To our shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors 
and management of Andlauer Healthcare 
Group Inc. (“AHG”) and our team of over 
1,400 employees and owner operators 
across Canada, I am pleased to present 
AHG’s 2019 Annual Report, our first as a 
publicly traded company. 

Michael Andlauer
Chief Executive Officer

Our initial public offering (“IPO”) on the Toronto Stock Exchange 
was successfully completed on December 11, 2019. The IPO 
comprised  the  issuance  of  11.5  million  Subordinate  Voting 
Shares (“SVS”) at a price of $15.00 per share, which included 
the  subsequent  exercise  of  an  over-allotment  option, 
resulting in total gross proceeds of $172.5 million. Today, AHG 
has  a  total  of  12.5  million  SVS  issued  and  outstanding,  in 
addition to 25.1 million multiple voting shares that are held by 
Andlauer  Management  Group,  providing  strong  alignment 
with holders of SVS.

33  facilities  from  coast  to  coast.  None  of  our  competitors 
can  match  this  national  network.  We  provide,  directly  or 
indirectly, specialized transportation in Canada for 22 of the 
top  25  global  pharmaceutical  manufacturers  and  manage 
the finished goods distribution of approximately $7 billion in 
pharmaceutical product sales. We continue to demonstrate 
strong client retention with an average client relationship of 
more than 15 years across our top 20 clients, a testament 
to the professionalism and strong employee culture that we 
have fostered.

AHG’s  2019  financial  results  demonstrate  our  continued 
success in generating growth by leveraging our unique set 
of  competitive  strengths  and  national  platform  to  provide 
specialized supply-chain solutions to the growing healthcare 
industry in Canada. Year-over-year revenue increased 4.7% 
to  $290.0  million  and  operating  income  of  $45.0  million 
was 10.1% above the 2018 level. Net income increased 7.7% 
to  $30.3  million  and  2019  EBITDA  was  $70.6  million,  9.6% 
ahead of the previous year. We generate strong and stable 
EBITDA margins, and were able to increase EBITDA margin 
to 24.3% in 2019 from 23.2% in 2018.

These  results  are  consistent  with  our  recent  history.  By 
offering  a  diversified  platform  of  healthcare  transportation 
and  logistics  offerings,  we  have  successfully  grown  our 
revenue at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 
10% since 2010 and are today very well established in Canada 
with over 1.8 million square feet of healthcare space across 

Our  success  is  built  on  a  platform  of  supply  chain 
companies that deliver discrete service offerings, operating 
in  the  highly  regulated  and  stringent  healthcare  industry. 
This  platform  of  services  ranges  from  specialized  logistics 
and  distribution,  packaging  solutions,  air  freight  forwarding, 
ground transportation, and dedicated and last mile delivery. 
While  our  customers  are  primarily  in  the  pharmaceutical 
manufacturing  business,  they  also  include  producers  of 
nutraceuticals, medical devices, and consumer and animal 
health products. 

We  are  differentiated  in  a  highly  fragmented  market  by 
four  established  competitive  strengths  that  span  all  the 
services we provide. First, end-to-end validated temperature 
management. Our distribution facilities are GMP licensed and 
temperature mapped. We have over 1,200 individuals trained 
and  educated  in  the  movement  of  healthcare  products. 
Second,  regulatory  compliance  and  quality  assurance. 

As  I  write  this  letter,  the  global  community  is  battling 
the  COVID-19  outbreak.  As  a  supplier  to  the  healthcare 
sector,  AHG  is  part  of  the  solution  and  our  great  team 
is  doing  everything  we  can  to  support  the  healthcare 
needs of people across Canada. AHG truly is a vital link in 
Canadian healthcare. 

In closing, I would like to recognize the contributions of AHG’s 
associates, management, and directors in our early days as 
a publicly traded company. We also wish to thank you, our 
shareholders,  for  your  confidence  and  support.  We  look 
forward to regularly updating you on AHG’s progress as we 
continue to advance our growth strategy and build value for 
all stakeholders. 

Yours in health,

Michael Andlauer
Chief Executive Officer

Letter to Shareholders (continued)

Many  of  our  clients’  products  are  highly  regulated  and 
they  require  us  to  meet  those  regulations  as  well.  Third, 
technology-enabled  visibility  and  temperature  monitoring 
capability throughout the supply chain. And fourth, security. 
Given the value and importance of these products, security 
is  of  upmost  importance  to  our  clients.  As  an  example, 
we  maintain  Health  Canada  compliant  vaults  for  the 
management of narcotics and controlled drugs.   

Looking ahead, we are well positioned in a very attractive 
market. Spending on healthcare logistics and transportation 
has been outpacing GDP growth in Canada and this growth 
is  forecast  to  continue,  driven  by  demographic  trends. 
Further,  there  is  an  increasing  number  of  healthcare  and 
adjacent  products  with  unique  logistical  needs,  including 
biological pharmaceuticals, narcotics, medical devices and 
vaccines. Ever-increasing industry regulation also increases 
our  clients’  requirements  for  specialized  supply-chain 
solutions and represents a significant barrier to new industry 
participants. And, demand for distributed ancillary services 
is  increasing  as  healthcare  companies  focus  more  and 
more on their core competencies like R&D and marketing.

Our  successful  initial  public  offering  at  2019  year-end  has 
positioned us well to advance our three-part growth strategy 
that  will  further  enhance  our  market-leading  position.  We 
intend to strengthen our clients’ connection to our platform 
by broadening our service offering, increase our capacity to 
attract both new clients and new business, and expand our 
platform  through  acquisitions.  We  are  confident  that  AHG 
will continue to produce growth and stability, while providing 
a reliable dividend to shareholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
All  references  in  this  MD&A  to  the  “Company”,  “AHG”,  “us”,  “our”  or  “we”  refer  to  Andlauer 
Healthcare Group Inc., together with our direct and indirect subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, which 
is referred to as “the Group” in the Company’s financial statements.  Additionally, all references to “Q4 
2019”  are  to  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2019;  “Q4  2018”  are  to  the  three  months  ended 
December 31, 2018; “Fiscal 2019” are to our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019; “Fiscal 2018” are to 
our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018; and “Fiscal 2017” are to our fiscal year ended December 31, 
2017.  

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) for 
the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 
audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, along with 
the related notes thereto. This MD&A is presented as of March 12, 2020 and is current to that date unless 
otherwise stated.  

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information 

This  MD&A  contains  forward-looking  information  and  forward-looking  statements  (collectively, 
“forward-looking  information”)  within  the  meaning  of  applicable  securities  laws.  Forward-looking 
information may relate to our future financial outlook and anticipated events or results and may include 
information regarding our financial position, business strategy, growth strategies, addressable markets, 
budgets,  operations,  financial  results,  taxes,  dividend  policy,  plans  and  objectives.  Particularly, 
information regarding our expectations of future results, performance, achievements, facility expansions, 
leases, platform expansions, acquisitions, public company costs, payment of dividends, prospects, financial 
targets  or  outlook,  intentions,  opportunities  or  the  markets  in  which  we  operate  is  forward-looking 
information. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking 
terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects”  or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “an opportunity 
exists”,  “budget”,  “scheduled”,  “estimates”,  “outlook”,  “forecasts”,  “  projection”,  “prospects”, 
“strategy”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “does not anticipate”, “believes”, “commencing” or variations of 
such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, 
“might”,  “will”, “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” . In addition, any statements that refer to 
expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain 
forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts 
but  instead  represent  management’s  expectations,  estimates  and  projections  regarding  future  events  or 
circumstances. 

Such  forward-looking  statements  are  qualified  in  their  entirety  by  the  inherent  risks,  uncertainties  and 
changes in circumstances surrounding future expectations which are difficult to predict and many of which 
are beyond the control of the Company. 

This  forward-looking  information  and  other  forward-looking  information  are  based  on  our  opinions, 
estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions 
and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe are appropriate and 
reasonable  in  the  circumstances.  Despite  a  careful  process  to  prepare  and  review  the  forward-looking 
information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove 
to be correct.  

Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of opinions, estimates and assumptions 
that, while considered by the Company to be appropriate and reasonable as of the date of this MD&A, are 
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual 

  
- 2 - 

results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or 
implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to: 

 
 
 

the Company’s ability to execute its growth strategies; 
the impact of changing conditions in the healthcare logistics and transportation services market; 
increasing competition in the healthcare logistics and transportation services market in which the 
Company operates; 
volatility in financial markets; 
changes in the attitudes, financial condition and demand of the Company’s target market; 

 
 
  developments and changes in applicable laws and regulations; 
 
the Company’s ability to source and complete acquisitions;  
 
the Company’s ability to retain existing clients and develop new clientele; 
 
the Company’s ability to retain members of our management team and key personnel; 
 
increases in driver compensation and the ability to attract and retain employees;  
 
the Company’s ability to expand into additional markets; and 
 
such  other  factors discussed  in  greater  detail  under “Risk  Factors” in this MD&A  and  in  the 
Company’s annual information form dated March 12, 2020 for Fiscal 2019 (our “AIF”) which is 
available on the Company’s profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval 
(“SEDAR”) at www.sedar.com. 

If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying 
the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from 
those anticipated in the forward-looking information. The opinions, estimates or assumptions referred to 
above and described in greater detail in “Risk Factors” should be considered carefully by prospective 
investors. 

Although  we  have  attempted  to  identify  important  risk  factors  that  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ 
materially  from  those  contained  in  forward-looking  information,  there  may  be  other  risk  factors  not 
presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or 
future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be 
no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could 
differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, investors should not place undue 
reliance  on  forward-looking  information,  which  speaks  only  as  of  the  date  made.  The  forward-looking 
information contained in this MD&A represents our expectations as of the date of this MD&A (or as of the 
date they are otherwise stated to be made), and are subject to change after such date. However, we disclaim 
any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as 
a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities laws. 

All of the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A is expressly qualified by the foregoing 
cautionary statements. 

Basis of Presentation 

Our  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and 
are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.  

As  described  in  additional  detail  in  the  audited  financial  statements  of  the  Company,  our  financial 
statements are presented as consolidated financial statements. AHG’s acquisition of the AHG Entities (as 
defined  below)  in  connection  with  the  Company’s  initial  public  offering  (“IPO”)  was  a  business 

  
- 3 - 

combination involving entities under common control in which all of the combining entities are ultimately 
controlled by Andlauer Management Group Inc. (“AMG”). This method results in our financial statements 
being restated for periods prior to the date of obtaining common control, to reflect the combination as if it 
had occurred from the beginning of the period that the entities were under common control, regardless of 
the actual date the common control transaction closed.   

Non-IFRS Measures 

This MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures 
under  IFRS,  do  not  have  a  standardized  meaning  prescribed  by  IFRS  and  are  therefore  unlikely  to  be 
comparable  to  similar  measures  presented  by  other  companies.  Rather,  these  measures  are  provided  as 
additional  information  to  complement  those  IFRS  measures  by  providing  further  understanding  of  our 
results  of  operations  from  management’s  perspective.  Accordingly,  these  measures  should  not  be 
considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. 
We  use  non-IFRS  measures  including  “EBITDA”,  “EBITDA  Margin”,  “EBITDA  less  Leases  and 
CAPEX”,  “EBITDA  less  Leases  and  CAPEX  Conversion”  and  “EBITDA  less  Leases  and  CAPEX 
Margin”.  These  non-IFRS  measures  are  used  to  provide  investors  with  supplemental  measures  of  our 
operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent 
when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and 
other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management 
also  uses  non-IFRS  measures  in  order  to  facilitate  operating  performance  comparisons  from  period  to 
period, to prepare annual operating budgets and to determine components of management compensation.  

For a description of how we define these non-IFRS Measures and an explanation of why the non-IFRS 
measures provide  useful information  to investors,  please see  “How We  Assess the  Performance  of  Our 
Business – Non-IFRS Measures” below.  

For quantitative reconciliations of net income and comprehensive income to EBITDA and EBITDA less 
Leases and CAPEX for Q4 2019, Q4 2018, Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018, please see “Reconciliation of Non-
IFRS Measures” below. 

Overview  

AHG was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on November 12, 2019 with its head 
office located at 100 Vaughan Valley Blvd, Woodbridge, ON L4H 3C5. The Company’s subordinate voting 
shares (“Subordinate Voting  Shares”)  are listed  on  the Toronto  Stock  Exchange  (the  “TSX”)  under  the 
stock symbol “AND”. 

Initial Public Offering 

On December 11, 2019, we successfully completed an IPO of 10,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares at a 
price of $15.00 per share for gross proceeds of $150,000,000. The underwriters in the IPO were granted an 
over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Subordinate 
Voting Shares at a price of $15.00 per Subordinate Voting Share, which was fully exercised on December 
16, 2019, and raised additional gross proceeds of $22,500,000.  

In  connection  with  the  IPO,  we  completed  a  series  of  reorganization  transactions  (the  “Pre-IPO 
Reorganization”), including the settlement of certain outstanding related party balances, the creation of a 
new Ontario corporation, 2721275 Ontario Limited, and the settlement of the AHG Employee Benefit Plan 
Trust (the “Employee Trust”), for the benefit of certain executive officers and employees of the Company 

  
- 4 - 

and the AHG Entities. In addition, on December 11, 2019, we completed the acquisition of a number of 
entities including Associated Logistics Solutions Inc., Credo Systems Canada Inc., 2186940 Ontario Inc. 
and  their  respective  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the  “AHG  Entities”)  from  AMG  in  consideration  for  the 
issuance of 25,175,000 multiple voting shares (“Multiple Voting Shares”, and together with the Subordinate 
Voting  Shares,  the  “Shares”),  and  two  non-interest  bearing  promissory  notes  in the  aggregate  principal 
amount of $200,000,000. See “Related Party Transactions.” 

In connection with closing of the IPO, we also entered into credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”) with 
Royal Bank of Canada and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, comprised of a revolving facility in the 
aggregate principal amount of up to $75 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a term facility in the 
aggregate  principal  amount  of  up  to  $25  million  (the  “Term  Facility”).  See  “Liquidity  and  Capital 
Resources – Credit Facilities”. 

Our Business 

We are a leading and growing supply chain management company with a platform of customized third- 
party logistics (“3PL”) and specialized transportation solutions for the healthcare sector. We offer services 
to  healthcare  manufacturers,  wholesalers,  distributors  and  3PL  providers,  among  others,  through  a 
comprehensive platform of high quality, technology-enabled supply chain solutions for a range of products, 
including  pharmaceuticals,  biologics,  narcotics,  precursors,  active  pharmaceutical  ingredients,  over-the-
counter,  natural  health,  animal  health,  consumer  health,  cosmetics,  health  and  beauty  aids,  and  medical 
devices.  We  integrate  our  uniquely  designed  nation-wide  network  of  facilities,  vehicles,  personnel  and 
technology  systems  into  our  clients’  businesses  to  offer  holistic  solutions  that  span  all  of  our  clients’ 
shipping  needs  and  satisfy  the  requirements  of  the  highly  regulated  Canadian  healthcare  industry.  We 
differentiate  our  service  offerings  and  deliver  value  to  our  clients  through  our  competitive  strengths  in 
temperature  management,  quality  assurance  and  regulatory  compliance,  technology-enabled  visibility 
throughout  the  supply  chain  and  security.    We  are  committed  to  developing  and  expanding  long-term 
strategic relationships with our clients to provide improved operational efficiencies and access to value-
added services. Within our healthcare logistics and specialized transportation operating segments, we offer 
robust solutions specifically tailored to the healthcare market and generate revenue across five principal 
product lines: logistics and distribution, packaging solutions, air freight forwarding, ground transportation, 
and dedicated and last mile delivery. 

Management believes we are Canada’s only national third-party service provider focused exclusively on 
delivering customized, end-to-end logistics and specialized transportation solutions to the healthcare sector. 
Our 3PL services are provided under our Accuristix brand, through which we provide customized logistics, 
distribution and packaging solutions to various healthcare manufacturers. Our specialized transportation 
solutions are offered under our ATS Healthcare brand, where we provide a one-stop shop for our clients’ 
healthcare  transportation  needs  through  our  specialized  air  freight  forwarding,  ground  transportation, 
dedicated delivery and last mile services. We believe we are a national leader in the Canadian healthcare 
logistics and specialized transportation markets we serve. 

In our healthcare logistics segment, we serve as an extension of our manufacturing clients, leveraging our 
infrastructure  and  expertise  to  manage  their  supply  chain  activities,  allowing  them  to  focus  on  other 
strategic priorities such as sales, marketing, research and development. We focus on serving our logistics 
clients as comprehensively as possible and incorporate multiple services from all of our related product 
lines into our customized logistics solutions.  

In our specialized transportation segment, we leverage our national infrastructure to offer coast-to-coast 
delivery,  including  specialized  facilities,  multiple  modes  of  transportation  and  flexible  capacity  to 

  
- 5 - 

accommodate  the  full  range  of  our  clients’  logistics  and/or  transportation  needs  on  an  integrated  and 
efficient basis. By combining multiple service offerings, we can effectively provide managed and monitored 
movement of our clients’ temperature sensitive and valuable products through a closed-loop nation-wide 
system. 

We  differentiate  our  services  and  deliver  value  to  our  clients  through  four  competitive  strengths: 
temperature management, quality assurance and regulatory compliance, visibility throughout the supply 
chain  and  security.  These  capabilities  are  deployed  across  our  nation-wide  network  of  28  secure, 
temperature-controlled facilities and the five third-party owned cross-docks that we operate from, by our 
team of highly-trained employees who are passionate about client service. Our security, information and 
monitoring systems, as well as our temperature management expertise, allow us to meet and exceed Health 
Canada guidelines and regulations, ensuring the integrity and quality of our clients’ temperature sensitive 
healthcare goods and data. 

Additional information about the Company can be found on our profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or 
on  our  website  at  www.andlauerheathcare.com.  Our  AIF  is  available  on  our  profile  on  SEDAR  at 
www.sedar.com. 

Summary of Factors Affecting Performance 

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant 
opportunities for us. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and challenges, some of 
which are discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this MD&A and in our AIF. 

Service Offering 

We believe that offering a platform of services designed specifically for the healthcare sector puts us in a 
unique  position  as  a  provider  of  supply  chain  solutions.  Our  competitive  strengths  in  temperature 
management,  quality  assurance  and  regulatory  compliance,  visibility  throughout  the  supply  chain  and 
security  allow  us  to  provide  healthcare  clients  with  specialized,  integrated,  end-to-end  supply  chain 
solutions. We generate revenue across five principal product lines: logistics and distribution, packaging 
solutions, air freight forwarding, ground transportation, and dedicated and last mile delivery. We believe 
our service offerings complement one another and allow us to accommodate the full range of our clients’ 
specialized supply chain needs on an integrated and efficient basis.  

Relationships with Manufacturers and Distributors 

We believe that our market position is strengthened by the desire of our clients to increasingly outsource 
their  supply-chain  management  to  specialized  service  providers  with  the  expertise  and  experience  to 
effectively and efficiently optimize their product distribution to clients. We are committed to developing 
and  expanding  long-term  strategic  relationships  with  our  clients  to  provide  improved  operational 
efficiencies and access to value-added services. From manufacturers to distributors to retail locations to 
front doors across Canada, we store, transport and monitor and manage the temperature conditions of a 
range of healthcare products. Our trained personnel comply with healthcare industry regulations and best 
practices. 

New Development Projects 

We  secure  client  contract  wins  as  a  foundation  for  growth  and  then  add  incremental  warehousing  and 
distribution square footage through capital efficient leases. Given the required lead-time to build and certify 

  
- 6 - 

facilities, as we secure new major client contracts, we typically strategically invest in excess capacity in 
anticipation of growing client needs, as well as new client opportunities, which enables capital efficient 
growth. We have followed this strategic approach in the past at our Brampton, Ontario location, where we 
constructed  a  new  267,000  square  foot  facility  in  2016  to  accommodate  a  major  new  client.  We  are 
leveraging our experience from the construction of the Brampton facility for the development of our new 
220,000 square foot facility in Mississauga, Ontario. 

National Demographics and Healthcare Spending 

We believe that we are strategically positioned to directly benefit from the strong growth expected in the 
Canadian healthcare sector, which is driven by a number of favourable trends including an aging population, 
increased life expectancy and increasing healthcare spending.  

Regulatory Environment 

In order to maintain the safety, quality and efficacy of healthcare products, government regulations have 
been introduced to set out rules relating to, among other things, the packaging, warehousing, distribution, 
transportation and temperature monitoring of such products. The pace and complexity of such regulations 
has increased in recent years, including through the introduction of, and revisions to, many Health Canada 
guidelines, such as Health Canada’s GUI-0069 - Guidelines for Environmental Control of Drugs During 
Storage  and  Transportation  (“GUI-0069”),  among  others.  Recognizing  the  ever-changing  regulatory 
demands on the healthcare sector, we take a proactive approach to stay aligned with regulatory protocols, 
provide environments that are compliant with good manufacturing practices and offer our clients’ real-time 
monitoring and reporting. By outsourcing their logistics and transportation needs to specialists, our clients 
can focus on their core business. 

Competition 

We believe that we offer a unique set of services in the marketplace and stand apart from other outsourced 
healthcare service providers and traditional logistics and transportation companies. In particular, we believe 
our differentiated capabilities, including our temperature management expertise, together with our coast-
to-coast distribution network and multiple service offerings uniquely positions us within our industry and 
sets us apart from companies specializing in global integration and supply chain management, national non-
temperature managed solutions, regional temperature managed solutions as well as niche service providers 
and  insourced  transportation  services.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  we  do  compete  with  FedEx, 
Purolator,  UPS  Supply  Chain  Solutions, Kuehne  +  Nagel  and  Lynden  Logistics  in  our  delivery  of  3PL 
services. We also compete with certain regional transportation providers, such as Williams Pharmalogistics 
in Quebec and Rogue Transportation Services Inc. in Ontario, as well as Skelton Trucking, primarily in 
respect of 2°C to 8°C shipments. 

Management & Employees 

Our  employee  culture  is  one  of  our  fundamental  strengths  and  a  strategic  priority.  Our  employees  are 
passionate about our business and are dedicated to creating and improving solutions for our clients. We 
empower our employees through training and professional development programs as well as strong open 
lines  of  communication  and  encourage  our  employees  to  suggest  ways  in  which  we  can  improve  our 
operations. As our business has grown we have maintained a close connection to our employee base. We 
recognize and celebrate our very best employees who act as leaders within our employee team and promote 
movement within our organization in an effort to retain and encourage our top talent. As a result of these 

  
- 7 - 

efforts, we believe we have good relationships with our employees across our operating segments, none of 
whom are subject to collective bargaining agreements. 

Cost Escalation 

In order to provide the services that we offer, we incur various operating costs. These costs include amongst 
others, labour, rent, fuel, equipment, and insurance. We are susceptible to increases in the price of these 
items, many of which can fluctuate, often due to factors beyond our control, such as regional and global 
supply  and  demand  dynamics,  political  events,  terrorist  activities,  the  strength  of  the  Canadian  dollar 
relative to other currencies, and natural disasters.  

To mitigate the risk of cost escalation, we focus on operational excellence, synergies between our product 
lines  and  cost  controls.  We  rely  on,  among  other  things,  long-term  planning,  budgeting  processes,  and 
internal benchmarking to achieve our profitability targets. Additionally, we mitigate the risk of inflation by 
utilizing leases to fund our network of facilities, vehicles and logistics equipment and by using third party 
service providers. We also mitigate our exposure to rising fuel costs through the implementation of fuel 
surcharge  programs,  which  pass  the  majority  of  cost  increases  to  our  clients.  In  addition,  we  have 
implemented a number of policies that focus on asset efficiency, including fuel economy, asset utilization, 
proper  repairs  and  maintenance  of  equipment,  and  measured  equipment  lease  renewals.  Many  of  our 
contracts include cost of living indexes that provide for annual price adjustments which further protect us 
from the risks of escalating costs. 

Acquisitions 

We  selectively  evaluate  strategically  compelling  acquisition  opportunities  that  leverage  or  expand  our 
differentiated capabilities. In pursuing potential acquisition candidates, we will assess several criteria to 
expand  our  domestic  platform,  including:  (i)  complementary  tuck-ins;  and  (ii)  entry  or  expansion  into 
growth verticals, new verticals and new service offerings, and will assess opportunities for expansion into 
the U.S. or international markets through an existing platform that aligns with our core capabilities and 
existing service offering.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business 

We have historically operated and managed our healthcare logistics and specialized transportation operating 
segments as separate businesses with separate management teams. Our healthcare logistics segment has 
operated under the brand name Accuristix and our specialized transportation segment has operated under 
the brand name ATS Healthcare. Following our IPO, both Accuristix and ATS Healthcare have continued 
to operate autonomously, each having its own management. Over time, as we grow, our operating segments 
may change. If this occurs, we will reflect the change in our reporting practices. 

Both  of  our  operating  segments  conduct  their  businesses  in  a  manner  that  limits  capital  investments, 
preferring to lease facilities and certain equipment rather than allocating significant cash flows to capital 
expenditures. We believe our business model provides us with greater flexibility and lower risks, creating 
cost savings as compared to more capital expenditure intensive models. Accordingly, lease costs comprise 
a  significant  component  of  our  expenses.  Under  IFRS  16,  leases  have  been  capitalized,  resulting  in 
depreciation and interest expense rather than direct operating expenses, as would have been seen prior to 
the adoption of IFRS 16. We believe that the cash flows associated with our lease payments are a relevant 
metric in evaluating the performance of our business. 

Revenue 

We generate revenue from the provision of supply chain solutions to the Canadian healthcare sector. Across 
our logistics and transportation operating segments, we generate revenue across five principal product lines: 
logistics and distribution, packaging solutions, air freight forwarding, ground transportation, and dedicated 
and last mile delivery. 

Our healthcare logistics segment, which offers services under our Accuristix brand, generates revenue from 
the  provision  of  logistics  and  distribution  services  and  packaging  solutions  to  our  clients.  Services  are 
typically provided under master service agreements with terms that range from three to five years in length. 
Our logistics contracts typically include a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time as clients 
simultaneously  receive  and  consume  the  benefits  of  our  services.  For  this  performance  obligation,  we 
recognize revenue at the invoiced amount since this amount corresponds directly to our performance and 
the  value  to  the  client.  In  some  cases,  our  agreements  include  other  performance  obligations  related  to 

  
- 9 - 

managing  transportation  and  other  client  services  which  are  included  in  the  logistics  and  distribution 
product.  These services are typically priced at their stand-alone selling prices and are recognized over time 
on a proportionate and straight-line basis as the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits 
of our services. Intersegment revenue generated by Credo Systems Canada Inc. from the sale of thermal 
packaging containers to ATS Healthcare, as well as intra-segment revenue between Accuristix and Nova 
Pack Ltd. (“Nova Pack”) is eliminated on combination. 

Our specialized transportation segment, which offers services under our ATS Healthcare brand, generates 
revenue from the provision of specialized temperature-controlled, as well as non-temperature controlled, 
ground  transportation,  air  freight  forwarding  and  dedicated  and  last  mile  transportation  services  to  our 
clients. Certain additional services are provided to clients where requested as part of their transportation 
contracts,  such  as  chain  of  custody  and  other  incidental  services.  Transportation  revenue  is  recognized 
proportionally  as  a  shipment  moves  from  origin  to  destination  and  the  related  costs  are  recognized  as 
incurred.  Performance  obligations  are  short-term,  with  transit  typically  taking  less  than  one  week. 
Generally,  clients  are  billed  upon  shipment  of  the  freight,  and  remit  payment  according  to  approved 
payment terms. Intersegment revenue generated by ATS Healthcare from the provision of transportation 
services to Accuristix, on behalf of its logistics clients, is eliminated on combination. 

As is customary in our industry, most of our client contracts and transportation pricing terms include fuel-
surcharge revenue programs or cost recovery mechanisms to mitigate the effect of fuel price increases over 
base amounts established in the contract. However, these fuel surcharge mechanisms may not capture the 
entire amount of changes in fuel prices, and there is also a lag between the payment for fuel and collection 
of  surcharge  revenue.  Decreases  in  fuel  prices  reduce  the  cost  of  transportation  and  services,  and  will 
accordingly reduce our revenues and may reduce margins for certain product lines. 

Cost of Transportation and Services 

Our  cost  of  transportation  and  services  expense  includes  the  cost  of  providing  or  procuring  freight 
transportation  to  our  clients.  The  cost  of  transportation  and  services  for  our  specialized  transportation 
segment includes linehaul costs to connect our national network; pick-up and delivery costs paid to brokers, 
agents, and our drivers; fuel, toll fees and maintenance costs; and inbound and outbound handling costs 
which are largely comprised of hourly paid dock labour. The cost of transportation and services for our 
healthcare logistics segment includes purchased transportation expense, including fuel surcharges, sourced 
from carriers. ATS Healthcare is the largest provider of transportation services to Accuristix. Intersegment 
purchased transportation expense is eliminated on combination.  

Direct Operating Expenses 

Direct operating expenses are both fixed and variable and consist of operating costs related to our facilities 
(including our distribution centres, branches and the cross-docks that we operate from). Direct operating 
expenses consist mainly of personnel costs and facility and equipment expenses such as property taxes, 
utilities,  equipment  maintenance  and  repair,  costs  of  materials  and  supplies,  security  and  insurance 
expenses. We note that under IFRS 16 the costs associated with our leases are not recognized in our direct 
operating expenses. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 

Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses  (“SG&A”)  primarily  consist  of  the  cost  of  salaries  and 
benefits for  executive and certain administration functions, including  information  technology,  sales and 
client  service,  finance  and  accounting,  professional  fees,  facility  costs,  legal  costs  and  other  expenses 

  
- 10 - 

related to the corporate infrastructure required to support our business. We expect our SG&A to increase 
as  we  incur  additional  legal,  accounting,  insurance  and  other  expenses  associated  with  being  a  public 
company.  

Depreciation & Amortization 

Depreciation and amortization charges comprise non-cash charges expensed on the statement of income 
and comprehensive income to spread the purchase price of assets over their useful lives. Within both of our 
operating segments, we prefer to lease facilities and certain equipment rather than allocating significant 
cash flows to capital expenditures. We believe this approach provides us with greater flexibility and lower 
risks and results in cost savings as compared to capital expenditure intensive models. Accordingly, lease 
costs  comprise  a  significant  component  of  our  expenses.  Under  IFRS  16,  leases  have  been  capitalized, 
resulting in depreciation and interest expense rather than direct operating expense. 

Operating Income 

Operating Income  measures the amount of profit derived from our operations after deducting operating 
expense such as cost of transportation and services, direct operating expense, SG&A, and depreciation and 
amortization. We do not typically measure “cost of sales or gross profit” as we are a service business.  

Other Income 

Other income comprises income that does not arise from the Company’s main business, such as exchange 
gains  (losses)  and  gains  resulting  from  the  sale  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  certain  other 
insignificant sources. 

Interest Income 

Interest income comprises interest earned on cash and cash equivalents together with interest earned on 
certain amounts due from related parties. 

Interest Expense 

Interest  expense  comprises  interest  charged  to  the  statement  of  income  and  comprehensive  income 
primarily in connection with leased facilities and equipment under IFRS 16. Interest and bank charges and 
interest paid for amounts due to related parties are also included. In connection with our IPO, we entered 
into  the  Credit  Facilities.  Accordingly,  the  Company  has  begun  to  incur  interest  expense  on  the  Credit 
Facilities since December 11, 2019. 

Income Tax Expense 

Income tax expense comprises the amount that we have recognized in the accounting period related to our 
taxable income. Our effective tax rate is generally close to the statutory rate, but certain differences between 
income for tax and accounting income are recognized in the deferred income tax provision. 

Non-IFRS Measures 

EBITDA 

We  define  EBITDA  as  net  income  and  comprehensive  income  for  the  period  before:  (i)  income  tax 
(recovery) expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) interest expense; and (iv) depreciation and amortization. 

  
- 11 - 

We believe EBITDA is a useful measure to assess our financial performance because it provides a more 
relevant  picture  of  operating  results  by  excluding  the  effects  of  expenses  that  are  not  reflective  of  our 
underlying business performance. 

EBITDA Margin 

We define EBITDA Margin as EBITDA divided by revenue. EBITDA Margin represents a measure of our 
profitability expressed as a percentage of revenue. 

We  believe  EBITDA  Margin  is  a  useful  measure  to  assess  our  financial  performance  because  it  helps 
quantify our ability to convert revenues generated from clients into EBITDA. 

EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX 

We  define  EBITDA  less  Leases  and  CAPEX  as  EBITDA  less  cash  payments  for  leases  and  capital 
expenditures.  

We  believe  EBITDA  less  Leases  and  CAPEX  is  a  useful  measure  to  assess  our  financial  performance 
because it provides a measure of our operating earnings after reflecting the cash outflows associated with 
our  leases  and  capital  expenditures,  including  spending  on  leases,  property  plant  and  equipment  and 
intangibles  such  as  software,  but  before  items  which  we  view  as  non-operational  such  as  depreciation, 
amortization, interest expense and taxes. We believe this is a useful measure when comparing our business 
to others in the sector. 

EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX Conversion 

We define EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX Conversion as EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX divided by 
EBITDA. 

We  believe  EBITDA  less  Leases  and  CAPEX  Conversion  is  a  useful  measure  to  assess  our  financial 
performance because it demonstrates our ability to generate EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX in relation 
to our EBITDA. We believe this is a useful measure when comparing our business to others in the sector.  

EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX Margin 

We  define  EBITDA  less  Leases  and  CAPEX  Margin  as  EBITDA  less  Leases  and  CAPEX  divided  by 
revenue. 

We  believe  EBITDA  less  Leases  and  CAPEX  Margin  is  a  useful  measure  to  assess  our  financial 
performance because it allows us to evaluate our ability to generate EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX in 
relation to the revenues we earn from our clients. We believe this is a useful measure when comparing our 
business to others in the sector.

Three and Months Ended December 31, 2019 Compared with 2018 

The  following  section  provides  an  overview  of  our  financial  performance  for  Q4  2019  and  Q4  2018. 
Although our business continued to operate in its normal course throughout Q4 2019, a significant event 
occurred  with  the  completion  of  our  IPO  on  December  11,  2019.  In  connection  with  our  IPO,  certain 
expenses, such as transaction costs and the cost of share-based compensation arrangements for directors, 
officers, and certain key management employees were recognized in Q4 2019. The impact of these costs is 
discussed in the SG&A section below. 

Revenue 

Revenue for Q4 2019 increased by 6.3% to $76.6 million compared with Q4 2018. Revenue growth was 
led by continued volume growth in ground transportation and by new contracts in logistics and distribution 
and  dedicated  and  last  mile  delivery  products,  resulting  in  approximately  $4.5  million  of  incremental 
revenue.  

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Healthcare Logistics Segment 

- 14 - 

Revenue in our healthcare logistics segment increased by 4.0% for Q4 2019, or approximately $1.1 million, 
to $27.6 million, compared with Q4 2018. Revenue growth in this segment was primarily driven by the 
factors set out below.  

Logistics & Distribution 

Logistics and distribution revenue for Q4 2019 increased by 7.7%, or approximately $1.6 million, to $22.6 
million, compared with  Q4 2018. We did  not obtain any significant new clients during the quarter, but 
revenue  was  bolstered  by  higher  handling  and  transportation  revenues  driven  by  higher  volumes  from 
existing clients. 

Packaging 

Packaging  revenue  for  Q4  2019  decreased  by  10.3%,  or  approximately  $0.6  million,  to  $4.9  million, 
compared with Q4 2018. Q4 2019 was impacted by the decision of our largest packaging client to defer 
certain  projects  until  the  first  quarter  of  2020.  Accordingly,  we  expect  above  average  growth  for  the 
packaging product in January and February of 2020. 

Specialized Transportation Segment 

Revenue in our specialized transportation segment for Q4 2019 increased by 7.7%, or approximately $3.5 
million to $49.0 million, compared with Q4 2018. Revenue growth in this segment was primarily driven by 
the factors set out below.  

Air Freight Forwarding 

Air  freight  forwarding  revenue  for  Q4  2019  decreased  by  1.9%  or  approximately  $0.1  million  to  $5.2 
million, compared with Q4 2018. Revenue growth for air freight forwarding has been slower than other 
products as clients generally try to minimize expedited shipping by air due to its relatively high cost  as 
compared to ground transportation.  

Ground Transportation 

Ground transportation revenue for Q4 2019 increased by 7.8%, or approximately $3.3 million, to $45.7 
million, compared with Q4 2018. Revenue was primarily impacted by increased volume from our existing 
client base. 

Dedicated and Last Mile Delivery 

Dedicated and last mile delivery revenue for Q4 2019 increased by 28.0%, or approximately $1.1 million, 
to $4.8 million, compared with Q4 2018. Revenue was primarily impacted by expanded routes for existing 
clients.  Dedicated  and  last  mile  delivery  growth  is  expected  to  continue  as  Health  Canada  expands  its 
enforcement of GUI-0069 in connection with temperature-controlled transportation. 

Cost of Transportation and Services 

Cost of transportation and services for Q4 2019 was $32.6 million, or 42.6% of revenue, compared with 
$31.4 million, or 43.5% of revenue, for Q4 2018. The cost of transportation and services operating ratios 

  
- 15 - 

for the three months ended both periods are in line with prior years with no major fluctuations in costs 
versus revenue. 

Direct Operating Expenses 

Direct  operating  expenses for  Q4  2019  were  $18.6  million,  or  24.3%  of revenue,  compared  with  $19.2 
million, or 26.7% of revenue, for Q4 2018. The year-over-year operating ratios for direct operating expenses 
in relation to revenue are consistent with prior years with no major factors influencing variances. In October 
2019 we expanded our ATS branch capacity in Calgary and relocated our Accuristix distribution centre to 
a new and larger facility in Calgary. Accordingly, we experienced increases in direct operating expenses in 
November and December, 2019 in relation to both Calgary expansions as we invested to support future 
growth. These additional costs were offset by improved efficiencies and the recovery of costs in connection 
with our Calgary relocation from logistics and distribution clients. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 

SG&A for Q4 2019 was $7.5 million, or 9.8% of revenue, compared with $6.7 million, or 9.3% of revenue, 
for Q4 2018. SG&A expenses for Q4 2019 include IPO transaction costs of approximately $1.0 million, or 
1.2% of revenue, which are incremental to the historical SG&A expense reflected in our operating income. 
A further $1.4 million, or 1.8% of revenue, was expensed in connection with the Company’s share-based 
payment  arrangements.  These  increased  costs  in  Q4  2019  were  partially  offset  by  a  special  one-time 
employee compensation cost in the specialized transportation segment in Q4 2018. The Company expects 
approximately $2.0 million of incremental annual costs to be incurred as a result of being a public company 
in 2020 and each year thereafter as compared to its prior costs as a private company. 

Depreciation and Amortization 

Depreciation and amortization for Q4 2019 was $6.5 million compared with $6.2 million for Q4 2018. The 
increase  in  depreciation  and  amortization  of  $0.3  million  for  Q4  2019  represents  a  5.6%  year-on-year 
increase and is attributable to leases for new right of use logistics and transportation equipment to support 
growth in the specialized transportation segment. Our new leased facilities in Calgary came online during 
Q4 2019 in connection with our expansion to support future growth, which accounts for the majority of the 
year-on-year increase. 

Other Income/Expense 

Other expense for Q4 2019 was $0.1 million compared with other income of $0.1 million for Q4 2018. 
These amounts are immaterial to the overall performance of the Company for these quarters. 

Interest Income 

Interest income for Q4 2019 was $0.3 million compared with $0.3 million for Q4 2018. 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense for Q4 2019 was $1.0 million compared with $0.8 million for Q4 2018. Interest expense 
related to leased facilities and equipment comprises the significant majority of interest expense; however, 
$0.1 million of interest expense was incurred in connection with the Credit Facilities which were entered 
into in connection with the IPO. The Company expects to continue to hold debt under the Term Facility, 
which does not have any repayment schedule except as a single repayment at the end of the term, and will 
incur interest expense on the Term Facility for the duration of the term (four years). 

  
Income Tax Expense 

- 16 - 

Income tax expense for Q4 2019 was $3.4 million compared with $2.2 million for Q4 2018. Income tax 
expense for Q4 2019 is higher than what would be expected at the statutory rate because deferred tax assets 
have not been recognized in respect of tax losses related to IPO transaction costs. In addition, deductible 
temporary differences, comprising IPO transaction costs which have been charged directly to equity, have 
not yet been recognized. The Company is evaluating alternatives under which sufficient future taxable profit 
will be available against which the Company can use the benefits therefrom.  

Operating Income and Net Income and Comprehensive Income 

Operating income for Q4 2019 was $11.3 million compared with $8.6 million for Q4 2018, representing an 
increase of $2.7 million, or 31.4%.  

Net Income and comprehensive income for Q4 2019 increased by 19.5%, or $1.2 million, to $7.1 million, 
from $5.9 million for Q4 2018. Operating income and net income and comprehensive income increased 
over the prior year due to the factors discussed above.  

EBITDA 

EBITDA for Q4 2019 increased by 19.4%, to $17.7 million, from $14.9 million for Q4 2018. EBITDA 
increased over the year due to the factors discussed above. 

EBITDA Margin 

EBITDA Margin for Q4 2019 improved to 23.1% from 20.6% for Q4 2018. Operating leverage was created 
for  Q4  2019  versus  the  prior  year  as  increases  in  our  two  most  significant  operating  costs  (cost  of 
transportation and services and direct operating expenses) were lower than the increases in revenue growth. 

Fiscal 2019 Compared With Fiscal 2018 

The following section provides an overview of our financial performance during Fiscal 2019 compared 
with Fiscal 2018. 

Revenue 

Revenue for Fiscal 2019 increased by 4.7%, or approximately $13.0 million, to $290.0 million, compared 
with Fiscal 2018. Revenue was impacted by a combination of volume growth and price increases in ground 
transportation,  new  contracts  in  logistics  and  distribution  and  higher  project  volumes  in  packaging.  All 
product lines, except packaging, demonstrated year-on-year growth for 2019. 

Healthcare Logistics Segment 

Revenue  in  our  healthcare  logistics  segment  for  Fiscal  2018  increased  by  3.0%,  or  approximately  $3.2 
million,  to  $109.6  million,  compared  with  Fiscal  2018.  Revenue  growth  in  this  segment  was  primarily 
driven by the factors set out below.  

Logistics & Distribution 

Logistics and distribution revenue for Fiscal  2019 increased by 3.7%, or approximately $3.2 million, to 
$88.3 million, compared with Fiscal 2018. Revenue growth was primarily driven by the full year impact of 
new clients on-boarded during 2018 and partial contribution of new clients implemented during 2019.  

  
Packaging 

- 17 - 

Packaging revenue for Fiscal 2019 was flat at approximately $21.3 million, compared with Fiscal 2018. 
Revenue was primarily impacted by a deferral of fourth quarter projects by Nova Pack’s largest client to 
the first quarter of 2020. The Company expects stronger than average quarterly volumes for the first quarter 
of 2020 as a result. 

Specialized Transportation Segment 

Revenue in our specialized transportation segment for Fiscal  2019 increased by 5.7%, or approximately 
$9.8 million, to $180.4 million, compared with Fiscal 2018. Revenue growth in this segment was primarily 
driven by the factors set out below.  

Air Freight Forwarding 

Air freight forwarding revenue for Fiscal 2019 increased by 1.7%, or approximately $0.3 million, to $19.7 
million, compared with Fiscal 2018. Revenue was primarily impacted by 3% lower total weight shipped 
offset by price increases. 

Ground Transportation 

Ground transportation revenue for Fiscal 2019 increased by 5.3%, or approximately $8.6 million, to $169.0 
million,  compared  with  Fiscal  2018.  Revenue  was  primarily  impacted  by  continued  strong  demand  for 
temperature controlled (ambient 15°C to 25°C) transportation services and revenue management activity 
resulting in price increases. Approximately half of the revenue increase was due to increased year-on-year 
volume from our existing client base, with the remainder attributed to price increases. 

Dedicated and Last Mile Delivery 

Dedicated  and  last  mile  delivery  revenue  for  Fiscal  2019  increased  by  20.1%,  or  approximately  $2.8 
million,  to  $16.7  million,  compared  with  Fiscal  2018.  Year-on-year  growth  in  revenue  was  driven  by 
expansion  of  routes  from  existing  clients,  as  certain  wholesale  and  veterinary  distributors  deployed 
temperature-controlled  transportation  more  broadly  within  Canada  to  address  increased  Health  Canada 
enforcement of GUI-0069. 

Cost of Transportation and Services 

Cost of transportation and services for Fiscal  2019 was $121.4 million, or 41.9% of revenue, compared 
with $116.8 million, or 42.2% of revenue, for Fiscal 2018. The year-over-year improvement as a percentage 
of revenue was primarily driven by a stabilization of costs for employee drivers and outsourced carriers as 
the Company experienced the effects of a general shortage of drivers in Fiscal 2018. 

Direct Operating Expenses 

Direct operating expenses for Fiscal 2019 were $74.8 million, or 25.8% of revenue, compared with $74.2 
million, or 26.8% of revenue, for Fiscal 2018. The slight year-over-year improvement as a percentage of 
revenue was primarily driven by  improved efficiency through productivity gains and growth in revenue 
while leveraging our available facility capacity, in addition to improved utilization of our branch facilities. 

  
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 

- 18 - 

SG&A for Fiscal 2019 was $23.1 million, or 8.0% of revenue, compared with $21.7 million, or 7.8% of 
revenue, for Fiscal 2018. The year-over-year decline as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by 
expenses attributable to the  IPO. The Company proactively manages its overhead costs and attempts to 
limit increases in SG&A costs, including employee costs, to activities that will drive additional revenue. 

Depreciation and Amortization 

Depreciation and amortization for Fiscal 2019 was $25.7 million, compared with $23.5 million for Fiscal 
2018.  The  increase  is  attributed  to  continued  investment  in  facilities  and  equipment  to  support  the 
Company’s growth. 

Other Income/Expense 

Other expense for Fiscal 2019 was $(0.1) million, compared with other income of $0.0 million for Fiscal 
2018, due primarily to losses on the disposal of equipment realized in Fiscal 2019. 

Interest Income 

Interest  income  for  Fiscal  2019  was  $1.0  million,  compared  with  $0.9  million  for  Fiscal  2018,  due  to 
increased cash and cash equivalents balances throughout the year up to the date of the IPO. The Company’s 
capital structure has changed in connection with the IPO. Moving forward, interest income is expected to 
be negligible. 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense for Fiscal 2019 increased to $3.5 million, compared with $3.0 million for Fiscal 2018 in 
connection  with  increases in leased  facilities and equipment  to  support  growth in  our  business.  Interest 
expense related to leased facilities and equipment comprises the significant majority of interest expense, 
with interest expense in connection with the Company’s  Credit  Facilities amounting to $0.1 million for 
Fiscal 2019 (Fiscal 2018 - $nil).  

Income Tax Expense 

Income  tax  expense  for  Fiscal  2019  was  $12.0  million,  compared  with  $10.5  million  for  Fiscal  2018. 
Income tax expense for Fiscal 2019 is higher than what would be expected at the statutory rate because 
deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of tax losses related to IPO transaction costs. In 
addition,  deductible  temporary  differences,  comprising  IPO  transaction  costs  which  have  been  charged 
directly  to  equity,  have  not  yet  been  recognized.  The  Company  is  evaluating  alternatives  under  which 
sufficient future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can use the benefits therefrom. 

Operating Income and Net Income and Comprehensive Income 

Operating  income  for  Fiscal  2019  was  $45.0  million,  compared  with  $40.9  million  for  Fiscal  2018, 
comprising an increase of $4.1 million or 10.1%. Net Income and comprehensive income for Fiscal 2019 
increased by 7.7%, or $2.1 million, to $30.3 million from $28.2 million in Fiscal 2018. Operating income 
and net income and comprehensive income increased over the prior year due to the factors discussed above.  

  
EBITDA 

- 19 - 

EBITDA for Fiscal 2019 increased by 9.6%, or $6.2 million, to $70.6 million from $64.4 million in Fiscal 
2018. EBITDA increased over the year due to the factors discussed above. 

EBITDA Margin 

EBITDA Margin for Fiscal 2019 improved slightly to 24.3% from 23.2% in Fiscal 2018. Improvements in 
cost of transportation and services and direct operating expenses more than offset the deterioration of the 
SG&A expenses (including the one-time transaction costs associated with the IPO).  

Summary of Quarterly Results 

While there is no significant seasonality to our business, our results are impacted by our clients’ storage 
and shipping activities throughout the year as well as the timing of new client implementations or exits.

(1) Earnings per share data is not presented for 2018 or the first three quarters of 2019 as AHG was not incorporated until November 12, 2019. 
  Earnings per share is in respect of profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of the Company. 

Revenue has trended upwards through the past eight quarters with the final quarter in 2019 reflecting both 
strong shipping volumes from our clients as well as the impact of price increases which were contractually 
implemented in the specialized transportation segment. 

Operating income, net income and comprehensive income, and EBITDA for Q4 2018 reflect a one-time 
special bonus paid to certain executives of $1.6 million. Operating income, net income and comprehensive 
income, and EBITDA for Q4 2019 reflect IPO transaction costs and share-based compensation expenses 
totaling $2.4 million which are incremental to the historical performance of the Company. 

Liquidity & Capital Resources 

Overview 

Our principal uses of funds are for operating expenses, taxes, interest, capital expenditures, lease payments, 
and  distributions  to  related  parties.  We  believe  that  cash  generated  from  our  operations,  together  with 
amounts available under the Credit Facilities will be sufficient to meet our future operating expenses, taxes, 
interest, capital expenditures, lease payments and any further distributions to related parties. In addition, 
we believe that our EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX provides us with significant financial flexibility to 
service our debt and to pursue our future growth strategies. However, our ability to fund operating expenses, 
taxes, interest, capital expenditures, future lease payments, and distributions to related parties will depend 
on, among other things, our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic,

financial and other factors, including factors beyond our control. See “Accounting Classifications and Fair 
Values”,  “Summary  of  Factors  Affecting  Performance”  and  “Risk  Factors”  in  this  MD&A.  We  review 
potential acquisitions and investment opportunities in the normal course of our business and may  make 
select acquisitions and investments to implement our growth strategy when suitable opportunities arise.

As at December 31, 2019 we had $30.6 million of working capital compared to $114.8 million of working 
capital as at December 31, 2018. The $84.2 million decrease in working capital is attributed to the Pre-IPO 
Reorganization. We made net distributions to related parties and paid dividends to non-controlling interests 
of $112.0 million in Fiscal 2019 (Fiscal 2018 - $26.0 million) which reduced our cash and total working 
capital balances. The year-over-year decrease in working capital was partially offset by a loan made to the 
Employee Trust in connection with the closing of our IPO. 

Credit Facilities 

We entered into the Credit Facilities upon closing of our IPO, comprised of the Revolving Credit Facility 
and  the  Term  Facility.  As  at  December  31,  2019,  the  aggregate  amount  outstanding  under  the  Credit 
Facilities was approximately $3.9 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and $25 million under the 
Term Facility). The Credit Facilities will mature and be due and payable on December 11, 2023. 

The Revolving Credit Facility is available to be drawn in Canadian dollars by way of prime rate loans, 
bankers’ acceptances and letters of credit, and in U.S. dollars by way of base rate loans, LIBOR based loans 
and letters of credit, in each case, plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. The Term Facility 
was  drawn  in  a  single  Canadian  dollar  advance  on  closing  of  the  IPO  by  way  of  prime  rate  loans  and 
bankers’ acceptances.  

In  order  to  support  future  potential  growth  through  acquisitions,  the  Credit  Facilities  also  include  an 
accordion feature to allow us to increase the commitment under one or both of the Credit Facilities in an 
aggregate  principal  amount  of  up  to  $100.0  million,  such  that  any  amounts  drawn  under  the  accordion 
feature would be in addition to the amounts ordinarily available, subject to the agreement of participating 
lenders and provided that the Company is not, or would not, be in default under the Credit Facilities or in 
non-compliance with any financial covenants and an event of default does not or would not exist, after 
giving effect thereto and provided that all representations and warranties are true and correct immediately

prior  to,  and  after  giving  effect to, such increase.  As of  the  date of this  MD&A,  this  accordion  feature 
remains uncommitted.  

Capital Expenditures 

Capital expenditures for Q4 2019 were $3.3 million (Q4 2018 - $1.3 million) and in Fiscal 2019 were $5.9 
million (Fiscal 2018 - $2.5 million). Capital expenditures have historically been funded through cash flows 
from  operations.  Management  has  traditionally  divided  its  capital  expenditures  into  two  subcategories, 
Capital Expenditures (Maintenance) and Capital Expenditures (Growth), which are further detailed below. 

There are no known trends or expected fluctuations in the Company’s capital resources, including expected 
changes in the mix and relative cost of these resources. 

Capital Expenditures (Maintenance) 

Maintenance CAPEX refers to capital expenditures necessary for us to sustain our assets in order to continue 
operating  in  our  current  form.  We  generally  seek  to  maintain  our  facilities  and  equipment  at  a  level 
consistent with the needs of the sector we operate within and ensure that preventative maintenance programs 
are in place to achieve the performance expected from our facilities and equipment. Outlays for maintenance 
capital expenditures for Q4 2019 were $0.3 million (Q4 2018 - $0.2 million) and in Fiscal 2019 were $1.5 
million (Fiscal 2018 - $1.2 million). These capital expenditures have historically been funded through cash 
flows from operations.  

Capital Expenditures (Growth) 

Growth CAPEX comprises expenditures on new assets that are intended to grow our productive capacity. 
These  capital  expenditures  are  made  to  acquire  or  expand  leasehold  improvements,  transportation  and 
logistics  equipment  (including  pick-up  and  delivery  equipment,  warehouse  racking,  material  handling 
equipment, warehouse automation equipment and specialized logistics equipment such as coolers or vaults, 
among others), furniture and fixtures, computer equipment to support new contracts or additional volume 
from new business. Outlays for growth capital expenditures for Q4 2019 were $3.0 million (Q4 2018 - $1.1 
million) and in Fiscal 2019 were $4.4 million (Fiscal 2018 - $1.3 million) and can range from $1.0 million 
up to $10.0 million in any given year, depending on the underlying expansion need. Growth CAPEX has 
also historically been funded through cash flows from operations.

EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX and EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX Conversion 

Our EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX, which represents the earnings we generate after cash outflows to 
support operations and maintain our capital assets, was $8.6 million for Q4 2019 compared to $8.3 million 
for Q4 2018.  

Our  EBITDA  less  Leases and  CAPEX increased  to $42.3  million in  Fiscal  2019  from  $42.1  million in 
Fiscal 2018. The EBITDA less Leases and CAPEX generated in Fiscal 2019 represented a 60.0% EBITDA 
less Leases and CAPEX Conversion (Fiscal 2018 – 65.5%), demonstrating our continued ability to finance 
our ongoing growth and provide shareholders with the opportunity for dividends. EBITDA less Leases and 
CAPEX in Fiscal 2019 versus Fiscal 2018 reflects increased expenditures associated with the opening of 
our new facilities in Calgary.  

Cash Flow Generated From Operating Activities 

Cash flows generated from operating activities for Q4 2019 totaled $26.5 million and versus $14.1 million 
for  the  same  period  in  2018.  The  increases  in  cash  flows  generated  from  operating  activities  relate 
principally to normal fluctuations in trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable balances. 

Cash flows generated from operating activities in Fiscal 2019 totaled $61.0 million (Fiscal 2018 – $52.3 
million). The increase in cash flow from operations is the result of strong and stable margins fueled by 
organic growth, generated from a mix of new clients, increased pricing and increased volumes, across our 
five product lines. 

Cash Flow (Used In) Investing Activities 

Cash  flows  used  in  investing  activities  for  Q4  2019  and  Fiscal  2019  reflect  growth-based  capital 
expenditures of $3.0 million and $4.4 million respectively, in connection with the expansion to two facilities 
in Calgary. 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cash Flow (Used In) Financing Activities 

- 23 - 

We operate  our  business by  utilizing  leases to  primarily  finance  our  vehicles  and  facilities,  resulting  in 
significant lease payments on an annual basis. We paid $22.3 million for leases, including interest expense, 
in Fiscal 2019 (Fiscal 2018 - $19.7 million). Further, we made distributions to related parties in Fiscal 2019 
of $112.0 million (Fiscal 2018 – 25.8 million) and paid dividends to non-controlling interests in Fiscal 2018 
of $0.2 million.  

Contractual Obligations 

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had the following contractual commitments:  

  Outstanding letters of guarantee in the amount of $180 (December 31, 2018 – $68). 
  A  lease  agreement,  entered  into  by  the  Company  on  November  28,  2019,  relating  to  a  facility 
located at 200 Edgeware Road, Brampton, Ontario for a 7-year lease term commencing on July 1, 
2020. Total lease commitments over this term amount to $15,450. In relation to the same facility, 
the  Company  entered  into  a  construction  agreement  on  November  28,  2019  with  Orlando 
Corporation  Inc.,  as  contractor,  and  Stevron  Holdings  Limited,  as  landlord,  committing  to 
construction  work  of  $2,484,  of  which  the  landlord  has  provided  $1,200  in  cash  allowances, 
received in January 2020. Construction of the facility is expected to be completed by June 2020. 
  Commitments relating to the leasing of fleet equipment, ranging from 60 to 84 months, beginning 
upon delivery to the Company of the equipment in 2020, for total lease commitments of $2,987. 

Credit facilities 

As at December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount outstanding under the Credit Facilities was approximately 
$3.9  million  under  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  and  $25  million  under  the  Term  Facility).  The  Credit 
Facilities will mature and be due and payable on December 11, 2023. 

Leases 

We lease buildings and equipment in the operation of our healthcare logistics and specialized transportation 
business. Building lease terms range from five to ten years, with many leases including optional extension 
periods. For Fiscal 2019, building lease liabilities are calculated using our average incremental borrowing 
rate of 3.75% (Fiscal 2018 – 3.69%). Equipment lease terms range from one to five years. For Fiscal 2019, 
equipment lease liabilities are calculated using our incremental borrowing rate of 4.07% (Fiscal 2018 – 
4.66%)  for  our  specialized  transportation  segment  and  3.95% (Fiscal  2018  –  4.37%) for  our  healthcare 
logistics segment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably expected to have a current or future 
material impact on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital 
expenditures or capital resources. 

Seasonality 

There is no significant seasonality to our business. 

Financial Instruments 

Financial assets 

Accounts  receivable  are  initially  recognized  when  they  are  originated.  All  other  financial  assets  and 
financial liabilities are initially recognized when we become a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instrument. 

A financial asset (unless it is an account receivable without a significant financing component) or financial 
liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), 
transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. An account receivable without a 
significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price. 

Our  financial  assets  are  comprised  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  due  from  related 
parties, and long-term deposits. On initial recognition, we classify these financial assets as measured at 
amortized cost, when both of the following conditions are met: 

• 

• 

it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash 
flows; and 
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. 

These financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The 
amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and 
impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or 
loss.  

Impairment of financial assets 

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial 
assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events 
that  occurred  after  the  initial  recognition  of  the  financial  asset,  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  of  the 
investment have been decreased. 

For accounts receivable, we apply a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses (“ECLs”).  
Therefore we do not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognize a loss allowance based on lifetime 
ECLs at each reporting date.  We have established a provision matrix that is based on our historical credit 
loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. 

  
 
- 25 - 

When an account receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. 
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are offset against the allowance account. Changes 
in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss. 

Financial liabilities  

Our financial liabilities are comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, income 
taxes payable and amounts due from related parties. Our financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost 
using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized 
in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss. 

Related Party Transactions 

Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. 

During the year, we entered into transactions with related parties that were incurred in the normal course 
of business. Our policy is to conduct all transactions and settle all balances with related parties on market 
terms and conditions. All outstanding balances with these related parties are measured at amortized cost 
and are to be settled in cash within two months of the reporting date. None of the balances are secured. No 
expense has been recognized in the current year or prior year for bad or doubtful debts in respect of amounts 
owed by related parties. 

Certain of our operating units provide services to other operating units outside of their reportable segment. 
Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates, which approximate fair value, and are reflected as 
revenues of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market conditions. 
Such intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in our consolidated results. Michael Andlauer, our 
Chief Executive Officer, is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM regularly 
reviews financial information at the operating segment level in order to make decisions about resources to 
be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. Segment results that are reported to the CODM 
include items directly attributable to a segment, as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. 
We evaluate performance based on the various financial measures of our two operating segments. 

The amounts below are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise specified. 

Andlauer Management Group Inc. 

As of the date hereof, AMG holds all of the Multiple Voting Shares of the Company and 75,000 Subordinate 
Voting Shares, representing approximately 67% of the issued and outstanding Shares and 89% of the voting 
power  attached  to  all  of  the  Shares.  AMG  is  owned  and  controlled  by  Michael  Andlauer,  our  Chief 
Executive Officer and a director of the Company. 

In connection with the IPO, AHG acquired the AHG Entities from AMG in consideration for the issuance 
of:  (i)  25,175,000  Multiple  Voting  Shares,  (ii)  a  non-interest  bearing  promissory  note  in  the  aggregate 
principal amount of $186,125 (“Acquisition Note 1”) and (iii) a non-interest bearing convertible promissory 
note  in  the  principal  amount  of  $13,875  (“Acquisition  Note  2”),  which  was  convertible  into  925,000 
Subordinate Voting Shares at the option of the holder. Upon closing of our IPO on December 11, 2019, we 
used the aggregate net proceeds raised from the IPO, totaling $150,000, together with a draw of $50,000 
from  our  Credit  Facilities,  to  repay  Acquisition  Note  1,  and  make  a  non-interest  bearing  loan  to  the 
Employee Trust in the principal amount of $13,875 (the “Employee Trust Loan”). On that same date, AMG 
converted  Acquisition  Note  2  into  925,000  Subordinate  Voting  Shares  (which  the  Employee  Trust 
subsequently acquired using the proceeds from the Employee Trust Loan), and  converted 75,000 of the 

  
- 26 - 

Multiple  Voting  Shares  received  pursuant  to  the  Purchase  Agreement  into  75,000  Subordinate  Voting 
Shares (which it intends to transfer, at least 180 days after closing of the IPO, to select independent owner-
operators engaged by AHG). 

AMG  provides  key  management  personnel  to  us  for  which  it  receives  management  fees.  We  paid 
management fees of $670 for Fiscal 2019 (Fiscal 2018 - $696) to AMG in connection with compensation 
for  key  management  personnel.  We  do  not  expect  to  continue  purchasing  key  management  personnel 
services from AMG in 2020. All employees involved in the AHG business previously employed by AMG 
have become our employees. 

In Fiscal 2019, we began to recover facility lease costs from AMG. For Fiscal 2019 we recovered $320 of 
facility lease costs from AMG. We expect to continue to incur and recover facility lease costs in connection 
with AMG. In Fiscal 2019, we charged AMG $12 (Fiscal 2018 - $12) for recovery of shared services costs.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to 
make  judgments,  estimates  and  assumptions  about  future  events.  These  estimates  and  the  underlying 
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures about contingent assets and 
liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and apply equally to both our healthcare 
logistics segment and our specialized transportation segment. Such estimates include the expected credit 
losses on accounts receivable, the useful life of long-lived assets, the Company’s incremental borrowing 
rate,  valuation  of  property,  plant  and  equipment,  valuation  of  goodwill  and  intangible  assets,  the 
measurement  of  identified  assets  and  liabilities  acquired  in  business  combinations,  share-based

compensation arrangements, the provision for income taxes and other provisions and contingencies. These 
estimates  and  assumptions  are  based  on  management’s  best  estimates  and  judgments.  Management 
evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, 
including  the  current  economic  environment,  which  management  believes  to  be  reasonable  under  the 
circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. 
Actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in those estimates and assumptions resulting from 
changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of future 
periods.  Information  about  critical  judgments,  assumptions  and  estimation  uncertainties  that  have  a 
significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year include the following: 

  Determining the expected credit losses related to trade accounts receivable; 

 

 

Estimating the useful life of our property, plant and equipment and determining estimates and 
assumptions related to impairment tests for long-lived assets; 

Estimating the useful life of our intangible assets and determining estimates and assumptions 
related to impairment tests for intangibles and goodwill; 

  Determining the valuation of share-based compensation arrangements; 

  Determining estimates and assumptions in measuring deferred tax assets and liabilities; 

 

Estimating our incremental borrowing rate in connection with measuring lease liabilities; and  

  Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies. 

Significant New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted 

Certain  new  accounting  standards  and  interpretations  have  been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for 
December 31, 2019 reporting periods and that we did not adopt early. Our assessment of the impact of these 
new standards and interpretations is set out below: 

Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations – Change in definition of business 

In  October  2018,  the  IASB  issued  amendments  to  IFRS  3  Business  Combinations  that  seek  to  clarify 
whether a transaction results in an asset or a business acquisition.  

The amendments include an election to use a concentration test. This is a simplified assessment that results 
in an asset acquisition if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in a single 
identifiable  asset  or  a  group  of  similar  identifiable  assets.  If  a  preparer  chooses  not  to  apply  the 
concentration test, or the test is failed, then the assessment focuses on the existence of a substantive process.  

The amendment applies to businesses acquired in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 
2020. Earlier application is permitted. The application of this amendment is not expected to have a material 
impact on our consolidated financial statements.  

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 - Definition of ‘Material’  

In  October  2018,  the  IASB  refined  its  definition  of  material  to  make  it  easier  to  understand.  In  the 
amendment, IASB promoted the concept of ‘obscuring’ to the definition, alongside the existing references 
to ‘omitting’ and ‘misstating’. Additionally, the IASB increased the threshold of ‘could influence’ to ‘could 
reasonably  be  expected  to  influence’.  The  amendments  are  effective  from  January  1,  2020  but  may  be 
applied  earlier.  The  application  of  this  amendment  is  not  expected  to  have  a  material  impact  on  our 
consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Classifications and Fair Values 

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, and accounts 
payable and accrued liabilities. We believe that the carrying amount of each of these items is a reasonable 
approximation of fair value.  

Risk Factors 

For a detailed description of risk factors associated with the Company, refer to the “Risk Factors” section 
of our AIF, which is available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. 

In addition to the other risks that we face, which are detailed in the AIF under the heading “Risk Factors”, 
we have exposure, through our financial assets and liabilities, to the following risks from our use of financial 
instruments: credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and currency risk. Senior management monitors 
risk levels and reviews risk management activities as they determine to be necessary. 

Credit risk 

We are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties in connection with our 
financial assets, namely cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and long-term deposits. We do not 
typically  obtain  collateral  or  other  security  to  support  the  accounts  receivable  subject  to  credit  risk  but 
mitigate this risk by performing credit check procedures for new clients and monitoring credit limits for 
existing  clients.  Thereby,  we  deal  only  with  what  management  believes  to  be  financially  sound 
counterparties and, accordingly, do not anticipate significant loss for non-performance.  

The maximum exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and long-term 
deposits approximate the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with our 
financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Our approach to managing 
liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when 
they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking 
damage to our reputation.  

Our exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the collection of accounts receivable, or raising of funds to 
meet commitments and sustain operations. We control liquidity risk by management of working capital, 
cash flows and the availability of borrowing facilities. 

We entered into the Credit Facilities upon closing of our IPO, comprised of the Revolving Credit Facility 
and  the  Term  Facility.  As  at  December  31,  2019,  the  aggregate  amount  outstanding  under  the  Credit 
Facilities was approximately $3.9 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and $25 million under the 
Term  Facility).  The  Credit  Facilities  will  mature  and  be  due  and  payable  on  December  11,  2023.  The 
Revolving Credit Facility is available to be drawn in Canadian dollars by way of prime rate loans, bankers’ 
acceptances and letters of credit, and in U.S. dollars by way of base rate loans, LIBOR based loans and 
letters of credit, in each case, plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. The Term Facility was 
drawn in a single Canadian dollar advance on closing of the IPO by way of prime rate loans and bankers’ 
acceptances.  

  
- 32 - 

We have entered into Credit Facilities with affiliates of RBC and CIBC, comprised of a Revolving Credit 
Facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $75 million and a Term Facility in the aggregate principal 
amount of up to $25 million. The Facilities are available to be drawn in Canadian dollars by way of prime 
rate loans, bankers’ acceptances and letters of credit, and in U.S. dollars by way of base rate loans, LIBOR 
based loans and letters of credit, in each case, plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. In 
order to support future potential growth through acquisitions, the Credit Facilities also include an accordion 
feature to allow us to increase the commitment under one or both of the Credit Facilities in an aggregate 
principal amount of up to $100 million, such that any amounts drawn under the accordion feature would be 
in  addition  to  the  amounts  ordinarily  available,  subject  to  the  agreement  of  participating  lenders  and 
provided  that  the  Company  is  not,  or  would  not,  be  in  default  under  the  Credit  Facilities  or  in  non-
compliance with any financial covenants and an event of default does not or would not exist, after giving 
effect thereto and provided that all representations and warranties are true and correct immediately prior to, 
and  after  giving  effect  to,  such  increase.  As  of  the  date  of  this  MD&A,  this  accordion  feature  remains 
uncommitted.  

Our accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due and payable in the short-term.  

Interest rate risk 

The Company has a Revolving Credit Facility and Term Facility that each bear interest at a floating rate 
subject to fluctuations in the bank prime rate. Changes in the bank prime lending rate can cause fluctuations 
in interest payments and cash flows. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate 
the effect of this risk. The facilities under our Credit Facilities bear interest at prime plus 0.45% per annum. 
At December 31, 2019, the interest rate was 4.4%. 

Due to timing at which the Company entered into the Credit Facilities in relation to its year end, there has 
been no exposure to significant interest rate fluctuations. 

Currency risk 

The Company enters into foreign currency purchase and sale transactions and has assets and liabilities that 
are denominated in foreign currencies and thus are exposed to the financial risk of earnings fluctuations 
arising from changes in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company 
does not currently use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.  

Outstanding Share Data 

Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, an unlimited 
number of Multiple Voting Shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series. As at 
March  12,  2020, there  were  12,500,000  Subordinate Voting  Shares  issued  and  outstanding,  25,100,000 
Multiple  Voting  Shares  issued  and  outstanding  (each  of  which  is  convertible  into  Subordinate  Voting 
Shares on a one-for-one basis), and no preferred shares issued and outstanding. In addition, as at such date 
we had 1,650,000 options issued and outstanding under the Company’s omnibus incentive plan, each of 
which can be exercised or settled for one Subordinate Voting Share. As of the date hereof, AMG holds all 
of the Multiple Voting Shares and 75,000 of the Subordinate Voting Shares, representing approximately 
67% of the issued and outstanding Shares and 89% of the voting power attached to all of the Shares. 

Subject to financial results, capital requirements, available cash flow, corporate law requirements and any 
other factors that the board of directors of the Company may consider relevant, the Company expects to 
declare  a  quarterly  dividend  on  the  Subordinate  Voting  Shares  and  Multiple  Voting  Shares  equal  to 

  
- 33 - 

approximately  $0.05  per  share  on  an  ongoing  basis. The first  dividend that  will  be  payable  will  be  the 
dividend for the period beginning on December 11, 2019, and ending on March 31, 2020 to shareholders 
of record on March 31, 2020. This first dividend will be equal to an aggregate amount of approximately 
$2,288,712 (or $0.06087 per Share). Dividends will be declared and paid in arrears. The amount and timing 
of  the  payment  of  any  dividends  are  not  guaranteed  and  are  subject  to  the  discretion  of  our  board  of 
directors. 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting 

In accordance with Item 4.3 of National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual 
and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”), the Company  will file an annual certificate in the Form 52-109F1  - 
IPO/RTO  relating  to its  AIF,  annual  financial statements  and  the  accompanying  notes  and this  MD&A 
because it is the first financial year that has ended after the Company became a reporting issuer. 

In particular, the certifying officers filing the certificate in the Form 52-109F1 - IPO/RTO required under 
NI 52-109 are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of: 

 

 

controls  and  other  procedures  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  information 
required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed 
or  submitted  under  securities  legislation  is  recorded,  processed,  summarized  and  reported 
within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and 

a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and 
the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  the 
Company’s GAAP.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of Andlauer Healthcare Group Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Andlauer Healthcare Group
Inc. (the “Entity”), which comprise:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

the consolidated  balance  sheets as  at  December  31,  2019  and  December  31,

and  notes  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of
significant accounting policies

(hereinafter referred to as the “financial statements”).

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material 
respects, the financial position of the Entity as at December 31, 2019 and December 
31,  2018,  and  its  financial  performance  and  its  cash  flows  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  

Basis for Opinion

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Canadian  generally  accepted  auditing 
standards.  Our  responsibilities  under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the 
“Auditors’  Responsibilities  for  the  Audit  of  the  Financial  Statements”  section  of  our 
auditors’ report. 

KPMG LLP is a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent 
member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.   
KPMG Canada provides services to KPMG LLP. 

We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are 
relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada and we have fulfilled our 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to 
provide a basis for our opinion. 

Emphasis of Matter — Basis of Presentation

We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements, which describes the basis of 
presentation,  including  the  approach  to  and  the  purpose  for preparing  the financial 
statements including the comparative information. 

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information.  Other information comprises:

(cid:120) the  information  included  in  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  filed  with  the

relevant Canadian Securities Commissions.

(cid:120) the information, other than the financial statements and the auditors’ report thereon,

included in a document likely to be entitled “Annual Report”.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we 
do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the 
other  information  identified  above  and,  in  doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other 
information is materially  inconsistent  with the financial statements or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit and remain alert for indications that the other information appears 
to be materially misstated.  

We obtained the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed 
with  the  relevant  Canadian  Securities  Commissions  as  at  the  date  of  this  auditors’ 
report.  If, based  on the  work that we have performed on  this  other information, we 
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required 
to report that fact in the auditors’ report.  

We have nothing to report in this regard.

The information, other than the financial statements and the auditors’ report thereon, 
included in a document likely to be entitled “Annual Report” is expected to be made 
available  to  us  after  the  date  of  this  auditors’  report.    If,  based  on  the  work  we  will 
perform on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of 
this  other  information,  we  are  required  to  report  that  fact  to  those  charged  with 
governance.

Responsibilities  of  Management  and  Those  Charged  with  Governance  for  the 
Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial 
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and 
for  such  internal  control  as  management  determines  is  necessary  to  enable  the 

preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether 
due to fraud or error.

In  preparing  the  financial  statements, management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the 
Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related 
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management 
either  intends  to  liquidate  the  Entity  or  to  cease  operations,  or  has  no  realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial 
reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial 
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. 

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit 
conducted  in  accordance  with  Canadian  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually 
or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the  economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  Canadian  generally  accepted  auditing 
standards,  we  exercise  professional  judgment  and  maintain  professional  skepticism 
throughout the audit. 

We also:
(cid:120)

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than
for  one  resulting  from  error,  as  fraud  may  involve  collusion,  forgery,  intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

(cid:120) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity's internal control.

(cid:120) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness

of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

(cid:120) Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis
of  accounting  and,  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material

uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the 
related  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements  or,  if  such  disclosures  are 
inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are  based  on  the  audit 
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or 
conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

(cid:120) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,
including  the  disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  statements  represent  the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

(cid:120) Communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  regarding,  among  other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,
including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.

(cid:120) Provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with
them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear
on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

(cid:120) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of
the  entities  or  business  activities  within  the  consolidated entity  to  express  an
opinion  on  the  financial  statements.    We  are  responsible  for  the  direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit.  We remain solely responsible for
our audit opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 
(In thousands of Canadian dollars, except shares, share price and earnings per share) 

1. Reporting entity

Andlauer  Healthcare  Group  Inc.  (“AHG”)  was  incorporated  under  the  Ontario  Business  Corporations  Act  on
November 12, 2019 with its head office located in Woodbridge, Ontario. AHG’s subordinate voting shares are
listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the stock symbol “AND”.  AHG specializes in third party logistics and
transportation solutions for the healthcare sector in Canada.

On December 4, 2019, AHG entered into an underwriting agreement and filed a long form prospectus for the
purpose of completing an initial public offering, which closed on December 11, 2019 (the ‘‘Closing’’). AHG raised
gross proceeds of $150,000 through the issuance of 10 million subordinate voting shares at a price of $15.00
per  subordinate  voting  share.  On  December  16,  2019,  a  further  1.5  million  subordinate  voting  shares  were
issued  at  a  price  of  $15.00  per  subordinate  voting  share  resulting  in  $22,500  of  additional  gross  proceeds
pursuant  to  the  exercise  of  an  over-allotment  option  in  the  underwriting  agreement.  Transaction  costs  of
$15,273 were incurred in connection with the initial public offering, of which $14,321 have been offset against
the proceeds of the subordinate voting shares, and $952 have been expensed in the period.

Andlauer  Management  Group  Inc.  (“AMG”)  holds  all  of  the  multiple  voting  shares  of  AHG  and  75,000
subordinate voting shares, representing approximately 67% of the issued and outstanding shares and 89% of
the  voting  power  attached  to  all  of  the  shares.  AMG  is  owned  and  controlled  by  Michael  Andlauer,  Chief
Executive Officer and a director of AHG.

2. Basis of presentation

a)

Statement of compliance

These  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  International  Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and using
the accounting policies described herein.

b) Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost
method. Significant accounting policies are presented in note 3 to these consolidated financial statements
and  have  been  consistently  applied  in  each  of  the  periods  presented.  These  consolidated  financial
statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors effective March 12, 2020.

These  financial  statements  comprise  the  consolidated  financial  results  of  AHG  and  Associated  Logistics
Solutions  Inc.,  Credo  Canada  Systems  Inc.,  2186940  Ontario  Inc.  and  their  respective  subsidiaries
(collectively,  the  “AHG  Entities”)  as  at  and  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  and  the  combined
financial results of the AHG Entities as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and up to the date of
the initial public offering (collectively the “Company”).

Common control transaction

In connection with a series of transactions that occurred prior to, and on, the date of Closing, AHG acquired
a 100% ownership interest in the AHG Entities in exchange for 25.1 million multiple voting shares valued at
$376,500,  1.0  million  subordinate  voting  shares  valued  at  $15,000  and  a  promissory  note  for  $186,125
which was settled with the proceeds of  the initial public offering and proceeds from the credit facilities
(note 11).

(In thousands of Canadian dollars, except shares, share price and earnings per share) 

2. Basis of presentation (continued)

Common control transaction (continued)

AHG’s  acquisition  of  the  AHG  Entities  is  a  business  combination  involving  entities  under  common  control  in
which all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by AMG, both before and after the reorganization
transactions were completed.   Business combinations involving entities under common control are outside the
scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations.  AHG accounted for this common control transaction using book value
accounting, based on the book values recognized in the financial statements of the underlying entities. This
election results in the financial statements being restated for periods prior to the date of obtaining common
control, to reflect the combination as if it had occurred from the beginning of the period that the entities were
under common control, regardless of the actual date the common control transaction closed.

(i) Total net parent investment

The comparative financial statements for 2018 have been prepared on a combined basis. Accordingly, it is
not meaningful to show share capital or provide an analysis of reserves. Therefore, amounts which reflect
the carrying value of investments in the combined entities are disclosed as “Total net parent investment”,
while carrying value of net assets attributable to shareholders other than the Company are presented as
“Non-controlling interests” (“NCI”). Since the Company was not an existing legal entity during 2018 and up
to December 10, 2019, the combined entities have no historical capital structure. Consequently, earnings
per share as required by IAS 33 Earnings per share has not been presented for 2018. The amounts reflected
in distributions and dividends in the consolidated  statements of changes in  equity refer to dividends or
distributions paid to the parent and dividends paid to NCI. Distributions and dividends of $112,016, net of
$9,379 of related income tax, were made to the parent in 2019.

(ii) Merger reserve

Pursuant to a share purchase agreement between AHG and its parent, and in connection with a corporate
reorganization immediately prior to the initial public offering, AHG acquired a 100% ownership interest in
the  AHG  Entities  based  on  the  value  of  consideration  of  $577,625.  Total  net  parent  investment  as  at
December  10,  2019  (immediately  prior  to  the  Closing)  was  $88,709.  A  merger  reserve  of  $488,916  is
recorded to reflect the difference in carrying value of the net assets acquired and the consideration paid
since AHG and the AHG Entities  were all related under the common control of AMG at the time of the
acquisition.

(iii) Employee trust

An  employee  trust  was  established  at  Closing,  the  beneficiaries  of  which  will  be  executive  officers  and
employees of the Company. AHG made a non-interest bearing loan of $13,875 to the employee trust which
the employee trust used to acquire 925,000 subordinate voting shares from AMG. As the subordinate voting 
shares are allocated and/or distributed to beneficiaries of the employee trust, contributions will be made
by the respective employer of any such beneficiary to the employee trust at $15.00 per subordinate voting
share and used by the employee trust to repay the non-interest bearing loan.

2. Basis of presentation (continued)

c) Basis of combination

(i) Business combinations

The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair
value  of  liabilities  resulting  from  contingent  consideration  arrangements,  less  the  net  recognized
amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at fair value as of the
acquisition date. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in
income or loss.

Transaction  costs,  other  than  those  associated  with  the  issue  of  debt  or  equity  securities,  that  the
Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

(ii) Subsidiaries

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries.  The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has the right to, variable returns 
from  its  involvement  with  the  entity  and  has  the  ability  to  affect  those  through  its  power  over  the
entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements
from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of
subsidiaries are aligned with the policies adopted by the Company.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries include:

Intercompany  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealized  income  and  expenses  arising  from
intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

d)

Functional and presentation currency

These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Canadian  dollars,  which  is  the  Company’s
functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest 
thousand.

2. Basis of presentation (continued)

e) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the 
underlying  assumptions  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,  the  disclosures  about
contingent  assets  and  liabilities,  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses.  Such  estimates
include the expected credit losses on accounts receivable, the useful life of long-lived assets, the Company’s 
incremental  borrowing  rate,  valuation  of  property,  plant  and  equipment,  valuation  of  goodwill  and
intangible assets, the measurement of identified assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations,
share-based  compensation  arrangements,  the  provision  for  income  taxes  and  other  provisions  and
contingencies.  These  estimates  and  assumptions  are  based  on  management’s  best  estimates  and
judgments.  Management  evaluates  its  estimates  and  assumptions  on  an  ongoing  basis  using  historical
experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to
be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts
and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in those estimates and
assumptions  resulting  from  changes  in  the  economic  environment  will  be  reflected  in  the  consolidated
financial statements of future periods. Information about critical judgments, assumptions and estimation
uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year
are included in the following notes:

Significant accounting policies

Foreign currency translation

Transactions  in  foreign  currencies  are  translated  to  the  respective  functional  currencies  of  each  entity  at
exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign
currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate in effect at the reporting date. The
foreign  currency  gain  or  loss  on  monetary  items  is  the  difference  between  amortized  cost  in  the  functional
currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the
amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the  exchange rate at the  end of the reporting period. Non-
monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated
at the rate in effect on the transaction date. Income and expense items denominated in foreign currency are
translated at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses are included in income or loss.

Revenue

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that 
reflects  the  consideration  the  Company  expects  to  be  entitled  to  receive  in  exchange  for  those  products  or
services.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A
contract’s  transaction  price  is  allocated  to  each  distinct  performance  obligation  and  recognized  as  revenue
when,  or  as,  the  performance  obligation  is  satisfied.  The  following  is  a  description  of  the  Company’s
performance obligations for the transportation and logistics reportable segments.

a)

Specialized Transportation

The  Company’s  transportation  segment  generates  revenue  from  providing  specialized  ground
transportation, air freight forwarding and dedicated and last mile transportation services for its customers.
Certain additional services may be provided to customers as part of their transportation contracts, such as
temperature  control  and  other  incidental  services.  The  transaction  price  is  based  on  the  consideration
specified in the customer’s contract. A contract exists when a customer under a transportation contract
submits  a  shipment  document  for  the  transport  of  goods  from  origin  to  destination.  The  performance
obligations  within  each  contract  are  satisfied  as  the  shipments  move  from  origin  to  destination.
Transportation revenue is recognized proportionally as a shipment moves from origin to destination and
the related costs are recognized as incurred. Performance obligations are short-term, with transit days less
than one week. Generally, customers are billed upon shipment of the freight, and remit payment according
to approved payment terms.

b) Healthcare Logistics

The Company’s healthcare logistics segment generates revenue from providing supply chain services for its
customers, including logistics and distribution services and packaging solutions.  The Company’s contracts
typically include a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time as customers simultaneously
receive and consume the benefits of the Company’s services. For this performance obligation, the Company 
recognizes revenue at the invoiced amount, which is billed on a fixed price per unit of logistics activities
provided in the month, since this amount corresponds directly to the Company’s performance and the value 
to the customer. In some cases, the Company’s contracts include other performance obligations related to
managing transportation and other customer services which are included in the logistics and distribution
product.  These services are typically priced at their stand-alone selling prices and are recognized over time
on  a  proportionate  and  straight-line  basis  as  the  customer  simultaneously  receives  and  consumes  the
benefits of the Company’s services.

(In thousands of Canadian dollars, except shares, share price and earnings per share) 

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue (continued)

b) Healthcare Logistics (continued)

In some cases, the contract will include optional services that are priced at their stand-alone selling prices.
These services are recognized as revenue when they are provided to the customer.

Customers are typically billed on a weekly basis for transactional transportation services, and on a monthly
basis  for  logistics  and  distribution  services,  and  remit  payment  according  to  approved  payment  terms.
Payment  terms  may  range  under  certain  contracts,  but  are  typically  30  days.  The  Company  recognizes
unbilled revenue for transportation service revenue that has been recognized, but is not yet billed.  The
Company will also recognize deferred revenue when customers are billed in advance for transportation and
logistics and distribution services.

Property, plant and equipment 

Property,  plant  and  equipment  is  accounted  for  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  accumulated 
impairment losses.  

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset, the costs of dismantling 
and removing the assets and restoring the site on which they are located and borrowing costs on qualifying 
assets. 

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as 
separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.  

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the 
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized in net 
income or loss. 

Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in income or loss over the 
estimated  useful  life  of  each  component  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment.  Leased  assets  are 
depreciated over the  shorter of the  lease term and their  useful  lives unless it is  reasonably certain that the 
Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.  

Depreciation is computed on either a declining balance basis or a straight-line basis over the estimated useful 
lives of the assets as follows: 

Asset 

Facilities  
Furniture and fixtures  
Leasehold improvements 

Logistics and transportation equipment 

Amortization Method 

Straight-line over the term of the lease 
20-30% declining balance
5-15 year straight-line subject to the shorter of remaining
lease term or useful life 
20-30% declining balance, except for storage vaults – which
are amortized straight line over 40 years 

Property, plant and equipment acquired or constructed during the year but not placed into use during the year 
are not amortized until put into use.

(In thousands of Canadian dollars, except shares, share price and earnings per share) 

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Goodwill and intangible assets

Recognition and measurement

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships and internally generated software.

For internally generated software, expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process 
is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to
and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized
in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost less
accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Customer relationships that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less
accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortization

Goodwill is not amortized.

Internally generated software is amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years. Internally generated software
acquired or constructed during the year but not placed into use during the year is not amortized until placed
into use.

Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of between 5 and
10 years.

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets other than inventoried supplies and deferred tax
assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any
such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For  goodwill,  the  recoverable  amount  is  estimated  on  December  31  of  each  year  as  part  of  the  annual
impairment test. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped
together  into  the  smallest  group  of  assets  that  generates  cash  inflows  from  continuing  use  that  are  largely
independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”, or “CGU”).

For the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the 
group of CGUs (usually an operating segment of the Company), that is expected to benefit from the synergies
of the combination. This allocation is subject to an operating segment ceiling test and reflects the lowest level
at which that goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU
is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash  flows  are  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that  reflects  current  market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or group of assets.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable
amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of
any goodwill allocated to the units, if any, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the
unit (group of units) on a prorated basis.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Goodwill and intangible assets (continued)

Impairment (continued)

An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  goodwill  is  not  reversed.  In  respect  of  other  assets,  impairment  losses
recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased
or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine 
the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if
no impairment loss had been recognized. Impairment losses and impairment reversals are recognized in income 
or loss.

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is, or
contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset, the Company assesses whether:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

The contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should 
be physically distinct or represents substantially all the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier
has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
The  Company  has  the  right  to  obtain  substantially  all  of  the  economic  benefits  from  use  of  the  asset
throughout the period of use; and
The  Company  has  the  right  to  direct  the  use  of  the  asset.  The  Company  has  the  right  when  it  has  the
decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In
rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the
Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

-
-

the Company has the right to operate the asset; or
the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be
used.

At  inception  or  on  reassessment  of  a  contract  that  contains  a  lease  component,  the  Company  allocates  the 
consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. For the 
leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected to account for the lease and non-
lease components separately. 

a)

For arrangements in which the Company is a lessee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted
for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred
and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset
or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The ROU asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date
to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term.  The estimated
useful  lives  of  ROU  assets  are  determined  by  the  estimated  lease  term.  In  addition,  the  ROU  asset  is
periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease
liability.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Leases (continued)

a)

For arrangements in which the Company is a lessee (continued)

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement  date,  discounted  using  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  the  lease  or,  if  that  rate  cannot  be
readily  determined,  the  Company’s  incremental  borrowing  rate.  Generally,  the  Company  uses  its
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

(cid:120)
(cid:120)

(cid:120)
(cid:120)

fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or
rate as at the commencement date;
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise,
lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an
extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably
certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is re-measured when 
there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in 
the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the 
Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. 

When the lease liability is re-measured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying 
amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use 
asset has been reduced to zero. 

b)

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of
machinery  that  have  a  lease  term  of  12  months  or  less  and  leases  of  low-value  assets,  including  IT
equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.

c)

For arrangements in which the Company is a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease
or an operating lease.

To  classify  each  lease,  the  Company  makes  an  overall  assessment  of  whether  the  lease  transfers
substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case,
then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company
considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the
consideration in the contract.

The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight line basis 
over the lease term as part of ‘other income’.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in income
or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in
other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous 
years.

Deferred  tax  is  recognized  in  respect  of  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and
liabilities  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and  the  amounts  used  for  taxation  purposes.  Deferred  tax  is  not
recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction
that  is  not  a  business  combination  and  that  affects  neither  accounting  nor  taxable  income  or  loss,  and
differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable
that  they  will  not  reverse  in  the  foreseeable  future.  In  addition,  deferred  tax  is  not  recognized  for  taxable
temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates
that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a
legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the
same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax
liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to
the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be utilized.
Deferred  tax  assets  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and  are  reduced  to  the  extent  that  it  is  no  longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Accounts receivable are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial
liabilities  are  initially  recognized  when  the  Company  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual  provisions  of  the
instrument.

A  financial  asset  (unless  it  is  an  account  receivable  without  a  significant  financing  component)  or  financial
liability  is  initially  measured  at  fair  value  plus,  for  an  item  not  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  (FVTPL),
transaction  costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  its  acquisition  or  issue.  An  account  receivable  without  a
significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

The  Company’s  financial  assets  are  comprised  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  due  from
related parties, and long-term deposits.  On initial recognition, the Company classifies these financial assets as
measured at amortized cost, when both of the following conditions are met:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows;
and
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

These financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The
amortized  cost  is  reduced  by  impairment  losses.  Interest  income,  foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  and
impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets
are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that
occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment
have been decreased.

For  accounts  receivables,  the  Company  applies  a  simplified  approach  in  calculating  expected  credit  losses
(“ECLs”).  Therefore the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance
based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.  The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on
its  historical  credit  loss  experience,  adjusted  for  forward-looking  factors  specific  to  the  debtors  and  the
economic environment.

When  an  account  receivable  is  considered  uncollectible,  it  is  written  off  against  the  allowance  account.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are offset against the allowance account. Changes in
the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified at amortized cost

The Company’s financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest
expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition
is also recognized in profit or loss.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs that are incremental and directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset of
financial liability are recorded as follows:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

Financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss – expensed to net income as
incurred;
Financial assets or liabilities recorded at amortized cost – included in the carrying value of the financial
asset or financial liability and amortized over the expected life of the financial instrument using the
effective interest method; and
Equity instruments recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income – included in the initial
cost of the underlying asset.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Inventories

Inventories,  which  consist  of  repair  parts,  materials  and  supplies,  are  carried  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net
realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis and includes all costs of purchase and any other
costs  incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation 
that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the 
expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money 
and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the unwinding of the discount is recognized as
finance cost.

Segmented reporting

The Company is organized into two reportable segments: Specialized Transportation and Healthcare Logistics.
In the Specialized Transportation segment, the Company provides specialized temperature controlled services
to healthcare customers. The Company’s transportation products include:  ground transportation (comprising
less-than-truckload and courier services), air freight forwarding, and dedicated and last mile delivery.

In the Healthcare Logistics segment, the Company provides contract logistics services for customers, including
logistics  and  distribution  (comprising  warehousing  and  inventory  management,  order  fulfillment,  reverse
logistics,  and  transportation management),  and  packaging  (comprising  reusable  thermal  packaging  solutions
and trade customization services).

Certain of the Company’s operating units provide services to other Company operating units outside of their
reportable segment. Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates, which approximates fair value, and 
are reflected as revenues of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market
conditions. Such intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated results.
The Company’s chief executive officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the Company. The
CODM regularly reviews financial information at the reporting segment level in order to make decisions about
resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. Segment results that are reported
to  the  CODM  include  items  directly  attributable  to  a  segment,  as  well  as  those  that  can  be  allocated  on  a
reasonable  basis.  The  Company  evaluates  performance  based  on  the  various  financial  measures  of  its  two
reporting segments.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Share-based compensation

The  Company  has  an  omnibus  stock  option  plan  and  records  all  stock-based  payments,  including  grants  of
employee stock options, at their respective fair values. The fair value of stock options granted to employees and 
directors is estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes 
share-based  compensation  expense  over  the  vesting  period,  over  the  life  of  the  tranche  of  shares  being
considered. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises its estimate, if necessary,
in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from these estimates. Any consideration paid by employees on
exercising  stock  options  and  the  corresponding  portion  previously  credited  to  additional  paid-in  capital  are
credited to share capital. The Company’s stock option plan is equity-settled.

The  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  used  by  the  Company  to  calculate  option  values  was  developed  to
estimate the fair value. This model also requires assumptions, including expected option life, volatility, risk-free
interest rate and dividend yield, which greatly affect the calculated values.

Expected  option  life  is  determined  using  the  time-to-vest-plus-historical-calculation-from-vest-date  method
that derives the expected life based on a combination of each tranche’s time to vest plus the actual or expected
life  of  an  award  based  on  the  past  activity  or  remaining  time  to  expiry  on  outstanding  awards.  Expected
forfeiture is derived from historical patterns. Expected volatility is determined using comparable companies for
which the information is publicly available, adjusted for factors such as industry, stage of life cycle, size and
financial  leverage.  The  risk-free  interest  rate  is  determined  based  on  the  rate  at  the  time  of  grant  and
cancellation for zero-coupon Canadian government securities with a remaining term equal to the expected life
of the option. Dividend yield is based on the stock option’s exercise price and expected annual dividend rate at
the time of grant.

Forthcoming standards

Certain  new  accounting  standards  and  interpretations  have  been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for
December  31,  2019  reporting  periods  and  have  not  been  early  adopted  by  the  Company.  The  Company’s
assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:

(a) Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations – Change in definition of business

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations that seek to clarify whether
a transaction results in an asset or a business acquisition.

The amendments include an election to use a concentration test. This is a simplified assessment that results 
in an asset acquisition if substantially all of the fair value  of the gross assets is concentrated in a single
identifiable  asset  or  a  group  of  similar  identifiable  assets.  If  a  preparer  chooses  not  to  apply  the
concentration  test,  or  the  test  is  failed,  then  the  assessment  focuses  on  the  existence  of  a  substantive
process.

The amendment applies to businesses acquired in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January
1,  2020.  Earlier  application  is  permitted.  The  application  of  this  amendment  is  not  expected  to  have  a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(b) Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 - Definition of ‘Material’

In  October  2018,  the  IASB  refined  its  definition  of  material  to  make  it  easier  to  understand.  In  the
amendment, IASB promoted the concept of ‘obscuring’ to the definition, alongside the existing references
to ‘omitting’ and ‘misstating’. Additionally, the IASB increased the threshold of ‘could influence’ to ‘could
reasonably  be  expected  to  influence’.  The  amendments  are  effective  from  January  1,  2020  but  may  be
applied  earlier.  The  application  of  this  amendment  is  not  expected  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the
consolidated financial statements.

4. Segment reporting

The  Company is organized into two operating  segments,  which it  also considers to be reportable  segments:
Specialized  Transportation and Healthcare Logistics.  The operating segments are  managed independently as
they require different technology and capital resources. For each of the operating segments, the Company’s
CODM reviews internal management reports, evaluating the metrics as summarized in the tables below.

The Company evaluates performance based on the various financial measures of its two operating segments.
Performance is measured based on segment income or loss before tax. This measure is included in the internal
management reports that are reviewed by the Company’s CEO and refers to “Income before income taxes” in
the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Segment income or loss before tax is used
to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the
results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within the same industries. The following table

The Company performs annual goodwill impairment testing for the Healthcare Logistics segment. The Company 
assesses goodwill at the operating segment level, which is the lowest level within the Company at which the 
goodwill  is  monitored  for  internal  management  purposes.  The  results  of  the  annual  impairment  testing 
determined that the recoverable amount of the Healthcare Logistics operating segment exceeded the respective 
carrying amount. The recoverable amount of the Healthcare Logistics operating segment was determined using 
the value in use approach. The value in use methodology is based on discounted future cash flows. Management 
believes  that  the  discounted future  cash  flows  method  is  appropriate  as  it  allows  more  precise  valuation  of 
specific future cash flows. Therefore, the Company has determined that no impairment has arisen in connection 
with the CGU that gave rise to goodwill through the business combination. Accordingly, no impairment loss has 
been recognized in each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. 

The majority of the customer relationships and proprietary technology reflects intangible assets that arose from 
a business combination in 2008 of the Specialized Transportation segment and the subsequent disposal of a 
portion of those operations in 2009.  As at November 1, 2009, customer relationships intangibles of $21,801 
were recognized with straight-line amortization over 10 years.  

The Company performs an assessment for indicators of impairment for customer relationships and software at 
each reporting period. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company would perform an impairment test to 
determine the recoverable amount. No such indicators of impairment were identified at any of the reporting 
periods covered by these financial statements.

11. Credit facilities (continued)

On December 11, 2019 the Company entered into credit facilities with affiliates of RBC and CIBC at Closing of
the  initial  public  offering.  The  credit  facilities  comprise  a  revolving  credit  facility  in  the  aggregate  principal
amount of $75,000 and a term facility in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000. The credit facilities are
available to be drawn in Canadian dollars by way of prime rate loans, bankers’ acceptances and letters of credit,
and in U.S. dollars by way of base rate loans, LIBOR based loans and letters of credit, in each case, plus the
applicable margin in effect from time to time. At December 31, 2019, both the revolving credit facility and the
term facility comprise prime rate loans at an interest rate of 4.4%.

The credit facilities are guaranteed by each of the Company’s material subsidiaries and are secured by (i) a first
priority lien over all personal property of the Company, subject to certain exclusions and permitted liens, (ii)
charges  over  certain  material  leased  real  property  interests,  and  (iii)  a  first  ranking  pledge  of  100%  of  the
securities of any subsidiary owned by the Company.

The credit facilities are subject to customary negative covenants and include financial covenants requiring the
Company to maintain at all times a maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, tested
on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 2019, the Company is in compliance with all of its covenants under the
credit facilities.

The credit facilities will mature and be due and payable on December 11, 2023.

Amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in connection with
interest expense for the credit facilities in 2019 was $68 (2018 – $nil).

12. Financial instruments and financial risk management

Accounting classifications and fair values

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, and
accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities.  The  Company  believes  that  the  carrying  amount  of  each  of  these
items is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Financial risk factors

The Company, through its financial assets and liabilities, has exposure to the following risks from its use of
financial  instruments:  credit  risk,  liquidity  risk,  interest  rate  risk,  and  currency  risk.  Senior  management
monitors risk levels and reviews risk management activities as they determine to be necessary.

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties in connection with
its  financial  assets,  namely  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable  and  long-term  deposits.  The
Company does not typically obtain collateral or other security to support the accounts receivable subject to
credit risk but mitigates this risk by performing credit check procedures for new customers and monitoring
credit limits for existing customers. Thereby, the Company deals only with what management believes to be
financially sound counterparties and, accordingly, does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance.

The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  for  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable  and  long-term
deposits approximate the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with 
its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to 
managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when 
they  are  due,  under  both normal  and  stressed  conditions,  without  incurring unacceptable  losses  or  risking 
damage to the Company’s reputation.  

The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the collection of accounts receivable, or raising of 
funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The Company controls liquidity risk by management of 
working capital, cash flows and the availability of borrowing facilities. 

As  of  December  31,  2019,  $3,929  (2018  -  $nil)  has  been  drawn  on  the  $75,000  revolving  credit  facility,  and 
$25,000 (2018 - $nil) has been drawn on the $25,000 term facility. There is no amortization of the term facility. 
The credit facilities are repayable in full on December 31, 2023. 

The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due and payable in the short-term. 

Interest rate risk 

The  Company  has  a  revolving  and  term  credit  facilities  that  bear  interest  at  a  floating  rate  subject  to 
fluctuations in the bank prime rate. Changes in the bank prime lending rate can cause fluctuations in interest 
payments and cash flows. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate the effect of 
this risk. The facilities under this agreement bear interest at prime plus 0.45% per annum. At December 31, 
2019, the interest rate was 4.4%. 

Due to timing at which the Company entered into the credit facilities in relation to its year end, there has been 
no exposure to significant interest rate fluctuations.

12. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)

Currency risk

The Company enters into foreign currency purchase and sale transactions and has assets and liabilities that
are denominated in foreign currencies and thus are exposed to the financial risk of earnings fluctuations arising
from changes in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company does not
currently use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

At year-end, the Company has the following US dollar foreign currency denominated balances:

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of subordinate voting shares, an unlimited number
of multiple voting shares, and an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series. The subordinate
voting shares and multiple voting shares rank pari passu with respect to the payment of dividends, return of
capital and distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or wind-up. Holders of multiple voting
shares  are  entitled  to  four  votes  per  multiple  voting  share,  and  holders  of  subordinate  voting  shares  are
entitled to one vote per subordinate voting share on all matters upon which holders of shares are entitled to
vote.

All  of  the  multiple  voting  shares  and  75  thousand  subordinate  voting  shares  are  owned  by  the  Company’s

15. Share-based payment arrangements

Stock option plan (equity-settled)
The Company offers a stock option plan for the benefit of certain of its employees. Each stock option entitles its
holder to receive one  subordinate voting common share upon exercise.  The  exercise price payable for each
option is determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant. The options vest in equal installments over
four years and the expense is recognized following the accelerated method as each installment is fair valued
separately and recorded over the respective vesting periods.

On  December  11,  2019  the  Board  of  Directors  approved  a  grant  of  1,650  thousand  options.  Of  the  options
outstanding at December 31, 2019, a total of 700 thousand are held by non-executive directors; 400 thousand
are held by executive officers; with the remaining 550 thousand held by key management personnel.

The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using
the following weighted average assumptions:

Exercise price 
Average expected option life 
Risk-free interest rate 
Expected stock price volatility 
Average dividend yield 
Weighted average fair value per option of options granted

16. Revenue

A. Revenue streams

The Company generates revenue primarily from the provision of supply chain transportation and logistics
services  to  its  customers.  The  Company’s  contracts  are  typically  satisfied  over  a  short  period  of  time.
Consequently, the Company applies the practical expedient and does not disclose information related to its 
remaining performance obligations.

B. Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers

In  the  following  table,  revenue  from  contracts  with  customers  is  disaggregated  by  major  products  and
service  lines.  The  table  also  includes  a  reconciliation  of  the  disaggregated  revenue  with  the  Company’s
reportable segments (note 4).

At  the  end  of  a  reporting  period,  the  Company  recognizes  unbilled  revenue  where  revenue  has  been
recognized but for which an invoice has not yet been issued. These amounts are disclosed in note 12. The
Company’s unbilled revenue has increased from 2018 to 2019 throughout the period consistently with the
annual growth in revenue.

The  Company  bills  customers  for  transportation  services  based  on  the  pick-up  date.  When  shipments
remain in transit at the end of a period, the Company defers revenue until the shipments are delivered. The
Company does not regularly bill customers in advance for logistics and distribution services. Consequently,
fluctuations  in  deferred  revenue  will  occur  year  over  year  and  will  depend  on  specifically  negotiated
payment terms resulting from customer billing requests  or concerns related to credit risk.  To date, the
changes in deferred revenue (note 10) have been largely insignificant. Revenue recognized in 2019 of $647
(2018 – $681) was included in the opening deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year.

18. Leases

The Company leases buildings and equipment in the operation of its Transportation and Logistics businesses.
The Company estimated its incremental borrowing rates for portfolios of leases with similar characteristics, such 
as similar risk profiles, same or similar types of security, and similar lease terms. Building lease terms range from 
5 to 10 years. Facilities lease liabilities are calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on
the  specific  lease  commitments  and  term  for  each  facility.  The  average  incremental  borrowing  rate  for  all
facilities in 2019 is 3.75% (2018 – 3.69%). Equipment lease terms range  from  1 to 5 years. Equipment lease
liabilities are calculated using the operating segment’s average incremental borrowing rate on an equipment
lease portfolio basis for that year. The average incremental borrowing rate for equipment in 2019 is 4.07% for
Specialized Transportation and 3.95% for Healthcare Logistics (2018 – 4.66% Specialized Transportation, 4.37%
Healthcare Logistics).

22. Capital management

The  Company’s  policy  is  to  maintain  a  strong  capital  base  so  as  to  maintain  investor,  creditor  and  market
confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital, as
well as the level of dividends and distributions to ordinary shareholders.

The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible  with
higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. The Company
monitors capital using a net leverage ratio, calculated as net debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Company seeks to keep its net leverage ratio below 3.0 in the
ordinary course of business.
