The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by IPC, including expectations and assumptions concerning: the potential impact of tariffs implemented in 2025 by the U.S. and Canadian governments and that other than the tariffs that have been implemented, neither the U.S. nor Canada (i) increases the rate or scope of such tariffs, or imposes new tariffs, on the import of goods from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas, and/or (ii) imposes any other form of tax, restriction or prohibition on the import or export of products from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas; prevailing commodity prices and currency exchange rates; applicable royalty rates and tax laws; interest rates; future well production rates and reserve and contingent resource volumes; operating costs; our ability to maintain our existing credit ratings; our ability to achieve our performance targets; the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals; the performance of existing wells; the success obtained in drilling new wells; anticipated timing and results of capital expenditures; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the timing, location and extent of future drilling operations; the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions and that we will be able to implement our standards, controls, procedures and policies in respect of any acquisitions and realize the expected synergies on the anticipated timeline or at all; the benefits of acquisitions; the state of the economy and the exploration and production business in the jurisdictions in which IPC operates and globally; the availability and cost of financing, labour and services; our intention to complete share repurchases under our normal course issuer bid program, including the funding of such share repurchases, existing and future market conditions, including with respect to the price of our common shares, and compliance with respect to applicable limitations under securities laws and regulations and stock exchange policies; and the ability to market crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids successfully. Although IPC believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because IPC can give no assurances that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to: general global economic, market and business conditions; the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to reserves, resources, production, revenues, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price fluctuations; interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation; loss of markets; environmental and climate-related risks; competition; innovation and cybersecurity risks related to our systems, including our costs of addressing or mitigating such risks; the ability to attract, engage and retain skilled employees; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; failure to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or dispositions; the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; failure to obtain required regulatory and other approvals; geopolitical conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia and the conflict in the Middle East, and their potential impact on, among other things, global market conditions; political or economic developments, including, without limitation, the risk that (i) one or both of the U.S. and Canadian governments increases the rate or scope of tariffs implemented in 2025, or imposes new tariffs on the import of goods from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas, (ii) the U.S. and/or Canada imposes any other form of tax, restriction or prohibition on the import or export of products from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas, and (iii) the tariffs imposed by the U.S. on other countries and responses thereto could have a material adverse effect on the Canadian, U.S. and global economies, and by extension the Canadian oil and natural gas industry and the Corporation; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalties, environmental and abandonment regulations. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect IPC, or its operations or financial results, are included in IPC's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2024 (See 'Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information", "Reserves and Resources Advisory' and 'Risk Factors'), in the management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (See "Risk Factors', 'Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information" and "Reserves and Resources Advisory") and other reports on file with applicable securities regulatory authorities, including previous financial reports, management's discussion and analysis and material change reports, which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website ( or IPC's website (

An investigation is underway after a man was found dead early Sunday morning in downtown Calgary. Calgary police responded to the 1100 block of 3 Street S.E. just after 5 a.m., after receiving reports that a man may have fallen from a high-rise balcony. Police discovered a man nearby in medical distress, who was then transported to hospital in life-threatening condition, where he died from his injuries. Police cordoned off the area on 12 Avenue S.E. between MacLeod Trail and 3 Street, and 3 Street north of 12 Avenue S.E., as they investigated for roughly ten hours. Fire crews also brought in an aeriel truck to help investigators collect evidence from a ledge. Carol Roberts and her husband own the car that was crushed. They were attending a conference in Calgary and were shocked to learn while heading down to load up their vehicle to drive back to Edmonton what had happened. 'It's a little surreal. I'm digesting it but we'll figure out a way home,' she said. Roberts said while they are hopeful insurance will cover the costs, she's more concerned about the man's loved ones. 'We were here for an amazing event and didn't expect it to end that way but I guess in reality this is the things that happen. i just hope and pray for the family.' CTV spoke to the man's aunt who said he was a 22-year-old man originally from the Siksika Nation and a talented hockey player. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday. Shocked People coming out of The Guardian condo building were shocked with the discovery of a decimated car with its roof caved in and glass shattered across the street. 'It's a scene from a movie,' said Keto Allen, who came out to walk his dog. 'From first glance it does look like someone fell or jumped but somebody landed on that vehicle from pretty high up, that's what it seems like.' Allen said there are around 40 floors in the building. 'It looks like a boulder fell out of the [expletive] sky,' said Brian Bura. 'It's crazy damage.' A group of women staying in an AirBnB in the building said they heard partying and woke up to sirens. 'It gives me goosebumps,' said Leanne Nicholson, 'I could hear a party and the music was really loud, like thump thump thump thump. I did hear, I thought I heard, yelling at one point but I was in a fog but I heard the sirens.' Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 403-266-1234. Those wishing to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, online or by downloading the P3 Tips app. Anyone was affected by witnessing these events is encouraged to contact the Victim Assistance Support Team (BAST) by calling 403-428-8398 or toll-free at 1-888-327-7828.
