2015 Crown Royalty Calculation
1. Bitumen revenue is based on an SCO yield of 85% and a bitumen price equal to 60% of C$WTI.
2. Royalty rate is the greater of 25% of net revenue or 1% of revenue.
3. Before capitalized interest.
4. As part of the transition to the generic royalty regime, Syncrude is obligated to pay additional Crown Royalties of $975 million over 2010-
2015. The $57 million shown above is COS share of the 2015 expense based on accrual accounting; actual cash payments are per the
schedule on previous slide. In any given year, the difference will be reflected as a change in Crown royalty payable. The cash payment in 2015
is expected to be approximately $129 millionSee COS 2013 Annual MD&A dated Feb. 20/14 for further discussion on Crown royalties.
