NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. REPORTING ENTITY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Suncor is Canada’s leading integrated energy company. Suncor’s operations include oil sands development, production and upgrading; offshore oil production; petroleum refining in Canada and the U.S.; and the company’s Petro-Canada™ retail and wholesale distribution networks (including Canada’s Electric Highway™, a coast-to-coast network of fast-charging EV stations). Suncor is developing petroleum resources while advancing the transition to a lower-emissions future through investments in lower emissions intensity power, renewable feedstock fuels and projects targeting emissions intensity. Suncor also conducts energy trading activities focused primarily on the marketing and trading of crude oil, natural gas, byproducts, refined products and power. Suncor’s common shares (symbol: SU) are listed on the TSX and NYSE.
The address of the company’s registered office is 150 – 6th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 3E3.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They are condensed as they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the company for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(b) Basis of Measurement
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except as detailed in the accounting policies disclosed in the company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(c) Functional Currency and Presentation Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the company’s functional currency.
(d) Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgments
The timely preparation of financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions and use judgment. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur. Significant estimates and judgment used in the preparation of the financial statements are described in the company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(e) Income Taxes
The company recognizes the impacts of income tax rate changes in earnings in the period that the applicable rate change is enacted or substantively enacted.
3. NEW IFRS STANDARDS
(a) Adoption of New IFRS Standards
In October 2022, the IASB issued Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1). The amendments improved the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months is subject to compliance with covenants. The company adopted the amendments on the effective date January 1, 2024, and there was no material impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of the initial application.
In September 2022, the IASB issued Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16). The amendments add subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions. The company adopted the amendments on the effective date January 1, 2024, and there was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of the initial application.
2024 Third Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.   45

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(b) Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard will establish a revised structure for the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and improve comparability across entities and reporting periods. IFRS 18 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The standard will be applied retroactively, with certain transition provisions. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting IFRS 18 on the consolidated financial statements.
4. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The company’s operating segments are reported based on the nature of their products and services and management responsibility.
Intersegment sales of crude oil and natural gas are accounted for at market values and are included, for segmented reporting, in revenues of the segment making the transfer and expenses of the segment receiving the transfer. Intersegment amounts are eliminated on consolidation.

During the first quarter of 2024, the TSX accepted a notice filed by Suncor to renew its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase the company’s common shares through the facilities of the TSX, NYSE and/or alternative trading systems. The notice provided that, beginning February 26, 2024, and ending February 25, 2025, Suncor may purchase for cancellation up to 128,700,000 common shares, which is equal to approximately 10% of Suncor’s public float (as defined in the TSX Company Manual) as of February 12, 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the company repurchased 3.4 million common shares under the previous 2023 NCIB and 33.6 million under the 2024 renewed NCIB at an average price of $51.50 per share, for a total repurchase cost of $1.9 billion, including taxes.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the company repurchased 6.8 million common shares under the 2023 renewed NCIB at an average price of $44.20 per share, for a total repurchase cost of $0.3 billion.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative Financial Instruments
(a) Non-Designated Derivative Financial Instruments
The company uses derivative financial instruments, such as physical and financial contracts, to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates, as part of its overall risk management program, as well as for trading purposes.
The changes in the fair value of non-designated derivatives are as follows:
($ millions)
Total
Fair value outstanding at December 31, 2023 (20)
Changes in fair value recognized in earnings during the year
97
Cash settlements – paid (received) during the year
(10)
Fair value outstanding at September 30, 2024 67
(b) Fair Value Hierarchy
To estimate the fair value of derivatives, the company uses quoted market prices when available, or third-party models and valuation methodologies that utilize observable market data. In addition to market information, the company incorporates transaction-specific details that market participants would utilize in a fair value measurement, including the impact of non-performance risk. However, these fair value estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction. The company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 consists of instruments with a fair value determined by an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. An active market is characterized by readily and regularly available quoted prices where the prices are representative of actual and regularly occurring market transactions to assure liquidity.

Level 2 consists of instruments with a fair value that is determined by quoted prices in an inactive market, prices with observable inputs or prices with insignificant non-observable inputs. The fair value of these positions is determined using observable inputs from exchanges, pricing services, third-party independent broker quotes and published transportation tolls. The observable inputs may be adjusted using certain methods, which include extrapolation over the quoted price term and quotes for comparable assets and liabilities.

Level 3 consists of instruments with a fair value that is determined by prices with significant unobservable inputs. As at September 30, 2024, the company does not have any derivative instruments measured at fair value Level 3.
In forming estimates, the company utilizes the most observable inputs available for valuation purposes. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs of different levels within the hierarchy, the measurement is categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on pricing sourced from market data.

13. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the actuarial gain on employee retirement benefit plans was $480 million (net of taxes of $151 million), mainly due to strong plan assets performance while discount rates were unchanged at 4.60% (December 31, 2023 – 4.60%).
