Dear Shareholders,
It is a privilege to write to you for the first time as Chairman of Canadian Tire Corporation’s (CTC) Board of Directors.
I was fortunate to be appointed Chairman during such a pivotal year in CTC’s history: the hundredth birthday of
Canadian Tire Retail. The year 2022 saw many significant initiatives befitting such a milestone, including the launch
of the Company’s evolved Brand Purpose, Core Values, Better Connected strategy, and $3.4 billion of strategic
investments to deliver an improved omnichannel customer experience.
I am excited to chair the Board of Directors of this iconic Canadian Company as it embarks on its next 100 years. Our
founders’ enduring commitment to innovation, resilience, and our country empowers us to continue fulfilling our Brand
Purpose that We Are Here to Make Life in Canada Better. The Billes family’s legacy and that of CTC are intertwined;
I thank Martha Billes for her continued commitment to this Company, Canada, and its communities, and congratulate
her on her well-deserved investiture as an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2022. I also want to express my gratitude
to Owen Billes, whose unwavering dedication to this great Company is matched only by his devotion to its customers.
As we move forward, we are mindful of our responsibility to steward the legacy that has been entrusted to us. My top
priorities as Chairman include establishing and maintaining strong governance practices and ensuring an overarching
organizational commitment to creating long-term value for our shareholders and other key stakeholders. This requires
the Board to operate as an effective, high-performing, and collaborative team that fosters productive working
relationships with senior management. Aligned to a shared culture and values and with a determination bolstered by
our past, we will continue to work together to fulfill our Brand Purpose and execute our strategy. I am ever impressed by
our directors’ acumen, adaptability, and cohesion, and I thank them for consistently going above and beyond to support
CTC’s management and the effective governance of the Company.
In addition to its many milestones, 2022 was yet another year marked by volatility and economic uncertainty, which
required us to remain agile in our thinking and informed in our views. In this new environment, insight is as important
as oversight. Our Board has taken the opportunity to reflect on our governance priorities and further improve how we
P . 0 1
C A N A D I A N T I R E C O R P O R A T I O N
fulfill our responsibilities of monitoring the business’s performance and execution of an approved strategy while also
providing oversight on risk management and mitigation. We have prioritized the top risks to the business to ensure they
receive timely attention from the Board. We have collaborated with Greg Hicks and his leadership team to develop a
performance dashboard to effectively monitor progress on our strategy. Additionally, we continue to work closely with
the management team as they consider strategic choices to optimize long-term value, leveraging the Board’s diversity
of experience to provide critical insight. The Board is also committed to overseeing CTC’s Environmental, Social and
Governance initiatives and ensuring that our Board is diverse and equipped with the necessary skills to support the
Company’s long-term growth and success.
To that end, during the past year, we remained focused on Board renewal, including formalizing a skills matrix and
implementing a purposeful planning process to accelerate the diversity of thought around our table. Since our 2022
Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we appointed Christine Rupp to our Board and are pleased to propose Cathryn
Cranston and Lyne Castonguay for election at this year’s meeting. Our new members further enhance the skills,
experience, and diversity of our Board, and we are confident they will bring fresh perspectives and valuable expertise.
I commend our management team for their progress against the Better Connected strategy to enhance customer
experience and invest in communities across Canada. As a Board, we are confident in and committed to overseeing
this strategy. We believe it is the catalyst for the Company’s growth in the years to come.
None of CTC’s accomplishments would be possible without the hard work and dedication of two critical stakeholder
groups, our team members and Canadian Tire Associate Dealers. Thank you for your partnership, contributions, and
commitment to quality, value, and embodying our Brand Purpose. Together this business works better.
Finally, I want to extend my sincere thanks to you, our shareholders, for your continued trust and support. We are
committed to delivering long-term shareholder value and we will work tirelessly to ensure that Canadian Tire remains
a leader in the retail industry and an important contributor to the Canadian economy.
We look forward to your participation at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Sincerely,
J. Michael Owens
CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION

To our valued Shareholders,
The year 2022 was one to remember. We emerged from the pandemic and celebrated the hundredth birthday of
our flagship banner, Canadian Tire Retail, a milestone that gave us the opportunity to reflect on our remarkable past.
Canadian Tire Corporation (CTC) is the successful, trusted, and resilient company it is today because of those who came
before us, most notably the Billes family. Their innovative and entrepreneurial spirit fostered the foundation upon which
we are building our future – a future that is better for our customers, employees, communities, and you: our shareholders.
With an evolved Brand Purpose – We Are Here to Make Life in Canada Better – clear Core Values and an ambitious Better
Connected strategy for growth, we are well positioned to achieve our collective ambition and not simply compete but
win in the world of retail.
In 2022, we achieved a normalized diluted EPS of $18.75, barely shy of 2021’s record. This was a great finish to our
centennial year and a testament to our teams’ ability to manage well through a dynamic economic environment that
included elevated supply chain and product costs and an increase in foreign exchange. By further strengthening our
connection to Canadians through our Triangle Rewards Loyalty Program and credit card, loyalty sales outpaced retail
sales and loyalty penetration increased to approximately 60%. Moreover, we successfully delivered our stated goal of
more than $300 million in operating efficiencies and renewed our share buyback program with the intention to repurchase
between $500 million and $700 million by the end of 2023. As pleased as I am with what we achieved in 2022, I am even
more pleased with how we achieved it, and I want to thank our tens of thousands of team members who, guided by our
Brand Purpose and Core Values, remain committed to our strategy.
Since we announced our Better Connected strategy at our March 2022 Investor Day, we have made considerable
progress against its pillars – and Canadians are already experiencing the benefits. We doubled down on our Triangle
Rewards Loyalty Program through personalized offers that provide real value to our customers and drive sales growth.
Through our successful beta test of Triangle Select in 2022, we learned that our subscription model drives significantly
more spend and banner cross-shop while providing incredible value to our customers. With our full launch of Triangle
Select in 2023, we are excited for more Canadians to benefit from this program. We also continued to improve our
omnichannel experience, from refreshing, expanding, or replacing 36 Canadian Tire Retail stores in 2022 to rolling out
P . 0 3
C A N A D I A N T I R E C O R P O R A T I O N
in-store technology and launching One Digital Platform, our new digital infrastructure that will bring our major banners
together on a single, modern, cloud-based platform, allowing us to scale for the future.
CTC has long been more than just tires, and through our Better Connected strategy, we are committed to designing and
delivering world-class products our customers want and need. In 2022, we grew the breadth of our assortment, including
expanding our ProSeries Owned Brand and the range of products available from our innovative IceFX brand. We launched
Forward With Design, a new brand that was years in the making. We also welcomed new collaborations across our Owned
Brands portfolio, including Drake’s OVO and Disney with Sherwood, Jillian Harris with Canvas, and Puma and Land Rover
with Helly Hansen.
At the same time, we know that making life in Canada better is about more than the products we sell and the services
we provide. It also means supporting our communities and considering how our decisions today impact our world of
tomorrow. In 2022, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities continued to make life in Canada better for kids and families,
achieving a significant milestone – three million kids helped – and opening three inclusive playgrounds, four multi-sport
courts, and one splash pad, bringing the total to 41 inclusive play spaces built since 2017. We also published our inaugural
Environmental, Social and Governance Report and Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Year in Review; if you have not yet
had a chance to read these reports, I encourage you to do so to learn more about our progress to date and work ahead
on these two critical journeys. We stepped up during crises, including making the difficult but correct decision to exit
our Helly Hansen operations in Russia when Russia invaded Ukraine. We donated more than $1.4 million to the Red Cross
Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal and, closer to home, provided $500,000 in essentials for Ukrainian newcomers and
hosted a job fair to help them secure employment. When Hurricane Fiona hit, we donated $400,000 to the relief efforts
and supported the distribution of 20,000 wellness and personal care items to local organizations in need.
As we look ahead to 2023, we know we will continue to navigate a challenging macro environment and are ready to face
that head-on. For more than a century, we have seen and overcome our share of turbulent times, and today, we are better
prepared and stronger than ever. We are an iconic, resilient, and trusted customer-centric Canadian retailer with room to
grow. While we are operating in a more challenging short-term environment due to current macroeconomic factors, our
Better Connected strategy provides us with a clear roadmap for investment to bolster our omnichannel capabilities and
drive long-term growth. We have a robust and mutually reinforcing platform of retail banners, brands, and financial services
supported by our digital capabilities and vast real estate footprint. All of this, combined with our unparalleled positioning in
the Canadian consumer landscape and deep understanding of Canadians, is our unrivalled competitive advantage.
Finally, we remain steadfast in our disciplined approach to capital stewardship, which includes returning capital to you: our
valued shareholders. In 2022, our progress ultimately benefitted you through our thirteenth consecutive dividend increase.
Thank you for your continued trust in and commitment to us. I also want to thank our Chairman of the Board, Mike Owens,
and our Board of Directors for their unwavering support and guidance. And thank you to Martha Billes for her vision, business
acumen and determination, and Owen Billes for continuing the Billes family legacy of striving always to make things
better. You have both been instrumental in establishing CTC as the successful retailer and prominent brand it is today.
CTC is a company Canadians know and trust, and we take this very seriously. We have built a powerful emotional connection
with Canadians – an emotional connection we will continue to grow, protect, and reinforce by striving always to make life
in Canada better.
Best,
Greg Hicks
PRESIDENT AND CEO, CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION

tires at no cost or replace

This was the first time that a
Canadian company offered
a guarantee on tires for
anything other than

The guarantee became
hugely popular
among customers.
1922
With their combined savings
of $1,800, brothers John W.
and Alfred J. Billes
purchased the Hamilton
Tire and Garage Ltd. at
the corner of Gerrard and
Hamilton streets in Toronto.
Five years later, in 1927,
Canadian Tire Corporation
was officially incorporated.
1926
Canadian Tire began sending
free road maps to current and
potential customers with a one-
page price list on the reverse,
leading to an influx of orders for
tires and a growing product
catalogue. The booming
mail-order business caught
the attention of aspiring
entrepreneurs who saw an
opportunity to sell products
more efficiently in their retail
stores. This marked the
beginning of Canadian Tire’s
network of Associate Dealers.
From its origins as a single auto garage to
a national chain of over 1,700 retail stores
and gas outlets, Canadian Tire Corporation
(CTC) has proudly served customers
across Canada for 100 years. As it grew,
CTC was consistently at the forefront
of retail innovation, with products and
services designed to make life better for
customers from coast to coast. These ten
pivotal moments show how CTC innovated
through a century in business.

1926
Canadian Tire began sending
free road maps to current and
potential customers with a one-
page price list on the reverse,
leading to an influx of orders for
tires and a growing product
catalogue. The booming
mail-order business caught
the attention of aspiring
entrepreneurs who saw an
opportunity to sell products
more efficiently in their retail
stores. This marked the
beginning of Canadian Tire’s
network of Associate Dealers.

1.2 Forward-Looking Information
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains information that may constitute forward-looking
information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information provides insights
regarding management’s current expectations and plans, and allows investors and others to better understand the
Company’s anticipated financial position, results of operations and operating environment. Readers are cautioned
that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although the Company believes that the forward-
looking information in this MD&A is based on information, assumptions and beliefs that are current, reasonable,
and complete, such information is necessarily subject to a number of business, economic, competitive and other
risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations and plans as set
forth in such forward-looking information. The Company cannot provide assurance that any financial or
operational performance, plans, or aspirations forecast will actually be achieved or, if achieved, will result in an
increase in the Company’s share price. Refer to section 14.0 in this MD&A for a more detailed discussion of the
Company’s use of forward-looking information.
1.3 Review and Approval by the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its Audit Committee, approved the contents of this MD&A on
February 15, 2023.
1.4 Quarterly and Annual Comparisons in the MD&A
Unless otherwise indicated, all comparisons of results for Q4 2022 (13 weeks ended December 31, 2022) are
compared against results for Q4 2021 (13 weeks ended January 1, 2022) and all comparisons of results for the
full-year 2022 (52 weeks ended December 31, 2022) are compared against results for the full-year 2021 (52
weeks ended January 1, 2022).
1.5 Accounting Framework
The annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), also referred to as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), using the
accounting policies described in Note 3 of the annual consolidated financial statements.
1.6 Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements that conforms to IFRS requires Management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Refer to section 9.1 in this MD&A for further information.
1.7 Key Performance Measures
The Company uses certain key performance measures, which provide useful information to both Management
and investors in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Company. These measures
are classified as GAAP measures, non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, capital management
measures and supplementary financial measures, as well as non-financial measures. Readers are cautioned that
the non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meanings under IFRS and, therefore, may not be
comparable to similar terms used by other companies. Refer to section 10.0 for additional information on these
metrics. Many of the non-GAAP financial measures in this document are adjusted to normalize the results for
certain activities Management does not believe reflect the ongoing business. Unless otherwise noted, analysis of
changes in normalized results applies equally to changes in the reported results.

4.0 Strategy and Four-Year (2022 to 2025) Financial Aspirations
The following represents forward-looking information and readers are cautioned that actual results may vary.
In the Company’s press release issued in conjunction with its Investor Day held on March 10, 2022, CTC
announced the Better Connected strategy to bolster its omnichannel capabilities and drive long-term growth.
The Company’s strategic growth plan builds on the Company's unparalleled brand trust and brand purpose: to
Make Life in Canada Better. The focus on investing in the business is coupled with a balanced approach to
dividends and share buybacks which positions CTC to continue to generate attractive returns to shareholders.
A key part of the Company’s strategy and an underpinning for growth will be growing its differentiated and
innovative Owned Brands portfolio and increasing customer engagement with the Triangle Rewards program.
The $3.4 billion of strategic investments, announced in conjunction with the strategy, will create better customer
experiences and deeper customer connections.
These investments are being allocated to:
•
Enhancing the omnichannel customer experience by better connecting digital and physical channels and
rolling out a new "Concept Connect" to approximately 225 Canadian Tire stores;
•
Strengthening supply chain fulfillment infrastructure and automation; and
• Modernizing IT infrastructure and driving efficiency in how CTC operates.
In conjunction with the announcement of its strategic plan, CTC also established the following financial aspirations
for fiscal years 2022 to 2025.

10.1 of this MD&A.
During 2022, the Company:
•
Invested $748 million in operating capital expenditures. Investments continue to be aimed at delivering a
better omnichannel customer experience, with 36 stores updated during 2022, including the first two
Remarkable Retail stores opened in Ottawa and in the Niagara region (Welland), and pickup lockers now
rolled out to 80 percent of Canadian Tire stores;
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 7
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
•
•
Increased its annual dividend for the 13th consecutive year, to $6.90 per share, a cumulative quarterly
dividend increase of 33 percent since last year as a result of dividend increases approved on May 12,
2022 and November 9, 2022; and
Completed the previously announced $400 million share repurchase commitment and announced a new
share repurchase program to purchase between $500 to $700 million Class A Non-Voting Shares by the
end of 2023.
The Company’s strategic framework for investment remains intact and it continues to focus on the priorities
discussed at its Investor Day in March 2022. However, the Company is now operating in a more challenging
environment in 2023 than expected when the Better Connected strategy was launched. If market forecasts prove
accurate and the impact of interest rate increases and ongoing inflationary pressure continue to affect consumer
demand and spending patterns, then many of the assumptions that underpin the financial aspirations could be
challenged. While the Company remains committed to achieving its financial aspirations outlined at Investor Day,
by continuing to invest in its building blocks for the longer term, the pacing will be different than originally planned.
The Operational Efficiency program originally announced in 2019 is now delivering $300+ million of annual
savings, which will help support solid margins at the operating level. The Company will maintain operational
discipline and continued focus on driving further efficiencies in the business to offset supply chain costs, which are
expected to remain elevated in 2023. As envisaged as part of the Better Connected strategy, the Company’s
investments in business enablers, fulfilment infrastructure and the omni-channel customer experience will include
IT and digital investments which will contribute to improved efficiencies in the business and real estate
investments to expand and intensify square footage.

A discussion of the underlying material assumptions and risks that might impact the achievement of the financial
aspirations are outlined below. In addition, achievement of the aspirations may be impacted by the risks identified
in section 11.0 and risks and assumptions identified in section 14.0 of this MD&A.

Material assumptions:
• Each individual business unit contributes positively to Consolidated Comparable Sales Growth
• Incremental sales growth generated from real estate investments
• Positive sales contribution from the continued focus and strategic investment in retail categories, assortment architecture
and the omnichannel experience
• Continued engagement by customers in the Triangle Rewards program and personalized 1:1 offerings
Material risks:
• Decline in economic growth, consumer confidence, household spending and other market disruptions; potential recession
• The occurrence of widespread economic restrictions, construction limitations or supply chain delays due to, among other
events, a global pandemic resurgence
• Pricing pressure driven by growing competition from new and existing market players
• Accelerated disruption from eCommerce competitors
• Significant change in the retail landscape
(cid:23)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:17)(cid:21)(cid:3)(cid:39)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:40)(cid:51)(cid:54)(cid:3)
Material assumptions:
• Realization of the Consolidated Comparable Sales Growth aspiration
• No major changes to retail gross margin rates
• Maintain selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) discipline by institutionalizing the Operational Efficiency
program
• Positive contribution to earnings by the Financial Services segment from growth of first use accounts, and gross average
accounts receivable (“GAAR”)
• No major changes to the Company’s financial leverage and capital allocation approach
• Active repurchase of shares under the Company’s normal course issuer bid
Material risks:
• Risks associated with the Consolidated Comparable Sales Growth aspiration described above
• Lower or lesser contribution from Operational Efficiency initiatives
• Increased costs relating to global sourcing impacting the Company’s ability to manage operating and/or supply chain costs
• Adverse economic or regulatory conditions which negatively impact GAAR growth and increases volatility of the
impairment allowance for credit card receivables

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company achieved its $100 million target in additional annualized program
run-rate savings. A total of $300+ million of annualized run-rate savings have been achieved since launching the
program in the fall of 2019. The Company continues to invest in efficiencies as part of its Better Connected
strategy, as outlined above.

The results of operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 include costs relating to the Company’s Operational
Efficiency program which were considered as normalizing items. During the quarter, non-recurring costs relating
to consulting and ongoing projects were $19.6 million. These costs are included in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
In addition, the Company recognized a $36.5 million non-recurring charge in other expense (income) during the
second quarter of 2022 related to the exit of Helly Hansen operations in Russia which has been classified as a
normalizing item.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Consolidated Results Commentary
Diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $9.09 per share, $0.75 higher than the prior year. Normalized
diluted EPS was $9.34, $0.92 higher than the prior year. The growth in earnings per share was driven by higher
revenue in both the Retail and Financial Services segments, up 3.3 percent and 14.3 percent, respectively, in
addition to a higher Retail segment gross margin rate and the impact of share repurchases associated with the
Company’s share repurchase program.
For the full year, Diluted EPS was $17.60 and Normalized Diluted EPS was $18.75, a decrease of $0.78 and
$0.16, respectively, from the prior year. Revenue growth was strong in both the Retail and Financial Services
segments, however, earnings per share declined due mainly to the year-over-year variance in the incremental
expected credit loss (“ECL”) allowance for loans receivable, higher SG&A, foreign exchange losses at Helly
Hansen, and a lower Retail segment gross margin rate, partially offset by the impact of share repurchases
associated with the Company’s share repurchase program.

Full Year
Diluted EPS: $0.78 per share
Consolidated revenue was $5,340.4 million, an
increase of $202.8 million or 3.9 percent.
Consolidated revenue excluding Petroleum1 was
$4,791.4 million, an increase of 3.1 percent
driven by revenue growth across all banners in
the Retail segment, and revenue growth in the
Financial Services segment.
Consolidated revenue was $17,810.6 million, an
increase of $1,518.5 million or 9.3 percent.
Consolidated revenue excluding Petroleum was
$15,469.1 million, an increase of 6.3 percent
driven by revenue growth across all banners in
the Retail segment, and revenue growth in the
Financial Services segment.
Consolidated gross margin dollars were $2,018.4
million, an increase of $71.7 million or 3.7
percent. The increase in gross margin dollars
was due to revenue growth in both the Retail and
Financial Services segments, in addition to a
higher Retail segment gross margin rate.
Other expense was $0.2 million, a decrease of
$5.0 million compared to the prior year. The
decrease was mainly driven by
the Retail
segment due to higher real estate related gains,
partially offset by $11.6 million of
foreign
exchange losses recognized at Helly Hansen in
the current year compared to $2.3 million of gains
in the prior year.

Net
finance costs during
the quarter were
$65.9 million, higher by 21.8 percent, primarily
due to higher short-term borrowings and interest
rates compared to the prior year.
Income taxes for the quarter were $189.6 million,
compared to $184.3 million in the prior year
primarily due to higher income. The effective tax
rate decreased for the quarter, primarily due to
lower non-deductible stock option expense.
Net finance costs were $231.0 million, higher by
3.8 percent, primarily due to higher short-term
borrowings and interest rates, partially offset by
higher capitalized interest and lower lease related
costs compared to the prior year.
Income taxes for the period were $401.0 million,
a decrease of $40.2 million compared to the prior
year primarily due to lower income. In addition,
the effective tax rate decreased for the year,
primarily due to lower non-deductible stock option
expense, partially offset by the charge relating to
the exit of Helly Hansen operations in Russia.
Diluted EPS was $9.09, an increase of $0.75 or
9.0 percent. Normalized diluted EPS was $9.34,
an increase of $0.92 or 10.9 percent. The
increase in earnings was due to the reasons
noted above and the impact of share repurchases
under the Company’s share repurchase program.
Diluted EPS was $17.60, a decrease of $0.78 or

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following chart shows the Retail segment, excluding Petroleum, Retail sales and revenue performance by
quarter for the last two years.
Retail Segment Commentary
Retail sales and revenue increased 1.2 percent and 3.3 percent, respectively, in the quarter against strong growth
of 6.5 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively, in the prior year. Excluding Petroleum, Retail sales and revenue
increased 0.2 percent and 2.3 percent respectively. eCommerce sales1 were $450 million in the quarter, well
above pre-pandemic levels.
Retail income before income taxes was $642.4 million for the quarter, compared to $638.1 million in the prior year.
Retail normalized income before income taxes was $662.0 million for the quarter, compared to $644.6 million in
the prior year. The increase in earnings was driven by revenue growth across all banners in addition to higher
other income, partially offset by higher SG&A and net finance costs. Increases in SG&A mainly reflected strategic
investments relating to the Better Connected strategy including the transition to cloud-based IT infrastructure, as
well as higher volume-related supply chain costs, partially offset by lower variable compensation expenses and
savings from the Operational Efficiency program.
For the full year, Retail income before income taxes was $1,048.0 million, a decrease of 10.9 percent from the
prior year. Normalized Retail income before income taxes was $1,131.7 million, a decrease of 7.0 percent from
the prior year. The decline in earnings was driven by a decrease in other income that included the normalized
charge relating to the exit of Helly Hansen operations in Russia and foreign exchange impacts relating to
significant depreciation of the Norwegian kroner against the U.S. dollar impacting Helly Hansen, in addition to
higher SG&A and a lower gross margin rate. This was partially offset by strong revenue growth across all
banners. Consolidated loyalty sales as a percentage of Retail sales1 was 59.7 percent and Owned Brands
penetration1 was 37.6 percent, up 135 bps and 10 bps respectively, contributing to the strong sales results.

Financial Services Segment Commentary
Financial Services segment income before income taxes was $86.8 million in the quarter, an increase of $23.8
million from the prior year, driven by strong revenue growth, as well as lower SG&A, which was partially offset by
higher net impairment losses. Revenue growth was mainly attributable to higher interest income due to strong
receivable growth and higher fee income on increased credit card sales.
The ECL allowance for loans receivable was $897.1 million, an increase of $28.4 million from Q3 2022, driven by
higher receivables. The ECL allowance rate1 finished the quarter at 12.6 percent, within the previously disclosed
range of 11.5 to 13.5 percent and consistent with the rate at Q3 2022. The credit card portfolio continues to
perform well despite ongoing economic uncertainty. Although delinquency has increased through 2022 back to
historical levels, with the percentage of receivables past due two months or more (“PD2+ rate”)2 ending the
quarter at 2.9 percent, the write-off rate continues to remain well below historical levels, finishing the year at 4.9
percent. GAAR was 12.4 percent higher relative to Q4 2021 due to increases in both active accounts and average
balance, up 6.1 percent and 5.9 percent, respectively. Ending receivables were up 11.2 percent, resulting from
slowed new account growth year-over-year and a reduction in the growth in overall cardholder spend.
On a full year basis, Financial Services income before income taxes was $441.6 million, an increase of $9.2
million from the prior year. The increase in earnings was mainly attributable to a 14.5 percent increase in revenue
partially offset by a $76.2 million year-over-year variance in the incremental ECL allowance for loans receivable,
as well as higher write-offs.

property revenue and expenses was mainly due to the properties acquired, and developments and intensifications
completed during 2022 and 2021, in addition to contractual rent escalations. Net finance costs were higher due to
increased borrowing from the issuance of unsecured debentures, and the increase in prime rate on the variable
rate mortgage.

The increase was driven by a higher CTR Dealer receivable due to timing of
payments, higher fair value position for foreign exchange derivative contracts, and
growth of Helly Hansen.

Hansen inventory increased to support growth in the business.
The increase was driven by the expansion of the Montreal and Calgary

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are:
•
Ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations when due and execute its operating and
strategic plans;
• Maintaining healthy liquidity reserves and the ability to access additional capital from multiple sources, if
required; and
• Minimizing its after-tax cost of capital while taking into consideration the key risks outlined in section 11.0
of this MD&A including current and future industry, market, and economic risks and conditions.
6.3.1 Canadian Tire Bank's Regulatory Environment
CTB manages its capital under guidelines established by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions
of Canada (“OSFI”). OSFI’s regulatory capital guidelines are based on the international Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision framework entitled Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and
Banking Systems, which came into effect in Canada on January 1, 2013, and measures capital relative to credit,
market, and operational risks. The Bank has various capital policies, procedures, and controls in place, including
an annual Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”), which it utilizes to achieve its goals and
objectives.
The Bank’s objectives include:
• maintaining strong capital ratios, as measured by regulatory guidelines and internal targets; and
• holding sufficient capital to maintain the confidence of investors and depositors.
As at Q4 2022, CTB complied with all regulatory capital guidelines established by OSFI and its internal targets as
determined by its ICAAP.

The Company’s full-year operating capital expenditures and total capital expenditures were
$747.6 million and $848.7 million respectively, an increase of $77.8 million and $44.8 million
from the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by the planned increase in Omnichannel
customer experience for the Canadian Tire store network as outlined in the Company’s strategy.
Capital Commitments
The Company had commitments of approximately $165.5 million as at December 31, 2022 (January 1, 2022 –
$136.1 million) for the acquisition of tangible and intangible assets.
Operating Capital Expenditures
The following represents forward-looking information and readers are cautioned that actual results may vary.
The Company’s full-year operating capital expenditures were $747.6 million, in line with its previously disclosed
expectation of $750 million. In addition, as part of the $3.4 billion announcement to fund the Company’s Better
Connected strategy and sustain the business, the Company expects 2023 full-year operating capital expenditures
to be in the range of $750 million to $800 million, below the previously disclosed range of $850 million to $900
million. The reduction in expenditures is primarily due to shifts in timing of real estate expenditures, and lower
capitalization of cloud-based IT solutions.
6.5 Liquidity and Financing
Management is focused on ensuring that the Company has sufficient liquidity, both through maintaining a strong
balance sheet and the ability to access additional capital from multiple sources, if required. Several alternative
financing sources are available to its Retail, Financial Services, and CT REIT segments to meet its financial
obligations when due and to execute its operating and strategic plans.
As at Q4 2022, CTC, CT REIT, CTB and Helly Hansen each complied with all financial covenants under the
agreements for the committed bank lines of credit listed in the following Financing Source table.

Credit Ratings
A credit rating generally provides an indication of the risk that the borrower will not fulfill its full obligations in a
timely manner with respect to both interest and principal commitments. Ratings for long-term debt instruments
range from highest credit quality (generally “AAA”) to default in payment (generally “D”). Ratings for short-term
debt instruments range from “R-1 (high)” (DBRS Morningstar), “A-1+” (S&P), “P-1” (Moody’s), or “F1+” (Fitch),
representing the highest credit quality to “D” (DBRS Morningstar and Fitch), “C” (S&P and Fitch), and “not
prime” (Moody’s) for the lowest credit quality of securities rated.

Each year, the Company files a notice to make an NCIB with the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) which allows it
to purchase its Class A Non-Voting Shares on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and/or alternative
Canadian trading systems, if eligible, at the market price of the shares at the time of purchase or as otherwise
permitted under the rules of the TSX and applicable securities laws. Class A Non-Voting Shares purchased by the
Company pursuant to the NCIB are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares. Security holders
may obtain a copy of the notice, without charge, by contacting the Corporate Secretary of the Company.
On February 19, 2021, the TSX accepted the Company’s notice of intention to make an NCIB to purchase up to
5.4 million Class A Non-Voting Shares during the period March 2, 2021 to March 1, 2022 (the “2021-22 NCIB”).
On February 17, 2022, the TSX accepted the Company’s notice of intention to make an NCIB to purchase up to
5.3 million Class A Non-Voting Shares during the period March 2, 2022 to March 1, 2023 (the “2022-23 NCIB”).
Also on February 17, 2022, the TSX accepted a new Automatic Securities Purchase Plan (“ASPP”) which expires
on March 1, 2023 (the “2022-23 ASPP”) and allows a designated broker to purchase Class A Non-Voting Shares
under the 2022-23 NCIB during the Company’s blackout periods, subject to pre-defined parameters.
On November 11, 2021, the Company announced that it intended to purchase up to $400 million of Class A Non-
Voting Shares by the end of 2022, in excess of the amount required for anti-dilutive purposes (the “2021-22 Share
Purchase Intention”). The following table summarizes the Company’s purchases relating to the 2021-22 Share

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
7.2 Dividends
The Company has a long-term dividend payout ratio1 target of approximately 30 to 40 percent of the prior year
normalized net income, after considering the period-end cash position, future cash flow requirements, capital
market conditions, and investment opportunities. The long-term dividend payout ratio may fluctuate in any
particular year due to unusual or non-recurring events.
The Company increased its annual dividend for the 13th consecutive year, to $6.90 per share, a cumulative
quarterly dividend increase of 33 percent since last year as a result of dividend increases approved on May 12,
2022 and November 9, 2022. The declared dividends are payable to holders of Class A Non-Voting Shares and
Common Shares at a rate of $1.725 per share payable on June 1, 2023, to shareholders of record as of April 30,
2023. The dividend is considered an “eligible dividend” for tax purposes.
7.3 Equity Derivative Contracts
The Company enters into equity-derivative contracts to partially offset its exposure to fluctuations in stock options,
performance share units, restricted share units and deferred share units’ expenses. The Company currently uses
floating-rate equity forwards.
During Q4 2022, 300,000 units of equity forward contracts that hedged stock-options, performance share units,
restricted share units and deferred share units settled and resulted in a cash payment to the counterparties of
approximately $10.8 million. 160,000 units of new equity-forward contracts were entered into in Q4 2022 with a
hedge rate of $149.75.
8.0 Tax Matters
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to ongoing audits by tax authorities. While the
Company has determined that its tax filing positions are appropriate and supportable, from time to time certain
matters are reviewed and challenged by the tax authorities.
With respect to temporary differences relating to and arising from the Company’s investment in its subsidiaries,
the Company is able to control and has no plans that would result in the realization of the respective temporary
differences. Accordingly, the Company has not provided for deferred taxes relating to these respective temporary
differences that might otherwise occur from transactions relating to the Company’s investment in its subsidiaries.
The Company regularly reviews the potential for adverse outcomes with respect to tax matters. The Company
believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its liquidity,
consolidated financial position, or net income, because the Company has determined that it has adequate
provision for these tax matters. Should the ultimate tax liability materially differ from the provision, the Company’s
effective tax rate and its earnings could be affected positively or negatively in the period in which the matters are
resolved.
Income taxes for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 were $189.6 million compared with $184.3 million in
2021. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 decreased to 25.2 percent from 25.6
percent in 2021 primarily due to lower non-deductible stock option expense in the period.
Income taxes for the full year ended December 31, 2022 were $401.0 million compared with $441.2 million in
2021. The effective tax rate for the full year ended December 31, 2022 decreased to 25.3 percent from 25.9
percent in 2021 primarily due to lower non-deductible stock option expense in the period, partially offset by the tax
impact of the costs to exit Helly Hansen operations in Russia.

CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 39
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
9.0 Accounting Policies and Estimates
9.1 Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company estimates certain amounts, which are reflected in its consolidated financial statements using
detailed financial models based on historical experience, current trends, and other assumptions. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. In Management’s judgment, the accounting estimates and policies detailed in
Note 2 and Note 3 to the Company’s 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements do not require Management to
make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and, accordingly, none of those estimates are
considered a “critical accounting estimate” as defined in Form 51-102F1 – Management’s Discussion and
Analysis, published by the Canadian Securities Administrators, except for the allowance for loan impairment in the
Financial Services segment.
Details of the accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates that the Company believes could
have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in its consolidated financial statements are described
in Note 2 to the Company’s 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.
9.2 Changes in Accounting Policies
Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Issued and Adopted
Improving Accounting Policy Disclosures
In the current quarter, the Company early adopted Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and
IFRS Practice Statement 2), issued in February 2021. The amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial
Statements (“IAS 1”) require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their
significant accounting policies. The amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 provide guidance on how to apply
the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The Company has applied these changes in the
current period. For further information refer to Note 3.
Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction
In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 – Income Taxes to specify how companies
account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. In specific
circumstances, companies are exempt from recognizing deferred tax when they recognize assets or liabilities for
the first time. Previously, there had been some uncertainty about whether the exemption applied to transactions
such as leases and decommissioning obligations transactions for which companies recognize both an asset and a
liability. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognize
deferred tax on such transactions. The aim of the amendments is to reduce diversity in the reporting of deferred
tax on leases and decommissioning obligations. The Company has assessed there to be no material impact on
deferred taxes as a result of the amendment. The Company early adopted this amendment during the year.
Software as a Service (“SaaS”) Arrangements
The IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) published a final agenda decision in April 2021, clarifying how to
recognize certain configuration and customization expenditures relating to implementing SaaS arrangements. A
review of the Company’s accounting for SaaS projects was undertaken in light of the guidance. The Company
refined its accounting policy to align with the IFRIC and capitalizes implementation costs associated with activities
that create and meet the criteria of an intangible asset under IFRS. Costs not qualifying for capitalization have
been expensed in the current period. The Company has assessed the impact of this interpretation and determined
there to be no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Issued but not yet Adopted
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued but are not effective for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2022 and, accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial
statements.
Insurance Contracts
In May 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts
(“IFRS 17”), which replaces IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts and establishes a new model for recognizing insurance
40 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
policy obligations, premium revenue, and claims-related expenses. In June 2020, the IASB issued ‘Amendments
to IFRS 17’ to address concerns and implementation challenges identified after IFRS 17 was published in 2017.
The amendments also deferred the effective date for two years to January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company has assessed the impacts of adopting IFRS 17 and determined there to be no material impact on
the consolidated financial statements.
Clarifying Distinction Between Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”). The amendments to IAS 8 clarify how companies distinguish changes
in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is important because changes in
accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future transactions and other future events, but changes in
accounting policies are generally also applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events. The
amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is
permitted. The Company assessed the potential impact of the amendment and determined there to be no
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”) relating to sale leaseback
transactions for seller-lessees. The amendment adds a requirement that measuring lease payments or revised
lease payments shall not result in the recognition of a gain or loss that relates to the right-of-use asset retained by
the seller-lessee. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of these amendments.
Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, which specifies that covenants whose compliance is
assessed after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting
date. Instead, the amendments require disclosure of information about these covenants in the notes to the
financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of these amendments.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
10.0 Non-GAAP Financial Measures, Ratios and Supplementary Financial
Measures
10.1 Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios
The Company prepares and presents its financial information on a GAAP basis. Management uses many
measures to assess performance, including non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios. Non-GAAP
financial measures and non-GAAP ratios have no standardized meanings under GAAP and may not be
comparable to similar measures of other companies.
Management considers both reported and normalized results and measures useful in evaluating the performance
of the core business operations of the Company. Management uses normalized results to assess changes in
financial performance across periods on a comparable basis by removing specified items not related to the core
business operations of the Company that are infrequent and non-operational in nature. The items, which can
include acquisition-related transaction costs, restructuring or discontinued operations costs, Operational Efficiency
program costs, one-time costs for new program rollouts, and infrequent, non-operational fair value adjustments,
are removed from cost of producing revenue, SG&A and other income (expense), where applicable. Explanations
of normalizing items can be found in subsection 5.1.1.

include an estimate of rent expense, a significant operating expense for its retail business. Management removes
Petroleum revenue because it may complicate variances, especially when reviewing the measure as a ratio.
Normalized SG&A adjusted for rent expense excluding depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue

Retail Return on Invested Capital
Retail ROIC is calculated as Retail return divided by the Retail invested capital. Retail return is defined as trailing
annual Retail after-tax earnings excluding interest expense, lease related depreciation expense, inter-segment
earnings, and any normalizing items. Retail invested capital is defined as Retail segment total assets, less Retail
segment trade payables and accrued liabilities and inter-segment balances based on an average of the trailing
four quarters. Retail return and Retail invested capital are non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company
does not consider useful in isolation. The Company believes that Retail ROIC is useful in assessing the Retail
segment’s performance relative to shareholder investment.

PD2+ rate is calculated by dividing gross credit card receivables that are two cycles or more overdue (30+ days
past due) by total gross credit card receivables. Both components exclude allowances and discounts. Gross past
due credit card receivables, total gross credit card receivables and PD2+ are non-GAAP financial measures and a
non-GAAP ratio, respectively.
The ratio of past due credit card receivables provides Management and investors with an additional measure to
assess the quality and health of credit card loan assets. Past due gross credit card receivables and total gross
credit card receivables provide insight into the book value of cardholder balances of our existing portfolio at the

NOI is defined as property revenue less property expense adjusted further for straight-line rent. This measure is

Management believes that NOI is a useful key indicator of performance as it represents a measure of property
operations over which management has control. NOI is also a key input in determining the value of the portfolio.
NOI should not be considered as an alternative to property revenue or net income and comprehensive income,
both of which are determined in accordance with GAAP.

CT REIT Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance used by the real estate industry, particularly by
those publicly-traded entities that own and operate income-producing properties. This measure is most directly
comparable to net income and comprehensive income, GAAP measures reported in the consolidated financial
statements. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow provided by operating
activities determined in accordance with IFRS. CT REIT calculates its FFO in accordance with Real Property
Association of Canada’s publication “REALPAC Funds from Operations & Adjusted Funds From Operations for
IFRS” (“REALPAC FFO & AFFO”). The use of FFO, together with the required IFRS presentations, have been
included for the purpose of improving the understanding of the operating results of CT REIT.
Management believes that FFO is a useful measure of operating performance that, when compared period over
period, reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy levels, rental rates, operating costs and property
taxes, acquisition activities and interest costs, and provides a perspective of the financial performance that is not
immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with IFRS.
FFO adds back items to net income that do not arise from operating activities, such as fair-value adjustments.
FFO, however, still includes non-cash revenues relating to accounting for straight-line rent and makes no
deduction for the recurring capital expenditures necessary to sustain the existing earnings stream.
Adjusted Funds from Operations
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of recurring economic earnings used in the real estate industry to assess
an entity’s distribution capacity. This measure is most directly comparable to net income and comprehensive
income, GAAP measures reported in the consolidated financial statements. AFFO should not be considered as
an alternative to net income or cash flows provided by operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.
CT REIT calculates its AFFO in accordance with REALPAC’s FFO & AFFO.
CT REIT calculates AFFO by adjusting FFO for non-cash income and expense items such as amortization of
straight-line rents. FFO is also adjusted for a reserve for maintaining productive capacity required for sustaining
property infrastructure and revenue from real estate properties and direct leasing costs. As property capital
expenditures do not occur evenly during the fiscal year or from year to year the capital expenditure reserve in the
AFFO calculation, which is used as an input in assessing the REIT’s distribution payout ratio, is intended to reflect
an average annual spending level. The reserve is primarily based on average expenditures as determined by
building condition reports prepared by independent consultants.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 53
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management believes that AFFO is a useful measure of operating performance similar to FFO as described,
adjusted for the impact of non-cash income and expense items.
FFO per unit and AFFO per unit
FFO per unit and AFFO per unit are calculated by dividing FFO or AFFO by the weighted average number of units
outstanding on a diluted basis. Management believes that these measures are useful to investors to assess the
effect of this measure as it relates to their holdings

10.2 Supplementary Financial Measures
Average Account Balance
Average account balance measures average aggregate account balances for the credit card portfolio, excluding
lines of credit and personal loans, divided by the average number of credit card accounts, for the applicable
period.
Borrowings Outstanding
Borrowings outstanding represent drawdowns from committed bank lines of credit.
Credit Card Sales and Credit Card Sales Growth
Credit card sales is a measure of the net sales charged to credit cards. Credit card sales growth excludes balance
transfers, and represents year-over-year percentage change.
Comparable Sales
Comparable sales is commonly used in the retail industry to identify sales growth generated by a Company’s
existing store network and removes the effect of opening and closing stores in the period. The calculation includes
sales from all stores that have been open for a minimum of one year and one week, as well as eCommerce sales.
Comparable sales do not form part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management applies this
measure to Consolidated results (including and excluding Petroleum), the Retail segment (including and excluding
Petroleum), and all banners under the Retail segment (including but not limited to Canadian Tire Retail,
SportChek and Mark’s).
Cost of Debt
Cost of debt represents the weighted average finance costs as a percentage of total short-term and long-term
debt during the period.
eCommerce Sales
eCommerce sales refers to sales generated by the Company’s online presence. Only eCommerce sales from
corporate stores are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management applies this
measure to Consolidated results, the Retail segment, and banners under the Retail segment.
eCommerce Penetration Rate
eCommerce penetration rate is calculated by dividing eCommerce sales by Retail sales.
ECL Allowance Rate
This measure is the total allowance for expected credit losses as a percentage of total gross loans receivable for
the Financial Services segment.
Effective Tax Rate
Effective tax rate is the tax expense for the period divided by the income before income taxes for the same period.
Gross Average Accounts Receivable
GAAR is the average accounts receivable from credit cards, personal loans and lines of credit, before allowances
for expected credit losses. Measures using GAAR apply only to the Financial Services segment.
Gross Margin Rate
Gross margin rate is gross margin divided by revenue.
Gross Margin excluding Petroleum and Gross Margin Rate excluding Petroleum
Gross margin excluding Petroleum captures gross margin in the consolidated entity or Retail segment, as
measured according to the Company’s IFRS accounting policy, while excluding gross margin from Petroleum
sales. Gross margin rate excluding Petroleum is calculated by dividing gross margin excluding Petroleum by
revenue excluding Petroleum.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Interest Expense
Interest expense represents the finance cost of short-term and long-term debt, which includes lines of credit,
medium-term notes, debentures, and senior and subordinated term notes. This metric excludes deposits held by
CTB, Franchise Trust indebtedness, and lease liability interest.
Loyalty Sales and Loyalty Sales as a % of Retail Sales (Loyalty Penetration)
Loyalty sales are Retail sales attributable to Triangle members. Loyalty sales as a percentage of retail sales is
calculated by dividing loyalty sales by Retail sales.
Net Credit Card Write-off Rate
Net credit card write-off rate measures write-offs of credit card balances only, net of recoveries for the past twelve
months, as a percentage of the credit card GAAR.
Operating Expenses as % of GAAR
Operating expenses as percentage of GAAR for the Financial Services segment is calculated using rolling 12-
month operating expenses divided by gross average receivables accounts receivable.
Owned Brands Penetration
Owned Brands penetration is calculated by dividing sales of Owned Brands by Retail sales.
Property Revenue
Property revenue includes all amounts earned from tenants pursuant to lease agreements including property
taxes, operating costs and other recoveries.
Property Expense
Property expense consists primarily of property taxes, operating costs and property management costs (including
any outsourcing of property management services).
Retail Sales
Retail sales refers to the point-of-sale value of all goods and services sold to retail customers at stores operated
by Dealers, Mark’s and SportChek franchisees, and Petroleum retailers, at corporately-owned stores across all
banners under the Retail segment, services provided as part of the Home Services offering, and of goods sold
through the Company’s online sales channels, and in aggregate do not form part of the Company’s consolidated
financial statements. Management applies this measure to Consolidated results (including and excluding
Petroleum), the Retail segment (including and excluding Petroleum), and all banners under the Retail segment
(including but not limited to Canadian Tire Retail, SportChek, Mark’s, Helly Hansen, Gas+, and Owned Brands).
Retail SG&A Rate and Retail SG&A as a Percentage of Revenue Excluding Petroleum
Retail SG&A rate is calculated by dividing Retail SG&A by Retail revenue. Retail SG&A as a percentage of
revenue excluding Petroleum is calculated by dividing Retail SG&A by Retail revenue excluding Petroleum.
Return on Receivables
Return on receivables (“ROR”) assesses the profitability of the Financial Services’ total portfolio of receivables.
ROR is calculated by dividing Financial Services’ income before income tax and gains/losses on disposal of
property and equipment by the average of Financial Services’ total-managed portfolio over a rolling 12-month
period.
Revenue as % of GAAR
Revenue as percentage of GAAR for the Financial Services segment is the rolling 12-month revenue divided by
gross average accounts receivable.
Revenue Excluding Petroleum
Revenue excluding Petroleum captures revenue in the consolidated entity and Retail segment, as measured
according to the Company’s IFRS accounting policy, while excluding revenues from petroleum sales.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
11.0 Key Risks and Risk Management
Overview
In the normal course of its business activities, CTC is regularly faced with risks and opportunities. The effective
management of risk is a key priority of the Company to support CTC in achieving its strategies and business
objectives. Accordingly, CTC has adopted an Enterprise Risk Management Framework (“ERM Framework”) for
identifying, assessing, monitoring, mitigating, and reporting risks and opportunities facing CTC. Refer to section
2.6 in the 2022 AIF for further details of CTC’s ERM Framework.
11.1 Key Risks
The Company regularly assesses its businesses to identify and assess key risks that alone, or in combination with
other interrelated risks, could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s brand, financial performance,
and/or ability to achieve its strategic objectives. CTC’s risks are generally categorized as strategic, financial, or
operational; however, certain risks can have impacts across categories. The following section provides a high-
level view of CTC’s risks that have the most potential to impact its businesses and CTC’s approach to mitigating
such risks.
The mitigation and management of risk is approached holistically with a view to ensuring all risk exposures are
considered. Although the Company believes the measures taken to mitigate risks are reasonable, there can be
no assurance that they will effectively mitigate risks that may have a negative impact on the Company’s financial
performance, brand, and/or ability to achieve its strategic objectives. In addition, there are numerous other
external risk factors, such as macroeconomic (including inflation), geopolitical, cyber and ransomware attacks,
changing consumer preferences, climate change, commodity pricing, supply chain disruption, pandemics,
changing laws and regulations, or new technologies that are difficult to predict and could adversely impact
financial performance, plans, and objectives.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on global economic activity since March 2020.
The duration and long-term adverse effects of the pandemic on CTC remain uncertain. The Company has
implemented comprehensive and evolving operational and risk management strategies to support its businesses
and protect the health and well-being of its employees and customers through the pandemic.
11.1.1 Strategic Risks
CTC manages strategic risks, including strategy, key business relationships, and reputation, which are described
below.
Strategy
CTC operates in a number of industries which are highly competitive and constantly evolving. The Company
selects strategies intended to address opportunities and risks, and positively differentiate its performance in the
marketplace. Should the Company be unable to appropriately respond to fluctuations in the external business
environment as a result of inaction, ineffective strategies, or poor implementation of strategies, there could be
adverse impacts on CTC’s financial performance, brand, and/or ability to achieve its strategic objectives. Factors
affecting these risks may include, but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
changes in the competitive landscape in the retail, banking, and/or real estate sectors, impacting the
attractiveness of shopping at CTC’s businesses and the value of its real estate holdings;
economic recession, depression, or high inflation, impacting consumer spending;
changes in the domestic or international political environments, impacting the cost and availability of
products and services and CTC’s ability to do business;
shifts in the buying behaviour of consumers, demographics, or weather patterns, impacting the relevance
of the products and services offered by CTC;
transition and integration of significant acquisitions into the CTC business model and CTC’s ability to
achieve expected performance and growth plans;
introduction of new technologies and trends impacting the relevance of the products, channels, or
services offered by CTC; and
health events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, impacting the Company’s operations, customer
behaviours and financial performance.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 59
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Risk management strategy:
The Company regularly assesses strategies to enable the achievement of its financial aspirations. These
strategies take the form of a number of strategic objectives. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company identifies
and assesses the external and internal risks that may impede the achievement of its strategic objectives. This
includes the regular monitoring of economic, political, health, demographic, geographic and competitive
developments in Canada and other countries where CTC conducts business, as well as the capabilities, strategic
fit, and other benefits of key initiatives and acquisitions. The goal of this approach is to provide early warning and
escalation within the Company regarding significant risks and engage in appropriate Management activities to
mitigate these risks. In addition to supporting strategy execution, this approach enables Management to assess
the effectiveness of its strategies considering external and internal conditions and propose changes to strategic
objectives as appropriate.
Key Business Relationships
CTC’s business model relies on certain significant business relationships. Such relationships include, but are not
limited to, relationships with its Dealers, agents, franchisees, suppliers and service providers.
The scope, complexity, materiality, and/or criticality of these key business relationships can affect customer
service, procurement, product and service delivery, information security and expense management. Failure to
effectively manage these relationships may have a negative impact on CTC’s financial performance, brand and/or
ability to achieve its strategic objectives.
Risk management strategy:
The Company regularly assesses the capabilities, strategic fit, and other realized benefits of key business
relationships in the context of supporting its strategies. Governance structures, including policies, processes,
contracts, service agreements, and other management activities, are in place to maintain and strengthen the
relationships that are critical to the success of the Company’s performance and aligned with its overall strategic
needs.
A key relationship for the Company is with its Dealers. Management of the Canadian Tire Dealer relationship is
led by Senior Management with oversight by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Board of Directors.
Throughout the pandemic, the Company has worked closely with its Dealers, agents, franchisees, suppliers, and
service providers to help maintain safe business operations and continue to provide Canadians and our
communities with the essential products and services they require.
Reputation
The strength of CTC’s brand significantly contributes to the success of the Company and is sustained through its
culture, policies, processes, and ongoing investments that build trust and affinity with stakeholders. Maintaining
and enhancing brand equity enables the Company to grow and achieve its financial goals and strategic
aspirations. The Company recognizes that proper stewardship of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”)
matters that are relevant to its business contributes positively to the Company’s reputation. CTC’s reputation, and
consequently, its brand, may be negatively affected by various factors, some of which may be outside its control.
Should these factors materialize, stakeholders’ trust in the Company, the perception of what its brand stands for,
its connection with customers, and subsequently its brand equity, may significantly diminish. As a result, CTC’s
financial position, brand and/or ability to achieve its strategic objectives may be negatively affected.
Risk management strategy:
The Company’s strategies include plans and investments to protect and enhance its reputation. The Company
has identified the ESG matters that are most relevant to its stakeholders and invested in managing these areas of
focus to not just meet but exceed regulatory standards. All employees are expected to manage risks that could
impact the Company’s reputation and thereby its brand equity through a set of established risk frameworks.
Senior Management is accountable to ensure that employees identify and escalate matters that could create
reputational risk. The Company monitors a variety of sources to identify issues that could damage its reputation
and has established processes to respond to significant issues. The Company’s Codes of Conduct are the
60 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
foundation for ethical conduct at CTC, providing all employees, contractors, suppliers, and Directors with
guidance on ethical values and expected behaviours that enable it to sustain its culture of integrity.
11.1.2 Financial Risks
Macroeconomic conditions are highly cyclical, volatile and can have a material effect on the ability of the
Company to achieve strategic goals and aspirations. CTC manages a number of financial risks with respect to
financial instruments, inflation, liquidity, foreign currency exchange and interest rates, which are described below.
Financial Instrument Risk
The Company’s primary financial instrument risk exposures relate to the Bank’s credit card loans receivable and
the value of the Company’s financial instruments (including derivatives and investments) employed to manage
exposure to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and equity risk, all of which are subject to financial market
volatility. For further disclosure of the Company’s financial instruments, their classification, their impact on
financial statements, and determination of fair value refer to Note 33 to the consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity Risk
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 that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal
circumstances, with the ability to react under some uncertainty.
For a comprehensive discussion of the Company’s liquidity risk, see Note 5 of the consolidated financial
statements.
Foreign Currency Risk
CTC sources merchandise globally. In 2022, approximately 55 percent, 23 percent and 46 percent of the value of
inventory purchases of Canadian Tire Retail, SportChek and Mark’s, respectively, were sourced directly from
vendors outside Canada and denominated in U.S. dollars. The majority of Helly Hansen’s purchases are from
vendors in Asia and are denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros. To mitigate the impact of fluctuating foreign
exchange rates on the cost of these purchases, the Company has an established foreign exchange risk
management program that governs the proportion of forecast U.S. dollar and Euro purchases that are hedged
through foreign exchange derivative contracts. The purpose of the program is to provide certainty with respect to
a portion of the foreign exchange component of future merchandise purchases.
As the Company has hedged a significant portion of the cost of its near-term U.S. dollar-denominated forecast
purchases, a change in foreign currency rates will not materially impact that portion of the cost relating to those
purchases. The Company operates its hedging program on a continual basis to ensure that any sustained
change in rates is reflected in the cost of the Company’s U.S. dollar purchases over the entirety of its hedging
horizon. This ensures that the cost of U.S. dollar purchases is smoothed relative to the foreign exchange market
allowing the Company to defer the impact of sudden exchange rate movements on margins and allow it time to
develop strategies to mitigate the impact of a sustained change in foreign exchange rates. Some vendors have
an underlying exposure to U.S. currency fluctuations which may affect the price they charge the Company for
merchandise, and the Company’s hedging program does not mitigate that risk. While the Company may be able
to pass on changes in foreign currency exchange rates through retail pricing, any decision to do so would be
subject to competitive, market and economic conditions.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company may use interest rate derivatives or exercise its contractual early redemption options for Medium-
Term Notes and Debentures to manage interest rate risk. The Company has a policy whereby, on a consolidated
basis (excluding Franchise Trust), a minimum of 75 percent of its consolidated debt (short-term and long-term) will
be at fixed versus floating interest rates.
Failure to develop, implement, and execute effective strategies to manage these financial risks may result in
insufficient capital to absorb unexpected losses and/or decreases in margin and/or changes in asset value,
negatively affecting CTC’s financial position, brand, and/or ability to achieve its strategic objectives.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 61
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Risk management strategy:
The Company has a Board-approved Financial Risk Management Policy in place which governs financial
instruments, liquidity, foreign currency, interest rate and other financial risks. The Treasurer and Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”) provide assurances with respect to policy compliance. Refer to section 6.3 in this MD&A for
further details.
In particular, the Company’s hedging activities, are governed by this policy. Hedge transactions are executed with
highly rated financial institutions and are monitored against policy limits.
11.1.3 Operational Risks
CTC manages a number of operational risks, that are described below: talent; technology functionality, resiliency
and security; cyber; data and information; operations; financial reporting; credit; and legal, regulatory and
litigation.
Talent
To support its strategies, objectives and normal business operations, CTC needs to maintain a sufficient,
appropriately skilled, focused and committed workforce. CTC’s financial position, brand, and/or ability to achieve
its strategic objectives may be negatively affected by its failure to manage its talent risk.
Risk management strategy:
The Company manages its talent risk through its organizational design, employee recruitment programs,
succession planning, compensation structures, ongoing training, professional development programs, diversity,
inclusion and belonging programs, change management, Code of Conduct, and performance management. The
Company also continues to adopt strategies to attract and retain talent, to support areas of the business where
labour shortages and high competition for talent are prevalent.
Technology Functionality, Resiliency and Security
CTC’s business is affected by its technologies, which may positively or adversely impact CTC’s products,
channels, and services. CTC’s choices of investments in technology may support its ability to achieve its strategic
objectives, or may negatively affect its financial position, brand, and/or ability to achieve its strategic objectives.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift in consumer behaviour to online shopping and the risk to the
Company’s digital platforms and IT systems.
Risk management strategy:
The Company manages its risks through its investments in people, processes, systems, and tools to meet
operational and security requirements, and leverage technological advances in the marketplace.
The Company maintains policies, processes, and controls to address capabilities, performance, security, and
availability, including disaster recovery for systems, infrastructure, and data.
The Company regularly monitors and analyzes its technology needs and performance to determine the
effectiveness of its investments and its investment priorities. CTC continues to enhance its digital platforms to
effectively meet increased online customer demand and improve both the customer and Dealer eCommerce
experiences. IT improvements pertaining to network infrastructure, devices, security, and incident management
are effectively supporting the hybrid model.
Cyber
CTC relies on IT systems in all areas of operations. The Company’s information systems are subject to the
increasing frequency and sophistication of global cyber threats, including ransomware attacks. The methods
used to obtain unauthorized access, disable, or degrade service or sabotage systems are constantly evolving. A
breach of sensitive information or disruption to its systems may negatively impact CTC’s financial position, brand,
and/or ability to achieve its strategic objectives.
62 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Risk management strategy:
The Company maintains policies, processes, and controls to address capabilities, performance, security, and
availability including disaster recovery for systems, infrastructure, and data. Security protocols, along with
information security policies, address compliance with information security standards, including those relating to
information belonging to the Company’s customers and employees. The Company actively monitors, manages,
and continues to enhance its ability to mitigate cyber risk through enterprise-wide programs. As a result of
heightened risks, CTC has implemented additional security measures with respect to employee training,
monitoring and testing, systems protection, and business continuity and contingency planning.
Data and Information
In the normal course of business, the Company collects and stores sensitive data, including the personal
information of its customers and employees, information of its business partners, and internal information. The
integrity, reliability and security of information are critical to its business operations and strategy. The hybrid
model has heightened the importance of data and information security and privacy.
The lack of integrity and reliability of information for decision-making, loss or inappropriate disclosure or
misappropriation of sensitive information could negatively affect CTC’s financial position, brand, and/or ability to
achieve its strategic objectives.
Risk management strategy:
The Company has policies, processes, and controls designed to manage and safeguard the information of its
customers, employees, and internal information throughout its lifecycle. The Company continues to enhance its
ability to mitigate information risk in conjunction with its cyber risk management programs. The Company
monitors and enforces its practices supporting the security, privacy and confidentiality of sensitive data and
information.
Operations
CTC has complex and diverse operations across its business units and functional areas. Sources of operational
risk include, but are not limited to, merchandising, supply chain, store networks, property management and
development, financial services, business disruptions, regulatory requirements, and reliance on technology.
Operations risk is the risk of potential loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems,
human interactions, or external events (such as health and weather events). Should this risk materialize, CTC’s
financial position, brand, and/or ability to achieve its strategic objectives could be negatively affected.
Past government-issued guidelines and restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the
implementation of several operational measures that impacted the Company’s offices, call centres, stores, and
distribution networks, including temporary closures of facilities, reduced store hours and capacity, enhanced
cleaning protocols, and actions to promote physical distancing. Reintroduction of government-response actions
could have additional adverse impacts on the Company’s operations and financial performance.
Risk management strategy:
Management in charge of each banner and corporate function is accountable for providing assurances that
policies, processes, and procedures are adequately designed and operating effectively to support the strategic
and performance objectives, availability of business services, and regulatory compliance of the banner that they
operate or support. To ensure continuity of business activities and services, the Company has identified critical
processes and developed robust business continuity plans to mitigate and respond to significant disruptions.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company remained focused on maintaining safe and resilient business
operations to support Canadians and communities by providing essential products and services for the jobs and
joys of life in Canada. CTC continues to take the necessary measures and precautions to protect the health and
well-being of its employees and customers, as appropriate.
Further information regarding the Company’s exposure to this risk for each business segment is provided in
section 11.2.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 63
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Financial Reporting
Public companies such as CTC are subject to risks relating to the restatement and reissuance of financial
statements, which may be due to:
•
•
•
failure to adhere to financial accounting and presentation standards and securities regulations relevant to
financial reporting;
fraudulent activity and/or failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls; and/or
inadequate explanation of a Company’s operating performance, financial condition, and prospects.
The realization of one or more of these risks may result in regulatory-related issues or may negatively impact
CTC’s financial position, brand and/or ability to achieve its strategic objectives.
Risk management strategy:
Internal controls, which include policies, processes and procedures, provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements and other disclosure documents. This
includes monitoring and responding to changing regulations and standards governing accounting and financial
presentation. Further details are set out in section 12.0.
Credit
CTC’s credit risk, which may result if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, arises
principally from operations of the Bank’s credit card loan portfolio, CTC’s interaction with its Dealer and franchisee
networks, and financial instruments, which are discussed in more detail below.
Consumer Credit Risk
Through the granting of credit cards, the Company assumes certain risks with respect to the ability and
willingness of the Bank’s customers to repay loans owing to it. Upon cessation of measures put in place by
government authorities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CTC could see an increase in cardholder
delinquencies or impairments, which could negatively impact its financial performance and strategic objectives.
Dealer, Franchise and Other Wholesale Customer Credit Risk
Accounts receivable credit risk is primarily from Dealers, franchisees, and wholesale customers. In addition, the
Company is required to provide credit enhancement to Franchise Trust in the form of standby letters of credit
(“LCs”) issued by highly-rated financial institutions and guaranteed by the Company to achieve the required “AAA”
equivalent credit rating of the funding of the Dealer loan portfolio and may also provide guarantees of third-party
bank debt agreements or inventory buy-back agreements, with respect to the bank financing of certain Dealers
and franchisees.
Financial Instrument Counterparty Risk
The Company's Financial Risk Management Policy manages counterparty credit risk relating to cash balances,
investment activity, and the use of financial derivatives. The Company limits its exposure to counterparty credit
risk by transacting only with highly-rated financial institutions and other counterparties and by managing within
specific limits for credit exposure and term-to-maturity. The Company’s financial instrument portfolio is spread
across financial institutions, provincial and federal governments and, to a lesser extent, corporate issuers that are
at least dual rated and have a lowest (if dual rated) or median (if three or more ratings) credit rating in the “A(low)”
equivalent category or better and asset-backed issuers that are at least dual rated and have credit ratings in the
“AAA” equivalent category.
Failure to effectively manage this risk may negatively impact CTC’s financial position, brand, and/or ability to
achieve its strategic objectives.
Risk management strategy:
Various Board-approved policies, processes and controls are employed to manage and mitigate the Company’s
credit risk exposure and are monitored for compliance with policy limits.
Further information regarding the Company’s exposure to consumer lending risk and the Bank’s mitigation
strategies is provided in section 11.2.2.
For further disclosure of the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk, over and above amounts recognized in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets, refer to Note 5.3.2 to the consolidated financial statements.
64 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For further disclosure of the Company’s allowance for impairment on loans receivable, refer to Note 9 to the
consolidated financial statements.
Legal, Regulatory and Litigation
The Company is or may become subject to claims, disputes, legal proceedings, and regulatory compliance issues
arising in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of litigation cannot be predicted or guaranteed.
Unfavourable rulings may have a material adverse effect on CTC’s financial position, brand, and/or ability to
achieve its strategic objectives. Additional legislation and regulations (including climate change initiatives) may
be adopted or instituted that impose additional constraints on CTC’s operations, which may adversely impact its
financial performance.
Regulatory risk may have a negative impact on business activities, earnings or capital, regulatory relationships,
Company’s brand or reputation as a result of failure to comply with or failure to adapt to current and changing
regulations or regulatory expectations.
Risk management strategy:
Various Board-approved policies, processes and controls address requirements for compliance with applicable
laws, regulations, and regulatory policies. A team of legal professionals assists employees with mitigating and
managing risks relating to claims or potential claims, disputes, and legal proceedings. The Company’s Legislative
Compliance department provides compliance oversight and guidance to the organization, including the
development and maintenance of a regulatory compliance management system. Specific activities that assist the
Company in adhering to regulatory standards include communication of regulatory requirements, advice, training,
testing, monitoring, reporting, and escalation of control deficiencies to Senior Management.
11.2 Business Segment Risks
11.2.1 Retail Segment Business Risks
The Retail segment is exposed to a number of risks in the normal course of its business that have the potential to
affect its operating performance. Certain risks continue to be compounded by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Following are the business risks most relevant to the Retail segment’s operations. Refer to section 11.1 in this
MD&A for further details of the Company’s risk management strategies.
Seasonality Risk
Canadian Tire Retail derives a significant amount of its revenue from the sale of seasonal merchandise and,
accordingly, derives a degree of sales volatility from abnormal weather patterns. Canadian Tire Retail mitigates
this risk, to the extent possible, through the breadth of its product mix and proactive assortment management,
effective procurement, and inventory management practices, as well as the development of products and offers to
stimulate customer demand for ‘non-seasonal’ and year-round products not directly affected by weather patterns.
Mark’s business remains seasonal, with the fourth quarter typically producing the largest share of sales and
annual earnings. Detailed sales reporting and merchandise-planning modules assist Mark’s in mitigating the risks
and uncertainties associated with unseasonable weather and consumer behaviour during the important winter
selling season but cannot eliminate such risks completely because inventory orders, especially for a significant
portion of merchandise purchased offshore, must be placed well ahead of the season.
SportChek is affected by general seasonal trends that are characteristic of the apparel, footwear, and hard goods
industries. SportChek strives to minimize the impact of the seasonality of the business by altering its
merchandise mix at certain times of the year to reflect consumer demand.
Evolving Consumer Behaviour and Shopping Habits
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has seen a further shift in consumer behaviour with an
unprecedented increase in online shopping demand. Failure to provide attractive, user-friendly, and secure digital
platforms that meet the changing expectations of online shoppers could negatively impact the Company’s
reputation, place the Company at a competitive disadvantage and/or have a negative impact on business
operations. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company monitors the competitive landscape, digital evolutions and
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 65
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
eCommerce trends to ensure its strategic initiatives are designed to maintain competitive positioning and continue
to be relevant.
Supply Chain Risk
A substantial portion of the Company’s product assortment is sourced from foreign suppliers, lengthening the
supply chain and extending the time between order and delivery. Canadian Tire Retail, Mark’s, and SportChek
use internal resources and third-party logistics providers to manage the movement of foreign-sourced goods from
suppliers to the Company’s distribution centres and retail stores. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to
potential supply chain disruptions due to foreign supplier failures, pandemics, extreme weather events,
geopolitical risk, raw material and component shortages, labour disruption or insufficient capacity at ports, and
risks of delays or loss of inventory in transit. The Company mitigates these risks by using advanced tracking
systems and visibility tools, effective supplier selection and procurement practices and through strong
relationships with transportation companies and port and other shipping authorities, supplemented by marine
insurance coverage. Key strategic relationships with vendors as well as the capability to utilize inventory across
retail banners have aided the Company’s ability to address customer demand.
Ethical Sourcing Risk
Products that are sourced from factories in less developed countries for which there is a high level of public
scrutiny pertaining to working conditions and labour regulations, introduces a heightened level of reputational and
brand risk to CTC. To mitigate these risks, CTC works with its suppliers to ensure that products are sourced,
manufactured, and transported according to the standards outlined in its Supplier Code of Business Conduct. The
Company also works with the Business Social Compliance Initiative factory audit methodology to assess the
hiring and employment practices, as well as the health and safety standards of its foreign suppliers.
Environmental Risk
Environmental risks relating to the global transition to a net-zero economy and the physical impacts of climate
change affect CTC. The Company monitors those risks and continues to develop strategies and plans in relation
thereto. Environmental risk within CTC also involves the storage, handling, and recycling of certain materials. The
Company has established and follows environmental policies and practices to avoid a negative impact on the
environment, to comply with environmental laws, and protect its reputation. It addresses applicable environmental
stewardship requirements and takes the necessary steps to manage the end-of-first life of product in accordance
with these requirements. CTC’s regulatory compliance program includes environmental reviews and the
remediation of contaminated sites as required, supplemented by environmental insurance coverage.
Commodity Price and Disruption Risk
The operating performance of Petroleum can be affected by fluctuations in the commodity cost of oil. The
wholesale price of gasoline is subject to global oil supply and demand conditions, domestic and foreign political
policy, commodity speculation, global economic conditions, and potential supply chain disruptions from natural
and human-caused disasters or health events such as pandemics. To mitigate this risk to profitability, Petroleum
maintains tight controls over its operational costs and enters into long-term gasoline purchase arrangements with
integrated gasoline wholesalers. Petroleum also enhances profitability through a comprehensive cross-marketing
strategy with other retail banners and higher-margin, ancillary businesses such as convenience store and car
wash sales.
Market Obsolescence Risk
Clothing and apparel retailers are exposed to ever-changing consumers’ fashion preferences. The risk has
increased due to the impact of the pandemic on consumer behaviour. SportChek and Mark’s mitigate this risk
through brand positioning, consumer preference monitoring, demand forecasting and merchandise selection
efforts; as well as the product development process at Mark’s. SportChek offers a comprehensive assortment of
brand-name products under its various banners and partners with strong, national-branded suppliers that
continually evolve their assortments to reflect customer preferences. In addition, SportChek employs a number of
inventory management practices, including certain agreements with vendors to manage unsold product or offer
markdown dollars to offset margin deterioration in liquidating aged inventory. Mark’s specifically targets
consumers of durable everyday casual wear and is less exposed to changing fashions than apparel retailers
offering high-fashion apparel and accessories. Mark’s industrial wear category is exposed to fluctuations in the
resource and construction industry.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
11.2.2 Financial Services Segment Business Risks
Financial Services is exposed to risks in the normal course of its business that have the potential to affect its
operating performance. Certain risks have been further compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. The following
are the business risks most relevant to Financial Services’ operations. Refer to section 11.1 in this MD&A for
further details of the Company’s risk management strategies.
Consumer Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer, for any reason, to fully honour its
financial contractual obligations to Financial Services and arises principally from the Company’s loans receivable.
Financial Services manages credit risks incurred through its business activities by:
• maintaining credit risk management policies, processes and controls;
•
•
employing sophisticated credit-scoring models to constantly monitor the creditworthiness of customers;
using the latest technology to make informed credit decisions for each customer account to limit credit risk
exposure;
adopting technology to improve the effectiveness of the collection process; and
•
• monitoring the macroeconomic environment, especially with respect to consumer debt levels, interest
rates, employment levels, and income levels.
Liquidity and Funding Risk
Liquidity and funding risk is the risk that Financial Services will be unable to meet its funding obligations or obtain
funding at a reasonable cost. Financial Services mitigates its liquidity and funding risk by maintaining diversified
funding sources that include securitization of receivables, broker GIC deposits, retail deposits, and committed
bank lines of credit. Further mitigation is provided by maintaining a pool of high-quality marketable securities that
can be used as a source of liquidity under a short-term stress scenario. Scotiabank has provided CTB with a
$500.0 million unsecured revolving committed credit facility and $1.75 billion in note purchase facilities for the
purchase of senior and subordinated notes issued by GCCT, both of which are committed to October 2025. A
number of regulatory metrics are monitored including the Liquidity Coverage Ratio and Net Cumulative Cash
Flow. Further details on financing sources for Financial Services are included in section 6.5.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk reflects the financial sensitivity of Financial Services to movements in interest rates. Interest rate
exposure may produce favourable or unfavourable effects depending on the nature of the exposure, and the
direction and volatility of interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate exposure is affected by the interest rate sensitivity
of assets and liabilities and would impact net interest income or net economic value performance. A significant
portion of the funding liabilities for Financial Services are fixed rate, which reduces interest-rate risk. A one
percent change in interest rates does not materially affect net interest income or net economic value. Financial
Services also utilizes interest rate hedges to manage its exposure to future increases in interest rates.
Regulatory Risk
Regulatory risk is the risk of negative impact to business activities, earnings or capital, regulatory relationships, or
reputation as a result of failure to comply with or failure to adapt to current and changing regulations or regulatory
expectations. The Bank’s Compliance department is responsible for the development and maintenance of a
regulatory compliance management system. Specific activities that assist the Financial Services segment in
adhering to regulatory standards include communication of regulatory requirements, advice, training, testing,
monitoring, reporting and escalation of control deficiencies.
11.2.3 CT REIT Segment Business Risks
CT REIT is exposed to a number of risks in the normal course of its business that have the potential to affect its
operating performance. The following are the key risks specific to the operations of CT REIT. Please refer to
Section 4 in CT REIT’s Annual Information Form and Section 12.0 Enterprise Risk Management in CT REIT’s
Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended December 31, 2022, which are not incorporated
herein by reference, for a discussion of risks that affect CT REIT’s operations and also to section 11.1 in this
MD&A for further details of the Company’s risk management strategies.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 67
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
External Economic Environment
CT REIT is subject to risks resulting from fluctuations or fundamental changes in the external business
environment, which could include changes in the current and future economic environment, the economic stability
of local markets, geographic and industry concentrations, retail shopping behaviours and habits of consumers,
and increased competition amongst investors, developers, owners, and operators of similar properties.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, government authorities implemented significant assistance programs to
provide economic support to individuals and businesses. While in the short term these measures mitigated some
effects of the pandemic, over the long term they may not be sufficient to fully offset its negative impact or adverse
recessionary conditions.
Key Business Relationship
CT REIT’s relationship with its majority unitholder, CTC, is integral to its business strategy. Key factors inherent in
this relationship include situations where the interests of CTC and CT REIT are in conflict, including dependence
of CT REIT’s revenues on the ability of CTC to meet its rent obligations and renew its tenancies, tenant
concentration, reliance on the services of key personnel including certain CTC personnel, and CTC lease
renewals and rental increases.
Financial
Risks associated with macroeconomic conditions which are highly cyclical and volatile could have a material
effect on CT REIT. Such risks include changes in interest rates, the availability of capital, unit price risks, and CT
REIT’s degree of financial leverage.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Failure to adhere to laws and regulations and changes to laws and regulations applicable to CT REIT’s operations
may have adverse effects, including tax-related risks, regulatory risks, and environmental risks.
Operations
CT REIT is subject to the risk that a direct or indirect loss of operating capabilities may occur due to property,
development, redevelopment and renovation risks, disasters, health events such as pandemics, cyber incidents,
climate change, ineffective business continuity and contingency planning, and talent shortages.
Further government actions in response to COVID-19 could have additional adverse impact on the REIT’s
operations and financial performance.
The health and well-being of CT REIT’s employees, tenants, tenants’ employees and customers, has remained a
top priority throughout the pandemic and the REIT has continued to take necessary measures and precautions to
help protect and support them, reflecting best guidance by government and public health authorities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
12.0 Internal Controls and Procedures
12.1 Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of controls and procedures over the public
disclosure of financial and non-financial information regarding the Company. Such controls and procedures are
designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to Senior
Management on a timely basis, including the CEO and the CFO, so that they can make appropriate decisions
regarding public disclosure.
The Company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures include, but is not limited to, its Disclosure
Corporate Operating Directive, its Codes of Conduct, the effective functioning of its Disclosure Committee,
procedures in place to systematically identify matters warranting consideration of disclosure by the Disclosure
Committee, verification processes for individual financial and non-financial metrics, and information contained in
annual and interim filings, including the consolidated financial statements, MD&A, Annual Information Form, and
other documents and external communications.
As required by CSA National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings
(“NI 52-109”), an evaluation of the adequacy of the design (quarterly) and effective operation (annually) of the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was conducted under the supervision of Management, including
the CEO and the CFO, as at December 31, 2022. The evaluation included documentation review, enquiries and
other procedures considered by Management to be appropriate in the circumstances. Based on that evaluation,
the CEO and the CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the system of disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as at December 31, 2022.
12.2 Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining appropriate internal control over financial
reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes, but is not limited to, detailed policies
and procedures relating to financial accounting, reporting, and controls over systems that process and summarize
transactions. The Company’s procedures for financial reporting also include the active involvement of qualified
financial professionals, Senior Management, and its Audit Committee.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation.
As also required by NI 52-109, Management, including the CEO and the CFO, evaluated the adequacy of the
design (quarterly) and the effective operation (annually) of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
as defined in NI 52-109, as at December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, Management, including the CEO
and the CFO, used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). This evaluation included review of the
documentation of controls, evaluation of the design and testing the operating effectiveness of controls, and a
conclusion about this evaluation. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that the
design and operation of the internal control over financial reporting were effective as at December 31, 2022 in
providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
12.3 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.

results of those actions, and the economic and business outlook for the Company. Often, but not always, forward-
looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”,
“intend”, “believe”, “estimate”, “plan”, “can”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “outlook”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “aspire”,

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
developments, as well as other factors that Management believes to be relevant and reasonable at the date that
such information is disclosed.
By its very nature, forward-looking information requires Management to make assumptions and is subject to
inherent risk factors and uncertainties, which give rise to the possibility that Management’s assumptions,
estimates, analyses, beliefs and opinions may not be correct and that the Company’s expectations and plans will
not be achieved. Examples of material assumptions and Management’s beliefs include, but are not limited to, the
duration and impact of COVID-19 on the Company's operations, liquidity, financial condition, or results, future
economic conditions and related impacts on inflation, consumer spending, interest rates, and foreign exchange
rates, current and future competitive conditions and the Company’s position in the competitive environment,
anticipated cost savings and operational efficiencies as well as anticipated benefits from strategic and other
initiatives, and the availability of sufficient liquidity. Additional assumptions relating to Management’s expectations
with respect to the Company’s strategic investments and operating capital expenditures include: (a) no material
changes in the Company's strategic and capital allocation priorities; (b) no material changes to the Company's
earning prospects and financial leverage; (c) no significant changes to the retail landscape or regulatory
environment; (d) continued availability of skilled talent and source materials to execute on the capital investment
agenda; and (e) continued successful investments in businesses to achieve organic growth and in projects and
initiatives which yield improved asset productivity. Although the Company believes that the forward-looking

complete, such information is necessarily subject to a number of business, economic, competitive and other risk
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Management’s expectations and plans as set forth
in such forward-looking information. Some of the risk factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control
and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, but may cause actual results to differ from the results expressed
by the forward-looking information, include: (a) credit, market, currency, operational, liquidity and funding risks,
including changes in economic conditions, interest rates or tax rates; (b) the ability of the Company to attract and
retain high-quality executives and employees for all of its businesses, Dealers, Petroleum retailers, and Mark’s
and SportChek franchisees, as well as the Company’s financial arrangements with such parties; (c) the growth of
certain business categories and market segments and the willingness of customers to shop at its stores or acquire
the Company’s Owned Brands or its financial products and services; (d) the Company’s margins and sales and
those of its competitors; (e) the changing consumer preferences and expectations relating to eCommerce, online
retailing and the introduction of new technologies; (f) geopolitical risks (including the Russia-Ukraine conflict), and
other developments including changes relating to or affecting economic or trade matters as well as the outbreak
of contagions or pandemic diseases; (g) risks and uncertainties relating to information management, technology,
cyber threats, property management and development, environmental liabilities, supply-chain management,
product safety, competition, seasonality, weather patterns, climate change, commodity prices and business
continuity; (h) the Company’s relationships with its Dealers, franchisees, suppliers, manufacturers, partners and
other third parties; (i) changes in laws, rules, regulations and policies applicable to the Company’s business; (j)
the risk of damage to the Company’s reputation and brand; (k) the cost of store network expansion and retrofits;
(l) the Company’s capital structure, funding strategy, cost management program, and share price; (m) the
Company’s ability to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals; (n) the Company’s ability to complete any
proposed acquisition; and (o) the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits or synergies from its
acquisitions and investments. Additional risk factors related to Management’s expectations with respect to the
Operational Efficiency program include: (a) reduced/lower than forecasted contribution from both executed and
new Operational Efficiency program initiatives; and (b) organizational capacity to execute Operational Efficiency
initiatives. Additional risk factors related to Management’s expectations with respect to the Company’s strategic
investments and operating capital expenditures include: (a) the occurrence of widespread economic restrictions,
construction limitations, or supply chain delays due to, among other events, a global pandemic resurgence; (b)
shortages of raw materials and/or skilled labour required to execute capital investment plans; (c) higher than
expected cost inflation for materials, equipment, and labour required to execute capital investment plans; and (d)
organizational capacity to execute the capital agenda. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important
risk factors and assumptions is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect the Company’s
results. Investors and other readers are urged to consider the foregoing risks, uncertainties, factors and
assumptions carefully in evaluating the forward-looking information and are cautioned not to place undue reliance

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements
The Management of Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited (the "Company") is responsible for the integrity and
reliability of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by Management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and include
amounts based on judgments and estimates. All financial information in our Management's Discussion and
Analysis is consistent with these consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate systems of internal control over financial
reporting. These systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial records are reliable
and form a proper basis for the timely and accurate preparation of financial statements. Management has
assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) and concluded that the Company's internal controls over financial reporting were
effective as at the date of these consolidated statements.
The Board of Directors oversees Management’s responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements
primarily through the activities of its Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of directors who are neither
officers nor employees of the Company. This Committee meets with Management and the Company’s
independent auditors, Deloitte LLP, to review the consolidated financial statements and recommend approval by
the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board of
Directors with respect to the appointment of and, subject to the approval of the shareholders authorizing the
Board of Directors to do so, approving the remuneration and terms of engagement of the Company’s auditors.
The Audit Committee also meets with the auditors, without the presence of Management, to discuss the results
of their audit.
The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Deloitte LLP, in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted auditing standards. Their report is presented on the following page.

CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 75
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited (the “Company”)
and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2022 and January 1,
2022, and the consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income,
consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years ended
December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material
accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as at December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows
for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (“Canadian GAAS”).
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our
other 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.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter description - Impairment of assets
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the recoverable amount of each
cash generating unit to its carrying value. The goodwill balance was $899.5 million as of December 31, 2022, of
which $398.6 million was related to the Helly Hansen cash generating unit (“CGU”). As noted in Note 11, the
recoverable amount of the Helly Hansen CGU is estimated based on fair value less costs of disposal, estimated
using discounted cash flows based on an after-tax discount rate and supported using a market multiple approach.
This requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to the projected revenues and
associated earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) margins, terminal growth
rate, discount rate and guideline public company (“GPC”) multiples. Changes in these assumptions could have a
significant impact on the fair value. The recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded its carrying value as of the
measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.
Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the Helly Hansen CGU,
performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the estimates and assumptions related to the
projected cash flows, terminal growth rate, discount rate and GPC multiples required a high degree of auditor
judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve fair value specialists.
How the Key Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the projected revenues and associated EBITDA margins, terminal growth rate,
discount rate and GPC multiples used by management to estimate the fair value of goodwill for the Helly Hansen
CGU included the following, among others:
• Evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenues and EBITDA margins by comparing
actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
76 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
Independent Auditor’s Report
• Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future revenues and EBITDA margins by
comparing forecasts to:
◦ Historical revenues and operating margins.
◦ Internal communications to management and the board of directors.
◦ Underlying analyses detailing business strategies and growth plans.
◦ Third-party economic research and projected and historical growth of Helly Hansen’s peer group.
• With the assistance of our fair value specialists;
◦ Compared the terminal growth rate to available industry data and expected long term inflation rates.
◦ Evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rate by testing the source information underlying the
determination of the discount rate and developing a range of independent estimates and compared those to
the discount rate used.
◦ Evaluated the reasonableness of the GPC multiples by testing the source information underlying the
estimate and developing an independent estimate of the GPC multiples and compared that to those used
by Management.
Key Audit Matter description - Allowance on credit card loans receivable
The Company’s estimate of allowance on credit card loans receivable is measured using an expected credit loss
(“ECL”) model. As disclosed in Note 2 and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded
$897.1 million in allowances on credit card receivables on its consolidated balance sheet using an ECL. The
allowance on credit card loans receivable represents a complex accounting estimate based on an assessment of
the probability of default (“PD”), exposure at default (“EAD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) of each cardholder.
The Company’s ECL model employs an analysis of historical data, economic indicators and experience of
delinquency and default, to estimate the amount of credit card loans receivable that may default as a result of past
or future events, with certain adjustments for other relevant circumstances influencing the recoverability of these
credit card loans. ECL allowances are measured at amounts equal to either (i) 12-month ECL; or (ii) lifetime ECL
for those credit card loans that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk (“SICR”) since initial
recognition or when there is objective evidence of impairment.
The allowance on credit card loans receivable was identified as a key audit matter given the inherent complexity
of the models, assumptions, judgments and the interrelationship of these variables in measuring the ECL.
Although many estimates and assumptions are required, those with the highest degree of subjectivity and impact
on the allowance are related to the PD, EAD, LGD, SICR, lifetime credit losses, effective interest rate, forward
looking scenarios including the weighting of those scenarios and the application of expert credit judgment. These
matters required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased audit effort, including the involvement of
financial modelling specialists.
How the Key Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to testing the models, assumptions and judgments used by management to estimate
the ECL included the following, among others:
• Evaluated the effectiveness of management’s internal controls related to the credit card portfolio data, the
governance and oversight over the modelled results and the use of expert credit judgment.
• Evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the estimate of ECL.
• With the assistance of financial modelling specialists:
◦ Evaluated the Company’s ECL methodology and key assumptions used for compliance with IFRS.
◦ Evaluated the appropriateness of the methodology and inputs used in the models to estimate PD, EAD,
LGD, SICR, lifetime credit losses, effective interest rate and the design of the forward-looking scenarios
including the weighting of those scenarios.
◦ Evaluated the quantitative assessments of the ECL by comparing management’s estimate of PD to actual
default rates and comparing management’s estimates of EAD and LGD to actual loss experience.
◦ On a sample basis, independently recalculated the ECL.
◦ Evaluated the qualitative assessments included in the ECL by comparing management’s expert credit
judgments against macroeconomic trends and evaluating those judgments to ensure they are reflective of
the credit quality of the credit card portfolio.

The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor’s 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 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 Company’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 Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 GAAS 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 these financial statements. As part of
an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• 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.
78 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
Independent Auditor’s Report
• 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
Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
• 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• 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.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Company 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.
We 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.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Adam Charles Burke.

marks referred to herein appear without the ® or TM symbol.
2. Basis of Preparation
Fiscal Year
The fiscal year of the Company consists of a 52 or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to December
31. The fiscal years for the consolidated financial statements and notes presented for 2022 and 2021 are the 52-
week periods ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively.
Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) using the accounting policies described herein.
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on
February 15, 2023.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following
items, which are measured at fair value:
• financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”);
• financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”);
• derivative financial instruments;
• liabilities for share-based payment plans; and
• initial recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
In addition, the post-employment defined benefit obligation is recorded at its discounted present value.
Functional and Presentation Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“$” or “C$”), the Company’s functional
currency.
Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to
make judgments and estimates that affect:
• the application of accounting policies;
• the reported amounts of assets and liabilities;
• disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities; and
• the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results may differ from estimates made in these consolidated financial statements.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 85
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Judgments are made in the selection and assessment of the Company’s accounting policies. Estimates are used
mainly in determining the measurement of recognized transactions and balances. Estimates are based on
historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed to be reasonable.
Judgments and estimates are often interrelated. The Company’s judgments and estimates are continually re-
evaluated to ensure they remain appropriate. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in
which they are revised and in future periods affected.
While there were no in-store capacity restrictions or closures that impacted the Company this year due to
COVID-19, the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic, in addition to impacts from macroeconomic
conditions on CTC, remain uncertain and Management continues to monitor and assess the impact on the
business and on certain judgments and estimates, including the recoverable amount of goodwill and intangible
assets.
The following are the accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates that the Company believes
could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of Assets
Judgment – The Company uses judgment in determining the grouping of assets to identify its Cash Generating
Units (“CGUs”) for purposes of testing for impairment of property and equipment and goodwill and intangible
assets. The Company has determined that its Retail CGUs comprise individual stores or groups of stores. In
testing for impairment, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGUs that are expected to
benefit from the synergies of the business combination. In testing for impairment of intangibles with indefinite
lives, these assets are allocated to the CGUs to which they relate. Furthermore, on a quarterly basis, judgment is
used in determining whether there has been an indication of impairment, which would require the completion of a
quarterly impairment test, in addition to the annual requirement.
Estimation – The Company’s estimate of a CGU’s or group of CGUs’ recoverable amount, based on value in use
(“VIU”), involves estimating future cash flows before taxes. Future cash flows are estimated based on multi-year
extrapolation of the most recent historical actual results or budgets and a terminal value is calculated by
discounting the final year in perpetuity. The growth rate applied to the terminal value is based on the Bank of
Canada’s target inflation rate or Management’s estimate of the growth rate specific to the item being tested. The
future cash flow estimates are then discounted to their present value using an appropriate discount rate that
incorporates a risk premium specific to each business.
The Company’s determination of a CGU’s or group of CGUs’ recoverable amount based on fair value less cost to
sell (“FVLCS”) uses factors such as royalty rates or market rental rates for comparable assets or estimates using
discounted cash flows based on an after-tax discount rate, consistent with the assumptions that a market
participant would make. When using discounted cash flows based on an after-tax discount rate, the values
assigned to the key assumptions represent Management’s assessment of future trends in the relevant industry
and are based on historical data from both external and internal sources, including review of historical and
forecast growth rates, long-term inflationary and nominal Gross Domestic Product growth estimates for the
primary countries in which a CGU or group of CGUs operates, consistent with the assumptions that a market
participant would make.
Fair Value Measurement of Redeemable Financial Instrument
Judgment – The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value measurement of the redeemable financial
instrument issued in conjunction with the sale of a 20 percent equity interest in the Company’s Financial Services
business. In calculating the fair value, judgment is used when determining the discount and growth rates applied
to the forecast earnings in the discounted cash flow valuation. When considered appropriate, secondary market-
based approaches are also used. Refer to Note 33 for further information regarding this financial instrument.
Estimation – The inputs to determine the fair value are taken from observable markets where possible but, where
they are unavailable, assumptions are required in establishing fair value. The fair value of the redeemable
financial instrument is determined based on the Company’s best estimate of forecast earnings attributable to the
Financial Services business, adjusted for any undistributed earnings.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Merchandise Inventories
Estimation – Merchandise inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The estimation of
net realizable value is based on the most reliable evidence available of the amount the merchandise inventories
are expected to realize. Additionally, estimation is required for inventory provisions due to shrinkage.
Income and Other Taxes
Judgment – In calculating current and deferred income and other taxes, the Company uses judgment when
interpreting the tax rules in jurisdictions where the Company operates. The Company also uses judgment in
classifying transactions and assessing probable outcomes of claimed deductions, which considers expectations of
future operating results, the timing and reversal of temporary differences and possible audits of income tax and
other tax filings by tax authorities.
Consolidation
Judgment – The Company uses judgment in determining the entities that it controls and consolidates accordingly.
An entity is controlled when the Company has power over an entity, exposure or rights to variable returns from its
involvement with the entity, and is able to use its power over the entity to affect its return from the entity. The
Company has power over an entity when it has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities, which are the activities that significantly affect investees’ returns. Since power comes from rights,
power can result from contractual arrangements. However, certain contractual arrangements contain rights that
are designed to protect the Company’s interest, without giving it power over the entity.
Allowance on Loans Receivable
Estimation – The Company’s estimate of allowances on credit card loans receivable is based on an Expected
Credit Loss (“ECL”) approach that employs an analysis of historical data, economic indicators and experience of
delinquency and default to estimate the amount of loans that may default as a result of past or future events, with
certain adjustments for other relevant circumstances influencing the recoverability of these loans receivable.
Impairment of loans is assessed based on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since
origination and incorporation of forward-looking information in the measurement of expected credit losses.
Default rates, loss rates and the expected timing of future recoveries are periodically benchmarked against actual
outcomes to ensure that they remain appropriate. Future customer behaviour may be affected by several factors,
including changes in interest and unemployment rates and program design changes.
Post-Employment Benefits
Estimation – The accounting for the Company’s post-employment benefit plan requires the use of assumptions.
The accrued benefit liability is calculated using actuarial data and the Company’s best estimates of future salary
escalations, retirement ages of employees, employee turnover, mortality rates, market discount rates and
expected health and dental care costs.
Lease Liabilities
Estimation – For the measurement of lease liabilities, Management considers all factors that create an economic
incentive to exercise extension options, or not exercise termination options available in its leasing arrangements.
Extension options, or periods subject to termination options, are only included in the lease term if Management
determines it is reasonably certain to be extended or not terminated. The assessment is reviewed if a significant
event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control
of the lessee.
The Company generally uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate when initially recording property leases.
For property leases, the implicit rates are not readily available as information from the lessor regarding the fair
value of underlying assets and initial direct costs incurred by the lessor relating to the leased assets are not
available. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate as the rate of interest that the lessee would
pay to borrow over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar
value to the right-of-use-asset in a similar economic environment.

Other
Other estimates include determining the useful lives and depreciation methods applied to investment property and
intangible assets for the purposes of depreciation and amortization; in accounting for and measuring items such
as deferred revenue, provisions, and purchase price adjustments on business combinations; and in measuring
certain fair values, including those relating to the valuation of business combinations, share-based payments and
financial instruments.
Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Issued and Adopted
Improving Accounting Policy Disclosures
In the current quarter, the Company early adopted Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and
IFRS Practice Statement 2), issued in February 2021. The amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial
Statements (“IAS 1”) require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their
significant accounting policies. The amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 provide guidance on how to apply
the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The Company has applied these changes in the
current period. For further information refer to Note 3.
Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction
In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 – Income Taxes to specify how companies
account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. In specific
circumstances, companies are exempt from recognizing deferred tax when they recognize assets or liabilities for
the first time. Previously, there had been some uncertainty about whether the exemption applied to transactions
such as leases and decommissioning obligations transactions for which companies recognize both an asset and a
liability. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognize
deferred tax on such transactions. The aim of the amendments is to reduce diversity in the reporting of deferred
tax on leases and decommissioning obligations. The Company has assessed there to be no material impact on
deferred taxes as a result of the amendment. The Company early adopted this amendment during the year.
Software as a Service (“SaaS”) Arrangements
The IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) published a final agenda decision in April 2021, clarifying how to
recognize certain configuration and customization expenditures relating to implementing SaaS arrangements. A
review of the Company’s accounting for SaaS projects was undertaken in light of the guidance. The Company
refined its accounting policy to align with the IFRIC and capitalizes implementation costs associated with activities
that create and meet the criteria of an intangible asset under IFRS. Costs not qualifying for capitalization have
been expensed in the current period. The Company has assessed the impact of this interpretation and determined
there to be no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Issued but not yet Adopted
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued but are not effective for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2022 and, accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial
statements.
Insurance Contracts
In May 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts
(“IFRS 17”), which replaces IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts and establishes a new model for recognizing insurance
policy obligations, premium revenue, and claims-related expenses. In June 2020, the IASB issued ‘Amendments
to IFRS 17’ to address concerns and implementation challenges identified after IFRS 17 was published in 2017.
The amendments also deferred the effective date for two years to January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company has assessed the impacts of adopting IFRS 17 and determined there to be no material impact on
the consolidated financial statements.
Clarifying Distinction Between Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”). The amendments to IAS 8 clarify how companies distinguish changes
in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is important because changes in
88 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future transactions and other future events, but changes in
accounting policies are generally also applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events. The
amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is
permitted. The Company assessed the potential impact of the amendment and determined there to be no
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”) relating to sale leaseback
transactions for seller-lessees. The amendment adds a requirement that measuring lease payments or revised
lease payments shall not result in the recognition of a gain or loss that relates to the right-of-use asset retained by
the seller-lessee. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of these amendments.
Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, which specifies that covenants whose compliance is
assessed after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting
date. Instead, the amendments require disclosure of information about these covenants in the notes to the
financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of these amendments.
3. Material Accounting Policy Information
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated
financial statements, except as noted below.
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Canadian Tire Corporation and entities it
controls. An entity is controlled when the Company has the ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity, has
exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and is able to use its power over the
entity to affect its returns from the entity. Refer to Note 15.1 for details of the Company’s significant controlled
entities.
The results of certain subsidiaries that have different year ends have been included in these consolidated financial
statements for the 52-week periods ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022. The year end of CT Real
Estate Investment Trust (“CT REIT”), Helly Hansen Group AS, Franchise Trust and CTFS Holdings Limited and
their subsidiaries is December 31.
Income or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) are attributed to the shareholders of
the Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a
deficit balance on consolidation.
When the proportion of the equity held by non-controlling interests changes, the Company adjusts the carrying
amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect the changes in their relative interest in the
subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair
value of the consideration paid or received are recognized directly in equity and attributed to the shareholders of
the Company.
Business Combinations
The Company applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations by allocating the purchase
price to the fair value of the assets acquired at the acquisition date, with any difference recognized as goodwill.
The purchase price, or the consideration transferred, includes the recognized amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree, the fair value of the assets transferred (including cash), liabilities incurred by the
Company on behalf of the acquiree, the fair value of any contingent consideration and equity interests issued by
the Company.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 89
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company determines the fair value of assets acquired by applying either the cost, market or income
approach that provides the most reliable support for the specific asset. Market approaches are applied to property
and securities that are available in the public market. The cost approach is applied to other major asset classes.
The income approach is applied in calculating the fair value of intangible assets.
Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed immediately.
Joint Arrangement
A joint arrangement is an arrangement in which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the
contractually agreed sharing of control whereby decisions about relevant activities require unanimous consent of
the parties sharing control. A joint arrangement is classified as a joint operation when the parties that have joint
control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities related to the arrangement. The Company’s
interest in a joint operation includes assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses in relation to the joint operation,
along with its share of any assets and liabilities jointly held, and its share of revenue and expenses earned or
incurred jointly.
CT REIT has a one-half interest in Canada Square, a mixed-use commercial property in Toronto, Ontario (“the Co-
Ownership”), pursuant to a Co-Ownership arrangement. The Co-Ownership is a joint arrangement as the material
decisions about relevant activities require unanimous consent of the co-owners. This joint arrangement is a joint
operation as each co-owner has rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities related to the Co- Ownership.
Investments in Joint Ventures and Associates (under the Equity Method)
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to
the net assets of the arrangement. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence,
which is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or
joint control of those policies.
The Company accounts for its interest in associates and joint ventures using the equity method and presents its
interests in long-term receivables and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the equity method,
the investment is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the
investors’ share of the investee’s net assets; through profit and loss and other comprehensive income
respectively. The investment is reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there are any
indicators of impairment. If such evidence exists, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the
carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount of the investment. Impairment losses are recorded in other
income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Functional and Presentation Currency
Each of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries determines its own functional currency with transactions of each
foreign subsidiary measured using that functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a
functional currency other than the Canadian dollar are translated to the Canadian dollar presentation currency at
the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates
during the period. Exchange differences are accumulated as a component of equity. On the disposal of a foreign
operation, or the loss of control, the component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) relating to
that foreign operation is reclassified to net income.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the entity’s functional currency at rates in effect at the date
of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into the entity’s functional
currency at the closing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms
of historical cost are translated into the entity’s functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the original
transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from translation are recorded in Other (income) expense or Cost of
producing revenue as applicable in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial Instruments
Recognition, Derecognition and Initial Measurement
Financial instruments can include cash, derivatives, or any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity
and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are
recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of a financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
asset expire or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership in the financial
asset to another party without retaining control. Any interest in transferred financial assets created or retained by
the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. A financial liability is derecognized when its contractual
obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire. All financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial
recognition.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial
liabilities, other than financial assets and financial liabilities classified as FVTPL, are added to or deducted from
the fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or
financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized immediately in net income.
Classification at Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement
At initial recognition, and on an ongoing basis, the Company classifies financial assets according to the
Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
Financial assets are classified in one of the following measurement categories: (i) amortized cost, (ii) fair value
through OCI, and (iii) fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified and subsequently
measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities at FVTPL, which are those that either meet the definition
of held for trading or are designated as FVTPL.
Financial Instruments at Amortized Cost, including Impairment
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method with gains
and losses recognized in net income in the period that the liability is derecognized, except for financial liabilities
classified as FVTPL.
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost if both the following conditions are met and they
are not designated as FVTPL:
• the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows; and
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified, or impaired.
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and are
subject to impairment, with a loss allowance, ECL, recognized on either a 12-month or a lifetime ECL basis.
A 12-month ECL represents the loss expected to result from default events that are possible within 12-months of
the reporting date. This 12-month ECL is recognized in the same reporting period as the initial recognition. The
following types of financial assets are measured at 12-month ECL:
• investments determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date with a credit risk rating equivalent to
investment grade; and
• other financial assets, such as loans receivable, for which credit risk has not increased significantly since
initial recognition.
All other financial assets measured at amortized cost are impaired using a lifetime ECL model, which represents
credit losses from all probable default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
The loss allowance is measured at lifetime ECL if there is a significant increase in credit risk, which is assessed
based on changes in the probability of default since initial recognition along with borrower specific qualitative
information, or when the loan is more than 30 days past due. Credit card loans are considered impaired and in
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 91
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
default when they are 90 days past due or there is sufficient doubt regarding the collectability of principal and/or
interest. Where a customer has initiated the consumer proposal insolvency process, the estimated credit card
loans receivable is based on the present value of expected future cash flows outlined in the terms of the
consumer proposal agreement received. Credit card loans over 180 days past due are written down to the
present value of the expected future cash flows.
ECL is calculated as the product of the probability of default, exposure at default and loss given default over the
remaining expected life of the loans and discounted to the reporting date. The ECL model also incorporates
forward-looking information, which increases the degree of judgment required as to how changes in
macroeconomic factors will affect ECLs, such as current and forecast unemployment rates. The methodologies
and assumptions, including any forecasts of future economic conditions, are reviewed regularly.
Financial Instruments at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income
Financial assets are classified as FVOCI when the financial asset meets the business model objective by both
collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give
rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Financial assets, in the form
of equity instruments, can be designated as FVOCI or otherwise default as FVTPL.
Financial instruments classified as FVOCI are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other
comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Financial Instruments at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
All financial assets not classified as amortized cost, or designated as FVOCI, are measured at FVTPL. This
includes derivative financial assets that are not part of a designated hedging relationship. Financial liabilities,
including derivative liabilities and the redeemable financial instrument, are classified as FVTPL when the financial
instrument is either held for trading or designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial instruments are
classified as held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future or if part of an
identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of
short-term profit-making.
Financial instruments classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in net
income in the period they arise, to the extent they are not part of the effective portion of a designated hedging
relationship.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into various derivatives as part of a strategy to manage its foreign currency and interest rate
exposures. The Company also enters into equity derivative contracts to hedge a portion of future share-based
payment expenses. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading purposes.
All derivative instruments are measured at fair value including embedded derivatives contained within financial or
non-financial contracts that are not closely related to the host contract. The gain or loss that results from
remeasurement at each reporting period is immediately recognized in net income unless the derivative qualifies
and is designated as a hedging instrument, in which case the timing of the recognition in net income depends on
the nature of the hedge relationship.
Cash Flow Hedges
For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative, net of taxes,
is recognized in OCI, while the ineffective and unhedged portions are recognized immediately in net income.
Amounts recorded in AOCI are reclassified to net income in the periods when the hedged item affects net income.
When a forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, the gains
and losses previously recognized in AOCI are directly transferred from AOCI to the initial measurement of the cost
of the non-financial asset or liability.
When hedge accounting is discontinued, there is no further deferral of changes in market value of the derivative to
OCI. The amounts previously deferred remain in AOCI until the cash flows relating to underlying exposure affects
92 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
net income; at this time the related AOCI is reclassified to net income. If hedge accounting is discontinued due to
the hedged item no longer expected to occur, the amount previously deferred in AOCI is immediately reclassified
to net income.
The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts to hedge the exposure against foreign currency
risk on the future payment of foreign-currency-denominated inventory purchases and expenses. The critical
terms of the foreign currency derivative contracts align with the hedged item on a 1:1 basis. Hedge
ineffectiveness may arise if the timing of the hedged transactions changes from the original estimate. Once the
inventory is received, the Company transfers the related AOCI amount to merchandise inventories and
subsequent changes in the fair value of the foreign currency derivative contracts are recorded in net income as
they occur. When the expenses are incurred, the Company reclassifies the related AOCI amount to the expense.
The Company enters into interest rate swap and swaption contracts to hedge the exposure against interest rate
risk on the future interest payments of certain debt issuances. Entering into these hedge contracts enables the
Company to manage its interest rate risk on future interest payments of certain debt issuances.
The critical terms of the interest rate swap and swaptions contracts align with the hedged item and have a 1:1
hedge ratio. In accordance with IFRS 9, the Company designates the change in fair value of the intrinsic value of
the instrument as the hedging instrument. Change in the fair value of the time value of the option is also deferred
in OCI and is amortized to the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of net finance cost over the
term of the debt on a systematic and rational basis over the period during which the underlying interest of the
underlying debt affects profit or loss. Hedge ineffectiveness may arise if the timing of the hedged transactions
changes from the original estimate. When the interest expense is incurred, the Company reclassifies the related
AOCI amount to net finance costs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash plus highly liquid and rated certificates of deposit or commercial
paper with an original term to maturity of three months or less.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments are investments in highly liquid and rated certificates of deposit, commercial paper or
other securities, primarily Canadian and United States government securities and notes of other creditworthy
parties, with an original term to maturity of more than three months and remaining term to maturity of less than
one year. The Company’s exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risks relating to other investments is
disclosed in Note 5.
Trade and Other Receivables
The Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECL for trade and other receivables. It is estimated
based on the Company’s historical loss experience, adjusted for factors specific to the debtors and an
assessment of both the current and forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date. The loss and any
subsequent recoveries of amounts written off, are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in
the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable consists of credit card loans, as well as loans to certain Dealers, who are independent third-
party operators of Canadian Tire stores. Impairment losses are recorded in Cost of producing revenue in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
Long-Term Investments
Investments in highly liquid and rated securities with a remaining term to maturity of greater than one year are
classified as long-term investments. The Company’s exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risks relating
to other investments is disclosed in Note 5.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 93
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Debt
Debt is classified as current when the Company expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle, it holds
the liability primarily for the purpose of trading, the liability is due to be settled within 12 months after the date of
the Consolidated Balance Sheets, or it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for
at least 12 months after the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Merchandise Inventories
Merchandise inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the
estimated selling price of inventory during the normal course of business less estimated selling expenses.
The cost of merchandise inventories is determined based on weighted average cost and includes costs incurred
in bringing the merchandise inventories to their present location and condition. All inventories are finished goods.
Cash consideration received from vendors is recognized as a reduction to the cost of related inventory, unless the
cash consideration received is either a reimbursement of incremental costs incurred by the Company or a
payment for assets or services delivered to the vendor.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include goodwill, indefinite life and finite life intangible assets.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is measured at cost less
any accumulated impairment and is not amortized.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment and are not
amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are measured at cost and are amortized on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives, generally for a period of two to ten years.
Expenditures on research activities are expensed as incurred.
Investment Property
Investment property is property held to earn rental income or for appreciation of capital or both. The Company
has determined that properties it provides to its Dealers, franchisees and agents are not investment property as
they relate to the Company’s operating activities. This was determined based on certain criteria such as whether
the Company provides significant ancillary services to the lessees of the property. The Company includes
property that it leases to third parties (other than Dealers, franchisees, or agents) in investment property.
Investment property is measured and depreciated in the same manner as property and equipment.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
except for land and properties during construction which are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment.
The cost of an item of property or equipment includes initial estimates of the cost of dismantling and removing the
item and restoring the site on which it is located. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the
following estimated useful lives:
Asset Category
Buildings
Fixtures and equipment (including software intangible assets)
Leasehold improvements
Estimated Useful Lives
10 – 45 years
3 – 25 years
Shorter of term of lease or estimated useful life
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized.
Qualifying assets are those that require a minimum of three months to prepare for their intended use. All other
borrowing costs are recognized in Cost of producing revenue or in Net finance costs in the Consolidated
Statements of Income in the period in which they are incurred.
94 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Leased Assets
Lessee
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of a contract. Leases are
recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the commencement date.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost which is calculated as the amount of the initial measurement of lease
liability plus any lease payments made on or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs and related
restoration costs. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease
term and the useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost
of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use
asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement
date of the lease.
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments),
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under
residual value guarantees, and where the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option, the exercise price of
that purchase option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease. The lease liability is net of lease
incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that
rate cannot be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The period over which the lease
payments are discounted is the lease term, including renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to
exercise. Renewal options are included in a number of leases across the Company. Each lease payment draws
down the lease liability while the unwinding of the discount is reflected as a finance cost. The finance cost is
recognized in net finance costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income over the lease period to produce a
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Payments associated with short-term leases, with a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases of low-value
assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis in selling, general and administrative expenses in
the Consolidated Statements of Income. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate or
subject to a fair market value renewal are expensed as incurred and recognized in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Lessor
When the Company is the lessor in an operating lease, rental income is recognized in net income on a straight-
line basis over the term of the lease.
Subleases
When the Company enters into sublease arrangements as an intermediate lessor, it determines whether the
sublease is a finance sublease or operating sublease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head
lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sublease as two
separate contracts. A sublease is a finance sublease if substantially all the risks and rewards of the related head
lease right-of-use asset have been transferred to the sub-lessee.
For finance subleases, the Company derecognizes the corresponding right-of-use asset and records a net
investment in the finance sublease and corresponding interest income is recognized in net finance costs. The net
investment in the sublease is recognized in trade and other receivables and long-term receivables and other
assets.
Impairment of Assets
The property and equipment, investment property, right-of-use assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives
are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. If indicators exist, then the
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.
Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are not
amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually or whenever there is an indicator that the asset may be
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 95
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
impaired. These assets do not generate their own cashflows, as a result goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives, and intangible assets not yet available for use are allocated to the CGUs, or groups of CGUs (such
as the Company’s banners identified in Note 6 Operating Segments), to which they relate. A CGU is the smallest
identifiable group of assets whose continuing use generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash
inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Once allocated, the recoverable amount of the CGU is estimated
for impairment testing.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is defined as the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value
in use. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value, using a discount
rate that includes a risk premium specific to each line of business. The Company estimates cash flows which are
extrapolated over a period of up to five years adding a terminal value calculated by discounting the final year in
perpetuity. The growth rate applied to the terminal values is based on the Bank of Canada’s target inflation rate or
a growth rate specific to the individual item being tested based on Management’s estimate.
An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, or of the CGU to which it belongs,
exceeds the recoverable amount and is recognized in other expense (income) in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. Any impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU
and then to the other assets of the CGU. Impairments of goodwill cannot be reversed. Impairments of other
assets recognized in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine if the indicators
of impairment have reversed or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the estimated recoverable
amount exceeds the carrying amount; however, the resulting carrying amount may not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment been recognized in prior periods.
Employee Benefits
Short-Term Benefits
The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for short-term benefits such as bonuses, profit-sharing and
employee stock purchases if the Company has a present legal obligation or constructive obligation to pay these
amounts as a result of past service provided by the employees.
Post-Employment Benefits
The Company provides certain health care, dental care, life insurance and other benefits, but not pensions, for
certain retired employees pursuant to Company policy. The Company accrues the cost of these employee
benefits over the periods in which the employees earn the benefits. The cost of employee benefits earned is
actuarially determined using the projected benefit method prorated on length of service and Management’s best
estimate of retirement ages of employees, employee turnover, life expectancy, and expected health and dental
care costs. The costs are discounted at a rate that is based on market rates as at the measurement date.
Actuarial gains and losses are recorded in OCI.
The Company also provides post-employment benefits with respect to contributions to a Deferred Profit Sharing
Plan (“DPSP”).
Share-Based Payments
Stock options are granted to employees allowing the recipient to exercise the stock option or receive a cash
payment equal to the difference between the market price of the Company’s Class A Non-Voting Shares as at the
exercise date and the exercise price of the stock option. These stock options are considered to be compound
instruments. The fair value of compound instruments is measured at each reporting date, taking into account the
terms and conditions on which the rights to cash or equity instruments are granted. The corresponding expense
and liability are recognized over the respective vesting period.
The fair value of the amount payable to employees with respect to share unit plans and trust unit plans, settled in
cash, is recorded as the services are provided over the vesting period. The fair value of the liability is remeasured
at each reporting date with the change in the liability being recognized in selling, general and administrative
expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
96 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period. Where the effect of discounting 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.
The provision for sales and warranty returns relates to the Company’s obligation for defective goods in current
store inventories and defective goods sold to customers that have yet to be returned, after-sales service for
replacement parts and future corporate store sales returns. Accruals for sales and warranty returns are estimated
on the basis of historical returns and are recorded as a reduction to revenue.
Site restoration and decommissioning provisions arise from legal or constructive obligations associated with the
removal of underground fuel storage tanks and site remediation costs on the retirement of certain property and
equipment and with the termination of certain lease agreements. The obligations are initially measured using an
expected value approach and are discounted to present value.
Share Capital
Shares issued by the Company are recorded at the value of proceeds received. Repurchased shares are
removed from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in net income on the purchase, sale, issue, or cancellation of
the Company’s shares. Share purchases are charged to Share capital at the average cost per share outstanding
and the excess between the purchase price and the average cost is allocated to retained earnings.
Revenue
Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods includes merchandise sold to Dealers, Mark’s, SportChek1 and Party City2
franchisees, the sale of gasoline through agents, the sale of goods to the general public by Mark’s, PartSource,
SportChek, Helly Hansen as well as the sale of goods through Helly Hansen’s wholesale channels. This revenue
is recognized when the goods are delivered, less an estimate for sales and warranty returns. Revenue from the
sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received less an appropriate deduction for actual
and expected returns, discounts, rebates and warranty and customer loyalty program costs, net of sales taxes.
Customer Loyalty Programs
Loyalty reward credits issued as part of a sales transaction result in revenue being deferred until the loyalty
reward is redeemed. In addition, an obligation arises from the loyalty program when the Company sells
merchandise to the Dealers, for which reward credits may be issued as part of the subsequent sales transaction.
The obligation is measured at fair value by reference to the fair value of the rewards that could be redeemed and
based on the estimated probability of their redemption.
Interest Income on Loans Receivable
Interest income, including interest charged on loans receivable, is determined using the effective interest method.
Services Rendered
Service revenue includes merchant, interchange and processing fees; cash advance fees; foreign exchange fees;
and service charges on the loans receivable of the Financial Services operating segment. Service revenue is
recognized according to the contractual provisions of the arrangement, which is generally when the service is
provided or over the contractual period.
Merchant, interchange and processing fees, cash advance fees and foreign exchange fees on credit card
transactions are recognized as revenue at the time transactions are completed.
1 “SportChek” refers to the retail business carried on by FGL Sports Ltd., including stores operated under the SportChek, Sports Experts, Atmosphere, National
Sports, Sports Rousseau and Hockey Experts names and trademarks.
2 “Party City” refers to the party supply business that operate under the Party City name and trademarks in Canada.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 97
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Reinsurance Revenue
Reinsurance premiums are recorded on an accrual basis and are included in net income on a pro rata basis over
the life of the insurance contract, with the unearned portion deferred in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Premiums subject to adjustment are estimated based on available information. Any variances from the estimates
are recorded in the periods in which they become known.
Royalties and Licence Fees
Royalties and licence fees include licence fees from Petroleum agents and Dealers and royalties from Mark’s and
SportChek franchisees. Royalties and licence fee revenues are recognized as they are earned in accordance
with the substance of the relevant agreement, which is generally based on percentage of sales.
Rental Income
Rental income from operating leases where the Company is the lessor is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the terms of the respective leases.
Vendor Rebates
The Company records cash consideration from vendors as a reduction in the price of vendors’ products and
recognizes it as a reduction to the cost of related inventory or, if the related inventory has been sold, to the cost of
producing revenue. Certain exceptions apply where the cash consideration received is either a reimbursement of
incremental selling costs incurred by the Company or a payment for assets or services delivered to the vendor, in
which case the cost is reflected as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company recognizes rebates that are at the vendor’s discretion when the vendor either pays the rebates or
agrees to pay them.
Net Finance Costs
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested and interest income on lease receivables for finance
subleases. Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings (including borrowings relating to the Dealer Loan
Program), unwinding of the discount on provisions, as well as finance cost on lease liabilities and is net of
borrowing costs that have been capitalized. Interest on deposits is recorded in cost of producing revenue in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
Income Taxes
The income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is
recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized either in OCI or directly in equity,
for which the income tax expense is recognized in OCI or in equity, respectively.
The income tax expense is calculated based on the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred income tax is recognized using the liability method for unused tax losses, unused tax benefits and
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts.
However, deferred income tax is not recognized if it arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination that, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable income, and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible
temporary differences. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset
is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be
available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on
temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the
98 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference
will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company
by the weighted average number of Common and Class A Non-Voting shares outstanding during the reporting
period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the shareholders of the
Company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the effects of all potentially dilutive
equity instruments, which comprise employee stock options.
4. Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are:
• ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations when due and to execute its operating and
strategic plans;
• maintaining healthy liquidity reserves and the ability to access additional capital from multiple sources, if
required; and
• minimizing the after-tax cost of capital while taking into consideration current and future industry, market and
economic risks and conditions.
The definition of capital varies from company to company, industry to industry and for different purposes. In the
process of managing the Company’s capital, Management includes the following items in its definition of capital,
which includes Glacier Credit Card Trust (“GCCT”) indebtedness but excludes Franchise Trust indebtedness
because it is a legal liability of the Dealers:

The Company monitors its capital structure by measuring debt-to-earnings ratios and manages its debt service
and other fixed obligations by tracking its interest and other coverage ratios and forecasting corporate liquidity.
The Company manages its capital structure over the long term to optimize the balance among capital efficiency,
financial flexibility, and risk mitigation. Management calculates ratios to approximate the methodologies of credit-
rating agencies and other market participants on a current and prospective basis. To assess its effectiveness in
managing capital, Management monitors these ratios against targeted ranges.
The Company has a policy to manage capital. As part of the overall management of capital, Management and the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors review the Company’s compliance with and performance against, the
policy. In addition, periodic review of the policy is performed to ensure consistency with risk tolerances.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company has the flexibility to adjust discretionary capital
spending, adjust the amount of credit card loans receivables outstanding, issue debt or equity, early redeem

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
outstanding debt, purchase the Company’s Class A Non-Voting Shares, adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, monetize various assets, and engage in sale and leaseback transactions of real estate properties.
Financial covenants are reviewed by Management on an ongoing basis to monitor compliance.
The key financial covenant for Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited is a requirement for the Retail segment to
maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization equal to or lower than a specified maximum
percentage (as defined in the Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited’s bank credit agreements, but which excludes
consideration of CTFS Holdings Limited, CT REIT, Franchise Trust, and their respective subsidiaries). Canadian
Tire Corporation, Limited was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit agreements as at
December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022.
Helly Hansen is required to comply with covenants established under its bank credit agreements, and was in
compliance with all financial covenants thereunder as at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
CT REIT is required to comply with covenants established under its Declaration of Trust, Trust Indenture and bank
credit agreement and was in compliance with all financial covenants thereunder as at December 31, 2022 and
2021.
Canadian Tire Bank (“CTB” or “the Bank”), a federally chartered Schedule I bank, is required to comply with
regulatory requirements for capital, other regulatory requirements that have an impact on its business operations
and certain financial covenants established under its bank credit agreements.
CTB manages its capital under guidelines established by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions
of Canada (“OSFI”). OSFI’s regulatory capital guidelines are based on the international Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision framework entitled Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and
Banking Systems (“Basel III”), which came into effect in Canada on January 1, 2013, and measures capital in
relation to credit, market, and operational risks. The Bank has various capital policies, procedures, and controls in
place, including an annual Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”), which it utilizes to achieve
its goals and objectives.
The Bank’s objectives include:
• maintaining strong capital ratios, as measured by regulatory guidelines and internal targets; and
• holding sufficient capital to maintain the confidence of investors and depositors.
OSFI’s regulatory capital guidelines under Basel III allow for two tiers of capital. Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”)
capital includes common shares, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income, less
regulatory adjustments deducted from capital. The Bank currently does not hold any additional Tier 1 capital
instruments. Tier 2 capital consists of the eligible portion of general allowances. Risk-weighted assets (“RWAs”)
include a credit risk component for all on-balance sheet assets weighted for the risk inherent in each type of
asset, off-balance sheet financial instruments, an operational risk component based on a percentage of average
risk-weighted revenues and a market-risk component for assets held for trade. For the purposes of calculating
RWAs, securitization transactions are considered off-balance sheet and, therefore, except for CTB’s retained
exposures, are not included in the RWAs calculation.
The leverage ratio prescribed by OSFI’s Leverage Requirements Guideline provides an overall measure of the
adequacy of an institution’s capital and is defined as the all-in Tier 1 capital divided by the leverage exposure.
The leverage ratio exposure is the sum of on-balance sheet exposures, derivative exposures, securities financing
transaction exposures, and a portion of unused credit limits.
As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, CTB complied with all regulatory capital guidelines established by OSFI and
its internal targets as determined by its ICAAP.

5. Financial Risk Management
5.1 Overview
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
• credit risk;
• liquidity risk; and
• market risk (including foreign currency and interest rate risk).
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the foregoing risks and the Company’s
objectives, policy and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included
throughout these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
5.2 Risk Management Framework
The Company’s Board-approved Financial Risk Management Policy serves to identify and analyze the risks faced
by the Company, to set acceptable risk tolerance limits and controls, and monitor risks and adherence to limits.
The financial risk management strategies and systems are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain consistent
with the objectives and risk tolerance acceptable to the Company and current market trends and conditions. The
Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to uphold a disciplined and
constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
5.3 Credit Risk
Credit risk, the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual
obligations, arises principally from operations of the Bank’s credit card loan portfolio, CTC’s interaction with its
Dealer and franchisee networks, and financial instruments, which are discussed in more detail below.
5.3.1 Financial Instrument Counterparty Credit Risk
The Company's Financial Risk Management Policy manages counterparty credit risk relating to cash balances,
investment activity, and the use of financial derivatives. The Company limits its exposure to counterparty credit
risk by transacting only with highly-rated financial institutions and other counterparties and by managing within
specific limits for credit exposure and term-to-maturity. The Company’s financial instrument portfolio is spread
across financial institutions, provincial and federal governments and, to a lesser extent, corporate issuers that are
at least dual rated and have a lowest (if dual rated) or median (if three or more ratings) credit rating in the “A(low)”
equivalent category or better and asset-backed issuers that are at least dual rated and have credit ratings in the
“AAA” equivalent category.
5.3.2 Consumer and Dealer/Franchisee Credit Risk
Through the granting of credit cards, the Company assumes certain risks with respect to the ability and
willingness of the Bank’s customers to repay loans owing to it. In addition, the Company is required to provide
credit enhancement to Franchise Trust in the form of standby letters of credit (“LCs”) issued by highly-rated
financial institutions and guaranteed by the Company to achieve the required “AAA” equivalent credit rating of the
funding of the Dealer loan portfolio and may also provide guarantees of third-party bank debt agreements or
inventory buy-back agreements, with respect to the bank financing of certain Dealers and franchisees (Note 34).
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk, over and above amounts recognized in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets, include the following:

5.4 Liquidity Risk
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 that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal
circumstances, with the ability to react under some uncertainty. The Company’s Financial Risk Management
Policy serves to manage its exposure to liquidity risk. The Company uses a detailed consolidated cash flow
forecast model to regularly monitor its near-term and longer-term cash flow requirements, which assists in
optimizing its short-term cash and indebtedness position while evaluating longer-term funding and capital
allocation strategies.
In addition, CTB has an Asset Liability Management Policy. It is CTB’s objective to ensure the availability of
adequate funds by maintaining a strong liquidity management framework and satisfy all applicable regulatory and
statutory requirements.
Provided by a syndicate of seven Canadian and three international financial institutions, $1.975 billion in an
unsecured committed bank line of credit is available to CTC for general corporate purposes, expiring in June
2027.
Provided by a syndicate of seven Canadian financial institutions, $300.0 million in an unsecured committed bank
line of credit is available to CT REIT for general business purposes, expiring in September 2027.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”) has provided CTB with a $500.0 million unsecured committed bank line
of credit and $1.75 billion in committed securitized note purchase facilities for the purchase of senior and
subordinated credit card asset-backed notes issued by GCCT, each of which expire in October 2025.
Provided by a syndicate of five Canadian financial institutions, $300.0 million in a committed liquidity facility
provides backstop protection to GCCT’s Series 1997-1 credit card asset-backed commercial paper (“ABCP”)
program, expiring in June 2025.
In addition to the unsecured committed bank lines of credit outlined above, the Company has access to additional
funding sources including internal cash generation, access to public and private financial markets, and the
monetization of various assets. Assets of CTB are funded through internal cash generation, unsecured committed
bank line of credit outlined above, the securitization of credit card loans receivable using GCCT, broker
guaranteed investment certificate (“GIC”) deposits and retail deposits (including GIC and High-Interest Savings
[“HIS”] accounts). CTB also holds high quality liquid assets, as required by regulators, which are available to
address any funding disruptions.
The Company has a U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper (“US CP”) program that allows it to issue up to a
maximum aggregate principal amount of U.S. $1.0 billion of short-term promissory notes in the United States.
Funds can be borrowed under this program with terms to maturity ranging from one to 270 days. Any issuances
made under the program are issued at a discount and the notes rank equally in right of payment with all other
present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations to creditors of the Company.
Due to the diversification of its funding sources, the Company is not overly exposed to concentration risk. The
following table summarizes the Company’s contractual maturities for its financial liabilities, including both principal
and interest payments:

5.5 Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity
prices, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of
market risk management is to manage market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimizing the
return. The Company’s Financial Risk Management Policy establishes guidelines on how the Company is to
manage the market risk inherent to the business and provides mechanisms to ensure business transactions are
executed in accordance with established limits, processes, and procedures.
All such transactions are carried out within the established guidelines and, generally, the Company seeks to apply
hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in its net income.
5.5.1 Foreign Currency Risk
CTC sources merchandise globally. In 2022, approximately 55 percent, 23 percent and 46 percent of the value of
inventory purchases of Canadian Tire, SportChek and Mark’s, respectively, were sourced directly from vendors
outside Canada and denominated in U.S. dollars. The majority of Helly Hansen’s purchases are from vendors in
Asia and are denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros. To mitigate the impact of fluctuating foreign exchange rates
on the cost of these purchases, the Company has an established foreign exchange risk management program
that governs the proportion of forecast U.S. dollar and Euro purchases that are hedged through foreign exchange
derivative contracts. The purpose of the program is to provide certainty with respect to a portion of the foreign
exchange component of future merchandise purchases.
As the Company has hedged a significant portion of the cost of its near-term U.S. dollar-denominated forecast
purchases, a change in foreign currency rates will not materially impact that portion of the cost relating to those
purchases. The Company operates its hedging program on a continual basis to ensure that any sustained
change in rates is reflected in the cost of the Company’s U.S. dollar purchases over the entirety of its hedging
horizon. This ensures that the cost of U.S. dollar purchases is smoothed relative to the foreign exchange market
allowing the Company to defer the impact of sudden exchange rate movements on margins and allow it time to
develop strategies to mitigate the impact of a sustained change in foreign exchange rates. Some vendors have
an underlying exposure to U.S. currency fluctuations which may affect the price they charge the Company for
merchandise, and the Company’s hedging program does not mitigate that risk. While the Company may be able
to pass on changes in foreign currency exchange rates through retail pricing, any decision to do so would be
subject to competitive, market and economic conditions.
5.5.2 Interest Rate Risk
The Company may use interest rate derivatives or exercise its contractual early redemption options for Medium-
Term Notes and Debentures to manage interest rate risk. The Company has a policy whereby, on a consolidated
basis (excluding Franchise Trust), a minimum of 75 percent of its consolidated debt (short-term and long-term) will
be at fixed versus floating interest rates.
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 103
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A one percent change in interest rates would therefore not materially affect the Company’s net income or equity
as the Company has minimal floating interest rate exposure given the indebtedness of the Company is
predominantly at fixed rates.
The Company’s exposure to interest rate changes is predominantly driven by short-term Retail borrowings (on the
bank lines of credit or in the U.S. commercial paper market) and the Financial Services business to the extent that
the interest rates on future issuances of GIC deposits, HIS account deposits, tax-free savings account (“TFSA”)
deposits and securitization transactions are market-dependent. Partially offsetting this could be interest rates
charged on credit cards and a significant portion of the current funding liabilities of Financial Services are at a
fixed rate, which reduces interest rate risk. In addition, CTB has entered into interest rate derivatives to hedge a
portion of its planned issuances of GCCT term debt and GIC deposits in 2023 to 2027. Furthermore, CTB holds
short-term interest-bearing investments held in reserve in support of its liquidity and regulatory requirements.
6. Operating Segments
The Company has three reportable operating segments: Retail, Financial Services, and CT REIT. The reportable
operating segments are strategic business units offering different products and services. They are separately
managed due to their distinct nature. The following summary describes the operations of each of the Company’s
reportable segments:
• The retail business is conducted under a number of banners including Canadian Tire, Canadian Tire Gas
(“Petroleum”), Mark’s, PartSource, Helly Hansen, Party City in Canada and various SportChek banners.
Retail also includes the Dealer Loan Program (the portion [silo] of Franchise Trust that issues loans to certain
Dealers). Non-CT REIT real estate is included in Retail.
• Financial Services issues Canadian Tire's Triangle branded credit cards, including Triangle Mastercard,
Triangle World Mastercard and Triangle World Elite Mastercard. Financial Services also offers Cash
Advantage Mastercard and Gas Advantage Mastercard products, markets insurance products, and provides
settlement services to the Company’s affiliates. Financial Services includes CTB, a federally regulated
Schedule I bank that manages and finances the Company’s consumer Mastercard portfolio, as well as an
existing block of Canadian Tire branded line of credit loans. CTB also offers HIS account deposits, TFSA and
GIC deposits, both directly and through third-party brokers. Financial Services includes GCCT, a structured
entity established to purchase co-ownership interests in the Company’s credit card loans receivable. GCCT
issues debt to third-party investors to fund its purchases.
• CT REIT is an unincorporated, closed-end real estate investment trust. CT REIT holds a geographically-
diversified portfolio of properties mainly comprising Canadian Tire banner stores, Canadian Tire anchored
retail developments, mixed-use commercial property, and industrial properties.

Trade receivables are primarily from Dealers, franchisees and Helly Hansen’s wholesale customers. This is a
large and geographically-dispersed group whose receivables, individually, generally comprise less than one
percent of the total balance outstanding. Other receivables are primarily receivables from vendors and tenants,
and insurance receivables.
Receivables from Dealers are in the normal course of business and include cost and margin-sharing
arrangements. The credit range period on sale of goods is between 1 and 180 days.

4 The long-term portion of loans receivable is included in long-term receivables and other assets and includes Dealer loans of $408.2 million (January 1, 2022 –
$363.4 million).
For the year ended December 31, 2022, cash received from interest earned on credit cards and loans was
$1,070.9 million (January 1, 2022 – $952.3 million).
Loans to Dealers are secured by the Canadian Tire store assets of the respective Dealers’ corporations. The
Company’s exposure to loans receivable credit risk resides at Franchise Trust and at the Bank. No allowances
have been made for Dealer loans given the historical performance and the nature of the collateral. Credit risk at
the Bank is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each credit card customer. The Bank uses
sophisticated credit scoring models, monitoring technology and collection modelling techniques to implement and
manage strategies, policies, and limits that are designed to control risk. Loans receivable are generated by a
large and geographically-dispersed group of customers. Current credit exposure is limited to the loss that would
be incurred if all of the Bank’s counterparties were to default at the same time.

Credit card loans are considered impaired when a payment is over 90 days past due or there is sufficient doubt
regarding the collectability of the outstanding balance. No collateral is held against loans receivable, except for
loans to Dealers, as discussed above. The Bank continues to seek recovery on amounts that were written-off
during the period, unless the Bank no longer has the right to collect, the receivable has been sold to a third party,
or all reasonable efforts to collect have been exhausted.

Glacier Credit Card Trust
GCCT is a structured entity created to securitize the Bank’s credit card loans receivable. The Bank has
transferred co-ownership interest in credit card loans receivable to GCCT and has determined, for the purposes of
accounting, consolidation of GCCT is appropriate. The associated liabilities, as at December 31, 2022 and
January 1, 2022, secured by these assets, include the commercial paper notes and term notes on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets and are carried at amortized cost. The table below sets out the carrying amounts

1 The fair value measurement of credit card loans receivable is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For definitions of the levels refer to Note
33.2.
For legal purposes, the co-ownership interests in the Bank’s credit card loans receivable owned by GCCT have
been sold at law to GCCT and are not available to the creditors of the Bank. Furthermore, GCCT’s liabilities are
not legal liabilities of the Company.
The Bank has not identified any factors arising from current market circumstances that could lead to a need for
the Bank to extend liquidity and/or credit support to GCCT over and above the existing arrangements or that could
otherwise change the substance of the Bank’s relationship with GCCT. There have been no relevant changes in
the capital structure of GCCT since the Bank’s assessment for consolidation.
Franchise Trust
The consolidated financial statements include a portion (silo) of Franchise Trust, a legal entity sponsored by a
third-party bank that originates and services loans to certain Dealers for their purchases of inventory and fixed
assets (“Dealer loans”). The Company has arranged for several major Canadian banks to provide standby LCs to
Franchise Trust as credit support for the Dealer loans. Franchise Trust has sold all its rights in the LCs and
outstanding Dealer loans to other independent trusts set up by major Canadian banks (“Co-owner Trusts”) that
raise funds in the capital markets to finance their purchase of these undivided co-ownership interests. Due to the
retention of substantially all the risks and rewards relating to these Dealer loans, the transfers are accounted for
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 109

as secured financing transactions. Accordingly, the Company continues to recognize the current portion of these
assets in loans receivable and the long-term portion in long-term receivables and other assets and records the
associated liability secured by these assets as loans, being the loans that Franchise Trust has incurred to fund the
Dealer loans. The Dealer loans and Loans are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently carried at
amortized cost.

1 The fair value measurement of Dealer loans is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For definitions of the levels refer to Note 33.2
The Dealer loans have been sold at law and are not available to the creditors of the Company. Loans are not
legal liabilities of the Company.
If a Dealer defaults on a loan, the Company has the right to purchase such loan from the Co-owner Trusts, at
which time the Co-owner Trusts will assign such Dealer’s debt instrument and related security documentation to
the Company. The assignment of this documentation provides the Company with first-priority security rights over
all such Dealer’s assets, subject to certain prior ranking statutory claims.
In most cases, the Company expects to recover any payments made to purchase a defaulted loan, including any
associated expenses. In the event the Company does not choose to purchase a defaulted Dealer loan, the Co-
owner Trusts may draw against the LCs.
The Co-owner Trusts may also draw against the LCs to cover any shortfalls in certain related fees owing to them.
In any case, where a draw is made against the LCs, the Company has agreed to reimburse the bank issuing the
LCs for the amount so drawn. Refer to Note 34 for further information.

acquired private-label brands, represent legal trademarks of the Company with expiry dates ranging from 2023 to
2038 with further renewals at the Company’s election and discretion dependent on use. As the Company
currently has no approved plans to change its store banners and intends to continue to use and renew its
trademarks and private-label brands at each expiry date for the foreseeable future, there is no foreseeable limit to
the period over which the assets are expected to generate net cash inflows. Therefore, these intangible assets
are considered to have indefinite useful lives.
Franchise agreements have expiry dates with options to renew, or have indefinite lives. As the Company intends
to renew these agreements at each renewal date for the foreseeable future, there is no foreseeable limit to the
period over which the franchise agreements and franchise locations will generate net cash inflows. Therefore,
these assets are considered to have indefinite useful lives.
Finite-life intangible assets are amortized over a term of two to 10 years.
Borrowing costs capitalized were $4.5 million (January 1, 2022 – $2.8 million). The capitalization rate used to
determine the amount of borrowing costs capitalized during the year was 4.9 percent (January 1, 2022 – 4.9
percent).
Amortization expense of software and other finite-life intangible assets is included in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Impairment of Intangible Assets and Subsequent Reversal
The Company performed its annual impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets for all CGUs
based on VIU except as noted. The cash flow projections included specific estimates for up to five years and
terminal growth rates to extrapolate cash flow projections beyond the period covered by the most recent
forecasts, except as noted below.
For all goodwill and intangible assets except those noted, the estimated recoverable amount is based on VIU,
which exceeds the carrying amount. A material change in any of the assumptions used in testing goodwill and
intangible assets could cause the carrying amount to exceed the estimated recoverable amount.
During 2022, the recoverable amount of goodwill and intangible assets of Helly Hansen was based on fair value
less costs of disposal, estimated using discounted cash flows based on an after-tax discount rate and supported
by the market multiple approach, under the Guideline Public Company (“GPC”) multiples. The fair value
measurement was categorized as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation technique. The cash
flow projections included specific estimates for seven years, taking into account a terminal value calculated by
discounting the final year in perpetuity. A material change in any of the assumptions used in testing Helly Hansen
goodwill and intangible assets could cause the carrying amount to exceed the estimated recoverable amount.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount for all CGUs are set out below.

2022
8.0 to 11.5 %
2.0 to 3.0 %
2021

There were no impairment charges nor reversal of impairments for indefinite-life and finite-life intangible assets
(January 1, 2022 – nil). There were no impairment charges for goodwill (January 1, 2022 – nil).

Investment property includes $7.0 million (January 1, 2022 – $7.9 million) right-of-use assets related to operating subleases where the Company is an
intermediate lessor.
The investment properties generated rental income of $61.0 million (January 1, 2022 – $56.6 million). Direct
operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) arising from investment property recognized in net
income were $22.1 million (January 1, 2022 – $20.5 million).
The estimated fair value of investment property was $567.8 million (January 1, 2022 – $579.9 million). This
recurring fair value measurement is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 33.2 for
definition of levels). The Company determines the fair value of investment property by applying a pre-tax discount
rate to the annual rental income for the current leases. The discount rate ranged from 4.25 percent to 8.71
percent (January 1, 2022 – 4.25 percent to 9.211 percent). The cash flows are for a term of five years, including a
terminal value. The Company has real estate management expertise that is used to perform the valuation of
investment property and has also completed independent appraisals on certain investment property owned by CT
REIT.
Impairment of Investment Property and Subsequent Reversal
Any impairment or reversals of impairment are reported in other expense (income) in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. There were no impairment losses nor reversal of impairments for investment property
(January 1, 2022 – nil).

No deferred tax is recognized on the amount of temporary differences arising from the difference between the
carrying amount of the investment in subsidiaries, branches and associates and interests in joint arrangements
accounted for in these consolidated financial statements and the cost amount for tax purposes of the investment.
The Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of these temporary differences and believes it is
probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of these taxable temporary differences
was approximately $2.5 billion at December 31, 2022 (January 1, 2022 – $2.5 billion).
No deferred tax asset is recognized for the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent
that it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which to use the unused tax losses and tax
credits. The amount of these deductible temporary differences was approximately $178.8 million at December 31,
2022 (January 1, 2022 – $160.5 million).

120 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to ongoing audits by tax authorities. While the
Company has determined that its tax filing positions are appropriate and supportable, occasionally certain matters
are reviewed and challenged by the tax authorities.
The Company regularly reviews the potential for adverse outcomes with respect to tax matters. The Company
believes that their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on its liquidity, Consolidated Balance
Sheets, or net income because the Company has determined that it has adequate provision for these tax matters.
Should the ultimate tax liability materially differ from the provision, the Company’s effective tax rate and its
earnings could be affected positively or negatively in the period in which the matters are resolved.
17. Deposits
Total deposits of $2,965.7 million (January 1, 2022 - $3,893.7 million) consist of broker deposits and retail
deposits.
Cash from broker deposits is generated from GIC offerings through broker channels rather than direct receipts
from retail customers. Broker deposits are offered for varying terms ranging from 30 days to five years and issued
broker GICs are non-redeemable prior to maturity (except in rare circumstances). Total short-term and long-term
broker deposits outstanding at December 31, 2022, were $2,255.3 million (January 1, 2022 – $2,523.6 million).
Retail deposits consist of HIS deposits, retail GICs and TFSA deposits. Total retail deposits outstanding at
December 31, 2022, were $710.4 million (January 1, 2022 – $1,370.1 million).
For repayment requirements of deposits refer to Note 5.4. The following are the effective rates of interest:

Legal Matters
The Company is party to a number of legal and regulatory proceedings and has determined that each such
proceeding constitutes a routine matter incidental to the business it conducts, and that the ultimate disposition of
the proceedings will not have a material effect on its consolidated net income, cash flows, or financial position.
21. Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings include commercial paper notes issued by the Company and GCCT, note purchase facility
borrowings issued by GCCT, and borrowings on its committed bank lines of credit. Short-term borrowings may
bear interest payable monthly at maturity or be sold at a discount and mature at face value.
The commercial paper notes are short-term notes issued with varying original maturities of one year or less for
GCCT’s ABCP and 270 days or less for the Company’s U.S. CP at interest rates fixed at the time of each renewal
and are recorded at amortized cost. As at December 31, 2022, GCCT had $51.2 million of ABCP outstanding
(January 1, 2022 – $50.1 million) and the Company had $21.7 million of C$ equivalent U.S. CP outstanding
(January 1, 2022 – nil).
As at December 31, 2022, the Company (excluding Helly Hansen) had no borrowings on its unsecured committed
bank lines of credit (January 1, 2022 – nil), Helly Hansen had no borrowings on its committed line of credit

22. Loans
Franchise Trust, a special purpose entity, is a legal entity sponsored by a third-party bank that originates loans to
certain Dealers. Loans are what Franchise Trust incurs to fund Dealer loans, which are secured by such Dealers’
store assets. These loans are not direct legal liabilities of the Company but have been consolidated in the
accounts of the Company as the Company effectively controls the silo of Franchise Trust containing the Canadian
Tire Dealer Loan Program (refer to note 15.1). Loans, which are initially recognized at fair value and are
subsequently measured at amortized cost, are due within one year.

CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 123
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Senior and Subordinated Credit Card Asset-Backed Term Notes (GCCT)
The asset-backed senior and subordinated term notes issued by GCCT are securitized by a co-ownership interest
in a pool of loans receivable that are owing by selected credit card customer accounts of the Bank (“Securitized
Pool”). These notes are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Subject to the payment of certain priority amounts, the senior asset-backed term notes of a series have recourse
on a priority basis to the allocable collections from such series’ co-ownership interest in the Securitized Pool. The
subordinated asset-backed term notes of such series have recourse to such series’ allocable collections on a
subordinated basis to the senior asset-backed term notes of such series in terms of the priority of payment of
principal and, in some circumstances, interest. The entitlement of noteholders and other parties to such assets is
governed by the priority and payment provisions set forth in GCCT’s Trust Indenture dated as of November 29,
1995, as amended, and the related series supplements under which the outstanding series of notes were issued
as well as the series purchase agreements which set forth the Bank’s overcollateralization credit enhancement.
Repayment of the principal of the series 2018-1, 2019-1, 2020-1 and 2022-1 asset-backed term notes is
scheduled for the expected repayment dates indicated in the preceding table. None of the GCCT’s asset-backed
term notes are otherwise early redeemable by GCCT or the Bank. During a contractual liquidation period prior to
the expected repayment date of a particular series’ notes, collections from the Securitized Pool allocable to GCCT
with respect to the liquidating series as well as all outstanding series in their revolving periods will be accumulated
by the custodian. If any amount remained owing after the expected repayment date, collections from the
Securitized Pool allocable to GCCT with respect to the liquidating series as well as any outstanding series in their
revolving periods will be applied to pay such amount until a specified termination date.
Principal repayments may commence earlier than a series’ expected repayment date (an amortization period) if
certain events occur including:
• the Bank failing to make required payments to GCCT or failing to meet covenant or other contractual terms;
• the performance of the Securitized Pool failing to achieve set criteria; and
• insufficient credit card loans receivable in the Securitized Pool.
None of these events occurred in the Bank’s year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Medium-Term Notes and Debentures
Medium-term notes and debentures are unsecured and those issued by the Company and CT REIT with initial
terms greater than two years are redeemable by the Company or CT REIT, as applicable, in whole or in part, at
any time, at the greater of par or a formula price based upon interest rates at the time of redemption.
Mortgages
Mortgages payable as at December 31, 2022 had a weighted average interest rate of 5.49% percent and have
maturity dates that range from March 10, 2023 to March 1, 2026.

25. Employment Benefits
Profit-Sharing Program
The Company has a profit-sharing program for certain employees. The amount awarded to employees is
contingent on the Company’s profitability but shall be equal to at least one percent of the Company’s previous
year’s net profits after income tax. A portion of the award (“Base Award”) is contributed to a DPSP for the benefit
of the employees. The maximum amount of the Company’s Base Award contribution to the DPSP per employee
per year is subject to limits set by the Income Tax Act. Each participating employee is required to invest and
maintain 10 percent of the Base Award in a Company share fund of the DPSP. The share fund holds both
Common Shares and Class A Non-Voting Shares. The Company’s contributions to the DPSP, with respect to
each employee, vest 20 percent after one year of continuous service and 100 percent after two years of
continuous service.
In 2022, the Company contributed $28.0 million (January 1, 2022 – $27.7 million) under the terms of the DPSP.
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company provides certain health care, dental care, life insurance and other benefits to certain retired
employees pursuant to Company policy. The Company does not have a pension plan. Information about the

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Conditions of Class A Non-Voting Shares and Common Shares
The holders of Class A Non-Voting Shares are entitled to receive a fixed cumulative preferential dividend at the
rate of $0.01 per share per annum. After payment of fixed cumulative preferential dividends at the rate of $0.01
per share per annum on each of the Class A Non-Voting Shares with respect to the current year and each
preceding year and payment of a non-cumulative dividend on each of the Common Shares with respect to the
current year at the same rate, the holders of the Class A Non-Voting Shares and the Common Shares are entitled
to further dividends declared and paid in equal amounts per share without preference or distinction or priority of
one share over another.
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, all of the property of the Company
available for distribution to the holders of the Class A Non-Voting Shares and the Common Shares shall be paid or
distributed equally, share for share, to the holders of the Class A Non-Voting Shares and to the holders of the
Common Shares without preference or distinction or priority of one share over another.
The holders of Class A Non-Voting Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of the
shareholders; however, except as provided by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and as hereinafter noted,
they are not entitled to vote at those meetings. Holders of Class A Non-Voting Shares, voting separately as a
class, are entitled to elect the greater of (i) three Directors or (ii) one-fifth of the total number of the Company’s
Directors.
The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of, to attend and to have one vote for each Common
Share held at all meetings of holders of Common Shares, subject only to the restriction on the right to elect those
directors who are elected by the holders of Class A Non-Voting Shares as set out above.
Common Shares can be converted, at any time and at the option of each holder of Common Shares, into Class A
Non-Voting Shares on a share-for-share basis. The authorized number of shares of either class cannot be
increased without the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of each class represented and
voted at a meeting of the shareholders called for the purpose of considering such an increase. Neither the Class
A Non-Voting Shares nor the Common Shares can be changed in any manner whatsoever, whether by way of
subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, exchange, or otherwise, unless at the same time the other class of
shares is also changed in the same manner and in the same proportion.
Should an offer to purchase Common Shares be made to all, or substantially all of the holders of Common
Shares, or be required by applicable securities legislation or by the Toronto Stock Exchange to be made to all
holders of Common Shares in Ontario and should a majority of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding
be tendered and taken up pursuant to such offer, the Class A Non-Voting Shares shall thereupon and thereafter
be entitled to one vote per share at all meetings of the shareholders and thereafter the Class A Non-Voting Shares
shall be designated as Class A Shares. The foregoing voting entitlement applicable to Class A Non-Voting Shares
would not apply in the case where an offer is made to purchase both Class A Non-Voting Shares and Common
Shares at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions.
The foregoing is a summary of certain conditions attached to the Class A Non-Voting Shares of the Company and

27. Share-Based Payments
The Company’s share-based payment plans are described below.
Stock Options
The Company granted stock options to certain employees that enable such employees to exercise those stock
options and subscribe for Class A Non-Voting Shares or surrender their options and receive a cash payment.
Such cash payment is calculated as the difference between the fair market value of Class A Non-Voting Shares as
at the surrender date and the exercise price of the option. Stock options vest over a three-year period. All
outstanding stock options have a term of seven years. At December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2022, the
aggregate number of Class A Non-Voting Shares authorized for issuance under the stock option plan was 3.4
million.

Performance Share Units and Performance Units
The Company grants Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) to certain of its employees that generally vest after three
years. Each PSU entitles the participant to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the
Company’s Class A Non-Voting Shares on the date set out in the Performance Share Unit plan, multiplied by a
factor determined by specific performance-based criteria and a relative total shareholder return modifier.
CT REIT grants Performance Units (“PUs”) to certain of its employees that generally vest after three years. Each
PU entitles the participant to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of Units of CT REIT on the

date set out in the Performance Unit plan, multiplied by a factor determined by specific performance-based
criteria.
Restricted Share Units and Restricted Units
The Company grants Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) to certain of its employees that generally vest on a
graduated basis, with one-third vesting each year on the anniversary date of the grant. Each RSU entitles the
participant to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Non-Voting Shares
on the date set out in the Restricted Share Unit plan.
CT REIT offers a Restricted Unit (“RU”) plan for its Executives. RUs may be issued as discretionary grants or,
Executives may elect to receive all or a portion of their annual bonus in RUs. At the end of the vesting period,
which is generally three years from the date of grant (in the case of discretionary grants) and five years from the
annual bonus payment date (in the case of deferred bonus), an Executive receives an equivalent number of Units
issued by CT REIT or, at the Executive’s election, the cash equivalent thereof.
The fair value of stock options, PSUs and RSUs at the end of the year was determined using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following inputs:

Deferred Share Units and Deferred Units
The Company offers Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”) plans to certain of its Executives and to members of its Board
of Directors. Under the Executives’ DSU plan, eligible Executives may elect to receive all or a portion of their
annual bonus in DSUs. The Executives’ DSU plan also provides for the granting of discretionary DSUs. Under the
Directors’ DSU plan, eligible Directors may defer all or a portion of their annual director fees into DSUs. DSUs
received under both the Executives’ and Directors’ DSU plans are settled in cash following termination of service
with the Company and/or the Board based on the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Non-Voting Shares
on the settlement date.
CT REIT also offers a Deferred Unit (“DU”) plan for members of its Board of Trustees. Under this plan, eligible
trustees may elect to receive all or a portion of their annual trustee fees in DUs. DUs are settled through the
issuance of an equivalent number of Units of CT REIT or, at the election of the trustee, cash, following termination
of service with the Board.

132 CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
33. Financial Instruments
33.1 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following:
The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans receivable,
bank indebtedness, trade and other payables, short-term borrowings and loans approximate their fair value either
due to their short-term nature or because they are derivatives, which are carried at fair value.
The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term receivables and other assets approximate their fair value either
because the interest rates applied to measure their carrying amount approximate current market interest or
because they are derivatives, which are carried at fair value.
Fair values of financial instruments reflect the credit risk of the Company and counterparties when appropriate.
Investments in Debt Securities
The fair values of financial assets traded in active markets are determined by reference to their quoted closing bid
price or dealer price quotations at the reporting date. For investments that are not traded in active markets, the
Company determines fair values using a combination of discounted cash flow models, comparison to similar
instruments for which market-observable prices exist and other valuation models.
Derivatives
The fair value of a foreign exchange forward contract is estimated by discounting the difference between the
contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free
interest rate (based on government bonds).
The fair value of interest rate swaps and swaptions reflect the estimated amounts the Company would receive or
pay if it were to settle the contracts at the measurement date and is determined by an external valuator using
valuation techniques based on observable market input data.
The fair value of equity derivatives is determined by reference to share price movement adjusted for interest using
market interest rates specific to the terms of the underlying derivative contracts.
Redeemable Financial Instrument
On October 1, 2014, Scotiabank acquired a 20.0 percent interest in the Financial Services business from the
Company for proceeds of $476.8 million, net of $23.2 million in transaction costs. In conjunction with the
transaction, Scotiabank was provided an option to sell and require the Company to purchase all the interest
owned by Scotiabank at any time during the six-month period following the tenth anniversary of the transaction.
This obligation gives rise to a liability for the Company (“redeemable financial instrument”) and is recorded on the
Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other long-term liabilities. The purchase price will be based on the
fair value of the Financial Services business and Scotiabank’s proportionate interest in the Financial Services
business, at that time.
The redeemable financial instrument was initially recorded at $500.0 million and is subsequently measured at fair
value with changes in fair value recorded in net income for the period in which they arise. The subsequent fair
value measurements of the redeemable financial instrument are estimated in consideration of a discounted cash
flow analysis using earnings attributable to the Financial Services business and secondary market-based
approaches when considered appropriate, adjusted for any undistributed earnings and Scotiabank’s proportionate
interest in the business. The Company estimates future annual earnings over the forecast period, taking into
account a terminal value calculated by discounting the final year in perpetuity. The growth rate applied to the
terminal value is based on an industry-based estimate of the Financial Services business. The discount rate
reflects the cost of equity of the Financial Services business and is based on expected market rates adjusted to
reflect the risk profile of the business. The fair value measurement is performed quarterly using internal estimates
and judgments supplemented by input from a third party, as required. This recurring fair value measurement is
categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 33.2).
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 133
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
33.2 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Classified Using the Fair Value
Hierarchy
The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial
assets and financial liabilities, the levels of which are:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices of identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 – Inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 but are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs are not based on observable market data.
The following table presents the financial instruments measured at fair value classified by the fair value hierarchy:

As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the redeemable financial instrument was estimated to be $567.0
million (January 1, 2022 – $567.0 million). The determination of the fair value of the redeemable financial
instrument requires significant judgment on the part of Management. Refer to Note 2 of these consolidated
financial statements for further information.
33.3 Fair Value Measurement of Investments, Debt and Deposits
The fair value measurement of investments, debt and deposits is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value

The difference between the fair values and the carrying amounts (excluding transaction costs, which are included
in the carrying amount of debt) is due to changes in market interest rates for similar instruments. The fair values
are determined by discounting the associated future cash flows using current market interest rates for items of
similar risk.

Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into numerous agreements that may contain features that
meet the definition of a guarantee. A guarantee is defined to be a contract (including an indemnity) that
contingently requires the Company to make payments to the guaranteed party based on (i) changes in an
underlying interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity or commodity instrument, index or other variable that is
related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the counterparty; (ii) failure of another party to perform under
an obligating agreement; or (iii) failure of a third party to pay its indebtedness when due.
The Company has provided the following significant guarantees and other commitments to third parties:
Standby Letters of Credit
Franchise Trust, a legal entity sponsored by a third-party bank, originates loans to certain Dealers for their
purchase of Canadian Tire store inventory and fixed assets. While Franchise Trust is consolidated as part of
these financial statements, the Company has arranged for several major Canadian banks to provide standby LCs
to Franchise Trust to achieve the required “AAA” equivalent credit rating of the funding of the Dealer loan portfolio.
Franchise Trust has sold all its rights in the LCs to the Co-owner Trusts. Franchise Trust, on behalf of the Co-
owner Trusts, may draw against the LCs in certain pre-defined circumstances. Should a draw be made against
an LC, the Company has agreed to reimburse the bank issuing such standby LC for the amount so drawn. The
Company has not recorded any liability for these amounts due to: there having been no historical draws made by
Franchise Trust under such LCs; the credit quality of the Dealer loans; and the nature of the underlying collateral
represented by the inventory and fixed assets of the borrowing Dealers. The Company’s maximum exposure as
at December 31, 2022 under the LCs was $62.0 million (January 1, 2022 – $62.9 million).
The Company has obtained documentary and standby LCs aggregating $27.5 million (January 1, 2022 – $31.0
million) relating to the importation of merchandise inventories and to facilitate various real estate activities.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Business and Property Dispositions
In connection with agreements for the sale of all or part of a business or property, and in addition to
indemnifications relating to failure to perform covenants and breach of representations and warranties, the
Company has agreed to indemnify the purchasers against claims from its past conduct, including environmental
remediation. Typically, the term and amount of such indemnification will be determined by the parties in the
agreements. The nature of these indemnification agreements prevents the Company from estimating the
maximum potential liability it would be required to pay to counterparties. Historically, the Company has not made
any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the
consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification agreements.
Lease Agreements Guarantees
The Company has guaranteed leases on certain franchise stores in the event the franchisees are unable to meet
their remaining lease commitments. These lease agreements have expiration dates through November 2028.
The maximum amount that the Company may be required to pay under these agreements is $3.5 million
(January 1, 2022 – $1.1 million). In addition, the Company could be required to make payments for percentage
rents, realty taxes and common area costs. No amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial
statements with respect to these lease agreements.
Third-Party Financial Guarantees
The Company has guaranteed certain bank loan amounts of certain Dealers. These third-party financial
guarantees require the Company to make payments if the Dealer fails to make scheduled debt payments. The
majority of these third-party financial guarantees have expiration dates extending up to and including January
2025 and any extension is at the Company’s discretion. The Company’s maximum exposure as at December 31,
2022 under these financial guarantees was $5.5 million (January 1, 2022 – $5.8 million).
The Company has entered into agreements to buy back certain franchisee-owned merchandise inventory should
the banks foreclose on any of the applicable franchisees. The initial terms of the buy-back agreements are for
one year and any extension is at the Company’s discretion. The Company’s maximum exposure as at
December 31, 2022 under these buy-back agreements was $24.6 million (January 1, 2022 – $21.8 million).
No amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements with respect to these guarantees and buy-
back agreements.
Indemnification of Lenders and Agents Under Credit Facilities
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has agreed to indemnify its lenders under various credit facilities
against costs or losses resulting from changes in laws and regulations that would increase the lenders’ costs and
from any legal action brought against the lenders relating to the use of the loan proceeds. These indemnifications
generally extend for the term of the credit facilities and do not provide any limit on the maximum potential liability.
Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no
amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification
agreements.
Other Indemnification Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides other additional indemnification agreements to
counterparties in transactions such as leasing transactions, service arrangements, investment banking
agreements, securitization agreements, indemnification of trustees under indentures for outstanding public debt,
Director and Officer indemnification agreements, escrow agreements, price escalation clauses, sales of assets
(other than dispositions of businesses noted) and the arrangements with Franchise Trust noted. These additional
indemnification agreements require the Company to compensate the counterparties for certain amounts and costs
incurred, including costs resulting from changes in laws and regulations (including tax legislation) or as a result of
litigation claims or statutory sanctions that may be suffered by a counterparty as a consequence of the
transaction.
The terms of these additional indemnification agreements vary based on the contract and do not provide any limit
on the maximum potential liability. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such
CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION 2022 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 137
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
additional indemnifications and no amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements with respect
to these additional indemnification commitments.
The Company’s exposure to credit risks related to the above-noted guarantees are disclosed in Note 5.
Capital and Other Commitments
As at December 31, 2022, the Company had capital commitments for the acquisition of property and equipment,
investment property and intangible assets for an aggregate cost of approximately $165.5 million (January 1, 2022
– $136.1 million).
As at December 31, 2022 the Company had other commitments of $145.8 million (January 1, 2022 – $26.8
million).
