Forward-Looking Statements In the interest of providing Baytex's shareholders and potential investors with information regarding Baytex, including management's assessment of Baytex's future plans and operations, certain statements made by the presenter and contained in these presentation materials (collectively, this "presentation") are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation and are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. The information contained in this presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all information that potential investors may require. Specifically, this presentation contains forward-looking statements relating to, but not limited to: our business strategies, plans and objectives; our target to fund our capital program and cash dividends from internally generated funds from operations; our ability to mitigate the volatility in Western Canadian Select price differentials by transporting our crude oil to market using railways; our annual average production rate for 2016; our production mix for 2016; our capital budget for 2016; our plans to develop our three key resource plays (Eagle Ford, Peace River and Lloydminster), including the number and type of wells to be drilled in 2016 on each play; the upside potential of the Eagle Ford assets; the sustainability of our business; our liquidity and financial capacity; our target of funding our capital expenditures with funds from operations to minimize additional bank borrowings; the timing of our capital spending in Canada; the decline rate of our Canadian assets; the amount of our senior debt, our senior debt to Bank EBITDA ratio and the amount drawn on our revolving credit facilities all at year-end 2015; the estimated amount of cost reductions for 2015 and the breakdown of the reductions by spending category; our target for the cost to drill, complete and equip a well in the Eagle Ford, Peace River and Lloydminster; reductions in operating and general and administrative expenses relative to our budget and our intent to seek further reductions; our expectation that we will realize further improvements in capital efficiencies through cost reductions; our estimate of current individual well capital efficiencies; our target for all-in capital efficiencies; the rate of return for an individual well in the Eagle Ford, Peace River and Lloydminster under various pricing assumptions for West Texas Intermediate light oil (“WTI”) and the oil price at which the wells break-even; our expectation that our development opportunities will provide attractive returns; for individual wells in the Eagle Ford, Peace River and Lloydminster, the cost to drill, complete and equip a well, initial production rates, liquids weighting, estimated ultimate recoveries (EUR) and single well economics (including internal rate of return, net present value, payout and capital efficiency); our Eagle Ford shale play, including the growth potential of the assets, initial production rates from new wells, our plans to use “stack and frac” pilots to target three zones in the Eagle Ford formation in addition to the overlying Austin Chalk formation, our assessment of the results of the “stack and frac” pilots, individual well economics, cumulative recoveries and drilling efficiency; our expectation regarding the effect of well downspacing, improvements in completion techniques and new development targets on initial production rates and the reserves potential of the assets; the pricing benchmarks used for our liquids production; our Peace River heavy oil resource play, including development and operational plans, years of drilling inventory remaining, the number and type of wells to be drilled in 2015, reservoir characteristics, individual well economics for multi-lateral horizontal wells (including well design, drilling and completion costs, initial production rates, capital efficiency ratio, internal rate of return and estimated ultimate recoveries (EUR)); our Lloydminster heavy oil property, including development and operational plans, years of drilling inventory remaining, the number and type of wells to be drilled in 2015, individual well economics for horizontal wells (including drilling and completion costs, initial production rates, capital efficiency ratio internal rate of return and estimated ultimate recoveries (EUR) and our expectation that multi-lateral drilling will result in improvements in capital efficiencies); our expected oil and natural gas production for 2015 and 2016; reserves and reserves life index; the sensitivity of our 2016 funds from operations to changes in WTI prices, heavy oil differentials, natural gas prices and Canada-United States foreign exchange rates; the existence, operation and strategy of our risk management program, including the portion of future exposures that have been hedged; our ability to optimize the price received for our oil production and to manage our exposure to heavy oil price differentials by transporting our crude oil to market using trucks and railways; our belief that our ability to sell undiluted heavy oil provides us with a sustainable competitive advantage; the ability to ship and the portion of heavy oil sales to be transported via pipeline and railway in Q4 2015. In addition, information and statements relating to reserves are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in quantities predicted or estimated, and that the reserves can be profitably produced in the future. Cash dividends on our common shares are paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors and can fluctuate. In establishing the level of cash dividends, the Board of Directors considers all factors that it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the outlook for commodity prices, our operational execution, the amount of funds from operations and capital expenditures and our prevailing financial circumstances at the time. Although Baytex believes that the expectations and assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Baytex can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are based on certain key assumptions regarding, among other things: our ability to execute and realize on the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of the Eagle Ford assets; petroleum and natural gas prices and pricing differentials between light, medium and heavy gravity crude oil; well production rates and reserve volumes; our ability to add production and reserves through our exploration and development activities; capital expenditure levels; the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approvals for our operating activities; the availability and cost of labour and other industry services; the amount of future cash dividends that we intend to pay; interest and foreign exchange rates; the continuance of existing and, in certain circumstances, proposed tax and royalty regimes; our ability to develop our crude oil and natural gas properties in the manner currently contemplated; and current industry conditions, laws and regulations continuing in effect (or, where changes are proposed, such changes being adopted as anticipated). Readers are cautioned that such assumptions, although considered reasonable by Baytex at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect.

Advisory (Cont.)

Actual results achieved will vary from the information provided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to: declines in oil and natural gas prices; risks related to the accessibility, availability, proximity and capacity of gathering, processing and pipeline systems; uncertainties in the credit markets may restrict the availability of credit or increase the cost of borrowing; refinancing risk for existing debt and debt service costs; a downgrade of our credit ratings; risks associated with properties operated by third parties; changes in government regulations that affect the oil and gas industry; changes in environmental, health and safety regulations; variations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; risks associated with our hedging activities; the cost of developing and operating our assets; risks associated with the exploitation of our properties and our ability to acquire reserves; changes in income tax or other laws or government incentive programs; uncertainties associated with estimating petroleum and natural gas reserves; risks associated with acquiring, developing and exploring for oil and natural gas and other aspects of our operations; risks associated with large projects or expansion of our activities; risks related to heavy oil projects; the implementation of strategies for reducing greenhouse gases; depletion of our reserves; risks associated with the ownership of our securities, including the discretionary nature of dividend payments and changes in market-based factors; risks for United States and other non-resident shareholders, including the ability to enforce civil remedies, differing practices for reporting reserves and production, additional taxation applicable to non-residents and foreign exchange risk; and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. These and additional risk factors are discussed in our Annual Information Form, Annual Report on Form 40-F and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. The above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking statements in this presentation has been provided in order to provide potential investors with a more complete perspective of our current and future operations and as such information may be not appropriate for other purposes. There is no representation by Baytex that actual results achieved will be the same in whole or in part as those referenced in the forward-looking statements and Baytex does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities law. Oil and Gas Information This presentation contains estimates, as at December 31, 2014, of the volume of our petroleum and natural gas reserves as prepared by our independent qualified reserves evaluators, Sproule Unconventional Limited ("Sproule") for our Canadian properties and Ryder Scott Company, L.P. for our United States properties. These estimates have been prepared in accordance with Canadian reserves disclosure standards and definitions as set forth in National Instrument 51-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Natural Gas Activities” of the Canadian Securities Administrators (“NI 51-101”). The determination of oil and gas reserves involves the preparation of estimates that have an inherent degree of associated uncertainty. Categories of proved and probable reserves have been established to reflect the level of these uncertainties and to provide an indication of the probability of recovery. The estimation and classification of reserves requires the application of professional judgment combined with geological and engineering knowledge to assess whether or not specific reserves classification criteria have been satisfied. Knowledge of concepts, including uncertainty and risk, probability and statistics, and deterministic and probabilistic estimation methods, is required to properly use and apply reserves definitions. The recovery and reserves estimates described herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves and future production from such reserves may be greater or less than the estimates provided herein. The estimates of reserves for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. For complete NI 51-101 reserves disclosure, please see our Annual Information Form for the year end December 31, 2014 dated March 9, 2015. This presentation contains estimates of the volumes of the "contingent resources" for our oil resource plays in the Bluesky in the Peace River area of Alberta, the Mannville group in northeast Alberta and for the Gemini SAGD project at Angling Lake (Cold Lake), Alberta, as of December 31, 2014. These estimates were prepared by our independent qualified reserves evaluators, Sproule and McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel"). "Contingent resources" are not, and should not be confused with, petroleum and natural gas reserves. "Contingent resources" are defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook as: "those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage.” The outstanding contingencies applicable to our disclosed contingent resources do not include economic contingencies. Economic contingent resources are those resources that are currently economically recoverable based on specific forecasts of commodity prices and costs. The assigned contingent resources are categorized as economically recoverable based on economics completed at year-end 2012.

Advisory (Cont.)

A range of contingent resources estimates (low, best and high) were prepared by Sproule and McDaniel. A low estimate (C1) is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity of the resources that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. Those resources in the low estimate have the highest degree of certainty (a 90% confidence level) that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A best estimate (C2) is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity of the resources that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. Those resources in the best estimate have a 50% confidence level that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A high estimate (C3) is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity of the resources that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities of resources recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate. Those resources in the high estimate have a lower degree of certainty (a 10% confidence level) that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.

The primary contingencies which currently prevent the classification of the contingent resources as reserves consist of: preparation of firm development plans, including determination of the specific scope and timing of the project; project sanction; stakeholder and regulatory approvals; access to required services and field development infrastructure; oil prices and price differentials between light, medium and heavy gravity crude oils; future drilling program and testing results; further reservoir delineation and studies; facility design work; limitations to development based on adverse topography or other surface restrictions; and the uncertainty regarding marketing and transportation of petroleum from development areas. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources or that we will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as contingent resources. The estimates of contingent resources involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described exists in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the resources can be profitably produced in the future.

The recovery and resources estimates provided herein are estimates only. Actual contingent resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as reserves) and future production from such contingent resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

References herein to initial test production rates, 30-day IP rates and other short-term production rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons; however, such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long term performance or of ultimate recovery. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating aggregate production for us or the acquired assets. A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out in respect of all wells. Accordingly, we caution that the test results should be considered to be preliminary.

When converting volumes of natural gas to oil equivalent amounts, Baytex has adopted a conversion factor of six million cubic feet of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil, which is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Oil equivalent amounts may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation refers to funds from operations, total monetary debt, operating netback and Bank EBITDA, which do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles in Canada ("GAAP"). We define funds from operations ("FFO") as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for financing costs, changes in non-cash operating working capital and other operating items. We believe that this measure assists in providing a more complete understanding of certain aspects of our results of operations and financial performance, including our ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future dividends to shareholders and capital investments. However, funds from operations should not be construed as an alternative to traditional performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, such as cash flow from operating activities and net income. Please refer to our most recent management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for a reconciliation of funds from operations to cash flow from operating activities.

We define total monetary debt as the sum of monetary working capital (which is current assets less current liabilities (excluding non-cash items such as unrealized gains or losses on financial derivatives)), the principal amount of long-term debt and long-term bank loans. We believe that this measure assists in providing a more complete understanding of its cash liabilities.

We define operating netback as product sales price less royalties, production and operating expenses and transportation expenses divided by barrels of oil equivalent sales volume for the applicable period. Our determination of operating netback may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities. We believe that this measure assists in characterizing our ability to generate cash margin on a unit of production basis..

Bank EBITDA is calculated based on terms and definitions set out in the agreement governing our revolving extendible unsecured credit facilities. It is calculated by adjusting net income for financing costs, income tax, certain specific unrealized and non-cash transactions (including depletion, depreciation, amortization, impairment, exploration expenses, unrealized gains and losses on financial derivatives and foreign exchange, and share-based compensation) and acquisition and disposition activity and is calculated based on a trailing twelve month basis. Bank EBITDA is used by our lenders to monitor compliance with financial covenants.

Commentary:

- Our 2016 capital budget has been structured to ensure maximum flexibility with respect to both the timing and level of spend.

- We are targeting capital expenditures to approximate funds from operations in order to minimize additional bank borrowings.

- For the full-year, approximately 80%-90% of our planned capital expenditures will be directed to our Eagle Ford operations, which at current commodity prices represent the highest individual well economics and highest rates of return in our portfolio.

- We anticipate ramping up activity in Canada in the second half of 2016, with the pace being dependent on crude oil prices and project economics.
