• Continue opportunistic open market repurchases of debt

• Evaluate M&A transactions and alternative financings to enhance liquidity

1. Includes restricted cash of $21 million and $32 million as of Sept. 30, 2015 and Feb. 25, 2016.

2. Represents total principal balance outstanding. The issuance of the Exchange Term Loan and related repurchases of 2018 Notes and 2022 Notes were accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructuring by Debtors ("ASC 470-60). EXCO determined that the future undiscounted cash flows from the Exchange Term Loan through its maturity were less than the carrying amounts of the retired 2018 Notes and 2022 Notes. As a result, the Company adjusted its carrying amount of the Exchange Term Loan to equal the total future cash payments, including interest and principal. Subsequently, all cash payments under the terms of the Exchange Term Loan, whether designated as interest or as principal amount, will reduce the carrying amount and no interest expense will be recognized. The undiscounted future interest payments on the Exchange Term Loan expected to be due in 2016 are classified as Current portion of long-term debt on the balance sheet. As such, the Company's reported interest expense will be less than the contractual payments throughout the term of the Exchange

Term Loan. 4

Forward Looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the following:

 future financial and operating performance and results;

 business strategy;

 market prices;

 future use of derivative financial instruments; and

 plans and forecasts.

The Company based these forward-looking statements on current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events.

The Company uses the words “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” "project," “budget” and other similar words to identify forward-looking statements. The statements that contain these words should be read carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or financial condition and/or state other “forward-looking” information. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities laws. These statements also involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or financial condition to materially differ from expectations in this presentation, including, but not limited to:

 fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas;

 the availability of oil and natural gas;

 future capital requirements and availability of financing, including limitations on our ability to incur certain types of indebtedness under our debt agreements;

 our ability to meet our current and future debt service obligations, including our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants;

 disruption of credit and capital markets and the ability of financial institutions to honor their commitments;

 estimates of reserves and economic assumptions, including estimates related to acquisitions and dispositions of oil and natural gas properties;

 geological concentration of our reserves;

 risks associated with drilling and operating wells;

 exploratory risks, including those related to our activities in shale formations;

 discovery, acquisition, development and replacement of oil and natural gas reserves;

 cash flow and liquidity;

 timing and amount of future production of oil and natural gas;

 availability of drilling and production equipment;

 availability of water and other materials for drilling and completion activities;

 marketing of oil and natural gas;

 political and economic conditions and events in oil-producing and natural gas-producing countries;

 title to our properties;

 litigation;

 competition;

 our ability to attract and retain key personnel;

 general economic conditions, including costs associated with drilling and operations of our properties;

 our ability to comply with the listing requirements of, and maintain the listing of our common shares on, the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE");

 environmental or other governmental regulations, including legislation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, legislation of derivative financial instruments, regulation of hydraulic fracture stimulation and elimination of income tax incentives available to our industry;

 receipt and collectability of amounts owed to us by purchasers of our production and counterparties to our derivative financial instruments;

 decisions whether or not to enter into derivative financial instruments;

 potential acts of terrorism;

 our ability to manage joint ventures with third parties, including the resolution of any material disagreements and our partners’ ability to satisfy obligations under these arrangements;

 actions of third party co-owners of interests in properties in which we also own an interest;

 fluctuations in interest rates;

 our ability to effectively integrate companies and properties that we acquire; and

 our ability to execute the business strategies and other corporate actions developed in connection with EXCO's strategic improvement plan.

It is important to communicate expectations of future performance to investors. However, events may occur in the future that EXCO is unable to accurately predict, or over which EXCO has no control. Users of the financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on a forward-looking statement. Any number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in EXCO's forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, future capital requirements and the availability of capital and financing, uncertainties about reserve estimates, the outcome of future drilling activity, environmental risks and regulatory changes. Declines in oil or natural gas prices may have a material adverse effect on EXCO's financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, ability to fund operations and the amount of oil or natural gas that can be produced economically. Historically, oil and natural gas prices and markets have been volatile, with prices fluctuating widely, and they are likely to continue to be volatile. EXCO undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. When considering EXCO's forward-looking statements, investors are urged to read the cautionary statements and the risk factors included in EXCO's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 25, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 10, 2015, and after March 2, 2016, EXCO's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and its other periodic filings with the SEC.

Revenues, operating results and financial condition substantially depend on prevailing prices for oil and natural gas and the availability of capital. Declines in oil or natural gas prices may have a material adverse effect on financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, the amount of oil or natural gas that we can produce economically and the ability to fund operations. Historically, oil and natural gas prices and markets have been volatile, with prices fluctuating widely, and they are likely to continue to be volatile.
