Company Overview (NYSE:BBG) BBG is a Rocky Mountain based oil development company ~ $1 billion enterprise value – ~$500 million market cap 2 areas of operation – DJ Basin, Colorado & Wyoming – Uinta Oil Program, Utah 3Q14 pro forma production ~70% oil – Boe: 15,185 Boe/d – Oil: 10,230 Bbls/d – Gas: 20.1 MMcf/d – NGLs: 1,610 Bbls/d 3
Value Creation 2014 2014 Accomplished key objectives Completed transition from natural gas exploration company to oil development company – Simplified portfolio to two core oil development programs – Focused portfolio in DJ and Uinta basins that offer comparably strong returns – Sold assets that we were no longer investing in Added value to Northeast Wattenberg position by increasing net acreage 20% and negotiating terms to increase flexibility for our drilling operations Strengthened balance sheet: cut net-debt in half, established ample liquidity Settled Cottonwood Gulch litigation with expected proceeds of $42mm Allocated capital to most profitable programs increasing operating profit margin ~40% Initiated extended reach lateral drilling program in DJ to maximize returns – 27 longer lateral wells successfully drilled and completed to date 4
Exceptionally Well Positioned for 2015 Low exposure to risk in challenging commodity price environment • Fully hedged 2014 exit rate oil production – for 2015 ~11,000 b/d hedged at $90 – Minimal sensitivity to oil prices, estimated at less than 5% of cash flow • Ample liquidity – $375 million revolver undrawn – $250+ million cash • Nominal drilling commitments to hold acreage • Flexibility in capital program - short term drilling and completion contracts enable flexibility in total capital commitments, timing of commitments and offer potential to negotiate improved costs • Expect double digit pro forma production growth in 2015 given contribution from wells already drilled coming on-line 5
Hedging Provides Price Predictability Hedge on a 12-month forward basis to reduce risk and support capital expenditure program – 4Q14: 1.3 MMBoe; Oil: 10,600 Bbls/d at $93.88/Bbl; natural gas: 19,158 MMBtu/d at $3.55/MMBtu – 2015: 5.2 MMBoe; Oil 11,171 Bbls/d at $90.13/Bbl; natural gas: 20,000 MMBtu/d at $4.13/MMBtu – 2016: 2.0 MMBoe; Oil 4,746 Bbls/d at $87.46/Bbl; natural gas: 5,000 MMBtu/d at $4.10/MMBtu As of December 5, 2014 Volume (MMBoe) Price ($/Boe) 2.5 $100 2.0 $80 Volume (MMBoe) Price($/Boe) 1.5 $60 1.0 $40 0.5 $20 0.0 $0 4Q14 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 4Q15 Notes: As of December 5, 2014. Average swap price is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent formal guidance. 6
2015 Outlook: Operating Plan in Progress Typically provide full year guidance late January • Current process and considerations in a challenging environment: – Reviewing range of scenarios/rig activity at multiple commodity prices – Maximum scenario under consideration = exit rate rig activity including 3 rigs in the DJ and 1 rig in UOP for total capital program of $475 million. Considering range of scenarios including significantly lower total capital expenditures – Investment decisions based on merits at pre-hedge pricing. Programs will be concentrated on highest return/best payback activity – Mindful of net-debt: EBITDAX with corporate objective of 2.5X or less – Mindful of timing and impacts to 2016 program – Cautious in baking-in cost reductions until they can be realized 7
Preliminary Look at Returns Sensitivity to commodity prices: returns hold up pre-hedge, favor XRLs • Investment decisions based on merits of investment pre-hedge • Northeast Wattenberg XRLs exceed 20% hurdle rate at $65 oil • XRL assumptions: 870 MBoe EUR (3-stream); $8.25 MM D&C costs (includes additional costs for increased sand, stages and plug-n-perf but no additional EUR until evidenced over time) • East Bluebell assumptions: 220 MBoe EUR; $2.5 D&C costs 8
Summary of September Transactions – Totaling $757 million 1. Simplified portfolio 2. Focused on highest return assets 3. Strengthened balance sheet, materially reduced debt 4.

Forward-Looking & Other Cautionary Statements Reserve figures are presented as of December 31, 2013. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This presentation contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside the Company’s control. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. In particular, the Company is providing updated “2014 Operating Guidance,” which contains projections for certain 2014 operational and financial metrics. These and other forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on management’s judgment as of the date of this presentation and include certain risks and uncertainties. Among a number of factors, operations plans are subject to change during the year and such changes can materially affect projected results provided in the Company’s guidance. Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC, and other filings including our Current Reports on Form 8-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for a list of certain risk factors that may affect these forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from Company projections and can be affected by a variety of factors outside the control of the Company including, among other things: oil, NGL and natural gas price volatility, including regional price differentials; costs, availability and timing of build-out of third party facilities for gathering, processing, refining and transportation; delays or other impediments to drilling and completing wells arising from political or judicial developments at the local, state or federal level, including voter initiatives related to hydraulic fracturing; development drilling and testing results; the potential for production decline rates to be greater than expected; regulatory delays, including seasonal or other wildlife restrictions on federal lands; exploration risks such as drilling unsuccessful wells; higher than expected costs and expenses, including the availability and cost of services and materials; unexpected future capital expenditures; economic and competitive conditions; debt and equity market conditions, including the availability and costs of financing to fund the Company’s operations; the ability to obtain industry partners to jointly explore certain prospects, and the willingness and ability of those partners to meet capital obligations when requested; declines in the values of our oil and gas properties resulting in impairments; changes in estimates of proved reserves; compliance with environmental and other regulations; derivative and hedging activities; risks associated with operating in one major geographic area; the success of the Company’s risk management activities; title to properties; litigation; environmental liabilities; and, other factors discussed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC. Bill Barrett Corporation encourages readers to consider the risks and uncertainties associated with projections and other forward-looking statements and to not place undue reliance on any such statements. In addition, the Company assumes no obligation to publicly revise or update any forward-looking statements based on future events or circumstances. NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS: Effective January 1, 2013, the Company began reporting its production volumes on a three-stream basis, which separately reports NGLs extracted from the natural gas stream and sold as a distinct product. 2013 year-end reserves are presented on a three-stream basis, and year-end 2012 reserves are recalculated to reflect three-stream volumes for comparability. NGL volumes are converted to an oil equivalent based on 42 gallons per barrel and compared to overall gas equivalent production based on a 1 barrel to 6 Mcf ratio. 39
Forward-Looking & Other Cautionary Statements NON-GAAP MEASURES: EBITDAX - is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is presented because management believes that it is useful to an investor for evaluating the Company’s operating performance. This is a widely used measure by investors in the oil and gas industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors. There are significant limitations to using EBITDAX as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect net income or loss, the lack of comparability of results of operations of different companies and the different methods of calculating EBITDAX reported by different companies. The Company’s calculation of EBITDAX is discretionary cash flow plus cash interest expense and cash tax expense added back. RESERVE and RESOURCE DISCLOSURE -The SEC permits oil and gas companies to disclose proved, probable and possible reserves in their filings with the SEC. The Company does not plan to include probable and possible reserve estimates in its filings with the SEC. We may use certain terms, such as “risked resources,” that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. The calculation of risked resources, and any other estimates of reserves and resources that are not proved, probable or possible reserves are not necessarily calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines. Our estimate of risked resources is not prepared or reviewed by third party engineers, is determined using strip pricing, which we use internally for planning and budgeting purposes, and may differ from an un-risked estimate of proved, probable and possible reserves. The Company’s estimate of risked resources is provided in this release because management believes it is useful, additional information that is widely used by the investment community in the valuation, comparison and analysis of companies; however, the Company’s estimate of risked resources may not be comparable to similar metrics provided by other companies. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, available on the Company’s website at www.billbarrettcorp.com or from the corporate offices at 1099 18th Street, Suite 2300, Denver, CO 80202. You can also obtain this form from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or at www.sec.gov. FINDING AND DEVELOPMENT COST – Finding and development cost is a non-GAAP metric commonly used in the exploration and production industry. Calculations presented by the Company are based on costs incurred, as adjusted by the Company, divided by reserve additions and are unaudited. 40
