FLINT Announces Fourth Quarter and 2024 Annual Financial Results
Reports record full year revenues of $710.6 million and Adjusted EBITDAS of $35.5 million
Calgary, Alberta (March 11, 2025) – FLINT Corp. (“FLINT” or the "Company") (TSX: FLNT) today announced its
results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024. All amounts are in Canadian dollars and
expressed in millions of dollars unless otherwise noted.
“EBITDAS” and “Adjusted EBITDAS” are not standard measures under IFRS. Please refer to the Advisory
regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this press release for a description of these items and
limitations of their use.
“2024 was the third consecutive year of record annual revenues for FLINT at $710.6 million, representing an
increase of 8.4% over 2023. This performance was driven by the advancement of our organic growth strategy
across Canada and the successful completion of our busiest turnaround season on record. Our annual total
recordable injury frequency ("TRIF") rate fell to 0.13, representing the best safety performance in our Company's
history. The unwavering commitment of our employees to uphold our core values and deliver our services safely,
on time, and on budget provides our valued clients with high-quality, predictable outcomes, which is paramount to
our success,” said Barry Card, Chief Executive Officer.
“2024 was also highlighted by improving our Adjusted EBITDAS to $35.5 million, which represents an increase of
7.5% over 2023 and generating net income of $1.3 million. We have consistently improved our financial
performance over the past three years with our organic growth strategy. As we look ahead, we remain dedicated
to advancing our strategies with industrial market diversification and geographic expansion, upholding our
commitment to our stakeholders, while advancing our position in the markets we serve,” added Mr. Card.
ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS
•
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $710.6 million, representing an increase of $54.8
million or 8.4% from 2023. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the advancement of our growth
strategy which led to our busiest turnaround season on record combined with the increase in revenues
from environmental services as those services continue to grow.
•
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $74.9 million, representing an increase of $7.4
million or 11.0% from 2023. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in revenue
noted above.
•
Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 10.5% compared to 10.3% in 2023. The
increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to the mix of work compared to the same period of 2023.
•
Adjusted EBITDAS for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $35.5 million, representing an increase of
$2.5 million or 7.5% from 2023.
•
Adjusted EBITDAS margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 5.0% consistent with 5.0% from
the same period in 2023.
•
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for year ended December 31, 2024 were $41.1
million, representing an increase of $5.4 million or 15.1% from 2023. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were 5.8%, an increase from 5.4% in 2023. The
increase in SG&A expenses, both on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue, is primarily due
to higher personnel costs to support the Company's organic growth strategy and increased professional
fees to assist in the ongoing continuous improvements in the business post the implementation of the
Company's enterprise resource planning system. The absolute increase in SG&A in 2024 was also
required to support the concentrated turnaround season we executed in the latter part of 2024.

•
Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.6 million, representing
an increase of $14.5 million or 112.6% from 2023. The income variance was driven by the impairment of
assets of $11.5 million that was recorded in 2023 combined with improvement in gross profit margin in
2024, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses in 2024.
•
Liquidity, including cash and available credit facilities, was $59.7 million at December 31, 2024, as
compared to $56.7 million at December 31, 2023.
•
New contract awards and renewals totaled approximately $371.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2024.
FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
•
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $187.2 million, representing an increase
of $37.5 million or 25.0% from the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the
high activity levels experienced in the third quarter of 2024 continuing into the fourth quarter of 2024.
•
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $20.2 million, representing an increase
of $3.0 million or 17.7% from the same period in 2023.
•
Gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was 10.8%, compared to 11.5% for
the same period in 2023. The decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue was primarily
due to the mix of work compared to the same period of 2023.
•
Adjusted EBITDAS for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $10.6 million, representing an
increase of $1.7 million or 19.0% from the same period in 2023.
•
Adjusted EBITDAS margin was 5.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 5.9%
for the same period in 2023.
•
SG&A expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $9.9 million, representing an
increase of $1.0 million or 11.4% from the same period in 2023. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A
expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were 5.3%, compared to 5.9% for the same
period in 2023. The increase in SG&A expenses on an absolute basis, is primarily due to higher
personnel costs and higher occupancy costs.
•
Income from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $1.7 million,
representing an increase of $1.9 million or 764.3% form the same period in 2023. The income variance
was driven by the increase in gross profit margin partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.
•
New contract awards and renewals totaled approximately $36.4 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2024 and $47.7 million for the first two months of 2025. Approximately 71.9% of the work is
expected to be completed by the end of 2025, with the balance completed between 2026 and 2030.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On May 31, 2024, FLINT extended the maturity dates of (a) the ABL Facility to April 14, 2027 (previously April 14,
2025), (b) the Term Loan Facility to the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days following the maturity of the ABL
Facility and (ii) October 14, 2027 (previously October 14, 2025), and (c) the Senior Secured Debentures to
October 14, 2027 (previously March 23, 2026).
FLINT has an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) providing for maximum borrowings up to
$50.0 million with a Canadian chartered bank. The amount available under the ABL Facility will vary from time to
time based on the borrowing base determined with reference to the accounts receivable of FLINT and certain of
its subsidiaries. The maturity date of the ABL Facility is April 14, 2027.
The Company anticipates that its liquidity (cash on hand and available credit facilities) and cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to meet its short-term contractual obligations and to maintain compliance with its
financial covenants through December 31, 2025. To maintain compliance with its financial covenants through
December 31, 2025, the Company can request approval from the holder of the Senior Secured Debentures to pay
interest on the Senior Secured Debentures in kind.
As at December 31, 2024, the issued and outstanding share capital included 110,001,239 Common Shares,
127,732 Series 1 Preferred Shares, and 40,100 Series 2 Preferred Shares.
The Series 1 Preferred Shares (having an aggregate value of $127.732 million) are convertible at the option of the
holder into Common Shares at a price of $0.35/share and the Series 2 Preferred Shares (having an aggregate
value of $40.100 million) are convertible into Common Shares at a price of $0.10/share.
Page 3
The Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares have a 10% fixed cumulative preferential cash dividend payable
when the Company has sufficient monies to be able to do so, including under the provisions of applicable law and
contracts affecting the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company does not intend to declare or pay any
cash dividends until the Company's balance sheet and liquidity position supports the payment. As at
December 31, 2024, the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 1 and Series 2 shares totaled $110.2 million.
Any accrued and unpaid dividends are convertible in certain circumstances at the option of the holder into
additional Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares.
On June 30, 2024, Canso, in its capacity as portfolio manager for and on behalf of certain accounts that it
manages and sole holder of the Senior Secured Debentures, agreed to accept the issuance of Senior Secured
Debentures on June 30, 2024 with a principal amount of $5.2 million in order to satisfy the interest that would
otherwise become due and payable on such date.

Advisory regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain information included in this press release may constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. In some cases,
forward-looking information can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”,
“continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. This press release contains forward-looking
information relating to: our business plans, strategies and objectives, including industrial market diversification and geographic expansion, upholding our
commitment to our stakeholders, while advancing our position in the markets we serve; contract renewals and project awards, including the estimated value
thereof and the timing of completing the associated work; and the sufficiency of our liquidity and cash flow from operations to meet our short-term contractual
obligations and maintain compliance with our financial covenants through December 31, 2025.
Forward-looking information involves significant risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events
and results discussed in the forward-looking information including, but not limited to, compliance with debt covenants, access to credit facilities and other sources
of capital for working capital requirements and capital expenditure needs, availability of labour, dependence on key personnel, economic conditions, commodity
prices, interest rates, regulatory change, weather and risks related to the integration of acquired businesses. These factors should not be considered exhaustive.
Risks and uncertainties about FLINT’s business are more fully discussed in FLINT’s disclosure materials, including its annual information form and management’s
discussion and analysis of the operating and financial results, filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and available on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca. In formulating the forward-looking information, management has assumed that business and economic conditions affecting FLINT will continue
substantially in the ordinary course, including, without limitation, with respect to general levels of economic activity, regulations, taxes and interest rates. Although
the forward-looking information is based on what management of FLINT consider to be reasonable assumptions based on information currently available to it,
there can be no assurance that actual events or results will be consistent with this forward-looking information, and management’s assumptions may prove to be
incorrect.
This forward-looking information is made as of the date of this press release, and FLINT does not assume any obligation to update or revise it to reflect new events
or circumstances except as required by law. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is provided for the
purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that such information may not
be appropriate for other purposes.
Advisory regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The terms ‘‘EBITDAS’’ and “Adjusted EBITDAS” (collectively, the ‘‘Non-GAAP financial measures’’) are financial measures used in this press release that are not
standard measures under IFRS. FLINT’s method of calculating the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore,
the Non-GAAP Financial Measures, as presented, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
EBITDAS refers to income (loss) from continuing operations in accordance with IFRS, before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense
(recovery) and long-term incentive plan expenses. EBITDAS is used by management and the directors of FLINT as well as many investors to determine the ability
of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management believes that in addition to income (loss) from continuing operations and cash provided by operating
activities, EBITDAS is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine FLINT’s ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital
expenditures and income taxes. FLINT has provided a reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations to EBITDAS below.
Adjusted EBITDAS refers to EBITDAS excluding impairment of assets, restructuring expense, gain on sale of property, plant and equipment, loss (recovery) of
contingent consideration liability, other income and one-time incurred expenses. FLINT has used Adjusted EBITDAS as the basis for the analysis of its past
operating financial performance. Adjusted EBITDAS is a measure that management believes (i) is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine FLINT’s
ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, and income taxes, and (ii) facilitates the comparability of the results of
historical periods and the analysis of its operating financial performance which may be useful to investors. FLINT has provided a reconciliation of income (loss)
from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDAS below.
Investors are cautioned that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not alternatives to measures under IFRS and should not, on their own, be construed as an
indicator of performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return on the shares. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures should only be
used with reference to FLINT’s consolidated interim and annual financial statements, which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or on FLINT’s website
at www.flintcorp.com.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
March 11, 2025
The following is management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the consolidated results of operations,
balance sheets and cash flows of FLINT Corp. ("FLINT" or the "Company") for the years ended December 31,
2024 and 2023. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with FLINT’s audited consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
All amounts in this MD&A are in Canadian dollars and expressed in thousands of dollars unless otherwise noted.
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of FLINT have been prepared by and are the
responsibility of management. The contents of this MD&A have been approved by the Board of Directors of FLINT
on the recommendation of its Audit Committee. This MD&A is dated March 11, 2025 and is current to that date
unless otherwise indicated.
The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
This MD&A makes reference to certain measures that are not defined in IFRS. These measures do not have any
standard meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented
by other issuers. This MD&A also contains information that may constitute “forward-looking information” with the
meaning of Canadian securities laws. See "Advisory regarding Forward-Looking Information" and "Advisory
regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
References to “we”, “us”, “our” or similar terms, refer to FLINT, unless the context otherwise requires.
P A G E 1
OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS
As of January 1, 2024, the level of disaggregation of financial results reported to the Company’s chief operating
decision makers has been revised in conjunction with an internal reorganization. As a result, the Company has
one reportable segment as at December 31, 2024. Previously, the Company had two reportable segments: the
Maintenance and Construction Services segment and the Wear Technology Overlay Services segment. This
change is reflective of the Company’s integration of its fabrication and overlay services with its maintenance,
turnaround and construction services in an effort to enhance the value offering for its customers.
FLINT’s services include maintenance and turnarounds, facility construction, fabrication, modularization and
machining, wear technologies and weld overlays, pipeline installation and integrity, electrical and instrumentation,
workforce supply, heavy equipment operators, and environmental services. FLINT is a leading provider of these
services to energy and industrial markets, including oil and gas (upstream, midstream and downstream),
petrochemical, mining, power, agriculture, forestry, infrastructure and water treatment. Its operations, assets and
employees are mainly located in Canada with some activity in the United States.
FLINT utilizes EBITDAS and Adjusted EBITDAS as performance measures to evaluate its results. These
measures are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures under IFRS. See "Advisory regarding Non-GAAP
Financial Measures".

Advisory regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain information included in this MD&A may constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. In some cases, forward-
looking information can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”,
“continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Specifically, this MD&A contains forward-
looking information relating to: our business plans, strategies and objectives; the sufficiency of our liquidity and cash flow from operations to meet our short-term
contractual obligations and maintain compliance with our financial covenants through December 31, 2025; the payment of interest owing on the Senior Secured
Debentures in kind; the Company’s approach to dividends; the outlook for oil and natural gas prices and their impact on the demand for our services and impact on
our customers in the energy industry; our outlook with respect to the Company's organic growth strategy and the results of this strategy with renewed and
expanded scopes with existing and the addition of new customers across Canada; our outlook that in 2025 demand will increase for natural gas from heating,
power, and LNG exports; we anticipate that oil prices will remain relatively stable due to ongoing geopolitical, political, and economic factors that are not expected
to materially alter the macro supply and demand dynamics influencing prices in the short term; opportunities for growth in our service offerings; that the market for
skilled labour in Canada remains tight; and the Company’s focus on its programs to attract, retain and develop its people and to deliver high quality services to its
valued customers in a safe and efficient manner.
Forward-looking information involves significant risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events

of capital for working capital requirements and capital expenditure needs, availability of labour, dependence on key personnel, economic conditions, commodity
prices, interest rates, regulatory change, weather and risks related to the integration of acquired businesses. These factors should not be considered exhaustive.

2024 RESULTS
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $710,554 compared to $655,745 for the same period in
2023, representing an increase of 8.4%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the advancement of our
growth strategy which led to our busiest turnaround season on record combined with the increase in revenues
from environmental services as those services continue to grow.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $74,925 compared to $67,513 for the same period in
2023, representing an increase of 11.0%. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in revenue
noted above. Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 10.5% compared to 10.3% for the
same period in 2023. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to the mix of work compared to the
same period of 2023.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $41,065 in
comparison to $35,668 for the same period in 2023, representing an increase of 15.1%. As a percentage of
revenue, SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were 5.8% compared to 5.4% for the same
period in 2023. The increase in SG&A expenses, both on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue, is
primarily due to higher personnel costs to support the Company's organic growth strategy and increased
professional fees to assist in the ongoing continuous improvements in the business post the implementation of the
Company's enterprise resource planning system. The absolute increase in SG&A in 2024 was also required to
support the concentrated turnaround season we executed in the latter part of 2024.
Non-cash items that impacted the 2024 results were depreciation, amortization and interest expense paid in kind.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, depreciation and amortization expenses were $10,952 compared to
$10,507 for the same period in 2023. The increase in depreciation expenses was primarily due to an increase in
vehicle lease additions to support increased business activity.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, interest expense was $18,800 compared to $18,525 for the same
periods in 2023, representing an increase of 1.5%. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the
increase in the principal amount of Senior Secured Debentures outstanding due to the settlement of interest
owing in kind in June 2024, partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on our variable interest rate loans.
Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1,625 in comparison to a loss of
$12,894 for the same period in 2023. The income variance was driven by the impairment of assets in the Wear
Technology Overlay Services cash generating unit ("CGU") of $11,462 that was recorded in 2023 combined with
improvement in gross profit margin in 2024, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses in 2024.
P A G E 5
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDAS was $35,477 compared to $33,002 for the same
period in 2023. As a percentage of revenue, Adjusted EBITDAS was 5.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024
consistent with 5.0% for the same period in 2023.
FOURTH QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $187,175 compared to $149,682 for the same
period in 2023, representing an increase of 25.0%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the high activity
levels experienced in the third quarter of 2024 continuing into the fourth quarter of 2024.
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $20,180 compared to $17,145 for the same
period in 2023. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in revenue noted above. Gross profit
margin for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was 10.8% compared to 11.5% for the same period in
2023. The decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the mix of work
compared to the same period of 2023.
SG&A expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $9,894, in comparison to $8,883 for the
same period in 2023, representing an increase of 11.4%. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses for the
three months ended December 31, 2024 were 5.3% compared to 5.9% for the same period in 2023. The increase
in SG&A expenses on an absolute basis is primarily due to higher personnel costs and higher occupancy costs.
The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the increase in revenue noted above.
Non-cash items that impacted the 2024 results were depreciation and amortization. For the three months ended
December 31, 2024, depreciation and amortization expenses were $2,748 compared to $2,565 for the same
period in 2023. The increase in depreciation expenses relates to the same factors that impact the twelve months
ended.
Income from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $1,694 in comparison to
a loss of $255 for the same period in 2023. The income variance was driven by the increase in gross profit
margin, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.
For the three months ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDAS was $10,551 compared to $8,868 for the
same period in 2023. As a percentage of revenue, Adjusted EBITDAS was 5.6% for the three months ended
December 31, 2024 compared to 5.9% for the same period in 2023.

Operating Activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities in 2024 is a result of the Company's financial performance in the year,
and the improvement in the Company's cash management process. This was partially offset by the payment of
interest in cash on the Senior Secured Debentures in December 2024.
The Company anticipates that its liquidity (cash on hand and available credit facilities) and cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to meet its short-term contractual obligations. To maintain compliance with its financial
covenants through December 31, 2025, the Company can request approval from the holder of the Senior Secured
Debentures to pay interest on the Senior Secured Debentures in kind.
P A G E 6
Investing Activities
Cash flow provided by investing activities in 2024 consisted of proceeds from the disposal of certain property,
plant and equipment ("PP&E") partially offset by PP&E additions in the year, primarily related to furniture, tools
and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in 2024 consisted of repayment of lease principal payments and principal
payments on other secured borrowings.
ABL Facility, Term Loan Facility and Other Borrowings
On May 31, 2024, FLINT extended the maturity dates of (a) the ABL Facility to April 14, 2027 (previously April 14,
2025), (b) the Term Loan Facility to the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days following the maturity of the ABL
Facility and (ii) October 14, 2027 (previously October 14, 2025), and (c) the Senior Secured Debentures to
October 14, 2027 (previously March 23, 2026).
a.
ABL Facility
FLINT has an asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") providing for maximum borrowings
of up to $50,000 with a Canadian chartered bank (the "Lender"). The ABL Facility matures on April 14,
2027.
The amount available under the ABL Facility will vary from time to time based on the borrowing base
determined with reference to the accounts receivable of the Company. The ABL Facility borrowing base
as at December 31, 2024 was $50,000 (December 31, 2023 - $50,000). The obligations under the ABL
Facility are secured by, among other things, a first ranking lien on all of the existing and after acquired
accounts receivable of the Company and the other guarantors, being certain of the Company's direct
subsidiaries. The interest rate on the ABL Facility is the Lender's prime rate plus 1.75% (December 31,
2023 - Lender's prime rate plus 2.5%).
As at December 31, 2024, nil (December 31, 2023 - nil) was drawn on the ABL Facility, and there were
$400 (December 31, 2023 - $2,147) of letters of credit reducing the amount available to be drawn. As at
December 31, 2024, the net amount of deferred financing costs was $304 (December 31, 2023 - $323).
The financial covenants applicable under the ABL Facility are as follows:
•
The Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1.00:1.00 for
each twelve month period calculated and tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter; and
•
For each fiscal year, the Company must not expend or become obligated for (i) any capital
expenditures in an aggregate amount exceeding $20,000 and (ii) any non-financed capital
expenditures in an aggregate amount exceeding $8,000.
As at December 31, 2024, FLINT was in compliance with all financial covenants under the ABL Facility.
b.
Term Loan Facility
FLINT has a term loan facility providing for maximum borrowings of up to $40,500 (the “Term Loan
Facility”) with Canso Investment Counsel Ltd., in its capacity as portfolio manager for and on behalf of
certain accounts that it manages (“Canso”). The Term Loan Facility matures on the earlier of (a) the date
that is 180 days following the maturity date of the ABL Facility and (b) October 14, 2027.
P A G E 7
As at December 31, 2024, $40,500 (December 31, 2023 - $40,500) was outstanding under the Term Loan
Facility. The Term Loan Facility is required to be used for specific purposes and cannot be redrawn once
repaid. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility is a fixed rate of 8.0% (December 31, 2023 - fixed rate
of 8.0%). The net amount of deferred financing costs was $176 as at December 31, 2024 (December 31,
2023 - $222).
c.
Other Secured Borrowings
On June 26, 2019, the Company received $19,000 from two secured loans with the Business
Development Bank of Canada (“BDC”) as a partial source of funds for the acquisition of certain assets of
the production services division of AECOM Production Services Ltd. (the "AECOM PSD Business").
The $13,500 loan has monthly principal payments of $45, with the final payment to occur on October 2,
2045. The interest rate on the loan is the BDC Floating Base Rate less 1.0%. Interest accrues and is
payable monthly. The Company allocated $195 in deferred financing costs to this loan that will be
amortized over the life of the loan.
The $5,500 loan had monthly principal payments of $75. The interest rate on the loan was the BDC
Floating Base Rate less 0.5%. Interest accrued and was payable monthly. The Company allocated $85 in
deferred financing costs to this loan that were amortized over the life of the loan. The final payment for
this loan occurred on June 6, 2024.
The loans are secured by a first security interest on the real property and equipment acquired through the
acquisition of the AECOM PSD Business and a security interest in all other present and future property,
subject to the priorities granted to existing lenders under the ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility, the
senior secured debentures and other existing commitments.
The loan agreements with BDC requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio equal to
or greater than 1.00:1.00 for each twelve month period calculated and tested as of the last day of each
fiscal year.
As at December 31, 2024, FLINT was in compliance with all financial covenants under the $13,500 loan
agreement with BDC.
d.
Senior Secured Debentures
On March 23, 2016, the Company issued 8.0% senior secured debentures due March 23, 2026 (the
"Senior Secured Debentures") pursuant to a trust indenture between FLINT, as issuer, and BNY Trust
Company of Canada, as debenture trustee, as amended and supplemented (the "Senior Secured
Indenture"), on a private placement basis to Canso. On June 2, 2020, the debenture trustee was changed
to Computershare Trust Company of Canada. On May 31, 2024, the maturity date of the Senior Secured
Debentures was extended to October 14, 2027.
The Senior Secured Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 8.0% payable in arrears on June 30
and December 31 of each year. The Senior Secured Debentures are redeemable at the option of the
Company and, in certain circumstances, are mandatorily redeemable. The Senior Secured Debentures
are secured by first-ranking liens over all of the property of the Company and its guarantor subsidiaries,
other than certain limited classes of collateral over which the Company has granted a prior-ranking lien in
favour of the ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the other secured loans.
The Senior Secured Debentures limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to make certain
distributions and dispositions, incur indebtedness, grant liens and limitations with respect to acquisitions,
mergers, investments, non-arm’s length transactions, reorganizations and hedging arrangements (subject
to certain exceptions).
P A G E 8
On June 30, 2024, Canso, in its capacity as portfolio manager for and on behalf of certain accounts that it
manages and sole holder of the Senior Secured Debentures, agreed to accept the issuance of Senior
Secured Debentures on June 30, 2024 with a principal amount of $5,205 in order to satisfy the interest
that would otherwise have become due and payable on such date.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
FLINT prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of the
consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period of the consolidated financial
statements. Material accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements, including use of estimates and judgments, are described in Note 1 of the annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies are provided for when they are likely to occur and can be reasonably estimated. FLINT is subject to
claims and litigation proceedings arising in the normal course of operations. The known claims and litigation
proceedings are not expected to materially affect the Company's financial position or reported results of
operations.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
As at December 31, 2024, directors and officers beneficially owned an aggregate of 7,611,907 Common Shares,
representing approximately 6.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
SHARE CAPITAL
The authorized share capital of the Company consists of: (i) an unlimited number of Common Shares, and
(ii) Preferred Shares issuable in series to be limited in number to an amount equal to not more than one half of the
issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of issuance of such Preferred Shares.

Balance as at December 31, 2024

110,001,239
The Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares have a 10.0% fixed cumulative preferential cash dividend payable
when the Company shall have sufficient monies to be able to do so, including under the provisions of applicable
law and contracts affecting the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company does not intend to declare or
pay any cash dividends until the Company’s balance sheet and liquidity position supports the payment. Any
accrued and unpaid dividends are convertible in certain circumstances at the option of the holder into additional
Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares.
As at December 31, 2024, the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares
totaled $110,234 (December 31, 2023 - $93,456). Assuming that the holders of the Preferred Shares exercise the
right to convert such accrued and unpaid dividends into additional Preferred Shares and then convert such
Preferred Shares into Common Shares, approximately 472,827,081 (December 31, 2023 - 396,281,829) Common
Shares would be issued, which represents approximately 429.8% (December 31, 2023 - 360.3%) of the Common
Shares outstanding as at December 31, 2024.
In addition, holders of the Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares have the right, at their option, to convert their
Preferred Shares into Common Shares at a price of $0.35 and $0.10 per Common Share, respectively, subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, no Series 1 or Series
2 Preferred Shares were converted into Common Shares (year ended December 31, 2023 - no Series 1 or Series
2 Preferred Shares were converted into Common Shares).
The Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares are redeemable by the Company for cash at 110% of the purchase
price for such shares, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, once all of the outstanding Senior Secured Debentures
have been repaid and are subject to repayment in the event of certain change of control transactions.
Based upon the conversion rights of the Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares there could be significant dilution
to the current holders of Common Shares. Up to approximately 765,948,571 (December 31, 2023 - 766,059,000)
additional Common Shares would be issuable upon conversion of the face amount of the Preferred Shares into
Common Shares, representing approximately 696.3% (December 31, 2023 - 696.4%) of the Common Shares
outstanding as at December 31, 2024.
As the terms of the Preferred Shares do not create an unavoidable obligation to pay cash, the Preferred Shares
are accounted for within shareholders' deficit, net of transaction costs.
OUTLOOK
We continue to execute our organic growth strategy that targets both industrial end market and geographic
diversification. We are seeing the results of this strategy with renewed and expanded scopes with existing
customers and the addition of new customers across Canada. In 2024, we realized our third consecutive year of
record revenue at $710,554, which represents a cumulative average growth rate of 8.4% since 2022.
For our customers in the energy industry, the dichotomy between oil and natural gas pricing continues. Natural
gas prices have remained depressed throughout 2024, however there is optimism that demand will increase in
2025 for natural gas from heating, power, and LNG exports. We anticipate that oil prices will remain relatively
stable due to ongoing geopolitical, political, and economic factors that are not expected to materially alter the
macro supply and demand dynamics influencing prices in the short term.
P A G E 10
The market for skilled labour in Canada remains tight. We remain focused on our programs to attract, retain and
develop our people and to deliver high quality services to our valued customers in a safe and efficient manner.
FLINT has a suite of more than 40 service offerings that encompass the full asset lifecycle. Through the extensive
regional coverage provided by our network of operating facilities across Canada, we believe that FLINT is well
positioned to further consolidate the services required at various operating sites while generating efficiencies and
cost reductions for our customers. We are also continually working to improve our service delivery to help our
customers bring their resources to our world.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Common Shares of FLINT involves a number of risks. In addition to the other information
contained in this MD&A and FLINT’s other publicly-filed disclosure documents, investors should give careful
consideration to the following factors, which are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and must be read in
conjunction with, the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this MD&A. Any of the matters highlighted in
these risk factors could have a material adverse effect on FLINT’s results of operations, business prospects or
financial condition. The risks described below and referenced elsewhere in this MD&A are not exhaustive. The
Company operates in a very competitive and ever-changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to
time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such
risk factors on the Company’s business.
•
Failure to comply with the covenants in the agreements governing the Company’s debt could adversely
affect the Company’s financial condition.
•
The Company’s credit facilities may not provide sufficient liquidity and a failure to renew the credit
facilities could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.
•
The Company’s access to capital or borrowing to maintain operations and/or finance future development
and acquisitions may become restricted.
•
Common Shares issuable on conversion of Series 1 or Series 2 Preferred Shares, substantially all of
which are held by Canso Investment Counsel Ltd., in its capacity as portfolio manager for and on behalf
of certain accounts that it manages, could result in the holders of the Common Shares being substantially
diluted and Canso being in a position to unilaterally elect the directors of the Company should it so
choose.
•
Difficulty in retaining, replacing or adding personnel could adversely affect the Company’s business. A
portion of the Company’s employees are unionized, and accordingly the Company is subject to the
detrimental effects of a strike or other labour action, in addition to competitive cost factors.
•
The Company relies on certain key personnel whose absence or loss could disrupt its operations and
have a material adverse effect on its business.
•
The Company relies on subcontractors whose failure to satisfactorily perform their portion of the work
could result in additional costs being incurred.
•
The Company’s growth potential is restricted by the use of the majority of its cash flow to service debt.
•
The Company’s business depends on the oil and natural gas industry and particularly on the level of
exploration, development and production for North American oil and natural gas, and government policies
including potential tariffs and trade restrictions, which is volatile.
•
The Company’s financial performance depends on its performance under agreements with its customers
and its ability to renew customer contracts and attract new business.
•
The Company is subject to risk of default by counterparties to its contracts, and its counterparties may
deem the Company to be a default risk.
P A G E 11
•
Failure to maintain the Company’s safety standards and record could lead to a decline in the demand for
its services.
•
The Company is subject to a number of federal, provincial and regional health, safety and environmental
laws and regulations that may require it to make substantial expenditures or cause it to incur substantial
liabilities. Changes in legislation and regulations, including international trade problems, that affect the
Company’s customers, or failure of customers to comply with such regulations, could adversely affect
demand for the Company’s services and the Company’s financial performance.
•
The Company’s industry is intensely competitive. The Company’s reputation relative to its competition
significantly affects the Company’s long-term success and financial performance.
•
The Company has direct and indirect exposure to credit market volatility resulting from negative investor
sentiment about the development and regulation of energy production.
•
The Company is directly and indirectly subject to the influence of public perception on the regulatory
regime governing resource development.
•
The Company is susceptible to seasonal volatility in its operating and financial results due to adverse
weather conditions.
•
The Company’s reliance on equipment and parts suppliers exposes it to risks, including timing of delivery
and quality of parts and equipment and the potential of any suppliers being subject to potential trade
restrictions, including tariffs.
•
The Company is subject to a number of additional business risks, which could adversely affect its ability
to complete projects and service contracts on time and on budget.
•
The direct and indirect restrictions and costs of various environmental laws and regulations, existing and
proposed, may adversely affect the Company’s business, operations and financial results, including
uncertainty with respect to the recent changes in government in the United States and the expected
Federal election in Canada.
•
The Company may participate in large contracts with a small number of customers, thus increasing the
risk of economic dependence and concentration of credit. The Company’s customer base is concentrated
and the loss of a significant customer could cause the Company’s revenue to decline substantially.
•
The Company’s performance is sensitive to impacts of localized factors and trends that are specific to
Alberta and British Columbia because a large percentage of the Company’s revenues originate in those
provinces.
•
Since a significant portion of the Company’s work is in the oil sands sector, the Company’s performance is
sensitive to factors affecting the oil sands sector, including temporary or permanent shutdown of projects
due to downturns in oil and gas prices, natural disasters, mechanical breakdowns, failures or pressure
from environmental activism.
•
The Company may not be able to convert its backlog into revenue and cannot guarantee that the
revenues projected in its backlog will be realized or, if realized, will result in profits.
•
The Company’s current technology may become obsolete or experience a decrease in demand. To the
extent that the Company does not keep up with changes in technology, demand for its services may be
hindered.
•
The Company’s operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oilfield services industry, which risks
may not be covered to the full extent by the Company’s insurance policies.
P A G E 12
•
The Company is and may become subject to legal proceedings, which could have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
•
Conservation measures and technological advances could reduce demand for oil and natural gas,
resulting in reduced demand for the Company’s services.
•
Business acquisitions involve numerous risks and the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of
acquisitions and dispositions could negatively affect the Company’s results of operations.
•
Improper access to confidential information could adversely affect the Company’s business.
•
Cyber-attacks and loss of the Company’s information and computer systems could adversely affect the
Company’s business.
•
Future actions by governmental authorities in response to a global pandemic could adversely affect the
Company’s business and operations.
•
Income tax laws, regulations or administrative practices relating to the Company and its shareholders
may in the future be changed or interpreted in a manner that adversely affects the Company or its

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
National Instrument 52-109, “Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings” (“NI 52-109”),
issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators requires chief executive officers ("CEO") and chief financial
officers ("CFO") to certify that they are responsible for establishing and maintaining the disclosure controls and
procedures for the issuer, that disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable
assurance that material information relating to the issuer is made known to them, that they have evaluated the
effectiveness of the issuer’s disclosure controls and procedures, and that their conclusions about effectiveness of
those disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by the relevant annual filings have
been disclosed by the issuer.
P A G E 13
The Company's management, including its CEO and CFO, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as at December 31, 2024 and have concluded that those disclosure controls
and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its corporate
filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time period for the year then ended.
The CEO and CFO have certified the appropriateness of the financial disclosures in the Company’s filings for the
year ended December 31, 2024 with securities regulators, including this MD&A and the accompanying audited
consolidated financial statements, and that they are responsible for the design of the disclosure controls and
procedures.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
NI 52-109 also requires CEOs and CFOs to certify that they are responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal controls over financial reporting for the issuer, that those internal controls have been designed and are
effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that the issuer has disclosed any changes in its internal
controls during its most recent year end that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its
internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31,
2024 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect internal controls over financial
reporting. Furthermore, the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2024 and have
concluded that those controls were effective.
Due to the inherent limitations common to all control systems, management acknowledges that disclosure
controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements.
Accordingly, management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that misstatements resulting from fraud or error
will be detected.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
FLINT CORP.
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
P A G E 1
March 11, 2025
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements of FLINT Corp. (“FLINT”) and all of the information in the annual report are
the responsibility of management, including responsibility for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures and internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that the information used
internally by management and disclosed externally is complete and reliable in all material respects. Management
has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial
reporting and has concluded that they are effective.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards and include certain estimates that are based on management’s best judgments.
Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgments. Management has ensured that the consolidated
financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects.
Management has developed and maintains a system of internal control to provide reasonable assurance that
FLINT’s assets are safeguarded, transactions are accurately recorded, and the consolidated financial statements
report FLINT’s operating and financial results in a timely manner. Financial information presented elsewhere in the
annual report has been prepared on a consistent basis with that in the consolidated financial statements.
The Board of Directors of FLINT annually appoints an Audit Committee (the “Committee”) comprised of
Independent Directors. This Committee meets regularly with management and the auditors to review significant
accounting, reporting and internal control matters. The auditors have unrestricted access to the Committee. The
Committee reviews the consolidated financial statements, Management’s Discussion & Analysis, and the external
auditor's report. The Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors for their consideration in approving
the consolidated financial statements for issuance to the shareholders. The Committee also considers, for review
by the Board of Directors and approval by the shareholders, the engagement or re-appointment of the external
auditors.
Ernst & Young LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Professional Accountants, was appointed by the
shareholders to audit the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
auditing standards. Ernst & Young LLP has provided an independent auditor's report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of FLINT Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of FLINT Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
“Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the
consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of
shareholders’ deficit and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the
consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its consolidated financial
performance and its consolidated 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. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
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 consolidated 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 the audit of
the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the
audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming the auditor’s opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed
the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the
performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to
address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
P A G E 3
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue recognition
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company recognizes revenue over time,
either based on its right to consideration in an amount
that corresponds directly with the value to its customers
of performance completed to date, or utilizing an input
measure to measure progress for contracts based on an
analysis of costs incurred to date compared to total
estimated costs.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company
recognized revenue of $710.6 million.
Due to the significance of revenue to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and the audit effort
involved in testing revenue recognized during the year,
revenue was determined to be a key audit matter.
To test revenue recognized, our procedures included, among
others:
•
We evaluated the appropriateness of the Company’s
revenue recognition accounting policies and we
obtained an understanding of the Company’s process
for the initiation, processing and recording of revenue
transactions;
•
We vouched a sample of revenue recognized to
customer orders, third party invoices, timesheets, third
party evidence of receipt of goods or services (where
applicable) and cash receipts;
•
Specific to revenue recognized on a percentage-of-
completion basis, we selected a sample of contracts
with customers not yet complete as of year-end and re-
performed the calculation of revenue recognized based
on costs incurred to date, estimated cost of completion,
and contract revenue. We obtained an understanding of
management’s estimates of cost of completion at
project commencement and evaluated the reasonability
of changes to those estimates over time; we compared
prior period cost estimates to actual costs incurred to
assess management’s forecast ability; and we tested
actual costs incurred subsequent to year-end;
•
We performed targeted, risk-based testing of journal
entries affecting revenue; and
•
We evaluated the appropriateness and completeness of
the related disclosures in Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements.
Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
•
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
•
The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the
Annual Report
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
We obtained Management’s Discussion & Analysis and the Annual Report prior to the date of this auditor’s report.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
P A G E 4
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial
statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.
•
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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
P A G E 5
•
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial
information of the entities or business activities within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on
the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the
work performed for the purposes 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 Kim Wiggins.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands of Canadian dollars)
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
Reporting entity
FLINT Corp. ("FLINT" or the "Company") is a corporation formed pursuant to the Business Corporations Act
(Alberta). The head office is located at Bow Valley Square 2, Suite 3500, 205 - 5th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta
T2P 2V7. FLINT’s services include maintenance and turnarounds, facility construction, fabrication, modularization
and machining, wear technologies and weld overlays, pipeline installation and integrity, electrical and
instrumentation, workforce supply, heavy equipment operators, and environmental services. FLINT is a leading
provider of these services to energy and industrial markets, including oil and gas (upstream, midstream and
downstream), petrochemical, mining, power, agriculture, forestry, infrastructure and water treatment.
These audited consolidated financial statements ("financial statements") were authorized for issuance in
accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors of FLINT passed on March 11, 2025.
As of January 1, 2024, the level of disaggregation of financial results reported to the Company’s chief operating
decision makers has been revised in conjunction with an internal reorganization. As a result, the Company has
one reportable segment as at December 31, 2024. Previously, the Company had two reportable segments: the
Maintenance and Construction Services segment and the Wear Technology Overlay Services segment.
1. Material accounting policies
The following are the accounting policies that management considers material to the users of the consolidated
financial statements. Accounting policy information is considered to be material if its disclosure is needed for
users to understand information provided about material transactions, other events or conditions in the
consolidated financial statements.
a.
Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements are prepared on an historical cost basis in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The accounting policies that follow have been
consistently applied to all years presented.
b.
Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries as at December 31, 2024. The Company conducts business through numerous subsidiaries,
all of which are wholly-owned and therefore controlled by the Company. The financial results of
subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences
until the date that control ceases. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on
consolidation.
P A G E 11
c.
Financial instruments
(i)
Financial assets
When financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of
investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company
considers whether a contract contains an embedded derivative when the entity first becomes a party to it.
Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract which is not measured at fair value through
profit or loss when the analysis shows that the economic characteristics and risks of embedded
derivatives are not closely related to those of the host contract.
The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and, where allowed
and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year end. Financial assets and financial
liabilities are recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet when the Company becomes
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the
contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the contractual rights to those
assets are transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract
is discharged, cancelled or expired.
Cash
Cash is comprised of cash on deposit with financial institutions and is measured at amortized cost.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable, which are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market, are classified as amortized cost and subsequently measured
using the effective interest rate method, net of any impairment.
Impairment provisions for trade receivables are recognized based on lifetime expected credit losses.
During this process the probability of the non-payment of the trade receivables is assessed. This
probability is then multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the
lifetime expected credit loss for the accounts receivable. For accounts receivable, which are reported net,
such provisions are recorded in a separate provision account with the loss being recognized in the
Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss). On confirmation that the
trade receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the
associated provision.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within
one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
(iii) Fair value hierarchy
The Company uses a three level hierarchy to categorize the significance of the inputs used in measuring
the fair value of financial instruments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Where financial instruments are traded in active financial markets, fair value is determined by
reference to the appropriate quoted unadjusted market price at the reporting date. Active markets are
those in which transactions occur in significant frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an
ongoing basis.
Level 2 – If there is no active market, fair value is established using inputs other than quoted prices that
are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted forward prices, time
value, volatility factors and broker quotations.
P A G E 12
Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs that are not based on observable market data and
which are less observable, unavailable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the
instrument’s fair value. Level 3 instruments may include items based on pricing services or broker quotes
where the Company is unable to verify the observability of inputs into their prices. Level 3 instruments
include longer-term transactions, transactions in less active markets or transactions at locations for which
pricing information is not available. In these instances, internally developed methodologies are used to
determine fair value which primarily includes extrapolation of observable future prices to similar location,
similar instruments or later time periods.
If different levels of inputs are used to measure a financial instrument’s fair value, the classification within
the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
d.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes
the costs to purchase, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location. Costs
such as storage costs and administrative overheads that do not directly contribute to bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition are specifically excluded from the cost of inventories
and are expensed in the period incurred. The cost of inventories of items that are not ordinarily
interchangeable, and goods or services produced and segregated for specific projects are assigned by
using specific identification of their individual costs. The weighted average cost formula is used for
inventories other than those dealt with by the specific identification of cost formula. Net realizable value is
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
e.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-
constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, costs directly attributable to bringing
the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items
and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of
the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment. Borrowing costs related to the acquisition
or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for
as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year
end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Depreciation is calculated following the method that best reflects usage and annual rates based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
P A G E 13

Furniture, tools and equipment
Declining balance
10% - 50%

f.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired individually or as part of a group of other assets are recognized and measured
at cost. Intangible assets acquired in a transaction, including those acquired in business combinations,
are initially recorded at their fair value. Intangible assets with determinable useful lives, such as customer
relationships and computer software are amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets having an
indefinite life, such as brands, are not amortized but are subject to an annual impairment test (refer to
Note 1(g)).
Some intangible assets are contained in a physical form, such as a compact disc in the case of computer
software. When the software is not an integral part of the related hardware, computer software is treated
as an intangible asset. Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized using the following
methods and rates based on the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Asset class
Basis
Rate / Term
Customer relationships

Computer software
Declining balance
50% - 100%
g.
Impairment of long-lived assets, indefinite life intangible assets and goodwill
Assets with definite useful lives, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are
amortized over their estimated useful lives. Long-lived assets are assessed for impairment at each
balance sheet date, or whenever events or changes in circumstances occur, whether there is an
indication that such assets may not be recoverable.
If indicators of impairment exist, an estimate of the recoverable amount is made. If the carrying amount of
an asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is
recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the
amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually, or
more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. For the
purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or group of CGUs whose acquisition
gave rise to the goodwill. Assessment of goodwill impairment is performed at the level at which goodwill is
monitored for internal management purposes, which is the CGU level. Goodwill impairment is determined
by assessing whether the carrying amount of the CGU or relevant group of CGUs exceeds the
recoverable amount. Impairment of indefinite life intangible assets is determined by assessing whether
the carrying amount of the CGU to which those indefinite life intangible assets relate exceeds the
recoverable amount.
P A G E 14
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”) and its
value in use (“VIU”). If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
CGU to which the asset belongs is tested for impairment. The FVLCD excludes any costs with respect to
restructuring, employee severance and termination benefits. The VIU is determined using the estimated
future cash flows generated from use and eventual disposition of an asset or CGU discounted to their
present value using a post-tax discount rate and excludes any costs with respect to restructuring,
employee severance and termination benefits.
Assets to be disposed of are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or FVLCD.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists,
FLINT estimates the assets' or CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is
reversed only if there has been a change in the assumption used to determine the asset’s recoverable
amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited such that the carrying
amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined net of depreciation had the impairment loss not been recognized for the asset in
prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and
Comprehensive Income (Loss). Impairment losses relating to goodwill are not subsequently reversed.
h.
Revenue recognition
Contract revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring
control of the promised goods or services to customers. The Company’s revenue is comprised primarily of
contracts with customers to perform services based on cost plus an agreed-upon margin and to contracts
with customers to provide services or construct goods to client specifications for an agreed-upon price.
(i)
Cost plus an agreed-upon margin
Performance obligations arising from contracts with customers require FLINT to provide labour hours and
rental of equipment as requested. Each individual contract may contain multiple performance obligations
and at contract inception, consideration is variable as the total number of hours required is not fixed.
However, under the terms of its contracts with customers, FLINT has the right to consideration in an
amount that corresponds directly with the value to its customers of performance completed to date, and
therefore recognizes revenue over time as it is earned.
(ii) Agreed-upon price
At the inception of each contract with a customer, FLINT identifies the distinct performance obligations
based on promises to transfer distinct goods or services to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is
allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the
performance obligation is satisfied. FLINT’s performance obligations are generally satisfied over time as
work progresses because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. For contracts with multiple
performance obligations, the contract’s transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation using
the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the
contract.
P A G E 15
Transfer of control is measured utilizing an input method to measure progress for contracts based on an
analysis of costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs. These costs, once incurred, are
considered a measure of progress and are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Total
estimated project costs and resulting contract income are affected by changes in the expected cost of
materials and labour, productivity, scheduling and other factors. Additionally, external factors such as
customer requirements and other factors outside of FLINT’s control may affect the progress and
estimated cost of a project’s completion and, therefore, the timing and amount of revenue and income
recognition. Changes in total estimated contract cost and losses, if any, are recognized in the period they
are determined.
Deferred revenue is recognized if a payment is received, or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a
customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services. Deferred revenue is included
within accounts payable and accrued liabilities and is recognized as revenue when the Company
performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).
i.
Income taxes
Income tax expense or recovery comprises current and deferred taxes. Current tax is the expected tax
payable or recoverable on the taxable income for the year and is recognized in the period to which it
relates. Amounts included in current tax reflect the income tax expense or recovery relating to the taxable
income of FLINT and its subsidiaries.
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
used for taxation purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following
temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments
in subsidiaries and interest in joint arrangements to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse
in the foreseeable future.
In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial
recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the
temporary differences when they reverse based on the tax laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if FLINT has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax
assets and liabilities and if the corresponding deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the income taxes
raised by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities that
intend to settle their current tax assets and liabilities either on a net basis or simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date and are reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be
realized.
j.
Leases
(i)
Leases as a lessee
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception. The Company recognizes
a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease contracts in which it is a
lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less or leases of low value assets.
P A G E 16
A right-of-use asset and lease liability is recognized on the lease commencement date. The right-of-use
asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any
lease payments made on or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-
use assets are subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated
useful lives of the assets and the lease term, including periods covered by an option to extend the lease if
the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
lease commencement date. The associated lease payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the
lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease
liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The lease
liability is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index
or rate, if there is change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a
residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a
purchase, extension or termination option.
(ii) Leases as a lessor
The Company enters into sub-lease agreements as a lessor with respect to some of its leased properties.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sublease as two
separate contracts. The sub-lease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-
use asset arising from the head lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are
classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.
k.
Long-term incentive plan
Employees of the Company may receive remuneration in the form of a performance incentive plan ("PIP")
awards for services rendered. Performance vesting conditions are adjusted at each reporting date to
reflect the estimated cash payment at the time of vesting of the award.
l.
Income (loss) per share
The income (loss) per share of FLINT is computed by dividing FLINT’s income (loss) by the weighted
average number of Common Shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income (loss) per
share is determined by adjusting the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding for the
effects of all potentially dilutive Common Shares, using the treasury stock method.
m. Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, FLINT 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. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures
expected to be required to settle the obligation using a discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the
provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
n.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reporting periods. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates
could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment in future periods to the carrying amount of the
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
P A G E 17
Material estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of these consolidated
financial statements are outlined below.
(i)
Revenue recognition – percentage of completion
The nature of certain of the Company’s contracts with customers is such that revenue is earned over time
as the related goods and services are provided. In these instances, revenue is recognized as work is
completed and this requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding
the expected profitability of the contract, the estimated degree of completion based on hours and costs
incurred and other detailed factors. Although these factors are routinely reviewed as part of the project
management process, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in revenue
recognized in a given period.
(ii) Determination of cash generating units
Assets are grouped into CGUs that have been identified as being the smallest identifiable group of assets
that generate cash inflows that are independent of cash flows of other assets or groups of assets. The
allocation of assets into CGUs requires significant judgment and interpretations. Factors considered in the
classification include the integration between assets, the ability of management to allocate finite
resources to complete future projects or contracts, and the way in which management monitors the
operations. The recoverability of the Company’s assets is assessed at the CGU level and therefore the
determination of a CGU could have a significant effect on impairment losses or reversals.
(iii) Impairment of non-financial assets
With respect to property, plant and equipment and definite life intangible assets, judgment is applied by
management in assessing whether there are any indicators of impairment at each reporting date that
would require a full impairment test to be performed. Impairment indicators include, but are not limited to,
a significant decline in an asset’s market value, significant adverse changes in the technological, market,
economic or legal environment in which the assets are operated, evidence of obsolescence or physical
damage of an asset, significant changes in the planned use of an asset, or ongoing under-performance of
an asset. Application of these factors to the facts and circumstances of a particular asset requires a
significant amount of judgment.
Should an impairment test be required and in the annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite life
intangible assets, the determination of the magnitude of impairment involves the use of estimates,
assumptions and judgments on highly uncertain matters particularly with respect to estimating the
recoverable amount of a CGU or a group of CGUs. Such estimates, assumptions and judgments include,
but are not limited to: the choice of discount rates that reflect appropriate asset-specific risks, timing of
revenue and customer turnover, inflation factors for projected costs and the level of capital expenditures
required in future periods to maintain operations.
(iv) Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization
of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business within the
foreseeable future. Management uses judgment to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern and the conditions that cast doubt upon the use of the going concern assumption.
o.
New and amended standards that are effective for the current year
In the current year, the Company applied a number of IFRS amendments that were mandatorily effective
for annual periods that began on or after January 1, 2024.
P A G E 18
(i)
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements has been amended to clarify how to classify liabilities
as either current or non-current. It specifies what is meant by a right to defer settlement; that a
right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; that classification is
unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right; that only if an embedded
derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not
impact its classification; as well as certain disclosure matters.
(ii) IFRS 16 Leases has been amended to specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in
measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-
lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.
(iii) IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures has been
amended to specify disclosure requirements to enhance the current requirements, which are
intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance
arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
The adoption of these amendments had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
p.
Standards issued but not yet effective
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date
of issuance of the financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these new
and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.
(i)
IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates has been amended to impact a
transaction or an operation in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable into another currency at
a measurement date for a specified purpose. The amendments are effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.
The Company has assessed the impact of this amendment and it is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
(ii) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures have been amended
to clarify that financial liabilities are derecognized on the settlement date, which is the date the
obligation is discharged, canceled, or expired. The amendments also introduce an optional
accounting policy that allows entities to derecognized financial liabilities settled through electronic
payment systems before the settlement date, provided specific conditions are met.
Further, the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 introduce new disclosure requirements for
financial assets and liabilities with contractual terms that can change cash flows due to contingent
events not directly related to basic lending risks. Once in effect, entities must disclose a
qualitative description of the contingent event, quantitative information on possible changes to the
entity's contractual cash flows, and the gross carrying amount or amortized cost of affected
financial instruments.
These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
2026, with earlier application permitted. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively, but
entities are not required to restate comparative periods.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.
P A G E 19
(iii) IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements replacing IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements introduces new requirements for presentation within the Consolidated
Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss), including specified totals and
subtotals. Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the
statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes
and discontinued operations.
It also requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined performance measures,
subtotals of income and expenses, and includes new requirements for aggregation and
disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial
statements ("PFS") and the notes. In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash
flows from operations under the indirect method, from ‘profit or loss’ to ‘operating profit or loss’
and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. In
addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards.
IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, is effective for reporting periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2027, but earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. IFRS 18
will apply retrospectively.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard and related amendments on its
financial statements.

Remeasurement
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company amended a building lease to include additional leased premises.
This amendment to the lease agreement represents a lease modification, and therefore the lease liability and
right-of-use assets were remeasured during the quarter. This remeasurement resulted in an increase to the lease
liability and related right-of-use asset of $1,205, which is included in the $1,474 above. The lease amendment will
impact future cash flows, with fixed payments of $21 per month in the first year of the amendment, increasing to
$23 per month in years two to four, with a final increase to $26 per month in years five to seven.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company exercised an option to extend the term of a building
lease for an additional 60 months to April 30, 2030 (original termination date of April 30, 2025). This amendment
to the lease agreement represents a lease modification, and therefore the lease liability and right-of-use asset
were remeasured resulting in an increase to the lease liability and related right-of-use asset of $4,452, which is
included in the $5,951 above. The lease extension will impact future cash flows for the extension period, with fixed
payments of $109 per month in the first year of the extension, increasing to $112 per month in year five.
Information regarding lease liabilities can be found in Note 6.
P A G E 22
Impairment
As at December 31, 2024, the Company did not identify any changes in the indicators of impairment or
impairment reversals or any new indicators of impairment since the last impairment test that was carried out as at
June 30, 2023. Therefore, no further assessment on impairment was performed as there have been no changes
in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment exceeded its recoverable
amount as at December 31, 2024.
During the second quarter of 2023, FLINT identified indicators of impairment for the legacy Wear Technology
Overlay Services ("WTO") cash-generating unit ("CGU") as a result of an increase in market competition resulting
in more competitive pricing and increased cost for both materials and labour due to higher rates of inflation. These
factors had a significant negative impact on operating profit for WTO. In addition, certain of FLINT's customers’
capital spending budgets had been reduced in the near-term and there was significant uncertainty as to the scale
and duration of these developments.
As a result, management performed an impairment test as at June 30, 2023 for the WTO CGU. Based on the
results of this test, the Company concluded that the recoverable amount of the WTO CGU was $18.0 million
which exceeded its carrying amount by $11.5 million. The impairment was allocated to goodwill, and then to the
intangible and long-lived assets within the WTO CGU. The carrying amount of the WTO CGU prior to the
impairment was $29.5 million.
Valuation technique
The recoverable amount of the WTO CGU was calculated based on fair value less costs of disposal, which is
considered to be a level 3 fair value measurement. The fair value less costs of disposal is determined through a
discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach which involves projecting cash flows and converting them into a present
value equivalent through discounting. The discounting process uses a rate of return that is commensurate with the
risk associated with the business or asset and the time value of money. This approach requires assumptions
about earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), capital expenditures, growth
rates, working capital and discount rates.
Projected EBITDA and capital expenditures
Projected EBITDA and capital expenditures are based on FLINT’s internal forecasts for the remainder of the year
and take into consideration current year performance relative to budget, economic trends and market/industry
trends at the time the forecast is developed. The annual budget is developed during the fourth quarter of the
previous year and is updated quarterly by senior management based on actual results. Anticipated future cash
flows are updated to reflect any subsequent changes in expected demand for products and services.
Decreased demand can lead to a decline in EBITDA. A decrease in EBITDA by 10% would result in a further
impairment in the WTO CGU. As at June 30, 2023, projected EBITDA decreased by approximately 30% from the
approved budget developed in the fourth quarter of 2022 resulting in an impairment.
Growth rate and terminal value
FLINT used projected EBITDA and capital expenditures as noted above and applied a perpetual long-term growth
rate of 3% in years 2 through 5 and a terminal growth rate of 2% thereafter for the WTO CGU. The perpetual
growth rates are management's estimate of long-term inflation and productivity growth in the industry and
geographic locations in which it operates.
Management does not believe that a reasonably possible change in the perpetual long-term growth rate for the
WTO CGU would result in a further impairment.
Discount rate
FLINT assumed post-tax discount rates of 19.75% in order to calculate the present value of projected future cash
flows. The discount rates represent a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), which is an estimate of the
overall required rate of return on an investment for both debt and equity owners. The WACC serves as the basis
for developing an appropriate discount rate, adjusted for risks specific to each CGU.
P A G E 23
Management does not believe that a reasonably possible change in the post-tax discount rate for the WTO CGU
would result in a further impairment.

(December 31, 2023 - nil).
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company identified indicators of impairment for the legacy Wear Technology
Overlay CGU (combined with Non-Union CGU as at January 1, 2024) and performed an impairment test which
resulted in an impairment of the goodwill and intangible assets of the CGU to reduce the carrying amount to its
recoverable amount. See Note 3 for additional details.
5. ABL Facility, Term Loan Facility and Other Borrowings
On May 31, 2024, FLINT extended the maturity dates of (a) the ABL Facility to April 14, 2027 (previously April 14,
2025), (b) the Term Loan Facility to the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days following the maturity of the ABL
Facility and (ii) October 14, 2027 (previously October 14, 2025), and (c) the Senior Secured Debentures to
October 14, 2027 (previously March 23, 2026).
P A G E 24
a.
ABL Facility
FLINT has a $50,000 asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") maturing on April 14, 2027.
The amount available under the ABL Facility will vary from time to time based on the borrowing base
determined with reference to the accounts receivable of the Company. The ABL Facility borrowing base
as at December 31, 2024 was $50,000 (December 31, 2023 - $50,000). The obligations under the ABL
Facility are secured by, among other things, a first ranking lien on all of the existing and after acquired
accounts receivable of the Company and the other guarantors, being certain of the Company's direct
subsidiaries. The interest rate on the ABL Facility is the Lender's prime rate plus 1.75% (December 31,
2023 - Lender's prime rate plus 2.5%).
As at December 31, 2024, nil (December 31, 2023 - nil) was drawn on the ABL Facility, and there were
$400 (December 31, 2023 - $2,147) of letters of credit reducing the amount available to be drawn. As at
December 31, 2024, the net amount of deferred financing costs was $304 (December 31, 2023 - $323).
The financial covenants applicable under the ABL Facility are as follows:
•
The Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1.00:1.00 for
each twelve month period calculated and tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter; and
•
For each fiscal year, the Company must not expend or become obligated for (i) any capital
expenditures in an aggregate amount exceeding $20,000 and (ii) any non-financed capital
expenditures in an aggregate amount exceeding $8,000.
As at December 31, 2024, FLINT was in compliance with all financial covenants under the ABL Facility.
b.
Term Loan Facility
FLINT has a term loan facility providing for maximum borrowings of up to $40,500 (the “Term Loan
Facility”) with Canso Investment Counsel Ltd., in its capacity as portfolio manager for and on behalf of
certain accounts that it manages (“Canso”). The Term Loan Facility matures on the earlier of (a) the date
that is 180 days following the maturity date of the ABL Facility and (b) October 14, 2027.
As at December 31, 2024, $40,500 (December 31, 2023 - $40,500) was outstanding under the Term Loan
Facility. The Term Loan Facility is required to be used for specific purposes and cannot be redrawn once
repaid. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility is a fixed rate of 8.0% (December 31, 2023 - fixed rate
of 8.0%). The net amount of deferred financing costs was $176 as at December 31, 2024 (December 31,
2023 - $222).
c.
Other Secured Borrowings
On June 26, 2019, the Company received $19,000 from two secured loans with the Business
Development Bank of Canada (“BDC”) as a partial source of funds for the acquisition of certain assets of
the production services division of AECOM Production Services Ltd. (the "AECOM PSD Business").
The $13,500 loan has monthly principal payments of $45, with the final payment to occur on October 2,
2045. The interest rate on the loan is the BDC Floating Base Rate less 1.0%. Interest accrues and is
payable monthly. The Company allocated $195 in deferred financing costs to this loan that will be
amortized over the life of the loan.
The $5,500 loan had monthly principal payments of $75. The interest rate on the loan was the BDC
Floating Base Rate less 0.5%. Interest accrued and was payable monthly. The Company allocated $85 in
deferred financing costs to this loan that were amortized over the life of the loan. The final payment for
this loan occurred on June 6, 2024.
P A G E 25
The loans are secured by a first security interest on the real property and equipment acquired through the
acquisition of the AECOM PSD Business and a security interest in all other present and future property,
subject to the priorities granted to existing lenders under the ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility, the
senior secured debentures and other existing commitments.
The loan agreements with BDC requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio equal to
or greater than 1.00:1.00 for each twelve month period calculated and tested as of the last day of each
fiscal year.
As at December 31, 2024, FLINT was in compliance with all financial covenants under the $13,500 loan
agreement with BDC.

On March 23, 2016, the Company issued 8.0% senior secured debentures due March 23, 2026 (the
"Senior Secured Debentures") pursuant to a trust indenture between FLINT, as issuer, and BNY Trust
Company of Canada, as debenture trustee, as amended and supplemented (the "Senior Secured
Indenture"), on a private placement basis to Canso. On June 2, 2020, the debenture trustee was changed
to Computershare Trust Company of Canada. On May 31, 2024, the maturity date of the Senior Secured
Debentures was extended to October 14, 2027.
The Senior Secured Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 8.0% payable in arrears on June 30
and December 31 of each year. The Senior Secured Debentures are redeemable at the option of the
Company and, in certain circumstances, are mandatorily redeemable. The Senior Secured Debentures
are secured by first-ranking liens over all of the property of the Company and its guarantor subsidiaries,
other than certain limited classes of collateral over which the Company has granted a prior-ranking lien in
favour of the ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the other secured loans.
The Senior Secured Debentures provide for certain events of default and covenants of the Company,
including financial and reporting covenants and restrictive covenants limiting the ability of the Company
and its subsidiaries to make certain distributions and dispositions, incur indebtedness, grant liens and
limitations with respect to acquisitions, mergers, investments, non-arm’s length transactions,
reorganizations and hedging arrangements (subject to certain exceptions).
On June 30, 2024, Canso, in its capacity as portfolio manager for and on behalf of certain accounts that it
manages and sole holder of the Senior Secured Debentures, agreed to accept the issuance of Senior
Secured Debentures on June 30, 2024 with a principal amount of $5,205 in order to satisfy the interest
that would otherwise have become due and payable on such date.

FLINT has approximately $80,605 of net capital losses that have not been recognized in the consolidated financial
statements as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $80,606). There is no expiry of capital losses.
P A G E 28
10. Long-term incentive plan
The Company has a long-term incentive plan that provides participants with a cash settlement based on
achieving certain performance criteria and is earned based on service requirements over a three year period. In
2024, the Board of Directors approved the granting of additional awards with a three-year performance period
and similar performance metrics and weightings as awards granted in previous years. PIP awards are payable
within one month following approval of the Company’s annual financial statements for those years.
As at December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of $6,207 (December 31, 2023 - $5,586) represents the net
present value of estimated future cash payments expected to be earned under the program based on
management’s best estimate of the performance criteria over the performance periods ending December 31,
2024, 2025 and 2026, adjusted for the portion of the performance period that has been completed.
11. Share capital and income (loss) per share
The authorized share capital of the Company consists of: (i) an unlimited number of Common Shares, and
(ii) Preferred Shares issuable in series to be limited in number to an amount equal to not more than one half of
the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of issuance of such Preferred Shares. The following
table summarizes the number of Preferred and Common Shares outstanding:

110,001,239
The Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares have a 10.0% fixed cumulative preferential cash dividend payable
when the Company shall have sufficient monies to be able to do so, including under the provisions of applicable
law and contracts affecting the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company does not intend to declare or
pay any cash dividends until the Company’s balance sheet and liquidity position supports the payment. Any
accrued and unpaid dividends are convertible in certain circumstances at the option of the holder into additional
Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares.
As at December 31, 2024, the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares
totaled $110,234 (December 31, 2023 - $93,456). Assuming that the holders of the Preferred Shares exercise the
right to convert such accrued and unpaid dividends into additional Preferred Shares and then convert such
Preferred Shares into Common Shares, approximately 472,827,081 (December 31, 2023 - 396,281,829) Common
Shares would be issued, which represents approximately 429.8% (December 31, 2023 - 360.3%) of the Common
Shares outstanding as at December 31, 2024.
In addition, holders of the Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares have the right, at their option, to convert their
Preferred Shares into Common Shares at a price of $0.35 and $0.10 per Common Share, respectively, subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances. During the year ended December 31, 2024, no Series 1 or Series 2
Preferred Shares were converted into Common Shares (year ended December 31, 2023 - no Series 1 or Series 2
Preferred Shares were converted into Common Shares).
The Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares are redeemable by the Company for cash at 110% of the purchase
price for such shares, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, once all of the outstanding Senior Secured Debentures
have been repaid and are subject to repayment in the event of certain change of control transactions.
P A G E 29
Based upon the conversion rights of the Series 1 and Series 2 Preferred Shares there could be significant dilution
to the current holders of Common Shares. Up to approximately 765,948,571 (December 31, 2023 - 766,059,000)
additional Common Shares would be issuable upon conversion of the face amount of the Preferred Shares into
Common Shares, representing approximately 696.3% (December 31, 2023 - 696.4%) of the Common Shares
outstanding as at December 31, 2024.
As the terms of the Preferred Shares do not create an unavoidable obligation to pay cash, the Preferred Shares
are accounted for within shareholders' deficit, net of transaction costs.

Facility, the Term Loan Facility, the Senior Secured Debentures and other secured borrowings.
a.
Risk management
FLINT’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of FLINT’s risk
management framework. FLINT has exposure to credit risk, interest rate risk, customer concentration risk,
and liquidity risk.
(i)
Credit risk
The Company has exposure to credit risk, which is the risk of financial loss to FLINT if a customer or
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from
FLINT’s accounts receivable. The following table outlines FLINT’s maximum exposure to credit risk:

Total
$

Cash is held at Canadian Schedule A Banks and is therefore considered low credit risk.
P A G E 30
FLINT has a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness
before standard payment terms and conditions are offered. FLINT’s exposure to credit risk with its
customers is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. When available, FLINT
reviews credit bureau ratings, bank accounts and financial information for each new customer. FLINT’s
customers are primarily Canadian energy companies engaged in upstream, midstream and downstream
activities, all of which have strong creditworthiness.
Of the total balance of accounts receivable at December 31, 2024, $111,283 (December 31, 2023 -
$93,685) related to trade receivables and $50,875 (December 31, 2023 - $46,219) related to accrued
revenue (i.e., for work performed but not yet invoiced) and other. $43,353 of the accrued revenue and
other as at December 31, 2024, represents an unconditional right to consideration (December 31, 2023 -
$33,648).
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally due on 30-90 day terms. As at December 31,
2024, approximately $9,721 of FLINT’s trade receivables had been outstanding longer than 90 days
(December 31, 2023 - $12,295). Subsequent to December 31, 2024, $3,514 of the $9,721 over 90 days
was collected. Management has fully evaluated the outstanding receivables as at December 31, 2024
and has determined that the lifetime expected credit losses of the trade receivables is immaterial at this
time.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility of the future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating as
a result of changes in the market rates of interest. FLINT is subject to interest rate risk on its ABL Facility
and other secured borrowings. The required cash flow to service certain credit facilities will fluctuate as a
result of changes in market rates.
A 1% increase in interest rates would have increased interest expense for the year ended December 31,
2024, by approximately $112 (December 31, 2023 - $127).
(iii) Customer concentration risk
Revenues of FLINT are concentrated, with its top three customers representing 38.1% of consolidated
revenue (December 31, 2023 - 33.9%) and 29.3% of consolidated accounts receivable (December 31,
2023 - 30.0%). More specifically, FLINT's largest customer accounted for 16.4% or $116,231 of FLINT's
consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - 12.9% or $84,613).
(iv) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that FLINT will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due.
FLINT’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring
unacceptable losses or risking damage to its reputation.

(1) Carrying value is presented gross of debt issuance costs.
(2) Carrying value is presented as undiscounted cash flows.
FLINT’s strategy is that long-term debt should always form part of its capital structure, assuming an
appropriate cost. As existing debt approaches maturity, FLINT will replace it with new debt, convert it into
equity or refinance or restructure, depending on the state of the capital markets at the time.
FLINT manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual gross profit and cash
flows from operations. The Company anticipates that its liquidity (cash on hand and available credit
facilities) and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its short-term contractual obligations
and to maintain compliance with its financial covenants through December 31, 2025. To maintain
compliance with its financial covenants through December 31, 2025, the Company can request approval
from the holder of the Senior Secured Debentures to pay interest on the Senior Secured Debentures in
kind (see Note 5).

15. Capital management
FLINT's capital structure is comprised of shareholders' equity and current and non-current debt. FLINT's
objectives when managing capital are to support its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide
returns for its shareholders. Maintaining liquidity, managing financial risk and optimizing the cost of capital are key
factors that set the framework for FLINT capital management strategy.
FLINT is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than standard and restrictive financial
covenants contained in the ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility, the Senior Secured Debentures and the other
secured borrowings.
