Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains statements and information which constitute "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking information" (within the meaning of applicable securities legislation). Such statements and information (together, "forward-looking statements") relate to future events, including the Corporation's future performance, business prospects or opportunities. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, unless otherwise indicated. IPC does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws.
All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, forecasts, guidance, budgets, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", 'forecast', "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe", "budget" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the ability and willingness of IPC to continue the NCIB, including the number of common shares to be acquired and cancelled and the timing of such purchases and cancellations; and the return of value to IPC's shareholders as a result of any common share repurchases.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by IPC, including expectations and assumptions concerning: 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; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalties and environmental 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, 2023 (See 'Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information", 'Risks Factors' and "Reserves and Resources Advisory' therein), in the management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 (See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information", 'Risks Factors' and "Reserves and Resources Advisory" therein) 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 (www.sedarplus.ca) or IPC's website (www.international-petroleum.com).Sign in to access your portfolio

Want to Retire Rich? 3 TSX Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio Now
Written by Sneha Nahata at The Motley Fool Canada Investing in TSX stocks with the ability to deliver above-average returns can help build wealth over time and retire rich. However, when investing for long-term financial goals, consider diversifying your portfolio to add stability and spread risk. Against this background, here are three TSX stocks that could deliver above-average returns and support you to retire rich. Dollarama (TSX:DOL) is a top TSX stock for building wealth for retirement. This Canadian dollar store retail chain consistently performs well in all market conditions, thanks to its value-focused model, and generates above-average returns. By offering everyday essentials and seasonal goods at low fixed prices, Dollarama consistently attracts strong consumer demand. Moreover, its focus on geographic expansion boosts sales and market presence. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Dollarama reported an 8.2% year-over-year increase in sales to $1.5 billion, with same-store sales rising 4.9%. This growth was driven by more customer visits and higher average transaction sizes. The stock has already surged 37.1% this year and has delivered nearly 315% in capital gains over the past five years by growing at an above-average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.9% Additionally, Dollarama has been consistently increasing its dividend since 2011, returning higher cash to its shareholders. Its value pricing strategy, wide product range, partnerships with third-party online delivery platforms, strong supply chain, and expanding geographical footprint will likely drive its earnings, supporting its share price and future dividend payments. 5N Plus (TSX:VNP) is a small-cap stock trading under $10. It manufactures specialty semiconductors and performance materials. These advanced components are vital to booming sectors such as renewable energy and space solar technology, positioning the company to deliver significant long-term returns. Strong demand and its focus on improving margins are enabling 5N Plus to scale profitably. Over the past five years, the stock has delivered a 486.9% return, compounding annually at 42.41%. Its bismuth-based products are gaining traction, and enhanced manufacturing capabilities combined with a robust global supply chain strengthen its outlook. Furthermore, as the demand for ultra-high-purity materials continues to increase, particularly from non-Chinese sources, 5N Plus is emerging as a crucial supplier. Its strong customer relationships, growing global presence, and leadership in niche markets make it a compelling bet for investors seeking long-term growth. Investors planning to retire rich could consider adding Cameco (TSX:CCO) to their long-term portfolios. This leading company in the nuclear energy space provides fuel, technology, and services spanning the full reactor lifecycle. Moreover, its investment in Westinghouse Electric deepens its control over the entire nuclear value chain, positioning it well to deliver reliable, carbon-free energy. With global demand for electricity surging, driven by AI-driven data centers, electrification, and decarbonization efforts, nuclear power is witnessing solid demand, and Cameco is well-positioned to capitalize on it. Thanks to solid secular demand trends, Cameco stock has increased at a CAGR of 47.5% over the past five years, delivering a return of approximately 600%.

Building a $28,000 TFSA Portfolio One Contribution at a Time
Written by Adam Othman at The Motley Fool Canada Ever since central banks in the US and Canada started cutting key interest rates, economic activity has picked up pace in both countries. While the rate cuts are currently paused amid trade and geopolitical tensions, analysts predict two more rate cuts of 25 basis points as inflation and tariff-related headwinds ease. Lower interest rates also mean you cannot generate too much interest income from cash held in high-interest savings accounts. If you have $28,000 of contribution room available in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA), I can tell you a much better way of generating good monthly returns. The TSX has no shortage of monthly dividend-paying stocks. Building a portfolio of high-quality TSX stocks paying monthly distributions to shareholders can be a great way to generate extra monthly income. Here's a table giving you a quick look at how a hypothetical amount of around $28,000 across three such TSX stocks can deliver $144 in monthly dividends in a TFSA without incurring taxes. After that, you can read a bit about each. Ticker Recent Price Number of Shares Amount Invested Monthly Dividends Per Share Total Monthly Payout Per Stock PZA $14.91 625 $9,318.75 $0.0775 $48.44 SIA $18.52 503 $9,315.56 $0.078 $39.23 $25.37 368 $9,336.16 $0.1542 $56.75 Total Monthly Payout $144.42 Pizza Pizza Royalty Corp. (TSX:PZA) is a $497.3 million market-cap company that owns and franchises quick-service restaurants under several brands, boasting almost 800 restaurants from one coast to the other. The monthly dividend-paying stock generates revenue by collecting royalties from its franchisees based on how much they sell, making its cash flows less vulnerable to wage increases or commodity price fluctuations, which weigh on many businesses in the industry. The brands under the company's banner consistently keep adding value to end consumers by updating menus and using creative brand messaging. The company is also planning to continue to increase its locations. I believe this stock can be a good investment for earning relatively safe monthly dividends. Sienna Senior Living Inc. (TSX:SIA) is a $1.7 billion market-cap giant in the senior living space. It is among the largest owners of senior housing facilities in Ontario, servicing the aging population. Occupancy rates are getting higher and higher, and it generates revenue from several business segments catering to different markets within Canada. As long as the growth in the senior population continues, so will the demand for the services that SIA stock offers. The company ended the first quarter of fiscal 2025 with $445 million in liquidity, indicating that it has more than enough capital to fund monthly dividends and acquire more facilities under its banner. It can be another solid investment to consider for monthly dividends. SmartCentres REIT (TSX: is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that can help you earn monthly income like a lazy landlord. If you have the cash outlay for stock market investing, you have the ability to invest in the real estate sector, all without the hassle of being an actual landlord. has a portfolio of almost 200 properties in key locations across the country, with over 95% of its tenants having a regional or national presence. Most of its revenue comes from commercial tenants offering essential services, giving it solid cash-generating opportunities. Boasting an impressive 98.4% occupancy rate, it can be a solid investment. I feel that you should take any opportunity you can to make more money, and the TFSA gives you the perfect chance to do that. The tax-sheltered nature of the account means you can enjoy the returns from your investments in the account without incurring taxes. The table at the start paints a picture of what the monthly income might look like with a hypothetical $28,000 across three monthly dividend stocks. Add capital gains in the long term into the mix and your total returns over a few years can be much higher.
