CALGARY, Canada – March 28, 2023, High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) (the “Corporation” or “High Arctic”) released its’ fourth quarter and year-end results today. The audited consolidated financial statements, management discussion & analysis (“MD&A”), and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2022 will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and on High Arctic’s website at www.haes.ca. All amounts are denominated in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), unless otherwise indicated. Mike Maguire, Chief Executive Officer commented: “High Arctic enters 2023 well positioned to increase our service activity in Papua New Guinea in support of the significant LNG commitments made by our customers there. High Arctic has developed a strong position in PNG through top-tier equipment, local logistics expertise and a loyal and well-trained local workforce. The divestment of underperforming businesses in Canada has provided funds to pursue opportunistic growth in both our PNG and Canadian businesses and return value to shareholders, while weathering any market turbulence due to high inflation or recession.“ Highlights The following highlights the Corporations results for Q4-2022 and YTD-2022: • Disposition of underperforming assets in Canada for $38.2 million. • Executed a strategic consolidation of the snubbing industry in Canada by partnering with Team Snubbing, a large snubbing specialist. • Retained profitable Rental and Nitrogen Services businesses and real estate in Canada. • After a slowdown prolonged by the pandemic in PNG, rig operations recommenced in 2022. • In April, reinstated a monthly dividend of $0.005 per share and returned $2.2 million to shareholders. • Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million YTD-2022 and a negative Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million in Q4-2022 while realizing a net loss of $36.6 million YTD-2022 and net loss of $9.1 million Q4-2022. • The significant loss was due to non-cash impairment expense of $9.7 million and elimination of $7.7 million deferred tax asset both associated with the Canadian business sales, a $3.9 million PNG inventory adjustment and obsolescence provision in Q4-2022 in PNG, and $17.7 million in depreciation expense. Strategy High Arctic’s 2023 Strategic Objectives build on the platform we created in 2022, and include: • Safety excellence and quality service delivery, • Redeployment of idled assets in PNG, • Scaling our Canadian business, • Opportunities for growth and corporate transactions that enhance shareholder value, and • Examination of the Corporation’s optimal capital structure and dividend policy. ——————– Papua New Guinea – Drilling and Ancillary Services Drilling Services activities rose in 2022 with PNG seeing drilling rig activity following a long period of relative inactivity during the Covid-19 pandemic. Early in 2022, the Corporation utilized Rig 115 to complete the abandonment of a complex legacy well for a key customer while in Q3-2022 the Corporation executed a three-year renewal of the contract for the provision of drilling services with its principal customer using Rig 103. 2022 also saw the Corporation take steps to formalize the provision of personnel services to the PNG industry following the success of doing the same in 2021. Provision of personnel to both key PNG customers remained strong throughout the year. With higher industry activity, the Corporation increased utilization of its rental equipment including camps, matting, and mobile material handling equipment. The combination of these service activities led to High Arctic achieving revenues of $30.7 million in 2022 as compared to $10.7 million in 2021 in its Drilling Services segment. In 2022, the Papua-LNG joint venture entered front-end-engineering-and-design (“FEED”) and commenced early works activity, foreshadowing a final investment decision (“FID”) in the second half of 2023. The operator of the PNG-LNG joint venture announced the signing of a gas agreement for the development of the P’nyang gas field in the Western Province of PNG, which is anticipated to result in the addition of further gas liquefaction capacity in the world class PNG-LNG export facility. In preparation for year-end verification and active drilling in 2023, High Arctic conducted comprehensive substantive procedures to verify the current asset carrying value of inventory. This resulted in a $3.9 million inventory adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2022. Canada – Production and Ancillary Services On July 27, 2022, High Arctic executed two separate asset sales transactions resulting in the effective divestment of the Corporation’s Production Services segment (the “Sale Transactions”). The Canadian well servicing business was sold for an aggregate purchase price of $38.2 million to be settled in cash consideration. The Well Servicing Transaction involved the sale of well servicing rigs, associated rental equipment, and real estate used in the support of these operations along with the transfer of field personnel and a large majority of the office support personnel. The sale price was $38.2 million, which resulted in impairment of $9.0 million recognized in 2022. The well servicing business was originally purchased by the Corporation in August 2016 for $42.8 million in cash with a non-cash $12.7 million gain on the acquisition booked to PP&E. The Canadian snubbing business was sold to Team Snubbing for a consideration consisting of 42% equity ownership in the post-closing outstanding shares in Team Snubbing, valued at $7.7 million, and a convertible promissory note of $3.4 million. The note has a five-year term, with interest accruing at 4.5% from January 1, 2023, and principal repayments commencing July of 2024. High Arctic’s investment in the share capital of Team Snubbing allows for significant influence of key corporate, strategic and financial decisions and High Arctic has rights to the net assets of Team Snubbing. The sale resulted in a 2022 impairment loss of $0.7 million. High Arctic retains its Ancillary Services Segment in Canada comprised of the Nitrogen Pumping business and a Rentals business focused on pressure control equipment. As a result of the Sale Transactions, the Corporation has a significantly reduced Canadian business and has written down the deferred tax assets of $7.7 million while retaining $126.7 million of operating tax loss carry-forward in Canada. Additionally, the $37.0 million revolving bank loan credit facility was terminated effective July 28, 2022. Outlook The Corporation begins 2023 with a strong balance sheet, access to … Read more

(TSX: HWO) “High Arctic” or the “Corporation” is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a monthly dividend payment of $0.005 per share to holders of common shares. The dividend is payable on April 14, 2023 to holders of High Arctic common shares of record at the close of business on March 31, 2023. The dividend is designated as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian Income Tax purposes. The Corporation is also pleased to announce the re-commencement of in-wellbore operations with Rig 103 in Papua New Guinea (“PNG”) as previously forecast. Rig 103 is expected to remain active throughout the remainder of 2023 and through the term of its contract. Mike Maguire, CEO of High Arctic, stated, “I am very proud of our PNG team’s efforts to prepare and upgrade Rig 103, while building on our record of safety excellence. This is the first drilling operation following the merger of Oil Search into Santos Limited and follows substantive planning and cooperation aimed at making it a successful operation for all stakeholders.” This recommencement of drilling follows the recent announcement in PNG that the TotalEnergies led Papua-LNG project has commenced downstream front-end engineering and design (“FEED”) work on its way to a final investment decision later this year. Indications to this point suggest the Papua-LNG project will be based on four electric driven LNG liquefaction trains housed in the existing export facility outside PNG Capital Port Moresby. This facility is operated by Papua-LNG partner ExxonMobil for the country’s other LNG project. These developments support Management’s optimistic outlook on the gas development activities in PNG which are expected to lead to increased demand for drilling and related services. High Arctic would like to remind investors that the Corporation intends to release its 2022 fourth-quarter results on Monday, March 27, 2023 after markets close and has scheduled a conference call to begin at 3:00 pm MT (5:00 pm ET) on Tuesday, March 28, 2023.

The Corporation can apply to purchase additional shares pursuant to the NCIB up to a maximum amount representing the greater of 10% of the public float and 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of High Arctic. There were 48,716,769 common shares outstanding as of December 5, 2022. The TSX also limits the maximum number of common shares that High Arctic may purchase on any given day to 25% of the average daily trading volume of common shares on the TSX for the six-month period prior to NCIB approval. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the average daily trading volume of High Arctic shares was 23,742 leading to a daily NCIB purchase limit of 5,936 common shares. Subject to prescribed rules, High Arctic may also make one block repurchase per calendar week which exceeds the daily limit. The Corporation is authorized to make purchases during the period from December 15, 2022 to December 14, 2023, or until such earlier time as the NCIB is completed or is terminated at the option of the Corporation. Any common shares the Corporation purchases under the NCIB will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian markets, at the prevailing market price at the time of the transaction. The Corporation has appointed an independent brokerage agent to conduct the NCIB transactions under an automatic purchase plan agreement (“APPA”) dated December 13, 2022. The APPA will allow the broker to purchase common shares under the bid during internal blackout periods when the Corporation would normally not be permitted to trade in its shares. Such purchases will be at the sole discretion of the broker based on direction received from High Arctic prior to any blackout period and in accordance with all regulatory and securities law. All common shares acquired under the NCIB will be cancelled. The Corporation believes that from time to time the market price of High Arctic common shares may not reflect their underlying value and that, at such times, the purchase of common shares for cancellation will increase the proportionate interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders. In addition, the purchases by High Arctic under the NCIB may increase liquidity to the Corporation’s shareholders wishing to sell their common shares. The Corporation’s previous NCIB expires on December 14, 2022, and under that program, a total of 16,376 common shares at a weighted average price of $1.40 per share have been repurchased for cancellation.
