The quarter
A profit of $1.17 a share, from a loss of $0.02.

The outlook
| Measure | Figure |

In the company's words
“Lower sequential volumes primarily reflect the timing of onshore well deliveries and higher natural gas royalties in Tupper Montney associated with anticipated stronger seasonal pricing.”
