the consolidated reserves and
information concerning the resources of the Company as evaluated by McDaniel in the McDaniel Report, please refer to the Company’s
AIF.
Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains forward-looking information
and forward-looking statements (collectively, “forward-looking information”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws.
The forward-looking information in this press release is based on Greenfire’s current internal expectations, estimates, projections,
assumptions and beliefs. Such forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and 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
information. The Company believes the material factors, expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking information are
reasonable as of the time of such information, but no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will prove
to be correct, and such forward-looking information included in this press release should not be unduly relied upon.
The use of any of the words “expect”,
“target”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “objective”, “ongoing”,
“may”, “will”, “project”, “believe”, “depends”, “could” and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
this press release contains forward-looking information pertaining to the following: the Company’s business strategy and future
plans, including development plans for the Expansion Asset and the Demo Asset and the anticipated timing thereof; successful execution
of the company’s strategy and operational goals; expected production and capital expenditures in 2025; the potential impact of regulatory
actions by the AER on the Company’s business, operations, production, reserves estimates and financial condition; and statements relating
to the business and future activities of the Company after the date of this press release.
In addition, statements relating to “reserves”
are deemed to be forward-looking information as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that
the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future. Forward-looking information
in this press release relating to oil and gas exploration, development and production, and management’s general expectations relating
to the oil and gas industry are based on estimates prepared by management using data from publicly available industry sources as well
as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of the industry which management believes
to be reasonable. Although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics, this data
is inherently imprecise. Management is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented in press release.
All forward-looking information reflects Greenfire’s
beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the applicable forward-looking information is disclosed and in light
of the Company’s current expectations with respect to such matters as: the success of Greenfire’s operations and growth and expansion
projects; expectations regarding production growth, future well production rates and reserves volumes; expectations regarding Greenfire’s
capital program; the outlook for general economic trends, industry trends, prevailing and future commodity prices, foreign exchange rates
and interest rates; prevailing and future royalty regimes and tax laws; expectations regarding differentials and realized prices; future
well production rates and reserves volumes; fluctuations in energy prices based on worldwide demand and geopolitical events; the impact
of inflation; the integrity and reliability of Greenfire’s assets; decommissioning obligations; Greenfire’s ability to comply with its
financial covenants; Greenfire’s ability to comply with applicable regulations, including those related to various emissions; and the
governmental, regulatory and legal environment. Management believes that its assumptions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking
information contained herein are reasonable based on the information available on the date such information is provided and the process
used to prepare the information. However, Greenfire cannot assure readers that these expectations will prove to be correct.
The forward-looking information included in this
press release is not a guarantee of future performance and 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 information, including, without limitation:
changes in oil and gas prices and differentials; changes in the demand for or supply of Greenfire’s products; the continued impact, or
further deterioration, in global economic and market conditions, including from inflation and/or certain geopolitical conflicts, such
as the ongoing war in Eastern Europe and the conflict in the Middle East, and other heightened geopolitical risks, including imposition
of tariffs or other trade barriers, and the ability of the Company to carry on operations as contemplated in light of the foregoing; determinations
by OPEC and other countries as to production levels; unanticipated operating results or production declines; changes in tax or environmental
laws, climate change regulations, royalty rates or other regulatory matters; changes in Greenfire’s operating and development plans; reliability
of third party facilities, infrastructure and pipelines required for Greenfire’s operations and production; competition for, among other
things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and resources, undeveloped lands, access to services, third party processing capacity and skilled
personnel; inability to retain drilling rigs and other services; severe weather conditions, including wildfires, impacting Greenfire’s
operations and third party infrastructure; availability of diluent, natural gas and power to operate Greenfire’s facilities;
failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Company’s acquisitions; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; delays resulting
from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals; increased debt levels or debt service requirements; inflation; changes in foreign
exchange rates; inaccurate estimation of Greenfire’s bitumen reserves volumes; limited, unfavourable or a lack of access to capital markets
or other sources of capital; increased costs; failure to comply with applicable regulations, including relating to the Company’s air emissions,
and potentially significant penalties and orders associated therewith and associated significant effect on the Company’s business,
operations, production, reserves estimates and financial condition; a lack of adequate insurance coverage; and other factors discussed
under the “Risk Factors” section in Greenfire’s Management’s Discussion & Analysis and Annual Information
Form, each for the year ended December 31, 2024, and from time to time in Greenfire’s public disclosure documents, which are available
on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, and in the Company’s annual report on Form 40-F filed with the SEC, which is
available on the Company’s EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov.
The foregoing risks should not be construed as
exhaustive. The forward-looking information contained in this press release speaks only as of the date of this press release and Greenfire
does not assume any obligation to publicly update or revise such forward-looking information to reflect new events or circumstances, except

WHEREAS, Section 9.02(a) of
the Indenture provides that, the Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented

Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class and compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees
