​
2   2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.
•
Suncor’s adjusted operating earnings were $1.566 billion ($1.25 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $1.635 billion ($1.26 per common share) in the prior year quarter, with the decrease primarily due to lower refined product realizations, increased royalties due to higher heavy crude price realizations, and increased depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense, partially offset by higher sales volumes.
​
•
Net earnings were $818 million ($0.65 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $2.820 billion ($2.18 per common share) in the prior year quarter. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted operating earnings, net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the prior year quarter were impacted by the reconciling items shown in the table above.
​
•
Adjusted funds from operations were $3.493 billion ($2.78 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $4.034 billion ($3.12 per common share) in the prior year quarter, and were primarily influenced by the same factors impacting adjusted operating earnings, as well as a larger tax benefit relating to the acquisition of TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. in the prior year quarter compared to the current quarter.
​
•
Cash flow provided by operating activities, which includes changes in non-cash working capital, increased to $5.083 billion ($4.05 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $4.318 billion ($3.34 per common share) in the prior year quarter.
​
•
Operating, selling and general (OS&G) expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 were comparable to the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreased operations and maintenance costs and lower commodity costs being offset by the company’s increased working interest in Fort Hills and increased share-based compensation.

•
Total Oil Sands bitumen production increased to a record 951,500 bbls/d in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 866,200 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to record production at Firebag, the company’s increased working interest at Fort Hills and strong mining performance.
​
•
The company’s net synthetic crude oil (SCO) production increased to a fourth quarter record of 543,600 bbls/d, compared to 475,700 bbls/d in the prior year quarter as the company leveraged its unparalleled regional integration and high reliability, and included record quarterly upgrader utilization of 105% at Syncrude and fourth quarter record upgrader utilization of 102% at Oil Sands Base, compared to 101% and 83%, respectively, in the prior year quarter. The increase was also due to fewer planned maintenance activities at Oil Sands Base in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
​
•
Non-upgraded bitumen production decreased to 273,900 bbls/d in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 281,700 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, due to higher upgrader availability more than offsetting increased bitumen production.
​
•
Exploration and Production (E&P) production increased to 57,500 bbls/d in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 50,700 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the addition of production from Terra Nova, and increased production at Hibernia, partially offset by the absence of production from White Rose due to the asset life extension project.
​
•
Strong operating performance resulted in utilization rates above 100% at all refineries for the second consecutive quarter. Overall utilization was 104% and throughput was 486,200 bbls/d, compared to 98% and 455,900 bbls/d, respectively, in the prior year quarter.
​
•
Achieved record refined product sales of 613,300 bbls/d in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 575,500 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, with the increase primarily due to higher refinery throughput and the benefit of the company’s continued investment in its extensive retail and broader sales network.

​
•
New cogeneration facility begins operating. The company began operating a cogeneration facility to replace the coke-fired boilers at Oil Sands Base Plant, which provides the steam generation required for extraction and upgrading activities at a lower cost. The cogeneration facility also generates lower-carbon-intensive power for Alberta’s power grid.
​
•
Quarterly dividend increase. Suncor increased its quarterly dividend by approximately 5% to $0.57 per share.
​
•
Debt reduction of  $1.1 billion. Suncor repaid approximately $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of certain series of the company’s outstanding notes, capturing significant economic value and reducing future interest obligations.

Suncor’s current NCIB will terminate on February 25, 2025. The company intends to make an application to renew the NCIB program subsequent to the expiration of its current NCIB.
Between February 26, 2024, and February 3, 2025 pursuant to Suncor’s NCIB, Suncor repurchased 56,891,592 common shares on the open market, representing the equivalent of 4.4% of its common shares as at February 12, 2024, for $3.021 billion, at a weighted average price of $53.10 per share.
The actual number of common shares that may be purchased under the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Suncor. The company believes that, depending on the trading price of its common shares and other relevant factors, repurchasing its own shares represents an attractive investment opportunity and is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. The company does not expect the decision to allocate cash to repurchase shares will affect its long-term strategy.

Bridge Analysis of Adjusted Operating Earnings ($ millions)(1)
[MISSING IMAGE: bc_financial-pn.jpg]
(1)
For an explanation of this bridge analysis, see the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section of this document.
​
Suncor’s adjusted operating earnings were $1.566 billion ($1.25 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $1.635 billion ($1.26 per common share) in the prior year quarter, with the decrease primarily due to lower refined product realizations, increased royalties due to higher heavy crude price realizations, and increased depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense, partially offset by higher sales volumes.
Adjusted Funds from Operations and Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
Adjusted funds from operations were $3.493 billion ($2.78 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $4.034 billion ($3.12 per common share) in the prior year quarter, and were primarily influenced by the same factors impacting adjusted operating earnings, as well as a larger tax benefit relating to the acquisition of TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. in the prior year quarter compared to the current quarter.
2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.   9
FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
Cash flow provided by operating activities, which includes changes in non-cash working capital, was $5.083 billion ($4.05 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $4.318 billion ($3.34 per common share) in the prior year quarter. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted funds from operations, cash flow provided by operating activities was impacted by a larger source of cash associated with the company’s working capital balances in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter. Working capital is subject to fluctuations based on commodity prices, the timing of transactions and seasonal factors. The source of cash in the fourth quarter of 2024 was due to decreased accounts receivable balances, primarily due to a decrease in benchmark commodity prices during the quarter and the timing of cargo settlements, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which includes the timing impact of commodity taxes payable, and a draw of inventory related to increased sales volumes.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, share-based compensation expense of  $147 million included $54 million in the Oil Sands segment, $4 million in the E&P segment, $23 million in the refining and marketing (R&M) segment and $66 million in the Corporate and Eliminations segment. In the fourth quarter of 2023, share-based compensation expense of  $75 million included $27 million in the Oil Sands segment, $2 million in the E&P segment, $10 million in the R&M segment and $36 million in the Corporate and Eliminations segment. In the fourth quarter of 2023, other primarily included costs associated with investments in the company’s digital transformation and spend related to project development. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, other included a $275 million restructuring charge related to workforce reduction.
​
OS&G expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 were comparable to the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreased operations and maintenance costs and lower commodity costs being offset by the company’s increased working interest in Fort Hills and increased share-based compensation. The company’s exposure to commodity costs is partially mitigated by revenue from power sales that are recorded in operating revenues.

2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.   13
FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
Total Oil Sands bitumen production increased to a record 951,500 bbls/d in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 866,200 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to record production at Firebag, the company’s increased working interest at Fort Hills and strong mining performance.
The company’s SCO production increased to a fourth quarter record of 543,600 bbls/d, compared to 475,700 bbls/d in the prior year quarter as the company leveraged its unparalleled regional integration and high reliability, and included record quarterly upgrader utilization of 105% at Syncrude and fourth quarter record upgrader utilization of 102% at Oil Sands Base, compared to 101% and 83%, respectively, in the prior year quarter. The increase was also due to fewer planned maintenance activities at Oil Sands Base in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
Non-upgraded bitumen production decreased to 273,900 bbls/d in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 281,700 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, due to higher upgrader availability more than offsetting increased bitumen production.

SCO and diesel sales volumes increased to 538,300 bbls/d in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 457,300 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the increase in SCO production volumes and a smaller build of inventory in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter.
Non-upgraded bitumen sales volumes increased to 282,300 bbls/d in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 277,500 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the increase in non-upgraded bitumen production volumes in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter and a draw of inventory in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to a build in the prior year quarter.

​
Oil Sands price realizations increased in the fourth quarter of 2024 from the prior year quarter, primarily due to the improvement of heavy crude differentials and synthetic premiums, partially offset by the weakening of crude oil benchmark prices.
Royalties
Royalties for the Oil Sands segment increased in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher bitumen pricing and higher bitumen production volumes.
Expenses and Other Factors
Total Oil Sands operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 were comparable to the prior year quarter, consistent with the company’s focus on asset level cost reduction and operating leverage, and included lower commodity costs and lower maintenance and operations costs, offset by the company’s increased working interest in Fort Hills and increased share-based compensation expense.
Transportation costs decreased in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower exported sales volumes as a result of increased sales within Canada and directing more feedstock to Suncor upgraders and refineries, highlighting the logistical flexibility of Suncor’s regionally integrated assets.
14   2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.
DD&A expense, excluding the impacts of derecognitions and impairments, increased in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the commissioning of new assets, new leases entered into during the quarter and increased depreciation related to the company’s asset retirement obligation assets.
Financing expense and other, which includes other income, adjusted for the $1.125 billion non-cash gain on acquisition in the prior year quarter, increased in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the reversal of a provision in the prior year quarter.

FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
Oil Sands operations cash operating costs per barrel(1) decreased to $26.55 in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $30.80 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased production volumes and lower commodity costs, partially offset by a higher proportion of Fort Hills bitumen being directed to upgrading at Oil Sands Base and a decrease in excess power revenues resulting from lower power prices.
Fort Hills cash operating costs per barrel(1) increased to $34.25 in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $28.10 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower absolute production volumes, and increased mining activity pursuant to the Fort Hills mine plan. On a gross basis, Fort Hills cash operating costs were consistent with the prior year period and annual cash operating costs per barrel were lower in 2024 compared to 2023.
Syncrude cash operating costs per barrel(1) decreased to $32.80 in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $33.85 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased production volumes, displacement of contractor tonnage, workforce optimizations and lower natural gas prices.
Planned Maintenance Update
There are no significant planned maintenance events for the Oil Sands segment scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
Asset Transactions
On February 2, 2023, the company completed the acquisition of an additional 14.65% working interest in Fort Hills for $712 million, bringing the company’s working interest in Fort Hills to 68.76%.
On November 20, 2023, Suncor completed the acquisition of TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd., which held the remaining 31.23% working interest in Fort Hills, for $1.468 billion before closing adjustments and other closing costs, making Suncor the sole owner of Fort Hills.

R&M adjusted operating earnings in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $410 million, compared to $598 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in adjusted operating earnings was primarily due to lower benchmark crack spreads, partially offset by increased refinery production and a lower first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory valuation loss in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter.

2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.   19
FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
Strong operating performance resulted in utilization rates above 100% at all refineries for the second consecutive quarter. Overall utilization was 104% and throughput was 486,200 bbls/d, compared to 98% and 455,900 bbls/d, respectively, in the prior year quarter.
Achieved record refined product sales of 613,300 bbls/d in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 575,500 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, with the increase primarily due to higher refinery throughput and the benefit of the company’s continued investment in its extensive retail and broader sales network.
Refining and Marketing Gross Margins(1)
Refining and marketing gross margins were influenced by the following:
•
On a LIFO(2) basis, Suncor’s refining and marketing gross margin decreased to $30.60/bbl in the fourth quarter of 2024, from $47.05/bbl in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower benchmark crack spreads, partially offset by higher location differentials associated with the company’s regional markets, contributing to a 90% margin capture compared to Suncor’s 5-2-2-1 index.
​
•
On a FIFO basis, Suncor’s refining and marketing gross margin decreased to $30.00/bbl in the fourth quarter of 2024, from $37.45/bbl in the prior year quarter, due to the same factors discussed above, in addition to FIFO inventory valuation impacts. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the FIFO method of inventory valuation resulted in a loss of $29 million, compared to a loss of $431 million in the prior year quarter, for a favourable quarter-over-quarter impact of $402 million.
​
Expenses and Other Factors
Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower maintenance costs in the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by increased share-based compensation expense. Transportation expenses increased in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased sales volumes, including higher exports.
Refining operating expense per barrel(1) decreased to $6.55 in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $7.65 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower maintenance costs and higher refinery production.
Planned Maintenance
Planned maintenance activities are scheduled at the company’s Sarnia refinery during the first quarter of 2025 and are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025. The anticipated impact of these maintenance activities has been reflected in the company’s 2025 guidance.

During the first quarter of 2023, the company recorded a gain of  $302 million on the sale of its wind and solar assets.
​
Corporate incurred an adjusted operating loss of $92 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $341 million in the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to an increased operational foreign exchange gain in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter. Suncor capitalized $72 million of its borrowing costs in the fourth quarter of 2024 as part of the cost of major development assets and construction projects in progress, compared to $70 million in the prior year quarter.
Eliminations reflect the deferral or realization of profit or loss on crude oil sales from Oil Sands to Suncor’s refineries. Consolidated profits and losses are only realized when the refined products from internal purchases have been sold to third parties. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the company deferred $108 million of intersegment profit, compared to a realization of $299 million in the prior year quarter. The deferral of intersegment profit in the current quarter was primarily driven by an increase in intersegment inventory volumes.
Corporate and Eliminations adjusted funds used in operations were $131 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to adjusted funds from operations of $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, and were influenced by the same factors impacting adjusted operating earnings, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense.

The provision for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased to $272 million, compared to $570 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a decrease in taxable earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the company’s effective tax rate on net earnings increased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the impact of the non-taxable gain on the acquisition of TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. in the prior year quarter, as well as non-taxable foreign exchange losses on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated debt, and other permanent items impacting total tax expense in the current quarter.

​
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the company incurred $1.498 billion of capital expenditures, excluding capitalized interest, compared to $1.482 billion in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by increased economic investment expenditures at Fort Hills due to the company’s increased working interest, and increased asset sustainment and maintenance expenditures at R&M, partially offset by decreased expenditures at Oil Sands Base due to significant planned turnaround activities in the prior year quarter.
Activity in the fourth quarter of 2024 is summarized by business unit below.
Oil Sands
In the Oil Sands segment, the company has deployed 45 of 55 new 400 tonne ultra-class haul trucks to displace smaller, less efficient and more expensive third-party trucks, with the remaining 10 anticipated to be deployed in the first quarter of 2025.
Oil Sands Base capital expenditures were $351 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and were primarily directed towards economic investment expenditures related to the Upgrader 1 coke drum replacement, replacing the coke-fired boilers with a new cogeneration facility and the purchase of haul trucks equipped with autonomous haul systems (AHS). Asset sustainment and maintenance expenditures were primarily related to the planned turnarounds, mine tailings and other maintenance projects.
At Oil Sands Base, the company achieved its 2024 year-end deployment target of 91 autonomous haul trucks and transitioned 100% of ore to being delivered autonomously. Achieving this milestone has established Oil Sands Base as the largest single-site deployment of AHS ultra-class trucks in the world. Autonomous haulage is a key lever for Suncor to deliver a safer, more reliable, and more cost-effective operation.
In Situ capital expenditures were $134 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and were primarily directed towards economic investment activities focused on the ongoing design and construction of well pads to develop additional reserves that are intended to maintain existing production levels. Asset sustainment and maintenance expenditures were primarily related to planned turnaround activities and other maintenance projects.

Capital Resources
Suncor’s capital resources consist primarily of cash flow provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, and available lines of credit. Suncor’s management believes the company will have the capital resources required to fund its planned 2025 capital spending program of $6.1 billion to $6.3 billion, and to meet current and future working capital requirements, through cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow provided by operating activities, available committed credit facilities, issuing commercial paper and, if needed, accessing capital markets. The company’s cash flow provided by operating activities depends on several factors, including commodity prices, production, sales volumes, refining and marketing gross margins, operating expenses, taxes, royalties and foreign exchange rates.
The company has invested cash in short-term financial instruments that are presented as cash and cash equivalents. The objectives of the company’s short-term investment portfolio are to ensure the preservation of capital, maintain adequate liquidity to meet Suncor’s cash flow requirements, and deliver competitive returns derived from the quality and diversification of investments within acceptable risk parameters. The maximum weighted average term to maturity of the short-term investment portfolio is not expected to exceed six months, and all investments are with counterparties with investment-grade debt ratings.
Available Sources of Liquidity
For the three months ended December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents increased to $3.484 billion from $3.005 billion as at September 30, 2024. The source of cash in the fourth quarter of 2024 was due to the company’s cash flow provided by operating activities exceeding the company’s capital and exploration expenditures, the repayment of long-term debt, the repurchase of Suncor’s common shares under its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) and the payment of dividends.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents increased to $3.484 billion from $1.729 billion as at December 31, 2023, due to the company’s cash flow provided by operating activities exceeding the company’s capital and exploration expenditures, the repurchase of Suncor’s common shares under its NCIB, the payment of dividends, the repayment of long-term debt and a decrease in short-term indebtedness.
As at December 31, 2024, the weighted average days to maturity of the company’s short-term investment portfolio was approximately 16 days.
As at December 31, 2024, available credit facilities for liquidity purposes were $5.475 billion, compared to $4.957 billion as at December 31, 2023. The increase in available credit facilities was primarily due to a decrease in short-term indebtedness. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the company extended the maturity of its syndicated credit facilities from June 2026 to October 2027 and October 2028.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Standard & Poor’s downgraded Suncor’s long-term senior debt rating to a BBB- rating, with a stable outlook. Suncor’s other-long term senior debt ratings remain unchanged.
Financing Activities
Management of debt levels and liquidity continues to be a priority for Suncor given the company’s long-term plans and the expected future volatility in the business environment. Suncor believes a phased and flexible approach to existing and future projects will help the company maintain its ability to manage project costs and debt levels.
2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.   25
FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
Total Debt to Total Debt Plus Shareholders’ Equity
Suncor is subject to financial and operating covenants related to its bank debt and public market debt. Failure to meet the terms of one or more of these covenants may constitute an “event of default” as defined in the respective debt agreements, potentially resulting in accelerated repayment of one or more of the debt obligations. The company is in compliance with its financial covenant that requires total debt and lease liabilities to not exceed 65% of its total debt and lease liabilities plus shareholders’ equity. As at December 31, 2024, total debt and lease liabilities to total debt and lease liabilities plus shareholders’ equity was 24.8% (December 31, 2023 – 26.3%). The company also continues to be in compliance with all operating covenants under its debt agreements.

The company’s total debt decreased in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to the repayment of $1.1 billion of long-term debt, partially offset by unfavourable foreign exchange rates on U.S. dollar denominated debt compared to September 30, 2024.
The company’s total debt decreased in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the repayment of long-term debt and a decrease in short-term indebtedness, partially offset by unfavourable foreign exchange rates on U.S. dollar denominated debt compared to December 31, 2023.
As at December 31, 2024, Suncor’s net debt was $6.861 billion, compared to $7.968 billion at September 30, 2024, and $9.852 billion at December 31, 2023. The decrease in net debt was primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and the factors discussed above.

Suncor’s current NCIB will terminate on February 25, 2025. The company intends to make an application to renew the NCIB program subsequent to the expiration of its current NCIB.
Between February 26, 2024, and February 3, 2025, pursuant to Suncor’s NCIB, Suncor repurchased 56,891,592 common shares on the open market, representing the equivalent of 4.4% of its common shares as at February 12, 2024, for $3.021 billion, at a weighted average price of $53.10 per share.
The actual number of common shares that may be purchased under the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Suncor. The company believes that, depending on the trading price of its common shares and other relevant factors, repurchasing its own shares represents an attractive investment opportunity and is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. The company does not expect the decision to allocate cash to repurchase shares will affect its long-term strategy.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Guarantees and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the company is obligated to make future payments, including contractual obligations and non-cancellable commitments. Suncor has included these items in the Financial Condition and Liquidity section of the 2023 annual MD&A, with no material updates to note during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Suncor does not believe it has any guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the company’s financial performance or financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
7. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA
Trends in Suncor’s quarterly revenue, earnings and adjusted funds from operations are driven primarily by production volumes, which can be significantly impacted by major maintenance events, changes in commodity prices and crude differentials, refining crack spreads, foreign exchange rates and other significant events impacting operations, such as operational incidents.

2-1-1 crack spreads are indicators of the refining margin generated by converting two barrels of WTI into one barrel of gasoline and one barrel of diesel. The crack spreads presented here generally approximate the regions into which the company sells refined products through retail and wholesale channels.

Suncor has developed an indicative 5-2-2-1 index based on publicly available pricing data to more accurately reflect the company’s realized refining and marketing gross margin. For more details, including how the custom index is calculated, see Suncor’s 2023 annual MD&A.

FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
8. OTHER ITEMS
Accounting Policies and New IFRS Standards
Suncor’s significant accounting policies and a summary of recently announced accounting standards are described in the Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates section of Suncor’s 2023 annual MD&A and in notes 3 and 5 of Suncor’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, gains and losses, and disclosures of contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are subject to change based on experience and new information. Critical accounting estimates are those that require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Critical accounting estimates are also those estimates that, where a different estimate could have been used or where changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material impact on the company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or financial performance. Critical accounting estimates and judgments are reviewed annually by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. A detailed description of Suncor’s critical accounting estimates is provided in note 4 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in the Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates section of Suncor’s 2023 annual MD&A.
Financial Instruments
Suncor periodically enters into derivative contracts such as forwards, futures, swaps, options and costless collars to manage exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, and to optimize the company’s position with respect to interest payments. For more information on Suncor’s financial instruments and the related financial risk factors, see note 27 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, note 10 to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and the Financial Condition and Liquidity section of the 2023 annual MD&A.

Certain financial measures in this document – namely adjusted operating earnings (loss), adjusted funds from (used in) operations, measures contained in ROCE and ROCE excluding impairments and impairment reversals, price realizations, free funds flow, Oil Sands operations cash operating costs, Fort Hills cash operating costs, Syncrude cash operating costs, refining and marketing gross margin, refining operating expense, net debt, total debt, LIFO inventory valuation methodology and related per share or per barrel amounts or metrics that contain such measures – are not prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are included because management uses the information to analyze business performance, leverage and liquidity, as applicable, and it may be useful to investors on the same basis. These non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Therefore, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP financial measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods.
Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss)
Adjusted operating earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts net earnings (loss) for significant items that are not indicative of operating performance. Management uses adjusted operating earnings (loss) to evaluate operating performance because management believes it provides better comparability between periods. Adjusted operating earnings (loss) is reconciled to net earnings (loss) in the Consolidated Financial and Operating Information and Segment Results and Analysis sections of this document.
Bridge Analyses of Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss)
Within this document, the company presents a chart that illustrates the change in adjusted operating earnings (loss) from the comparative period through key variance factors. These factors are analyzed in the Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) narratives following the bridge analysis in this document. This bridge analysis is presented because management uses this presentation to evaluate performance. All reconciling items are presented on a before-tax basis and adjusted for income taxes in the Income Tax bridge factor.
•
The factor for Sales Volumes and Mix is calculated based on sales volumes and mix for the Oil Sands and E&P segments and refinery production volumes for the R&M segment.
​
•
The factor for Price, Margin and Other Revenue includes upstream price realizations before royalties, except for the company’s Libya operations, which is net of royalties, and realized commodity risk management activities. Also included are refining and marketing gross margins, other operating revenue and the net impacts of sales and purchases of third-party crude, including product purchased for use as diluent in the company’s Oil Sands operations and subsequently sold as part of diluted bitumen.
​
•
The factor for Royalties excludes the impact of the company’s Libya operations, as royalties in Libya are included in Price, Margin and Other Revenue as described above.
​
•
The factor for Inventory Valuation is comprised of changes in the FIFO inventory valuation and the realized portion of commodity risk management activities reported in the R&M segment, as well as the impact of the deferral or realization of profit or loss on crude oil sales from the Oil Sands segment to Suncor’s refineries reported in the Corporate and Eliminations segment.
​
•
The factor for Operating and Transportation Expense includes project startup costs, OS&G expense and transportation expense.
​
•
The factor for Financing Expense and Other includes financing expenses, other income, operational foreign exchange gains and losses and changes in gains and losses on disposal of assets that are not adjusted operating earnings (loss) adjustments.
​
•
The factor for DD&A and Exploration Expense includes depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and exploration expense.
​
•
The factor for Income Tax includes the company’s current and deferred income tax expense on adjusted operating earnings, changes in statutory income tax rates and other income tax adjustments.
​
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and ROCE Excluding Impairments and Impairment Reversals
ROCE is a non-GAAP ratio that management uses to analyze operating performance and the efficiency of Suncor’s capital allocation process. ROCE is calculated using the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net earnings and average capital employed. Adjusted net earnings are calculated by taking net earnings (loss) and adjusting after-tax amounts for unrealized

FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
foreign exchange on U.S. dollar denominated debt and net interest expense. Average capital employed is calculated as a twelve-month average of the capital employed balance at the beginning of the twelve-month period and the month-end capital employed balances throughout the remainder of the twelve-month period. Figures for capital employed at the beginning and end of the twelve-month period are presented to show the changes in the components of the calculation over the twelve-month period.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, the company revised the definition of ROCE to exclude lease liabilities from the calculation of average capital employed and interest on lease liabilities from net interest expense to better align with how management and industry monitor capital structure. Prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect this change.
​
Adjusted Funds From (Used In) Operations
Adjusted funds from (used in) operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts a GAAP measure – cash flow provided by operating activities – for changes in non-cash working capital, which management uses to analyze operating performance and liquidity. Changes to non-cash working capital can be impacted by, among other factors, commodity price volatility, the timing of offshore feedstock purchases and payments for commodity and income taxes, the timing of cash flows related to accounts receivable and accounts payable, and changes in inventory, which management believes reduces comparability between periods.
Adjusted funds from (used in) operations for each quarter are separately defined and reconciled to the cash flow provided by the operating activities measure in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section of each respective MD&A or Quarterly Report to shareholders, as applicable, for the related quarter, with such information being incorporated by reference herein and available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Free Funds Flow
Free funds flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by taking adjusted funds from operations and subtracting capital expenditures, including capitalized interest. Free funds flow reflects cash available for increasing distributions to shareholders and reducing debt. Management uses free funds flow to measure the capacity of the company to increase returns to shareholders and to grow Suncor’s business.

FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
Normalized Free Funds Flow
Normalized free funds flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by taking free funds flow and normalizing it for a US$75 WTI price environment, as indicated in the table below. Management uses normalized free funds flow as a more comparable historical measure of free funds flow that holds the business environment constant to measure the company’s progress against its free funds flow growth expectations.

Oil Sands Operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude Cash Operating Costs
Cash operating costs are calculated by adjusting Oil Sands segment OS&G expenses for non-production costs and excess power capacity. Significant non-production costs include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation adjustments, research costs, project startup costs and adjustments to reflect the cost of internal transfers in the receiving asset at the cost of production versus the cost of purchase. Non-production costs at Fort Hills and Syncrude also include, but are not limited to, an adjustment to reflect internally produced diesel from Oil Sands operations at the cost of production. Excess power capacity represents excess power revenue from cogeneration units that is recorded in operating revenues. Oil Sands operations excess power capacity and other also includes, but is not limited to, the natural gas expense recorded as part of a non-monetary arrangement involving a third-party processor. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude production volumes are gross of internally consumed diesel and feedstock transfers between assets. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude cash operating costs are reconciled in the Segment Results and Analysis – Oil Sands – Cash Operating Costs section of this document. Management uses cash operating costs to measure operating performance.
Refining and Marketing Gross Margin and Refining Operating Expense
Refining and marketing gross margins and refining operating expense are non-GAAP financial measures. Refining and marketing gross margin, on a FIFO basis, is calculated by adjusting R&M segment operating revenue, other income and purchases of crude oil and products (all of which are GAAP measures) for intersegment marketing fees recorded in intersegment revenues. Refining and marketing gross margin, on a LIFO basis, is further adjusted for the impacts of FIFO inventory valuation recorded in purchases of crude oil and products and risk management activities recorded in other income (loss). Refinery operating expense is calculated by adjusting R&M segment OS&G expenses for i) non-refining costs pertaining to the company’s supply, marketing and ethanol businesses; and ii) non-refining costs that management believes do not relate to the production of refined products, including, but not limited to, share-based compensation and enterprise shared service allocations. Management uses refining and marketing gross margin and refining operating expense to measure operating performance on a production barrel basis.

FOURTH QUARTER DISCUSSION
Impact of FIFO Inventory Valuation on Refining and Marketing Net Earnings (Loss)
GAAP requires the use of a FIFO inventory valuation methodology. For Suncor, this results in a disconnect between the sales prices for refined products, which reflect current market conditions, and the amount recorded as the cost of sale for the related refinery feedstock, which reflects market conditions at the time the feedstock was purchased. This lag between purchase and sale can be anywhere from several weeks to several months and is influenced by the time to receive crude after purchase, regional crude inventory levels, the completion of refining processes, transportation time to distribution channels and regional refined product inventory levels.
Suncor prepares and presents an estimate of the impact of using a FIFO inventory valuation methodology compared to a LIFO methodology, because management uses the information to analyze operating performance and compare itself against refining peers that are permitted to use LIFO inventory valuation under U.S. GAAP.
The company’s estimate is not derived from a standardized calculation and, therefore, may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP or U.S. GAAP.
Net Debt and Total Debt
Net debt and total debt are non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to analyze the financial condition of the company. Total debt includes short-term debt, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt (all of which are GAAP measures). Net debt is equal to total debt less cash and cash equivalents (a GAAP measure).

Price Realizations
Price realizations are a non-GAAP measure used by management to measure profitability. Oil Sands price realizations are presented on a crude product basis and are derived from the Oil Sands segmented statement of net earnings (loss), after adjusting for items not directly attributable to the revenues associated with production. E&P price realizations are presented on an asset location basis and are derived from the E&P segmented statement of net earnings (loss), after adjusting for other E&P assets, such as Libya, for which price realizations are not provided.

11. ADVISORIES
Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements and other information based on Suncor’s current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions that were made by the company in light of information available at the time the statement was made and consider Suncor’s experience and its perception of historical trends, including expectations and assumptions concerning: the accuracy of reserves estimates; commodity prices and interest and foreign exchange rates; the performance of assets and equipment; uncertainty related to geopolitical conflict; capital efficiencies and cost savings; applicable laws and government policies; future production rates; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the availability and cost of labour, services and infrastructure; the satisfaction by third parties of their obligations to Suncor; the development and execution of projects; and the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and third-party approvals. All statements and information that address expectations or projections about the future, and other statements and information about Suncor’s strategy for growth, expected and future expenditures or investment decisions, commodity prices, costs, schedules, production volumes, operating and financial results, future financing and capital activities, and the expected impact of future commitments are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements may be identified by words like “expects”, “anticipates”, “will”, “estimates”, “plans”, “scheduled”, “intends”, “believes”, “projects”, “indicates”, “could”, “focus”, “vision”, “goal”, “outlook”, “proposed”, “target”, “objective”, “continue”, “should”, “may”, “future”, “potential”, “opportunity”, “would”, “priority”, “strategy” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this document include references to:
•
Suncor’s strategy, focus, goals and priorities and the expected benefits therefrom;
​
•
expectations regarding planned maintenance events, specifically the expectation that scheduled maintenance activities at the Sarnia refinery will commence in first quarter of 2025 and be completed in the second quarter of 2025;
​
•
Suncor’s expectation that In Situ design and construction of new well pads will maintain existing production levels;
​
•
statements regarding Suncor’s planned 2025 capital spending program of $6.1 billion to $6.3 billion, including Suncor’s management’s belief that it will have the capital resources to fund it and to meet current and future working capital requirements through cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow provided by operating activities, available committed credit facilities, issuing commercial paper and, if needed, accessing capital markets;
​
•
the expectation that 10 additional new 400 tonne ultra-class haul trucks will be deployed in the first quarter of 2025;
​
•
the objectives of Suncor’s short-term investment portfolio and Suncor’s expectation that the maximum weighted average term to maturity of the short-term investment portfolio will not exceed six months, and that all investments will be with counterparties with investment-grade debt ratings;
​
•
the company’s priority regarding the management of debt levels and liquidity given the company’s long-term plans and future expected volatility in the pricing environment, and Suncor’s belief that a phased and flexible approach to existing and future projects will help the company manage project costs and debt levels;
​
•
the company’s belief that it does not have any guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the company’s financial performance or financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures; and
​
•
the company’s intention to apply for a renewed NCIB subsequent to the expiration of its current NCIB.
​
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some that are similar to other oil and gas companies and some that are unique to Suncor. Suncor’s actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by its forward-looking statements, so readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. The financial and operating performance of the company’s reportable operating segments, specifically Oil Sands, E&P and R&M, may be affected by a number of factors.
Factors that affect Suncor’s Oil Sands segment include, but are not limited to, volatility in the prices for crude oil and other production, and the related impacts of fluctuating light/heavy and sweet/sour crude oil differentials; changes in the demand for refinery feedstock and diesel fuel, including the possibility that refiners that process the company’s proprietary production will be closed, experience equipment failure or other accidents; Suncor’s ability to operate its Oil Sands facilities reliably in order to meet production targets; the output of newly commissioned facilities, the performance of which may be difficult to predict during initial operations; Suncor’s dependence on pipeline capacity and other logistical constraints, which may affect the company’s ability to distribute products to market and which may cause the company to delay or cancel planned growth projects in the event of insufficient takeaway capacity; Suncor’s ability to finance Oil Sands economic investment and asset sustainment and maintenance capital expenditures; the availability of bitumen feedstock for upgrading operations, which can be negatively affected by poor ore grade quality, unplanned mine equipment and extraction plant maintenance, tailings storage, and In Situ reservoir and equipment performance, or the unavailability of third-party bitumen; changes in operating costs, including the cost of labour, natural gas and other energy sources used in oil sands processes; and the company’s ability to complete projects, including planned maintenance events, both on time and on budget, which could be impacted by competition from other projects (including other oil sands projects) for goods and services and demands on infrastructure in Alberta’s Wood Buffalo region and the surrounding area (including housing, roads and schools).
42   2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.
Factors that affect Suncor’s E&P segment include, but are not limited to, volatility in crude oil and natural gas prices; operational risks and uncertainties associated with oil and gas activities, including unexpected formations or pressures, premature declines of reservoirs, fires, blow-outs, equipment failures and other accidents, uncontrollable flows of crude oil, natural gas or well fluids, and pollution and other environmental risks; adverse weather conditions, which could disrupt output from producing assets or impact drilling programs, resulting in increased costs and/or delays in bringing on new production; political, economic and socioeconomic risks associated with Suncor’s foreign operations, including the unpredictability of operating in Libya due to ongoing political unrest; and market demand for mineral rights and producing properties, potentially leading to losses on disposition or increased property acquisition costs.
Factors that affect the R&M segment include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in demand and supply for refined products that impact the company’s margins; market competition, including potential new market entrants; the company’s ability to reliably operate refining and marketing facilities to meet production or sales targets; and risks and uncertainties affecting construction or planned maintenance schedules, including the availability of labour and other impacts of competing projects drawing on the same resources during the same time period.
Additional risks, uncertainties and other factors that could influence the financial and operating performance of all of Suncor’s operating segments and activities include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic, market and business conditions, such as commodity prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and potential trade tariffs (including as a result of demand and supply effects resulting from the actions of OPEC+ and/or the impact of armed conflicts in the Middle East, the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and/or the impact of changes to the U.S. government economic policy); fluctuations in supply and demand for Suncor’s products; the successful and timely implementation of capital projects, including growth projects and regulatory projects; risks associated with the development and execution of Suncor’s major projects and the commissioning and integration of new facilities; the possibility that completed maintenance activities may not improve operational performance or the output of related facilities; the risk that projects and initiatives intended to achieve cash flow growth and/or reductions in operating costs may not achieve the expected results in the time anticipated or at all; competitive actions of other companies, including increased competition from other oil and gas companies or from companies that provide alternative sources of energy; labour and material shortages; actions by government authorities, including the imposition or reassessment of, or changes to, taxes, fees, royalties, duties and other government-imposed compliance costs; changes to laws and government policies that could impact the company’s business, including environmental (including climate change), royalty and tax laws and policies; the ability and willingness of parties with whom Suncor has material relationships to perform their obligations to the company; the unavailability of, or outages to, third-party infrastructure that could cause disruptions to production or prevent the company from being able to transport its products; the occurrence of a protracted operational outage, a major safety or environmental incident, or unexpected events such as fires (including forest fires), equipment failures and other similar events affecting Suncor or other parties whose operations or assets directly or indirectly affect Suncor; the potential for security breaches of Suncor’s information technology and infrastructure by malicious persons or entities, and the unavailability or failure of such systems to perform as anticipated as a result of such breaches; security threats and terrorist or activist activities; the risk that competing business objectives may exceed Suncor’s capacity to adopt and implement change; risks and uncertainties associated with obtaining regulatory, third-party and stakeholder approvals outside of Suncor’s control for the company’s operations, projects, initiatives and exploration and development activities and the satisfaction of any conditions to approvals; the potential for disruptions to operations and construction projects as a result of Suncor’s relationships with labour unions that represent employees at the company’s facilities; the company’s ability to find new oil and gas reserves that can be developed economically; the accuracy of Suncor’s reserves, resources and future production estimates; market instability affecting Suncor’s ability to borrow in the capital debt markets at acceptable rates or to issue other securities at acceptable prices; the ability to maintain an optimal debt to cash flow ratio; the success of the company’s marketing and logistics activities using derivatives and other financial instruments; the cost of compliance with current and future environmental laws, including climate change laws; risks relating to increased activism and public opposition to fossil fuels and oil sands; the ability of counterparties to comply with their obligations in a timely manner; risks associated with joint arrangements in which the company has an interest; risks associated with land claims and Indigenous consultation requirements; the risk that the company may be subject to litigation; the impact of technology and risks associated with developing and implementing new technologies; and the accuracy of cost estimates, some of which are provided at the conceptual or other preliminary stage of projects and prior to commencement or conception of the detailed engineering that is needed to reduce the margin of error and increase the level of accuracy. The foregoing important factors are not exhaustive.
Many of these risk factors and other assumptions related to Suncor’s forward-looking statements are discussed in further detail throughout this document, and in the company’s 2023 annual MD&A, the 2023 AIF and Form 40-F on file with Canadian securities commissions at www.sedarplus.ca and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. Readers are also referred to the risk factors and assumptions described in other MD&As that Suncor files from time to time with securities regulatory authorities. Copies of these MD&As are available without charge from the company.
The forward-looking statements contained in this document are made as of the date of this document. Except as required by applicable securities laws, we assume no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements or the foregoing risks and assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. REPORTING ENTITY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Suncor Energy 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.
48   2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.
(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.
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system. The amendments are effective January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments 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 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.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the company extended the maturity of its syndicated credit facilities from June 2026 to October 2027 and October 2028.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the company executed a debt tender offer pursuant to which it repaid $1.1 billion CAD equivalent aggregate principal amount of debt above par plus accrued and unpaid interest of $24 million. As a result of the extinguishment, the company incurred charges of $168 million related to accelerated amortization of debt issuance fees. This resulted in a total loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $144 million ($111 million after tax). The general terms of the notes that were extinguished are as follows:

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:

​
​
Cash settlements – paid (received) during the year
​ ​ ​ ​ (12) ​ ​
​ Fair value outstanding at December 31, 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ 82 ​ ​
(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
​
​
54   2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.
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 December 31, 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 following table presents the company’s derivative financial instruments measured at fair value for each hierarchy level as at December 31, 2024:

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 27 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 55 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 82 ​ ​
During the fourth quarter of 2024, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.
Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
At December 31, 2024, the carrying value of fixed-term debt accounted for under amortized cost was $10.3 billion (December 31, 2023 – $11.1 billion) and the fair value was $10.1 billion (December 31, 2023 – $11.1 billion). The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on pricing sourced from market data.
11. ASSET TRANSACTIONS AND VALUATIONS

13. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the actuarial gain on employee retirement benefit plans was $590 million (net of taxes of $186 million), mainly due to strong plan assets performance while discount rates were unchanged at 4.60% (December 31, 2023 – 4.60%).

Operating Summary Information
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Certain financial measures in this Supplemental Financial and Operating Information – namely adjusted operating earnings (loss), adjusted funds from (used in) operations, free funds flow, measures contained in return on capital employed (ROCE) and ROCE excluding impairments and impairment reversals, Oil Sands operations cash operating costs, Fort Hills cash operating costs, Syncrude cash operating costs, refining and marketing gross margin, rack forward gross margin, refining operating expense, rack forward operating expense, net debt, total debt and operating netbacks – are not prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Suncor uses this information to analyze business performance, leverage and liquidity and includes these financial measures because investors may find such measures useful on the same basis. These non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted operating earnings (loss), Oil Sands operations cash operating costs, Fort Hills cash operating costs and Syncrude cash operating costs are defined in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section and reconciled to GAAP measures in the Consolidated Financial Information and Segment Results and Analysis sections of each respective Quarterly Report to Shareholders in respect of the relevant quarter (Quarterly Report). Adjusted funds from (used in) operations, free funds flow and measures contained in ROCE and ROCE excluding impairments and impairment reversals, net debt and total debt are defined and reconciled to GAAP measures in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section of each respective Quarterly Report. Refining and marketing gross margin, rack forward gross margin, refining operating expense and rack forward operating expense are defined in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section and reconciled to GAAP measures in the Quarterly Operating Metrics Reconciliation section of each respective Quarterly Report. Operating netbacks are defined below and are reconciled to GAAP measures in the Quarterly Operating Metrics Reconciliation section of each respective Quarterly Report. The remainder of the non-GAAP financial measures not otherwise mentioned in this paragraph are defined and reconciled in this Quarterly Report.
Oil Sands Operating Netbacks
Oil Sands operating netbacks are a non-GAAP measure, presented on a crude product and sales barrel basis, and are derived from the Oil Sands segmented statement of net earnings (loss), after adjusting for items not directly attributable to the revenues and costs associated with production and delivery. Management uses Oil Sands operating netbacks to measure crude product profitability on a sales barrel basis.
Exploration and Production (E&P) Operating Netbacks
E&P operating netbacks are a non-GAAP measure, presented on an asset location and sales barrel basis, and are derived from the E&P segmented statement of net earnings (loss), after adjusting for items not directly attributable to the revenues and costs associated with production and delivery. Management uses E&P operating netbacks to measure asset profitability by location on a sales barrel basis.
Definitions
(1)
Cash operating costs are calculated by adjusting Oil Sands segment operating, selling and general expense for non-production costs and excess power capacity. Significant non-production costs include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation adjustments, research costs, project startup costs and adjustments to reflect the cost of internal transfers in the receiving asset at the cost of production versus the cost of purchase. Non-production costs at Fort Hills and Syncrude also include, but are not limited to, an adjustment to reflect internally produced diesel from Oil Sands operations at the cost of production. Excess power capacity represents excess power revenue from cogeneration units that is recorded in operating revenues. Oil Sands operations excess power capacity and other also includes, but is not limited to, the natural gas expense recorded as part of a non-monetary arrangement involving a third- party processor. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude production volumes are gross of internally consumed diesel and feedstock transfers between assets. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude cash operating costs are reconciled in the Segment Results and Analysis – Oil Sands section of this MD&A. Management uses cash operating costs to measure operating performance.
​
(2)
Reflects the items not directly attributed to revenues received from the sale of proprietary crude and net non-proprietary activity at its deemed point of sale.
​
(3)
Reflects adjustments for general and administrative costs not directly attributed to the production of each crude product type, as well as the revenues associated with excess power generated from cogeneration units and sold that is recorded in operating revenue.
​
(4)
Reflects other E&P assets, such as Libya, for which netbacks are not provided.
​
(5)
Production from the company’s Libya operations has been presented in this document on an economic basis. Revenue and royalties from the company’s Libya operations are presented under the working-interest basis, which is required for presentation purposes in the company’s financial statements. Under the working-interest basis, revenue includes a gross-up amount with offsetting amounts presented in royalties in the E&P segment and income tax expense reported at the total consolidated level.
​
(6)
Reflects adjustments for general and administrative costs not directly attributed to production.
​
(7)
Reflects adjustments for intersegment marketing fees.
​
(8)
Refining production is the output of the refining process and differs from crude oil processed as a result of volumetric adjustment for non-crude feedstock, volumetric gain associated with the refining process and changes in unfinished product inventories.
​
​
70   2024 Fourth Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.
(9)
Rack forward operating revenues, other income less purchases of crude oil and products.
​
(10)
Rack forward operating expense reflects operating, selling and general expenses associated with retail and wholesale operations.
​
(11)
Reflects operating, selling and general expenses associated with the company’s ethanol businesses and certain general and administrative costs not directly attributable to refinery production.
​
(12)
The custom 5-2-2-1 index is designed to represent Suncor’s Refining and Marketing business based on publicly available pricing data and approximates the gross margin on five barrels of crude oil of varying grades that is refined to produce two barrels of both gasoline and distillate and one barrel of secondary product. The index is a single value that is calculated by taking the product value of refined products less the crude value of refinery feedstock incorporating the company’s refining, product supply and rack forward businesses, but excluding the impact of first-in, first-out accounting. The product value is influenced by New York Harbor 2-1-1 crack, Chicago 2-1-1 crack, WTI benchmarks and seasonal factors. The seasonal factor is an estimate and reflects the location, quality and grade differentials for refined products sold in the company’s core markets during the winter and summer months. The crude value is influenced by SYN, WCS and WTI benchmarks.

Explanatory Notes
*
Users are cautioned that the Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude cash operating costs per barrel measures may not be fully comparable to one another or to similar information calculated by other entities due to the differing operations of each entity as well as other entities’ respective accounting policy choices.
