Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
1. Corporate InformationThe interim condensed consolidated financial statements (consolidated financial statements) of Stantec Inc., itssubsidiaries, and its structured entities (the Company) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, were authorized forissuance in accordance with a resolution of the Company’s Audit and Risk Committee on May 6, 2020. The Companywas incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on March 23, 1984. Its shares are traded on theToronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol STN. The Company’sregistered office is located at Suite 400, 10220 - 103 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta. The Company is domiciledin Canada. |
The Company is a provider of comprehensive professional services in the area of infrastructure and facilities forclients 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 initialproject concept and planning through to design, construction administration, commissioning, maintenance,decommissioning, and remediation. |
2. Basis of PreparationThese consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, were prepared in accordance withInternational Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These consolidated financial statements donot include all information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should beread in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2019, annual consolidated financial statements. |
The accounting policies applied when preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements are consistent withthose followed when preparing the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. |
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, andassumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue,and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgments made by management whenapplying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as thosethat applied to the Company’s December 31, 2019, annual consolidated financial statements, except for the changein use of lease assets, which included estimating discount rates and cash receipts from subleases to determine thenet lease impairment loss as described in note 7, as noted below. |
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 had, and will continue to have, adverse financialimpacts on the global economy, including but not limited to, negative impacts on demand for goods and services,disruptions to supply-chains, volatility in interest rates, and significant declines in market prices of equities andcertain commodities. There is significant uncertainty regarding the length of time it will take for these financial impactsto reverse. As the magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic is continuously evolving, it is impracticable to determine theeffect that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on management’s judgments, estimates, and assumptions. |
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, and all values are rounded to the nearest million ($000,000), except where otherwise indicated. |
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Changes to Accounting PoliciesCertain amendments disclosed in note 6 of the Company's December 31, 2019, annual consolidated financialstatements had an effective date of January 1, 2020, but did not have an impact on the Company's consolidatedfinancial statements or accounting policies during the first quarter of 2020. This included Interest Rate BenchmarkReform (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, and IFRS 7) which provided temporary relief during the period ofuncertainty for companies that have hedging relationships that are directly affected by the reform. The Company'scash flow hedge is not affected by the reform because the hedged cash flows are based on an interbank offered ratethat will continue to be published after the reform. |

11. Employee Defined Benefit ObligationsThe calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed at least annually by a qualified actuary, or more often asrequired due to plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements, or in the event that fluctuations in the marketsignificantly impact the assumptions used in the most recent actuarial valuation. |
The COVID-19 pandemic, as described in note 2, affected the markets significantly and impacted certainassumptions used in the measurement of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) and the fair value of plan assets asof March 31, 2020 compared to those utilized at December 31, 2019. As such, the Company remeasured the DBOand the fair value of plan assets at March 31, 2020. The remeasurement resulted in an increase in the discount ratefrom 1.89% at December 31, 2019, to 2.20% at March 31, 2020. The impact of the increase to the discount rateresulted in a decrease in the DBO, partly offset by a decrease in the fair value of plan assets for a remeasurementgain of $7.2 (net of deferred tax liability of $1.4), recorded through other comprehensive income. |

In addition, the Company has an Automatic Share Purchase Plan (ASPP) with a broker that allows thepurchase of common shares for cancellation under the NCIB at any time during predetermined trading blackoutperiods. Such purchases are determined by the broker in its sole discretion based on parameters established by theCompany under the ASPP. As at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no liability was recorded in the Company'sconsolidated statements of financial position in connection with the ASPP. |

14. Fair Value MeasurementsAll financial instruments carried at fair value are categorized into one of the following: |
| 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 fairvalue measurement reflects inputs of different levels within the hierarchy, the financial instrument is categorizedbased on the lowest level of significant input. |

| | |
March 31, 2020 | | | | | | | | | | F-12 | Stantec Inc. |
When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it wouldtransact and the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Companymeasures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. |
During the first quarter of 2020, no change was made to the method of determining fair value and no transfers weremade between levels of the hierarchy. |
The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured andadjusted to fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2020: |
| CarryingAmount |
| | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| | | | | Notes | $ | $ | $ | $ |

LiabilitiesInterest rate swap |
| | | | | 12,15 | 7.8 | | | | | | - | 7.8 | | | | | | - |
Investments held for self-insured liabilities consist of government and corporate bonds and equity securities. Fairvalue of bonds is determined using observable prices of debt with characteristics and maturities that are similar to thebonds being valued. Fair value of equities is determined using the reported net asset value per share of theinvestment funds. The funds derive their value from the observable quoted prices of the equities owned that aretraded in an active market. |
The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those liabilities that were not measured at fairvalue but are required to be disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as at March 31, 2020: |
| CarryingAmount |
| | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| | | | | Note | $ | $ | $ | $ |
Notes payable | | | | | 9 | 69.9 | | | | | | - | 71.0 | | | | | | - |
The fair value of notes payable is determined by calculating the present value of future payments using observablebenchmark interest rates and credit spreads for debt with similar characteristics and maturities. |
15. Financial Instrumentsa) Derivative financial instrumentsThe Company has an interest rate swap agreement to manage the interest rate risk related to a tranche of the term loan with a notional amount of $160.0, both maturing on June 27, 2023. The swap agreement has the effect ofconverting the variable interest rate on the term loan, based on a bankers' acceptance rate, into a fixed interest rateof 2.295%, plus applicable basis points spread. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap, estimated usingmarket rates at March 31, 2020, is an unrealized loss of $6.3 ($4.7 net of tax) (March 31, 2019 – unrealized loss of$0.7 ($0.5, net of tax)). The Company has designated the swap as a cash flow hedge against a tranche of the termloan; therefore, 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. |
b) Nature and extent of risksThe COVID-19 pandemic, as described in note 2, has generally increased the nature and extent of risks arising fromfinancial instruments that the Company is exposed to. Management expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will mostsignificantly impact credit risk, liquidity risk, and price risk. The extent to which these risks will be impacted is beingclosely monitored and is expected to change as the situation continues to develop. Management will continue toevaluate the Company’s risk exposure and will adjust its risk management approach as necessary. |

Credit risk Assets that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and deposits, trade and other receivables,unbilled 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 amountof these assets, which at March 31, 2020, was $1,719.1 (December 31, 2019 – $1,682.4). |
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents in high-quality creditinstitutions. Investments held for self-insured liabilities include corporate bonds and equity securities. The Companybelieves the risk associated with corporate bonds and equity securities is mitigated by the overall quality and mix ofthe Company’s investment portfolio. The Company mitigates the risk associated with trade and other receivables,unbilled receivables, contract assets, and holdbacks on long-term contracts by providing services to diverse clientsin various industries and sectors of the economy. |
The Company does not concentrate its credit risk in any particular client, industry, or economic or geographic sector.In addition, management reviews trade and other receivables past due on an ongoing basis to identify matters thatcould potentially delay the collection of funds at an early stage. |
The Company monitors trade receivables to an internal target of days of revenue in trade receivables. At March31, 2020, the days of revenue in trade receivables was 60 days (December 31, 2019 – 61 days). Bonds held bythe Company are investment grade, and none are past due. The Company monitors changes in credit risk bytracking published external credit ratings. |
Price riskThe Company’s investments held for self-insured liabilities are exposed to price risk arising from changes in themarket values of the equity securities. |
Liquidity risk |
The Company meets its liquidity needs through various sources, including cash generated from operations, long- and short-term borrowings from its $800.0 revolving credit facility, term loans, and the issuance of common shares.The unused capacity of the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2020, was $250.7 (December 31, 2019 – $282.6).The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to meet obligations associated with its financial liabilities. |
Foreign exchange risk |
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains or losses in net income arise on thetranslation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities (such as trade and other receivables, trade andother payables, and long-term debt) held in the Company’s Canadian operations and foreign subsidiaries. TheCompany 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 otherforeign subsidiaries, where the functional currency is different from the Canadian dollar, and are recorded in othercomprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded exchange gains on translation of foreign operations of $109.6through other comprehensive income (loss), of which $73.3 related to goodwill and $6.0 related to intangible assets.The Company does not hedge for this foreign exchange risk. |
