Notes to the Unaudited Interim CondensedConsolidated Financial Statements |
1. Corporate InformationThe interim condensed consolidated financial statements (consolidated financial statements) of Stantec Inc., its subsidiaries, and its structured entities (the Company) for the three quarters ended September 30, 2021, were authorized for issuance in accordance with a resolution of the Company’s Audit and Risk Committee on November 3, 2021. The Company was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on March 23, 1984. Its shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol STN. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 400, 10220 - 103 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta. The Company is domiciled in Canada. |
The Company is a provider of comprehensive professional services in the area of infrastructure and facilities for clients in the public and private sectors. The Company’s services include engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences, project management, and project economics, from initial project concept and planning through to design, construction administration, commissioning, maintenance, decommissioning, and remediation. |
2. Basis of PreparationThese consolidated financial statements for the three quarters ended September 30, 2021, were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These consolidated financial statements do not include al information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2020, annual consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dol ars, and al values are rounded to the nearest mil ion ($000,000), except where otherwise indicated. |
The accounting policies applied when preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements are consistent with those fol owed when preparing the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as described in note 3. |
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. The significant judgments made by management when applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Company’s December 31, 2020 annual consolidated financial statements, which included considerations for the impacts of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. As there remains a great deal of uncertainty as to the pace of economic recovery from the disruption caused by the pandemic, management wil continue to monitor the impact of the pandemic on its operations and financial position. Actual results could differ from estimates. |
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Changes to Accounting PoliciesIn August 2020, the IASB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16), with an effective date of January 1, 2021. Phase 2 amendments provide relief for "replacement issues" that may arise during the reform, such as changes to contractual cash flows for financial instruments or hedging relationships resulting from the transition to an alternative benchmark rate. This amendment did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company revised its accounting policy to present the consolidated statement of cash flows using the indirect method, a change from the direct method previously applied. The indirect method provides more relevant information on items not affecting cash, a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations to net |

| F-7 | Stantec Inc. |
cash flows from operating activities, and improves comparability. The change in accounting policy was adopted retrospectively, therefore the comparative periods are presented using the indirect method. No adjustments were required for each of the comparative periods presented for cash flows arising from operating, investing, and financing activities. |
Future adoptionsThe standards, amendments, and interpretations issued before 2021 but not yet adopted by the Company have been disclosed in note 6 of the Company’s December 31, 2020 annual consolidated financial statements. In addition, the fol owing amendments were issued during 2021: |
• | In February 2021, the IASB issued Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8). The amendments define accounting estimates and clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. |
• | In February 2021, the IASB issued Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2). The amendments provide guidance to help entities disclose their material (previously "significant") accounting policies. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. |
• | In April 2021, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) issued an agenda decision on the treatment of configuration and customization costs associated with cloud computing arrangements where the underlying software is not recognized as an intangible asset. The decision concluded that these costs may be capitalized as a separate intangible asset if they meet both the definition of an intangible asset and the recognition criteria in IAS 38 Intangible Assets. When these costs do not qualify for separate recognition as an intangible asset and are not distinct from the software, these costs are expensed over the term of the software contract as access is provided. |
• | In May 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12). The amendments narrow the scope of the recognition exemption so that companies would be required to recognize deferred tax for transactions that give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences, such as leases. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted, applied retrospectively. |
The Company is currently considering the impact of adopting these standards, amendments, and interpretations on its consolidated financial statements. |
4. Business Acquisitions |
On March 1, 2021 the Company acquired al the shares and business of Greg Tucker and Associates Pty Ltd. (GTA) for cash consideration and notes payable. GTA is an Australian-based transportation planning and engineering firm with offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. This addition further strengthens the Company's Infrastructure operations in the Global group of cash generating units (CGUs). |
On May 1, 2021, the Company acquired al the shares and business of Clever West Investments Pty Ltd. (Engenium) for cash consideration and notes payable. Engenium is based in Australia and specializes in the delivery of sustainable mining, resources, and industrial infrastructure projects, and has a strong focus on renewable energy and sustainable solutions. This addition further strengthens the Company's commitment to sustainability in its Global group of CGUs and Energy & Resources operations. |
On September 30, 2021, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Paleo Solutions, Inc. (Paleo). Paleo is a ful -service natural resources and cultural resources management consulting firm. Paleo provides paleontological and archaeological services for the rail, transportation, water, and power sectors. Paleo is headquartered in Los |

Angeles, California with offices in Redlands, California and Denver, Colorado. This addition further strengthens the Company's commitment to sustainability in the Environmental Services operations in the United States CGU. |

Deferred tax liabilities | | | (5.3) |
Other | | | (1.9) |
Total identifiable net assets at fair value | | | 28.8 |
Goodwill arising on acquisitions | | | 56.7 |
Trade receivables and other non-cash working capital are recognized at fair value at the time of acquisition, and their fair value approximated their net carrying value. |
The Company measured the acquired lease liabilities using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the date of acquisition as if the acquired leases were new leases at the acquisition date. The lease assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities and adjusted to reflect the favorable/unfavorable terms of the lease relative to market terms. |
Goodwil consists of the value of expected synergies arising from an acquisition, the expertise and reputation of the assembled workforce acquired, and the geographic location of the acquiree. Goodwil and intangible assets of $5.2 are deductible for income tax purposes. |
At September 30, 2021, provisions for claims outstanding relating to al prior acquisitions were $5.2, based on their expected probable outcome. Certain of these claims are indemnified by the acquiree. |
For business combinations that occurred in 2021, gross revenue earned in 2021 since the acquired entities' acquisition dates is approximately $31.8. The Company integrates the operations and systems of acquired entities shortly after the acquisition date; therefore, it is impracticable to disclose the acquiree's earnings in its consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. |

Fair value of net assets for current and prior year acquisitionsThe preliminary fair values of the net assets recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements were based on management's best estimates of the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition dates. Management finalized the fair value assessments of assets and liabilities purchased from Teshmont Consultants LP, Wenck Enterprises Inc., and AGEL adviseurs B.V. and is awaiting the vendor's closing financial statements for GTA, Engenium, and Paleo. Once the outstanding information from the acquisitions is received, reviews are completed, and approvals are obtained, the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities wil be finalized. No significant measurement period adjustments were recorded in the first three quarters of 2021. |

7. Lease AssetsAs part of the Company's strategic initiative in 2020, the real estate lease portfolio was evaluated and resulted in the approval of a formal plan to sublease certain underutilized office spaces. This change in use resulted in the recognition of impairment losses during the year ended December 31, 2020, where the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the recoverable amount, determined based on the value in use method. |
During the first three quarters of 2021, payments made for variable costs on impaired office lease assets reduced the estimated future cash outflows and increased the recoverable amount of the lease assets. This resulted in a $4.3 reversal of the recorded impairments, primarily related to the Canada reportable segment. |

13. Fair Value MeasurementsAl financial instruments carried at fair value are categorized into one of the fol owing: |
• | Level 1 – quoted market prices |
• | Level 2 – valuation techniques (market observable) |
• | Level 3 – valuation techniques (non-market observable) |
When forming estimates, the Company uses the most observable inputs available for valuation purposes. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs of different levels within the hierarchy, the financial instrument is categorized based on the lowest level of significant input. |
When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. |
For financial instruments recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorizations at the end of each reporting period. |
In the first three quarters of 2021, no changes were made to the method of determining fair value and no transfers were made between levels of the hierarchy. |
The fol owing table summarizes the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured and adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021: |
| Carrying |
| Amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| | | | | Notes | $ | $ | $ | $ |

LiabilitiesInterest rate swap |
| | | | | 11,14 | 4.2 | — | 4.2 | | | | | | — |
Investments held for self-insured liabilities consist of government and corporate bonds and equity securities. Fair value of bonds is determined using observable prices of debt with characteristics and maturities that are similar to the bonds being valued. Fair value of equities is determined using the reported net asset value per share of the investment funds. The funds derive their value from the observable quoted prices of the equities owned that are traded in an active market. |
The fol owing table summarizes the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those liabilities that were not measured at fair value but are required to be disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as at September 30, 2021: |

| | | | | F-15 | Stantec Inc. |
The fair value of senior unsecured notes and notes payable is determined by calculating the present value of future payments using observable benchmark interest rates and credit spreads for debt with similar characteristics and maturities. |
14. Financial Instrumentsa) Derivative financial instrumentsThe Company has an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the interest rate variability on Tranche C of the term loan with a notional amount of $160.0. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap, estimated using market rates at September 30, 2021, is an unrealized gain of $2.7 ($2.1 net of tax) (September 30, 2020 – unrealized loss of $6.1 ($4.6 net of tax)). The unrealized gains and losses relating to the swap are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and in the statement of financial position as other assets or other liabilities. |
As at September 30, 2021, the Company has foreign currency forward contracts to purchase US$117.5 for CA$149.8 equivalent on the trade date. These were entered to mitigate the risk of foreign currency fluctuations. The fair value of these contracts, estimated using market rates as at September 30, 2021, is an unrealized loss of $1.4 and was recorded in foreign exchange loss (gain) and in the consolidated statement of financial position within trade and other payables. |
b) Nature and extent of risks The COVID-19 pandemic, as described in note 2, has general y increased the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments that the Company is exposed to. Management is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s risk exposure and wil adjust its risk management approach as necessary. |
Credit riskAssets that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and deposits, trade and other receivables, unbil ed receivables, contract assets, investments held for self-insured liabilities, holdbacks on long-term contracts, and other financial assets. The Company’s maximum amount of credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying amount of these assets, which at September 30, 2021, was $1,696.0 (December 31, 2020 – $1,649.6). |
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents in high-quality credit institutions. Investments held for self-insured liabilities include corporate bonds and equity securities. The Company believes the risk associated with corporate bonds and equity securities is mitigated by the overal quality and mix of the Company’s investment portfolio. Substantial y al bonds held by the Company are investment grade, and none are past due. The Company monitors changes in credit risk by tracking published external credit ratings. |
The Company mitigates the risk associated with trade and other receivables, unbil ed receivables, contract assets, and holdbacks on long-term contracts by providing services to diverse clients in various industries and sectors of the economy. In addition, management reviews trade and other receivables past due on an ongoing basis to identify matters that could potential y delay the col ection of funds at an early stage. The Company does not concentrate its credit risk in any particular client, industry, or economic or geographic sector. |
The Company monitors trade receivables to an internal target of days of revenue in trade receivables. At September 30, 2021, the days of revenue in trade receivables was 58 days (December 31, 2020 – 58 days). |
Price riskThe Company’s investments held for self-insured liabilities are exposed to price risk arising from changes in the market values of the equity securities. This risk is mitigated because the portfolio of equity funds is monitored regularly and appropriately diversified. |
Liquidity riskThe Company meets its liquidity needs through various sources, including cash generated from operations, issuing senior unsecured notes, long-term and short-term borrowings from its $800.0 revolving credit facility, term loans, and |
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsIn mil ions of Canadian dol ars except number of shares and per share dataSeptember 30, 2021 |
| F-16 | Stantec Inc. |
the issuance of common shares. The unused capacity of the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2021, was $779.8 (December 31, 2020 – $786.5). The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to meet obligations associated with its financial liabilities. |
Foreign exchange riskForeign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument wil fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains or losses in net income arise on the translation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities (such as trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, and long-term debt) held in the Company's Canadian operations and foreign subsidiaries. The Company manages its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations on these items by matching foreign currency assets with foreign currency liabilities and through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. |
Foreign exchange fluctuations may also arise on the translation of the Company's US-based subsidiaries or other foreign subsidiaries, where the functional currency is different from the Canadian dol ar, and are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). During the first three quarters of 2021, the Company recorded exchange losses on translation of foreign operations of $34.5 through other comprehensive income (loss), of which $23.2 related to goodwil . The Company does not hedge for this foreign exchange risk. |
