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 have been prepared in accordance with International FinancialReporting Standards, specifically International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the InternationalAccounting Standards Board. They are condensed as they do not include all of the information required for full annual financialstatements, and they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the company for the year endedDecember 31, 2020. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the company has revised the presentation of its expenses from“transportation” to “transportation and distribution” and reclassified certain operating, selling and general expenses totransportation and distribution to better reflect the nature of these expenses. There is no impact on net earnings (loss) andcomparative periods have been restated to reflect this change. |
(b) Basis of Measurement |
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except as detailed in the accounting policiesdisclosed in the company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. |
(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 andjudgment used in the preparation of the financial statements are described in the company’s consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended December 31, 2020. |
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a Public Health Emergency of InternationalConcern and, on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread ofCOVID-19 include restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places andbusinesses. These measures have and may continue to have significant disruption to business operations and a significant increasein economic uncertainty, with reduced demand for commodities leading to volatile prices and currency exchange rates, and adecline in long-term interest rates. Our operations and business are particularly sensitive to a reduction in the demand for, andprices of, commodities that are closely linked to Suncor’s financial performance, including crude oil, refined petroleum products(such as jet fuel and gasoline), natural gas and electricity. The potential direct and indirect impacts of the economic downturnhave been considered in management’s estimates, and assumptions at period end have been reflected in our results with anysignificant changes described in the relevant notes to the company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for thethree months and nine months ended September 30, 2021. |
The COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation that will continue to have widespread implications for our business environment,operations and financial condition. Management cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or theextent to which the disruption may materially impact our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), consolidatedbalance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows in fiscal 2021. |
(e) Income Taxes |
The company recognizes the impacts of income tax rate changes in earnings in the period that the applicable rate change isenacted or substantively enacted. |

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 tofluctuations in interest rates, short-term commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates, as part of its overall riskmanagement program, as well as for trading purposes. |
58 | 2021 Third Quarter | | | | | | | | Suncor Energy Inc. |
The changes in the fair value of non-designated derivatives are as follows: |
($ millions) | Total |
Fair value outstanding at December 31, 2020 | (121) |
Cash settlements – paid during the year | 208 |
Changes in fair value recognized in earnings during the year | (144) |
Fair value outstanding at September 30, 2021 | (57) |
(b) Fair Value Hierarchy |
To estimate the fair value of derivatives, the company uses quoted market prices when available, or third-party models andvaluation methodologies that utilize observable market data. In addition to market information, the company incorporatestransaction-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 orsettled in a current market transaction. The company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy thatprioritizes 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 identicalassets or liabilities. An active market is characterized by readily and regularly available quoted prices where the prices arerepresentative 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 withobservable inputs or prices with insignificant non-observable inputs. The fair value of these positions is determined usingobservable inputs from exchanges, pricing services, third-party independent broker quotes and published transportationtolls. The observable inputs may be adjusted using certain methods, which include extrapolation over the quoted price termand 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 atSeptember 30, 2021, 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 valuemeasurement reflects inputs of different levels within the hierarchy, the measurement is categorized based upon the lowestlevel 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 atSeptember 30, 2021: |
($ millions) | | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total Fair Value |
Accounts receivable | | 75 | 82 | — | 157 |
Accounts payable | | (188) | (26) | — | (214) |
| | (113) | 56 | — | (57) |
During the third quarter of 2021, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. |
A substantial portion of the company’s accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and gas industry and are subject tonormal industry credit risk. While the industry has experienced credit downgrades due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Suncor hasnot been significantly affected as the majority of Suncor’s customers are large and established downstream companies withinvestment grade credit ratings. |
Non-Derivative Financial Instruments |
At September 30, 2021, the carrying value of fixed-term debt accounted for under amortized cost was $14.6 billion (December 31,2020 – $15.2 billion) and the fair value was $17.8 billion (December 31, 2020 – $18.8 billion). The estimated fair value of long-termdebt is based on pricing sourced from market data. |
11. Asset Impairment |
Oil Sands |
During the first quarter of 2020, the company recorded an impairment of $1.38 billion (net of taxes of $0.44 billion) on its shareof the Fort Hills assets in the Oil Sands segment. |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
No indicators of impairment or reversals of impairment were identified at September 30, 2021. |
Exploration and ProductionWhite Rose assets: |
During the first quarter of 2020, the company recorded an impairment of $137 million (net of taxes of $45 million) on its shareof the White Rose assets in the Exploration and Production segment. |
In the fourth quarter of 2020, the company reassessed the likelihood of completing the West White Rose Project. As a result ofthis reassessment, the company performed another impairment test of the White Rose cash-generating unit (CGU). An after-taximpairment charge of $423 million (net of taxes of $136 million) was recognized and the White Rose CGU was fully impaired atDecember 31, 2020. |
No indicators of impairment reversal were identified at September 30, 2021. |
Terra Nova assets: |
During the third quarter of 2021, the company finalized an agreement with the co-owners of the Terra Nova project to restructurethe project ownership and move forward with the Asset Life Extension project. The agreement increased the company’s workinginterest to approximately 48% (previously approximately 38%) and includes royalty and financial support from the Governmentof Newfoundland and Labrador. The company received $26 million (net of taxes of $8 million) in cash consideration to acquire theadditional 10% working interest, which was primarily allocated to the asset retirement obligation and property, plant andequipment of the project. As a result of these events, during the third quarter of 2021, the company performed an impairmentreversal test on the Terra Nova cash generating unit (CGU) as the recoverable amount of this CGU was sensitive to the financialsupport from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and revised royalty structure resulting in increased profitabilityand economic value. The impairment reversal test was performed using recoverable amounts based on the fair value less cost ofdisposal. An expected cash flow approach was used with the key assumptions discussed below (Level 3 fair value inputs – note 10). |
As a result of the impairment reversal test, the recoverable amounts were determined to be greater than the carrying valuesof the Terra Nova CGU and the company recorded an impairment reversal of $168 million (net of taxes of $53 million) on its shareof the Terra Nova assets in the Exploration and Production segment. In addition to the financial support from the government,the recoverable amount was determined based on the following asset-specific assumptions: |
• | Brent price forecast of US$65.00/bbl in 2023 and US$68.00/bbl in 2024, escalating at 2% per year thereafter over the life ofthe project to 2033 and adjusted for asset-specific location and quality differentials; |
• | the anticipated return to operations before the end of 2022 and the company’s share of production of approximately6,000 bbls/d (37.68% working interest) over the life of the project; and |
• | risk-adjusted discount rate of 9.0% (after-tax). |
The recoverable amount of the Terra Nova CGU was $177 million as at September 30, 2021. |
During the first quarter of 2020, the company recorded an impairment of $285 million (net of taxes of $93 million) on its shareof the Terra Nova assets in the Exploration and Production segment. |
No other indicators of impairment or reversals of impairment were identified at September 30, 2021. |
12. Provisions |
Suncor’s decommissioning and restoration provision decreased by $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate to 3.70% (December 31, 2020 – 3.10%). |
13. Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the actuarial gain on employee retirement benefit plans was $810 million (netof taxes of $255 million) mainly due to an increase in the discount rate to 3.30% (December 31, 2020 – 2.50%). |
14. Assets Held for Sale |
Subsequent to the third quarter of 2021, the company completed the sale of its 26.69% working interest in the Golden EagleArea Development for after-tax proceeds of US$250 million net of closing adjustments and other closing costs, and futurecontingent consideration of up to US$50 million, resulting in an estimated after-tax gain on sale of approximately $235 million. |
60 | 2021 Third Quarter | Suncor Energy Inc. |
