FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
2
This document contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. These forward-looking statements include, among others, the Company’s prospects, expected revenues, expenses, profits, expected developments and strategies for its operations, and other expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, assumptions, information and statements about possible future events, conditions, results of operations or performance. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate,” “achieve”, “achievable,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend”, “plan”, “planned”, and other similar terms and phrases. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These risks and uncertainties include: fluctuating prices for crude oil and natural gas; changes in drilling activity; general global economic, political and business conditions; weather conditions; regulatory changes; and availability of products, qualified personnel, manufacturing capacity and raw materials. If any of these uncertainties materialize, or if assumptions are incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expected.

To achieve top quartile ROIC in our sector
- Maintain market leading position in Fracturing and Cementing service lines- Strengthen auxiliary service lines (Coiled Tubing, Nitrogen, Water Management)
- Growth in existing or complimentary, less capital intensive, less cyclical services lines (i.e. Production & Pipeline Services)
- Leverage strong technical expertise into additional markets or services
- Disciplined investment into future growth – ensure ROIC hurdle rates are met- Return value to shareholders through Normal Course Issuer Bid (share
buyback program)
- Reduce costs for ourselves and our clients through efficiency improvements and scale

CANADIAN INDUSTRY DYNAMICS – INCREASING WELL INTENSITY
2018 well count 38% below 2014 levels
7,000 – 8,000 wells today equates to 2014 well count levels in terms of fracturing equipment demand
We expect well service intensity to remain flat in 2019 to 2018 levels• Tonnes of proppant placed per / meter grew by approximately 25% in 2018 relative to 2017
- 1.5 tonnes/m in 2018 vs. 1.2 tonnes/m in 2017
• 2018 data included above is limited and therefore weighted to higher well service intensity wells

Estimated industry demand of ~ 1,300,000 HHP in Q1 2019
Internal estimate of 20% - 25% of equipment in Canada is not suited for higher well service intensity plays (Montney, Duvernay and Deep Basin)
CANADIAN INDUSTRY DYNAMICS – TRICAN’S COMPETITIVE POSITIONING
More than 50% of Trican’s fleet is continuous duty pumps, most efficient style of fracturing pump, designed for higher well service intensity plays:• Positions Trican to service growing, higher well service intensity
plays
• Supports Trican’s continued leading Canadian fracturing market position as measured by both market share and margin- Fracturing gross margins of 18% in Q3 2018 (23% with fluid ends
removed to compare with our peers capitalization of fluid ends)
- Fracturing gross margins of 21% YTD (25% with fluid ends removed to compare with our peers capitalization of fluid ends)
• Allows Trican to continue to efficiently operate in the highest well service intensity resource plays: Montney, Duvernay and Deep Basin (estimated to account for ~ 80% of the required HHP demand in Canada)

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT – PRICING, LABOUR & REPAIRS EXPENSE
Pricing: Q4 2018 pricing dropped slightly sequentially
as activity decreased in the quarter
Slight recovery in Q1 2019 pricing relative to Q4 2018
Passed on sand savings to clients resulting in client savings of 7%-10% relative to Q3 2018
Further demand improvements, or supply contraction, will be required for pricing to improve:• Increased customer budgets• West Coast LNG• Improvement in commodity prices and / or
Canadian commodity price differentials

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT – PRICING, LABOUR & REPAIRS EXPENSE
Repairs and Maintenance Expense: Increased intensity equals increased
expense, built into our pricing models
Stainless steel fluid ends are expensed, not depreciated• Reduced 2018 annual capital
expenditures by $25 to $30 million and expected to increase cash operating expense by the same amount
• Decreases fracturing gross margins by 4%
• Only Canadian company expensing fluid ends (estimate that > 80% of US listed public pressure pumping companies expense fluid ends)

Indexed to 2014. Based on repairs and maintenance expense per tonne of proppant pumped, a component of ‘cost of sales – other’ within the statement of income.
Changed to cash expense of fluid ends, previously
depreciation
PERFORMANCE – ROIC and ADJUSTED EBITDA %
Corporate Adjusted EBITDA margin of 18% or greater supports project level ROIC hurdles
To improve adjusted EBITDA margins:• Continue to optimize costs
• Recovery in utilization of existing fracturing fleet:adjusted EBITDA margin improvement when utilization at >80%
• Generate revenue from idled equipment
• Improve coil profitability: added 2 coil crews so far in Q4/18 and plan to add 2 more in 2019
• Leverage existing IP and technology into new opportunities: sell chemicals and technology in US and internationally
• Pricing improvements
17
OUTLOOK & TRICAN ADVANTAGE
Q4 2018
19
Significant slow down in customer activity• Reduced oil / gas cash flow of clients due to lower
commodity prices and high differentials• Budget exhaustion
Fracturing utilization below 50%
Cement and coil utilization at normal levels in October and November with early December slow down
Pricing competitive in Q4 2018• Gave some modest discounts for fourth quarter work
(7% drop from Q3 2018)
Added 2 coil crews in the quarter
OUTLOOK – 2019
Activity strong in Q1 2019• 95% of active fracturing equipment is hard booked for January and
February
• Fracturing utilization of 70% on active equipment in January and February due to smaller pad sizes and more move / rig-up days
• 35% drop year-over-year in pumping days per fracturing fleet
• Cement and coil anticipated to be at full utilization on active equipment
• How long our customers operate into March will impact Q1 2019 results
Approximately 4 fracturing fleets active but not staffed (120,000 HP)
Poor visibility past Q1 2019• Approximately 60% of fracturing equipment committed in 2H 2019• Customers will adjust programs quarterly based on commodity prices
20
CAPITALIZATION – POSITIONED FOR OPPORTUNITIES
Strong balance sheet allows for opportunistic investment:
• Keane Monetization: December 2018 monetization of Keane for approximately $72 million further strengthens our financial position
• Continued return to shareholders, active NCIB: repurchased approximately 14% of the outstanding Trican shares in the past 14 months (at November 7, 2018)
• Fleet upgrades: can further strengthen our market leading fracturing fleet through selective upgrades
• Invest in supporting service lines: target increased market share in coil and other supporting service lines
• M&A Opportunities: low leverage levels allow cost effective funding options for acquisition opportunities
