This MD&A contains non-IFRS measures, additional IFRS measures and forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that this document should be read in conjunction with Hemisphere's disclosure under "Non-IFRS and additional IFRS Measures" and "Forward-Looking Statements" included at the end of this MD&A. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

million ($0.09/share) for the same period in 2021. The increase in AFF from operations for three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 is due primarily to a respective 88% and 85% increase in the combined average realized sales price, and a 61% increase in production, over the respective comparable periods in 2021.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $4.1 million ($0.04/share) and $8.7 million ($0.09/share), respectively, compared to net losses of $3.6 million

($0.04/share) and $1.8 million ($0.02/share) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase of $10.6 million in the first half of 2022 is generally the result of an increase in operating field netback of $22.4 million, offset by an increase in depletion of $1.8 million, current and deferred tax expenses of $1.0 million and $3.8 million, and realized hedging losses of $5.1 million.

Q2 2022 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

5

The Company's oil and natural gas sales and financial results are significantly influenced by changes in commodity prices. The West Texas Intermediate pricing ("WTI") at Cushing, Oklahoma is the benchmark reference price for North American crude oil prices. Canadian oil prices, including Hemisphere's heavy crude oil, are based on price postings, which is WTI-adjusted for transportation, quality and the currency conversion rates from United States dollar ("USD") to Canadian dollar.

The Company's combined average realized price increased by 88% to $116.65 from $62.06/boe during the comparable three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company's combined average realized price increased by 85% from $57.73/boe to $106.78/boe during the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase is the result of a higher realized WTI price, offset by increases of $2.21/bbl and $2.30/bbl respectively in the differential between the WCS and WTI pricing for the three and six month ended June 30, 2022 over the comparable periods in 2021.
